1t is one of the curios features of
the financial stringency that men
who were loudest iG their condemna-
ton of William J. Bryan and his free
silver fallacy are now writing to the
President and to the newspapers de
handing financial legislation which
would result in as great initiation as
the unlimited coinage of silver at Is
to /. OF course were such legislation
adopted many of these men would be
the first TO announce it's dangers.
For the present they have lost their
heads completely, it is claimed. Yet
after all is said and done, and histo-
ry shall have been written, it will be
seen and so written that Bryan was
right IN 1894-9 and tho driven from
his position, like many other things,
right once eterns.lly right, the cycle
of events is rapidly swinging round
his early convictions.

In our northern exchanges we read
interesting editorials of the coming
autumn, of the dying and fallen
leaves, and vegetation in decay, sad
reminders of the passing of a pleas

approach of the dread winter blasts.
In Sunny Alabama the winds sing no
sad requiem of departing pleasures, as
our forest is laden with green boughs
all the year through, the gardens
have tempting vegetables growing
within, and our holiday DINING

roses and other flowers, gathered
from our fruit yards, to say nothing
of the holly and miStletoe, which a

Theodore Roosevelt is not infalli-
BILE, nor is he paragon of virtue or
astuteness. He has some sins to au-
swer for, as he is quite human, with
faults like other men. But this at
tempt to make him responsible for
the present financial conditions oil
the country is sheer rot. A scapegoat
is needed and he is the most promi-
nent and plausible one to be found.
He has made little too free with the
sacred privileges of the big rich oil
the land; not so free by any means
as would Bryan, if he were President
but a little too free to suit the over
powerful nabobs of millionairedom.
The only fault impartial history will
find with Roosevelt is, that he failed
to go far enough in enforcing the an-
THRUST and railroad rate laws. But
credit should be given him for what
he has done. The howl he has raised
will not reflect upon him with honest
and intelligent people. And what
should he care for the opinion of 9TH

After the full restoration of conf

such vast proportions with deposits

it is foolish to longer depend upon

Entertained by the Soda Dispenser

from its October number
THE South of song and story is
sunny sunny with a vengeance
in the good old summer time-but
there are several months, beginning
abut this time, of weather that is
wintry enough most any day for hot
soda, and it is short sighted bust
ness policy that. does not make the
most of what is an undoubted trade
opportunity. The fountain s receipts
could be considerably increased in
every town in the South in winter if
an effort was madeto cultivate the hot
drink taste of the populace. Here in
Georgia, for example we are about to
have Statewide prohibition, and all
the colonies. majors and Judges
who have been used to planting their
manly forms in front of the bar and
ordering Bot Scotches, Tom and
Jerrys, Punches; and steaming al
coholic drinks galore ought to be
lured to the beautiful onyx fount by
equally delicious and hot soda bever
ages with snap and fizz in them.
Lots of people in the habit of drink
ing hot stuff over the A tlanta bars in
the winter will this winter patronize
the hot soda drinksof the soda fount-
aims instead, and this should serve as
q cue to soda fountain managers ever
where in the South, for the South is
pretty much all prohibition territory
now.

LEGAL STANDPOINT

ANN ARBOR. Dec. 12.-Was the
crucifixion of Jesus murder or jus
tifiable homicide?
Prof. Jerome c. Knowlton of the
University of Michigan, recognized
as one of the worlds leading au-
thorities. answers this question.
Characterizing the trial of Jesus
as the greatest in history, Prof
Knowlton, adhering strictly to le-
gal aspects of the case, finds that
Jesus on the charge of blasphemy,
Sabbath breaking or false prophecy
all of which were punishable by
death, could have made no defense
He finds the trial replete with
errors against the fundamental
provisions of the Jewish code. He
declares that Jesus was tried four
times, once convicted and three
times acquitted and was then pun
ished not for the crime of which
he had been convicted, but for
the crime of treason, of which he
had been thrice acquitted.

SMALL WAR ON
+: WITH JAPS

" LOS ANGELES, Dec. 12.-Japa-
nese and American fishermen are
maintaining a state of siege at San
Clemente island, off the Los An
geles county coast, with the Japa-
nese as the besieging force.
American craw fishermen have
had the exclusive use of the island
as craw fishing ground for years.
Sunday two boatloads of Japanese
fishermen approached the island,
intending to land and set up fish
ing camp.
When the two boatloads of laps
attempted to land the Americans
gathered on the beach and stoned
the boats SO effectually that the
Japs rowed away from shore to
consider.
Half an hour later the Japs con-
cluded to land anyhow, and at
tempted to do so. The boat was
capsized during the melee that fol
lowed in the surf and the Japs
were compelled to swim to their
one remaining boat. in which they
remained off shore for an hour,
attempting to force a landing.
The Americans prevented them
from landing and the Japs retire5
to a rocky islet off shore, where
they set up camp, with the
Americans keeping Il close watch
upon them to prevent a sortie to
the main island.
The Japs remained until Tues
day, when the Americans sent
boat to the main land and notified
their friends of the state of affairs.
No words has been received
from the island since that time ex-
cept that the Japanese boat came
in with a few of the invaders.

The same Is true of man. In

If his body be bent, some or all OF

And what is the cause of this al

The rare man who holds his
