The Havana Post of recent date says
With the announcement that the Office
OF the commissioners to take testimony
in Cuba, of the Spanish Treaty Claims.
will be closed on June 80, comes the
announcement that Commissioner Harry
+. Swan will remain in Cuba to look
after whatever may be required here after
that date. Mr.. Swan will be known as
the resident commissioner while the other
commissioners. Judge d. NJ. Massie and
l.. II. Thompson and other employees re-
turn to the States Judge Swan is
another of the former Charles Town
boys who have risen to honorable posi-
ton elsewhere, and we may be pardoned
for saying that he is a near re- alive of the
SPIRIT OF JEFFERSON family and graduate
of this Office. He was private secretary
to General Wood during the entire first
American occupation of Cuba, his wife
is one of the first ladies of Havana, and
he is probably now the best informed
American upon the island We con
graduate him upon his retention after all
the other judges of this commission have
been returned to the States.

On the goth day of June last, John
Fox, white boy about IS years OF age
was arrested in Berryville. Va. at the
direction of Prosecuting Attorney Geo
ID Moore. of this county, the charge
against him being that he had killed by
poison COW belonging to Mr. John A
Smith, near Kabletown. Counsel was
employed for him. and the counsel in.
formed the Jefferson county officials
that Fox would not come without reQui-
sition papers The Prosecuting Attor-
ney blamed the necessary papers from
Governor Glasscock. Of West Virginia,
and then sent them to the Governor OF
Virginia, who refused to grant The re-
q iisiiion,s He gave as his reason for It :
fu,ing TO giant tie requisition that il
WAS not customary in felony cases to
grant iequisltion merely upon war
rant and affidavits. La this Governor
Swanson was very much in error. Nj
Moore app .aled to Governor Glassco, k
Swanson. politely insisting that Prose
cutting Attorney Moore was right. and
the requistion should be awarded. and
the result is that the prisoner was landed
in Charles Town. In tie meantime
however, he hid been released from IL
and had TO be re-arrested. In this mater
we must call the attention of the Cha, ke
Courier to the fact that its statement
that the Jefferson county authorities h ad
taken no steps for the extradition of Fox
was erroneous. and that it should do the
amende honorable by correcting the
same. Mr. Moore has been thoroughly
active throughout in the matter. with the
result as above stated.

There are no lonely winter evenings
in the homes where the Youths Com
panion is a weekly visitor, and there
need be no idle hours. The variety
of the papers contents appeals to
every member of the household, and
before one issue is exhausted the next
is waiting at the p%ostOfice. During
the winter season the Companion
prints nearly a hundred complete
stories of considerable length, besides
the absorbing serials, some twenty
five articles of men and women of re-
nOwn, and about twice as many short
character and humorous sketches as
there are winter nights. Such an
article as Winter Gardening" aug-
gests al interesting occupation which
can be carried on in Alaska with
now twenty feet deep, and without
the cost of a dollar. 1t is well worth
while to read a paper so carefully
and ably edited.

gree-are the essential to success in
a public career. But no matter in what
degree a man may have these praise
worthy attributes, he will find it hard
to legislate morals, optimism, or a
sense of brotherly love into the people
of a great nation.
In the few months that he has been
in office President Taft may be said to
have restored the nations sense Of
humor. In the undercurrent of all of
his speeches, even those dealing with
the matters most vital to his admins
trative programme there has been a
constant flow of humanity and brother
hood. The people of all section re-
ceived Mr.. Tart as a friend, a higher
tribute than being welcomed as presi-
dent.
Never once, through all the moil and
toll of his 1900 miles of travel, did
he lose his keen sense of humor. In
convenience he regarded as simply a
good joke upon himself. He preached
the philosophy of sunshine and health
and optimism. He impressed the oun
try with the fact that, above being
president, he is a mana sane, kindly,
good natured man.
1t is necessary that the law of the
country should be administered, and
we'll administered. 1t is necessary that
the president should be a man of pow
er and determinations; a man who
knows the needs of the country and
who has the ability to recommend the
remedies and the courage to enforce
their application. But, with all that
the country needs the tonic of good
humor, and the lesson Of tolerance and
~brotherly love.-Washington Post.
