"No matter-what happens to me I shall aot day any Btatoment made by Miss tola NOrri." says young CamJnettl, her alleged tradueer; "I have the greatest respect for Hit Norris." Evidently a peculiar kind of respect, if the facta are as havo te 7 Mass IWH, Technicalities. One of tho hoated arguments pro clpltated by tho impeachment of Gov ernor Sulacf revolves about tho ques tion whether ho la, Dr Is not, trying to hide behind technicalities. Al though tho Isbuos in the easo have not yet been Joined, tho defenses put up for the governor by his friends havo been first, that tho legislature convened In extra session for a par-' tlcular and stated purpose, exceeded Its authority when It proceeded to take up tho charges against the gov crnor; second, that tho acta com- plained of, committed, if committed at all, by Mr. Bulser in a private ca pacity berore ho became governor, are not cauBo tor Impeachment; and third, that Governor Sulzor has a right to contlnuo to act as executive by reading tho word "Impeachment" In the constitution to moan tho word 'conviction." It is worth noting, howovor, that tho Outlook, which ordinarily de claims against tho technicalities of the law, insists that these defenses aro not technical. If a private per son under indictment set up that a truo bill should be thrown out: bo- causo tho grand Jury had proceeded to Investigate subject mattor not in cluded la its Instructions, or that tho criminal acts were barred by tho statute of limitations, ho would, ot course, according to the popular no tion, bo hiding behind technicalities. But tho Outlook declares that as a matter of essonttal Justice "ovory man has a right to resist by every lawful means what he believes to be the effort ot any court to oxercisa over him powers to which it is not entitled, ot to try him for acts tor which ho la not accountable before that court.'.' It wakes It all the more his duty to resist when the prososed action Involves anyone besides' him self pcreoniJly or a publlo office ot which he is eustedlaa. The position hers taken is un questionably sotiad and correct ex capt that it does not eloar the, de fense from being "technic&J," but father . JiMtlfiM the Interposing ot technlcAlltiea to the extent that they aro proper and legitimate. . What we call technicalities are, aa a matter of fact, legal safeguards Of Indl vidua! liborty. Although often abused and misused, they aro part of our Magna Charta, and it is as impor tant now as over that tho vilest criminal as well as tho highest out law bo presumed innocent until con vlctod by due process of law. Xmerrency Currency yrovisions. Authors of the administration cur rency bill explain that, if enacted Into law, it will provide for an emer gency currency so as to make clear ing house certificates unnecessary In the future. Ot course, clearing bsum .c,rtlfieates are reeerted to enly la 'emergencies, such as arom Juris the fisaMki sriaa'iii i87, wk tky serve very mm teat porpeses, tkeftt4ftUy strAtlag UieXr ttHfa ft atteh eaa4ttka.

O. Holden. fonaeirly of the Ames (la.) Agricultural College who knows the tamers well enough to address them la pkln tenia with out of feat, in urging tkosa who have eronrn old and rich to stay on the farnf instead of retiring to the city, says: A retired farmer is a nuitsanse in town, when he move there simply to die cheap. He Is against all Improvements, because such things cost money, and he wants to keep his taxes down. Stay on your farm. Don't buy more land, but Improve what you have. Put In a system of water works. Put in a lighting plant (ttay on your farms and when you finally pay the debt f Nature your friends and neighbors will regret your death and thjra will bit a. nracutltn half a tnlln tnnif I to follow you to your grave. Hut if you move to town you won't have much of a procession and alt the neighbors will say that It Is a good thing that las close fitted old codger is out ot the way. The olty'H latehstrlne is always out to the retired farmer, who,, ot course, makes an excellent and often very useful citizen, and yet underneath the facetious remarks of Prof. Holdea lies a big kernol of truth and wis dom. It is not that tho city does not welcome ahd want the venerable man from the farm, but ti)at the farm most needs htm. for it Is with its wel fare and future be is best fitted by xperinc to deal, And the farm loses tooro than it can afford! when ever ono .of its sages departs. But after all, tha old man Is probably bo different than the young one, to whom sermons of "back to the farm" are so persistently preached. If the notion ot coming to live In town strikes him, ho Is coming, and there I the matter usually ends.

"Baalnese Woman Comes Dack OMAIIA, Aeg. 2J.-TO the Editor of The Bco: I am much interested In tha dUscussion which my letter on early closing haa brought out, but I do not see that any ot my very earnest op ponents have answered the question "When are the office people to do their ahopplngf "A Mere Department Store Girl" ask when I think the store clerke do theirs. They v do tt during their own working hours. They naturally do mosc of tholr buying In the store where they nre ur ployed, because they aro allowed a lib eral "employes' .discount" on all their purchases, and it Is" an easy mattor for them to find opportunities to visit tho other counters under tho fsamo root. You see them doing It every time you enter a store. No, I have never contended that it was "a satisfaction" to shop after C o'clock. We would all prefer to shop In daylight It we had any daylight of our own. As to tho query why should not the offices be asked to keep open evenings for the benefit of the salespeople, let me call attenttoh to the tact that many of the offices with whom working people particularly have dealings, do keep open certain evenings, foe Instance the Savings banke and the building ahd loan com panies. The drug stores, who serve us all, are open every night, and until a late hour. Does the Department store cllrl feel "selfish" when she goes into the drug store for a soda or ice cream In the evening? Aa to the wholesale houses, It ts not necessary for their offices to be open at night, because their customers are the retailers, who do business on their own time. The wholesalers do not serve the conerat publto direct; though in this dlsoueelon t will say that many whole sale offices, to my personal knowledge. require part ot their offloe force, includ- ng the women, to work several evening In succession at the beginning and end ot &9h month. There are only four, or occasionally five, Saturday evenings In a month, and they ore followed by a day of nfst If 1 can be Justly accused of "selfish ness" because I ask for an opportunity to buy my clothing, etc., in person, then tt Is equally Just for me to call the de partment store girl selfish beoause she Is not willing to' sacrifice her convenience for my good. Cut either Idea la silly, Z do not blame the salespeople for, wanting as hort hours aa they can get nut all employes, whether In etqre or office, must sacrifice' much ot their inclination and convenience to their employers' in terests, and It would be Just as con sistent for office people to rebel because we cannot join the matinee crowds on Wednesdays and Saturdays, a for tho salespeople to rebel because they cannot have Saturday evening with us. All pursuits and employments have their own trials and inconveniences. One of our Is that we havo to buy our goods by gaslight 1 ndmlre the willingness e. the South Omaha offlos wornan to bear her share of discomfort.
