Dangerous and Uncertain.

DR.. Howard Kelly of Johns Hopkins
said that from a medical standpoint al
cohol is q dangerous and uncertain drug
and brings into prominence many diseases
that would be absent OF dormant without
Il.
DR.. d. T. Caruthers. superintendent OF
a hospital at Hartford. Conn. said that
while alcohol has a certain value In med
icine. it's place in the future economy
of the world will be inside a gas engine.
He thinks that the signs of the times
are unmistakable. and that there soon
will be general laws covering the use of
alcohol that will prohibit Its indiscrim-
mate sale as q beverage, It's real mission
being source of light, heat and power
in the mechanical world.
DR.. w. B. Parks read a paper on the
effects Of alcohol on the different races.
He generaiized q good deal In attributing
specific effects to the people of all races,
and said that Englishmen found repose
in alcohol; the French, excitement; the
Germans. an anesthetic, and the irish,
enjoyment.
DR.. L. D. Mason Of Brooklyn declared
tina Of all classes Of detectives the alco-
holic is most in need of legal control.

Ab0at This Week S Paper.

Owing to the strike on the Georgia Railroad,
which has tied up every train between Thorn
son and Atlanta, and delayed the mails, some
important editorials by Mr.. Watson did not
reach our printers in time for this weeks
issue. The little readers of our paper will be
disappointed at the absence of "Our Post Card
Club, which is due to the same cause. Next
weeks paper, we hope, will be all the more
interesting.

4 Champion of the Lumber Trust.

Elsewhere our readers will find a letter from
Mr.. w. F. Way, who enters a plea for the
Lumber Trust and it's platform-busters,- the
Democratic Congressman who Joined the Re
pubcans and helped down" the Democratic
leader, Champ Clark of Missouri.
It might be Knockout answer to Mr. Way
to ask him why he did not make his defense
of the Lumber Trust earlier. Why didn't he
raise his eloquent voice in protest when the
Democratic National Convention officially in
structed Democratic Representatives and Sen
ators to vote for "the immediate repeal of the
tariff duties on lumber, timber and logs? Mr..
Way knew that the Bryanites were going be-
fore the country as advocates of untaxed
lumber He knew that his party was seeking
votes the faith of the platform pledges.
Did Mr.. Way chirp, during the campaign?
Did he say that the platform should not bind
anybody? Did he not make himself party to
the fraud practced upon the people when the
Bryantes asked popular, support because of
platform pledges WHICH THOSE LEAD
ERS DID NOT INTEND TO REDEEM?
If Mr. Way spoke out against the platform
of his party, when and where did he do it?
If he was silent then, is he not estOpped now?
If Mr. Way filed his protest before the
November election, it can not be said that Mr..
Brantley did, nor that Senator Bacon did, nor
that the other Southern Congressman, who
deserted their own ranks to join the Repub
licans, ever put the people of their districts
upon notice that they intended to do
What folly it is to pretend that this lumber
tariff is going to benefit the small proprietors!
Everybody knows who it is that demands of
Democratic Congressman the violation of the
pledges of their platform. 1t is such men as
H. H. Tiff, of Triton, Ga, whose allies of the
Trust own 100000 acres of timber land in
Georgia and Florida it is such concerns as
the Kirby Lumber Combine, of Texas, that
controls 300 mills and hundreds of thousands
of acres of timber lands such firms as A1ger-
Sullivan Company, operated by Northern CAPT
talists like the notorious w. d. Mann, partner
of the late Russell B. Alger of Michigan; it
is such capitalistic free-booters as those that
had their rapacity foiled by Governor James

bbe Jeffer.cn.an

K. Vardaman of Mississippi, and who evened
up by combining against Vardaman when ne
ran for the Senate
These are the ruthless money hunters who,
in the recent assemblage at Kansas City, Mo-,
resolved to close down 1000 saw mills, throw
ing possibly 100000 laborers out of work. SO
that the supply of lumber would run short
and prices be forced up to the notch which
the Trust desires.
Millions of people who must buy shingles,
scantling, timbers and plank will be compelled
to pay extortionate prices before building and
repairing can be done. Thus the Lumber
Kings levy unjust black-nail throughout the
length and breadth of the land.
Compare our cotton-growers to these men.
And then talk to me about being fair! Why,
the cold statistics, in the governmental reports,
prove that the farmers are not making any
profits whatsoever; and that the manufacturers
clear annually two thousand millions of dol
lars over and above eight per cent interest on
the capital invested.
Where has any Farmers Union Convention
proposed that twenty per cent of the farms be
abandoned and the wage-earners turned adrift
Where have the cottOn-growers syndicated the
ownership of farm lands, controlled every cot
ton field from some central point, decided how
many farms should be cultivated, and dictated
the price at which every farmer should sell?
does it in Steel, does it in Tobacco does it in
Lumber | again ask, when and where have
the farmers even attempted to do such a
thing?
AS to the suggestion made by me that the
South back Sully in bull movement in cot
ton, have nothing to take back. No gamble
was contemplated. | meant the creation of
strong demand for spot-cotton by the purchase
and holding of spot cotton. What wrong
would that have done?
It is discouragng to have to meet the argu-
ment that, because the North demands and
gets legislation which is wrong, the South
must have some of it, too. 1t is Just such
craftsmanship that has caused the political
glory to pass away from the South. How can
we hope to overcome evil if we compromise
with it? How can we expect to get back into
the right road, if we continue to toddle along
after the Republicans in the wrong one? 1t is
deusion, a terrible mistake to vote with the
North to put lumber and iron ore on the taxed
list in order that rice and cotton may remain
on it, Such cynical Republicans as Aldrich
and Payne laugh in their sleeves when they
see Southern Congressman weakening. their
case in that pitiful, short-sighted way
AS long as the Republican leaders can bribe
the Southern Democrats with rice duties, lum-
Der duties, and iron ore Duties, SO long will
the manufacturing capitalists (mostly Northern
men) continue to pile up those monumental
profits which are wrung mainly from the South
and West.
We might as we'll expect a greenhorn to
bankrupt all the card-sharpers as to expect Our
Southern Congressman to hold their own with
the Northern experts in a collusive scheme for
plundering the consumers. The Northern ex-
ports will get the best of the bargain, every
fine THE ONLY SALVATION OF THE

Hon, Did The Hon. Tom BeH Vofe2

charge that he voted with Republicans and for
the Lumber Trust.
Well, let's look it up If we have done the
Hon. Tom any injustice we must make amends,
as far as possible.
1t was on April 9 that the House of Repre-
sentatives was voting on the lumber schedule
of the Payne tariff bill The first division is
found on page 1I74 of the Congressional
Record
When the sheep and the goats went their
different ways, on that first test, we find to our
poignant sorrow that the Hon. Tom Bell is
catalogued as goat
Thomas deserted the Democratic leader,
Hon. Champ Clark, and focked along with the
Republicans who were following Hon. Serene
Payne, the Republican leader.
The next division occurred on the amend
ment offered by Tawney of Mimi, the effect
of which would have been to reduce the duty
on dressed lumber. Again, nearly all the
Democrats followed their official leader and
voted for the Tawney amendment.
And again, to our chagrin and demoraliza-
ton we find Hon. Tom Bell penned up with
the RepuulIcans,-a he-goat by choice and
deliberate aff1iation
Once more-on page II77 the House di-
vided on the question of putting on the free
list all the articles mentioned in the Tawney
amendment, beginning with the words, Wood
sawed boards planks, etc"
The great majority of the Democrats, fol-
lowing Mr.. Clark their leader, voted for this
amendment.
Once more, we sigh and grieve to find our
little Bell tinkling in the goat pasture, along
with the wicked Republicans.
Now let us be fair to Our Bell He did vote
with De Almond on the proposition to admit
free of duty, lumber, etc, from any dependency
of North America, South America, or Central
America, or any island of the Western Hemis-
phere. Our Bell also voted for Mr.. Clark's
motion to strike out the lumber schedule en-
tirely. Neither one of those propositions had
any chance of success in that Republican
House, AND EVERYBODY THE RE
KNEW 1T.
De Almond was voted down by 244 to 133,
and Mr.. Clark was defeated by 228 to 153.
But on the other divisions, where liberal
and honest Republican, like Tawney, was offer
ing amendments which would have reduced the
lumber duties, and placed on the free list many
kinds of timber, there were Republican mem
bers who were willing to give the people that
measure of relief, and had the Democrats loyal
ly followed their honest and able leader Taw-
ney's amendments would have carried.
1t was the detection of Hon Tom Bell and
the other Black List deserters that defeated
reform and carried victory to the Lumber
Trust
The first of the Tawney amendments, pro-
posing to put square timber on the free list,
was defeated by vote Of 1913 to 1884,
Had Hon. Tom Bell followed his official
leader, and had the other Democratic deserters
done the same thing, the Republican leader
would have been wIinoed

The attack which Mr.. Way makes on my
record in Congress is best answered by the
fact that I kept every pledge Of the platform

voted against the pledges contained in the plat
form on which they were elected

and ready for use at the church.
1t is a beautiful instrument and
has been pronounced by an ex-
pert as one of the best medium
sized organs. 1t is equipped with
automaric stops and couplers
which make the operation ex-
ceedingly easy. The display pipes

Perjury a Common Crime.

Even a casual observer Cannot
have failed to notice tlrat there is
much false. evidence given in oul
courts. The fact is thrust upon
ones attention. Not only in SEN
sational murder trials, but in al
most every civil proceeding or
quatsi-jrrdicial investigation which
is OF sufficient general interest tc
gain publicity, the reported tes
timony. IS always contradictory,
and nearly always TO such a 'e-
gree as to be utterly irreconcila-
Die. There seems to be little OF
no regard for the sanctity OF an
oath; and yet with this multi
plfcity of instances of reckless or
wicked swearing one rarely hears
word of reproof from the bench
and to Judge from the number OF
prosecutions perjury would seem
to be the rarest crime.

New Laws For Insane.

Indianapolis, Ind, Dec. 2S.-
Realizing that the condition oi
the insane in Indiana is demand
ing immediate remedial attention
because OF the great number oi
insane persons and the compara-
tive Lack of hospital facilities
Governor Marshall will present
to the next general assembly
some plan of relieving the con-
dition in the state, ust what his
plan will be has not yet been de-
termined.
In order that he may be able
to work out the question intelli-
gently the governor has sought
the aid of the board of charities
and some ti.ne ago ordered the
committee ON insane hospitals to
go to Wisconsin and. study the
conditions in that state, where a
system of local farms has been
adopted. Although the order was
issued by the governor early last
fall. the committee has not yet
made the investigation. Amos w
Butler, secretary of the board
says that the governors orders
were not specific as to time, and
that the committee was not in
any hurry about making ths
trip.
1t is probable, however, that
the governor will insist that the
inspection be made at the earliest
practicable time in order that he
may have the report before him
before outlining whatever plan
he may lay before the general
assembly.
