Wonder why Associate Justice Gary
did not accompany his bid for the
chief justiceship with a resignation
dated to take effect on the convening
of the general assembly? That would
have looked better than his complaint
against the general assembly for elect
ing Judge Jones to the position four
years ago, instead of himself.

The Canadians were afraid that we
wanted to annex them, which as a
matter of fact we only wanted to sell
'em things cheaper than they could be
produced in Canada. We would have
been able to buy some things cheaper
than we are getting them now; but
that would not have amounted to a
great deal.

WANTS HUSBANDS
TO HAVE GUMPTION
Not Be Led By Nose By Their
Wives
Philadelphia Judge RldiCuleS Man
Who Gives all His Pay TO His Wife
Husband Should Control Purse
Strings is His Opinion.

Philadelphia, Pa, May 4.-Judge
Audenreid, who has on several occa-
sions expressed very forcibly his opin-
ion of henpecked husbands took a
shot at them by declaring recently
that man who turned his unopened
pay envelope over to his wife was
more like a sheep than like man.
Samuel Craig was arraigned in the
Desertion court on charge of non
support, preferred by his 21-year-old
wife, Florence. She declared that he
would not support her and their ba-
by; that he would only work some
times, and then get drunk on the
money he earned; he struck her; that
he wouldn't take up the carpets, and
that he was rather a poor sort of a
husband generally.
Craig, however, told a different sto-
ry. He admitted that he occasionally
drank bit too much, but in explain
ing an incident of which his wife
spoke said one day that while he was
hurrying home to give his pay envel-
ope to his wife, he met several of his
friends and took a few drinks. He
spent 50 cents of his pay and was
robbed of the balance, about $l1,
while Intoxicated. His wife did not
believe him when he explained the
loss of his pay.
Gave Wife All His Pay.
When | had any pay coming to
me" testified Craig. 81 would always
give 1t to my wife. needed suit of
clothes, but she said didn't, so l did
not get any. She wouldn't even buy
me handkerchief, or have my shoes
mended, and got mad when l bought
me a new pair When | would give
her my pay she would sometimes al
low me only quarter to spend, and
as for striking her, why, she throws
fiatirons and dinner plates at me-
However, am willing to go back %
her and provide a home"

what's The MATTER
With OLD KANSAS
Has a Solid Republican Dele.
cation in Congress

Washington, Ma. 4-Kansas is the
one large state on the map that has 4
solid republican delegation in con-
gress That Kansas should fail to
flicker in all the tidal wave business
of last year was very distasteful, not
to say discouraging, to the democrats,
and there was a general demand for
explanation
Now comes W. S Hyatt, Kansas
democrat, willing to ask the old, ia
miliar question, What's the matter
with Kansas 3" and he laments first of
all that his state has no democrats
in house or senate to encourage the
democrats who insist on being given
hope from now on until after the
presidential election of next year. Mr.
Hyatt also prefers to talk about in
surgency in the republican ranks, and
has unfolded the situation somewhat
to his Washington friends in these
words: vi, Nh
Kansas is a hotbed of insurgency,
yet insurgency has not meant much
to the rank and file of the republican
party in the state" says Hyatt. "The
last republican state platform stood
for everything you could imagine. 1t
was built as a ote-catcher-going or
coming. 1t served to elect republic
can legislature, and for time it ap-
peared as though the insurgent re-
publicans were in control. Then came
a revuIsion of feeling against the
insurgent crew. The Kansas demo-
Gratis had not only the insurgent
movement to contend against last
year, but lost the aid of the Socialists,
who though tired of broken republic
can promises, preferred a ticket of
their own rather than support the
democratic party nominations. There
was an increase of 1000 in the Social
istic vote of Kansas last year, and
a total of 10000 votes for their ticket
in the state In future the demo-
Gratis of Kansas can hope for support
from the socialists and also from the
honest insurgent voters who see abso-
Lutte absurdity in tying up longer with
the 1hypocritical republican outfit. The
Independent voter is going to give
more heed to democratic doctrines and
promises from now on, and we are not
discouraged. At a recent democratic
banquet there was almost equal en-
thusiasm for each one of the possible
democratic nominee for president when
their names were mentioned by the
orators. Not only Harmon, of Ohio;
Wilson, of New Jersey, and Folk, Of
Missouri, with Bryan, were given ap-
plause as presidential candidates, but
Mayor Gaynor, of New York City, ap-
pears to have hold ON many demo-
Gratis out West and mention of his
name was the signal for long APP
plause. Don't worry about Kansas.
We are hopeful, even if we didn't do
so we'll last year"

Announcement was given out yes
terday that all preparations have
been made to secure the success @
the Georgia-Florida Nut Growers AS
ISOLATION, which convenes here May II
and II.
Mr.. H. w. lSmithwick, president o.
the Association, has labored diligent
~ and increasingly to perfect prepa-
rations so that the session in Ameri-
Gus may be the largset and best ever
held by the convention. With the
wide publicity that Americas and
Sumter county have enjoyed, it is be-
lieved that all records for attendance
will be broken.
The program has been arranged to
include the best known authorities
On the pecan industry in Georgia and
Florida, together with lecturers of
ration wide prominence. An unusual
feature which has been obtained by
good fortune is the large and varied
collection of pecan nuts owned by the
National Bureau of Plant Industry,
which was secured through the friend
l. Offices of Mr.. C. A Reid, the gov
er!ment expert who made the collec-
ton.
The Reid collection is said to be
priceless, as it includes every knowl
species of pecan that is grown In
this and other countries. President
'Smithwick deserves great credit and
praise in securing this excellent dis
play, which will be eagerly seen by
every delegate to the convention. AS
the collection is likely to be damaged
in shipping, the government consents
only under the most earnest solicita-
tion for it to be shipped to any great
distance from the capital.
The Board of Trade has cO-Operat-
ed steadily and generously with Mr..
Smithwick in the matter of preparing
for the convention. 1t is by the help
of this organization that a luncheon
will be rendered to the delegates at
the Country Club Immediately after
the return from the automobile ride
to the local pecan orchards, Anderson
vile and other points of interest. AS
a matter of gaining helpful publicity
for the city, booklets were obtained
from the Board of Trade and sent ont
with each program. In other ways
the local trade organization has given
aid to the work of according a hearty
welcome to the nut growers.
If every citizen of Americas will
give his cordial sympathy and good
will toward making the stay of the
nut growers here as pleasant as pos
sible, Mr.. Smithwick feels assured that
there will be nothing lacking to de-
light the visitors and to give them as
