Bad Spoilers.

The recent revival in America of
that admirable educational device,
the spelling bee, is none the less 10
be welcomed because we are not, per-
haps, so inferior in orthography to
our grandfathers as pessimists would
have us believe.
Some years ago a group OF horrible
examples of the bad spelling suppos-
ed to be then prevalent was going
the rounds of the American press./
"A young lawyer in a country
town." the pessimist of half cen
tury begins, "one morning locked his
office door, and left upon it this mys-
terious sentence:
Icon to braxfus.'
\ In Pittsburg the foreman Of a
Jury handed up to the judicial bench
a communication thus addressed:
To the onerable gug.'
The proprietor of a country store
worked himself nearly into brain
fever endeavoring to interpret note,
presented by the son of one of his
important customers:
Mister Cream, Wunt you let my
boay hev a pare of ely toad shuz?'
He was, however, somewhat less
Mortified than the schoolmaster to
whom a prospective pupil brought a
note from his father that began:
81 have decided to inter my boay
in your seoul.
And it was not to a bear, but to
the bearer of note presented to a
druggist that the note had reference.
It ran:
"'Please give the bare sumpthing
to physic him 5 sense worth. -

Byrres Out West.

CONGRESSMAN Jas. F. Byrnes is now
out West with the committee on
mines and mining, and they are in
yestigating conditions in Colorado,
where there has been some labor
trouble in the past. Under the head
ing, Real Investigators, the Trlnl-
dad, Colorado, Chronicle-News, of
Friday, February goth, has the fol-
lowing to say:
Time was when congressman LETT

pedition that the event was accepted
as an excuse to sidetrack the dull
routine of public life and enjoy
blissful, care-free period of delight
full idleness at the expense of the gov
ernment. On such occasions a con-
gresham, who is only human like
the rest of us, has been known to
spend one hour a day Investigating
and twenty-three hours of sightsee-
ing and pleasure junketing. But five
States of the Union, Illinois, South
Carolina, Montana, Tennessee and
West Virginia have elected at some
time or other representatives who
are real Investigators.
THE congressional committee
since entering the State of Colorado
ten days ago have had but few Idle
minutes. They have eaten and slept
with the investigation. They are
here to work and not to play-to &C.
complish something and to make
when they get back some kind of
report. It's true that a day or two
ago the distinguished gentleman

enough to visit the coal camps and
meet military Munchausen who did

truth. They are men of wide ex-
perience in public affairs. men or un-
questionable integrity, men who
stand at the head of their individual
professions and who stand we'll at

McCutcheon fame would remark.
"They are sociable and compan-
ionable fellows They are not Of the
stiff-backed, unbending type. They
are men of the people At the board
ing house at Hastings Wednesday
afternoon they dug their fork prongs
into steaks with the relishing zest of
hungry cowpuncher and dispensed
pleasantries like the good fellows
they are. Representative Brynes
made up to the boarding house
baby, scraped his feet. when he en-
tered and bowed low to the waitress
that served him his tea. He carried
his South Carolina courtesy right in

Last Saturday afternoon we stood
in front OF our place of business for
about five minutes, and we never saw
so many drunk negroes in a short
space of time before. There was
large crowd of negroes in town, and
it seemed to us that one out of five
who passed along was nearly drunk.
What is to become of the negroes in
this country if whiskey drinking
among them does not decrease, is a
problem.

Fifteen or twenty years ago there
was not so much liquor drinking
among the negroes, but the habit
seems to have assumed alarming pro-
portions in the past few years. We
shudder to think what it will be
ten years from now if the habit
among them continues to increase.

Stevenson q Power.
Then it would not surprise polltl-
cal observers to witness still another
entrant into this race in the person
of Representative W. F. Stevenson
of Cheraw. In fact, Mr.. Stevenson
has told friends in the past few days
that he is considering entering the
race. He is we'll known all over the
State and is public speaker we'll
able to hold his own on any stump
with any opponent. His hold on the
people, his friends point out, is Illus
trated in his reelection from Ches-
terfield county last election in the face
of the fact that Chesterfield went
several hundred majority for the
governor. This is another possible
wedge calculated to split into still
smaller factions the administrative
and the anti-administrative of South
Carolina. If the Evans and Steven
son wedges rip open and break up the
two factions the race will be hard
to forecast with any accuracy.
A four-cornered fight between
Smith, the governor, Evans and Stew
enson would make race the like OF
which has never been seen in South
Carolina, it is believed. Four better

Legislature is all this matter? The
common opinion has been that the
legislature is portion of the govern
ment, of the state. Upon what meat
has this our Caeser fed that he has
grown 30 great? I believe that the
concept of the people of Ohio is
that the legislative branch of the
government is coordinate with the
executive and they view with alarm
and will punish with unerring
retribution all attempts to swal-
low up the legislature in the ex-
ecutive. The present state admin
stration promised the people home
rule in government and home rule in
taxation. 1t has deprived the peo-
pie of both these rights. It has con-
stantly engaged in machine building
at the expense of the tax payer. The
executive has encroached upon the
legislative until the General Assemb-
ly has become mere rubber stamp.
One man power seems to be the dom
inant note in the song of the present
state administration. All those who
are opposed to this system of autocra-
tis rule should unite without regard
to former differences, forget past
contests and this year win a tremen-
dous victory for government by the
people in Ohio.
