Beneath the Governors Notice

up to him by the Legislature Gov
ernor Harmon indirectly admister.
ed the supreme court well.
deserved rebuke. He did not
strike out, as he might have done,
line 45l which transferred from the
adjutant generals department to
the supreme court the employment
Of two men to operate the elevator
in the state house annex at 1920
per year each.
This was not too small matter
for the supreme court to bubble
about, IL claimed the right to ap.
point two elevator attendants so
that Republicans could hold on un-
der Democratic administration,
The supreme courts marshal, who
is also the Librarian of the states
law library, wrote three-page
letter to Republican members of
the house to urge that this change
in the appropriation bin made by
the Republican majority of the
senate be accepted by the house.
This display of petty politics
has created such universal disgust
that the governor would have
caused general rejoicing if he had
retaliated by striking line 45l
from the appropriation bill, which
which would have stopped the ele-
vator and compelled the supreme
court judges to use the stairway
instead.
But Governor Harmon showed
himself too biga man to prostitute
the office of governor to the same
kind of petty politics, and line
45l remains in the bill. The
supreme court is permitted to pley
peanut politics to it's hearts con.
tent so far as these minor appoint
ments go. Governor Harmon loses
nothing in the estimation of the
people by the contrast.

HER PRICE.

Every woman has her price, and
she is wise who puts it above rubles.
The husband who rightly values his
wife will not cheaper her by rough
usage, or tarnish her beauty by re-
curing the domestic duties to be
heavier than she can perform We
know couple who has been married
five years, and today the husband IS
as choice of his wife as the day they
were married. This spring she went
on three weeks visit, taking their
little girl and leaving him to keep
house. He knew that she would re-
turn home worn out, with her house
to house visiting. Instead Of letting
work pile up, he hired fruit canned
away from home, and canned three
gallons of berries himself, and did
his own washing. A neighbor baked
for him and the day before his wife's
returned he ordered enough to last
three days, because he said she would
be tired.
There were no dirty dishes piled

HOME LIFE.

Every home should be the happieSt
home on earth The example OF HON
life should be pure and ennobllng. 1t
is the home that the heart is nodded
and character formed for eternity.
Take low miserable home and waite
the results which follow Children
reared in such homes. are easily led
into vice and crime The worst Grim
mails in our land have been made so
by bad home examples.
Take a refined and pure home, sur
rounded with pleasant associates and
good examples, with the ordinary con
forts of life, and you will seldom see
the children of such home going
astray.
Refined literature, sweet music,
happy associates should be the en-
vironment of every home of our
Land. Poverty need not be a bar to
such a home if the influences and ex-
amples are only pure and good. How
faithfully then should every home
strive to make that place OF abode
the richest in virture and the dearest
Of all places on earth.

PLEASANT MEMORIES.

About the only thing that we can
take with us on that journey that
lies ahead of each one is our memo
ries. And,a in SO many other things
in life, the thing that is OF such
great Importance to us is the t}ling
that is entirely beyond our control.
We may plan to have delight
full summer but disease and trouble
may pile up about us, until the world
is black with misery We may plan
to visit friend, with the brightest
hopes and anticipations and we may
meet treatment that sends us home
grieved and heartsore, with memo
ries that will always be bitterness to
US.
But there is che thing we can do.
We can resolve to give to others all
the pleasant memories that it lies in
our power to give.
And many of these things are s.
simple. I know of big six-foot man,
busy with the weeks work, who will
tell you of a sunny south room
that is the most wonderful memory
of his boyhood, because when he
went to that home he and the little
boy friend could "whittle all they
wanted to- on the hardwood floor
Such little thing, but such a pleas
ant memory.
A bunch Of flowers sent to sick
friend. A bit of poetry clipped from
weekly paper, may be; gift Of
few flower seeds, a pleasant word;
little bit of cheer here and there,
all these may have the pleasant men,
DRY that last forever.
But let the words be real, no pert
or sham compliment can ever touch
the heart. 1t is the real that we feel
and that counts. But to give pleas
ant memories to others, we must be
true and good at heart. We cannot
be selfish or vain, or deceitful with
out it's reaching the surface and
showing there no matter how much
we try to conceal it. AS ship
leaves a wake of white foam be-
hind it, SO we all leave a wake as
we pass along, but each is tinged
and colored by the heart within.

Your petitioners, resident citizens
of Rankin county, Mississippi, would
respectfully show unto your excel
ency: That John Wells charged
with numbering Joe Sanders, in the
Circuit court OF Rankin county, Miss,
about eleven CID years ago a. the
August term of said court and by
agreement sentenced to imprison-
ment in Ule penitentiary for life. That
he has served as such convict for
IL years years, and has been okedi-
ent to orders and established q good
reputation for q convict. That the
man he killed had threatened to kill
him and was a dangerous and VIC
lent character, and John Wells had
good reason to believe his life was
in deadly peril We think Wells has
been sufficiently punished under the
circumstances, and therefore pray
that he be pardoned.

CARGO or HEMP.
Came Direct From Manila and viii
: BE Manufactured Into Binder
Irvine.

The first cargo of Philippine hemp
that ever came to this port, and the
largest cargo ever received in the
United States, came in yesterday on
board the steamship st. Patrick and
was landed at Stuyvesant Docks.
In round figures there was $4,000
bales Of the hemp, or $50 carloads.
In other words, ten full train loads
of twenty-five cars each.
The cargo is consigned to the In
ternational Harvester Company,
through w. j j. Hammond & Co., of
this city, and has come by the Suez
Canal and New York direct from
Manila. In value it is estimated at
$268,OOO.
The bringing in of this hemp is
largely an experiment If the plan
proves successful it may mean the
importation of a great deal more of
the stuff through New Orleans. 1t
is to be made into bindery Irvine.
The Harvester Company has been
importing large quantities of sisal
grass, or henniquin, product of the
aloe, which is grown in Yucatan and
in many parts of eastern Mexico.
Prices have recently been greatly
raised on this product, and Philip
pine hemp is to be tried as a substi-
tute. The company still has more
than soventy-five s1iplcads Of the
sisal grass under contract and will
continue to import this through New
Orleans, hut if the Philippiner hemp
proves satisfactory the importation
of this will be continued through the
Mediterranean.

York several days to unload gen.
eral cargo consigned to Eastern
