A GOOD OBJECT LESSON.

In the Criminal Court in Pitts
burg last week the Judge fined a
woman $500 for assaulting school
teacher and using a whip on him in
the presence of the whole school.
The woman Mrs. Christine Field
house claimed the teacher had not
treated her adopted son, Homer,
properly and she procured cow
hide whip and went to the Swissvale
High Sceool, suburb of Pit.sburg,
and attacked Prof. Reardon S. Cot
ton, former student of the Univer-
sity at Morgantown. The teacher
had her arrested and tried and the
Judge came near sending her to
Jail but the woman cried and plead
so herd that the Judge RENTED the
Jail sentence and gave her heavy
fine and allowed her two weeks In
which to pay it. This will be
good object lesson to other angry
parents who want to whip the teach.
er for thrashing their offspring who
generally deserves all they get.
However we do not have much
respect for a man who allows a
woman to whip him and then calls
on the law to even up with her.
Whenever a woman so ia. forgets
herself as to go out fighting the men,
she should be treated exactly as a
man IN the same circumstances and
handled roughly. We would not
give cent tor a man who does not
try to take his own part and prompt.
ly resist an assault, without regard
to age, sex orpreyious condition of
servitude.

DON'T PRACTICE II.

The first issue of the consolidated
Parkersburg Dispatch News was
sent out January a. 1t says II will
"strive to be a first. class news
paper, will be Republicahfn politics
and represent no faction in the
party, il such there may be-" This
is good platform, il the editor will
continue to occupy it-Tournal.
1t is such "good platform" that
not in the memory OF mankind has
the Journal ever pretended to prac-
tice the "good platform" of the
Dispatch-News. The Journal since
its first issue has been an organ
which has made 1t a specially to
denounce Republicans who would
dare TO do their own thinking and
refuse to acknowledge the suprem-
acy of the Ring in all things politi-
cal. 1t was just such brutal assaults
upon honorable Republicans by the
- b""' w VIC NiilB anu tue vi dCDlne
that created the insurgents and es-
tablished such Republican papers
as the Dispatch-News. At first the
insurgents were treated as a Joke by
the orgaization, and the boast was
loudly proclaimed that the insur-
gents would be made to cry for
quarters and ask to be taken back
into the fold. But il has been dem
onstrated that it is the Ring and the
Machine that is begging the insur-
gent Republicans to not destroy
the grip which the Office gang has
upon the party.
No wonder the Journal hopes
that the Dispatch-News will adhere
to such good platform" and not
expose the dirty work OF the Ma
chine. But will the Journal realize
its hopes1

MRS. CASSIE l.. CHADWICK
Received Mt the Columbus Penitepti.
AIRY and VIII be Put 10 Wash.
Ing if Strong Enough
Cassie Is Madame
De We're.

COLUMBUS, Ono, Jan. Is.-Mrs.
Cassie l.. Chadwick arrived at the
penitentary today from Cleveland
to begin sentence of 10 years for
conspiracy to wreck the Citizens
National Bank at Oberlin, Ohio.
Inc woman was taken through the
baggage room under the waiting
room in the Union Station and
hastily placed in carriage in the
driveway and hurried to prison.
len policemen were at the station
to keep the crowd back. Three
other policemen escorted the
woman to carriage. Detectives
In plain clothes were present also.
Mrs. Chadwick was in charge of u.
s. Marshal Chandler.
No special preparations were
made in the womans' department of
the prison for the reception of Mrs.
Chadwick. She will be compelled
to sleep on cot in the corridor of
the prison as the womans' depart
ment is filed and every bed occu-
pied. The prison officials are firm
IN the belief that Mrs. Chadwick is
Madame De We're, for after she had
filed her name with the clerk the
following entry was made IN the
book at the prison.
"Mrs. Cassie l.. Chadwick, alias
Madame DE Vere-ten years-con-
spring to wreck national bank
Cuyahoga county--received Ian.
IL, 1900, expires Jan. IL, 1910
good time--November, 1914"
The prison officials are skcptical
as to the illness of Mrs. Chadwick.
They say that she will be treated as
any other prisoner IN the female de.
par'ment. They think the reports
'ha' she mas heart trouble are
groundless and after an examina-
tion, If it found that she is able,
she will be put to washing or other
heavy work. IL not she will be
placed in the sewing department.
An ex.woman clerk in the secre-
tary's office Of the peniteptiary
identified Mrs. Chadwick some time
after she arrived at the prison as
Madame De We're. This woman,
who will not allow her name to be
used, was brought to the prison and
after taking good look at Mrs.
Chadwick, unhesitatingly pro-
nounced her the same woman who
had served term in the peniten-
tiary from Lucas county beginning
in 1901, for forgery under the name
of Madame De We're. Mrs. Chad
wick, after the Identification, neither
admitted or denied that she was
Madame De We're.

GREAT EDUCATOR DEAD.

CHICAGO, lLL,. Jan. u.--William
Rainey Harper, President of the
University of Chicago since Its in
eeption in 1901, regarded by many
as the foremost Hebrew scholar in
America and equally renowned as
an educator and business man, died
yesterday of cancer of the intes-
tines at his home on the University
campus. Although his death was
known to be inevitable within a
comparative short time, the end of
his life, due 10 physical exhaustion,
came suddenly. lie was 40 years
of age.
Three years ago DIR. Harper un-
derwent an operation for appendi-
citis.
Cancerous symptoms followed re-
covery from this operation, and on
February ga, 1905 an operation
was decided on to determine the
cause of severe abdominal pains.
DIR. McBurney of New York came
to Chicago for the operation. 1t
was discovered that DR.. Harper was
suffering from cancer at the head
OF the large intestines and that an
operation To remove it would be
fatal. The surgeons decided that
the only hope of DR.. Harper lay in
medical measures. He left the
hospital, knowing that his disease
could not be cured, and that his
death must ensue in short time.
With characteristic bravery and
fidelity the doomed man returned
to his work and spent the closing
months of his life in the service of
the great institution which was so
largely the child of his genius.
West Virginia argus. [volume] (Kingwood, W. Va.) 1877-1946, 1906-01-18

is that the excitement has reached
ii 1t has not passed, its climax. DR..
Morris, the husband of the lady
who was elected from the White
House, has been dazzled by the
lime light like a number of we'll
meaning people have been before
him, and he has placed both him
self and the President in a position
where it is unlikely the case will be
reopened. Several things stand out
very prominently in the case. First
the President knew nothing of the
incident till it was all over, and no
one would accuse him of willingly
injuring or inconveniencing any
woman. Then it is quite plain that
assistant Secretary Barnes, did not
display his customomary tact in the
way he handled the case. Also il
is plain that Representative Hull,
the brother of the lady, did not dis.
play large amount of brotherly af-
fection in the case. And that is
the particular story that is now go
ing round. 1t is intimated that the
White House secretaries were warn
ed in advance that Mrs. Morris was
a dangerous woman, and were told
to be On their guard when she called.
This is said TO be the secret of the
promptitude with with which she
was hustled off the premises. OF
course the whole incident is regret
able. But in no country in
the world is the executive head of
the nation so easy of access as in
the United States. Congress has
failed to enact legislation for the
protection of the President mainly
on account of the objections of
some Southern Senators. The en-
tire country demanded such pro-
lection when the Mckinley horror
was afresh In the mind, and the
Secretaries in the Executive anti
chamber have hard time and a
serious responsibility in protecting
the President from cranks, lunatics
and bores or worse.

ELKiNs AND TIL. MACHINE.

ihere IN some curious politics
now being played in West Virginia.
The willy Dawson machine would
have il appear that Senator Elkins'
bosship chiefly is IN danger, when il
is the machine itself that is mainly
in jeopardy, the Senator being affec-
ted only SO far as he may stand by
and for the state machine, which
the people are determined shall be
overthrown together with its in.
iquitous system Of tax laws.
Senator Elkins, standing between
the machine and the insurgents, is
doing his best to avoid a break with
either--a Characteristic attitude of
the Senator. His fate, however,
will depend on himself and whether
or not he has the nerve to- adopt the
heroic remedy required to save the
the Republican party from utter de.
feat at the polls, namely; to Join
with the other Republican leaders
and repudiate the Dawson machine
and its tax iniquity ere it is brought
to an issue with the Democracy be.
fore the people next fall.
In other words, with Dawson
Jonah thrown overheard there may
be some hope for the Republican
ship and Elkins. But with the
Jonah aboard burnt brandy won't
save the &. o. p. and Mr.. Elkins
will be succeeded by Democrat.
Meanwhile the smooth VIM. NJ.
.. Dawson, taking time by the
forelock, is carefully setting up the
pins for the machine. Only ma
chine men on guard, is his motto.
Truly, it behooves Uncle Stephen
to get busy.
This reminds us of little episode
that took place at Fairmont after
the adjournment of the Bar Associ-
alton banquet, and we betray no
confidence in relating IL. Gov.
Dawson was somewhat piqued be-
cause he was not put on the program
for toast. Meeting Scott Meri-
deth and Emmett Showalter he ac.
cused them of the oversight.
They denied the soft impeachment
and the Governor retorted. al be-
lieve you both belong TO the Insur.
gents. / want to say to you that l
have my Machine so perfect that
can cut an Insurgents head off and
not lose over two drops OF blood.
With the improvements | am max
ing on my Machine / hope to be
able later on to cut off the head of
an Insurgent and not lose drop of
blood"
So we have Gov. Dawson's own
words for it that he is dong every
thing he can to make his Machine
perfection SO he can clip off the
political head of any man who dares
to oppose his Machine.
Is not this a pretty state Of affairs

home Of the brave1" Bill Dawson

to him or lose their head
1t would appear that Car Dawson

Or is 1t a case of going stark mad at
the thoughts of the obstruction Of
his own Machine at the coming
election1
