Impeachment In Order.

1t is not unlikely at all that some
more impeachment proceedings may
be instituted in Fayette county in a
very short time, There are several
officers who are subject to impeach-
ment, and the temper OF the ptople
is that the law be invoked against
them. Fayette Tribune.
1t is a matter Of fact that little
impeachment proceedings down in
this section Of the State would have
good moral effect. AS the Tribune
says the temper Of the people is that
they are ready for change.

Ten Donf,s for Wives.

Don't marry man for a living
but for love. Manhood without mon
ey is better than money without
manhood.
Don't over-dress or under-dress
Common sense is sometimes better
than style.
A vile with hobbble skirt and
a husband with patched trousers
makes poor pair. A woman can
throw more out Of kitchen window
with spoon than a man can put
into the cellar with shovel
Don't think that the way to run a
house is to run away from it, 1t il
wrong to go around lecturing other
women on how to bring up their
children while you are neglecting
your own.
Don't tell your troubles to your
Ineighbors. They have enough OF
their own Fight it out with your
husband ii it takes all summer.
Don't nag. The saloon keeper IL
always glad to welcome your hus-
band with smile.
Don't try to get more out Of a
looking glass than you put into it.
Natures sunshine is better for a
woman's beauty than mans powder
and paint.
4 Don't make gamblers and drunk
ards out Of your children by run
ming whist parties for prizes and
serving punch with a stick in it.
Don't forget to tell the truth, es-
pecially to the conductor about the
age of8your child. Honesty is worth
more to you and him than nickel.
A boy who is eight years old at
home and six on the cars will soon
learn other things that are not so.
Don't forget that home is wo-
mans kingdom where she reigns a
queen. To be the mother of a Lin
coin, a Garfield or a Mckinley is to
be the mother of prince.

WILSON WOULD REPEAL ALL
PROTECTIVE TARIFF LAWS.

+ The following Is taken from

I lessor Woodrow Wilson before

Z his views then on the question
! of the tariff and the distinct an
= nouncement of his position as
! free trader, opposed to all
Z tariffs except merely for the pur
\ pose of raising revenue:
Z. But the danger of imposing
+ protective duties is that when
the policy is once embarked
+ upon it cannot be easily receded
< from. Protection is nothing
I more than bounty. and when
+ we offer bounties to manufactur-

Z when at n later day we seek to
! overthrow this protective tariff
{ we must hurt somebody and of

want is a man to do what is best fol
the workers.
Hank the voice of children crying,
Who will help to break our chains?
How can we keep on denying,
Keep them still in labor's pains
In the mill, the mines and factory,
Working for the tyrant's gains
Come, We men who WELD the ballot,
Come and help us break the chains.
Let them out into the sunlight,
Into Gods life-giving air
That develops mind and body,
All that they His blessings share.
That the fathers of these children
Earn a wage with them to share
That will feed their little bodies,
Train their minds with proper care.
Come working men, ye who WELD the
ballot,
Strike the blow that sets you free,
Cast your votes for Debs and Seidal,
They are friends to you and me.
Men who seek the sylvan beach,
There to rest from every care,
Cast your votes to free the toilers
That sometime they your rest may

HAS CHANGED AS CANDIDATE.
Woodrow Wilson's Speeches Now Those
of Office Seeker.

Woodrow Wilson's Speeches Now Those
of Office Seeker.
Scattered among the platitudes Of
DR.. Wilson's speech Of acceptance are
some truths None is more significant
than this:
I'VE stand in the presence of an
awakened nation, impatient of partisan
make believe"
Following which he makes believe
that he is telling the voters of the coun-
try his position ON the campaign issues
No one has yet been able to determine
from a reading of the speech precisely
what that position is. Some slight en-
lightenment comes from time to time
in his later utterances. like. for ex
ample, the declaration the other day
that Tammany is to be safe from his
assaults: but none of it Is satisfying.
DR.. Wilson, in the preconvention
days, was represented to the country
as a scholarly gentleman. too lofty Of
mind to practice the wiles of the pro-
fessional politician. too earnest In the
cause of good government to be aught
but frank and fearless in his express
sion. too unselfish to put private ambi-
ton above the public veal, too ideals
tic in character to truckle to the forces
Of evil In the nation.
But how singularly he has masked
all of these qualities since William
Jennings Bryan forced his nomination
at Baltimore.
There is no difference. save In the
purity of the English, between his
speeches and the speeches of the pro
fessional office seeker Of the worst
period in American politics. He steps
pussy footed over all the large ques
lions of the day, He exhibits a sus-
piciously broad tolerance for all ele-
ments in the body polite, even the
elements which, to nominate him, Bry
an found 1t expedient to denounce by
name in the convention. There Is
none of the rugged frankness of ut
terance that characterized his writings
Ill Tie udyb DtLOtC uN WIS luOtuldtC0
with the virus of political ambition.
He is proving over apt as an advanced
student of practical politics.
It is not a pleasant nor heartening
exhibition he makes of himself The
right minded citizen can feel nothing
but sadness In contemplating man
of education and culture SO intent
upon partisan and personal victory
that he sacrifices those ideals Of truth
and honesty for which he has always
stood to fawn upon and honeyfugle
the voters.
DR.. Wilson as a candidate is not in
character with the DR. Wilson that
was pictured To US prior to the Balt-
more convention. This awakened ma
ton, impatient of partisan make be-
lieve." detects the difference.
