GOVERNOR CAMPBELL ON THE
COMMERCIAL SECRETARIES.

II looks as if every statesman
must have his rag baby--an effigy
stuffed with his own vain imagin-
ings-to hold up and pummel be
fore audiences that they may be con-
WINGED of his oen puissance and
purity. That which Governor Camp
bell has made for himself he calls
the Commercial Secretaries--or ra-
Their, he did until his progressive
temper led him into naming 1t the
Criminal Secretaries Association.
Doubtless that characterization OF
this organization at New Braunfels
evoked a laugh. but We fancy the
emotion which it made in the breasts
of most people who have read what
he said is rather one of Illumination
| Such language would hardly dignity
the office of governor even if ii had
the merit of truth. Being devoid OF
! truth as it is. the least that can be
said of it is that it is ineXcusable. II
! Governor Campbell really thinks the
Commercial Secretaries are band
| of criminals, the better day to i'm
press his conviction upon the peo-
| pie would have been 10 specify some
! of the crimes they are alleged to
| have committed Epithets prove
nothing. unless it is that the charge
which they are used to support is IL
! belous.
Governor Campbell says the last
Legislature, although it moved with
extreme reluctance, did all he sought
to have it do, except for its failure
to reform our court procedure. II
that is true. il is difficult to see
where there is provocation for such
guage The man who triumphs over
Iopposition has more 10 boast of than
the one who succeeds in unopposed
projects. If the legislature so nearly
, fulfilled Governor Campbelfs re-
| ouirements. about the only sin the
! Commercial Secretaries could have
committed was to subject his policies
to the test of criticism. That can he
an offense only on the assumption
that those policies We're the product
Of inspired wisdom, which credits
Governor Campbell with a nearer ap-
proach to infallibilty than most peo-
pie will concede to him.
OF course the Commercial Secre-
taries need no defense before inte(li-
gent people Without agreeing to all
| they advocate, the News knows that
most Of them are quite as patriotic
in their purpose as Governor Camp
/ bell is. The organization is made up
of citizens, and that entities them to
a hearing by the peoples servants.
! And they are citizens of substance,
standing and enterprise whose well
fare is linked with that Of the state
and that entities their opinions to re-
spect Not the wisest of our states
men is infallible. Criticism and OPP
position make the crucible in which
the dross is separated from the pure
metal and the Commercial Secretar
les, in subiecting policies to criticism
perform a service as beneficient as
it is patriotic. 1t has got so that
Governor Campbell rarely opens his
mouth without denouncing the Com
mercial Secretaries. and yet the ut
most SHINING that he specifically i'm
putes to them is that they opposed
some of the measures which he ad
.vocated If that merits his abuse
then Governor Campbell is the per
sonification of perfect wisdom ant

lmbsciles With Memories.

4 At Earlswood asylum, England, they
have records of imbeciles who could
not only repeat accurately page or
more Of any book which had been read
years before even though 1t was a. book
they did not understand in the least,
but also of an insane person who
could repeat backward what. ne mad
just read.
Another curious case is that of an
imbecile who, in the first place, never
failed to go to church, and who on
reaching home could repeat the sermon
word by word, saying: Here the min
lister coughed; here he stopped TO blow
his nose" and so on.
In another case an imbecile knew
the Bible so perfectly that if you ask
ed him where such and such verse
was to be found he could tell without
hesitation and repeat the chapter.
All these instances are well anthem
ticated and others equally amazing and
true could be added. And just as there
is one sense which is sometimes Won
derfully acute in persons of weak in
tellect, so. in the case of blind people,
the sense of smell or hearing is often
very keen.
One of the most remarkable eases on
record was that of julia, Brace. deaf
and blind mute, who could distinguish
brothers and sisters by smell, and who
recognized anybody she had met before
by the same means.-Philadelp In
Quirer.

Admissions of a Doctor.

Many men of the medical profession
have been gradually drawing nearer
to the people and dispensing with some
of their antique ideas in regard to the
ethics of the profession, for number
of years now, but it is not often that
a leading member Of the profession
will admit that the newspapers of the
land are a powerful force in regulating
the spread of disease.
DIR. Petit, president of the Illinois
State Medical association, in a recent
address made this statement: More
has been done for the anti-consump-
ton crusade through the cooperation
of the press, than could have been
accomplished in fifty years by the
unaided efforts Of health boards and
private practitioners" These are
significant words when they come
from a man of the standing in the
profession that he must have to be
elected president of an association
such as the one named.
DR.. Petit also says: Common sense
in these days of the all powerful pop
ular newspaper cannot but insist on
thorough restudy of the ethics of adj
vertising. There is evidence that the
progressive men of the medical pro-
fession are clearing their minds of
prejudice and cant, and that the rela-
tons between the public and the ply
sicians are undergoing a significant
change. "-Bristol Press.

brings out the most lively applause of
anything on the bill. The Three of Us

What One Woman Did.

Ten years ago Miss Martha Berry
established her industrial school for
the mountain boys or Georgia. She
began by giving 100 acres of land
which had been given to her by her
father. and erecting a ten-room build
ing where she and a friend taught
five boys. Now the Berry school has
$50 pupils, Is teachers, 1900 acres of
land, three dormitories and recita-
tion hall. The boys till the land and
they helped erect the buildings. The
only charge so far as the pupils are
concerned is for the food they eat. If
they cannot pay for that Miss Berry
helps them out, and she raises the
money to meet the other expenses of
the stitution.=Hartford Courant.

The tremendous success of the Bio
graph feature pictures as displayed at
the Breed theater is at no time more
apparent than in the big picture Was
Justice Served? which is the headliner
of the first part of the week. In this
problem picture is shown what might
result from circumstantial evidence,
and the various conflicting incidents
only serve to make the already mixed
affairs more complicated and the result
is a thrilling and interesting story that
is filed with heart interest, the mingled
pathos and enthusiasm adding to the
rest of the excellent features.

soprano, sang to packed house. the
patrons turning out in generous num-
bers to hear this little artist, who, al

making him great favorite with the
audience, who insisted upon three and

in the spotlight is I've Taken Quite a

song being When Pm Away from You,
both being a great hit.

Not at the Naval Academy.

A curious Misrepresentation exists in
regard to the inquiry. 1t is assumed
in many quarters that the principals
and witnesses of the affair belonged to
the. line Of the navy and were, con-
nected with the Naval academy. There
is no truth in such assumptions. No
one of the participants was graduate
of Annapolis. and even in the most.
remote manner none of them was as
ISOLATED with the Naval academy. All
of these officers were appointees from
civic life and were receiving an ele-
mentary military training at the mar

cation located at Annapolis.-N. Y.
