this world and damned, In the next In
olden times, the white men who believed IN
this sort of thing killed immense numbers of
their fellow creatures whom their Witch Doc

The priests smell out the so-called witches,
and the fanatics do the rest-even as the
deluded blacks do in Darkest Africa.
The poor, benighted African makes his
god out of earthly materials, such as cloth,
sticks, skins and feathers. When finished,
he calls this handmade god by the name of
Mumbo Jumbo.
Although he himself created this home
made god, the poor African devoutly believes
In it bows down to it, worships it, prays to
it, offers sacrifices to it, &c.

The Romanist priest takes a small pam

Judges of the Supreme Court kneel, Army

Now, as to the Seducers of Women:
When Protestant preacher ruins woman
who has trusted him, he knows that he has
slnned, and so does she.
Usually, they pay the penalty The man
is thrown out of the church, and the woman
out of respectable association.
But when a priest ruins a maid. he pre-
tends that he is not SHINING, and that she is
without fault He lkens the case to that of
Mary and the Angel Of the Annunciation
He persuades his poor victim that she has

What Is It That the Military
Officers Really Seek TO Do?
THEY want to change the very nature of
our Government.
They want to Germanize the militia of the
Country
They want to put the orders of the uni
formed officer above the fundamental law Of
our Fathers-above the law as General Wash
ington, Benjamin Franklin, General Alexan-
der Hamilton, James Madison and Edmund
Randolph made it.
George Washington had been soldier all
his life and his theory of the military power
was that of the typical Wing of the 18th
type, not a TORY Of the Stuart type, not a
Tory Of the King George Ill., type.
Therefore, George Washington never enter
tanned the idea Of putting the Soldiers above
the Civilian, as the Military Moguls of our
times are most lawlessly and murderously
doing.
General Alexander Hamilton was a good
soldier; the military idea was powerfully
developed in him he not only led some of the
most brilliant movements of the Revolution
airy War, but was to have been the acting
Commander Chief in the War which was
expected with France, at the end of the 18th
Century.
But, although Hamilton was patrician,
an aristocrat, despiser of the people, he was
not a Tory.
He was Wing, as Washington and John
Jay were He knew what excuses of tyranny
were sure to follow, if the Military were not
made subservient to the Civil authority He
knew what terrible struggles English patriots
had made to establish that very principle
Therefore, in the highest zae0 Of the Federal
Union, these makers of our great Republic
laid it down that, the CivI rights of the citi-
zen should necer be suspended, or curtnizcd.
In the making of State Constitutions our
Fathers were equally careful to safeguard our
civil liberties against the encroachment Of
military martinets, and Moguls!
Our Fathers declared, IN the highest lam,
that the Civil authority should azq00ys be
superior to the Military.
Our Code follows our Constitution.
Both Code and Constitution reflect the
matured convictions of our wisest patriots
and statesmen.
Those convictions are heard in the speeches
and writings of George M. Troup, of William
II. Crawford, of John Forsyth, of John
MCPHERSON Berrien, of Benjamin H. Hill. of
Linton and Alexander H. Stephens, of Rob
ert Toombs, of Herschel V. johnson, of
Charles J. Jenkins.
Alas Those great patriots, lawyers, and
statesmen could not foresee how poor an opin-
ion of them would be entertained in our dav.

canal between this city and Baltimore,
more than five hundred business mea;;
headed by Representative j. Hamp-
ton Moore, left here today for Lore
wood Grove, Del, where delegates

portance of having the federal gov

present Chesapeake and Delaware
canal to bring into closer and cheaper
business communication Philadelphia,
Wilmington, Trenton, Baltimore and
Washington and other intermediary
cities. The present waterway is only
8 feet deep and twenty-four feet wide.
1t is proposed to have it widened to
90 feet and its depth increased to y
feet.
On arriving at Lorewood Grove this
afternoon the local delegation met
the Baltimore contingent headed by
Mayor Preston, and Governor Miller
Of Delaware and his staff. Besides
delegations from several cities, mem
bers of the congressional rivers and
harbors committee, members of the
Atlantic Deep Waterways association,
and the commercial exchange repre-
sentatives will attend.
A demonstration was given by
barges and tows passing through the
locks. Representative Moore declared
that the value of the canal and it,
treatment as free and open CONNER
cial highway connecting the Delaware
river and points north and the Chesa-
peake bay and points south will be
fully demonstrated.

Defends Tariff
On Works Of Art
By Congressman C. H Tavenner

BY Congressman G. II Tavenner
WASHINGTON, Sept 17-One
reads a good deal Of flippant crit
cism in high-brow magazines now
adays of the Democratic tariff propo-
sition to assess duty on works of art
under certain conditions. These jour-
nels seek to convey the impression
that the Democrats are attempting to
protect" the American artist, and
number of merry laughs have beer
had at Democratic expense
Senator Elihu Root expressed re-
gret in the Senate that duty had
been imposed on works of art by the
Underwood Summons bill, but Senator
Thomas, of Colorado, who because Of
his facility in debate has become one
of the Democratic spokesman, answer
ed in highly conclusive fashion. After
explaining that the bill exempts from
! duty all works of art imported for
public museums, and provides for the
rebate of all duty if art works pri-
vately purchased are donated to pub
lie institutions within five years, Sen
ator Thomas thus defended the duty
on art:
"Of what value to the public are the
great collection of some of the veal

this country, immured like prisoners
in dungeons in their own private col
lections, to which no man or woman,
save by their gracious permission, can

nit importations Of that sort, to oe
made free Of duty when we levy large
tribute, and must do so, upon every
thing entering into the affairs and
daily transactions and affecting the
very existence OF hundred million
of people? 1t seems to me that if a
single commodity can be named that
ought to bear a duty, and perhaps
a prohibitive duty, it is great and
valuable work of art when purchased
and retired from the active world BY
some wealthy and selfish Individual.

qualification, and then segregated, so
to speak, from the public gaze, do
not know of any principle which justi-
! fies the nation that such acquisita-
tions should be permitted without the
imposition of duty, thereby giving
a revenue to the government. Sen
ators contend that works Of art like
these must forsooth be permitted 20

Johnny's Parents

WASHINGTON, Sept. 17.-About
this time of the year when little
Johnny is worrying his parents into
producing the necessary cash for new
school books and is preparing to take
up the "arduous" task of another nine
months Of education, the United
States public health service comes
along with something else for the
parents of Johnny to worry about. Is
Johnny in the pink Of health? Is his
school room sanitary? Is Johnny's
chair and desk Of the right construc-

other children sitting at Johnny's
right or left that may not be healthy
and who may transmit disease to Lit
