POLITICAL POINTERS.


for office, Governor Lister promised
again and again that If elected he
would remain on the job at Olympia
and give the people business admin
istration with strictest attention to
his duties. He scored his opponent for
what he termed unnecessary absence
from official duties and too much trav-
cling about the state.
The records show that Governor Lis
ter has violated these pledges in the
most fragrant manner. He has spent
more time travelling about the state
and less time attending to his duties
at Olympia than any other executive
In the history of the state.
In the first 20 months of his admin
istration he spent an average of but
1876 days of each month at the state
capital. The balance of the time he
was fitting about the state or the
country attending social gatherings,
political meetings and public events,
playing politics while the people payed
him literally for expenses and he drew
his salary of $4,000 year for work
|unperformed.
He has been the most expensive exc
cutive that this state has ever had. In
the first IL months of his admins
Itration he spent $5,263.4O out of funds
for mansion maintenance
and improvements, while his predeces-
h,,t to-
months. In the first two years and
three months of his administration he
spent $15,251.O0 for a like purpose as
against the $4,S39.51 expended by his
predecessor in practically the same
length of time.
Included in this extravaganza were
items of personal expense amounting
to $863.77 for the purpose which the
lattorney> general later on instructed
THE state auditor should not be allowed
This amount has not been refunded te
the state however.
Other items Of questionable prop<
Iety, to say nothing Of legality, were 6
phonograph and records, $276.25; 6
greenhouse, garage and gardeners cot
tage mot authorized by the legislature,
$5.739.S7: five gallons of oysters, SIS
humidor, $24; footman, IS: ha
(disallowed) $12, and many similar
items.
His chief economics consisted of ;
reduction of his stenographer's salar!
IOf $25 per month and reduction of sal
airy of his secretary, which was applied
on the salary of another office EN-
lploye. The reduction OF the stenog
rapher's salary was nearly offset b,
lone item alone, that of cut flower

Owensboro, KY, Sept. 22.-Miss
Julia X. Mckenzie, for more than
twenty years a Baptist missionary in

fail while she was in China. In the
fall of last year she suffered a nervous
collapse from which she never re-
covered. Upon learning of her con-
dition, the Southern Foreign Mission
Board ordered her to return to Amer
lea. She sailed from Hong Kong for
San Francisco on March 18th of this

quite an interesting programme was
carried out.
The subject, Missions in Europe, "
was discussed by Mesdames: Clardy,

We feel deeply grateful to Mrs. w.

just expired, for the faithful and con-
secrsted service she has rendered the
society for the past five years. We
recognized in her the willingness and
ability ito do" and go forward" in
this work, hence her long time of Of

by one who we believe will make an
efficient, spirited leader, and may we
all rally to her support.

GRAND JURY
PROBE TO Be
TRICK SCHEME
OF the Democratic 0ffiCehoId-
erS and Politicians to Get
Votes in the State.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 23.-The
grand Jury investigation of alleged
frauds committed at the June prl-
mary in Mcdowell and Mingo coun-
ties was started at Bluefield today
While the department of justice
sanctions the investigation, and has
designated d. 4. French to assist
District Attorney w. G. Barnhart
with it, it is the understanding IN
official circles here that Senator Chill
ton is the originator, and if that be
the case, then it appears to the oD-
servers here that it is to be anything
else except an impartial investigation
to enforce exact justice on any wrong
doors who may be found, it matters
not whether they broke the laws in
behalf of Democratic or Republican
candidates
The main purpose it is believed. is
to trump up charges against Repub'
licans, indlct some Of them If posi-
BILE. and let them remain in the
shadow of suspicion until after cleo
ton, as no trial is expected or de-
sired prior to that day. The idea
seems to be to do something to en-
barrass the Republican campaign,
hoping thereby to gain few votes
from that party for the Democratic
candidates
Privately it is whispered Senator
Chiffon sets high hopes on the effect
OF this investigation and the results
anticipated from it.

He decided yesterday that Mrs. F. o.

when court reopened today the jurist de-

of Illinois or the common law that can
keep a mother from kissing her son, even
If he is on trial for murder.
