Peroxide will bleach your hair, but it

Got to Have a Compass.

Under the provision of the
present fish and game law, a man
must have compass or a transit
with him when he hunts or fish
es, in order to keep out Of the
clutches of the game warden, for
if he should by any possibility
stray off the land on which he
had a permit to hunt or fish, the
warden would be empowered to
nab him and take him before a
justice without any process of
law. And if, by any chance, the
hunter had a permit but left it
at home, and should be accosted
by a game warden, he would be
liable to arrest because he could
not show the permit.

A BIG LOAD 10 CARRY.

If the Virginia debt suit is con-
tinued much longer, some of the
honorable counsel in that suit
will be able to retire according to
the notion of the fellows who are
footing the bill-the footers in
this case are the taxpayers.
About every two years the legis-
lature appropriates $4,000 for
the defence Of the suit and if
counsel for West Virginia can
only stave the actual trial off long
enough, the next legislature will
be asked to pay another $4,000
partly for the support of Ex-Gov-
ernor Dawson, one of Governor
Glasscock's appointees. Attor-
ney Generals office costs seven
times as much as it cost under
the last Democratic administra-
ton. Under MacCorkle it cost
the State just $1,000. Under
Governor Glasscock it costs ST.
300. Attorney General had his
salary raised and secured an adj
ditional assistant under the
present regime. He gets "a, 600
and Dawson helps at $4,000 year.
Under Dawson the office cost
ST. 900. Quite jump from ST.
900 to$17 800. Perhaps the work
of the Office increased ITO per
cent when Governor Dawson
stepped out and Governor Glass
cock stepped in.

CLERKS In CLOVER.

1t takes just twice as much money
to support the clerks in the West

as it did only five years ago, yet
the State Republican committee

any single item of expenditure that
could possibly be cut down. May
be the labor iii the department have
increased two-fold since 1905. If
they haven't, il is difficult to ac-
count for the increase in the salaries
OF the horde Of henchmen now hold
ing good berths under the present
regime. $40,241 worth of clerks
were able to do the work in 1905.
1t took $47, 500 to the clerical work
in 1906 Must have been lot
more to do in 1907 for that wear
$50 $50 was paid to the clerks
They received the same amount i'm
I 1908 but since the present admins.
tration went into Office it was found
that there were not enough jobs to
go around and SO they increased
the clerical expenses from $50 600
TO S75,300 Anticipating that there
might be others to be taken care of
in 1910 they jumped the item foi

500 SPIES.

The State Game Warden who
receives a salary of $1,000 a year
and whose office is an appointive
and not an elective office, is the
chief of a mighty spy system
numbering at least 500 men and
said to be near 1, 900 men, whose
chief duty is to spy upon their
neighbors and if necessary inter-
fere with their personal liberty
or their freedom from seizure.
According to the estimate of the
game Warden last year about
$25, 900 was paid into the state
treasury from hunters licenses.
In the county of Randolph alone
this year in less than ten months
almost $1,000 has been paid over
for licenses to hunt and the grea-
ter part of this amount goes INTO
the state treasury. A recent H.
