Kight governors count 'em, eight
have organized themselves into a
KooawVait third term league, and
om now ui: ii the republican con
.'ntion they devote most of their
I DM in organization in their respect
ive states in belmlf of the man frcm
Oyster Bay. These eight governors,
with possibly on or two exceptions,
are candidates for continued political
preferment. They are each actuated
by personal ambition. And In devot
ing themselves 'o this work they
must necessarily neglect their duties
and stultify themselves in the eyes of
the people who elected them.
There was a time when the gover
nor of a state enjoyed dignity and
honor only a little less than that of
the president of the republic. There
have been governors who made great
and honorable names for themselves
by virtue of their devotion to their
people and their high ideals of states
manship. Are there any really great
governors in this country today? Hotv
many are there who, by virtue of
their official standing and labors, will
be known in history?
The governorship of a state has
degenerated into a common political
job. No longer ia the modest citizen
scught out and exalted to the execu
tive chair because of his character or
patriotism. Today it is the practical
politician, the political boss, the ma'
chine oiler who gets the job. And
one? te gets it, he considers it only
as a stepping stone to something
else. Governor Stubbs of Kansas is a
fair example of the modern governor.
He is rich, ambitious and has nothing
to do but indulge his political ambl
tlon. Since he has been governor he
has done nothing to make his ad
ministration distinguished for sound
statesmanship He has been busy day
and night In and out of the state set
tin? political pegs. He is now spend
ing practice lljr of hiar time Iboonfing
a candidate for the presidency when
tie should be at home attending to the
business he was elected to attend to.
These governors who are devoting
themselves to booming Roosevelt
were elected by the republican party
of their respective states. In several
Instances they were elected on the same
ticket with President Taft. They owe
their success to the republican party
and not to any faction of it Yet they
are now engaged in sowing the seeds
of strife and in making the party im
potent against its enemies. They are
traitors to the national organization
and are working energetically to
bring out a candidate against the lo
gical and rightful head of the part; .
They are using their official positions
conferred upon t'iem by republican
"voters to defeat -mibHcan success In
the nation. Kansas City Journal. ,

Instead, Mrs. DeWitt is said to be j

There was still the divorce to be

hearing. It had been planned to Save
the wedding here, but when Judge
Sapp prohibited Mrs. De Witt from
marrying again for six months that
caused a change in the plans.
A reception was given instead or
the wedding, so the guests were not
entirely disappointed. Preparations
were made at once to start to Califor

performed.
"But I couldn't think of going way
out there and leaving mamma at home

Mr. Kay.
A number of friends gathered at the
house to wish the partv a pleasant

Ray quarreled.
Mrs. DeWitt said Mr. Ray was a

For hundreds of year It has been
the custom in China to reckon the
days of the year by the lunar calen
dar, each year having 3C0 days, and
the months having 29 or 30 days, as
the case might be. In every 19 years
there are seven years which have 13
months. This is not quite correct, so
the Chinese adopted the expedient of
slipping in an extra month every third
year so as to keep the seasons In
place and the years running smoothly.
The adoption of tne Gregorian cal
ei;dar doubtless will be welcomed by
all Chinese scholars. Heretofore,
