UNIQUE CASE OF FILIAL LOVE
To Help His Mother a Penniless No
bieman "Tries" a Clown Act in
Paris Theater.

Visitors to Paris who have recently
wandered by. chance into one of the
cafe concerts" which are mostly fire.
quented by that class who neither toll
nor spin, must have been amazed and
saddened by very unusual music
hall turn, writes the Paris correspond
ent of the Brooklyn Eagle Every
night, between the sentimental ten
or and the "chanteuse legere," a
mournful looking young man appears.
! He Is greeted with derisive yells
He sings, or tries to sing, senti-
mental ballad and comic song. He
also initiates animals, the noises of
tools and the whistling of locomotives.
The effect5is SO deplorable that the
audience recently insisted on the mo-
BILE clown" apologizing for his lack Of
skill. He humbly advanced to the
,footlights and bowed to right, left and
before him. Then in a voice choked
with sobs, he began to express his re-
greet. With pathetic resignation he
went down on his knees, offered pro-
fuse apologies for his lack of skill and
promised to do his best to please them
in the future.
Few who have seen this lamentable
exhibition know it's origin and ex-.
cuse. This abject buffoonery is in.
spired by one of the noblest motives
flial love. This descendant of one of
the oldest and noblest families in Ven
lice was left alone. when very young,
with his infirm and penniless mother.
For many years they lived on the
charity of friends, but the old woman
is now in such health that admission
into an almshouse would be the only
means of saving her life, But this
cannot be obtained without the pay
ment of a certain sum, and her son
lis now employing the only means of
procuring it open to him.

THROWING MONEY AWAY.

or all the bills to be presented 10
the present legislature. u seems safe
TO predict that none will meet with
more violent opposition thar the one
designed TO place county officers on a
salary basis. County officers through.
out the state and their personal and
political rings viii constitute a power
fui lobby. 1t is enormously to their
financial interest TO prevent such a
law from being passed. but it is even
more enormously to the interests OF
the people 10 have it passed.
This is a financial question. pure and
simple. Why. for instance, should
Ohio county pay her sheriff $40. 900 a
year for work that any corporation in
Ohio county or elsewhere can get done
In a Tar more systematic way for less
than half that sum? Why should not
the extra $4,000 be spent on the roads
OF Ohio county. or in some other way
TO benefit the people who dig down in
their pockets for IL. rather than To
buy automobiles and other Injuries or
TO swell the private bank account OF
the man whom the taxpayers have
elected to office?
The same applies. in n lesser degree,
to other county officials. But we NEED
not waste our time in blaming them.
They merely take advantage OF the
law that you and | have helped to
place and keep on the statute books.
J or course they want the fee system re-
tanned. because no sane man volun.

M SUFFRAGE.

Although a national woman suffrage
law Is being agitated at Washington.
II seems hardly probable that il will
be passed at this session. Sentiment
In favor Of giving women the right to
vote has spread throughout West Vir.
GINA at such a rate that II may be
said 10 be almost unanimous. All that
remains is for our legislature TO take
the proper action. There Is no need
for West Virginia 20 walt to see
whether a national law is passed.
Some %surfragette leaders claim that
the trainers OF the constitution did not
intend TO deprive women OF the right
TO vote. We are rather disposed 10
think. however. that Benjamin Frank
lin, Samuel Adams. Thomas Jefferson
ct al. would have regarded the idea OF
women voting in about the same man
ner that they would have regarded an
airship sailing v er their assembly
hall. In other words. woman suffrage
was not an issue at thai time and such
q proposal would have been regarded
as absurd and preposterous.
This. however. is not the point. We
do not need TO think OF what the
trainers OF the constitution Intended
in this matter. They are dead and
resting in peace. We trust. They
wrought well and faithfully. but times
are changed. and with them the mon

those individuals. In it's principal
operation it benefits the empioye, tae
employer and the public.
Every industry inficts a certain
amount of physical damage upon its
employees annually. This has been re-
duced by long and careful study to IA
percentage and upon his percentage
is based the system of rates, similar to
insurance. Under the proposed plan a
small tax would be paid TO the state
by each employer and out of the fund
so created specified amounts would be
paid for death and each form OF injury.
There are other good plans. but this
one seems TO he in most general use.
In this way both employer and ON
ploye are relieved Of all legal costs
and justice is administered promptly
and effectively. The leading employ
ers OF this section have already ex-
pressed their approval of the plan. and
The I~ntelligencer believes that anS
possible opposition will be easily
traceable to motives not in accord
with the public welfare.

AReENz LOBBY RESOLUTION.

The lobby regulations provided in
b Arbenz resolution are excellent
and should result in a better under
standing between the people OF the
state and their Legislators. The aim Of
the provisions is greater publicity,
which is a good general principle
when applied to n matter concern
Ing legislators Or Legislation.
Under this resolution committee
meetings at the capitol will no longer
be secret, but open to any n who
cares to attend. This also means
that the way members vote in COM
mittee on any important question will
be published in the newspapers.
Knowing what a man Toes in a COM
mittee meeting is a far more accurate
guide to his ability and character as
a legislator than his vote on measures
that actually reach the floor OF the
house. For this reason 1t is simply a
matter OF justice TO both the people
n the legislators to rave COMMITTEES
proceedings made public.
Another reason for this publicity is
the fact that lobby" and lobbyist"
have come TO be regarded as almost
synonymous with trickery and corrup-
ton. There are good and bad lobbyists.
The good ones will be pleased TO have
publicity and IL it drives the bad ones
out Of existence so much the better.
The lobby. Of course. is not wholly a
bad thing. II is perfectly right that
the advocates of any measure should
have a hearing before the committee
when that measure is being considered.
The lobbyist often represents a large
section OF the people or very i'm
portant interests and can often supply
much; needed information. BY the
secret methods OF the past, however
these legitimate objects have been
greatly distorted. The Arbenz resoiu-
ton is certainly a step in the right
direction.
