clude that the committee consists OF Az
different sorts of cranks There will
therefore be 40 planks in the platform

who hath not shall be given will be the
one plank to the adoption of which all

A Wabash Railroad water tank ODer-

A Wabash Railroad water tank, oper-
ated by electricity, is tended by farmer,
who turns On the switch in the morning,
works all day at his own business, and
turns the switch off at night, For this
he was formerly paid $40 a month. Under
the Government Railroad Administration
he was classed as an electrician, his time
was figured for the entire day, and he
was allowed $500 a month and given over
81, 500 back pay.
We have no doubt the above is literally
true. We confess, however, that we
should not believe it if we did not know
of unwarranted classification" which
have been made with large increases of
pay for which there was neither reason
nor justification. Before the railroads
had been under government control for a
month an era of useless extravaganza
prevailed

THE NEW GERMAN CONSTITUTION

The new German Constitution, framed
nv the National Assembly after weeks of
debate, has become effective. 1t de-
ciares the German Empire to be repub-
fican state, the sovereignty being based
on the people, men and women to have
the same rights and duties. The Reich
stag supercedeS the temporary National
Assembly, and will be elected for a term
of four years. The Imperial Presi lent
will be elected for term of seven years
The individual states will have legisla-
tive rights, and each state must have
liberal constitution with a legislature
elected by general, equal and secret bal
lot by all Germans, men and women
The imperial law will sipercede those of
individual states; complete freedom of
belief and conscience is guaranteed;
Schoo- attendance for a period of eight
years S compulsory; and the railroad
systems will be taken over by the empire
and states.
The above reads well but is it more
than scrap of paper? Germany is still
ambitious, crafty and dishonest. The
tiger has been whipped and starved into
submission but the vengeful, cruel and
ravenous instinct is not conquered. Ger
many mas set up a republican form of
government, not because the majority
desired it, but as screen behind which
she can nurse her wounds and prepare
for new foray against humanity. Ger
many has invaded France 33 times in a
little over 1900 years. When successful
she has been guilty of unspeakable
atrocities and when beaten she has SOL
EMMY promised she would never invade
again. She has not reformed. She is
the same old treacherous tiger.

struck for S1.25 an hour The strikers
are certainly doing their share towards
bringing the construction business to a
standstill, when not only they but the
carpenters and everybody else who have

buildings are out of job. From now on
every strike, and every extortion by or
gained capital, brings nearer the day
when business will be PROSTATE and when
workmen will be idle.

BEEN IN DECLINING HEALTH
SEVERAL MONTHS.

Mrs. Rebecca Wooten, for many
years a resident of Dawson, died at
the home Of her daughter. Mrs. w.
A. Baldwin, at five o'clock Friday
morning.
For more than a year Mrs. Wooten
had been in declining health, and for
sometime was confined to her bed,
but the family and friends had little
idea that the end was so near, and
the announcement of her passing
away was shock to all who so anx-
lously hoped for improvement in her
condition, and profound sorrow was
felt throughout the city.
Mrs. WOOten was born in 1871.
She was the daughter of Judge Will
liam Taylor and Maria Brookins Tay-
lor. She was reared in Randolph
county, spending the greater part of
her life in Cuthbert In 1878 she
was married to Mr.. James R. Woo

ten was cultured and refined, and
had unusual musical talent. For
number of years she was at the head
OF the musical department at An
drew College. She was interested in
all the affairs of the community, and
until too feeble to get out was ia
miliar figure at patriotic meetings
and other gatherings. She was for
years member of the Methodist
church. Few women made more
friends than did Mrs. Wooten. AL
ways bright and interesting, she was
welcome addition to any circle.
Mrs. w. A. Baldwin, of this city,
and Mr.. James R. Wooten, of Mon
roe, La, are her surviving children.
A short funeral service was held at
the home Saturday afternoon at 2
o'clock, and the body accompanied
by number of relatives and friends
was taken to her old home, Cuthbert,
on the $3.50 train and inferred in
West View cemetery by the side of
her husband.
