Credit for the Poor Man
The energ if a of the Federal government are being directed 'oward
devising mrana and methodaof providing cheaper credit for th farmer
•ad oihera living in tbe'rural eommunitiea. jThe purpoae behind the
movement in worthy and no ohjectihn can l e urged againat it. The
farmer ahould be able to get money aa cheaply «a anybody. But thia do
ae not go far enough. Some method ought to he deviaed whereby the
worthy applicant who doea not have the neceaaary aeiurity can get
money at a reasonable rate of intereat. The fellow who ia down and out
tieually deaervea more sympathy than he geta. Of courae moat eaaen dT
Ulia kind are the result of incompetency or lazineas. but not altfaya.
There are many worthy peuple who would atart life over If they could

which ia compoaed of well to do men who have subscribed to a fund V)
fce used in taking care of suah caws. If a man or woman wan la assist-
ance he may apply to this society, and if found worthy, will secure suffi-
cient funds te enable him to make a new start. The only draw ba:k to
fee plan is that it is limited in its activities We need such organiza-
tions throughout the country.

Cruce and the Board of Prison Control
The Democrat is of the opinion that (Jov. Cruce ha* made a misl
in removing the members of the board of prison control who could
agree with hia idea* about the management of the state institutions.
Governor is responsible, in a large m-nse. for the management of every
department. He ia expected to see that no grave wrong is done and that
no unusual expenditures are made. But thia does not mean that he must
link into the details of every transaction snd that every other servant of
the people must subordinate his own ideas and his own judgement toeoin-
cide with the governors views. In fact the reason for the establishment
ot departments of state government is to relieve the governor of oner-
ous .lutie* it would he impossible for him to fulfill and to divide the res-
• ponsibility. If any board ahould prove itself incompetent or inefficient
it would the governors pit?rogaftive to change the membership. But
because a member of a board may differ in his ideas about the manage-
ment of his department does not justify the governor in availing himself
of the authority to dismiss an efficient officer.
In the case in point the legislature passed a special law providing
fyr the establishment of this board to manage the business end of our
penal institutions. The governor was given the authority to appoint the
members of this board. The members so appointed went about their
vork in a business like way. Atter becoming familiar with the manage-
ment of the penitentiary at McAllister the board decided it best to get
a new man at the head of the institution. Th?y called on warden Pick
to resign Right there the^ pinched the governors toes. Dick had con-
tributed liberally to th? campaign fund of the governor when he was a
candidate, and was instrumental in securing other large contributions.
at least one of them, it is reported, from an institution that benefits
largely from state contracts. The governor therefore told the two mem-
bers of }t he board who favored ousting Dick to carry out hi ideas or quit.
These men refused to follow either plan, so the governor fired them
In fitting them he aid not announce that he Ita ti done so because they
bad refused to retain l ick. but made charges of criminal liability and
incompetence. There has never been any question but what these men
could have retained the governor's good will by keeping Dick in office
Kven were they guilty of the things charged in the governor's indict-
ment everything would have worked allrigfu. But as soon as it was evi-
dent they would not follow his wishe* he r.:ts forth these charges and comfortable
dismisses thun from office.
The facl of the matter is. if they were *u : v n these charges ihe

never really noticed her. He would
not have noticed her now, perhaps,
but that a sudden jerh of the elevator
almost threw her down and as be
caught her arm he saw the half-with-
e-ed pink carnation pinned to the
bosom of her black dress.
Then he remembered. She had run
out into the street to pick up the
Mowers his love had thrown away.
"You are sure you are not hurt?"
he inquired anxiously.
She was not hurt in the lonst. she
said—it had been the merest little
Jar. The trifling accident had made
him feel that he had a right to sp« ;:k

"I see 'hat you lcve floive^s," ho
said, looking at the forlorn carna-
tion. Her face flushed a rosy red.
"Yes—I—I found this in the street."
she said, with childish candor. "I

The elevator had gone hit

sped up higher.
"Was this one all?" he found time
to ask aa the elevator paused under
the roof. She answered him <}i.:ie
seriously.
"Oh, no—there nag a whole, gre; :.

it—a letter that had been awaiting
his coming.
With an impatient sigh he opened
the letter and read:
