Although tnlS paper mas nothluS |
to do with politics in Its partisan
aspects, no good citizen can be en-
tirsly without interest in al event
involving 4 complete change III
the personnel and policies of Il
government exercising jurisdiction
over ninety millions of people.
Whom people are following given
policy and are satisfied with it,
changes forced from the outside
produce discomfort and are resls-
tod. But under popular form of
government when the people be-
como dissatisfied with the policies
of the administration they them
selves institute the change, and
that is what happened in this par
ticular case.
1t is true that Mr.. Wilson did
not receive a majority of the po-
pular vote, but there can be no
room to doubt in the main the
principles for which he stood IN
the campaign do receive the ap-
proval of a vast majority of the
American people. His inaugural
address, delivered on Tuesday,
while largely and necessarily deal
ing with questions in their larger
general aspects. WAS model OF
brsvity. grace OF diction and
breadth of viewpoint. After re-
fsrring briefly to abuses which
have arisen and reforms which re-
quire institution, the new presl-
dent sums up the solsmn respon-
sibility of the craftsmanship of
today in tho following impressive
words:
This is tho high enterprise of
the new day: to lift everything that
concerns our life as nation to
tho light that shines from the
heartbtre OF every mans con-
science and vision of the right. Ii
incOnceivable that wo should dc
this as parlisans; 1t Is inconceiva-
bic that we should do it in ignor-
nance of the facts as they are ol

should be, in tho spirit of those
who question their own wisdom
and ssek counsel and knowledge

There is nothing radical, moth
ing visionary, 10 half-baked o
irrsvocable theories here. 1t i
the expression of a sericus-minde'
seeker after the truth who is AMI

scious of the infallibility of hu

Mr.. Wilson's inaugural addrss
will not suffer by comparison wit

''Mr. Walter Bedight.
Mayor OF Ossian:
Dear Sir: The levity Of your de-
mesnor at yesterdays trial and the
ostensibly nonchalant attitude you
chose to take OF the sentence infict-
ed, leads me to believe that you are
considering this very serious matter
altogether too lightly. Under ordinary

might have escaped with fitting re-
buke had you been luckier. Unen.

bound by our court to remain, you
could have drifted away into the eve
ming shadows and laughed at our ef.
forts to restrain you.
But, Mr.. Bedight. as a candidate
for representative at the coming elec-
ton. for which you are evidently re-
coupling your vital forces In this tran.

while We have in our possession q
document so discriminating as that
found by US yesterday in your wake

The document itself is evidence
enough. II given publicity. to lose you
the votes of almost every woman in
the district. Such treachery as you
have in mind-the drafting of a bill
against woman's suffrage-will not be
countenanced by the fair voters Of
this land, once the facts are in their
possession!
Il trust you realize the enormity OF
your crime and the hold we have on
you. Should you be unwise enough
to violate the sentence OF this court
the news OF your duplicity will be
sent to the womens clubs Of your dis
trict. to be followed by unimpeach-
able evidence in your own handwrit-
lng-the bill itself. I am satisfied that
your better judgment will prevail and
that you will serve your sentence as
becomes a gentleman and candidate.
This being Sunday. you will be al.
lowed your liberty to 60 and come as
you please and fortlfy your mind
against the ordeal you are about to
experience. On Monday morning you

foundation Of another impeachment
case in the senate, are made against
Federal Judge Emory Speer of the
fifth Georgia circuit. in papers con-
sidered Wednesday in a carefully
guarded session of the house judiciary
committee. The committee had be-
fore il the report of an investigation
of Judge Speer's conduct by special
examiner. r. Cotton Lewis. No action
was taken.
1t is possible that at Fridays ses-
sion of the house the matter may be
formally brought up.
The most serious charges dealt
with in the examiners report are:
That Judge Speer unlawfully per-
mitted the wasting or dissipation OF
bankruptcy estates that came within
his Jurisdiction as a federal judge.
That he presided in cases in which
his son-in-law was an attorney on a
contingent fee, with full knowledge
that his decision would affect the Zee
of his son-in-law.

cases coming before his court.

what state he belonged or his business.
He had no baggage; no papers of any
kind along with which to identify him
self; no money nor no weapon of anv
kind and was very ordinarily dressed.
1t is to the coolness of Mr.. Bledsoe
that the poor fellow owes his life, for

After this occurrence the people were

In this contest the thing is to
get the votes. The lady getting
the highest number of votes will
be declared the most popular lady
in the community and be awarded
a fine Obermeyer & Sons piano
valued at s40O. This is surely
worth a try. There is nothing
gained in this life without an eff
! fort and you will be surprised to
find how easy it is to get votes in
this contest. Besides the piano
there are many other prizes to be
given away, and the young lady
who goes into the matter with a
determination to win can hardly
fail to win a prize well worth the
effort.
There are now two ways of get
ting votes. The first way is to
pay cash in the purchase of your
goods which is the best and most
pleasing way for all concerned and
then demand coupons of the store.
These coupons are good for twenty
FIVE votes each and count just as
we'll as though you had gotten
them at this office. The second
way and the way to get the larger
coupons is to subscribe for the
BEACON, get your neighbor to sub
scribe, pay and have him pay all
arrearage and pay in advance.
The last is the best way of all to
get more votes. You can pay as
far in advance as you please and
the more you pay the larger the
coupon you get.
We guarantee this contest to
be absolutely fair and honest, and
at the end of the next thirty days
three disinterested persons will
open the box and count the votes.
The young lady that has the high
est number of votes at that time
saEill hesawarded q 40 gold pieee.
At the end of the last thirty days
the box will be opened and the
final award be made, when all the
prizes as advertised will be given
out.
1t is better that you deposit
your votes often, as they will then
be in safe keeping and at the same
time no one will know how many
you have.
Above all things get busy. The
names of the ladies who have al
ready been nominated in this con-
test are given below. We want
each one Of them to call at the
BEACON office and get book of re-
ceipts and copies of the BEACON
to work with and get busy. The
one who does the best work is go
ing to have that beautiful Ober
meyer & Sons piano and the others
are going to be handsomely re-
warded by other prizes Now
young ladies, it is up to you to
