Vermont and Utah are the sur
viving: remanta of the grand old
party's lost Alantis.
This is the cue of the Demo
cratic party: To be reasonably
modest and try not to make
mistakes.
Any. action taken by the now
era to and the war will be regard-
ad by Turkey not as an inter
ference but aa a rescue.
Wilson would have gotten a
larger majority, only a lot of
absent minded Democrats voted
for Bryan, through force of
habit.
The amendment of the consti
tution providing for an Income
Tax has been ratified by 34 States
and two others will ratify it in
the next thirty days, which will
make the required 36 ratifications
out of our 48 States; thus Con
gress will have the right to tax
incomes as it sees tit.
The country seems to have un
limited confidence in the states
manship, patriotism and ability

assurance that he has given the
country that no honest and

It is "Fossilized" United States
Supreme Court which now an
nounces revolutionary changes
in rules of procedure for equity
eases. The new rules go so far
as to embody many of the chang
es demanded by organized labor
through legislation. They prac
tically make an end of the mid
night and the hair trigger in
junction. They require notice
to the opposite party in all save
very exceptional cases before a
temporary restraining order or
peliminary injunction can issue.
They require speedy hearings
after the issue. They remove
needieas steps in Modes of plead
infta bring the parties mere
quickly te the toft They pro
vide for mora trials by the court
and fewer trials by the way of
eferee.
That State Scatter J.
Tomae is te ace his energies and
influence to give the misssc of
the people what they so badly
stand in need etf, and desire, a
more economical administration
of State affairs, is already dem
onstrated in that be has request
ed Govenor Lee Cruse to aak all
State institutions to furnish him
with a budget of approprations
which is to be asked of the Leg
islature at the coming session.
Mr. Tomas requested that a copy
of these budgets be sent at once
to Represenatives and State Sen
ators, in order that they may
have time and opportunity to
persue them and give them prop
er consideration. Much time
will thus be saved and Legislators
can be fully informed when the
budgets are presented for con
sideration of the Legislative bod
ies. Senator Thomas has also re
quested th Govenor to ask that j
each department furnish to him .
a statement of the number of
rooms rented by that department
for State use; a list of appointees
and employees, togather with the
salary each receives and a nota
tion of the duties each preforms.
In this way it can immediately
be arrived at whether or not the
State is paying rental for more
rooms than is needed; whether
or not employees are on the
salary roll who can be dispensed
with with-out loss of service.
Whether these employes are re
ceiving too high a salary for ser
vices preformed, etc. Mr. Tomas
also requests that statistics be ob
tained as to the amount the State
is paying for insurance, and the
loss which has been sustained in
preceding years. It is his idea
if the premiums amount to a
larger sum than the State has
sustained by reason of fire, that
the State may carry its own in
surance.' Senator Tomas will make a
fight for retrenchment wherever
he deems service and efficiency
will not be affected; butitiscer
tian he will meet with a stubborn
resistance along the lines that
tends to do away with office
holders, whether or not these
office holders do any work or just
draw a salary. One thing is
favorable, the Senator will be up
on the floor of the Senate at the
coming session, and he is not only
a strong champion but wields no
small amount of influence, both
in the House and Senate. Law

Congrats will be called in extra

majority in the House, and of

The little old'lady at Prins ton

the information that he has been

Walter Lane met with a very
painful accidentWednesday even
ing. He had just had a bale of
cotton ginned, and had placed it
in the wagon on top of the cotton
seed, and was on his way up town
when, on striking a rut in the
road, the bale toppled over onto
the side of the wagon box, crush
ing it and falling to the ground.
In trying to hold the bale, Mr.
Lane was also thrown to the
ground with much force, break
ing the right collar bone. The
injured shoulder was promptly
attended to by Dr. Gamble, and
at the last accounts the patient
was doing as well as could be ex
pected. Following the accident
the team started to run away,
but was soon stopped without
any damage.
