Governor Mann of Virginia has
denied to interfere with the operation
of the law in the Henry Clay Beattie
case and sets forth some very clear
reasons why he should be uncompro-
missing in this case for the good of
society. Beattie is found guilty of the
atrocious murder of his young wife
that his way might be clear to con-
sort with a former mistress All that
wealth and influence could do to clear
him of the charge was done, but there
was no question of his guilt and there
should be nothing now to mitigate the
punishment. If there were a few
more executives holding to the doc
trines that influence Governor Mann
in denying this pardon, there would
be fewer times when need for it is
asked.

An Oregon exchange says that we
are over estimating the value of our
apple product in considering its
growth alone and not comparatively
with the growth of othcr Industries.
The Oregon shipment of apples last
year was 100 carloads, and consid err
ing the new acreage the mind grows
dizzy figuring what it may be when
all the trees come into bearing. But
when we measure it with the fact that
the live stock shipments are about
1000 cars a year, not to mention the
many other cars representing a pro-
duct values of not less than s2,5OO,OOO
which carried meat products of all
kinds to the markets east. 1t will be
found in way of contrast and COMPARE
son that the apple industry is not
growing any faster in Yakima valley
than the other industries that thrive
here. Yet the world market is alb
sorbing all we can produce and is
clamoring for more.

The formation of new congressional
districts made necessary by the new
congressional apportionment has re-
vived the old cry of "beware of
gerrymander." This method of po-
litical control is almost as old as the
nation, but is still an important factor
in states where the political COM
pleXion is difficult to determine. The
issue is very live one in Missouri,
where several new congressman are
added under the recent apportionment
and where there is a close political
fight raging. But the population is
so shifting in the United States that
gerrymander is only temporary
matter at best In many states of the
middle west that were deliberately
gerrymandered thirty or forty years
ago political sentiment has so com
pletely changed that the former ad-
vantage is entirely lost This is es-
pecially true in Indiana, which was
considered a pivotal state in the early
eighties and ridiculously gerrymanded
/ by the democrats.

Thousands who viewed the land
show exhibit in New York got it firm
ly fixed in their mind that Yakima is
the home of the prize red apple and
thousands of others will be told of
their conviction. The eyes of the ap-
pie hungry public will be focused
upon Yakima valley as the result of
the prize winning at the land show
and great material benefit will result
from the publicity.

Interstate Road System

Seven states about New York, and
including New York, have appropria-

500, 100000, and the highway COM
missioners of these states met recent

over the domain of their jurisdiction.
The particular object of the tour was

the best method of constructing the

Profit-Sharing Municipal Plant

According to the Consular Reports,
the town of Stafford in England not
only shares its profit with the tax
payer but also pays its employees a
bonus proportioned ON the economies
practiced in the business. During the

from seven to ten per cent of the
amount paid in wages. During that
period the employees have never ask

TRIALS OF A RHYMSTER

I've thought and I've thought and I've
thought,
On subjects galore for some verse;
My pencil won't fly as it ought,
In fact, every trial gets worse.
I might try some Jingle ON girls,
And tell of their manifold charms;
Their features and round dimpled
arms.
1t isn't snap, you can bet,
This grind Of column a day!
No wonder a fellow will fret,
When ideas don't flow his way,
A chap cannot write about kids
And babies and such all the while;
The boss Of the sanctum forbids,
And tells me to vary my style.
But there, ding the luck, 1t won't do
To enter a crouch at this time,
Because I would never get through,
And there wouldn't be any rhyme.
Let's see-there is autumn, but no
The poets have done autumn brown,
Too early for jingles on snow
The boss on that effort would frown.
Aha! there's the suffragette theme!

Providing the women don't squeal

And then I would get the g. b.

No knowing who'd hand it to mo!
Ho, hum! this is tiresome work!
A verse makers life is a bore;

more.

I'm going to call the job through;

A South Dakota railroad is noted
for its excreable road-bed. A new
brakeman was making his first run
over the road at might and was stand

clutching the seats to keep erect.
Suddenly the train struck a smooth
place in the track, and slid along
without sound. Selling his lantern,
the brakeman ran for the door.

WHEN THE CURTAIN DROPS

When the curtain drops
And the music stops
Then the flare of the footlights fades
away,
And the cleaning gems
OF the diadems
Go back to the paste that they are by
day.
And the rich-robed king
Is a common thing.
While the painted fool is a sober one,
And the gracious queen
With her grace serene
Is OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES the play Is
done.
Then the lords and earls
And the lace and curls
And the pomp and pride are forgotten
then
When the curtain drops
And the music stops
They must all become what they are
again.
It is so with life.
When the mimic strife
Has been put away with the mimic
mirth,
When the kings have sighed
And the slaves have died
And the queens have all gone the
way of earth.
When our pride and pomp
And our rout and romp
Have an end-and the prompt books
close for us
When we've played our parts
With our hands and hearts
Then the costumes fall and the play
ends thus.
So we should not grieve
For the make-believe
or the mimic life we have lived, for
When the curtain drops
And the music stops
We shall all become what we are
again.
