A REASON WHY.
Maj. C. M. Stedmansays; oh,
so many of Mr. Simmons sup-
pogters are clamoring for the
appointment of Mr. John Olive
of Reidsville for Post Master of
that place, some one else says it
would be too small for Mr. Sim
mons to oppose Mr. * Olivers
confirmation, when tl e objection
to him is based entirely upon the
class of fight Mr. Oliver put up
against Mr. Simmons in the
primary. The Leader tries to
look at things from an honest,
and unbiased stand point, and
we fail to see the logic of such
reasoning. The President of
the United States is not expected
to appoint his political
enemies to place, or power,
although the President of the
United States is presumed to
occupy the broadest position
under this government viewed
from a political stand point, a
fact so well grounded in the
public mind that he is asked to
make no distinction even among
those of his own political faith
when exageration and misrepre
sentation has to be resorted too
to find a reason, as in the case of
Mr. Watts who is seeking the
appointment of collector. With
all the respect due to every one
interested in this matter, we
must say that Major Stedmans
recomendation of Mr. Oliver in
view of his known bitterness to
Mr. Simmons, without first
ascertaing whether such an
appintment would be agreeable
to Mr. Simmons was an agravated
affront, hardly to have been
expected of Major Stedman.
However Mr. Stedmans rec-
comendations seems to have been
the first work worth mentioning
the Majdr has found the time to
do since he begup his term in
CJongress, and drawing his salery
of $7,500 per annum. This
District seems full of Simmons
men who are complaining be
cause of the littleness in Mr.
Simmons in opposing Mr. Oliver
confirmation, but an investiga
tion reveals the fact that most
of them were of the same class
of Simmons men that Mr. Oliver
was. We have nothing personal
in this matter, but it has become
an issue that we feel at liberty
to discuss, it and in doing so will
treat it as its merits seems to
warrent.
The City of Sleep.
Over the edge of the purple down.
Where the single lamplight gleams.
Know ye the road to the Merciful
Town
That is hard by the Sea of Dreams—
Where the poor may lay their wrongs
away
And the sick may forget to weep?
But we—pity us; Oh, pity us!
We wakeful; ah, pity us!
We must go back with Policeman
Day—
Back from (he City of Sleep!
Weary, they turn from the scroll and
crown.
Fetter and piayer and plow—
They that go up t6 the Merciful
Town,
For her gates are closing now.
It is their right in the Baths of Night
Body and soul to steep,
But we—pity us! ah pity us!
We wakeful; oh, pity us!
We must go back with Policeman
Day-
Back from the City of Sleep!
Over the edge of the purple down,
Ere the tender dreams begin.
Look—we may look—at the Merciful
Town,
But we may not ever in.
Outcasts all, from her guarded wall,
Back to our watch we creep;
We—pity us; ah, pity us!
We wakeful; oh, pity us!
We must go back with Policeman
Day—
Back from the City of Sleep!
—Rudyard Kipling.
I That great mystery of ‘ Time, were

never-resting thing ^called Time, roll

all-embracing ocean tide, on which we
and all the Universe swim iike exhala
tions, like apparitions which are, and
then are not; this is forever very lit
erally a miracle; a thing to strike, us
dumb—for we have no word to speak
about it.—Thomas Carlyle.

Woman Suffrage.
“I am firmly oppsed to women’s suf
frage in Englana, and my opposition
rests chiefly upon two broad general
considerations—one, that I do not be
lieve women can fit themselves for
political life and take an active part
in it without neglecting to a disastrous
extend the even more important duties
which belong to their sex; the other,
that I am convinced that so far as the
practical advantages are concerned
which they hope to reap from their
votes these can be secured more ef
fectively by other methods. ”—sA lley-

Lord Stanhope of England says:
“It is not jfenerally recognized, I
think, tha^ although a considerable
number of women in England are con
vinced believers in tha suffrage as a
solution of a large number of real or
fancied wrongs to which their sex is
subjected, the militants tactics are to
a great extent in the hands of paid
women, who are making money out of
the agitation.
« « * *
So long as women remain a privileg
ed class the attitude of the average
man toward them will be one of an
xiety to do the fair thing by a body of
persons who are unrepresented; there
will be a general feeling of chivalrous
consideration. But the moment the
women give up t^eir position of privi
lege and take their stand upon so-call
ed rights one ir.evitable consequence
will be a lowering of the woman’s
status in social relations. Many peo
ple suggest that women will cling to
their privilc^’:. i even when they have
secured their “rights;” hut any such
effort will be unsuccessful. It would
not be playing fair, and, after all, the
sense of fair play is deeply imbedded
in the masculine mind

There is a great hurrah about
the primary, and perhaps it is
the most fair way of selecting
officials to serve in a public
capacity, but it has drawbacks,
and some of them are serious.
The fellow financialy able to
enter a primary, that is voluble
with words, can prattle a way
at a great rate, may be the
fellow that can catch the public
ear and may be win the votes,
but a more :modest man, might
be able to serve his constitency
with greater faith, and honesty.
Jack Johnson the negro pugi
list of Chicago who has had
quite a hankering for a white
wife says he is financialy broke.
If Jack had all ways been in
that condition it would have been
much better for him and his
race. . Jack has shown what a
dangerous combination money
and an unprincipal fool may
make. But after all was not the
white scoundrels that aided and
abated in the fight in which
Johnson won his money equally
responsible for the mess.
DAVID AN£6DLIATH.
The Bible Story as Told
by Billy Sunaay.
(From The Chicago Recprd-Herald.)
Evangelist “Billy” Sunday, who has
been conducting a series of revival
meetings in Wilkesbarre, Pa., recently
gave his version of the encounter be
tween David and Goliath as follows:
Saul and all of his fwns except Da
vid went off to war; they left David
at home because he was only a kid.
After a while David’s ma got worried.
She wondered what had become of his
bro^’hers, because they had’t telephoned
to her or sent word. So she said to
Dayid, “Dave, you go right down
there and sea whether they are all
right.”
So David pikes off to where the war
is, and the first morning he was there
out comes this big Goliath, a big,
strapping fellow about 11 feet tall,
who commenced to shoot off his mouth
as to what he was going to do.
“Who's that big stiff putting up
that game of talk?” asked David of
his brothers.
“Oh, he’s the whole works; he’s the
head cheese of the Philistines. He does
tnat little stunts every day.”
“Say,” said David, “you guys make
me sick. Why don’t some of you go
out and soak that guy? You let him
get away with that stuff.” He decided
to go out and tell Goliath where to
head in ■
So Paul said: “You’d better take
my armor and sword.” David put
them on, but he felt like a fellow with
a hand-me-down suit about four times
too big for him, so he shook them off
and went down to the brook and picked
up a half-dozen stones. He put one of
them in his sling, threw it and soaked
Goliath in the coco between the lamps,
and he went down for the count.
David drew his sword and chopped off
his block, and the rest of the gang
skidooed.
Evangelist “Billy” apparently be
lieves the plain people want rag-tinre
salvation.

Best Medicine for Colds,
When a druggist recommends a rem
edy for colds, throat and lung troubles,
you can feel sure that he knows what
he is talking about. C. Lower, Druggist,
of Marion, Ohio, writes of Dr. King’s
New Discovery. “I know Dr. King’s
New Discovery is the best throat and
lung medicine I sell. It cured my wife
of a severe bronchial cold after all
other remedies failed.” It will do the
same for you if you are suffering with
a cold or any bronchial, throat or lung
cough. Keep a bottle on hand all the
time for everyone ir> the family to use
