ON'S DOLLAR A YEAR.
Protest in the Senate.
Atlanta, Ga., Auk- 6.—The following
is a complete copy of the protest
against the suspension of McLendon,
which was introduced in the Senate
yesterday by Senator Longley, signed
Is Woman’s Love Stronger Than Man’s
Now York American.
The great. distinction between the

order of President Slaton:
“Wo, the undersigned Senators, re
spectfully and courteously and without
reflecting on the motives of others, de
sire to enter our protest against the res
olution removing Hon. S. G. McLen
don from the office of Railroad Com
missioner, and for grounds of protest
say:
“First. Because Commissioner Mc
Lendon was duly elected by the quali
fied electors of Georgia and commission
ed for a definite time as Railroad Com
missioner, and cannot be removed from
his office except by articles of impeach
ment by the House of Representatives
and a judicial conviction by the Senate,
as provided by the Constitution of this
State.
“Second. Because the resolution re
moving the Commissioner is a legisla
tive act inflicting punishment for past
conduct, without a judicial trial, in our
opinion is a bill of attainder prohibited
by the Constitution of the United States
and of this State.
“Third. Because the Act under which
the Governor suspended the Commis
sioner does not provide for any notice
to him, neither does it provide for any
procedure whereby he could make his
defense, and the resolution deposing
the Commissioner without a judicial
trial is unconstitutional, null and void.
With the exception of the five Senators
of the joint committee, the other Sen
ators did not hear the witnesses testify,
Senators were not put on oath to try
him, and he was not permitted to ap
pear before the Senate and make his
defense. The Governor gave certain
reasons for the suspension, but, on the
vote of the Senate, the Senator from
the Twenty-ninth district, in casting his
vote, did so with the proviso that he
was voting for the removal of Mr. Mc
Lendon on account of the street rail
road bond deal and not for the reasons
given by Ihe Governor; therefore, there
were only twenty-two votes for the re
moval, lacking one vote to carry the
resolution for the reasons given by the
Governor; and we protest against the
action of the Senate in refusing to allow
the journal to be corrected so as to
show that the Senator from the Twon-
ty-ninth did not vote for the resolution
of removal for the reasons given by the
Governor.
“Fourth. That while the General As
sembly may perhaps abolish the Rail
road Commission, it is vigorously denied
that it can abolish a Commissioner and
at the same time leave the office in
tact. We do not believe the Commis
sioner has acted other than in honest
good faith, violating no law, or doing
anything worthy of removal.
“Fifth. Because the Constitution of
this State, Article 4, Section 2, Para
graph 1, provides that ‘the power and
authority of regulating railroad freight
and passenger traffic are conferred up
on the General Assembly, and because,
in pursuance of this duty and power,
the Railroad Commission of Georgia was
created by the Legislature. And be
cause the Constitution, Article 2, Para
graph 25, provides that the legislative,
judicial and executive powers shall for
ever remain separate and distinct, and
no power discharging the functions of
one shall at the same time exorcise the
functions of either of the others, ex
cept as provided in the Constitution.
And" because the reasons for the sus
pension of S. G. McLendon, a Railroad
Commissioner, given by the Governor,
related to votes of the Commissioner
in reference to fixing freight rates a
matter absolutely outside of the rights,
powers or duties of the executive de
partment of this State—and because
the action of the Governor in suspend
ing the said Commissioner for said
reasons was a dangerous assumption by
the Executive Department of the
powers and duties expressly denied to
said department.
“For these reasons we do solemnly
protest against the resolution of re
moval as u bill of attainder, and as un
constitutional, null and void."
In a protest also filed by the minorit.
members of the House ihey say —
“In this instance the message of the
Governor to the General Assembly of
June 25, 1909, giving his reasons for
the suspension of Mr. McLendon, clear
ly shows that the Executive was usurp
ing and arrogating to himself the right
to act as having the power to review
and reverse the decisions of the Com
mission and to remove a Commissioner
for deciding a case contrary to the
personal or political views held by the
executive. Arbitrary interference by
an executive with an official exercising
quasi legislative and judicial powers
are contrary to the letter and spirit of
the Constitution and subversive of the
principle of free government, and if
tolerated and allowed it must necessari
ly destroy the independence and effi
ciency of every official exercising any
discretionary or quasi judicial duties
and functions. ”
business cares, mascudne friends and
sports, the hundred and one odd things
which go to make up the ordinary
bachelor’s file, it by no means occupies
the major part of their existence, and
it may truly be said of even the most
devoted of men that they seldom allow
their own personality to be shadowed
or engulfed by their affections.
There is an element of selfishness,
more or less, in all men, and at times
the determination not to fail, or the
thought of a possible rival, are more
important factors in a man’s wooing
than the actual love itself.
To sum up charitably, men love prin
cipally with the outer shell of their per
sonality- sincere enough, but intermin
gled with so many other personal ele
ments that it is kept pretty much in
the background, and only called into
actual being as occasion requires.
Women, on the other hand, (with the
exception of the few passionless, cold
blooded individuals who never realize
the meaning and reality of true love),
respond whole-heartedly to the tie of
affection. They love passionately, with
heart, soul, and brain. It takes pos
session of their whole being to the ex
clusion of all else. It is the keynote
of their existence, dominates both
thought and action, and so, in propor
tion to the fate meted out to them,
they sorrow or rejoice.
It, may bo a more erratic, sentimen
tal affection than that of men, but
when men love truly they are apt to
love to excess, allowing no margin for
a middle course, either winding up on
an elevated platform of joy or sinking
into an abyss of despair.
Love is at once the bestower of the
greatest joy and the most exquisite
pain. When under its influence the
whole world seems changed, the sun is
brighter, the songs of the birds are
sweeter. Happy tne woman who loves
and is beloved.

Great Deficit Facing Georgia.
Savannah, Ga., August 17.—That the
State Treasury will be confronted with
a deficit of approximately $1,000,000 at
the end of the present year, because of
laws passed by the 1907 and 190S Legis
latures, was the statement made by
Representative J. Randolph Anderson
in an interview to-day. He states that
the deficit of $182,000 on Jan. 1 will be
swelled by increased appropriations to
the common school fund to $430,000.
He states that on Aug. 10 he had a
conference with the Comptroller-Gen
eral and Treasurer, and that according
to the figures given by them he be
lieves, from the present outlook, that
the deficit will reach the million mark
by the end of the year, under the op
eration of the 1908 laws.
Muddying the Waters.
Walton Tribune.
The present House and Senate are
controlled by partisans of former Gov.
Smith, who seem determined that no
legislation which he did not approve
shall be passed if it is in their power to
prevent it. Several small and petty
matters have been jumped up for the
sole purpose of killing time and muddy
ing the waters, and the antics of some
of these so-called reformers are such as
to make all decent people despise them.
By playing the wild generally, they
hope to lay it all on Gov. Brown and
proclaim that his administration has
accomplished nothing. In decency’s
name, let the counties of Georgia send
more men and fewer apes up to Atlanta
to represent them.
“Do you think actors ought to it

“Yes, but I think sone of them
shouldn’t do it quite so frequently.”
Political Bossism Short-Lived in Geor
gia.
Albany Herald.
In the midst of all the ups and downs
and strenuous politics we have been
having in Georgia during the past few’
years the significant fact has been de
veloped that the political boss doesn't
thrive long in this State. A careful
review of the field and notation of the
fate of the men who have figured as
leaders in political affairs will verify
this statement. Such a review of our
politics will perhaps show that the peo
ple have at times been responsive to
the claptrap of demagogues and the
unctuous preaching of blatant “re
formers, ’’ hut a careful study of the
situation will force the conclusion that
such methods and the men who employ
them do not flourish long in this clime.
The people of Georgia who take any
interest in political affairs are impul
sive and easily aroused to enthusiasm.
They have been known to follow false
prophets and counterfeit reformers for
a time, but when deceived they have
been quick to find it out and have nev
er yet failed to correct their mistakes
at the earliest opportunity.
But it is the political boss—the man
who when elected to office or other
wise given political preferment gets
to feeling like he is master of the situa
tion and begins to show symptoms of
wanting to he a boss—this is the fel
low who is sure to lose out in short or
der in the game of polities in Georgia.
A political tyrant soon loses out. and
the demagogue rarely succeeds in do
ing business at the same stand through
more than one otlicial term in Georgia.
The people rule in Georgia. Tney
sometimes go wrong, but when they do
they have the happy faculty of soon
getting right again, and in righting
the ship of state they usually know
who and what to cast, overboard.
Speaking Plainly.
The Bohemian.
The following anecdote, after re
maining in storage many years, has
been recently dusted and brought to
light.
A young and afterward distinguished
attorney from an up-country district of
New York State was arguing his first
appeal in the Old General Term of Su
preme Court. He had been in many le
gal scrimmages in justices’ courts at
home, but had never stood in the awe
some presence of five sedate and learn
ed Judges of the Supreme Court, in
General Term assembled. His embar
rassment was great. He repeated him
self and misplaced his words so often
that it was quite evident he must
soon be routed by his own confusion
unless something should occur to break
the spell. Finally, anti just as he was
floundering the deepest in a chaotic
jumble of language and ideas, the pre
siding Judge interrupted with the fol
lowing remark:
“Mr. Snuthers, l believe it will be
a great relief to yourself and to the
court if you will address us in the same
free and informal way that you doubt
less use in addressing your local Jus
tice of the Peace. ”
“Well, then,” replied Smithers, “I
wish that while I am busy alleviating
your honor’s dense ignorance of the
law, you would keep yourd d mouth
shut!’’ The court laughed heartily
and waved for him to proceed. He
grew eloquent, and won his case in the
midst of hearty applause.

Sometime ago, I had Rheumatism and had to
quit work. The pain in my back and between
my shoulders was so intense I could not rest or
sleep. I tried everything, but nothing did me any
good till I heard of and took S. S. S. This med
icine cured me sound and well. It purified my
blood and made me feel like a new man.
CONRAD LOHR,
Anderson, Ind. 122 E. 19th St.
I was severely troubled with Rheumatism. I
had it in my knees, legs and ankies, and any one
who has ever had Rheumatism knows how excru
ciating the pain is and how it interferes with one
at work. I was truly in bad shape—having been
bothered with it for ten years, off and on. A
local physician advised me to use S. S. S. I did
so. After taking two bottles I noticed the sore
ness and pain were greatly reduced. I continued
the medicine and was thoroughly cured; all pain,
soreness and inflammation gone. I recommend
S. S. S. to all Rheumatic sufferers.
J. L. AGNEW,
803 E. Greenbrier St. f Mt. Vernon, Ohio.
Every case of Rheumatism lias its origin and its development in the
blood. It is not a disease which is contracted like a cold, but it is in the
blood and system before a pain is felt, and the changes in the weather or
any physical irregularities, such as a spell of indigestion, bowel disturbance,
etc., are merely the exciting causes producing the pains and aches, which
are the natural symptoms of the disease. Rheumatism is caused by an
excess of uric acid and other corrosive, irritating poisons in the blood, which
are carried through the circulation to every part of the system. Every
muscle, nerve, membrane, tissue and joint becomes saturated with these
acrid, irritating impurities, or coated with fine, insoluble caustic matter,
and the sharp, piercing pains or the dull, constant aches are felt with every
physical movement. When the blood is filled with uric acid poison, perma
nent relief cannot be expected from liniments, plasters, or other external
treatment. Such measures give temporary relief, but in order to conquer
Rheumatism and bring about a
complete cure, the uric acid and
other inflammatory matter must be
expelled, and this cannot he done
witli external treatment. S. S. S.
cures Rheumatism because it is a
perfect and entirely vegetable blood
purifier. It goes down into the
circulation, neutralizes the acids,
and dissolves the irritating depos
its which are pressing on the sensi
tive nerves and tissues and produc
ing pain, enriches the weak, sour
blood, and removes every atom of
impurity from the circulation. So
instead of being a weak, sour
stream, distributing uric acid to the
different parts of the system, the
blood is strong and healthy and
therefore able to supply every mus
cle, nerve, bone and tissue with nourishment and strength. Then the inflam
mation’ and swelling subside, the pains and aches cease, and not only is
Rheumatism permanently cured, but under the fine tonic effects of S. S. S.
the entire general health is benefitted and built up. In all forms of Rheuma
tism, whether acute or chronic, S. S. S. will be found a safe and reliable treat
ment. Special book on Rheumatism and any medical advice you desire will
be furnished free. THE SWIFT SPECIFIC CO., ATLANTA, GA.
No man is wholly free from sin, but
so many lesser evils are tolerated that
a man should hesitate long before be
coming a dead-beat. Criminals are de
spised and abhorred, hut to the dead
beat all that is coming, as well as the
contempt of his fellow men. There is
something at once so mean and so lit
tle in taking advantage of the confi
dence which comes with friendship
that the hand of every man is turned
against a dead-beat as soon us his rep
utation is well established. The dead
beat may fondly imagine he is living
easv and making money without work,
and. of course, he takes no account of
the confidence he violates and the hard
ships he inflicts on others. But, that
aside, he really has a harder time than
the man who is honest and fair. He
is compelled to move a good deal,
and peace of mind he knows not. Like
other types of crook, he doesn’t pros
per, and his finish is more unpleasant
than the beginning.

Love and Marriage.
Portland Oregonian.
There is nothing to prove that mar
riages contracted because of love are
any happier or more lasting than oth
ers. If we wish to see some of the
fruits of love between the sexes, we
have only to visit the police courts. Be
trayals, quarrels and even murder are
among its results. Couples who began
their married life in a violent passion
of love are fully as common in the di
vorce courts as those who married for
convenience or money. Nature has ta
ken care that passion shall exist, but
matrimony is a human institution and
ought to be under the regulation of hu
man reason. It is not safe to leave a
matter so important wholly to undi
rected instinct. Love arises between
men and women at a period of their
lives when judgment is weak and ro
mance abundant. To permit young
people to stake their entire future
upon the impulse of a moment or tne
heated fancy of a week is not sensible.
Their preference for each other may
be lasting or transient. Nobody can
tell how it will turn out at the begin
ning. In any case, it should not be the
only factor considered in deciding upon
an arrangement which is to endure till
death. The dean of Bryn Mawr once
said that more marriages were wrecked
by a difference of tastes about bathing
and brushing the teeth than by most
other causes. She was right. In form
ing marriages we must attend to educa
tion. habits, tastes, and especially to
physical fitness.
During Change of Life,
says Mrs. Chas. Barclay
Graniteville, Vt.— “I was passing
through theChangeof Life and suffered
from nervousness

symptoms, and I
can truly say that

Vegetable Com
pound lias proved
worth mountains
of gold to me, as it
restored my health
and strength. I
never forget to tell
my friends what
Lydia E. Eiiikham’s
Vegetable Compound lias done for me
during this trying period. Complete
restoration to health means so much
to me that for the sake of other suffer
ing women 1 am willing to make my
trouble public so you may publish
this letter.” -2dits. Chas. Barclay,
R.F.D..Graniteville, Vt.
No other medicine for woman’s ills
has received such wide-spread and un
qualified endorsement. No other med
icine we know of has such a record
of cures of female ills as has Lydia E.
Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound.
For more than 30 years it has been
curing female complaints such as
inflammation, ulceration, local weak
nesses. fibroid tumors, irregularities,
periodic pains, backache, indigestion
and nervous prostration, and it is
unequalled for carrying women safely
through the period of change of life.
]f costs but little to try Lydia E.
Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound, and,
as Mrs.Barclaysays.it is "worth moun
tains of gold ” to suffering women.
