New Menace to Longstreet.

News of Averell's move was swiftly
heralded in the Confederate lines. the
more so that he seemed about to enter
the Shenandoah valley and possibly
aim to strike the eastern end of the
railroad in the vicinity of Lynchburg.
The C~onfederates estimated his force
at 1000 in all. The commander of the

was isolated from all other armies and
dependent entirely upon the country
round about for food rations.
A New Federal Commander.
On the 18th Longstreet's scouts
brought him word that a Federal
corps led by General w. I. Sherman
had been summoned from Knoxville to
Chattanooga. Sherman had been at
Knoxville less than a week. He came
originally to help defeat the Confed-
crate siege. His departure weakened
the Federal strength in east Tennes-
see and increased Longstreet's chances.
On the 10Th also the Federal army
passed from under the leadership of
General A. e. Burnside to that Of Cen
eral j. G.. Foster. Foster had long
served with Burnside and was well
known to the troops. His instructions

In August. 1868, the Confederate
leaders had planned to send the pow
erful army corps of General Long
street from Lees camps on the Rap
pahannock river. in Virginia, by rail
to Chattanooga to reinforce the army
which, under General Bragg, was fight
ing to hold Chattanooga against a COM
bination of Federal forces which
threatened IL A part Of the combina-
ton was the army which General
Burnside led fr,m Kentucky to Knox
vile in September. This Federal oc-
cupation of Knoxville barred the Vir-
ginia-Tennessee road to Longstreet
and compelled him to go around
through the Carolinas.

ginia and northeast Tennessee. By ad-
vancing from Knoxville toward the
Virginia border. after abandoning the
siege of that place, Longstreet reached
the line of communication with Lees
camps again. Meanwhile the line in
that vicinity had never been without
Confederate defenders. The guarding
of the region had been one of the du-
ties of Ransom's force.
The stirring operations in east Ten

Learning this General w. w. Averell
set out from Beverly. on the western
slope of the Allegheny mountains, to
penetrate the wilderness southwest.
Raiding in that region was not a new
enterprise for Averell. With a force
composed of three regiments of West
Virginia infantry. mounted, and the
Fourteenth Pennsylvania cavalry, with
Ewing's horse battery. he marched

City Government
Upon the mayor and council rest

The appointive officers of the city are
helpers; therefore, believe the mayor
and council should consult together
and use great care in the selection
and appointment of city officers, ex-
acting efficiency, honor and integrity,
and if an appointee fails to make good
he should be removed at once. am

retard the ,city's growth. l am in IA
vor of free bridges; toll bridges are
out of date in a growing city like
ours. If the people want a business
administration they should elect bust
ness councilmen; for the city council,
under the law, is the business head Of
the city government and the mayor
is the executive head. Both should
work together, keeping their ears open
to the voice Of the people, thereby
letting the people rule.

TO THE ELECTORS OF THE CITY

TO THE ELECTORS OF The CIIl
OF ABERDEEN, GREETING:
l, the undersigned, have filed with
the city clerk my candidacy for the
nomination of mayor of the city OF
Aberdeen, subject to your approval at
the city primaries, to be held March
10, 1913, and l herewith present you
my platform.
believe in the enforcement of the
ordinances of the city and the laws
of the state applicable to good city
government. A laxity in the en-
forcement of law leads to contempt of
law, which breeds anarchy, which
means chaos and the destruction of
the government. do not pose as a
scrapper, but if any person or per-
sons, individually or collectively,
violate the law, be they high or low,
rich or poor; if l am mayor I will be
there with the goods and enforce the
law.
Saloons are legalized by law; If
they obey it, they have the same right
to protection as any other lawful
business. The social evil is proihb-
tied by law, but it has existed in de-
fiance of law so long that the men,
ory of man runneth not to the con-
tary and l believe it always will ex-
list until the dawn of the millennium.
l believe the best way to cope with
the evil is to place these unfortunates
in a restricted district, under strict
surveillance, instead of scattering
them all over the city.
Aberdeen Water Plant
Twice in the past. efforts have been
made by private parties to purchase
the city water plant, but strenuous
objections by the people prevented
it's sale. Now new schemes are pro-
posed. One is that if the city has not
the money to put in permanent
water system, private parties or cor
poration will do it and furnish water
at the city limits, which water the city
shall take at price. That scheme
will not bear analysis. This is one of
the main issues in this election. !
am unalterably opposed to the city sell
ing it's water system or allowing any
private person, company or corpora
ton the right to furnish the city with
water. l am in favor of Aberdeen,
Hoquiam, Cosmopolis and Montesano
uniting and building permanent wat
err system from the big canyon of the
Wynooche river that will supply all

who seemed to be in great misery. The
cripple said that he was wounded in
the leg, and the young man immediate
ly threw him across his shoulder and
started for the doctors in the rear Of
the army While on his way cannon
ball came along unnoticed by him and
took off the cripple's head. When he
reached his destination he was asked
why he was carrying corpse. He
looked very much surprised when he
noticed the headless body and said:

was his leg!'-NatiOnal Monthly.

Rx rHE HON. aEoRaE W. NORRIS.


Representative Norris. as member
OF the judiciary committee OF the
house, was one OF the managers on DC
half OF the house who prosecuted the
trial OF Judge Robert w. Archibald be-
fore the senate sitting as court OF
Impeachment In the following article
Representative Norris. now senator

peachment process n too cumbersome
q method for getting rid OF bad Judges
To my mind. the trial Of Judge Rob
ert w. Archibald illustrates the neces-
sity of some other method OF getting
rid OF unworthy public officials. While
the trial was successful and VIII un-
doubtedly have good effect on the
country In general. II il nevertheless
true that II proved to be q costly and
cumbersome process.
Most persons see only the time that
Il took the senate to try the case.
This IL q large item, but II was In fact
but a small part OF the work con-
nected with such trial. The judiciary
committee OF the house Of representa-
tives was engaged nearly two months
In hearing evidence TO determine
whether or not an impeachment pro-
ceeding could be sustained before the
senate.
In addition to this. II must be re-
membered that several members OF
that committee were engaged for
long time looking up evidence and In
vestigating various reports. II Ii per
haps needless to say that they investi-
gated some that after consideration
they were not able to prosecute to Q
successful conclusion. Even though In
many cases they concluded there was
merit in q certain charge, yet they
were unable to get the evidence, be
cause OF the unfriendliness OF the
Witnesses from whom they had To ge'
the testimony.
All the time that the judiciary com
mittee was engaged In taking evil
dence they were precluded from doing
other work. Some Of the most Inn
portant legislation before congress Is

now pending before the judiciary
committee and Is awaiting It's action.
Many subjects will not be considered
simply because the committee had its
time taken up in this impeachment
proceeding. II these bills cannot be
considered In the committee they can
not be considered or passed by the
house OF representatives, 50 that the
time Of the senate Is only one-nalf--
perhaps not one-half-of the total
time consumed.
II We should have two impeachment
trials come on at once the senate and
the house would be practically tied up
for an entire session and unable to at
tend to public business. Such a situa-
ton nearly arose ut this session, and
had Judge Hanford OF Washington not
resigned the Legislation OF this SEES
sion would have been practically
blocked. Even II the appropriation
bills had been passed, II would have
been necessary to pass them without
the senate giving them any considera-
ton, and all legislation properly COM
ing from the judiciary COMMITTEES
would have been pigeon-holed.
To take q case In point. the very
important proposition Of investigating
the beef trust was brought up last SEES
sion OF congress and was referred TO
the judiciary committee. but that COM
mittee had not been able to give even
hearing on the subject simply be-
cause the time Of its members has
been all taken up In impeachment pro-
ceedings.
without going into the question OF
the adequacy Of the remedy itself, II is
evident that congress cannot cope
with the necessary legislation for the
country and at the same time act as a
court to try delinquent judges. When
It tries to carry on beeh functions AZ
once either the legislation or the trial
will suffer. The sooner some other
method OF dealing with misdemeanors
on the part OF federal officials 10 de
vised the better for congress and the
country ut large.
