BRIT0NS ARE ALARMED
BY THREATS OF WAR
Austrian and Russian PREPARATION
Toward Mobilization Foreshadow
Appalling Consequences.

London.-The danger of greater
war than that between the Balkan
states and Turkey absorbs public in
terest far more than the first bout oil
diplomacy between the beligerents.
The steps towards mobilization
which Austria and Russia are taking
although but preliminary precautions
have made possible a vision of the
vast consequences which, as far as
Great Britain is concerned, are consid
cred nothing less than appalling.
Apparently, the British public has
no desire to sacrifice lives and money,
paralyze commerce and risk the navy
over the settlement of the status OF
the Balkan peninsula. Yet it is uneasy
because ignorant of how far Great
Britain's diplomatic engagements with
France and Russia extend in the di'
rection of an alliance and of how
much likelihood there is that the gov,
eminent will be drawn into a conflict
in which one or both of its partners
in the entente may be engaged.
The liberal press is unanimous in
urging Great Britain to preserve neu'
trality. The majority of the consrva.
tives demand the same policy. The
Times, declaring that none of the Eu'
ropean peoples want war, says yet
that is whittier the nations are blight
ingly drifting"

Salt Lake City.-Rendered insane
by the death of her two children, Mrs.
Gertrude Bircumshaw Winter slashed
herself with butcher knife Tuesday

daughter could die. ITO demonstrate

She did not carry out her mad pur.
pose at the time, but when her rela'

away and wounded herself mortally.

Some Crowds Follow the Balti-

THE choice of Cardinal Gibbons as chap
lain to the Democratic Convention did
not result happily.
The old man is Republican, and Taft
tie: hence he really could not have cared
much whether his prayers did that con-
glomeration of humans any good, or not.
There was in Stonewau Jacksons army,
during the Civil War an officer of artillery,
named Pendleton, who was also great
preacher.
Whenever General Pendleton would give
the word to blaze away at the Yankees, his
devout formula was
"Fire! and may the Lord have mercy on
their souls"
He'd pray for 'em, but he meant to shoot
'em up, just the same

Nobody seems to understand what really
happened, leading up to the final event.
Champ Clark was SO certain of the nomi-
nation that he did not secure proxy, enter
the convention, and answer to his face the
treacherous, ,venomous, mendacious Bryan.
Senator Bankhead was there as Under
woods manager, yet acted as Wilson ally.
Underwood himself appeared to forget the
villainous attacks which Bryan had made
upon hina, and lifted no finger to aid Clark
when Clark was similarly attacked.
Practically, Underwood acted with Bryan,

One of these days, detective Burns and his
methods will come to grief, If he doesn't

I quote from the Atlanta Constitution of
Monday, July 18th:
"A peculiar incident happened in Augusta
Saturday when William J. Burns the photo
graph of Blease which carried by one of the
dailies. When he saw it he Immediately remarked
that he not surprised that Blease is crook
and degenerate, for the tops of his ears fall far
below the level of his eyes,
Detective Reed broke in, This is considered
regular criminal type by the Burns agencies, he
said land we find that criminals characterized in
such manner are generally murderers or some
other similarly vicious type"

glance at those extraordinary ears of his
client, t. Bosh.

officers to bring Cooper to this State for trial.
Suppose then that the Georgia legislature,
being hostile to Governor Brown, should send
committee Of the Governors enemies to
Chattanooga, to hear Cooper's charges
against the Governor of Georgia-what
would the average Georgian think of such
lawless proceeding?
That is exactly the way the anti -Blease
men of the South Carolina Legislature are
treating their Governor.
They condone Felder's refusal to face the
evidence against him, and they allow Fielder
to belch all his gall upon Blease in Augusta,
Georgia, where Blease has no right to be-
The governor Of one State cannot 90 into
another, to face charges against his admins
tration?
It is unthinkable.
Yet the anti Blease legislature send anti
Blease committeeman into Georgia to listen
to charges against the Governor of South
Carolina.
It is a gross insult to Statehood, which
every true son of South Carolina should
resent.
Why don't the anti-Blease legislature COM
pei T. B. Fielder to appear before it's COM
mittee, in Columbia?
No matter how bitter is their hatred of
their Governor, they 0aoe ii to Justice and to
their oGcra Statehood TO GIVE THEIR
GOVERNOR 4 FAIR TRIAL, AND THE
OPPORTUNITY TO CONFRONT THE
WITNESSES WHO TESTIFY AGAINST
HIM.
Even in the widest days of Reconstruction,
the Red Republicans gave Andrew Johnston
a public trial, the privilege of facing the wit
nesses against him, and of being represented
by counsel.
In Georgia. we offered Governor Bulloch
public trial, with every ime-honored right of
an Englishman accused of crime.
In South Carolina, Chamberlain was not
driven out until strictly legal methods estab-
lshed his guilt.
At this late day, however, South Carolina
is asked to condemn and degrade and cover
with everlasting infamy one of her own sons,
at the instance of as cowardly and as unscru-
pulous a knave as ever disgraced the
annals of Georgia-and this is to be done by
a one-sided hearing in another State, where
the defendant cannot appear before the court,
and where every legal right is denied him.
Of Governor Blease and his record know
nothing he may be wicked man and a cor
rupt officer; but this I do know, he has not
been given the chance that a suck -egg dog
usually gets, before he is punished for his
Ofense.
Another thing should be evident to all:
Blease has acted like man who is not
afraid to meet his accuser in the courts which
have jurisdiction of the case. He could not
be expected to leave his own State, to be tried
in another-which has no Jurisdiction over
him and his official conduct.
On the contrary, Fielder has acted like
guilty man, throughout
(1) He did not dare to go to South Caro-
lima to stand his trial.
