Just Loafed Around,

What has your husband done toward
supporting you anr your children" Judge
DeLacy asked Mrs. Brown
lie has just laid around the house inter
fering with me-" she replied, bowling her
head.
Those in the court room then turned to
look at the husband, big and strong ap-
parently. When brown was questioned about
the matter he appeared rather unconcerned
and stated that he had expected TO go to
work the day of the trial.
You have not tried to get work" COM
mented the judge. You will go to the
workhouse for thirty days. my man, and
tor every days work you do there your
wife will receive 80 cents
For failing to support his wife and five
children, Charles Burke, an elderly man of
apparent refinement, was ordertd TO be
committed to the workhouse for six months
by Judge DeLacy. Mrs. Burke testified
that she was trying to rear five children
from her husband in a long time, except in
small way, and occasionally. The Wife
worked SO hard, the testimony indicated,
that fer several weeks recently she was
confined TO the hospital.
Judge DeLacy yesterday afternoon heard
evidence against DR.. Joseph l.. Johnson of
1921 4th street northwest. an examiner in
the pension Office, who was charged with
failing to support his family. According to
the wifes testimony, they We're not living
together, because she discovered him writ
ing to another woman. She stated that she
needed help for herself and her children
and that her husband had failed TO provide
properly for her.
Dr. Johnson was found to be getting 81 900
a year as medical examiner in the pension
Office, and the court ordered him to give SO
per month to his wife.
Hes geing to leave town and won't do
that protested the wife
Then he must give $500 bond to the
court that he will carry out his promise"
the court ordered.

Federal and State Alliance.

How the federal appointees in this state
will line up is not yet determined. The
relations between federal and state politics
dovetail SO closely that the officeholders
will have in mind the question of who is to
be the senator, as well as who is to be
President, when they proceed to get busy.
The opposition to Scott just is appar-
emily superficial and not of much import,
but those responsible for it are careful to
circulate the impression that Scott would
be weak in the matter of getting federal
plums If he were reelected and there is
elected President of the anti-rea dictionary
persuasion.
In all the calculations leading up to the
committing of West Virginia to a presi-
dental candidate Senator Elkns must not
be overlooked. Personally, he may not be-
come active, or never get whre he can't
conveniently shift his position, but there
are various subchefs obligated to him who
will work faithfully under his direction
They will figure to a goodly extent in set
Ting the issues at stake.
Besides scrapping for national convention
honors there will also be decided activity
within year in putting up dependable ma
terial for the state senate, the fifteen
the legislature, which elects the senator
two years following. Senator Scott has
the advantage of the nine points of posses
sion. which gives him three years of grace,
while his opposition has no announced cam
didate on whom to center, while at the
same time no new favor is being won for
the controversial tax laws which were the
Dawson factions main and influential stock
in trade until comparatively lately.

Elements Of Popularity.

knowledge Of how Senator Scott stands at
all times endears him to large percentage
of West Virginians. They like his plain,
blunt ways His tireless industry, particu-
larly with reference to the small details
that count, commend him also That he
has grown in craftsmanship stature is con-
coded by those who were wont to comment
adversely thereon when he was first sent
to Washington. He has become popular,
especially in some of the southern counties
where the republican majorities are large
while his liberality has made him friends
generally.
But there is much being made out of his
alleged incompatiblity with the Roosevelt
temperament 1t is being industriously cir
culated that he is corporation senator"
and that progressive Roosevelt repub-
lican'' should replace him, while here and
there other efforts are being made to under
mine his position. Scott is beginning to off
set these influences by the declarations of
support for him by some party men of
prominence.

PATHETIC SIDE OF LIFE
STORIES HEARD BY JUDGE OF
JUVENILE COURT.

Many sad stories told by wives and
mothers who are striving alone to SUD-
port their children, after being abandoned
by their husbands, are heard by Judge
DeLacy In the Juvenile Court every day
when hayward husbands are arraiRned on
charge CT non-support. Seldom session
OF the court is held that does not include
Two or three cases of this character and
Judge DeLacy gives each of them careful
investigation to determine who is in fault.
anc what is best for the children
one of the pathetic cases brought before
the court recently was that Of John Brown
OF l229 Union street, against whom his wife,
BETTE Brown, appeared Friday. She told
the judge she was trying to support her
four children herself She stated that she
arose every morning shortly after :, Of clock
and went from her home a long distance TO
a downtown office building, and worked
thefe IN cleaning up until . o'ciock She
then haStened home to attend to her house

testimony showed two of the children were
committed to the Industrial Home School

Thaw Pleads Insanity.

New York, Oct. 31. Announce ment was made today that insan. ity plea is to be made in defense of Halr ry K. Thaw, whose second trial for the staying of Stanford White will begin on December ,, next.
 Martin Littleton, chief counsel for Thaw, it is said, has decided on this course. He is said to be convinced that Thaw is insane and has not adopted this course as merely theory on which to conduct a successful defense, but because he feels certain of the unsound mental condition of his client.
 Ever since he took charge of the case, it is said, MT. Littleton has given the question of Thaw's mentality careful study. He has traced the Thaw family tree and it is said that he has decided that the insanity of Thaw may have been an inheritance. In this connection it is recalled that Mrs. William Thaw, mother of the ac- cused, emphatically denied dur. ing the last trial that in the di rect line of descent there had been any trace of either epilepsy or insanity. Seven alienists tes tified, however, that Thaw's ex animation, in their opinion, was insane and had been for some years. Much testimony along this line was brought out in the trial which reached a climax when District Attorney Jerome in tears, gave his opinion that ht was trying an insane man an6 that he felt it was wrong to pro ceed with the trial under these circumstances.

Cash Soon 10 Be Available.

New York, Oct. 31.-Indica- tions that the available supply of cash would be materially increas- ed within a short time, both by imports of gold and the increase of the bank note circulation and that the movement of the cotton and grain crops would facilitate in every way possible with the result of increasing our credits abroad, were the salient fea- lures of to. days financial situa- tion. It seemed to be recogniz. ed everywhere that the acute stage of the crisis was over and
The Prescott daily news., 1907-11-01

that all that remained was to ob- tained sufficient currency to re sume currency payments upon a broad scale, and thus to restore conditions prevailing before the crisis. The engagements of gold made in New York, Chicago and elsewhere brought up the total import movement within the past week to $25.75O,OOO As the amount of gold will afford basis of credit to four times the amount or about S95, ,00O, ,OOO, it will in it. self afford much relief to the ex. isting pressure. The action of the Bank of England in raising its discount rate from l-2 to , l-2 per cent was in accordance with expectations in conservative circles. The fact that the in crease was not made to six per cent and that the English rate re- mains ] per cent below the Ger man rate, is accepted as an in6i- cation that the situation at Lon don is not considered acute.
 Interest continues to center in the movement of the cotton crop from New Orleans and other southern points, while it is so es- sential to provide bills against the imports of golds. Secretary Cor. telyou, according to Washington dispatches today, was disposed to increase deposits of public funds in Southern banks witt the stock of currency SC much needed to handle the cottOr crops, and will enable them tt await with less embarrassment than otherwise the arrival O their cotton bills in Europe an( the bringing back of the gold.
 The committee of New Orleans bankers which is in Washington has suggested that the New York banks can ease the situa tion by giving Southern bank: credit for checks on foreign bank, forwarded as soon as they receiv, telegraphic advice of the amount This will enable the Southerl banks to check against such bal ance in payment of collections and i'll making remittances to in terior banks throughout tn, country.

the situation in financial circles, and the fact that the state is pay ing out S59, ,000 on small accounts principally to officers and em- ployes, has been the chief topic of coversation since the meeting of the Board. As noted in these columns yesterday, it was shown that only $16,000 was in the state treasury to the credit of the pen etentiary, and that if the Board had desired to make the payment suggested by the banks it would not have been practicable. And it was stated also that if the pay ment had been made the greater part of this sum would have gone into the banks, and that the situ- ation would have been changed but little. As it is, with the re leasing $50, 1000 in small amounts, the greater part is put into actual circulation in this city, and that this will help the local banks wonderfully.

THE UNPRODUCTIyE FARM.

Selected from an address by Hon,
James NJ. Wilson, secretary Of agri
culture, at Syracuse, N W
The congress, half a century ago,
recognized the wisdom of providing
for the education of the farmer. Pro-
vision was made for an agricultural
and mechanical college in each state
and territory, and more recently re
search into agricultural problems has
been provided for. Thes institutions
are making as satisfactory progress
| as could have been expected, and
rank high among similar enterprises
in the world. The young farmer is
studying the sciences of agriculture
and the old farmer in many states is
being reached and interested. Facul
ties are being enlarged and strength
ened in these colleges and experiment
| stations. The stases are adding ma
terially to the # deral endowment,
with the approval and on the re quest
CT all classe of citizens.
The farm newspapers of the coun-
i try are occupying higfe positions as
educators, their stats and themes
bs ing REINFORCED from the sgricultura
colleges. The publications of the ex-
pertinent stations, dealing with The
! problems that affect their respective
localities, are read and in demard
