Character and is Shot to Death.

Albany, Ga, June 2G.-Policeman
f. +. Harris was shot and killed here
tonight by a strange white man who
arrived here on the Atlantic Coast
Line train at 1910 O'Clock.
Conductor Walter. Moore thought
the man acted suspiciously and be-
lieved that he was one of the des-
perate gang that has been robbing At
lantic Coast Line trains of late. Moore
told Harris of the matter and the con-
ductor and policeman jumped into a
hack and drove uptown. In front of a
hotel they found the man. Harris
arrested him and the stranger put up
fight, got possession of the police
mans club and then whipped out q
revolver and shot the policeman. The
latter with bullet through his body
fired twice at the fleeing man. One
bullet, it is believed, took effect.
The city is greatly excited and sew
eral posses are hunting for the
stranger Violence is threatened.

UNCLE SAM VS.. MEXICO.
WHAT CAN UNITED STATES DO
TO SETTLE MEXICAN AN
ARCHY?
Senate Discusses Situation and Sew
eral Senators Urged an Immediate
Change i'm POlicy-FOreign Rela-
tiOns Committee Will Take up
Question.

Washington, June 27.-A Change in
the attitude Of the United States to-
wards the warning factions i'm Mex
leo was urged in the senate today,
with the result that the foreign rela-
tions committee of that body is TO
take up the question Immediately
Senator Fall of New Mexico attacked
the present policy and asked for the
repeal Of the sOcalled neutrality reso-
luton Of the last congress. Under this
authority, h' ID, arms were permit
ted to go : SIS the border TO the .
Huerta fl : 4, hut were prevented
by the !: ed forces of the United
States going to the factions op-
posed : l1uerta.
See, Fall praised the Wilson ad-
mir 10 (tion for refusing to recognize
VS. NE termed the "assassins of the
- hent of Mexico" as the establish
government in the republic but he
'tlared the practice of the admins
-tfatiOn in allowing arms to go to one
faction and not to the other had re-
suited in retaliatOry steps toward
American citizens that no other ma
ton on earth would permit.
His speech brought a response from
Senator Bacon, chairman of the for
eign relations committee, that was re-
garded by some as voicinP the atti-
tude Of the administration. Senator
Bacon said the solution of the pres
ent difficulties in Mexico lay in the
white men of the republic, constitu-N
ting the educated classes, taking ND
arms to establish order.
Enough white men resided in Mex
leo City alone, he said, TO establish
order in the whole republic. He
added that for the United States to
attempt TO protect her citizens by
arms in Mexico means Intervention,
and occupation probably for all time.
Senator Smith of Ariz1ii&, in the
debate which followed, advocated tfS
United States taking possession of
Lower California in compensation for:
Americans killed and American props
erty destroyed. Senator Williams
joined in urging the repeal of the
neutrality resolution. Senator Bacon
assured the senate the committee
would soon consider the question.

DISCIPLE OF PUBLIC GOOD.
SENATOR LEWIS COMPARES WILL
son WITH BUCHANAN AND
AND MONROE.
Good above Public Office and Re-
fuses to Give Over Offices as Conn
pcnsatiOn for Partisan Support.

Brandon, VT, June Ex-senator
James Hamilton Lewis of Illinois de-
livered the Grafton at the unVeiling
today of statue Of Stephen A. Doug
las, former senator from Illinois, who
was born here. Senator Lewis re-
ferred to President Wilson's relati1u
with the senate, comparing them with
conditions when President Buchanan
and Senator Douglas joined issues. He
said in part:
Senator Douglas signalled his en-
trance to the United States senate by
break with the president of the
United States James Buchanan.
THE reasons for this break were
OF nature now paralleled by the
events encircling President Wilson
and his senate. Douglas demanded
the distribution of public Offices in
support Of his policies. President
Buchanan differed from Douglas and
permitted the patronage to be use1,
1yainst Douglas.
president Wilson presents the ap<'
posite attitude. He puts the public
good above the public office and de-
clines either to give out Offices to SEN
ators as compensation for their sup
port or to penaliZe those who oppose
him by denying them public patron
age. Buchanan went to defeat in try
ing to retallate upon senators who
opposed his policies and went TO DO
litical disgrace in trying to destroy
senators because they would not SUD-
port his policies. President Wilson is
attempting to inaugurate the system
that James Monroe put into effect
with success in the era Of good feel
ing in 1923, and seeks to emulate the
course of George Washington in rec
ogniZing no party organization as
having right to urge its existence
James Buchanan was on trial un-
, der the assaults Of Douglas to test
whether the doctrine OF relation
upon senators could stand 1t failed.
President Wilson declines to allow
his personality to be put on trial. but
under exactly similar conditions as
surrounded Buchanan on the slavery
and admission of new States issues.
President Wilson with his currency
and tariff policies is putting the cOun-

Seeing an able editorial recently on
the great question asked by Job CEN
turtles ago, we are reminded that the
same question is still being asked, and
seems to be as unsettled today as
when asked in the ages agone by the
man of the land of Uz: IF man die,
shall he live AGAIN." Sages have
asked this question over and over
again. Theologians have propounded
the inquiry and quoted the scriptures
to prove that it is true. But out of
the multitude of wisdom, out of the
labyrinth of argument, comes no clear,
trumpet call in answer The whole
question hinges on the simple, trust
ing faith of little child-"If a man
die shall he live AGAIN." We know
there is no question as to the first part
OF the proposition, and the second
should be accepted with equal GER
tainty.
