Generals Office Loose
ly:Run.

Royal G. Johnson, who thinks
he is running for Congress
against Judge McNulty is al.
lowed one thousand dollars a
year as salary. Anybody would
think that the Attorney General
would be very anxious to run
his office as economically as
possible so long as the taxpay-
ers are footing the bills.
Since July 1st, 1913, he has
spent ~, ,15O.27 for special assist
ants and here are the warrants
from the state records:

Being attorneys fees of $780,.
: and expense of $39O27.
The above amount represents
$176O.00 as attorneys fees, and
$390.27 for expenses. Now, in
addition to this enormous ex-
pense for assistants, Harry
IO'Brien is paid salary of fif-
teen hundred dollars a year as
Assistant Attorney General and
also Acts as States Attorney for
Hyde county. Pretty soft snap!
Peter Dougherty, the man who
moved into this district to run
for Railroad Commissioner
against o. s. Opheim, who has
long been a resident of Roberts
county, draws salary of fifteen
hundred dollars year. Mr.. Al
rich is brief clerk and the man
who practically runs the attor-
ney generals office, receives
S132O.OO a year now.
No this does not include the
. travelling expenses of the attor-
ney general who is allowed by
the Legislature five cents per
mile for each mile travelled and
by using mileage he only has to
use two cents per mile, and as he
does a great deal os travelling you
can surmise how large this bill
, would be. tits no wonder the tax
es have increased PSI per cent? (see
: page Is, 1914, State Auditors
l Record) from 1909 to 1912 since
Crawford, Vessey and Byrne
were governors.
This certainly is an uncalled
for waste of the taxpayers money
throughout the state. Mr.. voter
and taxpayer, how would like to
have this man, Royal G. John
son, with such record, repre-
sent this district in Congress?-

can tell how many erstwhile
plodding, contented husbands
have been lashed into up-to-date
Macbeths by the cutting tongue
of the wife, ambitious for wealth !
and social position?
AS L was meditating sagely,
albeit somewhat sleepily, on
these questions after returning
home from the Boston Tea-Party
given by the delinquents of the
Zenith club, heard the quearest
voices saying
Double. double, toll and trouble
Fire burn and cauldron bubble
| glanced around and saw
three of the strangest figures
stirring huge cauldron which
stood in the center of the room
over a bed of glowing GOALS.
Each weird, grotesque witch
seemed to be anxious to bring
up something out of the great
kettle which would suit her par
ticular fancy for though great
numbers of dried bones tloated
to the top with each repetition
of the strange enchantment and
sweep of the broomhandles, yet
no one was satisfied and the
bones were thrown to the floor.
l arose from my chair and
curiously stood nearer, when one
of the witches suddenly seized a
bone, glanced at it and eagerly
devoured it, but not before I
saw stamped on it "All hail! hail
to thee. future county superin-
tendentn' The witch seemed to
be overcome by the mouthful;
but as she dizzily faded into the
gloom, discerned, as one some
times gets fleeting yet impress
sive glimpse of words on burn
ing letter, the unmistakable
features of Mrs. Andrews. In
tensely interested l snatched up
a wishbone from the floor which
bore these two inscriptions
Thou wouldst be great, art not
without ambition;' like Lady
Macbeth of old, Mrs. Rickert,
thou shalt give thy husband no
rest until he shall become pres
ident and make thee the first
lady in the land. "-And-
'Wouldst thou have that which
thou esteemst the ornament of
life' Thou shalt have thy desire,
Mrs. Warning, and become the
next president of the Zenith
club" Perceiving that out of
the witches cauldron had come
prophecies of the futures of nv
sister club members [ anxiously
investigated every bone in the
heap on the floor One curiously
shaped bone read Is this a
dagger which see before me, the
handle toward my hand?' Nay,
nay, Mrs. AXness, It's gavel.
Thou shalt be the first woman
speaker Of the House of Repre-.
sentatives, and as shrewd
politician thou shalt be second to
none; nay, verify, not even to
Uncle Joe Cannon. A second
read present fears are less
than horrible imaginings;' You
have no need for fear, Mrs.
Croal and Mrs. Spackman, for
very soon shall you both learn to
tango as easily and gracefully as
you desire"
Just then the second witch
flung back her streaming hair
and triumphantly snatched a
morsel from the cauldron. The
light of the glowing embers un.
der the kettle revealed the feat
ures of Mrs. Dan Knight and at
the same time the prophetic
words on her portion. Hail to
thee! all hail the future play.

~ Originator Of Famous

The 6rst o. those terrible engines OF
warfare known as the Get!inz gun
was invented in 1862 by Richard Jor

Carolina. Gatling. the son of a rich
planter, was well educated. and early
devoted himself to scientific work and
mechanical experiments. His frs. de-
vice was . screw propeller for steam
ships. on which. on applying for pat
ent. he found himself anticipated by
Ericsson. Next he contrived q ma.
chine for planting rice. whea: and 9TH
er grain in drills. which proved high.
ly successful. Having used his inven.
tive genius IN such q manner as to as
sist in feeding and preserving human
ity, he next set about the task of con.
triving a machine for killing his fel.
lows. There were crude rapid fire
guns in use when Calling turned his
attention to the subject. but they were
Of little practical value. The Calling
gun. soon led to a revolutionizing OF
artillery, and until his death the in.
ventor devoted his time almost exclu.
sively to perfecting and manufacturing
that formidable weapon. which has
been adopted by all the armies Of the
world. Tens of thousands Of graves

has taken upon the acquisition by pur-
chase Of the plot of land at Linden and
Franklin streets TO be used Tor park and

ga the proceedings for moment by re-
questing what action Mr.. Williams had

TO the President and Members Of
Council
Gentlemen. We, the undersigned
residents and taxpayers residing In
the vicinity OF the proposed piav-
ground site of the Twelfth ward.
highly commend the action taken
by Mr. Williams, our representa-
tive in Council, in reference 10 his
stand taken on the proposed play-
ground to be taken over by the
city
We think that the Twelfth ward
has sufficient Fairgrounds, com
monty known as baseball parks, in
the ward AT present, and some time
age we signed a petition recon-
mendlng the purchase of the Me-
Kay property, which Is across the
street from this proposed site,
/ Mitth Muutu HHofd playground
for the children, there being an
abundance Of shade and also
building ON the site which would
make a splendid community house.
The Fairgrounds used a. baseball
parks are IN no respect play
ground for children, as there is Ill.
Il ways danger Of children being
struck by balls We also agree
with Mr. Williams that bonding the
city for the Improvement Of streets
would be money better spent than
for additional parks.

AMUSEMENT NOTES.
Well Balanced Cast Will Present "Under
Cover" Saturday in Barre.

Selwyn & Co. who were responsible
for that other great melodramatic sue
cess "Within the Law" will present
their latest success, "Under Cover" at
the opera house on Saturday, Sept. 20
matinee and night. The play was writ
ten by Roi Cooper Megrue. IT is mel
odrama in four acts. The first act takes
place at the customs house in New York
CITY and the last three at country
home on Long Island. 1t is Mr.. Megrue's
first successful long play though he has
written a number of notable sketches
Selwyn < Co. send "Under Cover on
tour with record of thirty-one weeks
in Boston, which puts high mark for
other plays to surpass.
In selecting the company to appear
here in "Under Cover" Selwyn & Co
have been careful to see that the cast
was we'll balanced. Each character in
the play is of Importance and an exeep-
tional ensemble performance is neees'
sary to give the fullest pleasure of the
play. The company to be seen here
comes direct from it's engagement at the
Plymouth theatre. Boston, and will IN
cmde Rochelle Fellows, Mary keane
Edwin Wolfe. Josephine Park, Theo-
dore Kehrwald. Clara Louise and Roy
Ia Rue. From scenic standpoint we
are assured nothing will be neglected to
make the play satisfactory.--Ady
