Phoenix. Ariz.-Justus Goebel. a

Kentucky. residing in Phoenix, com.
mcnting on the affidavit made by a
woman In Richmond. Indiana. who al.
leges that Governor Goebel was killed
by Turner 1go. at the instiGation OF
the son of John Sanford. says the
story is pure fabrication. He says the
facts as set forth in the affidavit are
so at variance with the proved facts
that they cannot be considered.
He denies that the prosecution OF
any person is a political persecution.
He says that the only persons inter.
ested in the prosecution are himself
and his BROTHER. Arthur. OF Cincinnati.
and such friends as may aid them in
avenginf. the death of the governor.
They have no desire to convict an in
noCent man and thus shield the real
murderer. and for this reason they
have followed every reported clew,
each of which. II not utterly discred-

s.renuou. College Presidents.

The old ideal of a college president
IL seldom realized nowadays except in
some small and backward institution.
He was rather aged and always vener-
able. His aspect was spiritual. His
vision was fixed upon the eternal veri-
ties. He was prone to deep abstrac.
ton. He was always doctor of
divinity. He had a cloistral air and
cloistral voice, and he was at home
only when talking on philosophy,
theology and metaphysics. The hu.
manities and the classes we're his
realm and the realm of his institution.
All that has changed. declares Current
Literature. The university president
Of to-day is "a good mixer" as the
politicians say. He has the air of a
man Of affairs. He may be venerable,
but he doesn't pride himself on the
fact and he doesn't care to look SO.
He is no longer OF necessity a preach.
er. He Is not scholastic in the old
classical sense.

Perfectly Good Husband SPOILED.

Chicago.-Mrs. Franklin V. Elder,
who until yesterday was Miss Blanche
Buckley OF Louisville. loaned her hus.
band to his bachelor friends for a fare.
wen 1pper last night. When She
loaned him he was a perfectly good
husband. with beautiful mustache, n
handsome head of hair and a wedding
smile. She smilingly warned them TO
let Frank come home early. because
they start today for their new home at
Seattle. When her husband was re.
turned to her Mrs. Elder had a bad
shock.
His friends had during the course of
their farewell dinner clipped his hair
close. cut off his beautiful mustache,
painted his head red and blackened his
lace with charcoal. Friends escorted
Mr. Elder forcibly about town for exhi.
bit,on purposes. Then they returned
MIN to his bride. who. with the aid of
a scrubbing brush. started In to make
MIN presentable. while her husband
vowed murder against his friends"

Regulating the Auto.

Rural communities have exhausted
the armory OF weapons against auto
mobilists. and with varying success.
The mutual feeling aroused by the
warfare has not been favorable to the
spirit of Christian affection. 1t has
remained for Middleboro. Mass. TO
adopt the gentle measure. II is to be
hoped the result will justify the
means, and that Middleboro will be n
safe leader in the middle way between
the Scylla OF auto traps and the
Charybdis OF lightning flights OF devil
wagons" In Middleboro. says the
Troy Times. the Automobile club has
asked permission to take the matter
in hand and to meet out-of.town chauf.
feurs with red flag and card.
Halted by the flag. the chauffeur is
handed the card. which bears these
words: The selectmen OF Middleboro
are going to stop fast driving through
this town. Before resorting to several
permanent traps they have kindly
given the Middleboro Automobile club
permission to try and regulate this
traffic. Won't you personally help us
when going through by running not
faster than IL miles an hour? You
can go through the town at IL miles
an hour in five minutes; If you so fast
you cannot go in less than two and a
half minutes. VIII you not do your
part In helping to make traps unnec.

driver of the "chug chug" vehicle

A Matter OF Honor.

The-regulations introduced by Secre

to work to everybody's satisfaction.
Under the new system passengers are
put upon their honor in declaring the
nature and value OF their possessions,
while ample time is given to prepare
and sign the formal declarations to the
customs authorities. and there Is no
long delay and tiresome searching OF
personal effects upon landing. The
new system was in full force and ef-
feet when the American line steamer
New York arrived at the city after
which she is named. on Saturday.
The ship had big load OF passengers.
and there was much delight over the
changed arrangements. One passen.

others: Putting a good American

a relief 1t was to be able to come up
