How Ii Is I'm Georgia

ONE of the funniest fights that ever was

everybody else has used that word so much,

man who says that life isn't worth living, has
never taken a deep interest in such cam
paign as we now have in Georgia.

Seek Am Appointment AS For
eiqn Missionary

In the July number of The Foreign MIS-
sion Journal, is some valuable and official in
formation concerning the salaries of the
Americans who are sent abroad by the South
ern Baptist Convention, to preach to the
heather, to teach them English and music, to
train little Japs and Chinks in kindergar-
tens, to support and educate little yellow and
brown children in orphanages, to stow away
widows and old women in "Homes", to show
negroes in Africa how we farm, to give thou
sands of young men and girls industrial
training, to nurse and physic the sick, supply
the poor with medicine-and so on.
And as the Rev. DR.. w. I. Ayers wrote to
Graham and Bells Zqodep the missionary can
buy so much more labor and produce with a
dollar than our poorly paid preachers can do,
in this country, that they live In luxury and
keep "at least three domestic SERVANTS"
My! That's going some, amt it?
They must live in awfully big, fine houses,
to be sure. Eat least three servants" in the
house, means that they most ingen orally
keep five or six. Which being so, the family
has to have spacious mansion. Why is that?
First, they must keep at least three serv-
ants, else the Chinese would not respect the
missionaries.
know that's so, for DR.. Ayers put it in
the Iade@ Whenever you see a statement
that hurts the cause, M the IHdeI, you may
just know that it's fact
Now, as the object of the missionary in liv
ing sumptuously is. not to CRAFTY his own
pride and love of ease, but to win the respect
of the wealthy Chinks, you can see for your
self that the very same reason forces him to
live In fine house-however great might be
his preference for doing his own work and
living in modest cottage.
Such men as DR.. Ayers would like it very
much better if they had to foot it around,
preaching to the poor, as Christ and His
disciples did. 1t goes sadly against his Apos-

See How Happy the Politicians Are!

HAVE you noticed with what immoderate
JOY the moss back politicians have greeted the
announcement that "Watson means to work
for his principles through the Democratic

It's positively indecent, the way they are
jubilating. Such exhibitions of glee delight,
happiness and exultation as these Ringsters
and Tricksters are making are unprecedented,
and should be indictable!
Just look at the Town Bunch, will you? I
mean the Little Bunch that would rather
nurse a Crouch than to eat pound-cake.

stands, and then takes the opposite side. That
type of man is a source of everlasting pleas

edge off Bad Weather. He has smile for
everybody, and wouldn't step on the cats tail
for anything in the world. He never was
heard to say mean thing in his life; and peo-
pleple just love him because they can't help it.
Once upon time, [ heard one of these men
say about Alexander H. Stephens:
"Just look to see which side the Money is on,
and there you'll find Alex Stephens!''
Think of that, will you? The man had io-
herited hatred of Stephens. 1t was Legacy,

The Sage had his good-humor with him

Burroughs.
when the missionary comes home on furlough
the Board makes a special provision for home al
loWance. This is at the rate of $500 year for a
single missionary, ST. 900 for married couple
The allowance for children is the same as while
on the field. This home allowance begins on the
day the missionary leaves the foreign field and
continues for twelve months. At the end of
twelve months it ceases unless special provision
is made by the Board In returning to the for
elgn Held after a furlOugh, the missionary is not
expected to draw any salary while the return
trip going out to his field of labor. His salary
will begin again when he reaches the field.
The Treasurer Of the Mission should pay a re-
turning missionary his salary up to the date of
the missionarys leaving the field The home al
lowance is to be paid by the Treasurer at home.
In every instance, the Treasurer the field,
and also the missionary returning home, ought to
notify the Treasurer of the Board in Richmond as
to the date when the returning missionary leaves
his field, so that the home Treasurer will have no
trouble in deciding when the home allowance to
said returning missionary should Begin
It should have been stated in the above
that at the very minute the salary stops, the
allowance for travelling expenses begins!

GIRL IS
BURNED To Death

Napoleon, May THE little seven
year-old daughter of Bernhard Kas-
man, thirteen miles southwest of
Wishek, lost her life Monday after
noon by being burned to death while
playing around burning strawstack.
She had taken a lunch out to the
field for her father about $3.50 p. m.
and started for home again. The
day was chilly and it is supposed
she stopped by the burning straw
stack to get warm and that she eth
er got too close or was playing with
the fire and in that way her clothing
caught fire and she was burned to
death.
The little girl was not missed un-
til evening, when the father returned
from the field, the mother supposing
the child had remained with him.
A search, in which the neighbors
Joined, was instituted and continued
until a. m. next moring, when 1t
was abandoned until daylight. The
sad fate of the little one was not
heard until 1O:30 Tuesday morning,
when the remains were found near
the strawstack.

KILLED BY HIS son

~ Carrington, N. D., May IA shat
gun in the hands Of Lee A. Miller was
accidentally discharged and the en-
tire charge of shot entered the arm
and shoulder of his father, E. D. J.
Miller. The latter lived for several
hours but finally succumbed.
The horrible accident happened at
the Miller home, twenty-five miles
northeast of Darlington. and twelve
miles east of Barlow. Lee Miller who
did the shooting, Is young man
about 81 or 20 years old, and says
that he was carrying the gun from
one room of the house to another
when, in some manner, he knows not
how, it was discharged. The acci'
dent happened in the house, the son
getting the gun ostensibly to carry 1t
out of doors to shoot dog. Young
nliller was brought to Darlington and
is now pending a hearing. The
young man takes the accident very
much to heart. but will not believe
that his father is dead. He inadvert'
emily heard a man remark that Mr.
s.4ller was dead, when the son ex
citedly protested that this could not
be s0-that his father was 1ust shot
in the arm and that he, the son, fixed
it up all right-that he stopped the
flow of blood, and in 1oof Of this
latter statement showed the blood on
his own coat that he had used to
staunch the flow of blood from 1e
fathers wound. And the son does
not believe that his father is dead.

II may have to make it hundred

some. The trouble with most peo-
pie who start out to go without 1000
is that along about the third or fourth
day they think they are gong to die:

FARGO.
Physicians State That He Is Now En-

Long Time Reeuperating.

Senator p. J. McCumber, who has
been critically i'll at Washington Tor
the past week, is reported as improv-
ing now and was pronounced OUT Oh
danger by the physicians yesterday
morning.
This was the substance of a tele-
gram received at the republican head"
quarters at Fargo yesterday from H.
w. Farrar, Senator McCumber's Sec
retary. The substance of the tele-
gram was telephoned to the tribune
as soon as the telegram was recelv-
ed by w. l.. Van Horn.
The news of the senator's improve
ment will be received with gladness
by Senator McCumber''s friends and
by the people of the state generally.
It is hoped he may continue to i'm
prove and that he will be able tore
turn to the state before many feeks.
Senator McCumber's illness dates
from a surgical operation undergone
at Washington for ASSESSES of the kid
neys, which necessitated radical
surgical treatment. The senator was
taken i'll on the floor of the senate,
and his condition became SO bad that
an operation was pronounced neces-
sary and was per. ormed on the fol-
lowing morning. A second operation
became necessary few days later,
because of the development of anoth-
er absess. 1t was feared for a time
that there might be general septic
infection, but it is evident that this
has been checked, and that care and
nursing will complete the senator's
recovery.

PROMISES TO MAKE A CLEANING
IN THE DEPARTMENT IN
FUTURE.
States That II He Continues at Head
Of the Department Of the Interior
He Must Have the Loyal Support
Of All the Members - Committee
to Meet Four Days Next Week..
(By Associated PreRs.)

Washington, May 7.-After having
been dramatically interrupted at the
morning session by Special Agent H.
T. Jones, the intimate friend of Louis
R. CLAWS, who indirectly questioned
a statement made by the witness,
Secretary Ballinger, at the afternoon
session of the Ballinger-Pinchot in
vestigating committee, served notice
that If he continued as the head OF
the interior department there was
going to be some "snake killing" and
it would be kept up until the last
snake was dead.
Attorney Brandeis, who has been
cross examining the secretary foE the
4ast three days, wanted to know Just
who was to be dropped from service,
but Mr.. Ballinger said that the emu.
meration would occur in good time.
IT am to continue to conduct the
affairs of the department" said the
secretary, 1T will be with the loyal
support of every man in the depart
ment."
Mr.. Ballinger and Mr.. Brandeis got
along a great deal better today.
There were fewer clashes than on
yesterday. This probably was due to
the fact the examination took less
interesting turn-having to do large
ly with documents-and also to the
fact that the attorney was constantly
interrupted by members of the COM
mittee. It was necessary for the
stenographers to often 90 back over
several pages of notes to secure the
question asked by the attorney.
The committee will meet on four
days next week in the hope that the
cross examination Of Secretary Bal
linger may be concluded within that
time.
