ornithonhile Flowers.

1t Is not only insects that serve for
the polinatIon OF flowers, but several
species Of birds perform similar or
flee for certain flowers. Among these
are hummIng birds ana sunbirds. With
their long tongues these birds procure
nectar, and with II pollen, from How
ers which are practically inaccessible
or distasteful to insects. The pollen Is
distributed to other flowers during the
successive visits of the birds. There
are some tropical plants which flourish
only II these birds abound.

The Crab as a Fishe rman.

The crab sometimes catches fish,
and it catches it without hook and
line. 1t lies in wait, perhaps in
some creek, with its claws extended
in front and open. Perhaps school
of killies comes along, and it may
be that a killie on the outskirts of
the school may swim unsuspecting-
ly along through the clear water be-
tween the upper and lower parts Of
one of the motionless open claws of
the crab. When it is well within
them the claw suddenly snaps to-
gether, ard that particular little
killie goes no farther.

Governor Harmon.

Columbus Press.
In the election of the Hon. .JId-
son Harmon az governor, which
now seems assured, the people of
Ohio, irrespective of party, have
reason to congratulate themselves.
| It means that the voters of the
stale haye placed in the chair of
| the chief executive man eminent
y fitted, in all ways, to fill that
! high Office with credit to himself
and the electorate which put him
there.
Born of the people, his heart is
still with those from whom he
sprung. His every impulse, his
every desire and aim are to serve
the whole people, to whom he so
feelingly referred during he cam
paign, and not bow to the dictates
of special interests and favored
few.
His election is no surprise to
those who followed his course
with observing eyes since the day
of his nomination. Believing the
interests of the people demanded
an administration at the state
house which would frown on the
reckless handling of the public
money and decry the policy of
succession in office, he made these
the issues. He refused to he
turned from the course he had
laid out and went straight ahead
The result vIndicates his Judge
ment. He knew the people and
the people learned to know and to
trust him.
1t was not alone his policy of
campaign which won the victory.
His personality was towering
element Of strength. lie moved
among the people as one Of them.
Plain, sincere, honest, he radiated
these virtues wherever he went.
The voters saw in him q man of
commanding intellect and fixed
purpose who knew the right and
would enforce it. lie gained their
confidence and their respect and
love.
Grating will become lost nrl
at the statehouse under hie
administration. The people
money will be handled for the
benefit Of tho people and not fol
the advantage of officials. A new
system will prevail and the public
be the gamer.
The Press-Post has peculiar
qualification in Judge Harmon
election. This was the one Demo
cratic paper, Il Gated in great
city, that made determ ined ant
consistent fight for his success
and the success Of the entire
Democratic ticket from the very
opening of the campaign. Ii has
never wayered in the belief that
the people, when the real feets
were brought 10 their attention,
would register their ballots in be-
half of a clean and honest state

voters.

full tales of unusual animals. Last
week it was the deadly snow snake,
four feet long and two inches in cir

hicle of physician and attacked him.
This week it is blind doe, led through
the forests by a large buck whose tail
she grasped between her teeth and
held on with such force that when shot
the en,i broke off and was retained in

Synopsis Of address b. one 81
the mem bers Of the Wisconsin
State Tax Commission:
The first portion of the nd
dress presents q brief view o1
the subject of taxation. its ne
cessity and great usefulness.
Legitimate taxation is q mark Of
civilization; it's increase, though
inevitable in progressive com
nonwealths, is not cause for
alarm if kept within reasonable
bounds.
In the second part municipal
Iextravagance is onsi dered
Stress is laid upon the import
ance of scientific business meth
DDS in the adminisurd ton Of mu-
nicipal affairs, particularly those
involving the raising and ex-
penditure OF public funds. A
system Of uniform accounting is
mentioned and approved, but is
no t sufficient to accomplish
needed reforms. Il is OF great
er Importance to secure the sew
ice Of men trained in municipal
administration. The impracti
cability of doing this BY the
methods now provided by law is
pointed out. II is possible only
by abandoning SO much of our
present system Of local self gov
ernment as is necessary to have
municipal administrators select.
ed by some method better calcu
lated to secure the services 9.
men with requisite qualifications.
It is conceded that such propos
al is not in line with more pure
ly democratic ideas of manage
ment Of municipal affairs, but it
is shown that the present trend
is in the direction Of centralizing
authority and responsibility as q
means Of securing more efficient
public service and greater econ
omy in public expenditures.
The third section of the adj
dress treats Of the apportion-
ment of tax burdens and the inc
qualities resulting from omis-
sions and arbitrary valuations of
property in local assessments.
such assessments have not i'm
proved materially in TO ont
years and in some respects have
grown worse, Notwithstanding
all the efforts for Improvement
made by acts Of the Legislature
and otherwise. Assessors and
boards oflrevieW are not charg-
ed with having less respect tor
law or official obligation than
other citizens or officials. but de
nunciation is melted out to the
system under which influences
tending to bad assessments are
of greater force than the COM
mands Of the Java system
which requires Of assessing Off
GERS moral stamina not possess
ed by the average man. It is
more practicable TO revise the
system than to reform human
nature. If assessors, instead Of
owing their offices to local elect
ors, were elected by some out
side authority and with refer
ence to capacity, with tenure OF
Office and compensation depend
ing on faithfulness and efficien-
cy, they would be immune to the
influences now producing such
evil results. But Me constitu
ton provides that assessing Of
ficers must be chosen by electors
of the district in which they are
to serve, or by officials Of such
district, and stands ID the way Of
such reform.
shall the constitution be
changed in this respect?
