Il have been puzzled at the atti-

are often men who in the past have
been very sever in their condemna-
ton of corruption, in their condemna-
ton of bossism. and in railing at in
justice and demanding higher ideals
of public service and private life.
Yet when the supreme test comes
they prove false to all their profess
sions of the past.
"They fear the people so intensely that
they pardon and uphold every species of
political and business crookedness in the
panic-struck hope OF Strengthening the

raising a powerful shield to protect their

STRANGE INSECT PUZZLES
LOCAL ENTOMOLOGISTS

Some of the Mexican employees Oh
the Shaw plantation the other day
found a dark brown caterpillar of
enormous size, it being over five
inches in length when fully extend
ed and having very peculiar forma-
tion of eXtremities.
The insect was found on a sun
flower plant, and none of the Mexi-
cans on the place had ever seen an
insect like it before.
Mr.. Shaw had the caterpillar
placed in a small box and brought it
to Messrs High and Smythe, the resi-
dent entomologists at the South Tex
as Garden. These gentlemen were
also unacquainted with the insect,
and neither of them could find any
record of a caterpillar that tailed
with its description in their refer
ence library.
The insect has been photographed
and is being fed on sunflower leaves
and its transformation is being
closely watched for by the entomol-
ogists.
The specimen will finally be sent
to Washington for the chronological
museum.

and vain and should not be allowed tt

On the other hand, the members #

nament to the park and will remain
in the fount. One of the council
members stated that he had seen num-
bers of statuary and pictures in homes
that were closer to nature than the
Gal in the Fount,r and in their esti-
nation the objection of the Macon Ia
dies was because the statue was near

SOLE CLAIM ON GEORGIA~NOW3''
Captain Nv, Veal, Confeder-

Been Pulled From Under
wood Campaign-A Vote for
Underwood Means a Vote to
Be Battered and Traded in
Convention

In a stirring statement of his pref
erence for Woodrow Wilson over Oscar
Underwood for the presidential nonli-
nation, Capt ]. w. Veal, who fought
for the lost cause and is spending his
declining years in the Soldiers home
near Atlanta, calls upon Georgians' who
are true to Democracy and who would
not lend their votes TO a barter or
trade, to stand for woodrow Wilson
and add their voice to the acclaim
which is going to make the New Jer-
sey governor Georgia's choice for the
presidency on May 1.
Captain Veal fought throughout the
entire four years of the war between
the states in the 36th Georgia regI-
ment. company X, the regiment being
commanded by Colonel Glenn.
Z Here is what he had to say in At
lanta. yesterday afternoon. when he
came into the city to give his views
on the candidacy Of woodrow Wilson:
"As a lifelong Democrat and a Con-
federate veteran 1 was glad to Learn
that the mask has been pulled off Of
Mr.. oscar w. Underwood who is pre-
tending to pose as a representative
southerner. Sectional lines should
cut no figure in a presidential race,
but Mr.. Underwood's whole candidacy
as has been shown by the columns OF
his machine newspaper supporters, has
been based on his claim that he is Ii
southerner.
1T now seems that Mr.. Underwood
passed all of his young manhood in
the state Of Minnesota and that he
never came to Alabama until he was
% years old, and McClure's Magazine
in it's friendly article reports that he
has not even the southern accent.
st had felt satisfied from the way
certain interests in Wall street had
ben floclxing to his support that he
would like to vote for. I have never
had any doubt about the kind of man
Woodrow Wilson was. He comes from
the good old state of Virginia, which is
as dear to US as Alabama, Georgia or
any other southern state
GEORGIA'S CLAIM ON WILSON.
Governor Wilson passed his young
manhood in Georgia; he was admitted
to practice law in Georgia; his father
served as a minister of the gospel IA
Georgia; Governor Wilson married his
wife in Georgia; his wife was a Geor-
gia woman: and his children were born
in Georgia.
What, then, becomes of the only
claim that has been made for Mr.. I'm

Underwood never came to Alabama I'M

five or six years after he came he

who was called, the Carnegie of the

HEAVY PENSION BURDEN
SHOWN BY H0KE SMITH
Over Four Billion Dollars Al
ready Paid Out Since,
Civil War
zx RALPH SMITH.

WASHINGTON, u. c. March 10
The cost Of the pension system was
brought TO the attention of the senate
strihngly by Senator Hoke Smith in
his discussion of the pension question
this week. when Senator Smith was
speaking a few days ago on the start
ling increase in the number of special
pension bills and: stated that over $4,-
600, 60O, 900 had already been paid on
pensions growing out of the civil war,
the chairman OF the pension committee
arose and said that Senator Smith must
Certainly be in error. The senator's
statement. however. was fully borne out
by the reports of the pension commits
sioner.
Senator Smith made a unique COM
parison Of the enormous sum paid for
pensions as contrasted with the value
of farm property; he showed that all
the farm lands. farm houses, live stock
implements, etc, in the New England
states are valued by the census Of 1910
at only $s67. 24O, oO0-about one-hfth
OF the amount has been paid on pen
sions.
In other words. the pensioners have
five times as much as it would
take TO buy lock, stock and barrel, all
the farm lands in Maine. New Hamp-
shire. Vermont. Massachusetts,, Rhode
Island and Connecticut. He made an
other comparison. the over $4,000. OOO,-
900 paid on pensions contrasted with
the farm values. in the southern states
a. hn oil Of fNe IS
The census of 1870 gave the value
OF the farm lands, houses, stock. agri-
cultural machinery, tools. etc. of Tex
as, Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi,
Alabama. Florida. Georgia, South Caro-
lima, North Carolina, Virginia, Tennes-
see at S1,042. 200, so that five years
after the war all the. farm property in
the territory for which the war was
fought. was worth only about one
fourth Of the amount that has been
paid on pensions and yet the pension
system seems to have hardly gotten
into good working order and the end
is far. very far in the future.
Senator Smith called attention to the
fact that in 1870 the values of farm
lands, houses and everything that
went with them in Indiana, Illinois,
Iowa, the Dakotas, Kansas and Ohio
was S2.926. 1921, 900. while there had been
paid for pensions s4,11O, zoo, 900. The
payments now are at the rate of bill
lion dollars every six years, and yet
it has been AZ years since the surren-
der.
Senator Smith said 81, 900, 900, 600 was
an amount that staggered the mind. 10
grasp. Few men could understand what
it meant An the farms, farm houses,
cattle, horses, farm implements and
IN five such sections as the
New England states would just balance
the amount that has already been paid
for pensions and if the bill which re-
Gently passed the house becomes a
law. the country will pay in pensions
every five years the enormous sum of
one sthOusand million dollars.
