The Pioneer Press advocates the re-
establishment of the state board of
corrections and charities, urging it on
the ground that such board can be
better equipped to look after the penal
institutions and the inmates thereof
DISTINGUISHED men, The Pioneer Press

President Roosevelt, being wise
man, will not allow crowd of physi-
clans to examine his leg. Many of
these doctors are looking for lot of

that they are making an investigation
in order to determine whether the
patients leg is suffering from frac-
ture. If all these physicians were al
lowed to get a whack at the president

speeches that always take with the

Governor Van SAINT prior to the hold

the governor took an active part in
the congressional fights. The charge
had no foundation in fact. Governor

that he did was started by Democratic

among the Republicans.
