JUSTICE HARLAN.

WASHINGTON, d. c., Aug. Is.
Few people who have been
watching the great dissenter of
the United States supreme court,
Justice John M. Harlan, would
imagine that he would back down
under any given set of circum-
stances but there was once an oc-
casion when he took to the woods.
Back in 1876 Harlan was re-
publican nominee for governor of
Kentucky. His opponent was
James B. McCreary, democratic
nominee. They stumped the state
together.
In one speech Harlan twitted
McCreary, saying he had not
reached the required age-35-
and could not serve If elected.
When McCreary got his turn at
the audience, he made this propo-
sition: If he proved to Harlan's
satisfaction that he was of age.
Harlan was to withdraw and give
him no opposition; IL he failed to
prove 1t, McCreary was to with
draw.
Replied Harlan: Brother Nc
Creary and I are both good Pres
byterians, and If he says he is 35,
I guess will have to stand from
under"
And that's the only time the
lgrand old man ever did.

NO.f,COOOOO

transportation device? An cleo
tro-magnetic tire to keep the
marvelously swift Yadium motor
on the ground? A meteor-proof
for space-questing aeroplanes?
When John Ruggles took out
patent No. 1, two future trunk
lines, the New York Central and
the B. & o. were laying rails. 1t
was thought the great difficulty
would be to keep the locomotives
on the rails. Also it was not
thought there could be gained be-
tween smooth-tired drive wheel
and smooth rail traction force
enough to draw a loaded train.
Hence Ruggles' patent - a
cogged, stepped rail on which fit
ted the cogged driver to accom-
plish both ends - provide requi-
site traction force and keep the
wheels on the rails.
Imagine a flyer of today doing
80 miles an hour on cogs!
Holton's new tire is designed to
combine the puncture-proof quail
| ity of the solid rubber tire with
the lightness and resilency of the
inflated tire. 1t consists of q
solid core, preferably of wood,
which sets down upon the rim OF
the wheel. On the flat top of the
core are set on edge V-shape
strips of rubber, close together,
but with air spaces between them.
The whole tire is covered with
a thick rubber tread-tube.

When Admiral Togo arrived he
was saluted by IT flashlights,
which staggered the welcoming
party. Togo didn't even blink. !.
The hero of the Russian war
was hard to find in the throng of
liyid liveries. He wore a black
derby hat, gray raincoat and
carried cane. He wasn't an inch
over five feet tall.
His build In his younger days
was probably light, but now he
has the heavy settled look Of age
without any Indication of stout
mes. His hands and feet are
small. His face, but for a some
what straggly short beard that
evidently aspires to be of the Van
Dyke type, would be almost
in repose, are utterly expression
less, but when he talks they light
up with quick CLEANS of interest
or humor.
On board the Seneca he was
more at ease than any of the en-
tertainers. He told Gen. Grant
he knew him by his likeness to
his father. Once or twice he
laughed at some remark of his
own countrymen and the laugh
was hearty and CHEEKY, though
never loud.
Is Very Modest.
He was openly pleased at his
reception.
Admiral Togo would make an
ideal mother-in-law. He has so
little to say. Even at the Lon
don banquet, where they smeared
him with compliments and heaped
him high with hyperbole, his
speech of response was my coun-
try thanks you" He let it go at
that.
Meanwhile the roof garden
comedians are exhausted from
making Banzai cocktails (Which
being named after the japanese
cheer are cheering in the ex-
treme.)
Admiral Togo is five feet OF
personality and courage. He is sc
different from the New York idea
of hero. Harrison Fisher never
drew any hero like Togo. New
York's idea of a hero Is derived
from the back end of magazines
where the broad-shouldered mer
of the hand-me-down clothing
ads hang out. These fellows are
seven feet tall, with shoulders as
broad as the rear of hack.

Of peace, and things of that sort;
but sometimes they are the only
weapons we may be able to get hold
of, to point moral and adorn a
tale.
All of which is preliminary to say
ing that we have just seen very
flamboyant pamphlet, large as
single sheet billboard poster en-
belished round and about with vari-
Gus signs, emblems and photographs.
The pamphlet was issued in 1907
and is called "a Souvenir Of Georglas
Victory" purporting thereby to be
an inky jubilation over her Adoption
of prohibition.
That was 1907. This is 1911, and
the query which presents itself is:
Glow much victory was there in
1907, when the law prohibiting the
open sale of liquor was signed by
the then governor"
In the light of all that has hap
pened since, it seems rather an empty
victory, doesn't it?
1t was a victory for the express
companies and for the distillers who
do business largely through Jackson
Vile, Florida.
Statistics have been compiled more
than once to show how many millions
of dollars Jacksonville has benefited
through Georgias legislative act of
1907.
In that session of the Georgia leg
islature there were some long-headed
men legislators who were able to see
a little bit ahead Of the coming week,
and they realized the limitations Of
the bill they were asked to help be-
come a law; one Of them was asked:
"What pressure was brought to bear
on you that finally resulted in the
passage of the bill?" and he said:
THE women; they simply camped
there; they got us in the halls, on
the steps, at our hotels, and most
Of US pledged our votes to get away
But that isn't anything for the
Sisters Militant to be proud Of.
If they had been blessed with fore
sight as strongly as they were with
Mysteries, they might have realized
that so revolutionary a change in a
states business affairs was bound to
react on some Of those dependent on
the states resources.
Is it generally known that the
puDllC SCHOUI teachers Ol OSOISId
have invariably to wait on their
none-toO-generOus salaries? That
they are never paid promptly?
Do the rampant women agitators
know that the state has been de-
frauded of thousands Of dollars reve-
nue. by the Interstate traffic, which
permits other states to sell to GeOr-
gia that which Georgia dare not col
lect revenue for, even though every
one knows liquor is sold openly,
braZenly and defiantly in every Sec
ton of the state? And if we want
or need any stronger argument as to
women's unftness to NEEDLE in poll
tics, we need only refer to the facts
herein set forth, which may be most
easily verified.
In Harper's Weekly for the week of
July Is, John Kirk has an article
entitled: Encouraging the Noon
sinner; How Prohibition has revived
an ancient and profitable occupation
in the Southern States, in which he
says: when Georgia, Alabama and
adjoining states passed prohibition
laws, it was not because the people
suddenly became converted to dry
doctrines. AS matter Of fact, the
agitation for dry territory was con-
fined to a proportionate few, but
those few were well-organized, noisy,
pushful and daring. . The one
practical telling argument that they
used was that if prohibition came in

whites alike the opportunity for
drinking and thus remove the friction
and race riots often diSgracing the
more disreputable parts Of the
cities"
The article then goes on to state
that, in the days of open liquor traf-
fic, the stimulus to manufacture
"moonshine" liquor was not great
enough to attract any outside the
isolated country districts; the pro-
duct sold for 81 and $3.50 per gal
lon; since the prohibition" law went
into effect the industry" Of distill-
ing liquor illicitly has gone forward
in bounds, and sells now from 81.
to $3.50 per gallon.
The article in it's entirety is worth
reading by all who are interested in
Georgia's prestige when the truth
of the article is known
And "the victory of 1907 doesn' t
loom so large as victory" does it?
This is not plea for the return of
the unrestricted sale of liquor in
Georgia, it is simply a reminder that
Georgia is mighty careless about the
actions Of her legislature.
It's too bad Nat Goodwin is de-
veloping into so poor loser.
