Plan to Buy Piano For a scloo

The children of the public schools at
Swedesboro, n j., are having the time
of their lives. says a special dispatch
to the St. Louis Republic. All day
they can sit in school and chew gum or
eat candy, and when their supply runs
out they can go to their teacher and
buy more. for every teacher now runs
confectionery store and sells the
children all the candy they wish to
buy. The profit is to be used to
purchase piano for the $4,000 school
house now in the course of erection.
OF course the rule forbidding children
eating in school hours has not been re-
voked, but under the present circum-
stances it is but natural that the teach
ers cannot always see when the rule
is being broken.

eix Training on Hungarian Race Track
For Their New Venture.
One of the first visible evidences of
the reality of Count Okuma's advice to
the japanese nation to extend its eco
nomic activities beyond the orient and
into Europe is the appearance of six
japanese youths on an Austro-Hun-
garian race track as jockeys, says a
special cable dispatch from Berlin.
Germany, to the New York Times.
Baron Won Szemero, the we'll known
Hungarian sportsman, has engaged
them for his stable and will put them
through course Of instruction during
this winter with view to their riding
his horses on various European tracks
next summer He believes that their
light weight and natural skill equip
them ideally for jockeyship.
The experiment will be watched with
great interest by German stable own
ers with the view OF importing Japa
nese riders themselves.

Commissioned White is superior in
rank of Second Assistant Secretary
Brown, or vice versa.
There have been squabbles in the
government in regard to relative RANK,
in which arguments have been brought
forward to show that this, that or the
other man is fairly entitled to the pre-
cedence he claims. 1t will be interest
ing, therefore, for the average man and
woman to read an official list as it is
now applied under the the administrs
ton OF President Roosevelt. This lisV
Of relative rank was prepared by the
state department and was furnished to
the white house for the guidance of the
master of ceremonies there. who is Il
colonel in the regular army. only after
it had been carefully gone over by the
president and Mrs. Roosevelt and
thoroughly discussed by the cabinet.
American Rank.
Here is the official list of our Amer
lean official aristocracy:
/. The president.
2. The vice president.
8. Ambassadors.
4. Secretary of state.
S. Foreign ministers and charge
d'affaires.
6. Secretary of the treasury.
Z. Secretary of war.
8. Attorney general
8. Postmaster general.
10. Secretary of the navy.
IL. Secretary Of the interior.
12. Secretary of agriculture.
IS. Secretary of commerce and labor.
IA. Chief justice of the supreme court.
10. Associate justices.
16. Governors of states in the order
of admission Of the state to the un-
ion.
II. President pro tempore of the
senate.
IS. Senators.
10. Speaker of the house.
20. Representatives in congress.
81. General commanding the army.
%. Admiral of the navy.
%. Assistant secretaries in the same
order as heads Of departments.
"a. Heads of Independent govern
ment commissions and other bodies,
chiefs of bureau and other officials,
following long rule of established rank,
based on relative Importance and date
of creation of service, without regard
to official age Of incumbent.
How Women Are Affected.
Taking the list as a basis, women
in each group must call first on all
those above them. and those in high
est rank make personal calls on only
few grades below themselves, leaving
cards on the rest or ignoring them
entire1y No woman leaves a card on
woman who ranks above her. and
those who neglect to follow out these
extraordinary rules are soon forced to
obey them by the memorable operation
of the rules themselves, and by the
desire every wife has to further the
political propects of her husband.
And the curious thing about it all is
that, as we have no hereditary or per-
manent social class, woman who is
near the top Of the list today may be
at the foot of the table or outside on
the sidewalk tomorrow.

IN recent speech delivered in con-

Germans 5,310; of Irish 713; Italians
from southern Italy 115,S03; of the

the stream Of laborers who came here
for the purpose Of getting temporary
employment with the idea Of carrying
their earnings back home.

been most effective. There have been

POWERS G. HOWARD PARDoNED.
End of a Most Remarkable Trial In
Kentucky.

Gov. Wilson Of Kentucky on last
Saturday says a Frankfort dispatch,
pardoned both Powers and Howard.
Caleb Powers was released from the
Jail at 10 o'clock and went at once to
a hotel.
James B. Howard was released from
the penitentiary at Frankfort, Satur-
day morning.
The friends of Caleb Powers say
that he will be taken in honor to the
Republican national convention.
The campaign that ended in the
defeat of Goebel at the polls, the
struggle incident to his legislative
contest, whereby he snatched the gov
ernorship from Taylor, his assassina-
tion and the campaign Of proscrip-
ton waged by his partisans after his
death were replete with dramatic
situations and crowded the stage with
actors who played important parts,
but of all the participants, none, not
even Goebel himself, focused public
attention more clearly than Caleb
Powers, the Republican secretary OF
state.
Powers has been fighting with the
halter around his neck for eight years.
During all that time he has lain large
ly in the power Of his political oppo-
nents. Four times Powers has been
tried for his life.
Howard, alleged to be the man who
actually fired the shot that killed
Goebel, was under life sentence.
Gov. Wilson, in the statement given
out, says that an application for par
don, signed by nearly 100000 persons,
some 100000 Kentuckians and a
large proportion Of them Democrats.
He said he had given the case his
most careful, conscientious and thor
ough investigation and thought in his
power, realizing that he would be
criticised whatever his decision might
be.
The governor added: 1.-THE murder
Of Senator Goebel destroyed a re-
markable life, brought the deepest
grief to his family and thousands Of
friends who loved him, overthrew a
state election and destroyed the peace
and good feeling of the state for
eight years, set neighbor against neigh
Dor, made politics almost war, stained
the good name Of Kentucky, and shock
ed the civilized world. There was and
is no shadow of excuse or palliation for
this base crime. There can be no
mercy for any one guilty of murder or
aiding or abetting 1t, but more grave
crime. more serious is the responsible
ity of deciding the question Of guilt
and the more imperative duty OF
guarding against injustice and wrong
imposed under pressure of public eX-
citement, passion or prejudice"

THE FIRST COTTON BLOOM.

The first cotton bloom of the season
reached this office last Saturday morn
ing, the 18th, it having been sent by
Mr.. A. F. Plexico Of Sharon.
A number Of people to whom the
bloom was shown, including several
farmers, identified 1t at first sight: but
when warned that their regulations for
judgment and familiarity with such a
common object were at stake, renigged
and said it was not a cotton bloom.
But it was a cotton bloom all right
1t was an imperfect and undeveloped
specimen, to be sure. Comparison Of
the leaves, however, with other leaves
known to be the genuine article, show
ed that there could be no mistake. And
If it had not been a cotton bloom, Mr..
Plexico would not have sent it as such.
He is not that kind of man.
This is the earliest bloom of which
we have any record in this county.
The Enquirer has been noting the first
bloom for more than half century,
and while we have not taken the trou-
BILE to look up each and every year,
the earliest previous bloom developed
by our investigation was June II. This
came in on June 19, as did also the
first bloom of 1906. The first bloom Of
last year did not make it's appearance
until June 80, which is at least ten
4 lot ha
recent years.
Discussing this subject, gentleman
remarked to the editor that according
to his recollection, in 1881 the fields
were white with blooms by the 18th
of June; but on looking the record or
that year it was found that the first
bloom was reported on June 10.
Iost farmers are content, not to
have their cotton blooming before July
T. and for that reason many have the
impression that July is an early date,
but as a matter. Of fact, 1T has been
many years since the first bloom was
reported in July. June 20 of last year
was the latest date of a bloom noted

Mr.. J. ]. Clinton Of Rock Hill No. l,
was in YOrkyile yesterday morning,
with several cotton blooms including
one which from the size Of the boil in

last Friday. He plucked it on Satur-
day morning he said. 1t had already
turned red and the boil inside was
nearly a quarter of an inch through.
Later yesterday afternoon. Mr.. j. Q.
Allison, carrier on r. f.. d. No. 2,
brought a bloom sent by Mr.. J. d. B.
Currence Of Bethel township. 1t was
a red bloom, indicating that it had
opened the day before, Sunday.
Mr.. Robert T. Howe, of No. 3, Cfo-
YER, this morning brought in a stalk Of
cotton that was two feet high. 1t con-
tained a bloom and numerous squares.

IT is reported that Mr.. d. S. Hen
derson has been urged to re-enter the
senatorial race. There is a common
impression that Henderson was run
out of the race by the entrance of eX-
Governor Hayward, and that the with
drawal of Heyward restores the for
mer status quo Mr.. Henderson, how
ever, has advised his friends that he
had already made arrangements for an
extended European trip and that he
does not care to break off these ar
rangements at this stage. AS We see
it, Mr.. Rhett will prove a stronger
candidate than Ex-Governor Hayward
would have been. and we do not be-
lieve that the situation is any more
favorable for Mr.. Henderson than it
was before. But we do believe that
the entrance of Mr.. Rhett is calculated
to add interest and enthusiasm to the
situation.
