A knoeIeer That Meant Ito.

So cruel were some of the punish
ments meted out to criminals in Eng
land centuries ago that 1t was small
wonder the poor wretches claimed the
fright of sanctuary" If they reached
a church or some other privileged place
the law could not touch them. A curl
Gus relic in connection with this Gus
tom exists today in the form Of the
quaint knocker on the door OF Durham
cathedral. The applicant having ham,
mered at the portal. one OF the persons
inside would inspect him through the
eyes of the copper mask above the
knocker and after due parley would
admit the frightened criminal.

Of MEXICO
URGED BY
BROWN
Even if 1t Means War, That Is
Better Than DiShonor, Says
Governor of Georgia.
CIVILIZATION LOOKS TO
UNCLE SAM, HE ASSERTS

Governor Joseph NJ. Brown believes
the United States should intervene i'm
mediately in the Mexican crisis. and
bring order out of chaos there.
He made this important statement to
a reporter for The Georgian this aft
crnoon. --.---
This great nation can not weigh
honor against mere dolars." said the
governor.
The United States has said to the
world, through its Monroe Doctrine.
that il viii stand responsible for civi-
lization in the New World, and ii in
sists that the nations OF the Old World
keep hands of.
az the United States hesitates long
er in Mexico, the nations of Europe
will be justified in feeling that this ma
ton is not sincere in its enunciation of
the Monroe Doctrine.

During the past fortnight the pres-

He has come TO the conclusion that
armed interference should be used only
as last possible resort, and that at
tack upon foreigners would be the only
adequate question for such move

Sees No Other
Hope for Mexico.

He makes no bones Of saying that, in
his opinion annexation would be, in
the long run. a genuine blessing to dis
tracted Mexico. lie sees no hope of
internal peace there for years. if the
country is left to it's own devices.
Governor Brown. who has spent
much time in Mexico. and is familiar
with its history and political progress,
has kept very close tab on recent de-
velopnents there, and he does not see
how intervention can be avoided with
honor any longer.
