democrats will need l05, but-the

Connecticut, Nassa chusetts and Maine
which now have democratic governors.
They have 81 votes. Subtract these
from one column and add them 10 the
other and the score stands: Republi-

doubtful states Colorado, Idaho. Indi-

It's easy for the republicans If they

A PenniIeSs Girl.

Miss Maria Louise Elkins is the
granddaughter of the late William
L. Elkins. She is only 10 years old,
with a beautiful home and servants
galore, but she has been absolutely
starving along on an allowance Of
$500 a year. Her mother now
comes into court and insists that
nothing less than this sum viii en-
able the young lady to maintain her
social standing, and so, the court
has decided that the trustees may
give the young girl what allowance
they see fit. IF she is unable to main
tain her social position on $4,000
q year, the amount may be increas-
ed. Senator E1kins' property is
largely IN coal lands, and there has
been considerable complaint as to
the condition of the mines in West
Virginia
When one young girl, unmarried,
finds it necessary to spend $4,000
year 70 keep up her social status,
somebody else must pay the freight
This Is a maxim as simple as a law in
mathematics. and yet. we go on perpe-
trating these injustices and wonder at
the cry of socialism. Most of these
coal miners in West Virginia are for
eigners who have been brought in
here TO be exploited for the benefit
of the mine owners, and in the mean
time the protected interests are cry
