BRYAN WELL REBUKED

Bryan got we'll deserved rebuke
at the, hands of the Democratic voters
of Florida on Tuesday when the state
went for Underwood after Bryan had
made speeches in its prominent cities
attacking the House leader of the Dem
ocratic party and pleading with the
people to vote for Wilson, despite the
fact that Bryan, himself, is a delegate
from Nebraska pledged to vote for and
support Clark, who carried Bryan's
own state.
The rebuke administered was a we'll
deserved and much needed one. Out
in his home state Bryan supported
Clark, in order to become a delegate
from his own state. 1t was an ac
knowledged fact that if he had sup
ported Wilson he would have been LETT
at home. He goes to the Baltimore
convention pledged to the Missourian.
Despite this fact, and simply to glut
his feeling against Underwood be-
cause the latter would not tolerate
Bryan's Attempts to dominate the POI
icy of the DemocI attic majority in the
louise and regulate its movements,
Bryan came all the way down from
Nebraska to Florida to attack the AL
albanian. In Jacksonville, Tampa.
Pensacola and other towns he assail-
ed him and sought to turn the people
against him. The people sized uD
Bryan and his motives and repudiated
the Nebraskan at the polls.
Bryan deserves simIIar treatment in
every state into which he gees TO
attack any good democrat. 1t is to be
hoped Ohio will administer a simila"
rebuke. His conduct is intolerant
and intolerable.

GAINES HAD
A VERY
CLOSE CALL
MOTORCYCLE WAS CRUSHED
Got Into Collision With Sea-
board Engine

Mr.. Victor H. Gaines and a Sea-
board freight came in collision yes
terday morning at the passenger de-
pot here With the result that Mi.
Gaines motorcycle was smashed be-
meath the wheels of the locomotive.
Mr. Gaines made a dash towards a
high fence nearby and escaped in
jury,
He was riding out Jackson street
to his home on the Southside and did
not see the approaching train. Neither
did the engineer see Mr.. Gaines and
his motorcycle, the depot building OBJ
structing his view in that direction.
Mr. Gaines states that he turned
sharply to the left to avoid running
into the train, not knowing upon
which track it was coming, and after
running several yards jumped from
the machine to save himself. The
abandoned motor was struck by the
engine and broken up considerably.
1t was an exceedingly close call,
and an experience Mr. Gaines will not
soon forget.

MEN And
WOMEN ARE
REAL NEED
.BARRETT'S GuOD ADVICE
Of Opportunity For the
Rising Generation

To the officers and Members of the
Farmers Union:
The greatest assets of this country
are not its mighty commerce, its
wonderful acreage or its gold mines.
Supreme above all these rise the as
sets OF manhood and womanhOod. And
the boy and girl of today, too often
snubbed and too seldom studied, are
the men and women of tomorrow.
| speak advisedly when | say that
never in the history OF the republic
have opportunities been vaster or
more plentiful than they are in this
year of our Lord, 1912. l know it is
popular to say that the trusts" and
commercialism have stifled competi-
ton and muzzled opportunity.
The statement is only a half-truth.
have been from one end of the coun-
try to the other. | have visited every
state. | have studied conditions in
practically every city of importance
l have observed above and below the
surface in every line of trade and in
dustry.
And as a result, l am convince
that the loudest cry today is for men
and women-not just men and women,
but men and women with trained abil-
ity and character. Across the front of
every vocation of moment, they ought
% erect i'll big letter the sign: Men
and Women Wanted" 1t would be
the absolute truth, provided the men
and women were properly equipped to
answer the advertisement.
Do not treat your boy or your girl
simply as a private possession to be
worked in the fields when you need
help, to be yanked out of school in
their most receptive years in order
that you may squeeze a little money
out of the land. Money won in this
way is the dearest bought Imaginable
Money, or advantage or any sort, won
at the expense of the men and women
of tomorrow, is blood-money. Not only
will the parents themselves pay for /:
some day but the penalty will also be
visited upon the republic in a weaken
ed citizenship, whether of husband or
wives, fathers or mothers.
The old fool adage runs children
should be seen and not heard" It's
lie. They should be, both seen and
heard. Seen with the eye of loving,
intelligence, heard with
the ear with faculties keen enough to
catch the tramp of posterity, as well
as the patter of today. Unless we
follow this course, we fail in the
duties, not only of parenthood, but
equally of common American citizen

THE PASSING OF TAFT AND
WILSON.

The defeat of the Wilson forces in
Florida and Massachusetts on Tues
day sounded the death knell of the
Wilson boom for president. The de-
feat of Taft, at the hands of RoOse-
welt, may also be said to have effec-
tually destroyed any lingering hopes
the president and his friends may
have had that he can secure a renom-
ination at Chicago. The fear may well
seize upon the country as whole that
ROosevelt's personality will dominate
that convention and the task be put
upon the voters at large of defeating
the ex-president at the polls in No
vember.
The nomination of Roosevelt, or OF
some other one whose name is backed
by Roosevelt, seems highly probable
at Chicago. The duty is thrust upon
the Democratic party of meeting the
situation by nominating a staunch
Democrat who will appeal to what
may be termed the conservatively pro-
gressive sentiment of the nation, in
oposition to the wild radicalism that
is espoused by Roosevelt and his fol-
lowers. To attempt to thwart Roose-
welt and defeat him or his candidate
by the nomination of a weak me-too
would be suicidal Attempting to
pander to the same wild theories, to
follow just little to the rear of the
limits to which Roosevelt is willing to
go, to try to steal from him some
thunder and at the same time disa-
vow the fact, would simply mean an
overwhelming defeat.
But the nomination of a man who
has been tried and found capable, of a
man who is experienced in govern
mental affairs, of a man who has a
shrewd sense of justice and fair play
and strong desire to serve the high
est interests of the people as whole,
of a man who is sane enough to see
wrongs and seek to correct them along
sensible lines, of man who believes
in avoiding incendiarism while pre-
senting constructive suggestions, the
nomination of such a man would raj
ly under the Democratic banner the
great host of American citizens who
realize the dangers that lie in Roose-
veltism, who fear the inevitable results
of the continuance of such a man al
the head of the government, or of a
man dominated by his views, and who
believe that the progress that is made
slowly, step by step, after we'll matur-
ed deliberations, is the progress best
suited for the country.
Such a man is Underwood of Ala
bama, such a man is Harmon, of Ohio
But such man is not Wilson, of New
'elsey. Array Wilson against Roose-
welt, or man of Roosevelt's stripe
and 1t merely means putting the coun-
try between the Devil and the deer

man who appeals to the sound com
mon sense and well poised mental bal
ance of the nation and ROoseyel
would go down to the defeat he 81

LIBRARIANS
CONVENTION
POSTPONED
PRESIDENT is IN EUROP.
They May Not Meet This Year
At All

Intelligence has been received here
by Miss Gum, librarian of the local
Carnegie Library, that the annaul
convention of the Georgia Librarians
Association, which was to have con-
vened here this month, has been post
poned indefinitely on account of the
absence in Europe of Mr.. Mcpherson,
president of the association.
AS it is not customary with the as
ISOLATION to hold a convention every
year, it may be that the convention
will not be held this year at all. If II
is held this year, it will not convene
until in the fall. If it goes over until
next year, it will convene next spring
n Americas.
At any rate the postponement of the
convention does not in any way affect
the meeting of the body in Americas,
as Americas has been chosen as tn,
next place of meeting and will enter
tain the librarians most Hospitality
when the occasion presents itself. Il
will be recalled that Mrs. Nathaniel
Stewart, who was at that time librar-
ian here, secured the convention for
Americas when it last met in Athens
The notice of the postponement of
the convention was received here
yesterday by Miss Gum from Miss
Catherine Wooten, of Atlanta, who is
5ecretary Of the Association.

Atlanta, May 1.-"All eyes should

great and dreadful Gay OF the Lord.
What is the fulfillE4u..t OF tA.s pro-

night. He spoke in the old BaptisI
Tabernacle on the subject, The Com
ing of Elijah the Prophet" A large
crowd had been attracted by the an
nouncement of the subject and gave
good attention to the speaker. Mr..
Haynes said in part:
The prophecy of the 4th chapter of
Malachi regarding the coming of Eli
jah has been a source of much per-
plexity to Bible students, yet it is very
clear and explicit. 1t declares that
Elijah shall come before the coming
of the Lord. Men have arisen in the
church claiming that this prophecy
met its fulfillment in them AleXan-

concerning himself in John i. 1928 he

1t will be very generally observed

one.
1t is not the purpose in OBSERVING
the second Sunday in May as Mother.
Day to overlook the fact that with
every loyal and devoted son every da,

but it is to establish some fixed day
in this particular, which may serve to
refresh the memory of many man
and to call to mind what a powerful
factor in the life of any nation the
love and reverence of parents may be.
1t has been seen fit to select the
whine carnation as a fit emblem to
commemorate the purity and devotion
Of mothers love, and in accordance
With this the wearing of white car
ration has been suggested as one way
in which Mothers Day may be OBJ
served
To remember mother is the purpose

while he whose mother still lives
should at least write to her and tell
her he loves her, or better still, if he
can, go to see her and tell her face

THE SoYA BEAN.

An American consul reports
that the German government is
introducing the soya bean ex-

is superior to any of the varie-
ties used in this country, which,
while they are nutritious, are
digested with d..cuIty, and
their starch and their tough
outer coating require so much
cooking that the aIbuminous
and mineral elements are large

tains about 20 per cent fat and
10 per cent proteid. II is much
like the peanut in composition,
but is more easily cultivated.
