It was definitely learned yesterday y didate for reelection tu the presidency
 of the Salt River Valley Water Users | association. When asked concerning the matter he said that he had reached that dctcrmInatIon as early as Sunday last, but as he had not been d candidate. he did not regard it necessary to make any announce

 His possible candidacy has been d matter of public consideration for some time When last elected. two years ago. he did not intend to run again, and so stated at the time IL is d matter of common knowledge however, that important matters with which he is more familiar perhaps than almost anyone else. are still be- fHe the association for final solution. and many members deeply concerned
 in the welfare of the association have
 urged him to again announce his can didacy. His attitude toward them
 has been merely one of thoughtful consideration He did not refuse to
 run. nor yet would he consent to. do so until he had satisfied himself even
 before the canvass that there would
 be no bitter or extended opposition. Having concluded that there did exist

WHAT HAS THE. PIG TO DO
 WITH IT?

To The Editor of The Republican, Sir:
 Will you put this in your paper for publication?
 In what way does the pig represent Ireland or the Irish people? We resent the fact that picture postals and ugly novelties are exhibited in some store windows. caricaturing St. Patrick mocking and insulting Irish woman hood. The Irish women have always been and are today representatives of the highest types of pure womanhood It is conceded to their honor that they are the fairest and purest of Christian people And to have them represent ed as wantons and dressed Outlandish ly and hugging pigs IS an insult that should be resented by all meh of re spectability.
 The Irish people were poor and ignorant when poverty and ignorance were forced upon them through wars. famines and penal codes. but their high standard of morality was never low cred. and no one. not even their bril- liant enemies. ever dared accuse them of immortality
 Rarnyard morality does not and nev- CT did belong to the Irish women Neither pig nor puppy love nor beastiality was ever known among them. and to ridicule and caricature them can never he regarded as any thing but an insult that courts resent ment.
 In past years they bore insults and mockerics with patience and Christian resignation. but it is altogether too much to expect them to bear patiently the ridicule of the twentieth century

JAP QUICK AT FIGURES.
Using an Abacus, He Beat Bank
Clerk With Adding Machine.
from the Tacoma Ledger.

Hiom Tue 1dCond lstuseI.
At a meeting of the Tacoma Chapter of
the American Institute of Bank Clerks
the other night a Japanese clerk, using a
''saroban," put it all over a Tacoma
bank clerk using a modern adding ma
chine in casting up a long column of
figures.
The japanese. with his "saroban,' did
the arithmetical stunt in thirty sec
onds, while the bank clerk, with his mod
ern adding machine. took fifty-four sec
onds to obtain a total and afterward it
was found the clerk or the modern add
ing machine had made an error, while
the Japanese with his little abacus or
'saroban" obtained the correct result the
first time. In another test the Japanese
might make an error, as did the bank
clerk However, 1T is significant that
the japanese did not err and that he OBJ
tanned a correct result far more quickly.
though he used an ancient arlthmetlcai
device.
The Japanese that won the contest in
adding was once a clerk in bank at
Osaka, Japan. He disclaims being an
expert in adding and says many japanese
are much faster on the "saroban" than
he The little old-fashioned adding ma
chine used by the Japanese is what we
call an abacus. Years ago in our public
school rooms the abacuS used to hang
on the wall. and it was sometimes used
in the study of arithmetic. 1t Is not
used much nowadays. though 1t would
appear from the speed and accuracy of
the Japanese that it might be employed
with good results.
The abacus in use in China is known
as the swan pan. The Chinese are also
rapid calculators. The abacus is very
simple device when compared with the
modern adding machine. 1t is probable
that it requires more practice and more
arithmetfcal ability to get correct results
from an abacus than are required with
the modern adding machine.
The abacus is very ancient. 1t was
used by the Egyptians and Greeks in
form similar to that now used in Japan.
China Arabia and Russia. The word is
traced through the Greek to word
meaning dust 1t is said that dust
was spread upon board and that numer-
ais were inscribed in the dust.
In early times the Greeks used such a
board and it is supposed that geometry
as well as arithmetic was taught with the
use of that kind of an abacuS. Later an
abacus was developed in which beads slid
on wire or in grooves, the beads having
a value depending upon column. This was
Japan and China. The word calculate"
is traced to a Greek word meaning peb-
be 1t is supposed that pebbles were
used in the early abacus.
The victory of the Tacoma Japanese
with his "saroban' over one of our bank
clerks with a modern adding machine is
not an exceptional instance. few
months ago. when the Japanese CONNER
cial commissioners visited the United
States a contest was held in which
Japanese came out ahead i'm calcula-
ton contest in which he used an abacus.
