"a HUSBAND Is 4 WOMAN'S BEST
FRIEND
Baltimore SUM

a husband is a womans best
friend" exclaims Laura Jean Libby,
the eminent authoress and expert on
matters of the heart. How true it is.
Though he may be neglected and for
gotten for weeks, when the bill cOllec-
tor comes around the husband is called
to the front Whatever minor position
he may occupy at other times, just at
ter the first of the month he becomes
important He must face the grocer,
meet the milliner and answer the mis-
sive of the dry goods man
Whether the suffragists will admit It
or not, husband is a very handy thing
to have around the house He can fix
the furnace bring up the coal, talk
back to the hired man, and some eX-
ceptionally brave and hardy ones have
been known to go to the extent of tax
ing their lives in their hands and dis
charging the cook. They save a lot of
trouble when ladies want TO go to the
theatre, and are extensively used rs
companions in going to bridge parties
and returning from the same.
A sad and silent figure he may be,
and his name appears in the blaze Of
social lights only as among those
present" but when he gets away even
the busiest club woman of a wife soon
finds that something is missing. In a
theatre or at a reception he maks the
finest of fur-holders and wrap-carriers,
and nothing else forms so excellent a
background for brilliant costumes as a
row of them standing up at the back
of an opera box.
Laura Jean is right "A woman has no
better friend than a well-trained hus-
band. And the women realize it.
Whenever the supply Of husbands runs
short in any community there is sad
ness and sorrow. Bachelors are all
right in their way, but the only gem
uine is the man who marries He fights
the worlds battles, keeps up its fires
moves its furniture, looks after It's
children, and pays it's bills. Though
he seldom gets monument until ne
has passed away from this vale of
tears, he is hero, too.

IAN SEND GEORGIA TROOPS TO
MEXICO.

The question as to the extent of the
Presidents authority over state troops
-8EzE been raised by the talk of mobiliz-
rig a part of the National Guard as a
Ehdni division of the army on the Mex
gszD border. 1t appears that military
esaaciaI expressed the opinion that the
President could not order the National
Guard out of a state without consulting
e92s Governor and obtaining his con-
sent, but, congressional authority is
S1fEsI under certain conditions the Pres
ident can not only order out all state
a4E1Nps who have qualified under the
EI1Ek militia law, but can send them to
foreign lands regardless of the wishes
s-Er rhe feelings of Governors.
The first Dick BILL passed in 1903,
Ez9E5E ided that the organized militia that
sat2Dpted the organization, armament
zz.zn discipline of the regular army
-sznsguh share in the fund of 81 900, 900
=sEnaaally, and receive free all the
equipments of regular army soldiers.
TIM President was authorized in case
SIf invasion, threatened invasion, rebcl-
EEnn or ito execute the laws OF the
E-niun," to call out the militia to serve
EbEr not more than nine months in any
lcETT of the country He was impow.
erred 10 give orders direct to officers OF
GTsz militia
NJ mention was made of Governors
and in 1908 a bill to amend the DlcF
faw was passed which increased tbs
.anuzral militia to 100000 and add
EEoa1al demands We're made upon The
National Guard The guardsmen were
required to serve for the full term o
their enlistment instead of ony nine
TE0nths, and the President was author
EZed TO order them to serve "eithe1
within or without the territory of the
gEIted States instead of only in this
C4untry, as provided by the origina
I2w-
Therefore, it is clear that the P~esi
dent has been clothed with the auth
GRITTY to order out state troops fol
tinfy in Mexico or wherever they ma.
be- needed The amended Dick lav
stipulated that in calling cut the mill
Eia She President should issue order
Tor that purpose through the Governor.
.1T fine states or territories from which
ssEah troops should be called, to sucl
.cI2zssGers Of the militia as he may thinl
pr18pzr." 1t is evident that the sub
mission of orders through the Cover
uCE-s is only a matter of routine II
wnYch they can exercise no discretion
for che law makes the President The
1suznuander in-chief Of the Nationa
GSgzard as he is of the regular army,
When the bill was up in the House
for consideration the fact was stressed
shzf the President was authorized to
enforce the laws of the Union, and as
rgaeharation Of war is law it might be
ueexssary in order to enforce it to send
the militia out of the country.

IF | could settle the competition

youngster did the other day I'd pc
worth millions in a few years." said
a New York merchant to the New York
Sun. This boy was in search Of
work and applied at an Office where the
sign Boy Wanted was displayed at the
street entrance. He was a little fell
low and the manager told him he was
too young for the place. But the young
ster was persistent, said he was strong
and we'll and knew he could do the
work. In fact, he pleaded his cause so
we'll that the manager compromised q
little
See here" he said to the boy, 'you
go out and come back in an hour If
no other boy whose looks l like better
comes in within that time the jobs
yours"
The boy was game. He went down
stairs, stood at the street entrance for
a moment, and as he went past the
Boy Wanted sign just whisked it over.
Then he walked up and down the
block, keeping sharp eye on the re-
versed sign. The minute the hour of
probation was up he was at the man
ayers desk and was engaged. 1t was
only after the end of a weeks success
full service that the little fellows con-
science troubled him and he confessed
the way he'd settled the competition
problem"

CONVENTION REPORT
NOTHING Startling
COTTON IN TULSA COUNTY BE
ING BADLY DAMAGEO--
GOOD HAY CROP.

The startling report made by Rep
resentatiyes Of oklahoma at the con-
vention Of cotton growers in Mont
gomery, Ala, that the oklahoma cot
ton crop had decreased 80 per cent
from early predictions, is not much
of a surprise to farmers Of this vcln-
ity. 1t was stated yesterday by man
who is well versed in such matters,
and who has just returned from a
tour Of the country that field after
field of cotton had been practically
ruined by the boil worm.
The rains thelack Of which threat
ened to ruin the cotton crop earlier
in the year, are now blamed for the
great destruction being wrought by
the boil worm. These worms have
appeared in great abundance" and
are especially destructive in cotton
that is planted on new land. When It
is known that practically all the cot
ton planted on new land this year Is
a failure, and that the acreage in cot
ton this year is so per cent greater
than that Of last year, It can be seen
that the chance for such a tremendous
crop that was predicted early in the
year are slim.
The hay crop, however, is proyid-
ing a blessing and ton after ton Of
the finest quality OF hay will be har-
vested IN Tulsa County.

facts and circumstances surrounding
the affair to show that the shooting
was unnecessary and negligent be
put into the petition.
