THEY ARE AFTER POWERS (?)

Word comes to us from sources that we deem
thoroughly reliable that those connected with Ger.
tain educational Institutions fostered by the state
are endeavorinG 10 get some one into the race for
State Superintendent of Education to oppose !. n.
Powers, the present incumbent. The information
as TO what transgression Mr.. Powers has committed
that harrows the feelings Of these panlpeIed sons
who sit in easy chairs, is lacking. AS an evidence
of the strength OF those who desire Mr.. Powers
scalp, we were advised that it had been suggested
that there existed certain organizations in many
counties of the state that could WELD no small pol
itical influence. What's the matter? We are not
rushing to anybody's defense but wish to remark
that should the batteries Of these aforesaid parties
be turned on Powers the people will be benefited.
The travelling sergeants' and other alli-d inter
ests make these Institutions powerful factors in
swinging things into line before the legislature to
get big appropriations. OF course they never get
all they need"-at least they say so. They ask for
too much. They spend too much. There must

She replied with Il yes" but seemed
to take no interest. He stood it ten

and festooned for her debut. 1t was
declined In the same quiet manner
that had characterized the tender. Her
friends were in Pittsburg. She had
grown up in and about the fine ole
home near the Smoky City-Clayton.
One story is that Mr.. Prick wrinkled
his brow when he heard the ultimatum.
1t is a safe guess that he demurred.
but it did no good. While he insisted
that his plan was to be carried out
the idol of the household went to the
telephone and engaged a stateroom il
a Pullman that was to go out that
night, for Pittsburg. Her mother went
with her. On their arrival they had
the old home arranged for the coming
out party, and when all was done Miss
Helen sent her stern father an invita-
ton to attend her party. 1t is related
that the invitation was very tender
and girlish. Nobody knows but the
tricks, and it is not at all likely that
the tricks give out their family CORE
spondence. But Mr.. Prick accepted
he left that night on special train.
The party was what might be expect
ed. Papa Frick capitulated gracefully.
When all was over the family returned
to the Vanderbilt mansion. A second
coming out later was suggested to oc-
cur in the big brownstone house. 1t
did not occur. Early in the season the
house was closed for the summer
Miss Tricks particular friend, Miss
Virginia Frew, had a wedding She
was married to Thurston Wright of
St Louis. Miss Prick was maid of
honor. 1t was the fulfiIlment of a
girlish promise. This meant photo
graphs for the public, for it was
very fashionable affair. Mr.. Frick had
never permitted his daughter to be
photographed for the public. The pie
ture was made 1t has not been told
that Mr.. Frick tried TO get the mega,
tive. When Mr. Prick asked his daugh-
ter what she wanted for coming out

Mrs. Tafes Summer chums.

Mrs. Taft's most intimate neighbors
while she is at Beverly, Mass, are the
Boardmans, who, like Mrs. Taft, hail
from the Buckeye State. The families
have always been chummy. The
Boardmans, of course, do not belong to
what is known as the official set, but
that makes no difference with the
Tafts. 1t is not generally known, but
it is fact, that it was due to the
Boardmans that Beverly was selected
as 1.-THE summer capital" The Board
man home is about seven Massachu-
sets miles from Beverly; but, as both
families have automobiles and one Of
the finest roads in the Bay State
stretches between the two homes,
miles do not count. Besides, the Board
man home overlooks the grounds of
the famous Essex County club, where
the president will take his exercise on
the links The house stands on a
rockbound coast and is appropriately
called Windclyffe because the ocean
winds blow about it the whole year.
The visits between the Taft and
Boardman homes are not trammeled
by etiquette.
