Simple and Unaffected.

Mr.. Douglas is well known and beloved
In Brockton for his charity his fair and
liberal treatment of his employees and his
simple and unaffected manner. 1t is said
that there is not a shade of difference in
the greeting he extends to the poor and
the rich, the millionaire and the laborer
According to his friends in Brockton he
takes as much pleasure in walking down
the main street of the town chatting with
a S14-a-week shoemaker as he does in
strolling with one of his wealthy neigh
bors. He has the faculty of interesting
himself in the affairs of others and in at
tracing others to him. And his mode of
living is plain and as unaffected as his
manner. His home in Brockton is hand
some and tasteful, but not ornate. He owns
a pair of good horses, but prefers to walk,
or, when necessary, to ride the steam
electric cars. He never drinks intoxi-
cants, and doesn't use tobacco. the latter
not from choice, but on account of his
health.
MIR. Douglas friends say that he has had
no political ambitions and has none now,
except to make a clean record for himself
and his party during his term as governor.
He is afraid of nothing has promised no
favors to any one, and has none to ask.
And the governor-elect takes pride in the
knowledge that he is essentially 1.-The peo-
pies candidate, and says that during his
term he will re.nainethe peoples man."

Refused Political Offers.

Mir. Douglas has refused several offers
of political preferment that have been
rendered him in the past. but for many
years has taken Il keen interest in poll
ties. He served in the city council and
WIS mayor of Brockton. In 1866 he was
member of the state senate and intro
duced the weekly payment and state
board of arbitration" bills. He also took
prominent part in the compaigns of the
late William E. Russell, the last demo-
cratic governor of Massachusetts, who
was his intimate friend.
In addition to his shoe business Mr.
Douglas has banking interests in Brock

Mr.. Douglas is in his sixtieth year. having

father died and two years later he was APP
prenticed during his minority, as was the
custom at that time, TO his uncle. a shoe
maker, and at that early age began to learn
the trade that he has followed for so many
years. When he reached the age of twenty

THE BIGGEST SURPRISE
UNEXPECTED ELECTION OF WILL
LIAM L. DOUGLAS.
Characteristics of the Next Governor Of
MISUNDERSTANDING Habits
of Life

The biggest surprise of last Tuesday s
elections, according to the views of repub-
licans and democrats alike was undoubtedly
the selection of William Lewis Douglas of
Brockton to be the next governor of Massa-
chusetts. Although the state will cast it's
electoral votes for President Roosevelt, Mr.
Douglas plurality over Gov. Bates, the
present incumbent and republican candi-
date for reelection, great as to be
absolutely unexpected by his friends and in
the nature of thunderbolt to his political
opponents. And had not Mr.. Douglas been
chosen by such flattering majority he
probably would never have realized in what
high regard he was held by the people of
his home town and of the state of Massa-
chusettS generally.
To readers of newspapers, magazines and
periodicals throughout the country proba-
bly, no face is more familiar than is that of
Mr. Douglas. as he was the first large manu-
facturer in the United States to use pho
tog1aph of himself in connection with ex-
tensive advertising of his business. But in
Massachusetts Mr.. Douglas record is even
better known than his likeness or than the

House Passes the Postoffice Appropri-

Washington, March 26.-The house
yesterday passed the postoffice appro-
priation bill after a prolonged debate
on the paragraph affecting rural let
ter carriers which Thursday was
stricken out, but yesterday was in
serted with enthusiasm under a spe-
cial order of the committee on rules.
Several amendments and substitute
offered to this paragraph were voted
down. The bill has been under dis
cussion since May T.
Senator Hansbrough charged in the
senate yesterday that the movement
to secure the repeal of the desert land
law, the timber and stone law and the
communication clause of the homestead
act were due to the efforts of lobby
composed mainly Of the holders of
,la1ld bought in large tracts from rail-
way companies, who desire thereby to
increase the demand for their prop
'erty. Senator Dubois intimated that
>the pressure for repeal was due to
large holdings of forestry lands by the
railway companies. Senator Gibson
Thursday advocated the repeal of the
laws in question.

IMPEACHMENT is FAVORED.
Formal Recommendations In. Judge
~ SWayne,s. Case. X ~

Formal recommendations In: Judge
Washington. March 27.--"R Resolved,
that Charles Swayne, judge of the dis
trict court of the United. States in and
for the Northern district of Florida,
be impeached of high misdemeaniofTr:
This Is the recommendation of the
house committee on the. Judiciary to
the house in the report of the commit
tee filed yesterday After discussing
specifically the charges in detail
against Judge Swayne and giving the
findings in each case. the report con-
scludes as follows:
Upon the whole case it is plain
that Judge Swayne has forfeited the,
respect and confidence of the bar of
his court, and of the people Of his dis
trict who do business there. He has
80 conducted himself as to earn the
reputation of being susceptible to the
malign influence of a man of notori-
ously bad character. He has shown.
himself to be harsh, tyrannical and
oppressive, unmindful Of. the common
rule Of just and upright Judge. He
has continuously and persistently vio-
lated the plain words of a statute of
the United States and subjected him
self to punishment for the commission
Of high misdemeanor. He has fined
and imprisoned members of his bar
for constructive contempt without
the authority of law and without a
decent show of reason, either through
inexcusable ignorance. a malicious in.
tent to injure, or a wanton disposition:
to exercise arbitrary power. nv
For all these reasons, Charles
Swayne has been guilty of misbe-
havior in his office of Judge, and
grossly violated the condition upon
which he holds this honorable APP
pointment. The honor of the ju-
dietary, the orderly and decent adj
ministration of public justice and the
welfare of the people of the United
States demand his impeachment and
removal from the high place which
his conduct has degraded"

The economic and climatic value of
Forest growth and the Importance of

South Dakota would equal in natural
and advantages the great

We nave a better climate and the
most wonderful artesian water supply.
We can have the trees if the people
will plant them.
In order to cultivate an appreciative
public sentiment. | earnestly recon-
mend that appropriate and instructive
services be held in all of our colleges
and public schools and that part of
the day be devoted to planting trees,
shrubs and flowers, and to the adorn-
ment of school grounds, highways and
