In a few days the art galleries at the Blackstone library will be open at stated hours for loan exhibition of magnificent oil paintings from A. M. Young's New York home. The pictures include marine, pastoral and snow scenes by famous present-day artists, besides other subjects, that will be made known when the exhibition opens. Several of the pictures are val ued at s5,000. The framing is work of art, as we'll as the canvas. The art galleries at the library now contain two loans, one by the late T. F, Ham, mer, who loaned two immense canvases from the brush of his brother, the late William F. Hammer of Denmark. One is the Home of the Bees" and the other Harvest" The late Hon. Lynde Harrison presented to the library be- fore his death picture painted by Alexander Harrison of Paris. IA. M, Youngs loan is the most valuable of all, and the pictures show to fine ad- vantage in the massive setting of the library finish.

 Never before in the towns history has the schools occupied such prom inent place in the eyes of the public as they do just at the present. Last week the principal topic was Stony Creek transportation, but now Short Beach Is to the front. Monday night A public meeting was held at the chapel to take action on the order of the com mittee of the school board sending the Short Beach and Bushy Plain children to Canoe Brook school. Nearly 50 were present and the unanimous opinion of the meeting was in favor of reopen ing the Short Beach school, and con- ntttee of seven was appointed to con- suit with the members of the school board and see what can be done in the matter, and the committee was given power to act. The members are: E. R. Kelsey, jr., E. B. Knowles, F. P. Prin- dle Walter Hilt, Claus A. Johnson and Harry Broadhurst. They will endeavor to have special meeting of the board called at once. Quite number of the parents kept their children home rath- CT than send them to Canoe Brook. The committe stated that there were more children at Short Beach than could be accommodated in the old building, but that they would endeavor to have the board open the school for the little ones, those under 10 or Il years. It is stated that several parents have sent their children away rather than have them come to the center school. Yesterday several of the committee called on different mem 5ers of the school board to discuss the question.

There is difference of opinion how
far Secretary Root intended to go in
his New York speech on the centraliza-
ton of power in the hands of the
Federal government. Representative
Mccall, of Massachusetts, an indepen-
dent Republican. says: IF Mr.. Root
simply means that the constitutional
laws of the United States should be
supreme, no one will quarrel with the
proposition. But if he means that if
the States shall fail to exercise their
own functions to the satisfaction of the
men who at the time may happen to
be running the national government.
the latter may usurp andexercise those
functions. should find myself unable
to agree with that" Democrats uni
yersally view with hearty disfavor the
centralizing process that has been go
ing on under the Roosevelt administra-
ton, which Mr.. Root was undoubtedly
trying to justify. Many Republicans
agree generally with the position
taken by Congressman Mccall, al
though but few of them care to openly
crlticlse the Administration. There is
the legitimate way of constituting the
constitution. and those who cannot get
a construction to suit them must strive
Tor constitutional convention, but in
the meantime to allow any President
or party to override the constitution
would only bring on friction between
the federal and state governments.
which would result in disaster.

Chronic Promises.

The chronic promises of the Repub-
llcans that the tariff will be revised
by it's friends" have now been changed
by adding latter the next presidential
election. if then it be found necessary. :"
1t is said the President has arrived at
the conclusion that the best way to re-
wise the tariff is by means of recipro-
city treaties, under which concessions
can be made to the countries that
make equivalent concessions in favor
OF our products. That was the policy
expressly declared in the tariff law.
DIT when President Mckinley had ne
get aced large number of reciprocity
treaties, the United States Senate re-
fused to ratify them. AS the same
trust controlled Republican Senators
are still in control Of the Senate and
the Republican standpat statesmen of
the House of Representatives feel the
same way. how is the reciprocity pro-
gram to be carried into effect? When
the trust and corporation mangates
turn saints and no longer furnish cam
paign funds for the G. o. P. the tariff
may be revised, but it will be done by
Democrats, for the Republican party
will be out of power.

Deserve What They Get.

AS Hartman controls California
politically, through the rairload mo-
nopoly in the State and by the money
he furnishes the Republican poilticiagsss
why not let his also protect California
from the Japanese instead of the rest
of us bothering about it? The people
OF any state that allow a railroad or
trust baron to control them deserve ali
that they get. Such a remedy is rather
hard on the Democrats and other good
people who have been fighting the cor
rupt Republican ring. but they mGst
spur up and fight the harder and csll
upon all good citizens to join with
them.
