"bossism. They are forever
denouncing bosses, whatever
they mean by the term.
It is tbs same old cry, set up
at every recurring election,
and it decoiyes no one. It is
the despaii:ing wall Of the
"outs" in their mad endeavor
to get in and assume some
kind II control. But the PEG
pie have grown used to that
vail; it has a familiar sound
to them, and its meaning is
we'll known. Whenever a
gay reformer cones along
shouting Justify ''Oosses, hos
ses, down with the bosses, !"
the wise ones smile a pecu-
liar smile, and inwardIy
think, ''what job does he
want? what office is he after
or what grudge has he to
gratify?''
And they think correctly.
Whenever you hear one shou

force the question of prohibi-

Nervousness
 and Insomnia
An Eminent Physician Sends Words of Praise for Charles B. James,
 New Discovery.

Charles B. James, the eminent scien- fist. who is known throughout the world as having done more for the relief of those afflicted with drunken ness and the drug habit than any man living, has discovered probably the only efflcacious remedy known for the cure of nervousness, insomnia and in- digestion. It is a harmless compound of Hops, Lettuce and Celery, scientif- cally blended. Many letters, over flowing with gratitude and apprecia- tion like the following, have been re-
 Dr. J. B. Brooks, one of the fore most physicians of Hot Springs, Ark, writes:
 nent in several cases for which you recommend it, and am satisfied you have an invaluable remedy for neuras- thenia or nervous exhaustfon; and for insomnia, whether from overwork or from any other cause, making the use of opium, morphine or-any other sleep producing drug necessary, I think it superior to anything l have ever tried.
 "When these poor unfortunates, who are constantly harassed with sleepless nights and tortured with neuralgia pains, come to know that there is a cure for these things in the James rem edy, they will place the makers of this remedy among the benefactors of suf- fering humanity"
 You need not suffer another day, for anyone sending name and address will which should be in the hands of every one suffering from nervousness, insom- mia and indigestion. All correspondence confidential. Address Charles B. James Sanatorium, 102 Poplar avenue, Mem phis, Tenn.

A PROFIT IN CRIME.
The State of Georgia Made Quarter
 of Million Dollars in 1907.

Charles Edward Russell in the June
 Everybodys.
 Convicts. I know it. Most of them ne- groes. l know 1t. Convicts and negroes, we have decided are outside the pale of humanity having no souls, nor rights, nor feelings. l know 1t. The convict must be punshed-society has so decreed; he has done i'll, he has brought his retribu- ticn upon himself 1 know it. Then why bother? What Is all this to us?
 Much it is very much to us. If it had been a horse or dog that had been beaten and maltreated in the name of the state of Georgia, a million voices would have been raised in vehement protest, d million hands would have been stretched out to shield the victim.
 For the year ending May 3l, 1907, the state of Georgia had 2464 convicts, of whom 1890 were contracted into servtuue to various private persons and corpor- ations, and 574 were employed on the coun- ty roads In 1906 the number was 1773 to the contractors and 571 on the county roads. From the labor of these culprits thus sold to private persons, the state h 1906 received $S33 465 S4 and in 1907 s353 455 55 These profits are the sole returns from il system that multiples criminals. breeds brutality, encourages crime, and puts upon one of the fairest states in the union a hideous blot. If the profits were thou sand times as great, they would be dear at that price.
