Austin Reveille: 1t seems hardly fair
that a Republican Senate should try to
prevent the Democratic Administration
from making a change in the officers OF
this Government. For twenty-four years
the Republicans held full sway and they
removed all Democrats and kept them
removed. Now that the other side is on
top it is BETTING that they should return
tae bouncing and put only Democrats on
guard. The old Jaeksonian principle OF
ITO the victor belongs the spoils is the
true slogan Of politics. The term patriot.
ism is well nigh obsolete and men 60 into
politics for the spoils there are in it. A
few may banker for glory but the spoils
actuate the majority. and once they get a
chance they expect TO get whatever of
reward of office there may be to be had.
How many would figure and plan and
bulldoze and hoodwink and bamboozle
and persuade were it not a hope Of suc-
cess and reward actuated them.

a GREAT MANY WIDOWS.

The report Of the Commissioner OF
Pensions presents some curious facts. At
the close OF the last fiscal year there
were on the rolls "2, 945 survivors OF the
war Of 1872, and 1922 widows of those
who served in that war;" In other
words, the widows outnumber the sur.
vivors six to one.
According TO the same authority the
total number of applications filed from
1871, when the law took effect for this
class OF pensioners, to 1885 was: Sur
vivors, 34,673; widows, 43, 1883. This
shows how rapidly the survivors widows
have gained on the survivors.
When it is remembered that the wal
of 1912 closed over seventy years ago,
surprise may well be excited that there
should now be more than twenty thou.
sand pensioners on the rolls, Of whom
1912 are widows. At what age did they
marry, and are soldiers widows excep-
tionally endowed with long lives! Exact
answers to these questions would furnish
interesting information, and might reduce
the number Of pensioners.
The Commissioner says that sex
tended inquiries are being prosecuted
with a view to purging the pension rolls
Of the various agencies Of the names Of
those fraudulently and illegally borne
thereon, and great success is attending
the work." This assurance is general in
terms, and, of course, does not apply TO
any special class of pensioners. But
every class should be carefully examined.

In u Chewing Gum Factory.
[Clcvcland Plnindculcr.1

n day or two ago my wayward
feet carried my body into the sub
urbs and to IL chewing-gum factory,
There got some idea of an indus
try that thrives on penny sales and
the remOrseless energy of the
American jaws. In the place l
saw balf-a-dOZen blocks of marbly
gum, or petroleum wax. Each
weighed about 100 pounds, and was
almost like pure pentelican stone,
dear to the old sculptor's eyes and
hand. And it was absolutely clean
and OdOrless. A few weeks ago
the stuff lay in one of the huge
tanks near the oil wells of Penn
sylvania, Il dirty, greenish brown
fluid, with the consistency of bad
mud and the smell of II glue-facto-
ry. Then it was crude oil, but
since that it has been in turmoil
and through "stirring times" and
chemical processes. From it had
been extracted lot of kerosene,
almost as much naptha, not IL little
benzine, plenty of tar and Il lot of
valuable but technically named
affairs that are out of reach. Any
way, the gum wax was left, and it
was it that l saw, clean rs an ideal
farmers bed-chamber, and odorless
as Il civil service refOrmer's record.
Before it became the chewing gum
of our friends, it had to he melted,
favored sweetened and "put up" i'm
fanciful array. Then the l0O-pound
block would appear in 5000 penny
cakes, and l am told that about 500
of these l0O-pound blocks are used
in Il week of the history of Column
bia, "the gem of the ocean," etc.
It's tough-the fact, not the gum.

PrOnOvlnS.
IN II Middle Georgia county, not
~ hundred years ago, several appli-
cnnts for positions as teachers of
public schools were undergoing nn
examination before the Board of
Education. One young man ap-
peared to be unusually well in
formed. He answered all sorts of
questions In geography and urith-
metic, and the members of the
Board began to think they had dis
covered II treasure. The Chairman
of the Bonrd examined the young
man in English grammar. Nouns,
articles, adjectiycs were safely
passed, and then the Chairman
asked: "What j. II prDnDun ?"
"Ncver heard of it," replied the
young man. "Ncver heard Of II
pronounce "No, | never did"
"That's strange" "can't help it; /
never heard OF Il pronoun, and /
don't believe you ever did either"
"Do you mean to tell me that you
didn't find anything about pro-
nouns in your gramnaY" "No, I
didn't find anything about pro-
nouns in my grammar" The Chair
lian took the book and examined
it. The pages relating tn pronouns
had heen torn out. "Humphw he
calculated, gazing at the young
man in - dnzed sort of way; "such
IL monumental fool as you can
never teach II public school in this
county," And yet there were fools
Just as monumental then teaching
in that very county. Here are some
incidents of Il different nature that
will serve to illustrate the qualiti-
cations of the average teacher: One
day the pupils Of Il mixed school in
IL Southwest Georgia county were
asked the question: "Who is Alex
nnder III. Stephens and where does
he live?" Out of $50 that heard the
question but one one attempted to
answer. One young man said that
he thought Alexander II. Stephens
was the Governor of Washington
City. Yet that school had for more
than ten years been presided over
by teachers regarded as among the
best in the State. In the prepara-
tory department. of a leading
Geofgin college the question was
once asked: "What is meant by the
Alabama Claimsw Not one of the
students could answer, although
several of them were grown men,
and at least five of them were
studying for the ministry. Some
time ago young man, herring the
highest testimonials from his teach
ers, applied for admission into the
junior class of Georgia college.
In the course of his preliminary
examination he was asked: "Where
is Africa?" Imagine the the col
iapsed condition of the learned
Professor who asked the question,

How to Have Good Butter.
Prairie Farmer.

Farmers and dalrymen are not entire
ly responsible for ali the bad butter to be
found in our markets. Much that would
otherwise have reached the consumer in
fair condition is ruined in the grocers'
hands by being stored in badly ventilated
cellars and other places with decayed veg
etables kerosene, etc. The indescrimi-
mating taste of the general public is also
a great hindrance to improvement in the
manufacture of butter. Some few there
are who must have really good butter,
and are willing, if need be, to pay high
price for it,; but il has been rare for an
ordinary farmer to meet with such Gus
toners as these. The general run
of the public do not know
high class from inferior butter, unless
the butter is very had. The story is well
known of the clever grocer who, when he
got in a firkin of butter, used to saw it in
half and label onehalf twenty cents and
the other twenty-five cents; customers
tasted and looked knowing, and generally
came to the couclusaion that for the
sake of five cents they had better
take the best; and five frkins
went off at twenty-five cents
pound for every one that was sold at
+ twenty NGuNSs L Nc ldtt u.s. lAtIt has DttH
such a quar- tity of inferior butter forced
on the market that people have got used
to it. The most that can be sa d is that
some is less bad than others. Few know
the delicate aroma and nutty flavor of the
best sweet cream butter. The great ma
iority of consumers are content if they
get butter devoid of strong taste or smell
hence the opining for butterine, which is
free from bad odor and has no unpleasant
taste or rather very little taste of any
kind. But the remedy lies largely in the
hands of the butter producer. In the
first place ever effort should be made to
manufacture good article, and market
it in attractive shape. Secondly. those
who can and do make good butter should
seek market where such products are
appreciated. If the local dealer pays one
price for all butter, regardless of quality
the buttermaker shout transfer his bust
ness to some dealer more nearly abreast
with the times, The 'one-price" dealer
will thus only get the inferior article and
he viii soon change his policy. When
the practice of paying for butter accord
ing to quality becomes general brit little
bad butter will be produced.
