implements, comprising full ship
load, were shipped from Brooklyn
last week for distribution among
the sale depots In Russia. The car

cream separating machines and the

foregoing item proves that he does
not hesitate to speak right out in

PUTTING THEA IN TOUCH.

The Government has determined
upon the policy Of putting the life
saving station Of the country in in.
slant and constant touch with the ac-
tive communities next and nearest to
them, and the plan is highly com
mended everywhere. There is no
branch Of the public service that calls
for more intimate and easy relation
with the working public than this de-
partment. It is notorious fact thar
the great majority Of the stations are
remote and often inaccessible, and the
idea Of putting them in telephone
communication with their nearest
neighbors is as wise as it is generous.
This is especially true Of the service
out on this coast, where there are long
and arduous distances TO be com
passed before the life-savers may get
in touch with anyone beyond their
peculiar and lonely habitat. II is not
only essential as matter Of social
Intercourse, but Of safety and health
and business expediency. It is well
that the Government itself should be
in reader contact with these import
ant stations and gather the grave
facts they have often to send out; a
condition that win tend to hasten the
relief that is beyond the capacity Of
the station, and give to the wide
world details Of wreck and loss and
disaster for which it waits far too
long at times.

"IN ARIZONA"


Whether taken as a whole or in
part, ARIZONA" holds the attention
Of both the casual playgoer and the
one who wishes to go deeper into the
story Of the passion Of life. The en-
vironment is such that one finds
ceaseless attraction in this bit Of dia-
1ogue or that bit Of action. The char
acters are such that the soldier, the
cowboy and the woman, one after
another occupy the principal place.
Having chosen an appealing theme
for his story, Augustus Thomas, the
author, also selected a collection Of
people who could not only preserve
all the virtue which there is in the
central idea, but who would each, by
contrast to the other, carry the cen
trail plan and make this mimic world
seem like real one. The force Of
the characters and the excellence Of
the situations are backed up by dia.
logue which is always brisk, as the
talk Of the West should be, and which
has lightness now, or a sombreness
then, that is as distinct as the noun
tains and the shadows that form the
background scenes.

SCHOOLS CLOSE DOWN
FOR HOLIDAYS
SLIGHT FEAR OF ScARLATINA
EPIDEMIC LEADS BOARD
TO ACT.

| AT a meeting Of the board Of edusa
sion yesterday i was decided 70 clos'
the city schcaAs for the holidays viii
1.-THE session yesterday afternoon
Hence there will be no school today
or until on Monday January 9 This
fear that the few cases Of searlatins
that have developed recently might
spread among the school children va:
the reason for closing down the class
Is two days earlier than had been an,
hounced,
The Christmas holidays were to
have begun the middle Of this week
anyway. and hence the board deemed
il the part of wisdom 10 close them
down two days earlier and avoid all
danger oi any epidemic among the
little folks.
AT present there are only two hous-
Is under quarantine for the scarlet
fever, and there really is not the
slightest idea in the minds Of anyone
that the situation Is at all serious; but
IL was simply thought bes, 70 quiet
the fears Of the mothers who had be.
gun to worry about their childrea.
One or more cases OF the searlatina,
which is in very mild form, had ap-
peared in one Of the schools and the
rooms where there is the slightest
danger OF contagion win be thorough
ly fumiga,ed.
Dr. Reames, the city health officer,
stated that the situation is not in the
least alarming, but DR., Reames eyi-
IDENTIFY thought with the board Of edu-
cation that 1t would do no harm to
drop off the last two days Of school
to avoid any possibility of eontagion
among the pupils and to ease the
fears Of the mothers
The city health officer apparently
has the situation well in hand and
every case win be watched thor
oughIy.
There is an element Of huuor in
the matter also. Last Friday the stn-
dents in the High School petitioned
the board Of education for q holiday
Of two weeks, commencing with TO-
day. but the board saw fit to grant
one Of a little less than two weeks,
commencing Thursday Of this week.
Hence the pupils think the joke IS
more or less on the board. since the
vacation Of the full two weeks--with
the aid Of the scarlatina seare-has
now been granted.

QUESTION OF PUBLICITY.

There are times when the province
II / newspaper becomes somewhat
ambiguous IN the matter Of giving
the news, especially in . city Of this
size owing 70 the urgency Of police
interest in cases that require more or
less siIenee IN order 10 enable those
charged with the duty Of capturing
the auilty parties to do their full duty.
Al papers resist this demand as far
"A shey are able 10 do SO, on the
ground that the public has right 10
know the happenings Of the day in
order that the necessary precautions
may Be taken to hedge against the
repetition Of the oEenses against pub
III security and peace.
the Morning Astorian has been
particularly amenable to this rule and
has observed il, to It's own discredit
at times, rather than interfere with
tie operation Of the police depart
menf and is not quite sure that It's
assistance has been really appreciated.
Nc good reporter likes to be aheld
10 an this score and bis management
nsuaiIv dresses him down. when the
absence Of 1 i've item is noted. But
she play Of Justice comes FIRST with
all concerned and the paper falls in
line, as It should.
When matter Of civic interest be-
comes public property by word Of
mouth on the streets, It would seem
that the newspaper has the FIRST right
10 Il. as the purveyor Of the general
scheme Of news at hand. And II hap
pens, oftener than not that the paper
observes a reservation quite unappre-
ciated BY The general public. who,
knowing the fact itself, looks daily
for. the details and falling to get them,
resents the omission, without regard
ing the basis Of the papers action.
With this presentment Of the matter,
The Morning Astorian here and now
declares it will ignore the rule in
future, and give the news as it gets it
Il ii weary Of being reproached for
defeiictions made in this behalf.
