Who, looking upon the season's hats Jlor men. can doubt the fulness of perKmal liberty? Occasionally you meet a foreigner or a college professor who calls it "pumpkin" pie. "Germs can get into fresh eggs," declares a scientist. And they can also get into scientists. Wonder if the St. Ixmis debutante who sold wall paper knows how it seems to be a wallflower. Another thin? to worry about! In 200,000 years the Big Dipper will be no more, so astronomers say. Possibly you are thinking of the fihimv of ralsine notatoes instead o grass on your lawns next year.

Hearken to the sporting writer who refers to right field as "right plais ance. Twenty cent dinners caused the suicide of a Chicago girl. And the ,11Hf average man may say it was cause. The nude in art is to be barred from the mails, but there is no indication that it will be barred from public discussion. Kansas City has been consuming a ton of bad eggs a day. That's enough to make any town wear a pained expression. One of these days medical science, in iti hunt for fads, will market a virus to immunize the hungry against the ill effects of perfectly good oysters. Philadelphia designs to set wife deserters to crushing stone. The only objection the public is likely to make Is that the work will not be hard enough. Since the golf championship has been wrested from England, poor old John Bull will probably recall that he really never did care for anything but cricket. Gold output in the United States decreased $3,439,000 last year. This might bring prices down a little if the Rand did not keep on turning out a big production. Fame is gained In many odd ways, but one of the queerest bids is that of an English coachman whose claim to have his name go thundering down the ages Is based on the fact that this year he has killed over 50,000 wasps. Although umbrellas were invented in 1777, no one has found a corner where they might be placed in safety on a rainy day. The Pennsylvania telephone girl when told that she was heir to' a large sum of money probably said, "number, please." In seven years the United States government has inspected 377.000.000 animals, not one of which appreciated the honor conferred. Again are the farmers in that smiling attitude, "you city guys can kid us all you want to, but look at that 1913 crop's money bag." In time to come maybe a man with his family in his automobile will take the trouble to get out of the car at a railroad crossing and see whether a train is coming.

Persons who travel In some coach es these days should not think too se riously about the good luck accom pknying "touching wood."

COURT OUSTS SULZER
EX-GOVERNOR OF NEW YORK BLAMES TAMMANY CHIEF DENIES ALL CHARGES. SAYS MURPHY WROTE VERDICT High Court of Impeachment by Vote of 43 to 12 Removes Executive Refuses to Bar Him From Holding Future Offices. . Albany, N. Y., Oct. 18. William Sulzer, by a vote of 43 to 12, was removed from the office of governor of New York. Twenty minutes after he had been served with notice of his removal, he gave to the public a state ment in which he denounced his trial as a lynching and declared that Charles F. Murphy was judge, jury "Had I but served the 'boss with the zeal j did tne state, William SulZGr WOuld never have been impeached," was the keynote of the statement. Sulzer asserts: That Murphy began war on him when he refused to call off the investigation of graft by which the state had lost millions of dollars. That he did not appropriate campaign contributions to his own use. That he paid to campaign committees au 0f the money he collected. That he is poorer today than he ever was in his life. That he was in debt $70,000 when he became a candidate for governor. That Duncan W. Peck and Allen A. Ryan falsely testified against him. That the proceedings of the court were held in secret That he was lynched by an assembly and a senate controlled by Charles F. Murphy, whom he charged with writing the ultimate verdict. The former governor also declares nis purpose to go on tue ieciui Iormi At the time or tne actual juagmeut Martin H. Glynn became governor by Virtue Of succession from tne Oince of lieutenant-governor and Robert Wagner, president of the senate, became lieutenant-governor. Speculation as to what revelations. if any, William Sulzer will make when out or omce toon: tne piace oi lu im- .... . T J. it .11.1 I peachment in the minus oi tne ponucal workers. Will Take No Further Action. The indication was that no further action would De taJten against tne iormer governor unless he made such charges against Tammany workers as demanded a war of extermination. The conviction on the charge of perjury left an indictahle offense fully sustained by the court of last resort and made the way easy for indictment if one were to be pressed. The court voted unanimously not to disqualify the governor from future offices of trust. "The respondent having been convicted," said Chief Judge Cullen, "of the first, second and fourth articles of the impeachment, it now becomes necessary that the court should determine what the judgment that should be passed upon such conviction. Under the rules the first question is: "Shall the respondent be removed from office? "If there is no objection made the vote on that proposition will be taken in the same manner as the preceding votes, but, gentlemen, Instead of saying yes or no, you will please say whether you vote for removal from omce or not. The court voted Governor Sulzer unanimously not guilty on article o The article charged him with having prevented Frederick L. Colwell from testifying. Then article 6 was read and "Not guilty" voted in short order. The larceny charge had received its first blow at the very beginning of the court's work when Chief Judge Cullen stopped evidence bearing upon the question of larceny long enough to point out the legal shortcomings of the article. Articles 7 and 8, charging that the governor used the authority and influence, of his office to effect legislation on his direct primary bill and other bills and with attempting to influence the prices of stocks on the New York stock exchange, were put through the same rapid-fire system of dismissal. The senators voted "Not guilty' just as fast as they could be called. "The respondent under the vote as announced by the clerk is acquitted as charged in the article." was the formal announcement of Chief Judge Cullen, after the 57 votes were at each roll call reported by Clerk Patrick E. McCabe as "Not guilty." Governor William Sujzer was convicted by the high court of impeachment on three counts. The final vote was 39 to IS. The court, consisting of the state senate and the judges of the court of appeals, found the New York execu five guilty of making a false campaign statement to the secretary of state, of converting campaign funds to his own use and of using his office to prevent the truth being brought out at the investigation. The governor was found not guilty of stock speculation. Rob Postoffice of $2,000. Memphis. Tenn., Oct. 18. Yeggs blew the safe In a branch postoffice at Buntyn, a suburb of Memphis, and in G.
