MESSAGE
To the Legislature is Now Be
ing Written by Governor
Glasscock.

CHARLESTON, Dec 1S--Hidden
away in secluded room in the gov
ernor's mansion Governor Glasscock
will spend the greater part of the
present week writing his message to
the legislature. For the last week
or two the governor has given the
message, which will be his first,
some attention but finds the work in
compatible with the routine work
of his Office and will remain for a
few days closeted with his own
thoughts Governor Glasscock has
no easy task in the way OF a mos
sage 10 the lawmakers. lie has a
legislative program which he would
Ike to see carried out but the fact
the the House of Delegates is Dem
ocratic puts him in peculiar. posi-
tion. Had the legislature remained
Republican he could have called
upon the lawmakers to uphold the
of their party. But now
i is different and the governor will
have to display some diplomacy in
MS message if he is successful in
having any of the legislation
adopted he wants.

HERMAN BECKMAN ENTERS
AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE

Herman Beckman left for Ft-
Collins last week, where he took
an examination and was admitted
to College by Diploma. Her
man was one of Prof. Hollings-
worth's scholars who failed to
pass the eighth grade examina-
ton last spring. 1t was alleged
at the time that Prof. Hollings-
worth's pupils did not i've
fair play on account of differen-
ces arising between the teacher
and the County Superintendent
The fact that Herman was
able to pass the examination re-
quired by the faculty of the col
lege proves that partiality must
have been shown by the Super
intendent Mrs KERN against the
teacher Prof. Hollingsworth, the
result being that most of the pu-
pills failed to pass, but undoubt-
edly the majority were as compe-
tent as Herman.

2 In a speech at Asbury Park, Satur- day, Hon. Woodrow Wilson, Demo cratic candidate for Governor of New Jersey, asked: 'Why didn't they CRe- pubIcans) enact some sort of corrupt practices 1aw?' Answering the ques- ton, he said: Because their power hinges upon permanency in office, and to keep office it is necessary that cleo ton returns shall not be too closely scrutinized.''
 In Connecticut, it is not matter of failure to enact some sort of corrupt practices law" but a, case of emascula- ton into worth1essness of one which possessed some value. But the mo tive is the same in both States, viz, a desire to have a clear and safe field for the purchase of votes. Corrup- tion is, as Candidate Wilson says, necessary to assure Republican perma- nency in office, and he might have ad- ded that heavy contributions to cam paign funds are needed to effect cor ruption and that they-can only be se- cured by a virtual sale of the party to corporate interests which have faxes to grind" or which desire to de- feat legislation in the interest of the people.
The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1910-10-17

John G. Saxe, Democratic candi- date for. the N. Y. State Senate, says in a published letter, While I am not particularly afraid that Roosevelt may fool the American people to the ex- tent of making himself Dictator or Emperor in name, still I do believe that so far as he is sincere he is ex- clusively for Theodore Roosevelt for President in 1912 and 1916.''
 Very many men have reached a, sim liar conclusion. They are unable to understand why, in this utilitarian age, any man would sacrifice time, la Dor and money so lavishly unless nov ed thereto by some ulterior purpose. Whether so intending or not. Col. Roosevelt is practically antagonizing the Taft candidacy for a second term and pushing. himself forward for a third term. If he even dreams of be- coming a modern Caesar, he greatly mistakes the temper of the American people.
