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 quality of the loves of the two sexes lies in the different powers of concen tration. Men love, it may be asserted, truly enough. Their hearts are touched Mark Twain’s Discount.

He was Their love is probably sincere j telling me that recently he went into the sales department of our house, and 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. being attracted by a particular book asked the price. “ ‘Four dollars,’ said the clerk. “ 'Well, now,’ said Mr. Clemens, ‘1 am a newspaper writer. Don’t i get a discount for that';” “ ‘Certainly,’ said the obliging clerk. “ ‘I am also a magazine writer. Do 1 get something off for that?’ “ ‘Yes,’ said the clerk, ‘you get a discount for that. ’ “ 'I’m also an author. Don’t I come in on the author’s discount?’ “ ‘Yes, sir; you get the author’s dis count. ’ “ ‘In addition,’ said Mr. Clemens, ‘I am a stockholder in this house. Does that entitle me to something off?’ " ‘Yes, sir,’ the clerk returned. “ ‘Now, ’ continued Mr. Clemens, ‘1 would like to state that I am Samuel Clemens. Does that fact entitle me to another rake-off?’ “ ‘It does,’ said the clerk after a moment’s hesitation. “ ‘That’s good, ’ replied the author. ‘Now, how much do I owe you?’ “ ‘We owe you 80 cents,’ said the clerk.'* 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 ry?” “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. If a wife refuses to divorce her peptic husband—that is love. dys- 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.

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. That no matter how much of a start Art has. a girl always hands over her heart when the right man comes along. 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 a ml other annoying symptoms, and I can truly say that Lydia K.l’inkham’s 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. Newnan Hardware Co.
