EDITORIAL

The thirst for office is now a CON
snming desire in every county IN the
state, Greene having its share of the
con tagion. Unde: our American sys-
tenn of government we elect our rul-
ers, and those who seek to rule,
should not forget that its equally
honorable and desirable to cultivate
the grace to serve. Both the script
ures and our civil laws emphasize
the latter with equal force as the
former. Those who are fortunate
enough to secure an Office, should
not let the love of power drift them
into that fault spoken of in Christs
day, i. e., those who rule the gen
tiles, lord 1t over them. This writer
has been studying and making obser
vations for years, that have very
nearly crystalized into the formal for
a good strong editorial on the subject
introduced by the preceding SEN
tence, viz: Love of Power. Some
day not far distant we hope to write
it out and present here.

BREEZY BREEZE FROM THE ROCKIES
Fletcher Rhinehart Comes Again.

Rosedale, New Mexico, March 2,
l9ll.-Dear Editor:-Anotner week
ha4 been hurled into the Dead Sea
Past and the Herald has performed
its mission in summing up the clean
news of my old home and now lays
before me in glaring type. The Her
aid, to me, is indispensable. AS
read 1t, it puts to flight the vast area
which intervenes and brings me face
to face with my old friends. L can
imagine that | hear the footsteps OF
mother as she goes about her daily
vocation. Then, too, | know the
Editor personally SO we'll that | feel
sure that every word is published
IN its true spirit. These things
makes the Herald all that its name
implies and is to me the first reading
matter when the mail arrives.
We are showed in. The snowfall
for the past five days was thirty
five inches and much deeper in the
higher regions, The wind follow
ing has drifted it until in places it
has drifted twenty or thirty feet
deep. The snow is ofvalue beyond
computation to the stock men
since it will supply stock water I'M
til the fall cams begin. 1t will also
give the grass a little start this
spring
regret most keenly that Brother
Dawson thought that | was abiding
to his nose when | was only speaking
of the climatic condition. Ga yes,
Brother Dawson, | have one of those
face projections and have followed it
for 10, these many wears. Even
though | go out in the cold unfriend
ly world, penniless and sockless, it
asks no higher privilege than that
OF accompanying me, in the lead,-
eyer alert to the sweet aroma of juicy
spring poultry. | am pleased to ad-
wise you that we have some of the
spring poultry and they do not roost
any higher here than down IN the
piney woods-altitude not taken into
consideration.
| failed to see how Brother Dawson
has associated my name with the
Emerald Isle. Now Notorious, if
you contemplate waylaying me with
ID rock (or possibly shamrock) on
the road to Dublin, | think you will
get left. Now had you said that you
would layway me with barrel of
sourkraut on the road to the sour
kraut regions of Germany,I think we
would have had one of the greatest
mix ups imaginable and one of the
trio would have been badly disfgur-
ed-namely sourkraut.
With best wishes, | am, sincerely,
R. f. RHINEHART.

Attacks School Principal

A severe attack on school princi-
pal, Chas B. Allen, of Sylvania, Ga.
is thus told by him. For more than
three years | suffered indescribable
torture from rheumatism, liver and
stomach trouble and diseased kidneys
All remedies failed till used Elec-
trio Bitters, but four bottles OF this
wonderful remedy completely cured
me. y Such results are common.
Thousands bless them for curing
stomach trouble. female complain is,
kidney disorders, biliousness and for
new health and vigor. Try them.

ABOLISH PRESIDING ELDREsS
NORTHERN METHODISTS DE-
MAND A CHANGE IN RULES.
Expected to Have Important Bearing
on Election of Delegates to Gen
eraI Conference Next Year.


NEW YORK.-The Laymans AS
ISOLATION, part of the annual Meth
Odist conference of New York, unof-
ficially, but composed of influential
men, takes the lead in proposing to
American Methodism four radical
things, all four of them going to the
very foundation of Methodist policy.
The propositions will now go to Lay
mems Associations in all other Meth
odist conferences, and are expected
to have important bearing upon the
election of delegates to the quadren-
NAL general conference to be held in
Minneapolis next year, which cleo
tons begin at once The four propo-
sitions are:
1. Abolish the Office of district
superintendent or, as it is better
known, presiding elder. This office
has existed in American Methodism
since 1884.
2. Elect general superintendent,
commonly called bishops, in sufficient
numbers to enable comparatively
small districts each to have it's own
and locate each bishop for a period
of at least four years in one field.
Some favor their permanent location
3. Give laymen membership in
the annual conference. Equal rep
resentation is not asked Laymen
are now members of the general
body, quadrennial general confer
ence, and so even are women if any
happen to be elected But annual
conferences have always been limited
to ministers.
4. Restore the pastoral time limit,
making uniform period of five years
and prohibiting absolutely the trans
fer of ministers who command high
salaries and prominent pulpits in all
cases where, under similar circum-
stances, the small salaried minister,
occupying the unconspicuous pulpit,
might not be transferred.
New York Methodist laymen come
out boldly and declare that there is
unrest throughout Methodism on all
four of these matters. They further
say that because of this unrest and
because of conditions which bring it
on Methodism is not growing as it
ought to do, especially in the large
cities, either west of east.
The presiding elder has been a
prominent person and power ever
since there was an American Meth
odism. He is at the head of a dis
trict in a conference. He gives all
of his time, and he has a voice in
both temporal and spiritual affairs.
Together the presiding elders form
cabinet and assist the bishop when
he comes to preside over the assign
ments. Wiping out this Office is one
of the demands of the Ney York lay
men.

CAUGHT IN NUPTIAL COUCH
Bed Closed Up on Newly Weds in
the Wee Sma' Hours. Thrilling
Rescue of the Couple.

A Hot Springs dispatch the Phila-
delphia Record says:
Mr.. and Mrs. H. R. Kohn of Phila-
delphia still survive, but it isn't their
fault. 1t was 2 a. m, and in the
fashionable Homestead Hotel; all
was quiet when a gum shoe pa
trolling the hall heard strange sounds
coming from room No. 900.
Sounds like an S. .. S. call, said
be, and using his pass key he went
inside. There he found the senders
of the distress signal, though but one
night out of port on the sea of mat
rimony, on the ricks. Only their
feet were visible, the rest of their
anatomy being covered by bedding
and Il headboard of the bedstead, a
piece of furniture which had utterly
collapsed. Clasps and smothered cries
for help came, indicating strangula-
ton already in an advanced stage
The gum shoe" did the natural
thing under the circumstances. He
grabbed hold of the prUtruding feet
onu pu4ICu Will ydAlh dll6I ydnh ull-
til something gave way-and out
came the bride and groom
The groom and the gum shoe"
got their breath at the same time
and started in to explain, while the
white-faced, pink-eared little bride
made haste to cover her pretty little
lace mighty with a blanket. By
this time the groom had stammered
that he didn't know how it happened.
The night clerk appeared, and sug-
gested a removal to another room.
The story got out and Mr.. and Mrs.
Kohn departed in search of a commu-
nifty not so appreciative of a joke.

in, but that it is believed he will de-
cline to sell
We are tempted to hope that he
will hold on to his own and put
Northport society to the test. 1t is
only fair for critics of the southern
position in this matter to be forced
to make it quite clear whether they
are willing to practice what they
preach
And yet even if Booker Washing
ton should find the issue of the ex-
pertinent to his satisfaction the prin-
ciple for which educated negroes and
some of their white friends contend
will really not have been tested. A
few wealthy people at Northport
might receive the distinguished ne
gro's family socially and the average
northerner still remain unalterably
opposed to similar social relations
with the average negr0's family.

SHE HAS BEEN PRETTY BAD
But, After an Operation, the Doc
tors Think This Young Woman
Will Behave Herself.


She has been a pretty bad girl,
but the doctors have sawed out a
piece of her skull, and now they
think she will behave herself when
she gets well. Her name is Mrs.
Jean Thurnherr, and she is the adopt
ed daughter of the late Judge Bar
clay of Los Angeles. When she was
an infant her skull was injured by
a fall, and the region affected was
just above the right temple, which
the surgeons say is the seat of the
nerve centers controlling the moral
impulses. When little more than a
child she left home, and after that
she was at various times a bellboy,
a bartender, cowboy, highway
man and finally a burglar. 1t was
for the burglary that she was arrest
ed, and some one with more than
the usual acumen discovered that the
woman had a bad scar above the
temple and suggested that perhaps
there was some connection between
the scar and the woman's tendency
to crime. She was taken to the hos
pital in Oakland, and two surgeons
operated on her skull, taking out
three square inches of bone. The
bone at this point was found to be
one and a half times thicker than
it would be normally, consequently
eXerting a pressure on the brain It's
sues.
The doctors say the operation was
a complete success from a surgical
point of view, and they believe the
woman will be entirely cured of her
wayward tendencies.

AN INTERESTING EXPERIMENT
WASHINGTON BUYS HOME NEAR
SWELL RICH WHITES"
His Millionaire Patrons Pleased With
His Purchase, But His Neighbors
Want to Buy Him Out.


AS Booker T. Washington has an
annuity from the steel king and
probably a large salary or income as
president of Tuskegee, for which in
stitution he is continually collecting
northern shekels, it is no surprise
to learn that he has purchased a
fine estate at Northport, Long Island.
What is chiefly interesting in this
connection is the fact that his new
summer home is "'in the midst of a
settlement of swell rich white peO-
pie Washington is said to be much
pleased with his purchase, as also are
some of his millionaire patrons.
Whether any of the latter reside at
Northport is not stated but it is
probable that they do not. 1t is one
thing to patronize and give the hand
of fellowship to a distinguished ne
gro at an occasional public gathering
and another thing to live near his
family and be expected to include
them in the continual exchange of
social courtesies.
Some of the distinguished colOred
mans near neighbors at NOrthpOrt
have already recognized this fact, for
it is reported that they have ''got to-
gether and formed syndicate to try
to buy DR.. Washington holdings. ="
1t is further stated that he has been
offered a handsome profit on his
purchase before moving his family

SPECIAL TRAIN FOR A DOG.

Poodle Rushed Across Continent for
Treatment by Specialist.
Rushing across the continent at
the best speed of steam there is a
special car containing man, wo-
man and a dog. The special car is
for the dogs benefit. The man and
woman-husband and wife-are the
owners of the brute, but they are
also it's devoted nurses. At San Di-
ego the dog got cold in one of its
eyes. The eye became inf1amed.
There was no physician on the coast
competent to treat it, in the opinion
of the mistress, so she ordered imme-
diately private car in which to take
the sore-eye dog to New York to be
treated by a specialist. And every
day in that woman's home city
New York-there are many little
children dying for the lack Of food
and medicines.
