Articles Will Be Printed in the Order Received. To the Editor Palladium: Dear Sir: Please allow me space In the columns of your paper, in which to more fullj explain a few points touched upon In your comments on the school situation. Tou speak of me as "Henri Kampe, formerly known as Henry Kamp." I wish, to say that I have adopted the rst spelling of my name, in order that the public In general, and the post office clerks in particular, may the more readily distinguish between Henry Kamp, the grocer, and Henri F. Kampe, the musician. I must confess however, in my fight for recognition by the Richmond School Board, that I have heard of so many new and surprising remarks about Kampe, I myself begin to doubt my identity, and question, "Am I really Kampe the musician, or another person?" Under the heading "Kampe's Experience," you should have said: "I , secured a position as musical Instructor in the schools of a township. I made good, and was appointed to other townships. Further success gave me the graded schools and High schools in the towns surrounding Richmond. In these town schools I have accomplished the same results as Prof. Earhart has accomplished in the city schools." Thanking you for the space in which to make these corrections, I am, Very truly yours, HENRI F. KAMPE. Why tha Teacher Wept. Every scholar was wearing his best clothes, and every face was beaming brightly. And the teacher's eyes watched grimly lest one small slip should spoil the record of her class, for It was the annual inspection, and the fierce looking man who called him self inspector was putting the pupils through their paces. "Now, boys." he called, "I want you to tell me what is a blizzard." Silence reigned. "What Is a blizzard?" demanded the ferocious one. And still silence reigned. The teacher glared at the top boy, then nodded to encourage him. and at last there came a look of pleading In her eyes. Almost she wept Slowly the top boy's hand went up. "Yes?" snapped the inspector. "Go on. Tell me what is a blizzard?" "P-please. sir." stammered the youthful encyclopedia. "It's the the inside of a hen!" London Answers.

Ban on Dogs Lifted.

The faithful house dog. the gutter pup and the farm house guardian still wear their muzzles but tomorrow, with yelps of delight, they will doff them after wearing them nearly continuously since last December. It is believed the rabies epidemic, the worst in the history of the county, has been finally stamped out and the health authorities, both in the city and the county, are to be congratulated for the excellent manner In which they handled the situation. There have been many mistaken and sentimental objections on the part of a large number of people against the series of edicts against dogs in Wayne county and Richmond, and the health officers had to take a firm stand in their campaign to protect the public and to eradicate a dangerous epidemic. That Doctors Davis and King acted wisely is borne out by the recent report of the Public Health and Marine Hospital Service which shows that rabies is on the increase throughout the country. In 1909 the Public Health and Marine-Hospital Service instituted an investigation as to the frequency of rabies in the United States during the year 1908. All possible sources of information were utilized and complete verification of the cases was attempted In every instance. A comparison with the figures obtained in 1911 would indicate that the infection is on the increase. In 1911, cases were reported from 1,381 localities as against 534 in 1908, while there were only ninety-eight deaths in 1911, notwithstanding the largely increased number of localities from which the disease was reported, as compared with 111 deaths in 1908. This is accounted for probably by the large increase in the number of institutions In which the antlrabic treatment could be obtained and by the fact that the victims availed themselves more largely of this treatment. In 1908 there were twenty-three institutions in the country where this treatment was administered; in 1911 there were at least forty-two. In addition there are a number of laboratories which supply material for inoculations to practicing physicians. The number of persons known to have taken the treatment in 1908 was about 1,500, while in 1911 it was 4,625. The figures for 1911 show that the period of incubation in nineteen out of sixty-five cases was between twenty-one and thirty days, this being the greatest number for any given incubation period. Three cases occurred over twelve months after the injury. The average incubation period of all cases excluding those over one year, was 4.25 days. The decrease in the number of deaths in 1911 as compared with 1908 amounted to nearly 12 per cent. Striking facts brought out in this report are the wider distribution of the infection, its spread on the Pacific coast, which section in 1908 seemed to be entirely free from the disease, and the decreased deathrate owing to better facilities for treatment and better distribution of the antirabic virus. According to The Journal of the American Medical Association, the situation calls for still greater efforts toward the complete eradication of this preventable disease.

Heart to Heart Talks. By EDWIN A. NYE. "WHAT'S THE USEr Why Is man born with the closed flats T Because he wants to grasp everything. And why does he die with palms outstretched? To show that he takes nothing along with him. Talmud. The quaint, suggestive saying of the Talmud is a good one for our day the day of grasping commercialism. This is the day of "money madness." There is method in this madness too. Note the cunning of the trust magnate who gathers to himself. See how, like a great spider, the railway king weaves his converging webs of transportation. Watch the grabbers of special privilege. The closed fist! Who is it Ruskin, I think pictures the money mad as lunatics grasping at the straws of their cell matting and at the motes in. the air of their dusty prisons, trying to change these into gold? Some steal from men. Some steal from earth and water and air. Some Bell their souls to the devil. How the marching chorus of the money pirates, the gruutlng, " sweaty chorus, must vex the ear of Omnipo tence. Listen to it Grab, grab, grab! Poor fools'. Yet a little while and the closed fists shall be opened by the strong hand of Death. Whose then shall these things be? The lawyers will revel In the loot of it. The heirs will quarrel over it and hate one another. Harpies will fatten ou the heaped up funds, and prodigal bands will sow the stuff broadcast. Even now lusting bauds and watchful eyes wait for the first symptoms when the hard closed fists of the lucre loving lunatics shall relax their itching palms. Poor fools! Our sententious AngloSaxon phrase puts the lesson of the Talmud In fewer but striking words. As the phrase has it "There are no pockets in shrouds." Poor fools! Soon the grabbing hands shall lose their cunning, and soon the lyinjr tongues shall cleave to the roof of the mouth. In the language of the street "What's the use?" A LIGHT IN THE WIN5GW. In the potter's field of the Coffeyville (Kan.) cemetery lies the dust of the man who wrote the popular song "There's a Light In the Window For Thee." His name was Edmund Dunbar. When Dunbar was a lad working in a factory late at night his mother always kept a light in the window for him. When he went on a long cruise as a sailor she kept the light burning, and when she died her last words were: "Tell my boy I will keep a light burning in heaven for him." Therefore the song. I should like to finish the story In accordance with the sentiment, but cannot. Dunbar had an erratic career. He spent three years In the Minnesota penitentiary for bignmy andbecame a "THIS DATE

wanderer Ion thoTace of Ihe earth, a vagabond. When he appeared at Coffeyville he applied at the city Jail for food and lodging. He died the same night, and letters found on bis person identified hi ni. He was buried in the paupers graveyard, and recently what was left of his body was taken to the home of his childhood. Crescendo diminuendo. Such was the theme of Edmund Dunbar's life strain, but as factory boy, sailor, student, minister, convict and tramp it was mostly made up of minor chords. On the stormy night of his death in a common "calaboose" did his spirit as it beat its wings on the battered edge of a worn and weary body look for and see the light in the window? Let us hope so. Dunbar was at one time a brilliant minister, an evangelist of unusual power, who stirred whole communities and always struck the sure note of human interest. But there was a bad streak somewhere in his makeup. He was convicted and sent to prison for miscellaneous marrying and afterward went to pieces morally and degenerated into a common tramp. Is genius aberration? Or is it true, as Stephenson hints in his "Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde," that each of us is a double; that all of us, genius or otherwise, have within us two distinct natures? Is man both brute and angel? And is it only the angel that is within us that sees the light in the window?

In Spita of Them. "I thought you said he had three children." "So he has." "That's queer. He always seems to hnve n lead pencil In his pocket" Detroit Free Press. Overliteral. In Sir Robert Anderson's book of reminiscences entitled "The Lighter Side of My Official Life" there is a story of a judge who was trying to get the very words of a reported conversation from a person somewhat scantily equipped with humor. The story is good enough to quote. "Witness," asked the judge, "did the prisoner say, 'I stole the horse?' " "Oh, no, my lord," the witness replied in a deprecatory tone. "Your lordship's name was never mentioned." History Repeats Itself. "That boy will be the death of me some day!" declared the head of the family. "I'm sure I don't know where he gets all his impudence ard self assurance surely not from me. He returned home from school the other day, and. entering my office, he threw his hat on the floor, selected an easy chair, put his feet on my desk, lit a cigarette, inhaled a few puffs, ;ind then, turning languidly to me, he drawled: " 'I say, dad. do you remember the time when you were expelled from school?" "I did. There was no nse denying it, for one day. In a burst of confidence. I had told him some of my escapades ns a boy and lived to regret that I had been so Indiscreet. " 'Well, said he, 'history has repeated itself.' " 'What do you mean, you young rascal?' I roared. "Oh said he easily, 'I've been cxrelled too. Astonishing, isn't It, dad. how such things will run in a family?" IN HISTORY "

DARROW IS WITNESS

In His Own Behalf at Los Angeles Trial. the (National News Association) LOS ANGELES, July 31. Ready to resume the witness stand when the session of Judge Hutton's court opened today, Clarence Darrow expected today to complete his testimony on his own behalf. Fortified by a good night's rest, the famous labor lawyer before court opened had a confident bearing. Mrs. Darrow, who yesterday occupied a seat near the counsel table, planned to attend today's Eession. Rogers and Darrow conferred before the trial opened. Rogers in his direct examination wanted to jump ahead to the more important points, but Darrow protested to his counsel that he preferred to take the story up chronologically. He said it would be easier that way and Rogers acquiesced. Coincident with the order of the court that the defense be permitted to inspect all documents in the possession of the state purporting to be written by the defendant, district attorney Fredericks turned over to the defense a fat envelope tody. Before he went on the stand Darrow perused cop ies of telegrams and letters most of which were secured by the federal authorities originally. It is expected that Darrow's cross examination will begin before the end of the day's session. How to Make St Patrick's Day Favors.
