The Newspaper and Public
Records.

NcCOTQS.
Now and then there arise in
stances wherein newspapers and
well meaning public officials
have misunderstanding as to
the right of newspapers to have
access to public records. This is
true, Of course, to the failure of
public officials to realize the
right of newspapers and their
obligations as newspapers to the
public. The newspaper contracts
with its subscribers to print the
news, and to print it as accurate
ly and as reliable as possible, and
when this is not done the news
paper suffers in the estimation
of its readers and patrons.

to take their OBLIGATIONS Sc

risk Of being regarded as dis.
honest or "controlled,"
The worst thing that can be
said of a newspaper is that it
will suppress news" For q
newspaper that is deception, and
the paper that once enters upon
that course weaves a tangible
web, indeed, that will choke it
with all decent people.
This is an illustration Of WHY
newspapers at times have to in
sist upon their rights to have
access to public records. Sup

scandal, for without going to
the records, there is always
enough scandal known-and
more than decent newspapers
care to print-the officer in
charge of an office where re-
cords are filed, out of considera-
tion for friends, or for some
other equally worthy impulse
declines to allow reporters an
opportunity to get the informa-
tion desired and the reporter ac-
cepts his decision as final. The
result is an impression on the
disinterested reading public that
the case is being flushed up"
and that even the newspapers
are party TO conspiracy of sup
preston. Right then the news
papers character is gone. And

AS a purifier and builder of

clean light of publicity. ublicity
is reflected facts, and if the re-
.flector, the newspaper, is col
Iored, dirty or distorted, your
clean publicity is impossible. All
an honest newspaper does is to
print the facts as nearly accu-
rately as it is possible. And to
do so they must 20 to the re-

Music in the Schools.

1t is altogether likely that the
instructors in instrumental mu-
sic in the public schools will find
instances of talent that may be
developed into art. This is one
good reason why the pupils
should avail themselves of the
opportunity offorded them. But,
apart from that and the individ-
ual advancement that may re-
suit, the mere study will be it's
own reward. While, perhaps,
the young people in the schools
do not realize it yet, there is a
vast deal to be learned besides
the practically useful and the or
namental. Appreciation of beau
ty, of fine things, of art, of lit
erature and of music forms a
large and happy part Of the we'll
rounded man or woman.
Appreciation of these, and es-
pecially of the beauty of music,
is a thing that may be innate
in many, but it must be fostered
and encouraged, even schooled,
in all. The man who, bromidi-
cally speaking, Knows what he
likes" may like the right thing.
but he cannot like it as much
as he would if he understood it.
In other words, if he lacks ap-
probation, he will certainly fail
of the full enjoyment that he
should derive from it.
Singing has been taught, and
well taught, in the schools Of
Richmond for a considerable pc
riod and to that extent the pu-
pills have been taught music.
But-let him dispute it who VIII
singers are, as q class, less os
musicians than any Of those who
make music. Perhaps the pos
session of an unusually fine
voice tends to make it's owner
less regardful Of the value of
study, except Of the voice
placing, breathing, tone produc-
tion and the other items of the
singers equipment; perhaps the
singer, knowing that his voice
will carry" him, feels justified
in leaving all the rest of music
to his conductor, his coach OF
his accOmpanist. Whatever the
reason, the singer is too rarely
a musician.
Fortunately, in the effort to
acquire technic the student of
any instrument must absorb to
a greater or less degree, a GER
tain understanding of music it.
self. So, coming back to the
point of beginning, the study of
instrumental music by the pupils
in the public schools must of
necessity inspire them with a
wider understanding and appre-
citation of the beauties that lie
in printed scores, waiting to
"open a new heaven for those
who hear" and must to that de-
gree broaden them and fit them
for a fuller life.-Richmond

Gum Infammations
and Imaginary Colds
BY WILLIAM BRADY. M. D.

DERSONS who are subject to so-called
i Riggs disease" or chronic inhamma-
tion of the gums an dtooth sockets. gem
orally have poor health and frequently
suffer from systemic troubles, due to the
primary septic focus in or about the teeth.
1t is now pretty well known, even among
the lalty, that rheumatism" Is usually
local manifestation Of systemic poisoning
from some recognized or unrecognized sep
tic focus, such as pus pocket at the root
Of tooth or a focus of infection under
an old filling which, perhaps. has given
the patient no trouble for years, yet shows
septic state when photographed with the
X-ray.
A fairly common incident in the course
of chronic gingivtis (gum inflammation)
is this; The patient suffers n sudden chill
or chilly sensation, and Immediately jumps
to the conclusion that he or she is taking
cold" OF course that idea is wholly
imaginary IT, cold" is just about as
sensible as Is the taking cold" explana-
tion of septic blood poisoning from a
wound or in chidbed.
Accompanying the chilliness there Is apt
to be more or less nausea or vomiting,
which Is sometimes very severe. The pa
tient develops n splitting headache, high
fever and great prostration. The physi-
clan unless familiar with the underlying
condition, is temporarily at a loss to ac-
count for the attack. If the incarcerated
pus finds exit from the gum, alongside
of the affected tooth, the symptoms Will
presently disappear and the patient Will
regain her customary state of frail health.
Unfortunately there is no special tooth
ache or local soreness to call attention 10
the focus. Hence the doctor may over
look it if he is not given TO looking his
patients square in the teeth or If he does
suspect the true source of the septic flood
the patient is pretty sure to scout the
idea, for she has had those bad teeth SO
many, many years.
Anyway, that is the picture of a septic
flood, 1t has been called a "heayy cold,'

cold or boiled? l find It impossible to sat

COUNTY
 POLITICS WARM

B. D. Taylor, who owns large in terests in Perry county, is here to spend a few days with his family, MT Taylor states that politics is un- usually warm in Perry county, and
 as result of the recent primary cleo tion two sets of candidates are claim ing to be the Democratic county nom- Iinees. The county is split over the county seat question, one faction rep Iresenting Bigelow and the other Per Iryville, and both claim to have elected their ticket. The question as to which get of nominees has won the Demo- 'cratic nomination will probably be de- cided by the State Democratic Gen. ltral Committee. The county seat question on the face of the returns was won by Bigelow in the special election and the county court made an order locating the seat at that
 place. The matter was appealed to the circuit court, however, and is set for hearing in that court today. It will doubtless be appealed to the su-
 preme court, MT. Taylor says
