WILL SULZER COME BACK!

The friends of William Sulzer
are making a martyr Of him and
they are going ia send him to
the New York Assembly from
the 9th, district. There hap
pens to be a vacancy in that dis
trict. and Notwithstanding the
opposition of the leaders Of the
parties, $500 voters out of 300
voters of the district signed a
petition urging him to become a
candidate for the vacancy, and
he has accepted, He says he
will be a non-partisan candidate,
and that his only purpose is to
do for good government. With
Sulzer in the Assembly we ex-
pect 10 see him allied with the
forces opposed to Tammany, and
it would not surprise US IN the
least if ne assumes a leadership
at once that will bring much
misery to the organization he
has been a life long member Of,
and TO which he owes his politi-
Cal prominence. 1t would not
surprise us either, if SuIzer is
the next nominee of the Pro
gressive party for governor; if
he makes good in the assembly
he may yet be placed back in
the gubernatorial chair. Should
it 50 turn out, it will the first
instance, where all peached
officer ever came back.

Since the impeachment Of
Governor Sulzer he has received
splendid money offers to go up
on the lecture platform, aud we
have no doubt that if he accepts
he will be great drawing card
for a while. Sulzer is good
speaker, and with a lecture ex
posing the methods of Tammany.
he will attract attention all over
the country. There are many who
do not believe SuIzer was given
justice, they regard him the
victim Of a high political con-
spiracy, and they want him to
go before the people now while
the country is in a condition of
uncertainty, as what the outcome
of the present political condi-
tions Will be.

sUIzER CRUSHED BY HIS ENEMIES.

William Su!zer, elected Gov
ernor of the great State of New
York last November in the Dem.
ocratic tidal wave which swept
the country, has been impeached
by a Legislature of his own polit
ical faith Su!zer entered upon
the discharge of his duties with
every prospect of a successful
administration and, with q final
promotion from his party, but
now he stands before the coun
try bowed and crushed with
shame. Sulzer iu statement
given to the press characterizes
his trial "as a farce" and he
says the proceedings was ''Mur
phys high court of infamy," but
this does not get him anything. 1t
matters not what he may say Of
the tribunal that removed him
from office. : stands before the
country icted, and will re-
main so, until the people of New
York see fit to wipe out the dis
grace by electing him back to
the governorship at the next
election.
We have not the slightest
doubt had Sulzer continued his
friendly relations with the head
of Tammauy, his administration
would have gone on smoothly:
but when he cuddled up to the
enemies Of that organization and
joined with them to force legls-
lation in opposition to it's poll
cies; he might have known that
he would arouse it's wrath, and,
unless bis career was spotless,
there would be trouble for him.
Our view of this unfortunate
and sad matter is, Sulzer did on

THE PROMISE.

The high cost of living has
caused many one to study the
government statistics to ascer
tain what becomes of the vast
quantities of foodstuffs raised in
this country, and why it is for.
eign countries are now being cali
ed upon to furnish meat, butter,
eggs, and other eatables for our
consumption? A few years ago
the united states exported a
large proportion of these food
articles; the exports were 50
great that Germany took some
action against American meat,
but now. we are forced to import
uuch of our meat food to sup
ply the demand of this growing
country. What it takes to furn-
ish the meats for this country is
hard to estimate, but this much
is certain that until there is an
exodus back to the soil, or new
areas opened up for the rearing
of meat animals-cattle, hogs,
sheep aud other kiuds to supply
meat, it is useless to look for
ward with much hope for d re-
duction in the cost of living.
The professions of the polite
ians who lay such stress upon
the enactment of the tariff re.
duction Acts, and who are en-
deavoring TO soothe into Goa
tentment the masses, like d
child that gets a suck rag placed
into its mouth: by claiming they
have discovered the panacea for
the woes of the people. are not
reckoning upon what will follow
should they fail to convince them
their legislation has been for the
best interests, and 1t will fill the
present. empty dinner pals. 1t
has been long time since tn
working man had his pail filled
wlthwholsome food when he went
to his tolI-the cost prevented,
but when the promise was made
to reduce this cost, with child
like faith he placed his trust in
those who are now in power.
and it is to them he is eagerly
looking to keep the faith.
The laboring man will not be
satisfied when told that, notwith
standing the cost of living has
not been reduced, the rich have
,een forced to pay by way of an
income tax into the treasury,
nor will he be content when told
the tariff has been taken off Of
the necessities and placed
upon the luxuries, what he
wants. is to get the food sup
ply for his family at cost with

PRESIDENT WILSON LETS MRS. PANK.
HURST LAND.

Mrs Emmaline Pankhurst the
militant suffradele leader of En-
gland, did not receive a welcome
to American shores when she
arrived last Saturday. The i'm
migration officers refused to
permit her to enter and ordered
her returned, on the ground
that she was an undesirable"
in, that she was convicted in
England of crimes that effect her
moral turpitude. Mrs. Pank-
hurst was detained a TELLS Island
and her case was appealed to
Washington. The authorities at
Washington consent for Mrs.
Pankhurst to land,
America sent her Carrie Ma
ton to England, and was
received, and on the principle
of reciprocity America might
permit Mrs. Emmaline Pank-
hurst to land here; the most
harm this jealous woman can do
in this country is to carry away
some American dollars for her
lectures, she never can arouse
the woman Of this country to a
state of violence, and we honest.
ly believe refusal to allow this
woman to land and speak in this
country will only have the effect
of making those seeking equal
suffrage more determined.
AS the young women leave the
colleges and go out upon the
world as bread winners it is but
natural they should become
more interested in public ques
tions than when they were not
forced to earn their living; the
women are fast entering the vo
cations of life heretofore occu-
pied by men, and to equip them. -.

learn to know their political
rights or rather the discrimina-
ton on account Of sex, and they
are ambitious to be on equal
terms with the men. politically
as well as industrially and So
cially.

INCOME TAX A CERTAINTY.

There is no question about the in
come tax becoming a fixed law Of the
United States. il has become as fully
legalized and as constitutional as the
declaration that all men are created
free and equal and the pursuit Of hap
piness guaranteed TO them. The only
question remains for congress to de-
termine just how much a mans in
come must he before il can be taxed
and the rate Of such special taxation.
Il is a wise provision that will place
the creating Of an approximate annual
revenue Of S1O0,Q 900 upon that class
Of people who are best able to pay it.
