Women and Money,

Did you ever think that nearly
every time a man puts his hand in
his pockets it is for women? BE
begins when he is boy by putting
his hand in his pockets to give his
mother money hardly ever his faith
er Then he gives his sisters money
never his brothers Then his hands
go in his pocket to give his sweet
heart presents and pleasures, and
when one of his love aft .irs end in
marriage, his hands are in his pock.
els all the time. They bring out
money for his wife, his daughters,
the dresemakers, the milliners, the
hired girls and the laundress.

that their brothers never give them
any money

More Pardons.
The Fairmont Times.

The Fairmont Times.
Governor Dawson has issued
another batch of political pardons
down at Hugtington and made the
mistake of attempting to assign
reasons for official intervention on
the part of the chief executive. 1t
would have been better for his repu-
tation if he had granted the par.
dons and said nothing about the
grounds on which the pardons
were based. In his statement he
enters into discussion of the
political situstion at Huntington
and then winds up with the protest
that politics had anything to do
with his granting the pardons. As
there is no otherisufRoient ground
assigned, and as he seemed to have
politics on the brain at the time he
granted-the pardons, he has laid
himself open to the charge of
granting them solely for political
reasons The Governor makes
himself about as ridiculous in his
! explanation of this matter as he
did few months ago when he
tried to explain his pardon of a
Wayne county negro DECLARING
that he did not know the politics
of the negro. 1t may be possible
he does not know the politics of
the persons whom he has been
pardoning. but one thing is certain,
if he does not he is very close
guesser. He has not missed it. in
a single case. s,

Will be Governor Three Years.

= &. 1
Many persons do not know that
Ohio. will have Democratic Gov
ernor for three, years instead of the
usual term Of two years. This
comes about because of the bien-
nial election amendment, which
was carried. This amendment pro-
vides that state and national cleo
tions s'shaIi come on the same year
and that the municipal elections
shall como on the same year end
that the municipal elections shall
be the year following. In this
wsy the confusion resulting from
the election of city and yilliege
tickets at the same election that
state official are chosen, will be
done away with. II will also mean
the changing of the terms of many
county officials. Those who were
elected for three year terms will
probably have their terms extend.
ed one year. as this will be necss.
sary to bring all the county candi
dates up for election on the ever
years. It is likely that the com
| ing Legislature will lengthen tn,
| 1terms of office of many official IL
order to meet the requirements o.
the amendment.

~ First visit to the District In

6bASQbo-
The twenty-fourth of November
Was dark and gloomt Cay,
Ny teacher and ] weLt to the Insti-
Which was twelve miles away
We were driving in a carriage,
Our horse was rather slow,
And we had to ply the whip
TO make our pony CO.
When we were half way there
Thesrain began to fall;
We kn1wit would get muddy.
And perhaps our horse might stall
We stopped at our uncle's,
And there we had to stay
Unti1it ceased raining,
Then Stanley took us on our way.
When we got to the Institute
Many teachers were assembled to-
gether;
Mr. Greene says swe,re glsd to see you,
1t is better late than never" "
When the Institute adjourned
And All. Greene had said goodbye
to all,
Afaade started OF with Homer
And [iss Adal with g charlie 3elills'
We went home with Stanley
And had jolly time;
Stanley is fine fellow.
He's a cousin of mine-
Next morning bright and early
We started on our way;
Our friends we knew were anxious,
For we were expected the previous
day.
The roads were awfully muddy,
The hills were high and steep,
And the creeks we had to ford
Were very wide and deep.
The farther on we travelled,
More tired grew old Min;
To make her pull such load up hill
Seemed almost like q sin
But who walked up the hill,
We will never, never tell;
And there are other secrets
That viii be preserved as we'll
Tho our troubles they were many,
Our pleasures they were more;
And the lessons that.we learned
Were full of wisdoin's lore.
When Institute day comes again,
We surely will go we say,
For one of the lessons we have learned
Is, where there's a will there's
way" K. NJ. b.

Power of the president.

The power ought to be vested in
the President of peremptory dis
missal from office of incompetent
and corrupt Federal judges A
case of gross inoompetency. to use
the mildest expressive term at
hand, has just been disclosed in
Federal Court at Omaha A num-
Der of rioh ranch owners had ap-
propriated and fenced in 212,000
aores of government land in direct
violation of the law. Not only
this, but government officers seek
ing to enforce the laws against uu-
lawfully fencing in public lands
had been murdered, bona fide set
tiers had been driven away after
their property was destroyed and
burned, and a reign of outlawry
existed toward those seeking to
uphold the law and exercise the
homestead and preemptIon rights
which areguaranteed to all citizens.
After years of effort and at great
expense. the government finally
hailed the criminals to court. So
plain and overwhelming. was the
evidence against them that they
plead guilty, rather than run the
risk Of trial, whereupon the court
ordered them to pay a fine of $500
and be committed to the custody
of the marshal for six hours. Gould
