STATE REPUBLICAN TICKET
SOME REASONS,

Lieutenant Governor Merwin and Judge
Morris have both spoken generously of
each other since their nomination. In so
doing they have shown good nature and
good judgment. Their example is good
one for their supporters to follow. At the
same time there are excellent reasons why
General Merwin should be elected rather
than Judge Morris. He has had much ex-
perience in public affairs and has been wise
and successful in dealing with them. His
experience in his present Office has given
him knowledge of State matters that will
he- -usafnl and valnallA To him, when ne Is
governor. Such knowledge cannot be
easily and quickly acquired, and it is very
much needed by agovernor. 1t often saves
him from making mistakes. This knowledge
will come handy during the progress of
legislation next winter, when men and
measures are pressing for consideration
and decision. 1t will not be denied that
General Merwin has much the advantage
of Judge Morris in his acquaintance with
public men and public matters.
In addition to this General Merwin is a
business man, practical and capable of
prompt and decisive action. He is near
the people and earned their admiration
and respect by his honorable and success
full business life, his character as neigh
Dor and friend and his unselfish and
definite interest in all that pertains to the
welfare of his city and State. Probably
there is not man in the State who has SC
many friends and SO few enemies. The
voting will show his extensive and deserved
DoDularity

ments concerning polygamy have been.
Within a short time newspaper intended
| for the children and youth of Utah, and
said to be edited by George 9. Cannon,
contained an article headed "By the edi-
tor" in which the teaching of the church
was defended, and the Mormons who had
been convicted and imprisoned for polyg
amy were held up to honor as martyrs to
their religion. The commission ask for
more power and more stringent legislation
to- enable them to force this abomination
at least out of sight. This power should
be given them.
A-writer in the Topeka Western School
Journal says that the children of the New
York City public schools pronounce "mur-
mur," ''muymuy'; ''bird," ''boid"; "mur-
der, 'smuyder," and "park, " ''pawk." 1t
is told of Boston man that he spoke of
something as "the soss of all evil" and of
New York educator that he referred to
''the Imperial State of New-Yolk." In
Philadelphia we are told that the school
children pronounce Hno," snow; ''go,"
''gow"; "road, stroud"; ''boat," ''bout";
'tday," 'dahee''; Grain" "raheen"; etc. In
Washington school boy will speak of
''the conan of Fourteenth and Fl sts,"
quite as a matter of course. And when
you get used to the Mississippi Valley, you
will hear such words as :'calf" and
''laugh" pronounced with fatness only
equalled by the fiatness of the valley
itself.
It is hard to do good sometimes, even
when you really mean to. The industrial
school which the late Isaac Williamson of
Philadelphia left so much money to estab-
lish seems to hang fire, and there is now
an unpleasant controversy as to what shall
be its character in the board of trustees
A few months ago Mr.. John Baird, the
president OF the board, felt obliged to re-
sign, largely because he feared that the
school, if organized as proposed, would not
| take such a form as he could approve.
Colonel Charles II. Banes, studious man
| with broad views on eduction, was then
elected member of the board. After a
thorough study of the situation he an
| nounced that Mr. Williamson's ideas would
be most perfectly carried out by establish
ing preparatory manual training. school
for boys, from which they would pass to a
thorough instruction in such basic trades
as would fit them to take up any special
trade they might prefer. The majority of
the board, however, opposed this idea and
were in favor of teaching the simpler trades
outright. And as a consequence of this
Colonel Banes has resigned.

A LUCKY MAN.

Strange as it may seem to very young
men, there are some mean girls in this
world 1t is great shock to realize this
truth, but it has to be done. One of the
tribe has popped up in Minneapolis. A
Vermont man became engaged to her, and
it was arranged that she should come to
Vermont and that the marriage should
take place there. He sent her 1919 to pur-
chase her trousseau and 500 to pay her
fare. She got the troussea,l, but not the
ticket She married another man in
Minnesota.
The Tilted lover sued for the recovery of
the money he had advanced her. She of
fered to send him the clothes, but the offer
was declined with thanks. Ills lawyer ad
mitted that no express conditions were at
tached to the gifts when they were made
But he claimed that the money was adj
vanccd with the understanding and on the
implied condition that it was TO be used
for specific purpose. 1t was therefore
not an absolute but conditional gift,
which the giver had right to recall when
the condition was not complied with. The
court took this view OF the law. After
pointing out that an absolute gift is. ir-
revocable it says: She received both sums
for "a specific purpose and when she broke
the engagement the law raised a promise
on her part to refund them. The plaintiff
did not give them to her ''as an adventurer'
to help him win her favor, but in consider.
alton of the engagement and to enable hei
to perform it. When she broke it he wa,
entitled to have his money refunded. We
hold that the gifts were not absolute, but
conditional, and that when the condition
failed right of action accrued to tn,
plaintiff to recover the money.
The Vermont man is lucky. He has los
the girl and recovered his money.

the tunnel into which it had plunged, and
be began again.
''That tunnel always reminds me of the

The seedy man saw his embarrassment and
deftly followed up his advantage.

planting yonder knows exactly how much
seed to plant to the acres''
The professor shook himself together in
dazed sort of way and replied mechani-

corn, eight quarts; celery seed, eight Ounc-

fifty pounds: potatoes, eight bushels; to-

The professor, however, did not lnger to
learn how much rye to plant TO the acre,
but murmuring something about having to
see friend in the rear car, started for the
door.
The seedy man looked after him wild
bIassy glitter in his eye, ,Hnu then was ABOUT
to resume his novel once more, when the
Chicago drummer spoke TO him in an awe

THEATRICAL NOTES.

The production of Nero" at Niblo's, in
New York city, was the most successful in
the whole history of that famous play
house. 1t ran for three months, and its
splendid scenery, trained lions and re-
markable spectacular effects drew nightly
crowds.
Marie Wainwright will produce "Amy
Robsart' next season, which was one Of
the plays that made Adelaide Nelson
famous.
Fred Bryton owns more dogs than any
other member of the profession. His pack
consists of just fifty-two, ranging from a
blooded blond Danish hound of gigantic
proportion to diminutive King Charles,
small enough TO go in his overcoat pocket.
And now they say that the reports cabled
from Paris that Bernhardts Cleopatra"
is a success are false, and that in reality
it is a failure, dire, dismal and complete.
