1t is reported that Prof. Chambers,
Republican nominee for county su'
perintendent OF schools, has had his
picture took" to adorn the pages
OF the Republican i'apers and to
beautiiy circulars sent out to individ-
ual voters. Now the Professor is a
handsome man, a perfect beau
IDEAL" and II the ladies, God bless
then, voted, we would think Is an
election scheme OF vast possibilities.
But as the dear creatures are not
permitted to vote and the husky
men exercise the right OF suffrage,
and as the men OF that party clearly
indicated such preference two years
ago, we would suggest that candi-
date Chambers get the picture of q
good looking woman and send out
with his campaign literature. OF
course this Is only a suggestion but
1t might prove fetching" argu-
ment, as 1t did that Campaign.

published by every paper In thecoun-
ty, that the assessment nv che taxes
OF 1906 made Ivy township assessors

ed, and advised a double assessment
by the county collector,
Notwithstanding this opinion from
SO high an official authority, the tax,
payers of Bates county. recognizing
good citizenship above legal techni.
sali.ies, have paid their taxes. 1t Is
said that taxes, next TO security

Of the schools OF the county would

effort, and his collections were very

TINES for % years under the present

about two years. A quarter Of a
century is "a long time for man to
hold one position, and certainly dem
onstrates his efficiency and faith

that Mr.. Davis is an honest man,
capable in his line, faithful to his

regarded him more as an associate

We release him with sincere regret.

of them. They are to be seen every.
where and, as they are never molested
they regard mankind with Indifference
Another bird which is protected Is the
pelican, which may be seen grubbing

succeeded his father, was viscount AL
thorp, confessed, at recent reunion
at Harrow, that one of. the most awk-
ward moments of his life occurred
while he was pupil at the great
public school.
He was present, he said, in the
Vaughan Library when the king then
Prince Of Wales, visited Harrow.
The book in which the minutes of the
debating society were recorded was
shown to the royal visitor. AS fate de-
creed, the page on which 1t opened con-
tained this resolution:
That regicide is justifable, moved
by Vlscount Althorp."

were the most natural thing in the
world for loyal subject to be In favor
or making way with the sovereign.
