Republican Minority Leader Mann
voiced the universal good wishes OF the
members of the House yesterday to-
wards Miss Jessie Wilson, when. after
the adjournment of Congress, he pro-
posed that the members chip in and
send her a substantial wedding gift. His
proposal was taken up with acclaim by
the Representatives present, and Speaker
Clark announced that he would appoint
a committee to arrange the details of
the gift. 1t is to be an unofficial gift in
a way. and no set amount will be asked
from each Representative.
II is certain that a good sum will be
raised, and the gift probably win be a
pearl necklace or a silver service.

To Successful Candidates
Gentlemen, we congratulate you

You have desired public Office and majority of your
fellow citizens have agreed and united in conferrng it
upon you. To the newly elected sherfs assessors
stables mayors, councmen and members of the Legisla
ture, give good wishes and pledge loyal sup
port.
But remember gentlemen first of ALL that you are
not elected for life. few months years will pass by
and you will have made your record and will give place
to Others Even a lifelong office holder like Governor
McCreary the end of his period of author
hy.
And remember, secondly, that your not appointed
for your advantage but to the public interests
Most OF you will take solemn oath promising exercise
the powers of your Office unsehshly and impartiay The
biggest service Grover Cleveland performed for his
try in leaving the simple maxim Public Office is
public trust
And in the third place. remember that faithful Of
fee holder has always hard job If he attends consc
entously the duties of his Office it great deal
of drudgery and hard work; and, more than that, it
great deal of criticism and vexatious opposition
from your fellow citizens Whether you do right or
whether you do wrong great many people will blame
you. The only way is to try to please God and your
conscience.
All good citizens should rally to the support Of every
office holder who is trying to do his duty. If you think
he makes mistake, tell him personally and conhden-
tally; but try give commentator and support to every
faithful magistrate.

THE GREAT PROBLEM OF THE
MOUNTAIN COUNTIES.
Second article by Professor smith,

In a previous article il was shown
that the great problem in the noun
tains is the food problem. At the
present time the mountains do not
produce nearly all the food re-
quired by the mountain people. Our
good money has TO be sent out OF
the state for canned goods, pork
and other supplies.
And there are more people TO
feed. And our game is gone, and
our lumber nearly gone, and our
minerals cannot be eaten, and will
give money to but few.
Another resource that has been
greatly abused is the land. You
must not suppose that all the land
has been abused. II has not, for
there are as good farmers among
the mountains as can be found else
where. But take the whole region
over, the land has not been built up
very we'll and much of ii has been
almost worn out. Many field will
not produce one fourth as much to-
day as il would twenty-five years
ago. New fields have been cleared
up and the old worn out fields have
