Wants Baby for Democrats.

In 1912 We elect a president, on
March 4, 1911, the congress goes out
of existence. If l were a mere parti
san I'd like to see the Democrats have
full power in both houses, so that
they would be forced, because of their
opposition to the Payne tariff law, to
aor upon their pretentions and enact
new tariff law, Then they'd have
that to defend rather than misrepre-
sent the present tariff law. They'd
have a baby of their own to protect
IF We're mere partisan, I'd well
come Dolliver, Bristow, La Toilette
and Clapp of Minnesota, joining hands
with Champ Clark and Company. But
that would bring sorrow, shortened
wages and misery to millions of
hearthstone. Therefore, as a man of
seN enty-four, who will soon be where
will wear either muslin or asbestos
halo, I'd rather march to defeat in
the future than to have our Populist,

Cemeteries Where Women Gossin-

Friday. the Sabbath of the. Moslems,
when all true believers of the mascu-
line gender make 81 point of going to
church, their wives, sisters and dauCh-
tiers resort to the cemeteries and wall
for the dead But all their time is not
spent i'll weeping, and sorrow is not
the only emotion they display, on these
occasions. They take with them
punches and garlands of flowers and
decorate the graves of their relatives
and pray and weep over the dead for
a time. Then when this pious duty is
performed they gather in little groups
and have good time gossiping about
the living. Thus the day of mourning
is very popular among the Moslem wo-
men. 1t gives them almost the only
opportunity they have of cultivating
the acquaintance of their neighbors.

Settling a Matrimonial Dispute.

Nine Sada Yacco. the famous Japa.
nese actress, who had been friend of
the assassinated Prince Ito from her
childhood. told the following amusing
anecdote:
"In my frequent quarrels with my
husband we sometimes asked Prince
Ito to judge between us. One day
when we had had more than usually
violent dispute at ChigaSaki the prince
came in unexpectedly, and asked
him to decide the question. But he
declined, while proposing the follow
ing solution:
Go down into the garden, both of
you, and fight it out like sumo tori

Thirteen PASS
The DENTAL EXAM.
Among the Number to Whom Licenses
Will be Issued is a Negro, Only One
of His Race Before Board.
Special TO The NetUS.


Jackson, Miss, May 2O.-Thirteen
out of twenty-eight applicants for
dental license passed the examination,
which has just closed here. Those
who passed are: J. X. Melpus, j. L..
Cooper, w, P. Edwards, o. C. AIRING
ton, c, L. Holcombe, w. H. Eubanks.
G. H. PEBBLES, J. S. Hill, S. F. Red, T.

named being a negro.
The examinations were completed
Wednesday night and the papers have
Just been graded and given out for
publication.
1t is a notable fact that more than
half the applicants failed to pass the
examination. Many of them try to
lay the blame on the members of the
board, but this is not borne out by
the facts. While the board has strin-
gent rules governing examinations, it
is as liberal as it can be, without be-
ing unfair to the public.
In many cases lack of a literary
education prevents the applicant Sc
curing a license. 1t is probably a
majority of the failures can be at
tributed to this cause alone, and is
due to the fact that the dental col
leges have no educational require
ment for a student.
AS long as the dental student is
without the necessary education to
pass the examination, his course in
dental surgery will be for naught. In
the three years of the present dental
board there has been a total of 124
applicants, a majority of whom have
failed TO pass. Some of those who
passed at this examination had neen
before the board before, while some
of those who failed TO pass have been
here for examination three times.

same difficulty to deal with in exam
lining applicants for medical licenses,
and has had for several years, but

that Judge DOllison for Edwards and
defense for their clients that it was
possible to make under unfavorable
conditions. Notwithstanding the decis-
ion of the jury Edwards and Wilson
cannot say that they were not ably
defended.
The evidence for the defense con-
sisted principally in the statements
of the prisoners themselves, Edwards
claiming that he was in Salt Lake on
the day of the robbery and sought to
prove his assertion by coupons Of
pawn tickets from loan Office where
he had borrowed money on his watch,
but Judge Shumate refused to allow
these coupons to go before the jury, de-
claring that he could find no warrant in
law for such practice.
Aside from the testimony of one or
two persons who saw the men who rob-
bed the bank and who failed to identi-
fly either Edwards or Wilson as one of
them the prisoners had to furnish their
own testimony and the fact that both
admitted to travelling under numerous
aliases and also admitted being fire.

that neither one was willing to account
for his whereabouts and his method of
making a living for the past several
years made anything but good i'm
preston in the minds of the jurors and
the positive identification of Edwards
by Drach Davis. Weidenhammer and
others and the equally positive identi-
fication of Wilson by Mrs. Pflum and

afternoon and the jury retired. 1t was
6:30 yesterday morning when the jur-
ors reported that they had agreed upon
verdict. Court officials and lawyers
were hastily summoned, the prisoners
were brought into court and the jurors
filed in and gave their verdict which
severed the last faint ray of hope for
the two men charged with this serious
offense. Both men, through their at

BROWN OF HAVARD
At ISIS TAEATER
High School Seniors Put on
College Play in Admir-
able Fashion
FRIENDS ARE DELIGHTED

That the young men and women com
prising the Senior class of the Glen
wood high school fairly surpassed them
selves last Monday evening in present
ing their class play, "Brown of Har.
vard' at the Isis theater is the YER
diet of all who were fortunate enough
to witness the performance.
When it was announced that the play
would be given there were few who
had some misgivings as to whether our
boys and girls strangers to the stage
would bring DIT the parts in a credit
able manner. But these few dOubters
We're agreeably surprised and the Post
has yet to learn of the first comment
on the play that was not highly com
plimentary.
The house was fairly well filed and
from the time the curtain went up un-
til the end of the final act there was
not kink or break to indicate that
the youngsters were anything but pro-
fessional actors. They put life and
spirit into their lines their expression
was good; their articulation almost per-
feet and their movements graceful.
Surely the teachers of the high school
and Miss Dewitt. under whose immed-
late direction the play was put on,
should feel proud of the splendid man
ner in which this catchy college play
was presented to our people.
The heavy parts of the work were
given to John Robertson as Tom Brown,
Harold Reed as Gerald Thorn, Ray Dick
son as Wilfred Kenyon, Chas Rohr as
Tubby Anderson, Mae Walter as Eve
lyn Kenyon, Ruth Swartz as Mrs. Ken
yon, Marcella Holland as Marian Thorn
and Grover Barrier as Victor Cotton,
the villain, and the splendid manner in
which each part was executed proved
