New York’s Disgrace.
The election of Gov. Sulzer,
of New York, no matter by
whom brought about or the cir
cumstances surrounding his
! public life, must be pronounced
a positive disgrace to the Em
pire state. Even his warmest
friends and stoutest defenders
confess that he is wholly unfit
i ted for the position. Ex-Sena
tor Hinman, who was the leader
in the defense of Gov. Sulzer,
made a painful admission in his
opening speech, when he said:
“The respondent is a plain,
affable man, easy to approach,
and a man who, until the year
1913, never made enerrties. He
has never had any business edu
cation or experience. Practi
cally all of his time since in the
80s has been taken up with his
duties as a legislator, either in
the assembly of the state or in
the house of representatives.
While a lawyer by profession,
about the only evidence of that
fact, as one witness stated it, is
that he had a law office. He ne
ver kept books of accounts oi
records of his transactions. He
is exceedingly careless and un
methodical. Details are some
thing to which he is almost a
stranger.”
A man who is a lawyer, but
never practiced law; who nev
er had any business education
or experience, who never kept
books or accounts or records of
his transactions, who was ex
ceedingly careless and unmeth
odical, and who was a total
stranger to details, should not
have been elevated to the re
sponsible position of governor
of the Empire state, and would
not have been but for the cor
rupt politics that obtains there,
and in which he was a shining
light and a lifelong beneficiary.
When such men are elevated to
positions of trust and responsi
bility there is something funda
mentally wrong that ought to
j be remedied.—Memphis News
Scimitar.
It. will hardly do to waste
much sympathy on poor Sulzei.
The court which tried him for
various offenses, found him
guilty of several and public sen

SEVERE PUNISHMENT
Of Mrs. Cbappsll, of Five Year*
Standing, Relieved by Cardui.
_
Mt. Airy, N. C.—Mrs. Sarah M. Chan- '
pell of this town, says: “1 suffered for
five years with womanly troubles, also ,
stomach troubles, and my punishment
was more than any one could tell.
I tried most every kind of medicine,
but none did me any good.
I read one day about Cardui, the wo
man’s tonic, ~nd I decided to try it. •
had not taken out about six bottles until
I was almost cured, it did me more
good than all the other medicines I had
tried, put together.
My friends began asking me why I
looked so well, and I tola them about
Cardui. Several are now taking it.”
Do you, lady reader, suffer from any
of the ailments due to womanly trouble,
such as headache, backache, sideache,
sleeplessness, and that everlastingly tired
feeling?
If so, let us urge you to give Cardui a
trial, we feel confident it will help you,
just as it has a million other women in
the past half century.
Begin taking Cardui to-day. You
won’t regret it. All druggists.

Treatment for Women,” in plain wrapper. N.C. 184
timent likewise condemns him,
based upon the evidence as re
ported by the newspapers. The
deposed governor proposes to
keep up the fight and he might
as well, for the Tammany crowd
refused him quarter when he
might have been saved from
disgrace and there is no reason
why he could be useful to them
now.
While Sulzer was tried as
governor for acts committed
prior to his becoming governor
and would never have been
brought to bar at all, had hq
not thrown off the yoke of Tam
many, refused to let Murphy
dictate his appointments and
carried the fight before ^the peo
ple in an effort to secure a real
direct primaries law, still his
enemies, regardless of their mo
tives, have proven his unfitness
for high official position and
there are better men to lead the
fight for honest government and
needed reform in New York
than Sulzer’s type.
Sulzer wore the ring collar
secretly for years and it was
these selfish interests that set
aside Dix under popular clamor
and offered Sulzer, who had out
wardly maintained his reputa
tion at least. Lack of business
and professional experience and
training will never excuse him
and the advocates of good gov
ernment in the Empire state,
without regard to party, are in
better fighting position with
Sulzer out than in. And the
lesson may prove opportune and
helpful in requiring the people
to discriminate between men*
whei-e one is guided by principle
and the other demagoguery.
The latter often leaves down a
gap, where insight into his real
character and cunning may be
observed and as the tribe in
creases in numbers, the public
is being called upon to exercise
closer scrutiny of its servants.

These things vitally concern
the people, the growth and pro
gress of the county and the vot
ers should always give more
than ordinary concern in their
selection of the best county
judge from among those who
offer for this position. This
responsibility falls to the vot
ers and it is not our province or
desire to say.
The Independent, however,
has no hesitancy in commending
Mr. Johnston as an exemplary
young man of strong character
