Press dispatches state that Mr.. Taft has been
busy studying both platforms in preparation for
his speech of acceptance to be made next Tuesday
Mr.. Taft should study his platform well, for the
men who made it have made other platforms and
we'll understand how to frame a platform which
will hold the support of the moneyed interests If
MIR. Taft had had the privilege of making his own
platform he would not have to study it. No state
ment has been seen that Mr. Bryan has been COM
PEELED to study his platform in order to make a
speech on it.
Mr.. Taft holds position which is not at all an en-
vlable one to self-respecting man. Supposed to
be walking in Teddy's shoes, with ready-made
platform furnished by the republican capitalists,
and New York banker for running mate he
has to make special study of his position before
he dares to say anything.
There will be disillusionment of husbands the
day after in Georgia at least if the bill introduced
there by Representative George Glenn of Whitfield
district and favorably considered by the assembly
becomes law. Itdstinctly provides that an unmar-
rled woman may use many artificial aids to en-
hance her charms as she sees t but if she wants to
get married the deception must end with the begin
ming of courtship. The measure provides that should
woman entrap man into marriage through the
use of paints, powder, cosmetics artificial teeth,
puffs, rats paddngs drop-sttched hose, high hheeled
Shoes peek-aboo waists corsets, V-shaped lingerie
or other artifices the marriage shall be null and
void The bill has been referred by the speaker of
the house to the committee on ways and means and
is assured careful consideration.

Mrs John Sparks, widow of the COVER
nor, asks the court that she and her son,

which had named him as it's choice by
selecting John Quincy Adams to fill the
presidential Office.
But, in the campaign of 1928, the
General, who had done things differently
at the battle of New Orleans, seems to
have stimulated in men who advocated
or opposed him a desire to follow new
methods.
Jacksons first successful campaign in
1928 was opened by celebration of his
famous battle in the City of New
Orleans. Hero of the battle and presi-
Dental candidate, he attended as the
guest Of the state. On his way from
his home he was entertained at Natchez
A procession, Il banquet and Il ball kept
him as busy as is Taft these later days.
A feet of steamers was sent from New
Orleans to meet him. A throng greeted
him when he landed. Four days of
festivity, news of which stirred the per-
pie through the land, followed.
This was the beinning! With his
campaign for reelection, modern
methods were fairly established.

Too Much WhiSkey

Ben Klatte, the barber, and Geo.
WEIGH, the tailor who works for Mr..
Jacobs, started out to have a time yes
terday morning and Klatte landed
in the Boiling hospital and WEIGH in
jail. The young men attended the
opening of the Overland hotel Saturday
night and when that was over they play
ed poker until morning. About 8 o'clock
Sunday, they got a horse and buggy
from Mr.. Thompson and drove around
town sampling the whiskey at the diff
ferent saloons. They kept this UP for
about three hours. The whiskey began
to work and the young men began to
quarrel over what had happened the
night before. The quarrel ended i'm a
fight and both men rose to their feet.
The horse took an interest in the bust
less and began to run away. When he
was going at a lively pace, the tailor
pushed the barber out of the buggy and
he struck on his head and face. He was
picked up unconscious and taken to the
hospital While this was going on the
tailor was busy trying to stop the run
away horse. He succeeded in this and
Sheriff Clark took him to Jail. The bar
Der bled freely from his injuries and all
sDrts Of stories foated around as to the
seriousness of his condition. When DR..
Ely attended to him ut the hospital, he
found that Ben had Il badly bruised face
but had escaped serious injury. He will
be out in few days.
AS no complaint was made against the
tailor, he was released from Jail. The
barber exonerates him from blame.
The only injury to the horse and buggy
was broken dashboard.

GRAFT In The PHILIPPINES

The Inter Island News of Zambango,
Mindanao, publishes a statement form
the Manila Review of Trade and Price
Currents, from which we learn that, in
the Philippines, official salaries are
nearly twice as high as they are in the
United States. In the Philippines the
secretary of the interior, secretary Of
the treasury, secretary of commerce
and superintendent of public instruc-
ton receive $15, 900 apiece, while in this
country the secretaries of the interior,
the treasury and commerce and labor
get s., 600 apiece and the commissioner
OF education $500 Nor is that the
worst feature of extravaganza in the
Philippines.
The writer of the article referred to
adds:
But the worst feature of the situa-
ton is that fully double the number of
public servants needed are employed.
This, together with the exorbitunt
salaries paid, show what might be
accomplished in the way of public i'm
provements if the revenues of the
islands were economically expended
While the business men of Manila do
not favor any reduction of revenue,
they do favor u substantial cut in the
exorbitant salaries of officials and other
sources of leakage which will enable the
government to borrow at least one hun
dred million of dollars gold, with which
to build highways, railways and other
necessary public improvements This
would open up these islands from end
to end and increase production hun
dredfold. Recognizing this fact, the
business men of the Philippines are
willing to pay every cent they can
stand for this purpose, but they are
tired of wearing themselves to their
withers paying exorbitant salaries to
public officials who know little and care
less about the commercial interests of
the archipelago -
They see the civil government here
expanding practically $1,000. 600, local
currency, OH what is known rs the
Benguot road-and for what purpose ?
Solely for the benefit of few public
oihcials who may take junket over it
once or twice during the course of a
year. If this official boulevard incident
ally opened up an acre of productive
territory, the business men would
applaud the action of the government.
Bat it does not. Absolutely no mater
III benefit whatever will or ever can
accrue from it's construction. This
amount of money expended upon high
ways in any direction from Manila
would have opened up IL vast and
productive territory teeming with pop.
llation."
