AN ANTHONY OPINION.

less and so uniformly right, and there
1ore 1t IS with feeling of chagrin not
unmlxed with pain that we note his
latest pronouncement to the effect that
ne likes man who "sings at his
work"
We have always held that we were
quite within Our own right when we
hurled a book at the fellow next us
VINO persisted in singing or drumming
with his fingers, or whistling. We
nave maintained that where this evil
dence OF disapproval should be inef-

And we like music, too
me man who sings at his work isn't
gong lt-that is, working. And he is
disturbing other persons in their work
more frequently than otherwise. If
there must be singing of the sort that
the president encourages it should be
AFTER working hours. The president
IS dead wrong on this proposition

MOTIVES.
The Star thinks it happy that
Hughes is one of these governors who
can veto a two-cent fare bill without
having his motives misconstrued And
there are others, unhappily, who also
would veto two-cent fare or any 9TH
er anti-corporation bill and their mo-
tives would not be misconstrued.
Their motives are exactly opposite
from those of Hughes, and the public
generally is dead on to" them.-Law-

BRIDES AND THE FUTURE.
The usual output of spring brides
will soon tempt the fates, and some
rosebud mouths will retain the pro-
