THE LA W ON FIRE DEPART MENT AND IMPEACHMENT We sal la?t night that Gordon was ' promising things already eithsr provided f?r ry law or things which would re in violation of the law. We quoted the gist here is the law which covers our statement. Mr. Gordon claims credit for things which he cannot do and which he abuses other candidates for not adopting. We refer to the firemen's plank and the guarantee. ; -Hera la the law: Burns' Annotated Statutes. Section 8781. ' "Every member of the fire and police forces, and all other appointees of tbe commissioners of public safety, hall hold office until they are removed by the board.

Upon any Investiga tion of the conduct of any member of the fire or police forces or upon the trial of any charge preferred against any member of either of such forces, such board of commissioners shall have power to compel the attendance of witnesses, and the production of books, papers and other evidences, at any meeting of such board, and for that purpose may issue subpoenas and cause the same to be served and executed in any part of the county where such city is located.

Vote As You Honestly Think For the good of the republican party, and the good of the town, there are two men who should be defeated for tbe nomination. For the good of the party Zimmerman and Gordon should not be nominated. And we have endeavored to give the people of the town our reasons as the campaign has progressed. From the large number of people who have agreed with us we have additional reason to believe that we are right. In . a primary in which there have been and still are so many currents, one fact has stood out above all others which cannot be denied. That is that this time the republicans have to nominate a man who can bring credit to the party this time personal reasons have , to be a secondary matter this time the good of the party and the good of the town have to be looked after. ...,.,..... A man should be nominated that the party can support. A man must be nominated who is without reproach as to his life his, record and his connection with the party.

THE PARTY AS A PARTY WANTS A NEW DEAL. AND A SQUARE DEAL. There can be, for the good of the party and the town, no hanging back on the part of republicans. No hanging back on the plea that they do not know how things are going to go. If men will think right and vote as they think vote for the good of the party and the good of the town there will be no trouble. " And it is our belief, from the signs of tbe last few days that the silent thinking men who are not saying much in' this campaign, are going to decide the thing. The men who are not taken in by tricks, who are thoroughly conversant with what Zimmerman stands for and what Gordon really is, are not going to swallow either one of them.

We believe this not only from the temper of the people, but we believe it because we have confidence in the men of the party. There are enough men in the party who will not stand for debauchery, for the corruption of the whole town, for the falling back into the old order of things. We believe that there are enough men who can grasp the significance of campaign lies and the false promises and egotism and the longing for absolute power and dictatorship, well enough to rebel against them. And where are the women? You know where they are and what they stand for and a man who has stood for debauchery, for all that is low in man and politics cannot be elected while there is a feeling of guilt on that score. That is a thing that the republican party as a party will have to reckon with. And the party that has to fight women and the decent thing, is in a bad situation.

The time has come when republicans as real men men without a yellow streak in them, are coming forward to help the party. They are not aligned in the way that they have been in the past. They want a new deal and a square deal they want factional strife and the bolting of the party men stopped. They know as party men that Zimmerman or Gordon means party ill feeling they know as citizens of the town that Zimmerman means higher taxes and that Gordon means a city dictator who Is rash and flighty. AND THEY FEEL THAT THE ONLY WAY IN WHICH TO BEAT ZIMMERMAN AND GORDON FOR THE GOOD OF THE TOWN AND THE GOOD OF THE PARTY IS TO UNITE NOT TO SPLIT. THESE MEN. CANNOT UNDER THE PRESENT SITUATION SWALLOW GORDON OR ZIMMERMAN AND THEY CAN SUPPORT HARRIS. THEY ARE GETTING TOGETHER THEY HAVE THOUGHT AND THEY WILL ACT AS THEY THINK. IT IS NOW A QUESTION OF SUCH SERIOUS CONSIDERATION THAT THEY ARE READY TO ACT TO VOTE AS THEY FEEL.

If they split, the chance is gone. If they split or stay away from the polls in sheer disgust of Zimmerman and Gordon they have thrown away their vote and are morally responsible for what may happen. V There is only one way in which the party can be saved from serious harm. That is to unite on Harris and to vote as you honestly think. Unite on Harris to beat Zimmerman and Gordon. THE PARTY DOES NOT WANT ANOTHER DEMOCRATIC ADMINISTRATION UNITE THE PARTY.

proceedings thereunder including tbe vote and order of impeachment or removal. Such court or the judge thereof in vacation shall within ten days after the granting of such appeal rehear the matter of the charges against such officer de novo and the finding and judgment of such court in sustaining and .overruling such charges shall be final and conclusive upon the parties. In case such charges are sustained upon said appeal said order of impeachment or removal shall at once be in full force and effect. THE INCOME TAX. Mr. Aldrich insists upon his figures. The Payne bill as amended by the republican members of the senate finance committee will produce revenue enough to support the government He reinforces his own calculations with those of treasury officials, and asks that they be accepted. V ' 4 But, says the senator, still balancing the question, if the figures fall short, the solution will not be more taxes, but smaller appropriations. Estimates will have to be reduced to meet the : amounts raised by the customs schedules. He thinks that, anyhow, we have been spending too much money. He could apply the knife and lop off fifty millions of dollars annually. This is not the most assuring kind of talk, even for a senate two-thirds republican, and it leaves the? country at large a little cold toward Mr. Aldrich's position. The revenue-producing power of a tariff bill should not carry as an attachment a single if. but or and. It 'should be above all suspicion ' on that score. It should not be absolutely at the mercy of a fat year or a lean year in the matter of importations. Taxes should be laid so as to guarantee a liberal margin over - all reasonable expenditures.. The government's "support should be incontestably assured. This was the president's idea probably in recommending an Inheritance tax. That tax, he saw; would not bs subject to. the fluctuations attending customs taxes. It would afford the union of those fine old certainties, death "and 'taxes. There is a pretty steady death rate, even in this healthy country, and inheritance continue right along. A tax laid on them would always be good for a snug sum that would come in very well in any old year. And the same argument applies to an Income tax. Incomes would yield steadily, and business would be in no wise disturbed by changes in rates or adjustments from time to time. In this view of the general "question a debate on the income tax and other form of direct assessments should be welcomed. "whether any such taxes are levied now or not. The country is interested in the subject, and in the senate today are men unusually well qualified to discuss It Mr. Aldrich on the

one side and Mr. Bailey on the other, are alone worth the price of admission. The republicans are lucky in this feature as in others of the cpntest. If no direct taxes are laid at this session, and six months of tbe operations of the law without them should show

them necessary, they can be laid next' winter, eight or ten months before the day for choosing the new congress. Washington Star. Heart to Heart Talks. By EDWIN A. NYE. Copy.teht, 1908, by Edwin A. Nye TIE BOOK AND TEE BIG SUCK. One of the most Interesting of the stories of tbe late administration is the story of the book and the big stick or .- - A tale of muck raking and big stick ing. 7 Upton Sinclair, a novelist of the socialistic type, wrote a book called "The Jungle." ' The book told some horrid things about the practices of the Chicago packing bouses. Its nauseating revelations made many of its readerstemporarily, at least practieers of tbe vegetarian regime. Tbe Chicago packers had an easy answer to Sinclair's book "It Is not truer v'"" Then President Roosevelt got bold of the book and read It Too can fancy to yourself wbat he thought about it. He said out loud. "Either it Is a pack of lies from beginning to end or It Is true. The president thought there was no truth in tbe charges, but was very willing to Investigate. . He sent experts to Chicago. When these inspectors looked Into tbe shambles of Sooth Chicago they discovered that Upton Sinclair had told the truth about the filthy methods of the packers and the grave menace to the public health. - Out came the big stick. Roosevelt notified tbe friends of the packers In the senate that nnleas congress should pass a good meat Inspection but instanter he would tell the whole grewsome story of the revolting conditions in the big botcher shops of Packing-town. Bare was cause for grief. The packers did not want tbe truth made public. It would give both domestic and foreign trade a big black eye. The cattlemen didn't .want the story made public And the president assured both , these Interests that he did no, want to harm them, but - The president mid to them. "Get busy." - The effect was magical, They got

The Sunday School Commentary

SERMON, APRIL 25. BY In Acta vilL 1-4. we read that the persecution at the time of Stephen's martyrdom led to the scattering abroad from Jerusalem of all the disciples except the apostles and that they went everywhere preaching the Word. The lesson today begins just there with the statement that they which were scattered abroad went as far aa Phenice and Cyprus snd: Antioch, preaching the word to Jews only, but that some at Antioch spoke to tbe Grecians, preaching tbe Lord Jesus, and that a great number believed and turned to tbe Lord. That was a blessed scattering which sent tbe good news so fsr from Jerusalem, but we cannot help wondering if the- disciples bad been obedient to Acts L 8, might the persecution have at that time been avoided, and yet persecution waa what they were taught to expect (Matt x. 23; John xv. 20). Well tbe fact stands that God expects us to be obedient for only aa we are so He can accom plish His pleasure in us (Isa. L 19). If there was a great scattering today of true believers to all the dark places of the earth, how ' soon tbe church, the body of Christ, might be gathered from an. nations! . . . When the church at Jerusalem heard the tidings from Antioch they sent to inquire about it and it was fortunate that they sent the man they did. for he had eyes to see the grace of God In others than Jesus and a heart to love all who loved the Lord. To this very day In this twentieth century, after the birth of the Messiah. It is not difficult to find those who cannot see sny grace of God in any outside of their own denomination. A visit from some Barnabas, full of the Holy Ghost snd of faith, would do them good If they would listen to such a one. Barnabas was glad to see the work of tbe Spirit In these people, snd his exhortation was that with purpose of heart they would cleave unto the Lord, not to the one who bad led them to the Lord bat to the Lord Himself. We are In a time of great following of men. but things wiU not be right till the Lord alone is exalted ass. it It 17). As we come In verse 25 to Saul and the visit of Barnabas to Tarsus to find him we had better pick up the threads of his story since his conversion. Having seen and heard the risen Lord Jesus, there was no conferring with flesh snd blood after the visit of Ananias, but he went off Into Arabia, perhaps like Elijah to Horeb, for further communion with God. Then he returned to Daxaascua, confounding the Jews, thereby proving that Jesus was Indeed the Messiah. Thar maTsttomhla.lwt.ttadbKl-

BY REV. S. Topic Hsro ef - African Jer. I, 4-12. A hero Is defined in a standard dictionary as. one "who displays great valor In the face of danger." If this Aennltioa be true the early missionaries to Africa, with many of the, present one, are heroes Indeed. In that vast dark continent, so well called by Stanley "darkest Africa." what dangers lay before those who entered It to preach the gospel of Christ dangers from climate, dangers from reptiles and wild beasts and. shove all. dangers from the Inhsbitsnts themselves! The Inhabitants of Africa are mentally tbe lowest grade of people to be found upon the face of the earth. Ignorance breeds cruelty and barbarity. They preyed upon each other: they held each other In the lowest snd vilest forms of sis very; they, even sold those of different tribes into slavery among other peoples. Africa until slavery was abolished by Christian civilization was the great slave market of tbe world. The race today Is tr?Jg norant and cruel, and grave CiSjrs still face tbe missionaries. YX; they have feared not these dangers. In meeting them they have displayed tbe greatest valor. From tbe south they approached northward, with little hope of sver seeing home again. From tbe Nile they have gone westward to the Sudan to , labor In great danger In small t Tillages snd smong nomadic tribestFfrom tbe western coast they have gone eastward into tbe Interior along -the great Kongo river, risking life st slmost every advance. And for what? Not for fame, not for fortune, not to display heroism, not for sny selfish purpose, but in obedience to their Master's command and to benefit the poor and needy souls of those who would have destroyed them. They went to lead them from the lowest forms of Idolatry to the highest form of religious worship tbe worship of the true God. Heroes Indeed! - ' In tbe short space hero allotted It Is only possible to mention even some of these great heroes, but the mention of s few of their names and deeds should fill us with new seal In the cause of saving great, dark Africa.

There was no welcome awaiting him there, the disciples being afraid of him. and iw was not tinut hiwdh ww aim and spoke on his behalf that the disciples were willing to receive him as one of them. As he spoke boldly at Jerusalem in the name of the Lord Jesus, his life was soon In danger there also, so tbe brethren took him to Caesarea and sent him to Tarsus, r If we cannot quite St Into their proper places his experiences of. chapters xxlL 17-21: Cat L 19L. 19l we can ac cept the record as it stands and adore : tbe grace of God. which so cared for and guided htm. and Imagine the fellowship which he and Peter muat save had those fifteen daya at Jerusalem.

These must have been blessed days for the believers at Antioch. who must have greatly grown in grace snd In the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ under such teachers, net the disciples were first -celled Christians, perhaps because their lives made It so manifest that they belonged to Christ.
