SONG OF tbs voLuSTEvR.
From the mountain, from the river,
prom the valley from the plain,
We are sweeping TO the rescue
Like the pillows Of the main
For the traitors hand is lifted
And our Fathers sacred trust,
Our country's starry banner
Is trailing In the dust
By the f3res the Pilgrims lighted
On the old New England shores
BY the ashes Of the Statesman
Who 'still liveth" ever more,
By our noble Constitution
which hath lifted us on high
In thy strength, Oh. God Of Battles,
We conquer. or we die.

THE BEATTIE VERDICT.

The verdict of first degree murder
against Henry Clay Beattie, jr., may
be just one, but the manner of reach
ing that verdict did not SAVIOR of JUS
tice. Some of the jurymen admitted
afterward that they all had their minds
made up before they ever left the
courtroom, and that they sat in judg-
ment not upon the murder charge
alone but upon Beattie's moral char
acter in general. From reading the
press reports, it would appear that
the jury, summoned to pass merely
upon the murder charge, was preju-
diced against the prisoner because of
his general character and that they
found it much easier to send him to
the electric chair because of his admit.
ted indecency.
Henry Clay Beattie, jr., may have
murdered his wife. He alone was with
her when she was slain. He alone
knows the truth. But it is a sad COM
mentary upon justice in this land of

imously send a fellow being to the
electric chair, on a murder charge,
largely on general principles.

hymns each day, in order to cleanse
their minds of the dirty details of the
story that they were called upon to

each of those twelve jurymen consid

fessed on the stand, as great a crime
| as murder itself and that they would

MORE PAVING NEEDED.

Now is the time for Norfolk to make
paving plans for next spring. This is
the time to get the petitions signed
and presented to the council, so that

public's love for the city. They natur

demanded, if Norfolk is to get full
credit for its progressiveness.
West Norfolk avenue, as the prin

BATTLES OF A WOMAN MAYOR


The long controversy between Mrs.
Ella Wilson, mayor of Hunnewell,
Kan, and her refractory city council
of men, have furnished much press
copy from this once obscure Kansas
town. Since Mrs. Wilson's election
last spring the councilmen have de-
clined to meet with her, or to confirm
her appointments, hence no tax levy.
Mrs. Wilson announces that she will
fill the leading city offices with wo-
men.
The election of a woman to the
chief magistracy of city is an inter.
esting experiment even from the view
point of the anti.suffragist. A great
many people who question the results
of equal suffrage would still be dis
posed to place women in all elective
and appointive Offices to which they
seem personally fitted.
Some people will be sincerely sorry
that such an experiment seems to be
going awry through silly division of
| forces on sex lines. If Mrs. Wilson
has encountered factious obstruction
on the part of her council, she will
| find plenty of men who will espouse
her cause, not only from chivalry, but
| also because they want to see public
business we'll done, and would just as
soon have women mayors as women
clerks, provided they could give the
public cleaner streets and more eff.
ficient police.
Public sentiment has undergone a
tremendous change since the time
when a woman lost social caste even
by so honorable an occupation as
| teaching, and since it was thought
that girls would get brain fever if they
acquired the higher education of the
| colleges.
Now our Office buildings in the cities
are populated more largely by women
than by men. The girls show accur-
acy, speed and personal business tact
to higher degree than the men whom
they have outstripped. AS farmers
women display peculiar gift for max
| ing things grow, and are handicapped
only by physical limitations.
