HOUSE VOTES TO CUT
 U. s. CAVALRY FORCES

WASHINGTON. Feb. 9. - A re- duction of the cavalry force of the United States army from fifteen to ten regiments, with consequent reduction of the enlisted fierce of the army by 3,9S0 men, was voted into the army appropriation bill in the house late today after a bitter fight
 The cavalry reduction amendment was presented by Chairman Hay of the military affairs committee, who was in charge of the $SS,OO0 900 ap- propriation bill, but it did not bear the indorsement of the committee. It was vigorously opposed by the Republican side and it will prob ably be the cause of another fight when the bill is put upon final pass age. If retained in the bill the amendment would become effective July 1, 1912
 Hay declared the United States army was too heavy with cavalry. Where the British army had cav airy force equal to one-sixth of the infantry, he said, the American cav airy was equal to one-half the infan- try strength.
 The Hay amendment would estab- fish a maximum of ten regiments of cavalry. The enlisted men in the five regiments thus to be dropped would be mustered out, but the off cers would be retained and absorbed into other regiments of cavalry, or into other branches of the army without reduction of grade .. Chair man Hay estimated 1he immediate saving from the reduction would be s4,376,253.

The Initiative and Referendum What They Mean and What
 They Are Accomplishing

Bill to establish state institutions in scattered localities. carried.
 Bill for increasing. number of judges of supreme court. defeated
 Bill in which legislature had at tempted to take custody of prisoners away from sheriff for wholly un- worthy purps ses, vetoed by the peo- pie.
 Bill by which legislature has de creed that railroads should furnish free passes to public officials. also vetoed.
 Armory appropriation bill, lost.
 Corrupt practices bill, carried.
 Bill for regulation of fishing in dastries and curtailment of monep- oily powers in them. carried
 Woman's suffrage bill. lost.
 Appropriation bill for state uni versity. carried.
 Most of the state constitutions H'It IIdIltd al tSdSl nall cen tury ago. and at that time fully met the demands Of the times. It is fact, however. that the radical change of C nditious has rendered many of them inadequate. In other words material progress has out-stepped civil growth. In this fact lies one of the strongest ar guments in favor of direct legisla- tion. Under the present system most of the legislatures are limited in the lengths of their sessions and not infrequently the time for ad- journment comes in the midst of discussion. Quite often, therefore. much needed legislation is delayed indefinitely. Emergency bills can only he secured by special sessions of the Legislatures called by the Governors. and then not without great expenditure of time and money, Partisan politics exist to the maximum extent. and not in frequently very desirable bills are made the victims of it's. differ ences.
 The legislators in nest instances are poorly paid, and this but in creases any temptation, which may exist to sell the peoples rights.
 When such conditions exist there is at least a risk to run. and such temptations always come when the rights of the people are most at stake. A ref5rm which will reduce this possibility 10 the minimum should be welcomed by the people of any State. Such protection can come through the initiative and referendum. which will impose upon the people themselves an obligation as well as privilege to protect their own rights. To correct these evils of representative government is the mission of direct legislation.
 What will be the ultimate result of direct legislation only time can tell with certainty. but from pres ent indications it is destined to play an important part in demo- cratic governments in the future Worlds Events.

CHILDREN LACK FOOD
 AND BRAIN IS STUNTED

LONDON, Feb. 10. - After many years study of the backward child" Sir James, Crichton-Browne announces that, in his judgment, im- paired utrition-insufficient food is frequent cause, and especially in great cities like London and New York. q. ..,.-.. -
 Lack of proper feeding" says Sir James, will if long continued, permanently dwarf and damage the brain. We are sometimes told that the brain is the last organ to suffer. Every brain worker knows the dulling effect of the want of regular meals.
 "ln children any insufficiency of nourishment is promptly reflected in curtailment ,of their learning ca pacity Feeding comes before ed ucation. and r am deeply convinced that it is culpable folly to require brain work from children that are underfed.'
 All children must be supplied, not occasionally, but always and sYs- tematically with a sufficient amount of food if We are to better the con dition of our people, It is a quar- ter of century since Paris first be gan on a large scale to. feed ele- mentary school children at public cost and the experience of fhat city has justified the scheme, @
 One good meal a day is not enough for. the starving child. It should be" split into two There has been. a good deal of nonsense about special brain foods There is no special brain food 1t is a good. mixed diet of easily digestible food that is required
 Whatever contributes to nutrition generally will contribute to brain growth and repair. Well devised examinatien in cookery and in the best way of laying out the family budget and stocking the family larder will doHa good. deal toward diminishing the number of backward children"
 Sir James says people are too much afraid of what is but nat ural slowness in many children.
 No racial standard of intelli- gence,". he continued, can be uni versally applied, no matter how care fully adjusted, as to the matter of brain growth: Backwardness in childhood is not always a forerunner of adult deficiency. A certain slow ness of mental evolution is, indeed, of honorable omen, for the biological law is that the higher the organism the longer it takes to attain ma turity, and so early ripeness might mean inferior flavor.
 Amongst ourselves here in Eng land some retardation of mental ev olution is taking place, for the boys of century ago of IA and. 15 years of age were <educationally ahead of | boys of the same age today Our boys are backward in order that they may be more forward later on"
 The precocious child, according to Crichton-Brownei is often as much to 1 be feared as the backward one.

The new law of 1912 gives the local
authorities Mayor, Sheriff and Judge-the
extremely dangerous power of calling out
troops, but even this new law explicitly
states that the purpose of the troops when
called out shall be ITO enforce the zaws, and
restore peace"
Is it an enforcement Of the laws to set
aside all the laws?
What laws are the troops to enforce?
II our Constitution and Code are virtually
annulled by military order, what are the
laws which are to be enforced?
There is no Code of Martial law apph-
cable to any part of this State-or Of any
other State, SO far as [ know-eOhen the
troops haze been called out BY THE GOV
ERNOR
On the contrary, our legislature has gone
to the limit of indulging the military, but
has not gone beyond limits.
Those Limitations are u1prepeazG6ze By mill
tary order.
In the Augusta case, and never before
those constitutional and statutory limita-
tions were ruthlessly and mu:derously trod
den under foot.
The Constitution of Georgia declares that
the Civil authority shall be superior to the
military.
In Augusta, it was just the reverse.
Where did Adjutant General Obear get the
right to repeakthe highest law of the land?
The Constitution declares that even the
legislature shall never abridge the freedom
of speech or Of the press w. s. Obear did
what the legislature is forbidden.
W. 8. Obe&r suspended the Writ Of
Habeas Corpus, and abolished the constitu-
tional right Of aSsemblage and discussion of
grievances.
w. S. Obear ignored "the laws" which he
was sent ito enforce" and instead Of having
the citizens fully informed" of the prohib
tied "street, road or place" and then order
ing the arrest Of those who "wilfully and
intentionally passed over the line, without
any lawful excuse" he gave orders to have
everybody shot, who passed the line.
What was the limit Of Obear's authority?
The arrest Of setch persons, and the sur
render Of item to the civI authorities.
Those military officers had no right to
infict any Punishment on any civilian what
sOever.

PUNISH SOlQ1erS; out there the military
authority to punish stops.
The cjvilian cannot be legally tried and
punished, EXCEPT UNDER CIVIL LAW,
AND By CIVIL AUTHORITIES.
What lawful right did the officers have to
kill Baker, Dorm and Christie~
None, in Gods world
Those men were not even liable to arrest,
because their passing Of the line was not Of
the criminal character.
What right did Capt. Abram Levy have TO
stick up the sign, threatening to shoot any
citizen who passed that spot!
None, in Gods world
My countrymen There cannot be more
serious question of government than this
If any Mayor of any incorporated town
can, by ordering out militia, suspend the
whole body of our laws, and deliver us over
to lot of military officers, we are in a
pretty bad fix.
If any judge, and any sheriff cam at any
time he thinks proper, suspend our Constitu
ton and our Code, we are far gone on the
road that leads away from civil liberty and
the reign of civil law.
I don't know who was the legal adviser of
Gov. Brown and Gen. Obear in this awful
episode; but what [ do know is, that it was
since Reconstruction days.
IT was against such subversion of the Civil
by the Military authority that Ben Hill
launched his famous Letters on the Situa-
tion"-letters which set the South on fire.
It was against this kind Of thing that Bob
Toombs Numbered, in his great lecture on
Magma Cort0.
And even In Reconstruction days, the Off
GERS of the Union Army never issued such
bloody and unlawful orders as were issued
by those officers in Augusta.
The Carpet-baggers and the Scalawags
and the Niggers did some highhanded acts of
brutality in those wild days, just after the
Civil War, but they never murdered men for
unintentionally passing an invisible line Of
which they had not been informed.
Not in Georgia, nor in Alabama nor in
the Carolinas did the Union officers order
non-combat&nt, unarined, peaceable civilians
shot down with cold, unnecessary, unpro-
voked brutality equal to that shown by those
officers IN Augusta.
Well might tie segess fathc920ss children
OF poor Baker ask
What had our fntber done that he should
bare been killed, qoh&ze coming home to us?
Well might the families of Dorm and
Christie ask
w mere was the necessity OF killing these
two good citizens?
Those lawless, murderous officers should
be sued for damages, and should be prose
cuted for their atrocious crimes.
And the legislature ought to pass an act
declaratory Of the law, and prescribing
severe penalties for military officers who
take the law into their own hands
When a citizen is guilty of no other offense
