Uncle Sam has Lost Teeth

If anybody anywhere finds a set
OF upper false teeth, Postmaster
General Hitchcock will be glad I'd
know it. Mr. Hitchcock does not
use store" teeth. Rut a lone wom-|
an in Jersey has lost a set. She
writes to the postmaster general as
follows:
| suppose you have received
notice from the postmaster OF of
my loss of an upper plate of teeth
through the mails. Should like very
much to hear from you, for if you
are unfortunate enough to have
store teeth, you know how incon-
venient it is to be without them.
And, further, | had not had them
one year, and paid $25 for the set

Mans Interdependence.

What has become of the average
Americans much Wanted indie
pendence? In reality he is not
as independent, especially if he lives
in the city, as is the Indian roam
ing over the mountains or through
the woods.
The interdependence of man is
wildly illustrated in daily life
especially in the cities.
A workman live four or five
miles from his place of employ
ment, because he can get there
quickly in a rapidly moving cleo
trio car. A wire breaks and he is
helpless.
The clerk takes no lunch with
him when he goes to work because
he can easily 90 to the restaurant
next door. A natural gas main
breaks, probably a hundred miles
away. He can not get his dinner
cooked in fact the whole city is
likely to 60 hungry
A water pipe bursts and thous-
ands are unable to get a drink,
The modern man can sit in his
brilliantly lighted house. A wire is
snapped or the carbon film in his
lamp is broken. He sits in dark
ness unless he is fortunate enough
to have a candle or an old kerosene
lamp.
A hundred persons are hard at
work in a factory A motor burns
out. Every machine is stopped.
Every person is idle.
The present day man is indie
pendent in spirit only. So far as
supplying his physical wants is
concerned he is more helpless than
the cowboy away out on the plains.
who has Gully his horse, his saddle,
his grub and a stream to slake his
thirst.
This is the day of interdepend-
ence among men. If a single man
fails to do his work properly,
thousands may be Inconvenience.
The rounds of everyday life are like
the wheels of a great machine. If
a single wheel is broken the entire
machine is thrown out of order

Cost Of Living To The Farmer.

the cost of living of late years. Not
only we, but the civilized people of
all countries, are uttering similar
complaints. Population has simply
been increasing more rapidly than
farm products; too many people in
the town-too few on the farms.
When the cost of living is spoken
of, we naturally think of the cost of
things we eat and wear. This
affects the farmer and all other
classes of people alike, except that
the farmer raises his own food to a
great extent, and hence complains
less on this account than people of
any other class.
The cost of food, however, does
not cover nearly ali the cost of liv-
ing to the farmer. The cost of his
living involves the cost of his cloth
ing, the cost of his machinery and
tools, and he has a right to COM
plain on this point. Why should
not congress do something to re-
duce the cost of living to the farm
er as well as to the people in the
cities?
He is paying far too much for
his clothing because of the iniqui-
ties of the wool schedule. He is
wearing poorer clothing than he
should because of the iniquities
both of the wooden and cotton
schedules. He is paying more than
he should for his fence wire because
of the steel combination. He does
not object to the price alone, but to
the quality and the enormous rust
ing capacity which wire has.
Why should not congress inaugu-
rate the policy of reducing the cost
of living for the farmer as well as
for the resident of the city? If this
cost of living is reduced, we will
hear fewer complaints from him on
Canadian reciprocity. He has kick
ed against that, not because he
does not wish the closest relations
with Canada, but because there has
been no corresponding reduction in
manufactured products; that's what
he is kicking about.
If he wants to buy a suit of all
wool clothes, for example and he
is as much entitled to them as any
other man he must pay just twice
the amount that he would pay if he
were in England. If he would buy
any kind of steel product, he is not
given the liberty of buying it at
prices at which the same product
is sold in foreign countries and from
the same factory.
These are things the democratic
party should be thinking about, now
that 1t is in a position of RESPONSE
bility. There is no time to talk
about free trade now. We need
money for revenue; but the way to
get the revenue is to remove tariffs
which enable the manufacturers to
form trusts and sell their products
cheaper in foreign countries than
they do at home. Let the demo
cratic party help cheaper the cost
of living in this fashion, and they
will have the thanks of the farmers
without regard to party,
Placing the democrats in power
does not end the struggle. 1t will
be discovered in the next six mon
tbs that there is a standpat faction
among the democrats that is just
as averse to reducing the cost of
living to the farmer as the most re-
dictionary of the republican party
and pretty thoroughly There will
be a like separation in the demo-

Cost of Being Right.

A newspaper, if it has any brains,
conscience and muscle behind it,
must continually decide between
doing its duty and injuring its
pocket. In any position, but that
of an editor, the public is able to
separate the individual home from
the collective citizen. But if an
editor does not please them it is at
his pockets they aim. Thus it is
the newspapers learn who their
friends are. The man who reads
the newspaper and admires it all
the year round, yet gives his bust
ness to support some other concern
whose principles or actions OF its
editor he detests, is not friend to
the former news paper. Admiration
alone will not run a newspaper.
There are too many men who eX-
pect an editor to slave in defense of
their pet notions and hobbies, adj
vocate their views against the
strongest opposition, and coolly
withhold the business support by
which alone a country newspaper
can live. Talk about paper hav-
ing public duty to perform, and
an editor having to work for his
principles is cheap when others
stand back and extend a luke-warm
neutrality. The result is the editor
may starve while laboring for his
principles and the cause of right
and justice, which they admire, but
do not support. - Gueydan, La, News

A HARD FIGHT
ON PROHIBITION
VOTE ON SECOND READING OF
BILL THURSDAY MERELY
STARTED THE FIGHT.

Atlanta, Aug. At seems that the
the second reading of the Tippins
bill will prove a barren victory for
the prohibitionists after all, since it
develops that many Legislators who
voted to end the delay and let the
bill be read We're not actuated by any
friendliness to the bill, but were sim
ply anxious for it to be pushed on
to conclusion, one way or another,
in order that measures of their own
might have opportunity of coming up.
However, the advocates of the Tip
pins bill consider that they have
achieved victory just the same, and
declare that if the measure ever
comes to a vote they are sure to win.
What the result would be in Geor-
gia if the Tippins bill did pass as it
stands. unamended, is difficult to con-
lecture. Not only would it abolish
near beer, but all soda water and soft
drink stands as now conducted would
be in violation of it, for many of the
absolutely ting fruit syr-
ups have about one-half of one per
cent. alcohol in their composition, as
a necessary preservative.
All druggists would be in violation
of the law, unless they refused to ham
die some of the most important prep
used in the practice of medi-
cine.

Straight Reeiproeity in Sight

The Senate has agreed to take a vote on the Root amendment offered in the hope of defeating free paper and pulp wood, and possibly the en- tire bill, tomorrow. It will be voted down, and the hope and expectation is that the passage of the bill as it came from the House will speedily follow.
 Other amendments will be offered, but no one of them will have a power ful trust behind it. The Root amend ment has that kind of backing, to- gether with the "pull" of New York's scheming and subtle senator.
 The old guard does not like the reciprocity bill, and it accepts it as it accepts the inevitable. The passage of the bill should be credited in part to the President, but in still greater part to the democrats and a few faithful insurgents. Some of the in- surgents, notably Senators LaFol- lette, Bristow and Cummins, wavered however, before selfish constituents.
 The passage of reciprocity may simplify matters somewhat in the ex- tra session, but it will not lead to an early adjournment. Senator Bailey has said that the Senate must first act on the Free List bill and the wool schedule, and his tongue and busy brain can be trusted to carry out his declaration. Just at present as July approaches it seems probable that Congress will sit continuously until at least July, 1912.

lge admitted of the shipping of any similar product under the original bill of lading.
 The surprising feature of the case is that Nashville's discriminating privilege was permitted to stand as long as it did. Under it Nashville could receive car load lot and rebill it in small lots to other towns at through rates, and the railroads would in the meanwhile pay all eleva- tor and storage charges. Nashville alone in the southeast secured this privilege, and it will hereafter have to line up with other cities in the southeast on an equal footing.
 Whether the railroads will extend the rebilling privilege to other cities or simply cut out Nashville's privi- lege remains to be seen. The better way would seem to lie in an extension of rebilling and elevator privileges to other trade centers.

Summer Camp fer Boys

T. C.. Young, who has for several summers conducted a party of Birming ham boys to Camp Greenbrier. said yes- terday in discussing the camp: "A larg- CT number of boys than ever before are blaming to take their summer outing at Camp Greenbrier. In fact, the ath- letic camp has helped very largely to solve the problem of the vacation for our city boys. Many parents have realized that the regular summer re- sort with its irregular hours, was detri- mental physically and otherwise to youth.
 @'The camp with its outdoor sports, regular hours, and good associations provides both delightful summer out ing and a thoroughly wholesome en- vironment. That the boys enjoy it Is attested by the fact that four of this years number are returning for the fourth consecutive time. MT.

government, which appoints it's gov
 ernor and five directors. The other directors are practically appointed by the branch associations.
 It is unfortunate that this non- partizan plan bears the name of Nel- son ". Aldrich, who had become widely known as a member of the old guard of the Senate and as the promoter of very rapacious and un- just tariff bill. He has never been a banker or a student of financial ques- tions, but really his connection with the great reform measure should not prejudice it in the minds of patriotic citizeas. The entire board, not he alone, stand as sponsors for the plan.
 No doubt the plan needs amend ment and will receive it. w. P. c. Harding says the state banks should be admitted to membership in the re- serve associations. The plan will never cover the country-will meyer be able to issue circulation to all and to discount paper for all, until this is done. True, it would in an emergency bring the state banks to some extent under federal control, but in these days of federal control of railroads and soon of corporations, this objec- tion is not weighty. In a crisis aid of any sort is valuable, and the state banks should not and probably will not refuse to join the branch and cen- tral associations on just and equi- table basis. MT. Harding's sugges- tion would enable the reserve associa- tions to cover the country like the dew, and in times of trouble this would no doubt prove helpful and all objections to federal intervention would disappear. In a storm any harbor is a good one.

Olive Schreiner, in Woman and Labor"
 Men have made swords or guns with which to destroy each other; we have made the men who destroyed and were destroyed. We have in all ages produced. at an enormous cost, the primal intuition of war. There is no battle field on earth howsoever covered with slain, which it has not cost the women of the race more
 in actual bIoodshed and anguish to supp ply than it has cost the men who lie there. We pay the first cost on all human life.
 In supplying the men for the carnage of a battle field. women have not merely lost actually more blood and gone through more acute anguish and weariness in the long montrhs of daring and in the 1 final agony of childbirth, than has been experienced by the men who cover it. but. l in the long months Of rearing that fol- low, the women of the race 80 through a | long. patiently endured strain which no | knapsacked soldier on his longest march

To the Sea at Mobile

A very interesting conference of men interested in river improvement was held in Mobile on Thursday, and the general conclusion of the meeting was that towns on the rivers should do as Montgomery has done-they should provide facilities for loading and unloading independent of the stage of the river, while Mobile should not permit it's wharf facilities to be monopolized by the railroad companies.
 The conference was attended by men representing all the cities of the state, and an effort will at once be made to wake up alike Mobile and the river cities in order that all may en- joy the advantages of water transpor- tation.
 "But Mobile" said MT. Kealhofer at the conference, must pull the stopper out of the bottle. We can't develop the waterways of the state if the city of Mobile allows itself to be bottled up by the transportation lines. We must be favored to the extent that other boats are favored; we must have docks that are public docks and we must have the same facilities that are given other lines. Until the city of Mobile establishes, by force or otherwise docks and terminal facili- ties that will adequately take care of the traffic that comes to this port for export, you had just as we'll quit your river development. We hope to have the Alabama river locked and dam med and when that is done we can operate boats 50 per cent cheaper than now and the volume of river traffic will increase almost immeas- urably. We are willing to give money, time and energy to develop the Coosa and the Alabama, the Tombigbee and the Warrior, but we must ask that the city of Mobile do her part. We will bring the traffic, but when we get here we want to find home."
 While Mobile is attending to this important matter the merchants of the up cities of the state are asked to study the work of Montgomery in the handling of river freight, in order that this great river state may be put in way to get in touch with the rest of the world at it's one fine gateway to the sea.

Regarding Beer

"One of the wisest things that the Georgia legislature did. after it passed a statewide prohibition bill, was to make an exception in favor of near beer (prac- tically real beerl," said J. J. Werner of Philadelphia. "And I was very much sur prised to find in several Georgia towns visited recently prohbitionists so radical as to favor a movement to stop the sale O. malt beverages. It seems to me that the more beer consumed the less will be the consumption of whisky. Some people never learn to let well enough alone.
 "If Alabama had followed Georgia s example I doubt if there would have been any serious agitation for repeating the pi ohibition laws. A large majority of men who indulge in alcohol can be edu- cated to confine their drinking to beer, and believe the day will come when total abstinence societies will leave beer out of the pledges, especially in view of the fact that the modern brews contain very little alcohol"
