The Herald-Review extends its heartiest congratulations, AUDITOR SPANG SWELLS TAX ROLLS County Auditor Spang has had his office force at work checking over the tax rolls of the county for some weeks past, and asa result of these labors lands which have never been upon the lists have been added thereto, and taxes aggregating $12,199.36 has been assessed against them. ‘The county’s share of these taxes will more than pay the cost of maintaining the office of the county auditor durmg Mr. Spang’s first term.

STATE AID FOR GOOD ROADS One of the most important prob- | lems before the people of Minnesota jis that of good roads. It and drain- age are the keys to state develop: ment, says tlie Duluth News-Tribune. | The question of good roads is as weighty in the suuth as it is herein the north. But in these northern counties roads are more difficult to build, and the state’s immense hold- ings of lands make it impossible for : the settlers, in many cases, to tax | themselves sufficiently to accomplish | What is necessary.

It will be prepared at the next session of the legislature to submit all the needed iuformation and a plan for the giving of state aid under state supervision. The legislature should vote the necessary funds, but, to ine sure this, the people will have to show not only that they will approve such action but that they insist upon it. State aid for good roads should be one of the issues in each legislative district. GEO. W. PERKINS MADE PET OF LAW George W. Perkins, partner of J Pierpont Morgan and former vice. president of the New York Life In- surance company, is under techni arrest on the charge of grand larcen fgr his share in contributing funds of his insurance company to the repub- i lican party during the last presi- dential campaign. The ordinary procedure in sucha case would be the indictment of the accused man by the grand jury. | Sometimes, when exceptional circum- | | stances exist, a magistrate issues a warraut direct, without waiting for grand jury action, as, for instance, | when the accused person is upon the pvint of fleeing from the jurisdiction of the court. In the present case the only exceptional circumstaoce which has led District Attorney Jerome to proceed by warrant seems to be that Mr. Perkins is Mr. Perkins. . Upon habeas corpus proceedings the case will first go to the supreme court and fivally to the appellate court of New York, for the determi- nation of the law point involved, which is whether such acts as Mr. Perkins’ actually constitute larceny under the provisions of the penal code. Except that he appears as an exceptionally favored defendant, Mr. Perkins will be in 00 better position to win in the Highest court under the present proceedings than he would have been had he been regularly in- dicted.

The Champion Mean Man. “Talkin’ about mean men,” said the one. wo was expected to beat the first story, “I think Sile Hatcher was about the meanest man I ever knew. He was so mean that he painted his house fresh and white every two months just because a neighbor of his that he didn’t like had weak eyes and couldn’t hardly stand the glare. But he done a meaner thing than that one time. When his wife died the pallbearers bumped a corner of the coffin against the door as they were carryin’ it out and bracked one of the panels. Well, sir, blamed if he didn’t want tnem to pay for havin’ a new panel put in!” Easy Questions for Tommy. “Think,” said the teacher who was giving the lesson on nature study, “of a little creature that wriggles about in the earth and sometimes comes to A small boy in a pinafore put up his hand joy- ously. “Well?” queried the teacher. “A worm,” said the small boy. “Yes,” said the teacher; “now think of an- other little creature that wriggles about in the earth and comes to the top through a small hole.” Up when Laces, Embroideries, Rib- the joyous hand again. “Well?” asked the teacher. . “Another worm!” shouted Tommy in triumph, POPS GOO Sd OS OGG OGS OOO OOOO GOOSS SPEAKING “UNDER THE ROSE.” Varying Versions of Origin of Famous Phrase. The phrase “under the rose” had its origin in the wars between the En- glish houses of Lancaster and York. The parties respectively swore by the red or the white rose, and these op- posite emblems’ were displayed as s of two taverns, one of which was by the side of and the other op- posite to the Parllameni House, in old Palace Yard, Westminster. Here the retainers and servants of the noble- ed to theDuke of York y VI used to meet. Here sturbances were frequent, either of defense or annoy- ance, were taken, and every trans- ion was said to be done “under the by which expression the most profound secrecy 3 implied. Ace cording to others, the term originated in the fable of Cupid giving the rose to Harpocrates, the god of silence, as a bribe to prevent him betraying the amours of Venus, and was hence adopted as the emblem of silence. The rose was for this reason frequently sculptured on the ceilings of dfinking and feasting rooms, as a warning to the guests that what was said in mo ments of conviviality should not be repeated; from which, what was in- tended to be kept secrét was said to me “under the ras.” Roses were consecrated as >> ents from the Pope. In 1526 they were placed over confessionals as the symbols of si- lence. Hence, according to some, the origin of the phrase. Superstition in China. Religious superstition asserts itself in Chinese architecture, and the unf- versal sacredness of the numerals three and nine is shown in the ar- rangement of temple doors. There is a triple gateway to each of the halls of the Imperial palace, and the same order prevails at the royal tombs, while the sacred person of the em- peror can only be approached ever by the highest officials after three times three prostrations have been given.
