THE MAGNETISM Of NOVELTY.

With the world aEog with new inventions new
diseases, new governments new aspirations new
philosophy. dilletantism and quackery, Il
is natural that there should arise two clearly de-
fined forces Of opinion. On the hand are those
who welcome each passing fad or fancy with the
eagerness Of unssted excitabty. On the other hand
are those who confound novelty and heresy. Be
tween them Is the stable body of citizens who

BOARD

board in Franklin School yesterday
afternoon. Pickets also failed 10
stage any demonstration" against
Van Schafck.
Just before the meeting yesterday
District Commissioner Louis Brown
low issued the following statement
as a warning to persons not to asi-
tate the school controversy by car
rying rumors. His statement FOL
lows:
The statement that police will
guard the school board meeting this
afternoon Is untrue. No application
for such detail has been made; no
such orders have been given. PUB
lished and spoken statements to the
contrary are untrue.
1T do not believe that the persist
ent efforts of propagandists to Gre
ate a mob spirit in connection with
the school board affairs Will succeed.
Nevertheless. similar efforts last
summer did succeed. and therefore,
I-take the liberty, as the head of
the municipal government, to call
upon all good citizens to refrain
from repeating such idle and dan
gerous gossip.
"Of course, the school board will
not be intimidated. It Is made UP
of self-respecting men and women.
OF course, Mr.. Thurston does not
desire his cause to bo supported by
threats of mob violence. sOf course,
no self-respecting citizen has any
patience with such tactics. And II
the people will only analyze tho
Ioutgivings of trouble-m making prop
agandists there Will be no trouble
The last cry of mob violence re-
suited in only the presence of seven
reporters who smoked cigarettes on
DR.. Van Schaick's front porch. Not
they, but somebody has been smok-
ing something more potent thar
cigarettes"
