SHERWOOD FOR JUDGE

Public Opinion wants to take this
occasion to endorse Carl G.. Sherwood
Of the adjoining county of Clark. for
the position Of judge of the Third jud-
icial circuit, recently made vacant
through the death of Charles X. Sew
ard.
The office of Judge is one of the
most important in public life today.
It is a trust that more and more is
being looked on with a critical eve
by the general public. 1t is a position
that fitness for its duties. and that
alone, should be a governing factor in
the consideration of possible incum-
bents. 1t is proper qualification that
should be sought in filling this va
cancy.
Because of the limited salary, it is
a place which and more will be
filled by virtue of the honor it be-
slows. 1t is recognized that most of
II able judges accept the office at a
positive financial sacrifice.
Carl Sherwood is a pioneer in the
circuit, a nan of forceful character
and even temperament. He has been
a t~ireless worker in his profession
and devoted to the principles and
ideals in which he believes. More
over, he has fought the battles of
others, and has been self-sacriicing
and overly modest in making demands
for himself.
The ~governorship or a congress-
ional seat he could fill with honor. In
choosing such a man for the Judge
ship, honor will be conferred not
only upon the circuit but upon the
state; upon the man chosen and the
governor choosing him.
Public Opinion most heartily en-
dorses and recommends to Governor
Wesley our talented neighbor from
Clark County.-Watertown Public
Opinion, October 16.

LIMITS NORMAL SCHOOLS

The board of education Of the state,
and particularly A. f. Hitchcock, the
Mitchell member, have been consider
ing for a number Of years the proper
scope OF each of the state institutions.
Some specific legislation has been en-
acted by the board relating to the
Normal schools. The legislature of
1911 amended the school laws to the
end that the Normal schools might be
brought into closer touch with the
common schools of the state (Chap
ter 1856, Session Laws) providing for
the courses leading to the second,
first and state grade teachers certif-

adopted, acting in harmony with State

that the course Of study, and the char

schools conform in a more practical
way to meeting the needs of the agri-
cultural interests of the state and the
needs of the number of citizens who
can have no school training above the
Sth grade, and
Whereas the principle purpose of
establishing and maintaining the nor
NAL schools of the state, is to train
persons to instruct in the common
schools.
Therefore. be it resolved: That
the administration of the various nor

that more effective results be obtain

women for teachers in the common
schools Of the state, that more en-
nhasis be placed upon a thorough

BOYS OF KAKAAK0
LISTEN TO BEAR STORIES

One hundred boys of the Kakaako
district met at the kakaako club
house last night and listened to d
series of "bear stories" that from the
point of eloquence surpassed those
in Roosevelt's AFRICAN Game Trails.
George Thayer, who some months
ago walked across the Isthmus of Pan
anna and returned last week from a
pedestrian tour of the islands, was
the speaker and for an hour he held
the boys enthralled with hair-raisins
tales of his adventures hunting bear
and other big game in the Rockies.
The boys made no pretense at con
.cealing their interest and piled the
speaker with questions as to what
kind of food bears ate and If they ate
people and similar information indis-
PensabIe if one wishes to hunt bear.
The tales told by the veteran pedes-
trian were taken from some of his
personal experiences.
After this week, C. F. Loomis, who
is in: charge of the work at Kakaako
will close the club house until next
September, when school opens for the
year 1912-1913.

THE WORLDS TELEPHONES
SOLAR ECLIPSES

This country does more telepnor
ing than any other nation in the
world. 1t is estimated that 14,5O0,000,
600 conversations took place over the
phones of the United States in 1911.
That sum represents SIS per cent of
the worlds communications by tele-
phone. On the first of this year there
were 7,595,93S telephones in use in
this country, which means that we
had GA per cent of the total number
of the worlds phones. Thus we have
81 telephones for every 100 of our
population. Bosnia has the fewest
phones, followed by Greece and Ser
via in the order named. The German
empire, our closest competitor in this,
is credited with 1,06S,S49 telephones,
1.6 to every 100 persons, but on the
basis of population Denmark, Sweden
and Norway outrank Germany, hav-
ing 3.5, 3.4 and 2.6 phones per 100 of
population. Great Britain. on January
1st, has 64S,S32 phones. In proper
ton to its population, Los Angeles in
the United States, has more tele-
phones than any other city in the
world, "a per 100 population, while
