WHERE ARE TH FL "A I"'ss

One cannot fail to be impressed with
the fact that many people express them.
selves freely on subjects of which they
are very ignorant. Men take sides al
ways and many without knowing why.
The following from the Raleigh Times
states the case about as it is:
"The adjectives used on both sides re-
garding the speeches and witnesses in
the impeachment trial are notably alike.
One paper makes speech for the pro-
secutlon prominent, another a speech
for the defense. Both declare the
speeches were mastery, able and brill
liant. In this trial there have been
some good speeches made, but they
are hardly all mastery and brilliant.
The partisans of each side are looking
at the matter from their own stand-
point. The other day in trip across
the State the writer saw one man who
was declaring in favor of impeachment,
and denouncing the judges as scoun-
drels. On investigation it was found
he did not know what the charge
against them was. On the same trip a
prominent business man was seen, who
said that the people who instituted
the in, parchment should be hanged.
Or icing questioned, he said de hadn't
read any part OF the charges or pro
ceedlngs, and didn't intend to read
any Of it. One was opposed to i'm
parchment, the other in favor of It,
yet neither knew anything at all about
the case or wanted to knew"
