Erd PARTISAN man, not particu JIIIX1ES lnrly because ho happens to have boon an adhorant of that party, but because ho has beon triod In tin place and found to be qualified both by ability and temperament for it The office is one of vast luiportanci to the people. Prop orty rights come bofore the courts for adjudication and personal liberty Is often in volved. A person whether in the oivil or criminal court can only demand, and should be ontirely sat isfied with, a fair trial before an impartial tribunal. A judge on the benoh should, in his administration of justice, know no politics, creed, sex or color. All litigants should stand on an equality before him, and their causes receive the same Impartial and candid consideration. Parties may feel safe in their rights when assured of such treatment. A non-partisan judiciary is becom ing more popular with the people, whon fitness and worthiness are recognized in an incumbent there is a growing tendency to retain his sor vices on the benoh. A near by illstration of this doctrine is shown by the fact that in Wayne county Judge Purdy, nominated by the demoorats, has received the endorse ment of the republican convention. Judge Erdraan has received his nomination without a contest. No bitter feelings have been engender ed, he has no friends who may ex pect a reward and no opponents who may anticipate punishment. He is entirely untrammeled by promises and wholly free from per sonal obligations to repay political favors. His position in the canvaB is ideal, and he should receive the unqualified support of all men, no matter what their political predileo tions, who beliove that a judge should be non partisan in his ad ministration of justioe. The act of 1903 requires county commissioners to issue their pre oepts, to make the AS TO triennial assessments ASSESS- of property, to as MEXTS sessois before the socond Monday in September, and assessors are requir ed to complete and make return of the assessments not later than Dec. 81, 1903. It may be said without foar of contradiction that assessors heretofore in this county have notoriously disregarded their oaths and recklessly disobeyed the express directions of the precepts sent them. Thoy have boon paid for work done not in aooordance with law and their solemn oat hs. What the com missioners may do now iD respect to this we do not know, but iuas louch as it may be absolutely neces sary in future to increase the gehool tax in some townships by reason of the law roquiriDg teachers to be paid not less than 'J5 a month, operative after Juno, 1904, it miyht be wise for the asnuissors of the oounty to meet in geriHral conven tion some time in the near future to diacuhs the important mutter of future Krtsustmieiiis and agree, if poti.iiiao, on, tome uniform nu ll ol which bhull be equitable throughout he county.

The springs of red blood are found in the soft core of the bones called the marrow and some say red Llood also comes from the spleen. Healthy bone marrow and healthy spleen are full of fat. 'Scott's Emulsion makes new blood by feeding the bone marrow and the spleen with the richest of all fats, the pure cod liver oil. For pale school girls and invalids and for all whose blood is thin and pale, Scott's Emulsion is a pleasant and rich blood food. It not only feeds the blood-making organs but gives them strength to do their proper work. beiid for Irrt kui).!t.

WU1UM A. KKl'MA.N. EDUCATION THAT EDUCATES. Practical Tests Better than Mere Memorizing In Schools. Educators are Krowlng fonder and and fonder of the Idea of making edu cation practical. In Brooklyn n new plan has been adopted for examina tions for graduation from high schools, and student's standing la based more largely on claBS work through the year and less on the re sult of closing tests. Each principal conducts examinations at liis own dis cretion, but the emphasis Is thrown upon practical ability Instead of on tha mere accumulation of facts. The class work will be made to turn on the power to think rather than to memor ize. The Rrnolilyn "Eagle" saya: "For Instance, In languages, the ex aminations will be designed to tost the pupils' power to read at sight and to translate Into Idiomatic English. In English literature a knowledge of the history of literature and good taste In reading will be counted rather than knowledge of any text book. In Eng lish composition the test will be the ability to make a clear synopsis of a composition, and to write clearly and accurately, while the long-despised and neglected spelling will be counted. In science the number of experiments performed and the student's skill, neatness and accuracy In performing them will hold first place, and In his tory the knowledge of the soquence of Important events and ability to trace causes to. resultB will bo tested by the examinations." Everywhere there is n reaction from the craze for bigness, and "quality," not "quantify," Is again becoming the desideratum. Nowhere Is this change more Important and more hopeful than in the field of education. In trav eling through life only such baggage Is desirable as can be utilized for the needs of the Journey.
