state training school at Chehas total of 259 boys
and IS girls according to the report of the state
board of control, but none of the girls and only
three of the boys were committed from this county,

Twenty-six million dollars is the job-lot cost of
the public buildings authorized by the last session
of congress, which was republican. And the next
house of congress, which will be democratic, will
be asked to furnish the money
You can see what nice mess is always cooked
up for democratic congress furnishing money
for republican extravagances in the past, and
building up surplus to be used by some future
republican congress.
For the benefit of the republican party ITSELF it
is necessary to have democratic house occa-
sonally.
James J. Hill, one of the great railroad men in
she world, certainly can not think very much of
Former President Roosevelt. In an interview the
other day he said: Theodore Roosevelt, poor fel-
low-I know him well-he has no control of him
self" Just like that he said it, don't you know,
and then he continued: Roosevelt has always
been pleased to get big crowd together to hear
him shout and hurrah Facing one of these cheer
ing crowds he loses hold of himself absolutely. In
fact, do not believe Roosevelt has had continu-
GUS control of himself for week at a time since
he became national figure, but he simply can't
help himself"
Washington, D. c., newspapers announce that
there is new cook in the White House, the for
mer cook, Martha Peterson having left her pots
and pans to enter the married state with James
Mulvey, one of the White House policemen.
This important bit of news, flashed over the
country by the associated press while not likely to
cause any particular furry in the financial market,
may cause some little trouble with Mr.. Taft. The
former cook was good girl, and always lighted
the fires in the morning before she let in the cat.
She was good cook too, and worked early and
late to feed the many hungry mortas who hang
around the White House to get square meal
occasionly.
During the winter season from 1900 to 1900 peo-
pie are fed at the White House, and any woman
who can cook satisfactorily for that number ought
to have had her wages raised before she took up
with the policeman But Taft is cutting down ex-
penses so he says and now his cook is gone.
Serves him right.
The legislature will be asked by the attorney
general to pass law which will give the attorney
general power to file information direct with su-
perior courts without the necessity of their going
through the hands of the county attorneys Under
the present law the attorney general is merely an
adviser of the latter officials and delays results it is
said.
A bill similar to the South Carolina dispensary
act is urged upon the attorney general and ne has
been requested to draft such a measure. The con-
troll of liquor, both as to quantity and quality
sold, would under such measure pass into the
hands Of the state.
A state commission to take the place of all the
present state commissions, including the railroad
