HE HOLDS THE RECORD.
Governor Paterson Freed From Prison
Nearly 1000 During His Term.

Nashville, Tenn, Jan. 25-Historians
or tennessee now have perfect right
to call Malcolm R. Patterson the pardon
ing governor. Governor Patterson retires
from office today. Yesterday he granted
pardonS to seventeen prisoners serving
sentences in the state penitentiary. Sew
eral of those invited to come outside by
the retiring Democratic executive were in
prison because juries had found them
guilty of murder.
The list of pardons was only the finish
ing touch for Governor Patterson. All
through his two terms in the highest
office Tennessee has in its power to give
he has granted paroles and pardons.
His enemies assert that 1t is one of his
ways of playing politics. From the time
he came into office in 1907 up to last July
he freed 956 men from the penitentiary,
an average of six a week. Thirty-eight
was his record for single day. OF these
pardonS, 152 were murderers.

Gives $50 to Start Movement i'm

Arrangements were made this after
noon to provide work for all who need
it. When the plan is in full operation
no one need to be idle. It is Mayor j.
b. Billiards. idea. He has arranged
with the PrOvident association so
the job of trimming and cutting down
trees where needed over the city. The
tree limbs will be cut up into fire
wood. This is to be distributed among
the destitute or to be sold. The pro-
ceeds will go to pay the hire of the
laborers and to maintain relief fund
for the needy.
For the same purpose a subscription
is being taken up. Mayor Billiard
headed the list with $50. J. D. Skin
per this afternoon subscribed $40.
The plan, according to Mayor Bill
lard, will furnish employment and re-
lief to from ten to twenty men for 40
days, the balance of the winter. He
intends to make the labor bureau a
permanent organization. 1t is the
first of it's kind, it is said in Topeka,
and as far as known, the only one in
the state.
The laborers will be paid about
$1.25 day. Application for such en-
ployment are being made to Guy T.
Justis secretary of the Provident as
ISOLATION.
This idea has been discussed for
some time. Several plans for the relief
mentioned have been proposed by the
mayor and the city commissioners, but
the one outlined seems to be the most
feasible.
1--WE would like at least $500 for en-
ployment bureau fund.- said the
mayor this afternoon. "Of course ST.
900 would be much better, but $500
would be enough to pay the hire of
men to cut down trees, trim them, etc.,

One time, quite a while ago, Hon.
Polycrates desired to find and capture
a treasure, which had been buried on
the battlefield of Plataea by Mar
donius, one of Xerxes' generals. With
this end in view, he visited one Eurip-
ides, a gent who dealt in futures and
pasts, and hung out his single as an
oracle. When he asked this Euripides
person where to find said treasure,
the latter took a drink, lighted a Gig
arctic, and retired into a condition of
Deep Thought. After thinking it over
for eight hours, he came out of it and
said:
Turn every Stone"
Euripides has been a dead one for
several years, but his brilliant manner
of solving the problem submitted by
Polycrates is worthy of review at this
time. If Euripides had been a part of
the present population, and had been
approached by Governor Stubs with
the question, How shall 1 find that
which l seek in the Kansas house OF
representatives. 2" the answer would
have been the same, and we doubt not
that Euripides would have arrived at
the solution in less than eight minutes.
The wisdom of Euripides is just as
sound today as it was in the day Of
Polycrates; the way for the Crowned
heads to find any lost treasure in the
Kansas legislature is to turn the Stone
of Shawnee. And it may be added
that the Stone of Shawnee is a heavy
one. and not easily turned.
For quite a while, after this session
opened, it was mystery to many why
Stubs opposed the election of Stone

rade. the skunk, and, incidentally, sew
eral other animals.
Among the animals of this country,
the skunk commands more respect
than any other biped; the brave man
who will. without moments hesita-
ton, walk up and stick a penknife into
the epidermis of a grizzly bear, will
hesitate at least twice before assault
ing a skunk with an axe. Even the
beasts of the field prefer an open
range when his skunkship passes that
way. And, such being the case, what
is wrong with Professor Dyche's
proposition? Bills have been intro
duced to protect the American Eagle

ject to respect, but no eagle-not even
q double eagle-ever commanded the
respect which is daily conceded to the
