CURRENT COMMENT.

The Nashville American says, men
like Gen. Gordon, who ably served the
South and did their whole duty in time
of war became earnest, honest advo-
Gates OF fraternal union and peace
without bitterness when the war was
over. Bravely as Gen. Gordon served
the South on the bloody field, as no
bly, did he serve 1t In peace. His ex-
ample is worthy of emulation by all
manly men,"
(Dem) says: 80 far from being the
party of achievement. the Republican
managers are going to the people on
the record of what they have not done.
They mean to rely on promises, which,
as in former years. can be made to fit
the particular locality. After the cleo
tion the platform declarations may be
described, as they have been hereto
fore, not as party pledges, but as the
views of the Committee on Resolu-
TONS"
The Birmingham News (Dem.) says:
mo one should question Mr.. Bryan's
integrity nor sheer at his ability. Mr..
Bryan's personality Is not at stake.
The party welfare is hanging in the
balance. so long as Mr.. Bryan's at
titude threatens the integrity of the
organization. thus becoming the most
valuable asset the Republicans have,
he must be so treated. 1t is to be
hoped that Mr.. Bryan win reconsider,
but II not, the party platform should be
constructed regardless Of his desires
MIR. Bryan must bow TO the will of the
majority"
The Philadelphia Record (Dem.)
says: Joseph Ralph Burton of Kan
sas, is the last United States senator
whose dealings with postal affairs have
been of such character as to furnish
ground for indictment at the hands OF
a federal grand jury. OF course 1t will
never do for Pennsylvania to shake
n reproVlng finger at New York, Ne
braska. Kansas or any other state
whose representatives at Washington
have been hailed before the courts for
criminal practices. There Is. however.
no harm, even upon the part OF a news
paper published I'm Philadelphia in
suggesting that greater care Of se-
lection should he observed by state
Legislatures and the constituencies of
Congress districts. There is danger in
sending too many men to Congress
who ought 10 be headed in the direc-
tion OF the penitentiary.r

MIR. BRANNEN A CANDIDATE.

The announcement of Mr.. ], A.
Brannen of Statesboro that he is a
candidate for the nomination to Con-
gross from this district causes no sur
prise. 1t was expected. His ambition
to represent the district has long been
known, and it is but just to him to say
that he has host of friends who want
him to represent it.
There are but few better known men
in this section OF the state than Mr..
Brannen. He is a lawyer OF ability,
having wide acquaintance with busi-
ness and general affairs. a public
spirited citizen and a man Of integrity
and forceful character. -
OF course Mr.. Brannen submits his
claim to the nomination to the voters
of the district at the primary. Those
who know him we'll understand that it
is his purpose to make a clean canvass
but strong one. Whatever he under
takes he strives to do well. Hence,
when the canvass is ended he and his
friends will have the satisfaction of
knowing that whether he wins or loses
he did his best to win success.
No doubt 1t is Mr.. Brannen's pur-
pose to visit all parts of the district
during his canvass to meet the voters
and tell them the grounds on which he
bases his claim to the nomination,
They will find him a courteous, culti-
waited and frank-spoken gentleman
who will be glad to discuss political
issues with them, and who will make
1t clear that IL he should be chosen to
represent them in the lower branch of
with honor to them and credit to HIM
self,

The verdict of the coroher's jury in
the matter of the Iroquois Theater dis
aster, In Chicago, holds Mayor Har-
rison in a measure responsible for
the fire and loss of life. 1t is to be
observed that that part of the jury's
verdict which refers to Mayor Har-
rison smacks somewhat of politics, but
in all likelihood there was politics in
volved in the matter before the catas-
trophe, as well as after it in the jury's
verdict. AS the executive head of the
city administration, 1t was the duty of
the Mayor to see that the laws were
complied with. The evidence submit
ted at the inquest tended to show that
there were gross violations of the law,
and incompetency, or worse, on the
part of the official inspectors Of build
ings. The inspectors were doubtless
given their offices because Of their po-
litical influence, not because of their
competency. The places were looked
on as political jobs, to be distributed
among the workers for the party in
power. Public safety was a secondary
consideration, If 1t received any consid-
GRAFTON at all. The verdict of the
cOroner's jury places the matter be-
fore the grand jury and leaves it for
that body to say whether or not in
dictments shall be issued against the
Mayor the manager, of the theater and
various inspectors. For so terrible a
disaster, somebody at fault ought to
be punished.

Col. Nose" Wetmore, a staunch
Democrat of st. Louis, has originated
the idea of endowing the Democratic
party. In a eodIcll TO his will he has
provided that a certain round sum of
money shall be set aside from his es-
tate and placed with a trust company
for the benefit of the party. His idea
is that Democratic success should not
be dependent upon mere temporary
contributions, but that permanent
funds should be established for the pro-
mitigation of sound Jeffersonian prin-
ciples.

If radio-actlvity is what is needed to
cure cancer, there is hope for all suf-
ferers from the affection except pos
sible those in its last stages. The
scientists have discovered that radium
is only one Of many substances char
acterized by that activity. Thorium, 1t
is said, stands in fair way to take
the place of radium as a radioactive
agent in therapeutics. Thorium is a
rare element, discovered by BerzeIius
in 1928. 1t is found in certain sands
In North Carolina, Brazil, Norway and
Sweden. It costs about 81 pound,
against tens of thousands of dollars

past few years thorium has been used
chiefly for producing the incandescence
