HASTEN THE DAY.

If Vic Murdoch is made speaker of
the house, the circulation of the Con-
gressional Record will no doubt be
pushed, and it's advertising patronage,
which has been allowed to go to pieces
of late years, will pick up. There is
also chance for Improvement in the
handling of the news features in the
Record, which MURDOCH being an ex-
perienced newspaper man, will attend
to. The reporters for the Record,
while they are accurate as to detail,
seem to US to be somewhat lacking in
good, vital literary style. There is also
a tendency on the part of the publica-
ton to run to statistics and long stor-
les which sometimes fail to hold the
attention of the reader. But Murdoch
knows the newspaper game, and will

PURLrCITY-

Publicity is the greatest means of
holding officials in check. There
should be some law compelling all Off
Gals to let the people know what they
are doing.
1t is all right for the police to hold
back the name of a man they are go
ing to arrest, when publicity might
hurt their chances of catching him,
but when a policeman holds out any
thing else it shows that something is
wrong.
Many police officials do not let the
people know about held-ups and rob-
berries because it hurts the reputation
of the police department.
Many other officials keep quiet about
their actions because they fear that
they may be criticised.
This is a safe theory to work on:
If any official refuses to let the voters
know what he is doing on any ques-
ton there is something crooked going
on.-Hutchinson Gazette.

THE EXPLODED PHENoMs.


Now is the time when the pride of
the corner lot leaves his home town
and joins the league team" Many a
youngster who has been able to knock
the ball clear over into Hiram Spiven's
pasture and who has been in the habit
of taking down "bee liners with his
bare hand, has been given a glorious
send off by his fellow citizens who pre-
dict great things from the boy.
In few weeks most of these lads
will be coming home. They will have
all kinds of excuses. The manager
was Jealous, or the lads arm wasn't
working right, or the paint on the
centerfield fence bothered him or
something else prevented him from
setting fire to the lot at the training
camp.
After all the explanations are in the
"phenoms" will settle down and go
back to work and continue to do great
things when the big games come off
at the county fair.-Hutchinson Ga

KANSAS COMAENT
A QUEER MOVE.

The action of President Gomez of
the new Cuban Republic, in making
immediate and sweeping changes in
the force of government employees
on his assumption of the presidency,
winch from all reports, has created
disorder in the transaction of gov
eminent business and a dissatisfac-
IIon among a large portion of the
CuDail people, would seem to indi-
cate elther lack of executive judg-
ment or the intent of fomenting
uouple 1or the purpose of melting
announcer revolution. The Cuban people
are an excitable class easily aroused
to acts of violence against established
power ana ready to resent by force of
arms any attempt to encroach on what
they DeneVe to be their liberties, or
lnIiict wrongs, either real or imagi-
native, and it is therefore a. matter of
mystery why, at this time, just on the
eve OF new attempt at self-govern-
ment, that the man who has been
elected to exercise the functions of ex-
ecutlVe for the whole people should so
arbitrarily cause an affront to a large
contingent of the Cuban people, which
must necessarily cause a state of feel
ing that is inimica1 to peaceful con-
dltlonS. WHICH at this time is of great
importance in the establishment of a
STAPLE government. 1t really looks
as though some Interior motive was
pehlnd the act some incentive to create
a trouble that would call for another
intervention on the part of this gov
eminent and a last farewell to any
hopes of Cuban ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

DEATH OF MRS. mAcKLEY.

Mrs. Lucinda Mackley, widow of
the late Solomon Macklcy, who
lived on her farm In the Little Vine
neighborhood, dropped dead last
Saturday while out in the horse lot.
Heart disease is supposed to have
been the cause of her death. She
was feeling as well as usual that
morning, ard went out in the horse
lot to help her son put the bed on Il
wagon, and as her son started to
drive of Il young mule that was
hitched to the wagon gave jump,
which startled Mrs. Macklcy, and
she dropped dead.
Several weeks ago while going
about the honse she fell uncon-
scious, and as there was nobody at
home with her at the time she lay
on the floor several hours before re-
covering consciousness. She was
about sixty years old and leaves
four daughters and two sons to
mourn her death.

THEY CELEBRATE
THEIR GOLDEN WEDDING.

Mr.. and Mrs. John Moran of Lib
ertyville celebrated their golden
wedding anniversary on Wednesday
March 24th, by giving a dinner to a
! company of their friends and rela-
tives. In planning the affair Grand
pan remarked several times that he
wanted to see all of his children
and grandchildren present on that
day. Fortune favored him in his
wish, for the children were all there
and all of the grandchildren except
one little granddaughter, who was
i'll.
II was most enjoyable occasion
to young and old. The table was
beautifully decorated In appropriate
colors, the yellow jonquils coming
out especially for the day, 1t seemed.
There was huge bouquet of them
in the center, flanked by pile of
golden oranges on one one side and
the BRIDES cake in yellow icing on
the other.
After the dinner, which was served
at noon, the time was spent in social
converse until late in the afternoon,
and it was evident that the events
of fifty years ago were as prominent
in the memory of both bride and
groom as were those of to-day. IL
is beautiful sight to see two old
people who have travelled hand in
hand down vista of fifty years,
and who are sweethcarts still as in
the days of long ago, even more so,
for time only adds to the quality Of
the old-time love.
As the neighbors and children left
them late In the afternoon to return
to their respective homes, one was
reminded of the beautiful descrip-
tion of married life in that lovely
poem of Longfellow, "Thc Hang
ing Of the Crane" where the two
are left alone together as they be-
gan life fifty years ago. 1t must bo
hard for them to give up their child
rem one by one to make other homes,
but such is life; and IL the sterling
characters of "Father'and" Mother
Moran are handed down to their
children's children, they will have
lived, and not in vain.

PRESBYTERIAN QUARTERLY
MEETING NEXT SUNDAY

Next Sunday is quarterly meeting
OF the Pennington Presbyterian
Church and communion services
will he held. The pastor, Rev. c.
f.. Ilickok, has been holding evan
gclical services each night this
week, preparatory to the observance
of this memorial feast.
The services ut the Presbyterian
Church last Sunday evening were
out of the ordinary and very inter
esting. Mr.. q. w. Grover and Mr..
q. w. Blceck, who were delegates
to the Laymen's Missionary Con
vcnti0n of the Southern Presbytcri-
an Church, held mt Birmingham,
Ala. in February, each read lrpaper
giving his Impressions of the con-
vention, what they saw and heard
of the great work of the laymcn Is
movement I'm this direction. Their
papers were highly entertaining AS
well as instructive, and ii was well
worth while to hear them. They
were much enjoyed by the whole
congregation. The pastor also gave
an earnest talk along missionary
lines illustrated with charts which
forcibly punctuated the points
brought out by him.

HIGH SCHOOL SITE.

The securing of site for IA high
school building for the Pennington
district has received good deal of
attention and inquiry on the part of
the committee selected for that pur-
pose. The committee Is composed
Of Messrs. J. A. Lawrence, George
A. Tetley, Jake Karsch, j. i. Cayce
and H.. J. Mckinney. Several good
sites upon which options may be
secured are being considered. The
one which the committee thinks
most favorable because of its To-
cation is the old Baptist College
property, now the Pennington SAM
tarlum. 1t Is also the highest priced,
and for that reason may have to be
abandoned, but the committee is
endeavoring TO locate all the first
mortgage bonds on this property
with view Of learning whether an
option can he obtained on them at
anything like n reasonable figure.
If not, that proposition will have to
he dropped. Another site Is several
acres on Potosi street, owned by
Mr.. Thomas II. STAN, and which in
the minds Of many is almost If not
quite as desirable as the first one
named, and still another of several
acres on the same street owned by
| Hon. NJ. II. Smith. Either of these
latter two sites are To he had at sew
eral thousand dollars less than the
Sanitarium grounds and property.
The purpose of the committee is
sirablc site to be obtained to he sub
mitted to the Pennington School
Board, when special election will
be ordered To vote upon a PROPOSE
tion to bond the district for n sufh-
cient amount TO pay for the site and
erect thereon much needed high
school building. OF course the
erection of the high school building
is contingent upon whether the dis
trict votes TO bond itself for that
purpose. The need of such build
ing is imperative, and If the people
look at the question IN tue right
way the proposition will carry. The
sum necessary for the purpose will
be about 100000, and as the assessed
valuation of the property of the
district is million dollars or more,
there is no doubt that we are able
to stand that without any hardship.
The benefit to the children of the
district and the cause Of public edu-
cation would far outweigh the small
additional tax each taxpayer would
have to pay.
