Ballad Early Form of Newspaper P,

oouaO CoVty TOVtU OI NSWSPaPeTs
 The ballad, or that form of it which Is associated with the broadside, was one predecessor of the newspaper as a commentator on events. It was writ ten for the people and sold to the people. Printed on poor paper ana passed from hand to hand, copies of early ballads were seldom preserved. Fortunately several men of the sev- enteenth century began to make col iections of ballads, and the copies of broadsides printed before 1700 that are now in existence are supposed to number about 10000. Soon after 1700 the printed form of the ballad was changed, the black letter" disappear ing. but the ballad continued as a chronicier of happenings and com mentator on political, military and other public events until the middle of the nineteenth century, and in the United States as well as England the topical" song of today perpetuetes the satirical function Of the ballad.

Taxes In Ancient Egypt.

Ancient Egypt paid taxes with a vengeance. The names of mora than l50 different taxes imposed On the Egyptians of the Roman period have been learned from the papyri. Besides the poll tax, they include taxes on exports and imports. on animals, on business transactions, such as sales and mortgages, imposts for the bene-
 fit of the government and it's ofi- cials, from the emperor downward. who took his baksheesh in the form of national offering, at his accession. When one further considers the other burdens to which property was liable, the imposition of public duties and the discharges of costly municipal the wonder is that there was anything left to tax.

Killed by Own Invention.

One man gave up his life in the search for a new explosive few years ago. He was scientist named Wartenberger. He had spent years of his life in the midst of awful perils in search of a new explosive. He found one at last which the expert ments of the United States govern. ment experts satisfied them was even more powerful than dynamite. The government offered Wartenberger $1, 100000 for his invention, providing he could perfect a method of firing the fearful stuff by means of electricity instead of fuse. While he was en gagged in these experiment an explo sion occurred which killed the urfol tunate inventor.

THE APPOINTMENT OF
UNIVERSITY REGENTS.

4 constitutional amendment provid.
'ng for the appointment of university
'egents will probably be presented at
he next session of the legislature,
iays the Tonopah Times. The exact
provisions of this amendment are not
known. but il is stated that il will en-
power the members of the supreme
court to appoint for life seven regents,
who shall not be removed except for
cause. While this radical change may
not entirely remedy the defects which
inh2rc in the present system, II Is a
step in the right direction AS long as
candidates for this position are nomi-
mated in party caucus to be voted upon
at the general election, it is inevitable
that the university shall be drawn into
the realm of partisan politics. The
state university should be in touch
with state politics only in the civic
sense and not in its contentious aspect.
Educational machinery should not be
ubverted TO serve the purpose OF the
political machine.

choice OF incumbents for this office to
the people has been demonstrated
many times. The lack of knowledge
