that the tools and other materials
used in getting out the stone could be
purchased from Mr.. Ryan at rea-
sonable cost, and at a great saving to
the county, by placing a competent
man in active charge of the work. the
fiscal court, at its recent sitting, di-
rected that this be done, and the coun-
ty have absolute control of the quar-
ry.
The contract having been closed
work will begin at the quarry as soon
as the weather will permit. The work
to be done this year in building ma
cadam roads will probably be detern-
Ined at the regular session of the
fiscal court to be held in April, when
the various appropriations will be
made for the building of roads and
bridges.

Christmas and that given to Easter.

the other.
1t is regretted by some people that
an observance such as the Easter

pagan festival. But to the broad
minded the fact appears as an EVIL

birth Of spring-the passing of the

Easter. through the happy initiative
Of the Emperor Constantine In the

the date depends upon the fact that

deal of vigor and i'm a manner highly
commendable. l have eagerly watched
the columns OF the Republican each
week for the new names added to the
list Of members from time to time. The
report last week was a total member

What I want to say is that there are
a number of boys in the Clear Run.

Bells Run neighborhoods. whose names

size as Ohio county. and having about
the same population-the corn club
membership numbers nearly eight hun

charge of the work. told me that through
the increased yield Of corn per acre.
and through premiums won from parish

the sale of this corn for seed

of dollars for themselves every year. be-
sides doing the parish a good deal Of
good in the way of increased production
Of corn.
Some Of these corn club boys are my
pupils here in the Marksville High
School. This school won last year over
one hundred dollars In parish fair and
state fair prizes by the corn club ex-
hibits Of its pupils. OF course this mon

Photographs Advance.
m the Philadelphia Inquirer.

From the Phiiddelphla inquirer.
Photography has made wonderful ad-
vances in the last generation. and nota-
bly, portraiture by means Of a camera
has risen to the dignity of an art. It
must be admitted that amateurs have
had much to do with the progress made,
because they experimental along many
lines which the professional did not. but
the latter were quick to see the merits
of new discoveries and make others.
1t used to be said that the camera did
not lie, that 1t told the truth. This is
now known to be an error in the light
of modern developments Of physics. The
camera in its early stages gave forth
some fiat representations which had un-
doubted merits but no art. The re-
cent development. especially in por-
traiture, Is due in part to mechanical
and chemical improvements. but more
than anything else to the individuality of
the artist behind the camera. Portraits
by means of a camera have astonishing
values. not only in light and shade. in
making the flesh stand out in the round.
but in portraying personality in a way
which an older generation believed i'm
possible.
We are so accustomed to good portraits
at low prices in these days that we do
not estimate them at their proper value.
What would we not give for photographs
of the great men Of our revolutionary
days. or of classic times!

BRYAN OPENS CAMPAIGN
Denounces Taft and Roose-
welt as Unworthy Of EIec-
tion to the Presidency.

DENVER, Col, September 14-William
]. Bryan tonight opened his campaign in
the west in behalf of Woodrow Wilson
and the democratic national ticket He
denounced both President Taft and Theo-
dore Roosevelt as unworthy Of election
to the presidency.
Mr.. Bryan spoke vigorously against the
third term.
1T would open a door which no man
might be able to close" he declared.
Mr.. Bryan's argument against Taft was
that he is not in harmony with the pro-
gressive spirit of the day.
"He already has been repudiated by a
majority of his own party he said, so
that he cannot hope to poll more than
third of the vote of the country, if
that large proportion"
The speaker disputed Roosevelt's right
to the leadership of the progressive
movement.
1.-The democratic party was fighting for
all the national reform measures when
Mr.. Roosevelt was opposing them," he
declared. "ROoSevelts position on the
trust question and on the third term are
dangerous to the country"

w. Perkins and the United States Steel
Corporation.
In advocating the election of Mr..
Wilson, Mr.. Bryan commended the

the reforms for which the people are

MUSEUM IN ART TEACHING.
A Tool Of the Highest Utility in .Liv-
ing Instruction.
|, Cox. in Scribner'e Magazine.

kenyon Cox, In ScrlbnerS Magazine.
In discussing the uses of the museum
in connection with the teaching of art.
the most important things to consider
are first, what we mean by 1.-The teach
ing of art" and, second, what purpose
is to be subserved by such teaching. OF
course, in the strict sense of the words,
art cannot be taught at all. but what we
ordinarily call the teaching of art may
be classed under three heads. In the
first place, we can teach about art. A
great deal Of the teaching in our schools
and colleges, a great deal that appears
in books and lectures everywhere, is,
think, rather teaching about art than
teaching art. 1t is teaching the history
of art: to some extent the theory of art.
1t is very useful kind of teaching m
{ts place. and for its own ends, but 1T is
to be clearly distinguished from the other
two kinds of teachinS-rhe teaching or, or
the assistance and encouragement in, the
appreciation of art, which is the rareSt
kind OF teaching; and the teaching of the
use of the tools Of art. which is what all
teachers of drawing or of modelling are
engaged in.
Now. il is obvious that IN this teaching
about art-this teaching of the history or
the theory of art-a museum is tool OF
the highest utility. 1t is possible, as we
know too well. to teach something OF art
history by lectures and text books, win
out the use of concrete examples. out
such teaching is pretty sure to degener-
ate into a teaching of names. or about
names. instead of a teaching about
things. 1t is little pathetic to see the
hunger for such teachinS-to note how
many people go to lectures on the his
tory of art. or read books on that his
tory, without ever realizing that they
know nothing-really nothinG-about the
things of which they are hearing or read
ing
But whatever you may learn of the his

From the Ohio State Journal.
In the good old days. when life was
simple and sincere, when people were
happier than now and didn't make SO
much money, when society was friendship
and home was love. there were two stated
and popular desserts at all parties and
particular dinner occasions, and they
were float and tarts.
That float. There was never any.
thing to compare with it before or since.

golden flood were a dream just imported
