THE MA88 MEETING TONIGHT
The people of Thomasville are urg
ed to attend the Mass Meeting tonight
because it Is merely the medium se
looted by a special committee for the
purpose o! giving first hand informa
tion of the new form of government,
that has been proposed. It Is one of
the best ways to get the right ideas
and to apply them to conditions a?
they exist here.
Thomasville is in a different pos

possesses an asset that cannot bf
overestimated, its light and water

One answer ls Frank O. Lowden. If
Small ls convicted, be was disqualified
at the time he was elected governor.
He cannot be Impeached as governor
tor something he did not do as gov
ernor. He was treasurer when he Is
alleged to have un.awfullv taken til-
hundreds of thousands of dollars.
Therefore, tha orly proceedings to
oust him would be quo warranto on
grounds that be was disqualified,
he is ousted on these grounds there
was no one elected to the governor
ship, and the constitution plainly
states that the governor shall hold
ottice for four years and until his suc
cessor has qualified. Therefore, Low-
flen would be governor.

A BIG JOB.
There is nothing surprising In the
information that United States gov
ernment authorities have found evi
dence of the existence and activity of
two extensive “liquor rings" that are
engaged In smuggling contraband
beverages Into this country. The
surprising feature of the ann unce
ment ls that but two such rings are
suspected, for the Impression has
been general that there wore many
more.
That a number of steamshlpe and
sailing vessels are In the business of
smuggling liquor Into the United
State, from Canada, Mexico, the Brit
ish Isle* and Continental Europe u
the confident belief of agents of the
cause success does not come quickly
and the courts will have to co-operate
heartily to the end that those found
guilty ot violations of the law are
adequately punished. The profits to
be derived from the whiskey traffic
are large, and the government will
never be able to make good the prom
ise of some who have essayed to speak
for it until It succeeds in making the
danger and the cost of violating the
law greater than the financial rewards
Justify.—Albany Herald.
THE IMPERIAL PACHYDERM.
It Is reported from Doom, Holland,
where the former Kaiser has pur
villa, that he has now become so
chased and handsomely furnished
unpopular that the native residents,
who once looked upon with sympa
thy or Indifference, now regard him
with contempt and boot him when
ever he shows himself.
It would seem that long ago the
Hoheniollern tnagalomanlac had re
vealed himself in so many contemp
tible or atrocious aspects that noth
ing he could do would add to the
sum of his odium, but the cause of
his unpopularity In the little Dutch
village where he haa made his home
Is a petty meanness which adds a new
touch to bis dark character.
The municipal authorities, who, like
those of every other city, have to
raise a certain amount of taxes with
which to meet the expense of local
government, have Repeatedly called on
Wilhelm to pay his proportion. He
haa a valuable estate which he holds
In hi, own name. The municipality
has no doubt been put to many extra
expenses because of the presence of
the “Imperial” refugee.
But to all demands that he pay bis
part of the taxes he replies that he
ls not staying at Doom “voluntarily,’’
and hence Is not subject to taxation.
The perfectly logical reply to this
Idea Is that the former Kaiser ls
quite at liberty to take hls departure
whenever be sees fit. Nothing what
ever compels him to remain at
Doom.
But to all demands that he pay his
part ot the stay on In the haven he
has chosen for himself, a pensioner up
on the bounty ht the humble cltlsen
upon whom he has thrust himself.
And the upshot ls that he Is greet
ed with hisses whenever he shows
himself.
There may have been worse chat 8 -
caters in history,- but take him for
all In all, ba seems to be about the
most despicable In modem times.—
