WHAT LOCAL SELF-GOVERNhEST
MEANS.

(From The Caucasian Of Septem-
Der lst. Reprinted by request)
The Raleigh News and Observer
says that a Republican In one county
explains that local self-govern-
ment" means 10 restore TO the people
the right to elect their County Boards
OF Education, Superintendent OF
Public instruction, and other officials
to administer the public school sys-
tenn.
It says that a Republican in anoth-
er county explains that the local self
government plank in the Republican
platform means that the people of
his county shall not have a bond is
sue put on them without being Civ
en- the right to vote upon it.
1t says that another Republican in
another county explains that it means
that the people will not have the
stock law or the no-fence law put
upon them against their wishes.
1t says, in short, that Republicans
in different counties in different Sec
tions of the State are all giving diff
ferent explanations as to what that
plank in their platform means, but
that none of them are giving all of
the explanations as to what it means.
1t then proceeds to call upon some
Republican to state fully and COM
pletely all the things that the Re-
publican party intends their local
self-government plank" to cover.
The Caucasian will most cheerful
ly furnish the Raleigh News and OBJ
server with the much desired infor-
nation. 1t is simply this: That
whenever and wherever the rule of
the people has been abridged or de-
MED by the Democratic ring, or by
any one else, that then and there the
Republican party will restore to the
people the right to manage their own
affairs. This is what the Republi-
can party means by local self-govern-
ment and it means nothing less than
this.

Fooled By Patterson-Republi
Success Assured.
Nashville, Tenn, Sept. 13.-On the
eve of the independent Democratic
State Convention, whose action to-
morrow will go far toward determin-
Tennessee will be Democratic or Re-
publican, the independents have coin
ed a baseball phrase which aptly ex-
presses their point of view in the be-
clouded political situation in this
State. They ask:
Can Governor Malcolm r. Patter-
son make a political sacrifice hit this
fall?"
They assert that the Governors
with drawal from the regular Demo-
cratic Gubernatorial candidacy is an
attempt to maintain in power what
they call his machine at the sacrifice
Of his own Office. Indications to-
night are that the independents, be-
lieving this to be Governor Patter-
sons motive, will refuse tomorrow
to accept the peace overtures made
to-day by the regular Democrats. The
Independent leaders say that much of
the country vote holds a rock-ribbed
belief that it is honor-bound to en-
dorse the Republican nominee, Capt
Ben w. Hooper, in return for Repub-
lican support in electing the indepen-
dent State judiciary last August.

THE MAINE ELECTION.

Democrats Elect Governor, Two Men,
bers of Congress and Probably the
Legislature-Local Conditions the
Cause.
AS was generally anticipated, the
State of Maine slipped from her old
time Republican moorings and went
Democratic, for the first time in thir-
ty years. Local questions, of which
the prohibition was the main issue, is
responsible, the result having no ma
tional significance, beyond the loss of
two Congressman. The State has
long been prohibition, and the peo-
pie were growing more and more res
tive, the Democratic party was gen.
orally understood to stand for its re-
peal.

Governor by a plurality of about S.

LOCATES GARDEN OF EDEN.
EngItshmHn Declares scenes Are
just North of Bagdad.

London, Feb. Sir William Willcocks
the British adviser to the Turkish min
istry OF public works. afirms his belief
that the Garden of Eden Is in the Hair
lah district, 80 kilometers north of Bag
dad. This spot is a verdant oasis, situ-
ated in the center Of a vast. desolate
plain, traversed by four arms OF the
Euphrates, which represent the four
rivers Of the Garden of Eden.
The quarrel between Cain and Abel. ac-
cording to local tradition, arose over the
water supply. Cain and his followers
We're agriculturists who cultivated the
banks of the river. while Abel was a
shepherd, and it was necessary for his
flocks that the pasturages on the plain
should be irrigated.
If the river flowed in its natural bed
the tillers of the soil would prosper. but
II the waters were spread over the plains
the shepherds would prosper. In the
quarrel. victory rested with Cain.
As TO the deIuge, Sir William Will
cocks suggests that the dams or dykes
built by the pastoral jewellers to conserve
the waters Of the Euphrates and the
Tigris burst, and that the plain between
the rivers was submerged. and the great
er part of the population were drowned
Noah, knowing the condition of the
dams, and foreseeing their collapse, built
the Ark, and escaped the inundation.

CHILD SUICIDES ON INCREASE

/ London. Feb 5.-Child suicides have
/ Of late become almost as frequent
/ in England - they are in Ger
many. and sociOlogists are at a loss
how 10 explain. During the month of
January no less than five suicides Of this
kind took place in London, where two
more children made determined attempt

[ from other parts Of England and Ire
| land
/ Colonel Unsworth, Of the Salvation
Army's Anti-Suicide Bureau. who comes
in touch with more would-be suicides
| than any man living. said:
/ THE chief cause is the bad habits
among boys and girls nowadays Of read
/ ing cheap. sensational novels. which in
flame them with the idea that suicide is
a sort of heroic act.
They see pictures in public and in DIFF
| ferent prints that children never saw
years ago-pictures clarifying suicide:
| there can be no other description Of the
| things-and so the children gradually be
come prey to morbid feelings.
Perhaps they get into d little trouble
at school. or their parents reprove some
fault in them. and these children say in
effect: We will end all in this glorious
way
Another, but not so general n cause is
the high nervous tension OF present-iay
life. which reflects and reacts even on the
children.
Then again there is the question OF
hereditary faint If a member Of the
family has committed suicide. others in
the family arrive at the morbid convic-
ton that they must do likewise. Our
methods in that case IS to talk them into
a saner view of the matter
we had one little boy brought TO US
who had attempted suicide because his
parents had checked him in some little
act of misconduct. There I felt more Ike
spanking him.
Very often parents threaten their chill
dren one minute and give them free rein
in the next. That IS bad. An occasional
correction is good"

LIVED UP TO HIS CONTRACT
And When He Saw Another Woman
He Gave Up the First in Accordance
Court, in Denying Her the Right
10 Claim Him Legally.

Paris. Feb. "a remarkable contract
of a trial marriage which proved a fail
ure was exhibited in the Paris courts the
other day Viscontess de Nuce brought
an action to have the court force her
trial husband to marry her. but he
claimed he merely made contract with
the woman and the idea of marriage. as
usually and legally considered, was never
contemplated.
The contract was produced in evidence,
which, after stating the serious financial
situation of the trial wife. she set forth
her conditions which were, that she
should receive 1900 francs per month
with which to pay off her Indebtedness
and certain amount of spending money
but reserved the right 10 make a change
if among her many admirers she found
one for whom she cared more than her
trial husband. or whose financial condi-
tion could be more beneficial to her. A
fifteen days notice had 10 be given Of
the proposed change OF husbands.
Conditions Are Accepted.
The trial husband. a well-known manu-
facturer, accepted these conditions. aud
stated as his requirements from his trial
wife that he also reserved the right TO
have other adventures and make a change
on fifteen days notice. and stipulated
that his trial wife should be faithful and
true in all things and conduct herself IN
a dignided manner. never TO wear loud
clothes. but to always dress i'm plain, but
elegant taste; never to go out alone, es-
pecially 10 cafes, theaters, and restau-
rants. and to never pose for the admira-
ton Of men or 10 try TO make herself

Jointly they agreed that the contract
should have no limitation. but could be
rendered nul and void upon "a fifteen
days notice. and that if either were
met by the other. accompanied by com
panion Of the opposite sex. the contract
would become null and void at once. The
court could not see how this contract
constituted a promise Of marriage.
