Keen Sill

An old tradition is that silence is
golden, and the beauty specialists OF
to day confirm 1t. 1t has been noted
that women who work, whether for
their living or for some other cause,
retain their youthful appearance
longer than those who have nothing
in particular to do. Why this differ
ence? The beauty specialist have de-
cided it is all q matter of talk. The
woman of leisure acquires lines and
wrinkles by her constant chatter.
She never gives her face a rest, and
ruthlessly rules out of her life every
thing that would necessitate or con-
duce silence. She never reads and at
public ntertaiumentsn nothing can in
duce her to silence. She talks be-
tween the scenes of plays and num-
bers of concerts, and even during
these things. She talks when she
walks and when she shops and when
she makes calls. In fact from the
time she rises until the time she, re-
tires she is hardly ever silent. Her
poor facial muscles never have a
rest. Rochester Union.

The Cotton Scandal

The cotton scandal investig ation
promises many interesting develop
ments, and will undoubtedly rival, il
not surpass, in sensational revela-
tions the postofice investigation. 1t
is unfortunate that these scandals
should arise, but they cannot always
be helped; the poor human flesh is
weak and too often yields to tempta'
ton.
Such circumstances as those which
surround a great government de-
partment conspire to keep the secret
ofwrong doing hid for a long time,
but when the guilt is discovered it
should not be condoned for fear of
throwing discredit upon the depart
ment in which it cropped out.
EVERYBODY recognizes that the chief
of a departmentlike Secretary Wilson
or postmaster General Payne (de-
ceased) cannot follow in detail the
actions OF all their subordinates.
Most often information of wrong
doing has to be brought in the shape
of rumor which usually ripens into
belief and then an investigation be-
gins.
Ifreports can be relied upon it ap-
pears that Secretary Wilson tried to
hush up the cotton scandal by sus-
pending Holmes at his own request
anil dismissing him after getting the
opinion of District Attorney Beach
on the incomplete evidence that on
the testimony a prosecution would
not lie against Holmes, and further
more insisting that there was moth
ing more to be done. If Secretary Viii
son did this in the hope of preventing
his department from falling into dis
credit he committed a fatal blunder.
He jumped into the mire from which
he would have escaped.
Howbeit, we have a President no
other than Theodore Roosevelt who
has reversed the policy of his friend
and Cabinet officer and ordered an
investigation that will 60 to the bot
tom. And if evidence exists of Grim
inal guilt we can be assured that
Holmes and whoever else is impli-
Gated with him will receive the same
harsh punishment meted out to
Beavers and Machen.

The Case OF Caleb Powers

The case of Caleb Powers, of Ken
lucky, charged with completely in
the murder of William Goebel, few
years ago, now figures in the United
State Courts. Ithas been impossible
to secure fair trial for the accused
in the State Courts. Partisanship in
Kentucky demands victim by way
of atonement for the assassination,
and Powers as prominent Republi-
can has been selected as the victim.
Taylor, the former Governor, would
have been preferred but he keeps out
of the jurisdiction of the Kentucky
courts. The disposition of partisan
ship in that State is to hang Powers
first and then discuss the question of
his guilt or innocence. He has al
ready undergone three so called trials,
but the verdict in two of them have
been set aside by the highest tribunal
of the state.
Now with Ex-Governor Black OF
New York and Ex-Governor Yates OF
Illinois as volunteer counsel, Mr..
Powers has asked for the transfer OF
his case to the Federal Court in Ken
lucky, on the ground that he is de-
MED the equal protection of the laws
as administered by the State authori-
ties; that the juries before whom he
has been tried have been packed with
men determined upon his death.
There is the further ground that he
was pardoned by Governor Taylor
when the latter was the legal Execu-
tive of the State, the Kentucky law
authorizing the Governor to pardon
one accused Of crime, before his trial.
But Powers, wishing an acquital and
not a pardon, offered to waive all
his rights under the pardon if the
prosecution would allow him to be
tried outside of the district of Judge
Cantrill, bitter partisan. The offer
was refused and the case now goes
to the Federal Courts.
Federal Judge Cochran after con-
sidering the arguments Of ex-Govern
ors Bldck and Yates, assumed juris-
6iction of the case. The State OF
Kentucky has appealed from this de-
cision to the Supreme Court of the
United States, and pendingits dispos-
al of the case Powers will remain in
the custody of the State authorities.

But the Supreme Court of the State,

However, the Legislature passed sew
eral measures tending to restrict the
Standard in the handling of the Kan
sas product, and it may be that these
will pass the scrutiny of the highest

Of these the killed, permanently dis.

In many localities there are lodges OF

have been addicted to drink, but by
the strong and healthy influence that
is thus thrown around them are en-
able to withstand the temptations
that would otherwise overcome
them. Next month the Good Tenn
