BY THE WAY.

Speaking of the noble efforts Of Cantonians
to relieve the sufferings of the destitute at
Canal Fulton, prominent citizens of that town
who was here this week said: Canton has
been very generous but money is not what
Fulton needs and it is a disgrace for her to ac-
cept Canton's charity, The trouble with most
of the destitute in that section is that the
heads of the households there have squandered
all they earned for drink. IfCanton will only
take the drunken husbands away from us and
put them to work so they can keep themselves
and not bother their families l will agree for
Fulton that she will support their families"

School Commissioner o. 7. Corson sends out
a circular letter to the newspapers in which he
says: Judging from the large number of in
quiries at this office, l am led to believe that
many persons in the state are of the opinion
that the Workman law, which provides for
the election of director i'm each sub.district has
been either repealed or amended. Such is not
the case The law has not been changed in
any particular. feel sure that you will con-
fer favor upon your readers. as well as upon
this Office, by setting this matter right in an
early issue your paper"

Up at Limaville they have young man
who last week found himself out of a home
out of money and out of friends. He appealed
! to farmer and wept scalding tears until he
was taken in, fed and put to work on wood
pile. In the evening the farmer gave him
sixty cents in cash. His toes were trying
hard to creep out the end of his shoes but that
was not what troubled his heart There were
other things more important in his eyes than
shoes and he hurried to the nearest store and
expended his sixty cents in gaudily decorated
bottle of loud smelling hair oil.

the authenticity of the proceedings narrated
can be substantially corroborarted Pending
investigation we will await the result.-[Beach

the conditions which surround her offspring.
As matters stand, the mother is entirely un.

in municipal, state nor national affairs has she
a voice in making any law by which
evil institutions are regulated; institu.
tions ready to entice her children into vice,

say, they are too busy to think about politics;

mother would not have sufficient time to fly to

its mother risk her own life to save that of her
baby? And yet the physical life of anyone is
of small import if the moral life goes wrong.
The ballot represents the power the mother
needs to secure the highest development of
her child"
