Button in Throa Four Years.

MASON CITY, Ia, Aug. Z-(Special)-
Suffering several years from what doctors
thought was a disease of the throat Miss
Bernice Hunt was last night seized with a
most violet cough, 1t was thought at one
time that she would choke to death. Her
sister, who was in the room with her,
rushed to her side and not knowing what
else to do in an emergency Of this kind,
gave her a hard slap in the middle Of
the back. At that very instant Miss Hunt
raised from her throat a small white but
ton and the cough instantly ceased. She
had been troubled for the last four years
and had been to the doctor experts In
throat trouble, but they were unable ~
assign any cause. About six weeks ago
her voice commenced failing and she could
hardly utter an intelligent word. Since
the button was dislodged her voice has re-
turned and she has no knowledge of when
or how the button got there.

The Finance Committee of the
Smyrna Town Council of which John
C. Stockly is chairman, has been di-
rected to employ an attorney and look
into the matter of playhouse Ii
censes. Recently Revenue Collector
Chairs visited Smyrna to collect
license from the DIR. Long Indian
Medicine Show and being unable to
collect it from him, bluffed Joseph H.
Wright, chairman of the Opera House
into doing it. Mr.. Wright being
pressed for an immediate settlement
both by Mr.. Chairs and Constable
Boyer paid the license amounting to
S1O0. so out of his own pocket.
While Council so far is regarding it
a personal matter between Mr..
Wright and Mr. Chairs, they have
nevertheless decided to look into the
matter and make Revenue Collector
Chairs show cause why he collected
the tax from the town. In doing this
they are taking the right course.
Members of the Council all regret
that Mr.. Wright took the matter in
his own hands without referring the
subject to a specially called session
of the Council. Had Mr. Wright
brought the matter in regular order
before the Town Board, the Collector
authority could have been tested as
it should have been. Now that the
money has been paid, it will be hard
er for Mr.. Wright to recover it. At
any event the Town is seeking legal
advice in the matter which will at
least bring all concerned to better
understanding.

William Michael Byrne, formerly
of Wilmington, who is now resident
of New York City, has been deliver
ing series of lectures on American
constitutional law before the students
of the Fordham Law School. In the
last of the series delivered on Thurs
day night, he said: I'm conserving
extensive rights to the States the Con-
stitution protects the ine.timable
right of local government; but
this cumbersome and expensive ma
chinery of State Government is
tremendous price to pay for home rule,
which because of the perfect unity of
our people could be obtained by
system of municipal and rural admin
istration.
F'The present system of State gov
ernment is a menace to our peace and
prosperity The danger to our pros
perity is perceptible to anybody who
will deeply study the growing COM
plexity of our interstate laws. Nat
iOnal commerce will in time be cha
ined and fettered by the solons of
some forty odd capitols. Our peace
is in no less danger When we mur-
dered the subjects of Italy in New
Orleans our Federal Government was
obliged to confess its impotence in the
Anarchy would have led
high riots in Chicago if the patriotic
and fearless Cleveland had not sire
tched Federal power to sweep aside
the inactive Governor Of Illinois; anC
even nova great war may be provoked
with Japan unless our countrymen
in California pay heed to the cautious
wisdom of President Roosevelt. The
power to declare war is taken from
the States by the Constitution, but i
leaves them with the power to pro
woke war in the administration o
their reserved powers. These insuffic
iencies in the Constitution will receiv
in time the thoughtful attention of tn
American people and will be solve
by that consummate wisdom which a
all times has lowered over the histor
of the United States

Why Working Women Do Not Marry.

Why Working Women Do Not Marry.
In an article entitled GA Sub
stitute for Matrimony' in the February
Woman's Home Companion, Anna
Steese Richardson proves conclusively
that the majority of business girls of
today do not marry because the men
they might marry do not earn as much
money as they do. Mrs. Richardson
speaks with authority-she has a
greater experience than perhaps any
other woman in America. She
concludes her article thus: ''The bus
mess woman of to-day is achieving
financial success at the sacrifice of
domestic content and maternal in
stinct. Is it worth while? ?"

In the matter of better public
schools for the State of Delaware,
Governor P nnewill in his inaugural
address came out strongly in favor of
graded country schools equal to those
of the cities and for competent and
we'll paid teachers. Most of the teach
ers are already competent, but no one
familiar with their duties and respon-
sibilities and having a knowledge OF
what they receive, will contend that
they are we'll paid.

A handsome $3.50, 900 State House
for Delaware would be a magnificent
undertaking and would help beautify
Dover, but wouldn't it be eminently
more fitting to put this $3.50, 600 in
permanent roads. The present State
House, while not so pretentious, is
adequate for all needs with the pro-
bable exception of the library. and
since the Legislature only meets bien-
nially the present quarters are as
good as can be expected. We like to
see good things and would take as
much State pride in a modern and
up-to-date capitol building as any
body, but at the present time we
would far rather see good and per
manent roads throughout the State fol-

In discussing Director L. M. Prices |
suggestion with reference to some
changes in our Public Schools, as pub
lished in the Times last week, one
citizen has made the remark What's
the use of going to this expense and
adding French and Grammar to the
curriculum when 80 per cent of the
pupils never expect to attend cOllege?'
This is poor argument. How does this
citizen know how many poor boys and
girls might avail themselves of
higher education if the expense of a
preparatory school to gain an entrance
into a college or university were out
of the way? AS it stands now, only
those whose fathers are financially
able can bear the expense of a pre-
paratOry course. Give the poor boy
a chance. French and German could
be added to the Smyrna schools ano
made optional for this matter, but
at any event encourage the academic
idea with all it's advantages and lei
us send out our pupils from oul
schools prepared at least to enter tn
smaller colleges if not the great uni
versities. We say give our boys an
girls the opportunity to continue thei
studies without the expense of preps
ratory preparation. What matter
if they avail themselves of the OF
portunity or not. The Smyrna Schoc
Board will have done its part an
done it well. 1t is not for any citize
to say how many might take up

Governor Pennewill's remarks upon
the subject of farmers and good roads
will find responsive thought among the
people, and. let us hope, responsive
action on the part of the Legislature.
He truly says that the fullest success
of the farmer is dependent upon good
roads, but also that" every one who
travels at all is interested in having
a net work of good roads in this State
connecting every village, town and
city" He thinks that money spent in
temporary roads is not wellspent, but
believes that permanent improvement
in our public roads would Immediately
increase the value of our farms to
an amount almost equal to the cost OF
such improvement. He suggests that
legislation along this line would be
both a direct and general benefit to
almost all our citizens and particular
ly so to the farmers.

CHILDREN DENIED
GOLD THEY FOUND
Boys and Girls Who Discovered
Money in Ruins Lose Case
in Court
Owner of Land Where Lodging
House Stood Awarded Coin
by Judge Trout

The boys and girls who discov cred
gold coins of the value of about $1,so0
while searching among the ruins of a
rooming house at 638 Green street, de-
stroyed in the fire. of April, 1906, were
held to be not entitled to the money in
a decision rendered by Judge Trout
yesterday. John Freitas, Lee Thomas,
Ida Thompson, c. Minore, Raymond
Vale and several others claimed the
money, which has been in the posses
sion of the chief of police since the
date of scovery-November 26, 1907.
Judge Trout finds that the owner of
the land. Marie E. Lucke, is entitled
to the money, subject to the claim of
the rightful owner, should he or she
ever establish ownership.
"The children who discovered the
money would have been entitled to it
against all the world but the owner if
it had been lost" said Judge Trout in
his decision. But the facts and the
circumstances in evidence show that
the money belonged to one of the ten
ants who occupied the building and
who left it there owing to lapse of
memory or to the peculiar stress of
circumstances.
The only tenant to claim ownership
of the money was Mrs S. Mayman.
She testified that she had no faith in
banks and boarded the money by
placing it coin by coin in ledge inside
a chimney. Neither her husband nor
her daughter knew of this, she said.
Judge Trout said he would have been
inclined to decide in her favor but for
the uncontradicted testimony of the
boys that when they discovered the
money it was stacked in piles of SINH
lar denominations and apparently in
closed within the bands of a burned
trunk Mrs. Mayman had said that her
hoard was uncounted and unstacked.
The Judge was therefore forced to the
conclusion that the real owner was
some person who has not yet come for
ward with a claims
