BOYS, CLUBS IN TOWNS.

a WRITER in the Dover Delawarean calls at
\ tenuon to the problem Of the boy in the
town. He points out that in cities the boys are
looked after by means of boys clubs, industrial
training, juvenile courts and the like
In towns the tendency. the Deawarean writer
says is to leave the boys TO the schools to take
care Of Clubs under proper supervision and in
dustrial training for the boys of towns are sug-
gested.
Some method should be provided to look after
the boys in towns. Many Of them will drift into
rowdyism just as city boys do, unless provision
is made for their welfare. A boys club and GYM
nasium in Dover, as Mr.. Clark in the Delawarean
says, would be revelation The BOYS would dis
appear from the streets. A Boys Club would be a

HOW WOMEN SETTLED 1T.

IT HE city OF Seattle, Wash. applied the recall
Il with vigor the other day when Mayor-Gi
was ousted from his position at a special election
Last spring Mayor Gill was elected by about $500
majority and at the recall he was defeated by the
same majority.
There was dissatisfaction over the admnistra-
tion OF the Mayor. He was managing the city
on liberal policy socalled, wide open town
in which vice was more or less conspicuous.
At the recall election women voted for the first
time They made short work of the Mayor. He
admits that he was defeated by the vote of women.
Men may differ and make all sorts of arguments
and excuses in dealing with questions of morality
and the like, but the Seattle election shows that it
is not so with women. There no handling
of such question with excuses or gloved hands.

GOVERNOR wilson NAMING A RECoRD.

OVERNOR WILSON, of New Jersey, has
~ little respect for party machines. He is
appointing men TO positions, having only the pub
lie good in mind A recent appointment, that Of
Colonel Edwin A. Stevens TO be Road Commits
sioner of New Jersey, is pronounced an excellent
one by Republican newspapers.
The Governor has also served notice on the
Democratic State Chairman, Mr.. Jim Nugent to
keep hands off the Legislature, to stop trying to
dictate to members of that body how they shall
vote on certain questions.
In the short time that he has been in Office the
Governor has certainly succeeded in arraying po-
tent political leaders against him. and there will
be clean cut fight between him and the leaders
as to which shall control the political affairs of
the State.
The people of New Jersey, however, voted for
just the sort of methods that Mr.. Wilson is civ
ing them, and it will be interesting TO watch what
the verdict at the polls will be when the people
shall again have an opportunity to express their
opinions of the administration of the new Gov.
ernor.

such a measure being enacted while the opposi-

says, "and If death should claim me,
my last thoughts would be of YOU"
"I'll be true to you," she sobs.
IN never see anybody else or love
them as long as live!" They part
ed.
Six years later he returns. His
sweetheart Of former years has mar
ried. They meet at party. She
has changed greatly; between the
dances the recognition takes place.

hand; was 1t YOU or your brother

ment as to his arrest to the Asso-

ITO the brotherhood of organized

Gin this second attempt to crush
and discredit the cause we represent,
realize fully the desperation of the
enemies of labor arrayed against us,
but am of good heart, for it will
fail.
"That 1 am innocent of any in
fraction of the law in word or act,
needs no emphasis from me, for
truth is mighty and will prevail
right speedily, and for it l shall con-
tentedly wait.

of union labor, world over. my earn

assurance that there is no villiany or
conspiracy possible of which we are
afraid.

pend judgment in these matters I'M

tense has been Afforded"

AN OLD BIBLE WAS
SOLD FOR A FORTUNE
Los Angeles Man Pays $4,000
For Volume Once In
Hoe Library.

New York, April 2S.-The first
book ever printed from movable
types last night brought the high
est price ever paid for any book.
The prize was the Gutenberg Bible,
the purchaser, Henry e. Hunting
ton, of Los Angeles, and the price
$50, 900.
The purchase was made at the OPP
ening session at the sale of the IL
brary of the late Robert Hoe, the
largest public auction sale of books
ever attempted. Experts have es-
timated the collection to be worth
more than a million dollars, and
wealthy amateurs and dealers from
Europe had come to vie with the
American collectors in the bidding.
The highest price previously paid
for the Gutenberg Bible was $780,
900, at which Bernard Quaritch
purchased 1t in England fourteen
year ago. At private sale he dis
posed of 1t shortly afterward to Mr..
Hoe at a profit of $4,000, and it
has remained in the Hoe collection
ever since. The copy was printed
some time between 1850 and 1855.
Bidding for the treasured book
was spirited, with Bernard Quaritch,
son of the forme- owner, partici-
pating until the bids passed the$21,-
900 mark. From there 1t Jumped
by thousands at a clip to $4,000.
At $4,000. P. A. B. Widener, of
Philadelphia, who had been the
most determined of the runners-up,
dropped out of the race. and the ev-
en- $4,000 was bid by Mr.. Hunting
ton.
The total sales of the day and
night sessions were $134,S66 for
$40 numbers.
Next to the Gutenberg Bible, the
Book of st. Adams, compiled by Jo-
LANA Berners and published by Cax-
Ton In 1886, brought the highest
Observation-Disclosures bought by
Mr.. Huntington. 1t is the third
book ever set up in type by English
printers.
The tenth book of the history of
he Philippians, by Heliodorus, print
ed in Basic, Switzerland, by lean
1ein Oporinum in 1852 and bound
by Grolier, went to Walter M. Hill,
Of Chicago, for $4,000.
A history of Italy, by francesca
fuicciardini, bound by Nicholas
Eve in 1861, with a full-length
portrait in mosaic, of morocco and |
of Henry ILL.,, was bought
or $4,000 by Mr.. Huntington, who |
vas the heaviest buyer of the day.
