Mrs Charles Sanford, who is one of
the women voters, read paper on
Women Voters, as follows:
In response to request speak for the
s.Women Voters of our town, in their
relation to educational matters. l
need not discuss their right to vote on
these questions, but need rather to
urge the women of our town to serious
ly consider the use they will make of
this privilege. 1t is generally conced-
ed that women take more interest in
our schools and have more knowledge
of their needs than men. Father is
| apt to feel it is his part to provide food
and clothing for the children, mother
must in the main look after the edu-
cation and training Mother love is
strong and ambitious and will make
great sacrifice that her children may
have the best advantages for education
within reach. If women feel the need
of better schools for their children
they can help to nominate and elect
the persons best fitted as managers OF
our school affairs. Social and indus
trial conditions are completely
changed, keep changing. Our school
system should keep abreast. The best,
most effective work of the world is be-
ing done by skilled, trained workers.
This must be true in our schools. Too
often we trust the years when the
foundations of our children'S career
are being laid to unframed, unSkilled
hands. The results we cannot mea-
sure. Few of US have the time or OPP
portuniGy' to examine and study the
different methods of teaching, or are
fitted to judge as to the best. There
are those who are making this matter
their sole study. To them we must
leave the decision as to methods and
their application, as we leave the ap-
plication of the sciences of medicine

methods are radical and contrary to
old customs, but what are the reSultSi

branch to come to Mr. Booth for assist

one of New York's most prominent
newspapers, for solving series of per-
picking problems. Mr. Booth natural
ly felt elated over his success, when he
found how many noted mathemati-
clans had taken part in the contest.
Several young men are indebted to him
for assistance in procuring an educa-

claim the tramp"
subject of vagrancy were given by Jo-
| seph Forbes of New York and Living
ston Minis of Atlanta.
During the afternoon sectional meet
| ingS were held.
The evening session of the conven-
ton was devoted to the discussion of
state Supervision and Administra-
ton of Charities and Correction" The
| report of the committee upon this
branch of the work was presented by
its chairman, Prof. Frank w. Black
mar of Lawrence, Kans. The report
| in part was as follows:
IAN private charitable institutions
working under the charter of the state
should be under state supervision. If
the state gives a charter to any group
| for a specific purpose, the state should
guarantee that such institution should
work for the highest public welfare,
and not against it.
I'm closing this report the commit
tee would like to offer the following
| summary:
First. That state supervision of
charitable and penal affairs is essen
tial.
Second. That no state subsidies
should be granted to private institu-
tons
Third. That private charitable in
stitutions be under the inspection and
inoffensive regulation of the state, in
order to promote efficiency and unity
in the case of the states wards.
Fourth. That the committee recog-
nized merits in both the state board of
control and the supervisory board Of
its own peculiar advantages and
that whether one or the other
is better depends somewhat upon
the conditions of society, of govern
ment, and the status of charitable and
| penal affairs. And the committee
would emphasize the advantages of the
supervisory board of state charities in
| the perpetuation of humanitarian ideas
and practice, that are in the perpetual
ton of real charity.
Fifth. The committee would urge
the elimination of all forms of partisan
politics from charitable and penal af-
fairs and the placing of all institutions
on purely scientific basis. This meth
cd would seek the best men for the
place regardless of what state or ma
ton he comes from This would in
Croduce the merit system among all
officers and employees.
Sixth. Where the work of state su-
pervision is too great for one board,
theh committee would recommend divi-
sion of it among two or more advisory
boards, or separate agency for the
. scientific investigation and propaganda
| and in either case public accountant
appointed by the Governor for the
| special supervision Of institution ac-
counts.
A general discussion of the report
followed, participated in by Judge G.
IS. Robinson of Des Moines, Iowa;
James E. Hegg of Elizabeth, N. j.,
and others.

ing was delivered by ex-Gov. Benton

soil to afford Judgement for a thick

the birches grow some ancient spruces,
stunted and gnarled and altogether un-

Capt. Hi Fogg let the Ada Herbert
stand so long on the port tack-the

swirling around the footwalls of Fort

crotch of spruce tree.

good-naturel giant, always hungry and
aged 49, Here, you. Anse, git out thar

With a mighty and reluctant effort
Ansel arose from where he had been
roosting, doubled up like an enormous
jack-knife, on the sunny side of the
house, and numbered forward and out
on the jibboom. When he had stood
there five minutes, holding onto the

answer, mumbled as though Anse had
his mouth full of molasses candy.
Cap'n Hi held on a minute and sew

yelling from the skipper, conveying the

And there Anse stayed, digging gum
out of the crotch of the old spruce
with his jack-knife, while Cap'n Hi
fumed and fretted at the wheel. Pres

have been expected. A sudden rush Of

AS the tide ebbed the Ada Herbert,
as though wearied of carrying burdens
of bricks and kiln wood, heeled over
on her side, groaning and cracking all
through her battered and weather-worn
old frame. There was no help for her

could have moved her, and the tugs
were all away to the Kennebec. So
there the Ada Herbert gave up the

Interesting Debate Over Governor
Message-Other Matters.

Interesting Debate Over Governors
Message-Other Matters.
Tallahassee, Fla, May THE most
interesting debate of the session was
that on message. from the Governor
vetoing a joint resolution passed by a
two-thirds vote of both houses. The
tilt was between two of the ablest law
yers of Florida, Judge Raney of the
Eighth, former chief justice of the Su-
preme Court, and Mr.. Blount of the
Second.
Mr.. Blount contended that the Gov
ernor had no power or authority to
veto joint resolution a memorial or
concurrent resolution, as neither
came under the head of bills, and could
not become laws. He quoted the Con-
stitution which says that all bills be-
fore becoming laws shall be certified
to the Governor for his approval or
rejection. "A bill is a measure that
can become a law" he said, land no
one can say that a joint resolution, a
memorial or a concurrent resolution
can by any method of reasoning be-
come a law"
Judge Raney held that the Governor
had acted entirely within his consti-
tutional rights. This measure" he
said, lis a joint resolution, and I hold
can become a law. Moneys are ap-
propriated by joint resolutions. and tNe
Governor clearly has the right to veto
them" He held that the Governor is
an integral part of the Legislature.
mo bill can become law until it has
first been submitted to the executive.
This joint resolution has followed the
regular course customary in the Legis-
lature of Florida. 1t has passed both
houses, been certified to the Governor
and he. exercising the power vested
in him by the constitution, vetoed the
measure"
The president of the Senate, quoting
from the Constitution of the United
States, and other authorities, ruled that
the point of order raised by Mr.. Blount
was out of order, that the word bill is
a generic one, and embraced all joint
resolutions, memorials and concurrent
resolutions.
Mr.. Blount appealed from the decis-
ion of the president. The president was
sustained by a vote of II to 10.
Motion by Carson that consideration
Of the Governors message be deferred
to the next session. was carried.
The House has passed the bill for the
relief of representatives of Allison ]
TinsIey. This is a claim against the
state for 1,400 for loss sustained by
the burning of Mr.. Tinsley's home with
all it's contents, while being fumigated
after the yellow fever epidemic at
Gainesville in 1888. 1t was shown that
the militia of Gainesville was sent to
Fernandina by the Governor during
that year to quell riots, and that the
yellow fever was contracted by the
troops while in the discharge of duty.
There was strong opposition to the
measure and several interesting
speeches were made for and against.
When put to a final test it went
through by a vote of 36 to IS. The
beneficiary will be the widow of Tins
ley.
