Columbus, o., May 1.--Governor
Nash has again, postponed the an
nouncement of the selection of chief
inspector of workshops and factories
and supervisor of public printing.
Both appointments are long overdue.
Governor Nash announced some time
ago that he would name his men on
Monday, Apr. 30. When Monday
came, he said he would name them
not later than Tuesday. Tuesday has
gone now and 1t seems probable that
he will defer the announcement until
he is ready to start for San Francisco
on Saturday afternoon. He has given
hope to so many that there will be
much hard feeling no matter who is
tilialiy selccted.sf

association has drafted II set Of game
laws to be brought to the attention Of
the next Legislature.
The draft of the law not only pro-
vides for a modification of the existing
laws, but also provides for the licens-
ing Of sportsmen, which makes, how,
ever, a distinction between the resident
and nonresident sportsman. His bill
will, if passed amend section 60G1 and
6064 Il. s. The new law will make
the open season on quail, prairie
chicken and wild turkey from Novem-
Der 1 to December Is inclusive. On

bit, dove, killdeer or plover, Septem-
Der 1 to December 10 inclusive. Snipe

or 10 squirrels day. No person shall
kill quail unless they are flying.
The new scheme will prevent duck
hunting OH Tuesday and Monday with
the usual hours OH other days. Only
a common gun is to be used and
pumps" are to be barred.

Miserable Mothers.
CHILDREN ROBBED OF THEIR
eIRTHRIeHT.

The most serious thing in life is ma
ternity. The child who inherits weak
ness is handicapped for life In the strug-
gle for existence. The weak and sick1y
mother surely devotes her offspring 10
misery and misfortune. The romantic
idea of marriage Is based on love and love
alone. The scientific idea Of marriage
demands sound health as a basis Of mat
rimony. The utter helplessness Of love Is
written In a thousand experiences Of
young motherhood. The child, the
mother would die for, cries in her arms,
and she is too weak and worn to comfort
it. She can do naught but weep in
sympathy.
AS surely as the most serious thing in
life is maternity so the most necessary

The resolution invited bids from Ak

they were to specify their componsa-
tion for the drawing of plans and SUI

bids were to be ready for inspection
OH or before May 10.
"rhat resolution would be all right
if the architects were on an equal foot
ing. If you were to employ an at
torney you would consider his fitness
for the work." said Mr.. Hershey.
At this point in the proceedings, Mr..
Fillius charged that Mr.. Wanamaker
had switched" his views since the last
meeting. He claimed the Prosecutor
was governed by the county clerk.

Mr.. Grouse called attention to the
fact that Mr.. Weary had the endorse

out Ohio because of his experience and
skill in Jail building. He was opposed
he said, to employing third rate archi
tects when a first class one could be
employed.
Mr.. Fillius asked Mr.. Grouse IL he
implied that the other architects OF
Akron were incompetent or third rate
men. Mr.. Grouse replied that no sucl
lference should be placed on his re-
marks.
Mr.. Fillius replied that his opposition
to granting the contract without hav
ing competition was that he wanted tC

OF County Commissioners and the
Building Commission.
Mr.. FIius Objected to Star Chamber Session.
He Said That Prosecutor Wanamaker Had
Switched" In His Views.

Slam, bang, went the door, as it flew
open.
County Commissioner Fillius fur
nished the motive power and he put
a great deal of energy into the motion.
g'nc Board and the Building Com
mission men were about to 90 into
session Tuesday afternoon and County
Clerk Il. A. Hershey had attempted to
close the door leading into the office of
tho County Commissioners. 1t was this
move that aroused Mr.. Fillius.
81 have never taken part in Il star
chamber session, and | do not intend
to do so today. There has never been
time when | was ashamed to have
the people know of my official acts
he declared.
This was the opening act of Il ses-
sion which was marked throughout by
much display of feeling. Mr. Fillius
accused County Clerk Hershey Of lock-
ing the doors at the meeting last Fri
day and no one denied that what he
said was true. Then he claimed that
in his absence the other Commission
ers and the members of the Building
Commission had practically agreed on
Mr.. +. o. Weary as the architect for
the county Jail He said that in view
of the fact that the Board had re-
scnded a former resolution employing
firm of Cleveland architects because
it was a matter of public policy to do
SO, that it was poor policy for them
to employ home architect without
giving any other Akron men an op-
portunity to submit bids. He favored
calling H. meeting of citizens for the
purpose of having them express their
opinions relative to the matter.
A petition signed by large mum
Der of business and professional men.
asking the Board to invite all Akron
architects to enter into competition
for the work, was read to the Board
by Deputy Buckman. In the petition
Architect Henry asked to be permitted
to submit plans to the Board.
At this juncture, Mr.. Hershey said;
"That's very nice petition, but |
know of nothing as nonsensical as Il
petition. It's an easy matter to en-
ploy an attorney to get signers to al.
most anything of that kind
"We have been censured" said Com.

tion was taken In good faith. After

thing for the prospective mother is pre-
paration. For preparation is possible.
There is in general, no need for the
weakness and WEAKNESS so often associ-
ted with maternity. There is no need
for the nervous anxiety, the prolonged
birth pangs, and after enervation, so
commonly experienced by mothers.
In this day, even women understand
the training necessary for athletic ex-
ercise. They know that to successfully
sustain the strain of outdoor sports they
must prepare themselves by training.
And yet the average woman will face the
great strain of maternity without the
slightest preparation for the extraordin-
ary event before her. Nerves, muscles are
all to be submitted to an extraordinary
strain and yet there is no attempt to fit
them for the ordeal.
PROPER PREPARATION.
The fact needs to be impressed on
every woman that she can prepare for
the strain of motherhood as she can pre-
pare for any other extraordinary demand
to be made upon the vital forces. The
nature of this preparation is we'll set
forth in the following letter:

Conlnlo1le Comment.
Extracts From W. j. Brysn,s Paper.
AN INSULT TO DEMOCRATS.

AN INSULT 10 DEMOCRATS.
b, 1t is unfortunate from party stand
point that Mr.. Wells was nominated
for mayor by the democrats of St.
Louis. 1t would be a reflection on the
democrats of that city to assume that
none of them possessed the necessary
qualifications for mayor. 1t would be
an insult to the honest, intelligent and
faithful democrats of st. Louis to say
that none of them could be trusted to
give the city a good administration.
The main argument, If not the. only
one, made in favor of Mr.. Wells NOM
nation was that he was man who
could win" 1t seems, then, that he
was nominated because he was thought
available. Why available?
The Republic says that Jefferson
club leaders nearly all opposed the
nomination of Wells,' and adds that
he was nominated by business men"
Are these the same business men who
have been giving support to the re-
publican national administration? Ac-
cording to the Republics logic the
democratic party must go to the "busi-
ness men" whenever they refuse to
come to the party. If so, the situation
becomes clearer. When they refuse to
vote for democrat the remedy seems
to be to nominate a republican. If this
is good local politics, it may be ap-
piled on a larger scale. In other words,
party principles are to be ignored and
party success is to be the only thing
considered.
The Commoner insists upon its orig
inal proposition. If the situation in St.
Louis is such that democrats are justi-
fled in supporting republican, the
candidate ought not to be called a
democrat or placed in position where
he can make the party responsible for
the enforcement Of republican ideas.

WOMEN THRASH WHEAT.

-Four of Them BeatN an Equal Numbey
of Men ut Their own Work.
Yes, they certainly got through
those hundred sheaves of wheat in
mighty quick time" remarked Alvin
D. Weller, who, with three assistants,
was recently beaten in a wheat thrash
ing contest by four women. 'And,"
he added, ruefully, eff could only hire
men who would work as the women
did farming might be brought back to
the good old times when it paid to
engage in it," Mr.. Weller, who lives
near Shanesville, Pa, was at work
with his men, says the Philadelphia
Inquirer. Miss Laura Conrad, Miss
Sallie Noll, Mrs. Alvin D. Weller and
Mrs. Hannah Weidner, after watching
operations for awhile, remarked that
rapidity did not seem to be much in
evidence in their work. Mr.. Weller
said he thought they were getting on
very we'll, when one of the women
ventured the remark that they could
beat the men at their own work. The
challenge was accepted. 1t was agreed
that Farmer Weller and his assistants
should thrash hundred sheaves of
wheat and the four women an equal
number. The women began the con-
test and cleaned up their share in rec
ord-breaking time. Miss Noll and Mrs
Weller fed the thrashing machine,
while Miss Conrad and Mrs Weidner
operated the gasoline engine. Weller
and his men then took their turn at a
hundred sheaves, but the women were
easy victors. Mr.. Weller afterward
remarked that their skill in keeping
the thrashing machine just rightly
filed with wheat was remarkable.
