soon after his Induction into Office, Gov
ernor Mann wisely took the people in
to his confidence, revealing to them
the true state OF the public finance.
Tho financial path which he has had u
tread has been one OF the most diff-
cult which ever lay before any Gov
ernor of this State, but he has con-
sistently laid bare to the public his
knowledge of the financial affairs OF
the Commonwealth. In urging .hnt
appropriations should mot ONLY be
we'll within the resources OF the
state, but should provide for tho ac-
cumulation of surplus OF not less
than 100000" tho Governor has ad
hered to his policy of publicity, urging
2 conservative and economical nnan-
clal policy on the part of the LoEisla-
tnre. The limit which he would place
on appropriations for the next two
Years is sane and wise.
In HIS declaration that "thc prison
population must be prontably employ

petition with free labor" Governor
Mann sets Up m ideal TO Which all
aspire but how can the prisoners be
probably employed withou, competing
with free labor? II seems TO us that
the best use TO which they could he
put would be breaking rock for tho

OF the prisoners demands that suitable
employment be given them, and the
use of such unfortunatcs for private

Missouri Loses Miss Lyme.

Kansas City, Mo-, Nov. 18.-Mis-
souri, has lost Felice Lyme. 1
Judge Van Valkenhurqh in the Fed
eral Court this morning decided in
the case Of Oscar Hammerstein
against the singer, Miss LYME, is
neither a citizen of Missouri nor is
she an alien, and that the local Fed
eral Court has no original jurisdic-
ton to entertain the action brought
by Hammerstein against her.
Judge Van Valkenburgh added
that though this may deny Hammer
stein the right to litigate the differ
ences between himself and Miss Lyme
in any Federal Court it cannot alter
the situation
Judge Van Valkenburgh's opinion
does not go into the merits of the i'm
presario's suit against the singer.
The question settled is merely a
constitutional one.
If Mr.. Hammerstein is more inter-
ested in pursuing his constitutional
inquiry than in getting the money
Miss Lyme earned he can take the
plea of jurisdiction to the United
States Supreme Court.
If he is more interested in getting
the money he can begin in the begin
ming again in a state court.

Progress of Dredging Work

The Albright dredging machine
which is engaged in cutting a new
ditch across the Aver bottom from
the Missouri Pacific railroad to a
point on the river near Nyhart, will
finish its work within the next week,
according to the owner OF the ma
chine, who was in town this after
noon. The bridge over this ditch on
the west Rich Hill-Butler road is also
nearing completion, but it will be
several weeks before that road can
be used, as it is the intention to tear
out the big steel bridge over the
main ditch as soon as the smaller
bridge is completed, and replaced it
with a larger and more substantial
one. Rich Hill Review.

NEW OFFICE JAN. 13
Governor Elect Not Superstitu-

ed on ''HOOdOo" Date.

With Administration and Legislature
Democratic People May Expect
Good Laws
jefferson City, NO., Nov. 8.-The
The next Legislature is supposed
to convene Wednesday, January 8.
The Inauguration Of Gov.-Elect
Major takes place Monday, January
10. Gen. Major is not superstitious
and therefore the date of the day he
is to assume office is not worrying
him. He is writing his address.
The administration of Mr.. Major
probably will be the most business
like the state has ever had. The in
terests Of the people are to be looked
after by both by elective officials and
Mr.. Majors appointees.
The inaugural address, while it will
be to the point on all propositions the
new Governor will have to lay before
the General Assembly, will take care
of everything pledged in the Demo-
cratic State platform.
Friends of the next Governor say
that he will veto fewer bills than any
of his predecessors. With the ad-
ministration absolutely Democratic,
it is not doubted the acts of the Leg
islature will be in the interest of the
whole people.
