high officials they have stamped
out healthy criticism. Guarding
the parties rom public criticism
they have developed bodies OF po-
litical faith which have not suffer
ed the operations for removing
the dead matter and poisoned
flesh.
Defeat has depressed but not
purified the parties. During the
years the natural progress OF the
country has been made a slow and
shallow tide in this State while
sweeping other States to healthier
conditions. We see evidences of
this not only in our multiplied leg
slative acts and in the general
corruption OF officials, put even
more clearly in the fact that in
this district there was not an OPP
position candidate for Congress
man Covington to meet, until the
ProgressiveS offered one. A dis
tyict having but one fully made up
list OF candidates has either ar
rived at the millennium or at dis
graceful submissiveness to condi-
tons that the masses do not APP
prove but lack courage to oppose.
The evils that the. producing
classes endure require far more
radical volumes of the acts of Our
Legislative sessions, but OF that |
do not now speak. may sum up
by saying that the multiplicity OF
laws indicate corruption, that the
corrupt condition must be cured
before the laws will be much re-
duced in number, and that the
cure must come by a healthy in
crease in education through the
press and by speakers, and by a
radicalism that is not timid about
assailing either present methods
or present political leaders. Incl
dentally the fact should be noted
that other States, which formerly,
like Pennsylvania, allowed legisla-
ton for each county separately,
have ceased doing so and with
profit. When a bill is presented
by a member from Cecil, at An
napolis, which is not for the wei
fare OF the county, there is, under
present conditions, no one in the
Legislature whose interest it is to
protect Cecil county from it. If,
influenced by ''log-rolling', the
other members are induced to
enact it, no member from any
other county will lose caste or
votes for having shared in the
wrong of making the bill law. Con-
sequently evil is able to marshall
the support OF the average repre-
sentative to all sorts OF rascality.
and laws become numerous and
almost uniformly bad. Officers
are multiplied, money is squander-
ed and the people, in despair OF
justice forsake the attempt to Sc
cure it. Could the county legisla-
ton be abolished and only general
legislation be pissed, there would
be for every evil bill offered a
group OF determined opponents,
representative OF other counties,
and instead OF the crooked repre-
sentatives being able to secure
legislation evil only to one county,
each county would be protected
for to unite many for a wrong is
always more difficult than to unite
a few.

in a solution of the difficulty satisfac-
tory to the people of California and to

aftcrLoeh at the residence of RigkJ
Rev. B. J. Kelley, bishop of Savannah
Eev. Father f. X. Schadewell, chan
ceilor of the Savannah diocese, had
a very narrow escape from death
at the hands of a lunatic.
Jerry NJ. Welsh, a man who had
frequently called at the home for
spiritual advice was the one who at
tackled the priest He struck him
over the head with a heavy cane
telling him to the ground for a mo-
ment Father Schadewell and Father
Mitchell, the priest Of the cathedra
held the man until a mounted officer
arrived and carried him to the bar
racks.
This morning the city recorder held
Welsh for examination as to his san
ity. Welsh explained to the officers
that he went to the house because
he "saw a man go in who had no
business there"
Father Schadewell was able to ap-
pear against his assailant this morn

the greatest excitement in the vicin-
ity OF the bishops residence, which is
the Catholic headquarters for Georgia.

DEMOCRATS in
HOUSE, SPARRING
FOR ADVANTAGE
MINORITY is GETTING TIRED
Underwood Forces Are Hold.
ing Steady

Washington, d. c., May /, The
wood schedule. involving the fight OF
the anti-lree lumber advocates, was
the target of attack when the house
today resumed debate on the tariff bill,
Democratic leaders expected to make
great progress in the reading of the
bill for amendment by the conclusion
of tonights session.
The agricultural schedule involving
contentious of the minority that the
majority has put almost everything
that the farmer holds dear on the
free list; the wool section which viii
precipitate the struggle of the opposi-
ton to free raw wool, and the income
tax with its graduated system that
is expected to bring $10O,OO0,O00 into
the treasury Golfers annually, were IN
sight when the democratic leaders re-
viewed the situation as the discussion
began today,
The leaders were confident, however
that there would be no disturbance OF
the caucus-approved bill, and the mi
nority was weary of the steady fight
over scores of constantly rejected
amendments,
Just before taking up the wood
schedule, the last paragraph of the
metal schedule was reverted to on a
late amendment submitted by Repre-
sentative Greene, of Massachusetts.
Greene, a republican, declared thar
jewellers and jewelry workers in his
district, who said they voted for
President Wilson, had protested
against the Underwood rate of 25 per
cent. on metals, partly composed 0f
platinum or silver or gold plated. They
urged restoration of the Payne rates.
An amendment to restone them was
voted down.

Wagon NEEDED
FOR SANITARY
PURPOSES HERE
PURCHASE OF 1T DELAYED
Though Council Has Author
lied Securing it

An imperative need of the city sani-
tary department at this time is a sani-
tary wagon to visit the premises of the
various homes in the city and collect
materials in the way of refuse that
endanger health and interfere with
comfort unless they are disposed of in
this manner
Some time ago the council by Off
cial action authorized the purchase of
a wagon for this purpose, but so far
the wagon has not been forthcoming
The need Of it will be accentuated now
within a short time, as the summer
season is approaching.
The matter of the purchase of the
wagon was referred to the street COM
mittee, which has not yet secured a
wagon, though they have considered
the purchase. A report from them is
expected at the next meeting of coun-
