"rnsrs 1. Nothing Like a orout.o

Josiah Grout, late governor OF Yer
mont, posed as farmers candidate
and as a man likely to look after the
agricultural interests and give us an
economical administration. In many
localities farmers fairly fell over each
other in getting to the caucuses to reg
lister for farmer for governor. indie
pendent, unsubsidized newspapers told
them better but it was talking to the
winds, They cried he's farmer and
we'll vote for him, Besides he has
brother in Congress who has waded in
oleomargarine up to his eyes that we
might get big price for our butter
In fact some Of them really thought
that oleomargarine Grout and Josiah
were one aud the same. Well, they
succeeded, by the aid Of unprincipled
politicians, and what has been the re-
suit? The only boon granted 1.-THE far
mers, and all the rest OF us, has been
the privilege of paying additional taxes.
Not for generation has the governors
expense account been so large by more
than one-half as that OF Josiah Glout.
He took it upon himself to go upon
three junkets with numerous retineu,
and charge the expense to the state
without shadow of authority in law.
These were the trip to Nash,
vile to attend the southern exposition,
the junket to Washington to see Nc
Kinley inaugurated and to New York
to assist in dedicating the Grant tomb.

County Supt. OF schools E. B. Nc
Keever gave an example of exceed
ingly bad judgment before the teach.
ers Of the county institute yesterday
morning. which, while occasioning
considerable comment and not a
few expressions Of disgust, would
not have had the effect it did
but for what came after. TIE
Argus kew Of the incident
soon after it happened. but fear
irX that any adverse comment
it might mako on the county supes-
intendent at this time might be con-
strued as Of q political tendency
and this despite the manner in which
the superintendent has industriously
worked the wires during the past
~eek-is withheld reference. The
sequence to the incident, however,
justifies mention Of it. Prof. Byron
n. King, proprietor of Kings
school Of 0rstory at Pittsburg,
who came to Rocs Leland to lecture
In Moline last night, dropped in en-
the institute ia the morning. He
was quickly recognized AID asked to
make an address TO the destitute, but
before introducing him County Supt.
McKesver asked Prof. King if he
used tobacco. TIE latter gave a
prompt affirmative answer, where
upon the county superintendent said
it WAS not desirable that he address
the teachers then. 1t so happened
last night, however, that the county
superintendent was present at MIR.
Kings lecture in Moline, as we're
many Of the teachers, and
the latter were much surprised that
their superintendent should desire
to attend an address from one he
would not permit his teachers to
hear. The lecturer made q delicate
a.lusion to the affair of the morning,
and it was attended by round after
round Of applause, much to the dis
comfiture OF the county superintend-
eDt. The teachers are Indignant
over the act Of their superintendent
whose narscwness considered 10 all
the more ridiculous when it is known
that during the week he entertained at
his home one Of the instructors who
enjoys the fragrant Havana as we'll
as any one.
