Oskaloosa, Oct. 5.--To be uneMpect-
eddy possessed of two husbands, to Sc
cure the annulment of one marriage,
a divorce in the other and to be re-
married, is the experience of an Oska-
loosa woman.
All this happened as the sequel to
the sudden and unexpected appearance
at the home Of Mrs. Lindsay Hamp-
ton, a, few days ago, of Charles Lind
say, husband No. / Five years ago
Mrs. Lindsay was informed of her hus-
bands death in Chicago, and she pro-
vided the funds for his buria.. Later
she married ID. Hampton, and all went
we'll with Hampton and his wife until
Lindsay appeared sLs from the grave.
This caused CONSERVATION in the
Hampton household, and Hampton, as
the aggrieved one, sought the aid of
the courts to have his marriage an
nulled, because it was Illegal. This
was easily accomplished and then Mrs.
Lindsay, preferrine' Hampton to her
recreant first husband went in court
and secured a divorce on the grounds
of desertion and non support.
The final chapter was enacted to-
day. when Hampton and Mrs. Lindsay
were remarked, and the next time

faculty to- formulate plans for the con-

leaked out that a system OF regulations

Since the installation Of the chapter

 There are any number of outfielders from which to choose. Speaker of Little Rock, Lord of New Orleans and Beck CT of Little Rock would probably have the call, although it is difficult to pass over such men as Winter, Henline. Mo1esworth, Collins and Daley. But the trio selected Is composed of fine field CTS 300 hitters, good base runners, good run getters, and excellent throw CTS That trio could appear to ad- vantage in either of the big leagues.
 Breitenstein, Thomas Castleton, Savidge and Duggan Kellum or Hunt CT would do for the all-star pitching staff. The team above outlined could easily win a pennant in the American association, and would be neither St. Louis in the National nor New York in the American league.

LABOR AND POLITICS. GOOD oOMBI.

NATION.

Samuel Gompers seems to be throughly
worked up over the question of labor going
into politics. There is nothing like being
denied something you want to induce one to
thoroughly advocate a new policy. The
Supreme Court of the United States has hit
union labor with a couple Of decisions lately
Now, Mr.. Gompers President Of the American
Federation of Labor, wants to have Congress
change the Sherman Antitrust law so as to
shut off the Supreme Court from enjoining
labor unions from striking. He threatens
Congressman with the labor vote to make them
fall into line. The other day Mr. Gompers
said:
Labor will not let itself be outlawed by
any judicial decisions Labor has it's rights,
knows them and will stand for them Labor
organizations have political power This
power has never been utilized as it should be-
All right. Let labor get into politics as
soon as it pleases. If the members of labor
unions will hang together and vote solidly for
candidates who think about the rights of the
people, this force may be the one that is
needed to correct the abuses from which the
country is suffering, owing to the manipula-
ton of candidates and ofice-holders by few
men with interests to protect and with favors
to ask.-Tallahassee Florida, Sun.

PLAIN AMERICAN CITIZENS SUIT US.

A newspaper correspondent writes that a
lesson has been taught by the recent I'M
pleasantness over the selection of DR.. David
JAYNE Hill as Ambassador to Germany, which
will result in favorable consideration for
buildings for our ambassadors in foreign
countries. It has leaked out that the Kaiser
objected to DR.. Hill because he did not have
money enough to keep up the pace set by Mr..
Charlemagne Tower.
The question that the American people will
ask is-"Why should he?''
Mr.. Tower dressed himself up in ruffled
shirts, plum colored long tailed coats, knee
satin breaches, silk stockings and pumps with
fancy buckles them. He also entertained
lavishly.
The American people do not want their
representatives abroad aping the manners and
customs of the nobility. It is bad enough for
Americans to dress their funkies out in these
gew-gaws. American gentlemen should not
wear them.
1t man were to go to London or Berlin or
Paris and behave himself like plain Ameri-
can citizen, he would find his salary enough to
meet his expenses, and he should lend dignity
to the office by being an American citizen,
carrying out Democratic ideas of simplicity.

givers of dinner parties, in our business

SOCIALISM WHEN EXPOSED.

ueIlC exponent OIL socialism ana L Will snow you
generally, man who can not speak the Eng
lish language we'll. Usually he is, or has
been, boOZer, or booze seller, in the cities
especially, and is not a property owner.
Some few who have made stake selling
booze, contrary to our so-called law, they are
socialists to catch the socialist patronage
They are socialists for the dollars and they
are all after the dollars, just like other men
who are sound in mind. Money is creature
of law, a representative of values and they
know it.
Look at the inconsistency Of so-called So
clalism, the Appeal to Reason, their recog-
nlzed official organ, giving tracts of land and
houses and lots to club raisers for that pub
lication, who send them the largest list of
subscribers within a given time, yet social
lists teach the doctrine of opposition to pri-
vate ownership. Their theory of government
has been ignored in the old countries, where
most OF their strongest opponents came from,
and Peoples government has been inaugu-
rated which is Populism in this country.
The socialist Of Catana, Rome, instituted
a municipal bake house over there about two
years ago to make break cheaper and the
government auditor visited that place and
found that the city had run behind $685. 900 in
the two years of socialistic rule and he or
dered the bake house put into liquidation,
which they did and resigned. This is like
the cooperative stores they tried to operate
IN, and around, this city, a short time ago.

and they failed
Every man knows that the socialists de-
mand that everything'' be owned in "com-

are led to believe in their teachings, un-

all Of the big bOozers, loafers and dead-beats

Industrious energetic and sober gentlemen
Of the land, according to socialism, It would
take an army of men to issue these certifi-
Gates they talk about, or it would have to be
lett to the men themselves to say how much
wealth each have created. You can see how
inconsistent that plan Of government would
be and l am at a loss to know how men can
