Elkton-Former Governor Austin
Lane Crothers died at the home of his
nephew, State Senator Omar D. Croth-
ers, after an illness which developed
during the closing days of his admins
tration. Bright's disease, complicated
with a leak of the heart and other all
ments, fastened his death.
His relatives and friends were pre-
pared for the end, as his recovery was
practically declared to be impossible
after a visit to him by DR.. McCrea, Of
Johns Hopkins Hospital, Baltimore,
about the middle of April. Governor
Crothers was then declared to be suf.
fcring with Bright's disease, an opinion
in which his local physician, DR.. Cav
ley, concurred.
While robust in appearance Cover
nor Crothers was never a strong or
healthy man.
Several brothers died before they
reached the fiftieth milestone, and for
years he feared that he would not long
survive after he had passed his fftieth
birthday. That birthday came on May
II, 1910. He never fully recovered
from an attack of typhoid fever, which
sent him to his bed in August, at the
beginning of his gubernatorial cam
paign in 1907.
He did not leave his sick bed until
after his election in November of the
same year While Governor he was
prudent and carefully safeguarded his
health.
He never touched stimulants and
avoided social functions and dinners.
His only dissipation Yves & dry smoke.
His favorte diet was buttermilk,
apples and apple pies. When he ate
too heartily remonstrance came from
his stomach During the four years
when he was Governor he had fire.
quent attacks of illness which compell-
ed him to remain indoors.
His last public appearance was at
Annapolis during the closing days OF
the legislature. That he was then
sick man was apparent to his friends.
He had not visited his law office in
Elkton for several weeks, except two
OF three times before his death.

Plea for Short Public PRAYERS.

In an article against long sermons
Rev. Edwin w. Caswell says in the
Northwestern Christian Advocate that
christ's prayers and sermons were ex-
ceedingly short and that "all his talks
and discourses during ministry Of
three years, which are published in
the New Testament, could be deliv-
cred in 40 minutes. If ministers Of
today would follow his example, they
would never pray in public more than
three or five minutes nor preach be-
yond a half hour" He adds that
many ministerial orators have nearly
ruined their careers owing to the lack
of terminal facilities"

Great honor to the veterans who

-"BillY" SUNDAY.

Special Dispatch 20 the InteIliRencer.
MORGANT0WN. W. Va. March "a.
Among the staunch supporters or
President Taft in Monongalia county,
none command more influence than
Judge Frank Cox. Judge Cox was
born in Monongalia county, the son
of a distinguished Republican, he has
lived all his life in that county. and
has for twenty years been actively
influential in public affairs. His high
rank as lawyer and confidence OF the
public generally in his ability give him
a commanding and influential position
locally. To a representative OF the
lntelligencer, who requested Judge
Cox to make statement OF his prefer
ences in the presidential contest. he
spoke as follows:
Under present conditions. I believe
that President William Howard Taft
should be renominated and reelected.
His administration has been earnest.
able. progressive and statesmanlike.
He has richly earned the right to a
second term. / believe in progressive
staeesmanship and leadership. In the
last ten or fifteen years the industrial
world has undergone an almost COM
plete revolution. Vast combinations
formed. In order TO prevent such com.
binations from becoming too infiu-
entail in the affairs OF government,
and from securing more than their
share OF profit from legitimate indus
try by restraint OF competition, Il is
necessary that new methods and meas
ures be adopted by the government.
but this does not require the abandon
ment OF constitutional government.
Il have been a great admirer of Col.
Roosevelt. and have considered him
available timber for the presidency
until the delivery OF his Columbus
speech. in which he declared for the
recall OF judges. and especially for the
recall Of judicial decision.
Recall of Judges
! cannot believe In the indiscrimin-
ate recall of judges. This would per-
NIT the recall OF the Just as well as
the unjust Judge. the upright as well
as the unworthy. However, I am in
clined 10 think that an easier and
more speedy method of impeachment
for the corrupt or incomp petent Judge
shCuld be provided. This could easily
be done BY establishing a tribunal for
the hearing and determination % i'm
