STATES GOV. TERRAL

Although an opinion has been given
by the attorney general that the State
Board of Charities and Corrections
has authority under the law to grant
paroles without consulting the COVER
nor or without infringing upon his
pardoning power, Governor Terral will
not recede from his policy of keeping
all convicts in prison for the full term
of their sentence, he recently announe-
ed.
The governor takes the position that
the parole law is an infringement upon
the power of extending clemency which
is vested in the governor by the state.
constitution.
Il will not change my policy Of keep
ing convicts in prison until they serve
their full terms unless / am directed
by the courts to do So" Governor Ter
raj said. "If anybody wants to take
the matter into court to test the right
Of the governor to grant paroles, I
shall be glad to have a decision on
the subject and feel confident that my
position will be sustained"

A great deal has been said about
women as gossips. True, some women
are holy frights when it comes to sling
ing a loose tongue. But so often has
the attention been called to this pro
penslty of women that some have be-
gun to consider it as peculiar to the
sex. In our opinion, however, an idle,
loose-tongued lounge-about of a man
can do more real, vicious, meddlesOme
gossip in an hour than the longest
tongued termagant of a woman who
ever ruined pure girls character.
A little investigation will show that
all the qualifications required to pass
perfect examination into the ranks
of the gossips are an empty head, n
jealous heart and smirched soul.
Select a male and a female equally
endowed with these requisites and If
you want to bet, put your money on the
male. He will win in walk.

Many good news items are lost to
this paper because Of the modesty of
some people who hesitate to tell the
editors of matters concering them
selves. Not that they do not want the
items to apear in print, but they are
afraid they would seem to be pushing
themselves forward.
This is an unfortunate view.
From a reportorial standpoint, the
person who will stop a reporter on the
streets or call him on the phone to
tell about a trip. either anticipated or
past, marriage, friends coming or
going for visit, is the best person
alive.
If you have done anything disreput-
able or mean, it is. not necessary to
tell it, as there will be plenty who
win do that for you.
