Dr. Wiley on Women

From the New York World.
 Dr. Harvey w. Wiley said fin a recent address on woman suIrage: T do not think that women are any better than men, but 1 believe they are not open to the same temptations What leads men astray2 Not bad hearts. Men as rulo are not had at heart It is money. or rather the thirst for money Men are more open to this form of temptation than women. They look upon a question in the light of how 1t will affect their pocketboolss. Whenever an attempt Is made to secure better sanitary laws In our cities. who are those that oppose the san itary measures? The women the clubs, the physicians? No. 1t is the business men Why do they do it? Because 1t costs to clean up. . believe that if women had the ballot they would help to secure better sanitation
 pr. Wiley also declared that he believed woman suffrage would reduce the infant death rate. It is an interesting fact that the II countries having the lowest infant death rate are all of them countries where women vote.

NICE FOR THE FAMILY
More Than One-Thfrd of State Az.
ditor's Payroll Goes to Himself
and Relatives.

State Auditor ]. S. Darst, who is
seeking reelection to one of the most
important offices in the state, doesn't
care much whether it be Republicans,
Progressives or any othpr party mem
hers who support him, SO long as he
is reelected. And he has good rea-
son to want the Office for another
term, for he and his family manage to
draw from the state in connection
with the office more than $4,000 a
year, although the salary of the audi
tor is fixed by law at $4,000 and he
is prohibited from accepting fees.
The Office of the state auditor is
right much of a family affair. as at
present conducted, the auditor, two
sons, a niece, a nephew and broth
er-in-law being employed in the office,
and all drawing pay from the state,
while one son draws pay from the
United States at the same time. IN
GLIDING the pay of the auditor, the
payroll of the Office amounts to $3.50
a month, of which SS69.70, or consid-
erably more than one-third of the to-
tai, goes into the family OF the audi
tor Leaving the auditor out OF con-
sideration, the payroll of the employees
of the office amounts to $1,974.9l, Oh
which $494.70, or more than fourth,
goes into the auditors family.
The auditors payroll for August
shows that his son, Guilford Darst. is
on the payroll for $4,000 year. and
that in August he also drew 1850
additional, making total for the
month of $254.70 At the same time
the same Guilford Darst draws $3.50
a wear from the United States as
retired naval officer He was retired
March %, 1911, on account OF dear
ness and has been on three-fourths
pay ever ince at the rate of $3.50 a
year.
The August payroll shows that Z.
H. Hetzel, a nephew of the auditor
draws pay at the rate OF $loo z
month, while his niece, Grace NJ. Hef
eel, is on the payroll at the rate O.
$50 a month.
In addition to these persons, an
other son of the auditor is employed
in the Office but is not on the pay
roll He is understood to receive SGT
a month from the contingent FUND. "A
brotherin-law of the auditor Is also
employed, but he is not on the payroll
and probably receives his pay In ths
same way. Is 1t any wonder Auditor
Darst wants the support OF Progress
sives?

West Virginia and 80 cents in TndA
ana; and the Fifth Reader Al cents in
West Virginia and 40 cents in Indi-
ana.
Exchange Prices Also Higher.
When an old book is exchanged by
pupil and new book is bought the
book companies make an exchange
price which is fixed in each contract
The exchange price on these same
readers, or the price which the pur-
chaser pays for them in addition to
giving up the old books Is as follows:
First. IL cents in West Virginia and 6
cents in Indiana second, Is cents in
West Virginia and 10 cents in Indi-
ana; third, 20 cents in West Virginia
and Is cents in Indiana: fourth, 20
cents in West Virginia and 25 cents in
Indiana.
These are samples OF the differences
In prices between the West Virginia
and the Indiana contracts. 1t would
seem to be Objectionable enough to
change the entire school book system
at the expense Of the book buyers
without increasing the cost of the
books to West Virginia purchasers
above the price at which they are sold
elsewhere. Every head of the fam ly
who has children in school feels the
effect of this school book law and
should remember that the law was
passed by legislature Republican In
both branches and was approved by
Republican governor: that Dem
ocratic house of delegates passed a
bill postponing the change in school
books for at least two years, but it
was defeated by the Republicans in
the senate

EDITOR OGDEN'S VIEWS
AS TO DR.. HATFIELD.

One DR.. Hatfield seems to share
with A. l. Calhoun, proprietor and
manager OF various low resorts,
the dubious honor of being the
real head Of the Swisher organ
ization in Mcdowell county. Mr..
Isaac T. Mann furnishes the
money and figures in the prints as
the big boss, but Hatfield and Cal
houn round up the 1000 or 5000
negroes and dispose Of their votes.
This is all preliminary to a nota-
ton of the fact that Hatfield has
just broken into prominence by
brutally beating up a Democratic
editor, who had the temerity to
call attention to the disgraceful
social and political conditions that
prevail in Mcdowell county. After
nearly killing his man, he went be-
fore an accommodating justice OF
the peace and was fined a trifle
for his amusement
This is specimen of the men
and of the methods by which it is
expected to roll up an unprece-
denied majority for Swisher in
Mcdowell county. Hatfield, the
man-killer: Calhoun, the dive
keeper, and Whyte, the defaulting
ex-sheriff, are precious trio. They
are fit representatives of the no
BILE cause Of Swisherism and will
undoubtedly do yeonan service in
an interest with which they are
so peculiarly in sympathy

HATFIELD AND HOOPER ALIKE
Roosevelt Denounces Tennesseear
for Doing What West Virginia Re-
pubIicans Have Done.


Governor Hooper OF Tennessee is
situated identically the same as are
DR.. II. d. Hatfield and the other nomi-
nees on the Republican state ticket
In West Virginia. He is running for
Office on Taft ticket and standing
on reactionary platform. exactly as
the Republican nominees in West
Virginia are standing. He has pro-
claimed his allegiance to Taft, as the
West Virginia Republican candidates
have done. and like them is asking
for the support of the Progressives.
Theodore Roosevelt has expressed
himself as to Governor Hooper in
language that applies as well to DR..
Hatfield and his associates on the Re-
publican ticket in West Virginia, and
this is what he said:
II speak against Mr.. Hooper because
he has condoned theft Of the nomi-
nation. Are you going to vote for a
man who winks at as miserable a
theft as that of the base pickpocket
who steals your purse? Governor
Hooper is condoning that theft"

HONEST REGISTRATION
Which VIII Protect Rights Of Voters
Promised by DEM
ocrafR


THE root of every honest election
is an honest and fair registration. The
legal voters should be entitled to
register and his right should be pro-
tected so that it can be enforced in
the courts against its arbitrary denial.
On the other hand, an Illegal vote
should be an impossibilty, and the
Il gal voters should have the right to
protect themselves in the courts
against padding of the registration
lists. We pledge the people that we
will enact an honest, fair, non-parti-
san registration law, protected by Sc
we're penalties, and giving to the vot-
ers and to the people the benefit OF
the greatest publicity. democratic

 TAME AFFAIR

The primary election Tuesday was tame event very little in terest being shown. Through out the state it is doubtful if fifteen percent of the voters cast their ballot. The total number of votes cast in Holbrook was 25; while in Winslow 86 votes were boiled. The votes in other precincts was proportionate.
 There was no occasion for tb be Republicans and Progressives to vote as these ballots had only the required number of candidates. Late returns indicate that of the seven democratic candidates Geo. Babbitt, Wiley E. Jones and w. T. Webb were the n0mi- nees for presidential electors.

Alaskan Travellers
 Pass Through Town

Like a memory of the days of '98, when men from every walk of life dared the perils of the Yukon and ''mushed" with their hardy malmoots through the wilds of the frozen north. Smith brothers with their seven up"
 dog team passed through town Friday on their way to Phoenix and from there to Sacramento, California, where their trip through every state in the Union ends. They started with a dog team from Nome. Alaska. in 1904. and so far have travelled 45, 300 miles in six years and eIght months Ona wager of $25,- 900 that they could travel with a dog team and visit every Capitol in the union in seven years. Only one Alaskan dog remains in the team. Smith brothers were the first mail carriers in Alaska. The outfit which the dogs haul is an old dog sled mounted on wheels.
