When He Became Governor

When He Became Governor
 Mrs. Marshall's loyal devotion was rewarded. Her husband as was his wont, had been extremely frank in his stump speeches. telling his audiences.
 Although I am running for Gov. cinor on the Democratic ticket T an, no mans man--neithel- the brewers nor the prohibitionists'. intend giving the State honest government; to be the Governor of the Republicans as well as of the Democrats h9,-o q good law practice, and if you men don't want me you can bet all th. money you have that I don't want +t,e office. either, for which I am 9 ca, didate.'
 The truth was that the candidacy had been foisted upon him by q mild compulsion by leaders. who saw in him the only salvation for their party at that time.
 Politicians warned me that I bIun- dered whenever I opened my mouth" said MT Marshall. Was there nva, such fool of a candidate?' they said among themselves and to me too In signs, if not in so many words. But I knew that I was going to be elected l never doubted it except once. and that was after the vote had been cast The wires got crossed in bringing the news to my house and at midnight said to Mrs. Marshall The battle is lost, I guess Then I went to bed. In a few minutes I was asleep. At , in the morning Mrs. Marshall awolze me and exclaimed joyfuHy, Governor Marshall, let me be tue first to con. gratulate you"
 MT. Marshall admits that the love of talking is a weakness which he makes no effort to resist.
 My wife tells me-" he said, that 1 am as Willing and prcCipitate in regard to talking as was the negro laundress to whom Sam wanted to propose. Sam lacked the courage to do so face to face, so he called her up by tele- phone.
 Is that you, Maude?' he asked Tn his confusion he neglected to tell her who he was.
 Tt sure is,' was Maude's reply.
 "'Will you marry me?' Sam next inquired.
 "Yes,' Maude yelled back instantly; who's talkin'?'
 Mrs. Marshall says that when any one asks me if I will converse I ex- claim, Certainly; what do you want me to converse about?'"

A Neutral Nimrod

MT. Marshall was at one time moved by "call of the wild' to take up a fishing rod. So, he and Mrs. Marshall went forth to fish on the Lake of Pe- toskey.
 Mrs. Marshall caught fine string of perch and pike. I got five dog fish. have never f1shed since, win never fish again.
 Whether this resolve was based upon the horror of inflictfng pain un. necessarily upon animals or disappoint- ment in not having done better in his catch, MT. Marshall did not make clear. Probably the former reason is the correct one, for he has said, "I wouldn't step on a worm if I could help it." And certain it is also that he never hunts, presumably for the same reason.

I make bold to insert in the Record some elements of the creed which l have adopted in this period of retro spection and introspection? It does not embrace what I know, but holds part of what I believe
 q have faith that this Government of ours was divinely ordained to dis close whether men are by nature fitted or can by education be made fit for self-government; to teach Jew and Greek, bondman and free alike, the eS- sentiaI equality of all men before the law and to be tender and true to hu' manity everywhere and under all cir cumstances. To reveal that service is the highest reward of life. I cannot believe otherwise when I read the words and recall the sacrifices of the fathers. If ours is not the Golden Rule of government, then Washington wrought and Lincoln died in vain.
 First Dutv-Patriotism
 T believe that the world, now ad- vancing and now retreating, is never theless moving forward to a far-off divine event wherein the tongues of Babel will again be blended in the Ian guage of a common brotherhood; and 1 believe that I can reach the highest ideal of my tradition and my lineage as an American-as a man, as a cttl- zen and as a public Ofticial-when judge my fellow men without malice and with charity, when I worry more about my own motives and conduct and less about the conduct of others. The time I am liable to be wholly wrong is when I think I am abso- 1utely right. In an individualistic re- public I am the unit of patriotism and if I keep myself keyed in unison with the music of the Union, my fellow men will catch the note and fall into time and step.
 q believe there is no finer form Of government than the one under which we live, and that I ought to be willing to live or die. as God decrees, that 1t may not perish from the earth through treachery within or without and I believe that though my first right is to be a partisan, my first duty, when the principles on which free government is based are being strained, is to be a patriot and to fol low, in 6 wilderness of words, that clear call which bids me guard and defend the ark of our national cove nant."

The South's New Day.

When every farmer in the South
shall eat bread from his own fields
and meat from his own pastures

enslaved by no debt, shall sit amid
his teeming gardens, and orchards
and vineyards, and diaries. and
barnyards. pitching his crops in his
own wisdom and growing them in
independence. making cotton his
clean surplus, and selling it in his
own time. and in his chosen mar
ket and not a bidding-getting his
pay in cash and not in receipted
mortgage that discharge his debt.

then shall be breaking the fullness
of our day"

RED CROSS NEEDED.
Gives More Aid Than Ever to Serv-
ice Mems Families. 81.

Gives More AID han Ever TO Serv-
ice Mems Families a.
More than double the amount of
money normally spent per month for
the relief of families of service men
was spent during the month of Au-
gust by the Gulf Division of the
American Red Cross, according to a
statement made Saturday by Harry
L. Hopkins, director of Civilian Re-
lief Up to August, 1919, a total of
STA, 624.76 had been spent for this
work in Alabama, Louisiana and
Mississippi. During August $12,-
264.25 was spent for the same pur-
pose in these states.
This makes a total" said Mr.
Hopkins, "of 1926, $500 expended
for the relief of families of soldiers
in the Gulf Division, of which sum
tenth was spent during the month
Of August. The reason for this is
primarily the fact that most able
bodied soldiers are discharged by this
time and are fully able to take care
of their families themselves. Those
those who are still in the hospitals
and who can do nothing for the per-
sons dependent upon them.
"a very significant feature of this
report Is the striking manner in
which it emphasizes the need for the
continuation of the Red Cross work
even in times of peace. Obviously,
if we are spending more for the re-
lief of soldiers families in August
nearly year after the ending of the
war-than we were during the war
itseif, our work Is far from finished.
incidentally, this Home Service
work is only one branch of the ire
mendous Peace Time program which
the Red Cross has mapped out for
itself. The other departments are
fully as important to the welfare of
every community in the Gulf states
1t is for this reason that the Red
Cross is holding third annual roll
,all this year, November 2 to IL.
By the way, it may interest your
readers to know that the Gulf Divi-
sion, which includes Alabama, Louis
ana and Mississippi, is the only d:vi-
sion in the entire country in which

and information to 1892 families

Woman Jury'S Verdict.

A woman in Cleveland who had
abandoned her husband and three
children for the sake of another
man, asked the court to assign a
woman jury to try her case. as only
women, she said, would understand
some things in love. The court
swore in eight women to advise
him in the case, but not az a jury,
as there was no law for it. The
women indicated their sense of
justice by voting seven for the con-
viction of the woman and her man
friend, and one for acquittal on the
ground that the evidence was cir
cumstantial. The majority recon-
mended the woman to mercy on ac-
count of her infant, the husband to
pay for the children's support until
such time as the woman should
prove herself a fit mother.

ENGLISH is COMMON TONGUE.
Chinese Girls Learn II to Talk to One
Another

Chinese women students in the Iung
Flu College. Picking, China, are obliged
to learn English in order to talk with
one another because Of the different
dialects used by the student body.
Girls from the extreme western
provinces of China, who attend the
school, must remain in Picking during
all OF the eight years required for
their high school and college train
ing, because to return each summer
would require six weeks for the trip
one way and would cos. more than
trip to America and return.
Girls from each of the western
provinces speak a different language
and they cannot understand one an
other any more than they can the girls
from northern, southern, eastern or
central provinces. Hence. they have
adopted English as a common tongue.

PARIS MAY DAY
AMUSES YANKS
Show for Doughboy, With
Mobs, Fights, Battles
and Everything.
by WILLIAM ALLEN WHITE.

Paris. May MAY Day in Paris
was doughboy show, celebrated by
thousands resembling great brown
grasshopers. American soldiers COW
cred the fountains in the Place De La
Concorde. mounted on the guns and
swarmed up the base of the Obelisk
They smeared their brown over
statues in all the French provinces
and watched French troops herd the
mob through the great squares.
A huge mob formed before the
Madeline and on the steps were blue
ranks of French troops. and behind
the troops. on the bases of pillars and
clinging to the columns. were Amer
lean soldiers who had been ordered to
stay off the streets and remain in
doors.
At every corner from the Place De
Republic to the Arch of Triumph
American military police were looking
after the thousands of American SOL
diers and civilians who were out hunt
ing for revolution.
Every Branch Represented.
In great crowds that gawked from
the BastiIe to the Bois de Bologne
were thousands of Americans. repre-
senting every branch of service and
all auxiliary services. Red Cross hats,
Y. NJ. c. A. bonnets, Crillon experts ir
civilian clothes and all sorts of fight
ing folks from American ranks min
to see the show.
1t was really a family revolution.
Father and mother and girls made up
much of the crowd. There was blood
shed; troops used their scabbards and
in few cases their bayonets. and once
or twice they fired. but still it was
purely a family revolution which did
not really revolve.
But it gave the American doughboy
the opportunity of his young life to
see the Paris mob come out. and
everywhere the American soldier
drank his fill. He colored every crowd
and gave to the French a touch of
gayety-an American touch of ribal-
dry and impudence that made this
May Day demonstration a curiousiy
meaningless affair.
Quito Harmless Mob.
As crowd it was big enough to
overturn, the government, but the
spirit of the crowd was without sting
or rancor.
Even when the mob both boohed
and cheered Wilson and sang the in
ternational hymn of Socialists it was
still a good-natured crowd and casual
ties were entirely unnecessary, en-
phasizing only the stupidity of both
police and soldiers.
