XKW YOKK, Dec. 2.1.- Keferce
I.arremoro hnx-ing recommended it,
it was considered certain todny that
the supremo court would Brant n de
cree to Mrs. Kntliorino Blahe, sep
arating her from her husband, Dr.
Jos. A. Wake, tho snrgeon, and
making financial provision for her
from tho doctor's income.
Though the evidence showed that
tho Ulnfccs, living in adjoining
house, had not entered one anoth
er's homes since 1910, tho reason
for their estrangement was not
inndo clear.
No reference was made during the
hairing to Mrs. Clarenco II. Mne
kay, whom Mrs. Hlnkc sued some
time ago for $1,000,000, charging
her with alienating Dr. Blake's af
fections. Tho Mnckav suit wns
dropped without explanation.

BfHIS'COUNMIN
THE CARABAO
PUESTDEN'P WILSON'S roimmund of tho officers of
" the Caralmo society was well merited. Tito jokes and
jibes upon their eonuiinndiug officer, tho of fort to bring
into ridicule and disrepute policies they aro sworn to up
hold, was not only a broach of discipline, but extremely
disgraceful.
The affair cannot be compared to the Christinas jinks
indulged in bv such organizations as the Gridiron club, or
by our owip university club, as such organizations have
no official connection with their victims, and arc at liberty
to satirize the world if they choose. There can be no com
parison. -Ifrlie county clerk, sheriff, district attorney and mem
bers of the jury panel indulged in a jinks ridiculing and
belittling Judge Calkins and satirizing bis policy in cases
ou trial before the court, the offense would be similar to
that Of tlie 'Carabao society "Would reprimand place the
judge in the ,Vold woman" class?
s' iTerc is tlVe'federargoverniuent trying to give the Kili
nnos a square deal and the representatives of the army
and navy singing songs to damn them. The efforts of the
administration to let the Mexicans settle their own trou
les and prevent a bloody and needless war are ridiculed
as "piffle'' by the administrator's sworn supporters.
A joke is a joke, but it is no joke for oflicials to un
patriotically belittle their chief. As President Wilson
well says:
"What aro we to think ot officers of the army and navy who regard II ns
'fun to bring their official superior Into ridicule ami policies of the govern
ment they aro sworn to servlo with uuqucstlonltiK loyalty Into contempt'
If this Is their Idea of fun, what Is their Ufa of duty? If they do not hold
loyalty ab'ovo all silly effervescence of childish wit. what about their pro
fession do they hold sacred?
""My purpose in administering this reprimand Is to recall the men re
sponsible for this lowering ot the standard to their Ideals, to remind them
of the high conscience with which they ought to put duty above personal
Indulgence nnd to think of themselves ns responsible men nnd as trusted
soldiers, even while amusing themselves ns dlners-out."
IT ALL
I
T is evident that members of the city administration
believe in the right of petition when their own inter
ests arc concerned- even though they deny to the people
they represent such right.
The petition requesting a change in the postoffico site
is headed by Mahlon Purdin, mayor of Medferd: J. T.
Sunnnerville, president of the city ceuncil: George. W.
Porter, city councilman, and J. "W. Mitchell, city council
mana majority of the administration, who have used
their official positions to lend the petition the appearance
of official protest. Their right to sign as individuals is
unquestioned thoir use of their positions is in question
able taste, as they are representatives of all the people
not of a faction.
The petition for tliG appointment of C. E. Gates -as
mayor presented the council was promptly thrown into the
waste basket. Advantage, of a technicaiitv was taken to
prevent the people voting upon the petition taking off
salaries from the mayor and council.
It will be interesting to
council upon the recall petitions when filed. If techni
cality can prevent, it is dollars to doughnuts the council
will prevent a vote upon thcSc petitions.
The city administration evidently believes in the right
of petition only when their own interests arc affected
favorably thereby.

Egg Laying Period
Tho majority ot tho hens that con
tinued to lay through July, August,
and into September had been hatched
early tho prececdlng year, tho ob
vious reason being that tho early
hatched chickens developed hotter,
and camo into laying in n more vig
orous condition than did the late
hatches.
Tho heavy breeds laid fewer oggB
during the setting nnd hatching-season
than did tho Leghorns, being
raoro "broody" than were tho Leg
horns, and their laying being Inter
rupted by trying to set. Howovor,
In JaU.Oqtober. and ovn into Novow,

Mary Rouillct is tho whole faculty
