HUSBANDS and WIVES.
The Wife
BY ruE MATRIMONIAL EDITOR

a wife is an eX girl who has
realized her greatest ambition
the capture of a man, and who has
settled down to show him that
woman's 5 clubs, pink teas, and
gowns are absolute necessities
while three square meals day are
anything else than that.
When u wife takes man to
raise he soon learns that she is his
master. She doesn't tell him so;
he just mysteriously absorbs that
information and the older he
grows the more established the
fact roots itself in his mind.
Almost any man is brave enough
to &c to war; he will fight man
twice his size, but mere look
from his wife viii wilt him like
lettuce leaf ON II hot stove. No
one knows why.
Wives are peculiar animals in
way tllaJ llOse belonging TO
other men always look better to n
man than his own, and, that wull,
a man feels it is u terrible task to
support one, he would have a
dozen if it were not for our laws
1t is said that a man once
took his newborn son to an island
and reared him To manhood With
out the child ever seeing woman
When twenty five years old, the
father brought the son back to
civilization. Passing woman
the son asked; Father, what is
that thing! Il don't know" an
swered the father. "Well, | want
one, anyway declared the young
man.

The Husband

A husband is an ordinary man
who once thought he knew more
than Cupid, tried it-and lost.
A husband, then, is man with
wife. He may have more than
one wife, but if he has, that his
own business-and he must be
very careful to keep it so.
Husbands are of various sizes,
shapes and colors. AS yet, no
special brand seems to have be-
come any more popular than the
rest. Husbands are judged and
picked oyer more by their bank
accounts than Ey any personal Mt
tributes they may have been able
to attain. A man can patch up
any kind of an imperfection if he
has gleenbacks enough to cover it,
Most husbands use 50 much po-
likeness and so many smiles dur
ing business hours that they never
have any to take home with them
at night. Some women have to
firt with another man once in a
while just to remind her husband
she is still on earth.
Lots of mean things can be said
about husbands-but without
them the census takers jobs
wouldn't last vely long.

for Congress, without having the
pleasure and the privilege during
the campaign, to make single
speech in the District, and meet
thepeople personally, is an honor
which appreciate from the bot
tom OF my heart, and language
fails me to express to my friends
my thanks and gratitude. Since

more years or his services as Dis.
trict Attorney when my successor
takes his seat next January.
therefore submit to a fair and i'm,
psrtial citizenship of the entire
Supreme Court District that Mr.,
Knox should serve out his full
term as District Attorney before
asking promotion at the hands OF
the people.
My Reord as a Judge
was appointed by the Govern
or upon the Supreme Court bench
the latter part of last January.
Since that time my division has
decided in the neighborhood of
four hundred cases, involving i'm
portant questions of law. When
| announced my candidacy for elec-
ton several months ago | invited
the people to examine my record
as Judge during this term. | have
heard no criticism of this record
by the opposition, consequently |
assume that | have made an ac>
ceptable Judge. If any of you
hear any criticism of my record,
then may | ask that you as fair
and impartial men, if you are not
personally familiar with 1t, to con-
suit some one who is capable of
judging of my record, and l will
be content to abide by the result
OF his decision. The only criti-
cism | have heard urged against
my candidacy for election is that
during my career as a lawyer | was
once the attorney OF the Rail Road
Companies and of Telegraph
Compa III my county. AS a
lawyer | took all legitimate busi.
ness offered me. represented
all of my clients honestly and
faithfully to the best of my ability
| not only represented corporations
who had legitimate business in our
courts, but at the same tine iep-
resented individuals, both rich and
poor, and i'll each and every in
stance | represented them to the
best of my ability. The Telegraph
Company had very few cases III
court and our fees from the Com>
pany amounted to very little,
The real opposition to me Is
based upon the fact that Was the
Attorney tor the Rail Roads in my
county and the personal injury at.
torney OF the Mobile q ONO hail
Road Company. This fact in no
way disqualltes me from making
a tair and impartial Judge, for the
reason that good lawyer has to
always know and understand the
law applicable to the other side OF
the case as we'll rs to his slide VI
the case.
The real questions to be cons.
dereu are, AIN | honest aud AIN
qualified by beiug sufficiently

agree with Inc or not as TO this

The Rich Man Propaganda.
There has been a rumor circula
ted to the effect that | was q rich

need the emoluments of the office
to support myself and family.
While this fact should not in any
way influence any voter in decid.
ing for whom to cast his ballot, at

to say that, unfortunately for me,
| have never been able to accumu-
late any money or property above

PEELED now as | have been all of
my life to earn u living for myself
and family through my personal
exertions as a lawyer and since
last January as Supreme Court
Judge.
When | accepted this appoint
ment last January l gave up my
law practice at Aberdeen, believing
that if | made you an acceptable
Judge in the short time before the
election, that fair and impartial
citizenship of the District would
follow the almost universal Demo-
cratic custom and endorse my re-
cord by electing me to the full
term. BY doing this you retain
me where | am and retain my op-
ponent in the Office to which he
was elected last summer for a:term
of four years.
Since my appointment upon the
Supreme bench last January, |
have worked day anu night hard and
faithfully to make agood Judge.
Despite the fact that | have had

discharge of the duties of this
high office. For this reason / was
