The memory of somf^ of the
members of the recent legis
lature will not have to be
embalmed in acohol to keep
fresh and grreen. They will keep
all right any way, but while re-
fering to this class of our worthy
citizens, we ask pardon for
adding that, the member who is
afraid of his shadow and is all
ways trimming his sails for an
other term should be thrown
over board and let it end at that,
even the ring should not be able
to over ride a wholesome public
sentiment.
There may be some doubt
about the constitutionality of
Hon. Yates ,Webbs liquor bill,
but it will take three years before
the matter can be determined by
the United States supreme court,
and in ^that time many old
soakers, thirst will have been
cured. Thirst gone, or he will
be gone, one, or the other.
Poets are the hierophants of ad un

The Cause of Rheumatism
stomach trouble, lazy liver and de

matism Charles B. Allen, a school
principal, of Svlvania, Ga., who suffered
indescribable tortue from rheumatism,
liver and stomach trouble and diseased
kidneys, writes: “All remedies failed
until I used Electric Bittors, but four
bottles of this wonderful remedy cured
me completely.’.’ Maybe [your rheu

In
the
AS TO THE SUFFRAGES.
There has been much comment
and no little criticism for the
way the womens suffrage parade
was treated in Washington the
day before the Presidents inau
guration. In the crush there
was many accidents, and some
fatalites, the whole parade was
one of disorder, and seemed to
indicate a lack of proper police
protection, in fact the matter
assumed such prominence that
Concrress was compelled to
appoint a committee to investi
gate.
No one with a proper sense of
right will approve of the apparent
neglect of the police to give the
women proper protection, but as
bad as this matter was it teaches
a lesson, and that was the
pronounced disapproval of the
whole suffragist business.
Washington City stands
capital of this nation, the day
was one preceeding in importance
one of the greatest events in
American civic life. It had
attracted to Washington people
from all sections of this country,
therefore the demonstration of
disaproval against the suffrages
must be taken as the concrete
expression of the nation. While
the police in their failure to give
to the women proper protection
was violating their oaths and
bounden duty, they were tacitly
giving expression to their
simpathy with the masses.
The fact that such a spirit of
antagonism coaid be aroused
against a crusade in the interest
of womans suffrage is proof of
its wrong. It would be folly to
assert that the men who line(J
Pennsylvania Avenue in Wash
ington City on Monday before
inauguration was men lacking in
sympathy and respect for ladies.
There was in that line up, men
who would dare to do, and die
for the protection of a true
woman, but they had nothing,
but contempt for the unsexed
petticoat hikers who were
flaunting their fool assumption
In the face of the nation at a
period when deacency,
refinement should have
their distinguishing^ trait.
We have said it before, and we
repeat it to day that the women
suffragett movement is hurting
the women of the world more
than anything else. Its a
blighting curse, a mildew of
death, to the high and holy
impulses, pure good saintly
women have inspired in men.
Should the suffragett movement
be carried to its ultimate end it
will not only sink women to
mans level, but it will push her
far below his level.
Possession.
He asked for gold.
And the world poured
Into his hands such riches manifold
He wearied of the hoard,
It made achievement slight
And cheap all gain;
Where once he took a wild delight
He knew but pain.
He asked for love.
And his blood leaped
Inecstacy; his soul was swept above
The stars, in passion steep»ed.
Yet bitter was his hsart
When once he.learned
The cruel auguish of the smart
Where love is spurned.
He asked for fame.
And soon men spoke
With awe and wonder of him, and
his name
Rang like the hammer’s stroke.
But in the echoing thrill
He caught one tone
That smote him with the warning
chill
Of death alone.
Humbly he then
Went forth to ask
That be might walk among his fellow-
men |
And take some useful task.
Amazed, he saw the years
Stretch in their plan.
He knew the meaning of life’s tears,
And woke, a man.
