To CLEVELAND
HIGH HONOR
IS PAID
FORMER PRESIDENT WAS CIV
EN- DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF
JURISPRUDENCE BY Angus
TINIAN COLLEGE TUESDAY.

PHILADELPHIA, June 17.-For the first
time in the history of the United States
the honorary degree of doctor of jurispru-
dence has been conferred today at the
Augustinian college Of St. Thomas, of VII
lanova.
The recipient was Former President
Grover Cleveland, who had already had
Princeton university. The ceremony OF
comforting the degree upon Mr.. Cleveland
was a part of the commencement exercises
of the college and followed the dedication
Of new monastery, college and chapel.
Among other honorary degrees the Aus
trian ambassador. Ladislas Hengelmuel-
Ter, Baron Won Hengerbar received the
degree Of doctor Of philosophy.
Previous to comforting the diplomas, Mr..
Cleveland spoke briefly as follows:
This incident prominently suggests to
my mind the imperious edict of education,
which forbids the hinderance or disturb
ance Of its high mission by religious dis
elimination, social intolerance or any of
the barriers that to a greater or less ex-
tent separates civilized humanity. The
republic of education Is based upon iden-
tical aim, equal rights. In its opportunity
and impartiality in the distribution of its
rewards and honors?
"The processes Of education. as they
exist in this country Of ours, have, or al
ways should have, In addition to other
characteristics, especial harmony Of pun
pose and design, as they are related to our
government and this should constitute be-
tween our institutions of learning a bond
Of close fraternity. Whatever other OBJ
jects and purposes may be involved In ed
vocational efforts among US, one Of It's con-
slant and prominent aims should be the
cultivation and maintenance Of high
standard of American citizenship. When
we recall the fact of the beneficence of
our scheme Of government depends on the
virtue and education of the units of our
citizenship 1t Is at once apparent that an
important and common duty rests upon
every agency that undertakes the in
struction of the youth of our land.
'Tt will be sad day for our nation when
the forces of education and the teachers
of moral living shall cease to strive in
unity to leaven the entire mass Of our
citizenship or when their influence in that
citizenship shall be divided and circum-
scribed by religious and sectarian differ
ences."
The ex-President then addressed the
graduates, pointing out some of the duties
and responsibilities they were entering
upon and concluded as follows:
''You may be sure that you will fail to
meet these obligations II you are not con-
stantly and solemnly impressed with the
conviction that your educational advan-
tages are only valuable as they better
fit you to do your duty to your God, to
your country and to your fellow man.
Mr. and Mrs. Cleveland and the other
distinguished guests lunched at the col
lege after the ceremonies.

WAS STATE PROHIBITION
ISSUE IN CAMPAIGN

To the Editor of The Journal:
The Journal says that il was.
The Index of this week says: During
the late gubernatorial campaign the In
dex was entirely silent on the subject of
the candidates and their claims to the
votes of the people Believing that there
was not at issue the question of liquor
or no liquor in our state. but only that
of the best way of controlling liquor, we
did not feel that there was any princi-
pie at stake calling for our going be-
yond our rule Of not letting the Index
'dabble' in politics"
Which is right? During the campaign,
most of the papers. except The Journal,
tried to disguise the issue and keep it
from before the people.
The real question is two fold. 1st Was
prohibition the issue? I'd. Was IL so I'M
derstood 4?
AS a matter of simple historical justice.
let 1t be said now. The Georgia Baptist
convention brought the isue TO the front
by resolution adopted at Augusta in 1895,
repeated at Savannah In 1899, and again
at Griffin in 1900. and yet again at Val
dosta in 1901 and at Rome In 1902. The
resolution conformed to the declaration
made by the Georgia Prohibition asso-
citation II or is years ago. But that as
ISOLATION had never pressed the issue and
did not attempt to do it until the Georgia
BaptlSt convention Dy ltS acLlOn Maue II
seem wise to do so.
At Griffin, in 1900, the convention de-
clared for the suppression Of the drink
traffic, begged the Baptists OF the state
to vote for no man who was not in favor
of state prohibition, and provided for
test by which all voters could find out
who could be relied upon. The commit
tee appointed by the convention did, at
the proper time, apply the test, and Mr..
Query alone met the conditions.
The Methodist conference concurred by
resolutions and co-operated with these
committees.
Mr.. Query opposed the licensing of the
drink business anywhere in the state. Mr..
Terrell favored the licensing Of the bust
ness at convenient places in the state TO
be selected by local option"
This issue was made just as clear as IL
could be made. None ever tried before
the people was ever more clearly defined
yet probably no such issue was ever more
successfully covered over by the opposi-
ton of its enemies and the silence of its
friends.
The Index is utterly at fault when il
saws THE issue was merely as TO the
best way of controlling liquor" That has
never been true. The Sentinel has never
discussed that question As evangelist OF

COBB COUNTY CHAIRMAN
REPLIES TO col. ESTlL
tor of The Journal:

To the Editor Of The Journal:
/ have Just noticed in the Atlanta Con-
satution a letter from Hon. j. H Estill'
inAwhich he says the primary OF June oth
was conducted against him, ana tnat the
count of the tickets was also against MS
interests as a candidate for governor.
L just have this to say, that the ballot
box of this county is ready to have an
investigation just when he sees proper
to do SO. The ballots are with the tally
sheets and in the vault Of the clerk OF the
superior court and county treasury, seal
ed, and are subject to an examination or
an investigation.
If Colonel Estill deems that an invesu-
CATION of the ballots and recount VIII
be to his interest he is at liberty to re-
count them. but he win find them to be all
right
The election In this county was not run
in the interest of any one candidate, and
a fair ballot was given each and every
candidate, and the count was just as II
was printed on the ticket with the other
names erased OF.
In reference 10 the circular put out re-
garding the form of the ticket, etc, have
this TO say, that Hon. E. 7. Brown, chair
man Of the state executive committee,
wrote me the day before the election that
he thought we would be making mis-
take to count out or destroy the ballot
that Colonel EStin had circulated over the
county and that we would be held down
to the rules and regulations OF the state
executive committee.
There were about six or eight of those
tickets that referred to in the circular
that were used and voted, and when
counted the vote I counted them every
one and on investigation you will find
them to be just as I say. There was
nothing done in Cobb county that I am
afraid of investigation.
If any precinct failed to do what was
right in this county would hear from H..
At the meeting of the county executive
committee on June 9Th to consolidate the
vote the committeeman expressed them
selves that they had never held an cleo
ton with any more ease and fairness in
the different precincts during their terms
'as committeeman.

German and his sister-inlaw, Mrs. Thomas
c. German, have been arrested charged
with the murder of the latter's husband.
Thomas German. who was a wealthy cat
tie owner disappeared from his home two
weeks ago. and his wife and brother gave
IL out that he had gone west to seek an
other location for their herds.
A few days later Mrs. German and
James began selling the personal property
at the ranch. After dispOsing of as much
of It as they could. they left with a six
horse wagon. taking with them Mrs. Cor
mans three-year-old daughter.
Neighbors became suspicious and made
a search Of the premises. finding the mu-
tilated body Of Thomas German buried in
the garden. Sheriff Hale started in pur-
suit of the couple and arrested them at
Cody. German was disposed to fight and
was handcuffed with difficulty.
The little girl was not with them and II
is thought her body is in the Big Horn
river. Much excitement has been caused
by the arrests and the citizens are de-
handing that the child be produced un-
harmed at once. The man and woman are
in jail at Basin. awaiting a hearing.

ASHORE CHILD WHO WAS
FAST DROWNING.

A telegram to The Journal from
st. Augustine, Fla, tells Of daring res
cue made there Monday by Mr.. j. r.
Dillon o. this city, who plunged into the
Matansas river to save the life of
child. The child was, with some other
children, fishing and fell of the bridge
across the river. Mr.. Dillon, without one
moments hesitation, plunged into the
river, caught the child and swan ashore
with it. The river was deep and swift at
the point and only Mr.. Dillon's daring
would have saved the child from drown
ing.
Mr.. Dillon, who is connected with the
Southern Bell Telephone and Telegraph
company, in the capacity of "right-of-
way man. is we'll known in Atlanta and
all over the state. He is strong and
nervy swimmer, and is receiving great
praise from every one In st. Augustine
