Are You

Much sickness is due to
a weak nervous system.
Yours may be. If it is,
you cannot get well until
you restore nerve strength
Your nervous system is

the power is not there, the

Arbor Day Proclamation.

Trees growing along the streets and

pleasing shade in season and add beauty TO

sid tree planting.
1 s planted on barren and denuded
mo. ain sides and in waste places will in
time lrnish timber products of value and
aifo,o protection to the watersheds. This
is the practical side of tree planting.
The planting Of trees awakens in the
planter higher appreciation OF things
beautiful and creates greater regard for
the things praciica! that do not mean i'm
mediate profit
The federal. state county and municipal
governments should engage in, provide for
and in every reasonable way encourage
tree planting for both ornamental and prac-
teal purposes.
To further this most worthy purpose,
and in accordance with the statute in sucn
case made and provided. Tuesday. the nth
dav Of May. 1909 is hereby designated as
Arbor Day.
On this occasion the citizens oil the state
should devote at least portion OF the day
to tree planting and culture, and in the

of trees.

COWARD LY."

"Uncle Remus' left good name
behind him, but he left son also, one
Julian Harris, who seems disposed to
bring disgrace upon the family name.
Here is his passionate and senseless
outbreak:
ave charged that the South is
cowardly-whichm means that the ma
iority Of the voters, the majority OF the
editors, and all the politicians, who
are selected to aud pretend TO repre-
sent the highest ideals Of the South,
are cowardly; else the South long
ago would have shaken authority and
recognition from the grasp Of the
hands that cat's-paws her every four
wears iB the Democrat national con-
venticn
Is the man mad when he charges
that the Democratic forces Of the
South are only kept in line for a
"cat's-paw" change every four years .?
Does he not know deep down in his
heart that "Solid SOUTH which
means an unbroken Democratic pha-
lanX, is as necessary to a continuation
of Southern civilization, TO the peace
Of our homes, the prosperity of our
people as is the sea-wall of the HOl-
lander to his protection against the
wild waves Of the sea? \ break in
that wall is equally to be feared
whether it comes at midnight or mid
noon, and a disruption Of the Demo
cratic forces South of the Potomac
means sure death TO Dixie.
Away with the thought Of even the
presidency, of cabinet position, of the
National loaves and fishes, and give
Us home-life worth the living, COM
munity-life endurabIe and Satellite
worthy brave and chivalrous people.
Mr. Taft may have eaten Of our pos
sum, and President Eliot partaken of
our hospitality, but both are ignorant
Of Southern conditions, and may be
excused for urging that we "vote as
we pray but the son of "Uncle Re-
mus" should know better, does know
better and ought to be ashamed of him
self Cowardly and this of peo-
pie who during the time of war gave
to the world new lessons of sublim-
est courage, and who in socalled
times of "piping peace" snatched re-
splendent victory out of the jaws of
despair itself and saved to this nation
the fairest gem that glitters in its cor
onet of power. Remember your hon
ored father, young man. If you are
regardful of your friends, and of your
good name, repent of your folly and
never again repeat it.

CONTROL CAR CANNON

Governor Swanson contributed an
article to the Review of Reviews on
the abuse Of power now being eXercis-
ed by the speaker of the House, which
has attracted general interest. His
relief measu c is as follows:
cit would seem that a rule adopted
10y the House providing that when
ever a majority of the members Of that
body should petition the Speaker that
unless a committee should report in a
specified time a bill referred to it,
then it shoLld be in order at the end
of that time TO move in the House that
the committee be discharged from the
further consideration, would put the
proceedings of the House absolutely
under the control of the majority of
its members. In order t. prevent a
reckless signing of petitions for the
consideration of measures, the rule
should provide the petition shall be
printed in the proceedings of the House
on the day it is presented to the Speak
er, with the names of the members
signing il. Thus, without consuming
the time of the House in a roll call,
the benefits Of the roll call can be OBJ
tanned just as effectively, for the sig
natures TO the petition will indicate
the position of the members on the
matter. If any committee of the
House refuses to report bill which
the House desires, this rule would rem
der the committee powerless to thwart
a majority of the House."
The outrage should not longer be
endured, and the Governors sugges.
ton strikes us as good one.
