Gone But Not Forgotten

On Jan. the 7th the death angel visited the home of Mir. and Mrs. Iohn Webb and took from them their darling little Earl. age two years and nine months. As we stood around his couch and watch ed the bright lines of his infant life sink slowly into gloom our hearts were almost breaking, to know that his suiferings were tax ing him from us forever on earth. It was hard to give him up. Dear parents we know life looks dark and desolate, but try and meet your darling in Heaven, for you know he is there. He leaves papa, mann ma and sister, besides d host of relatives and friends to mourn his loss. We should not say lost, for he is only sleeping in the arms of jesus. The last word he spoke when his little lips were growing stiff and cold was that sweet word, mamma. Bereaved ones, weep not, for your dear one Is safe in Heaven.
 Dear Earl you have left us,
 Here your loss we deeply feel, But 'tis God that has bereft Us, He will all our sorrow heal.
 Cousin,

A Grim Tragedy.

Is daily enacted, in thousands of homes, as death claims, in each one, another victim of consump- ton or pneumonia. But when coughs and colds are properly treated, the tragedy is averted. F. c. Hnntley, of Oaklandon, Ind, writes: My wife had the con sumption, and three doctors gave her up Finally she took Dr. Kings New Discovery for con sumption, coughs and colds, which cured her, and to-day she is well and strong It kills the germs of all diseases.

Governor Davis has written a letter to the Gazette, giving his views on the anti trust bill. The Gov. seems to fear that this law will work a hardship, at first, on the people; but will eventual ly be a benefit to them. As il is the present most people are con cerned about, the antitrust law is apt to fall into disrepute, if the Governor is right in his ap- prehensions. As there seemed to be a demand for this kind of leg islation, from certain quarters, 1t is to be hoped that 1t will be enforced, strictly. in every case, and if 1t is q good law keep 1t on the statute books. but Il not, re peal it, quick. It is hardly fair to punish the people for their ig- noranee, and ii they are mistak- en in this measure, let them be relieved oi its consequence.

The segregation idea does not appear to be over-popular with the legislature. It IS pretty safe to venture that there will be no segregation laws of school taxes at this session of the General Assembly. The arguments of the segregationists have little effect on the opponents of the measure.

Mrs. Florence Naybrick is soon to write book on prison life. She recently visited Sing Sing prison, in order to compare prison life in this country With England. But since Mrs. May brick was the prisoner in Eng land and the visitor in this coun- try, the comparison is apt to be too highly colored There is a vast difference between seeing q prisoner and being one.

If there have really been any election frauds an investigation made on,a thorough order,will no doubt bring them out. The cleo tion crime is one of the besetting sins of politics and the game is made rotten by it's contaminat- ing touch.
 "Rooseyelt's plurality was something enormous. and the broad assertion that a corrupt campaign fund bought the place doesn' t speak well of American politics. The charges should be investigated, to the end of right ing the wrong and the further purpose of doing justice to the officials who have been accused of the crime.
 Senator Stones arraignment of Roosevelt and Cortelyou in the Senate recently has aroused the president to action, and, though his notice of the affair may be taken by some as an in dication that he sees something in the charges-and, in fact, he has been accused by Stone of having been stung by renorse and igoaded to this aetion-a fair and impartial resume of the matter leads one to the conclus- ion that president is honest, if nothing else.
 We do not believe that he is corrupt, and. while he has many blunders to his credit, and is dis liked by Southern people for his intolerable race views, he should at least be given credit for what he really Is.
 No Democrat in the land wishes for the triumph of Teffer- sonian principles more than the World, but to condemn a man because he Is q member of a cer- tain party is not fair play. The party lost Missouri because the boodlers of that state had cor rupted the state organization, and but for the fact that Joe Folk indueted purity into the party in that state, our position III that commonwealth would be we'll nigh hopeless. It looks as il we could do d great deal of cleaning all around. The intelli- gent classes are contending for honesty today and more than at any..other time in history, and at no distant time that virtue will stand for more than mere partisan spirit e-Heleno,World.
 The spirit eFiaced in tie above is comnendable. We, like the World, do not think it fair play" to condemn q man simply for his political predictions. It is high time that man should be credited with honest inten- tions, when his conduct IS such as to warrant such conclusions, no matter to what party he be. longs. What this country needs iaSthow, is more patriotism and less politics.

WEBER WILL PRESIDE
SUPREME COURT DiSMlSSES THE
ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE.
End Of the Sharp Controversy Grow
ing Out of The Mo-PhiI Ups
Contempt Case.

From Fridays Daily.
Judge B. F. Weber of Redwood coun.
ty will continue to preside in the case
of Kund E. Mo VS.. Jane A. Phillips de-
spite the efforts of the defendant to
show prejudice on his part.
In an opinion handed down yesterday
the supreme court dismisses the order
to show cause, and declares the stat
ute of prejudice and bias cannot be in
volved in Judge Webber's case.
The statute, the court says, only APP
piled to those judicial districts having
three judges or more. There is onl.
one judge in the Redwood district. Chief
Justice Start, who wrote the opinion,
says in his syllabus:
The general rule, that proviso to a
statute relates only to the paragraph
which Immediately precedes it has no
application to cases where it clearly APP
pears that the proviso was intended to
apply to the whole statute.
Chapter 300, Laws 1895, providing
that any judge of the district court may
be disqualified to try any particular ac
ton by making and filing an affidavit
of prejudice against him, construed ant
held that the last proviso thereof relates
to the whole statute and excludes from
its operation all judicial districts having
less than three judges.
The case in controversy involves 9
mortgage foreclosure, and has been en-
gaging much attention over the state
from the attempt to disqualify Judge
Webber. The defendants charged him
with prejudice and bias and contendeC
that they would not have fair anG
impartial trial if he continued to pre-
side.
This contention, however, the supreme
court refuses to pass upon, simply con
filming itself in its opinion today to the
fact that the statute invoked does no;
apply to Redwood county.
