THEY DENY THE PEOPLE A VOTE.
Mr. Aubrey claims the school board
is liable to get In jlai l£ they allow
the people to vote on whether <h« y
want one or two school buildings. In
our opinion this is mere pretext. We
can’t find any such nonsense In the
school law.
He claims, too, that the board are
impartial and only acting at the com-
mand of the people, when II Is reas-
onably well known that the school
building petition was gotten up by the
board and that they are actually pay-
ing men for circulating it.
In searching for pinholes to get away
from the people though, where do they
find any law giving them a right to
paynien for carrying around u peti-
tion?
We propose to stand for popular
rights and neighborhood peace. Fair-
ness never lost us friends, if < ne
leaves, two come. And every good
citizen Who will use ills Influence to-
ward shaming that school board into
giving the people a fair deal will gain
friends in the end.
Anti-Aviation society.
> Will aeroplanes frighten blrdR’ Will
j they break windows? Will they break
1 telegraph wires? Will they damage
I cathedral spires? If one wishes to
pause before answering these ques-
tions one might answer more readily
I the following: Will they encourage
j criminality by providing burglars with
: a means? Will they make interna-
| tional tariffs impossible? But, per-
haps, It is useless to ask, for the Paris
League Against Excess of Aviation
has answered already. The answer
Ib "Yes’’ in each and every case. Crops
i will suffer, birds will disappear, the
revenues will diminish, and architec-
tectural treasures will be endangered
| through the coming of the Hying ma-
: chine. Only crime will prosper. But
■ lest this should happen without a
protest the league has drafted a list
| of rules which it proposes that society
I at large should make law. Among
them it is ordained: 1. That no aero-
plane shall fly at a speed of more than
20 miles an hour. 2. That descents
on military territory or cultivated
land or on pleasure grounds shall be
prohibited. 3. That aeroplanes shall
be taxed nt a tariff of one-tenth of a
penny per square centimeter of their
surface.
What right have they to run over us
like that? What law authorizes them
to hire men to carry around those pe-
titions? What money does the law'
provide for paying the men7 Or are
they paid by private money of the
board members? Or are they paid with
money supplied by the Oklahoma ( ity
annexation crowd? Anyhow, wliat
right have they got to use any money
whatever in getting names on their
petitions?
The way they always flx it is to
compel people—that is. allow them no
alternative but to vote for or against
one building and a site.. They are
afraid of going to Jail if they permit
us to vote for two buildings, or, wheth-
er we want one or two, they say. Now
honest .Injun, do you believe that?

for the extinguishing of flame. The
method and the requisite apparatus

Nurse and Nursery Combined.
A recent visitor to Brittany de-
scribes, in the New Orleans Times-
Democrat, the two-story closed bed of
the Breton peasant, In many rases a
richly carved and ornamented hell'
loom, and always highly prized.
One day the visitor was expressing
her admiration of a certain “lit-clos,"
when madsine pulled the sliding
panels apart, and revealed the figure
of her husband sleepily rubbing his
eyes and wanting to know what was
the matter. She calmly explained to
him that the visitor wanted to see the
inside of the bed. and then explained
to the visitor that her good man had
been out fishing since dawn, and was
very tired.
The visitor begged him to close the
panels and go to sleep again, which he
immediately did, hut not before she
noticed that he was fully dressed. It
seems that the Breton peasant always
disappears into the “Ut-clos” fully
dressed, and always emerges there-
from in the same condition.
While her husband slept, madams
enlarged on the advantages of a “lit-
cIob” in bringing up a family.
"I have had six children,” she said,
“and when they were little I used to
put three In the top dory and three
in the bottom, then close the panels
and leave them with an easy mind."

Executed for Burning Coal.
Curious and little known facts about
the house tiro were mentioned by Mr.
E. H. Blake, addressing the Surveyors
Institution recently on warming and
ventilation. Fires were at one time a
great luxury, he said, and even the
right to use the Are had been be-
queathed. Thus the will of one Rich-
ard Byrchett (151G) read:
"I will yt the Bayd Nell my wyfe
shal have ye chamber she lyes In and
lyberte at ye fyer In the house; all
yese thyngs shal she have bo long -s
she ys wldo.”
Coal, continued Mr. Blake, was first
Imported into London at the end of
'the' thirteenth century, but the smoke
produced by burning it in improper-
ly constructed grates caused such a
prejudice against it that in 1306 a law
iwas passed making It n capital of-
fense to burn coal in tlio city. The
Tower records give details of a man’s
tvial and execution for the offense.—

Sprsad of the Cigarette.
Virginia cigarettes were Introduced
in 1875, and with the Invention of ma-
chinery that can turn out 180,000 a day
cigarettes became cheap and popular.
The annual consumption of cigarettes
in Great Britain now ' runs into bil-
lions, and of penny (two-cent) packets
alone (each containing five) the week-
ly output is tio.ooo.ooy.
Senators Quay and Stewart.
Here are two of the many good
stories that are absolutely true in re-
lation to Senator Quay, dead years
ago, and Senator Stewart of Nevada,
who died a few days ago. They were
unlike in nature, and therefore they
liked each other supremely.
"Quay," said Stewart one day In the
senate restaurant, "I am fond of you
because you talk so little. It gives me
the larger chance to talk too muoh.”
"I will not sin in that way again,"
said Quay, and the following day saw
his desk in the senate plied high with
volumes containing tariff enactments
and history, and the Pennsylvania*
spoke for days, in the hours open for
debate, blockading amendments to a
tariff bill in which Quay was inter-
ested, with Stewart on the other side.
Stewart was always deeply curious
in regard to methods by which Qucj
held his grasp on Pennsylvania domi-
nant politics.
’Matt," he exclaimed one day, "tell
me how you so successfully run the
politics of your state."
"By making ray opponents run,” re-
sponded the laconic, word-saring
Quay.
In 1950.
"I suppose you had hardships in
your early days, grandpop?”
"Yes; many a time I got up of n
winter morning and walked four
blockB to borrow a book from a Car-
negie library. They didn’t deliver
the books in those days."—Louisville

"Isn’t It curious," said Mr. Flicker-
ton, “how we get lost about the age
pf people, and particularly of people
whose age we might well be supposed
to know?
"We hear, for instance, of the death
pf Walkiashaw, aged 64, and we say
to ourselves: Goodness, you don’t
mean to tell me that Walkinshaw was
64? And yet we may have known him
intimately and have seen him daily
for 40 years, since he was 24; and if
anybody ought to have known his fig®
we ought.
“But as a matter of fact it is those
vg-v neople whom we do see constant-
ly whoSO ages wfi fail “? r“all7e: fot
the reason that age. so far as Its out-
ward signs are concerned, steals on
them gradually.
"If we see a man only nt Intervals
of ten or 20 years, why then the
changes in him may he so apparent
that we cannot fail to note them; but
in the man we see from day to day we
see no change at all; there 1b no sink
ing sign to make us realize that he is
growing older; ' .d so we are likely to
Sarry him forward in our minds as of \
the ago at which we first knew him ■
It Is then that he makes his first J
strong, clear impression on os; and
thpt impression wq fife likely to hold |
for many years and against many
changes.
"I know I do this commonly. 1 carry-
men forward as of the age nt which l
first knew them; they always seem so
to me. And then something happens
that brings up the question of age and
Biy friend says to me that he’s 57. and
1 say: ’What! 57?’ And really it Ib a
groat surprise to me, and 1 find it
hard to »ealize it.
"I can scarcely believe it even
though I have known him for 30 years
and when I first knew him he was 27.
He may be now but little, or he may
be greatly changed, but however that
may be 1 have never realized it any
more than I have the lapse of time,
passing day by day.
"Happily, this is true also as to our
own selves. We don't realize our own
advancing years. Even though we
look in a mirror now and then we sec
no signs of age, or none to amount to
anything. We may be gray as badgers
to other people, but our hair doesn’t
look that way to us. We may be
growing positively portly, hut over
that we smile. At heart we are still
