BILL INTRODUCED TO
RESTORE OLD TABBY FORT
= , 2 4
Calls for $1,000 for Preservation of
Historic Spot on st. Simons.

If the bill of Representative Ander-
son of Chatham, introduced on Wed.
nesday for an appropriation of $4,000
for the restoration and preservation
of Old Tabby Fort on st. Simons isl
and, passes, the historic landmark
will once again look as it did after it
was built by General Oglethorpe to
repel invaders who threatened the
southern states during the eighteenth
century.
For some time past efforts have
been made to have this old fort re-
stored as fitting mark of respect
to General Oglethorpe, but nothing
resulted until Mr.. Anderson's atten.
ton was directed to the matter. It is
thought the bill will be passed both
by the senate and house in the near
future, and it will only he a short
time before the old spot will assume
again a revolutionary aspect.

DOG WITH TWO TAILSIS
TAXED AS TWO ANIMAL s
! City Officials of Terrell, Tex, Proceed
on New Theory Assessment.

on New Theory Assessment.
Terrell, Tex, July 12.-"The Tale of
Two Cities" is an old and well known
story, but "The Dog With Two Tails"
does not enjoy such widespread fame,
because of its more recent origin, in
fact, it has just made it's advent.
j. M. Gibson is the proud possessor
of this monstrosity. Because of the
fact the new arrival has two caudal
appendages, the city commission has
assessed double tax against it. The
assessment was made on the theory
that If dog with one tail is assessed
81 annually to appease the tax gath
erer, certainly one with two tails
should be assessed twice as much.
The problem is simple: If one dog
with one tail equals 81, then one dog
with two tails will be equal to two
times one dog with one tail, which Is
50.

WRECK SHOCKS WASHINGTON

Washington, July 12.-News of the
wreck of the Federal Express was re-
ceived in Washington with more than
common interest not only because
Washington residents were included
among the victims, but because of
President Taft using the train many
times during the year, on his various
trips from Beverly to New Haven
and other points east. The presi-
dents car is generally attached to the
Federal Express, leaving here at 5.35
p. M, and circling Manhattan Island
by ferry. The president has not been
in or near an accident during his
many trips throughout the country
and heretofore it has not been
thought necessary that unusual pre-
cautions should be taken on double
track roads of the east, central and
west, when he travelled The wreck
of the Federal Express, however, has
caused a distinct shock at the white
house and it Is likely that when the
president next goes to Boston or Bev-
erly a pilot engine will precede the
train to which his car is attached.
Such request undoubtedly will be made
by white house officials to safeguard
the life of the president where open
switches or defective rails threaten
peril

least to the house that the members

mittee had a rather difficult task to

ceedings, and let as little of it get to
the public as possible. They tried to
develop a factional feeling out of It,
with the result that If the house voted
to quash the proceedings then the
odius would come upon the house.

No event in the legislative annals of
our state has caused such tremen-
dous upheaval of public indignation
as did the action of the House of Re-
presentatives last week in the case of
Judge Cowan of the second judicial
district. So overwhelmingly was the
wave of disapproval which rose in
the Valley of the Red and rolled west
ward threatening to overwhelm the
capitol, when the news of the white
wash" was fashel over the wires,
that the lower house of the Assembly
was literally forced to reconsider the
resolution to acQuit and order an i'm
peachment.
The method Of the committee in re-
cording, or rather not recording testi-
mony in case Of such grave nature,
is one of the most remarkable things
in connection with official investiga-
ton. No stenographer was employed
and all the record of the testimony of

down now and then by the chairman
of the committee. .-.e: ,~4
/ The charges were Of the gravest
character. They involved the good
name of public official. They involv-
ed the reputation of the North Dakota
bench. And their treatment involved
the reputation Of the state, for by the
manner in which these charges were
treated the outside world would re-
ceive its Impressions as to the esti-
mate which the people Of North Da-
kota, thru their representatives, place
upon the public Offices which they
have created, and on the behavior Of
their public officials In their public
relations and in their, Official acts.
@ The duty Of this committee was not
to pass upon the innocence or guilt
OF the Judge, but to take testimony
and place 1t In Its entirety before the
House Of Representatives to act upon.
In this It failed either through ignor-
arlce ar willful and almost criminal
neglect on duty.
According TO the sworn statements

The Stalwarts should pension Judge
Cowan for one thing if for nothing
else and that is the fact that it was
over his head which the Insurgent
cause has been shattered. They went
to his rescue regardless of the fact
that they were elected on platform
opposed to such acts. -

- The Jamestown Capital notes that
the Stalwart section of the state press
which creates such a Juror over the
alleged embezzlement of state funds
by Biekford-is not devoting any
space to the alleged embezzlement by
Judge Cowan of his own good name
and dehlement Of the bench. They
should play the game fair and help
clean up the; rotten places, no matter
whose yard is raked..

on Tuesday they reversed themselves
by vote of GA to IS and the result
is that the impeachment proceedings
will take its course according to law
which is trial by the senate after the
Judge has had 20 days notice. It takes
a two-thirds vote of the senators elect
ed to sustain the Impeachment.
There has probably never been an
other incident in the state which has
stirred up the people like this deal
did. Not on account of Judge Cowan's
untitness, etc., but on account Of the
way the committee went at the in
vestigation and the way the house
handled the matter when it was put up
to that body. It was openly charged
that it was case of whitewash, and
hardly any other conclusion could be
drawn from the proceedings. The
fact of the committee keeping no rec
ord Of the testimony given before it
looks suspicious ON its face and the
fact OF the house taking the stand it
did on a proposition that it had no
means of knowing anything about is
really beyond explaining. However
the house finally got onto the right
track, but it took an owful route in
getting there.
These facts cannot be gotten a.
round: There was sufficient evidence
produced against the Judge to not only
warrant, but to demand thorough in
vestigation by the proper tribunal and
in all fairness to the judge and the
people the whole deal should be gone
into thoroughly. If the Judge is in
nocent of the charges brought against
him he is entitled to clean bill Of
health through the proper channels
and If he is guilty he should be oust
ed; that is all there is to it. If the
matter had been allowed to rest
where it was the judge would have
been about as bad off as he will be Il
he is found guilty, because the gread
majority Of the. people could not have
been made to believe anything else bu
that he was whitewashed, and mar
occupying his position can't afford tt
be under cloud like that.
We are satisfied that a thorough
trial will be had and let the result be
what it may.
