ut Don't Seem Jest Right
Says John B. Ingram, Noun
taineer, in Prison.

This is no treatise on the pros and
cons of the Illicit distilling question.
1t doesn't even attempt to go into the
question of right and wrong in such
cases made and provided" as the gov
eminent statutes have it. 1t simply
deals with a personality; just a man
great hulking figure Of a man. some
six feet in his stocking feet A man
who, as his own simple words declare,
raised a family in the fear of God and
the light of reason
The mans name 10 John B. Ingram.
Believe it OF not, though he's a native
Georgian. he can trace his ancestors
back further than most of us can. He
knows he has Crusader blood in his
veins. His face shows intelligence, his
movements are alert. his physique, Ia
Dor Worn, is still that of 4 fighting
man.
He's in Jail noW-branded by the gov
eminent as a "moonshiner" He lays
no claim to being anything else than
that with which he is charged. He's
a moonshiner and he cOnfesses to haV-
ing been caught IN the act of working
in" still. Not laboring about the
place or making mash, but just prepar-
ing to go into the Illegal business of
making corn whisky. He and a band Of
men up in Union county, where he was
caught, he declared, were all interested
in the still. The copper kettles had
been paid for by man who escaped
the heavy hand of the Federal officers.
Betrayed by Friends.
When Ingram was caught-hei de-
clared he was turned up by his
friends-ho was told to go down the
mountain to the jail, stand trial in the
court and do his term in the PENN
return for which his friends would
stand by him and provide his wife and
his three children, none over nine years

Taking the word of those friends,
ingram went down the mountain, was
brought to Atlanta and here he is now.

dragged on. Finally, when he was near
ly famished, he had an idea.
He hunted up the busily confabbing
floor managers OF the Clark boom. Ap-
preaching them with that air Of i'm
portance so essential to political conven-
tons, he said In a mysterious tone:
Gentlemen, as you know, I'm repre-
senting Gov. Harmon here. Take a tip
from me and move for an adjournment
Of two hours"
Then, leaving them startled, ne moved
gravely on until he found the captains OF
the Wilson forces, whom he also knew.

tone OF great mystery. Il am in a posi-

adoption. or inclination attended at
Rauscher's.
President Taft, with whom our insular
policy has always been an important
factor In the national government, read
that portion of his remarks touching
upon the Philippine policy from a pre-
pared speech. Dfsclaiming any partisan
motive. he warned the Democrats that
IL they adhered to the plank OF their re-
cent platform. their course would bring
embarrassment and humiliation upon the
country: that freedom now would mean
chaos for time and then reversion
to the present form OF government for
the islands
Former Speaker Cannon took up the
Presidents theme long enough to tell
the guests that "from the standpoint Of
American pride. honor, and liberty, we
can no more rid ourselves of the Philip
pine Islands than Hercules could rid
himself OF the shirt Of Nessus." Those
who were not personally familiar with
the struggles OF the original strong man
were nevertheless obviously impressed
by this assertion. ~
Speaker Champ Clark, who followed
the President. refused to be drawn into
a discussion of the Democratic Philip
pine policy, but told his hearers that he
believed a party should carry out all
the pledges upon which II was elected
"and you can make the most OF that"

Of Henderson castle" the beautiful es-
tate at Sixteenth Street and Florida
Avenue. stood in a driving rain Tues
day night with the iaborers to cut down

Some time ago she appealed to the
District government TO chop down the
tree, which is on a public street. They
pigeonholed the request Tuesday night
Mrs. Henderson got tired OF delay, hired
a couple of laborers and armed with an
umbrella and a lantern. had the tree cut
down.
Three policemen who saw what was
about to happen entered strenuous pro-
test, but Mrs. Henderson waved them
aside and went ahead. City regulations
provide a fine for removal OF trees with
out permission. Mrs. Henderson said
she didn't care what happened now that
the tree was actually down.

Frank Crane. In the Chicago Newx
a very strong and racking doubt has
got into my mind. One of the very
mudsills OF my subconsciousness, a
very sleeper" OF my cosmic house. has
been loosened. and all sorts of strange
fancies, like little white and Ieggy in
sects, are scampering among my wits
For 1t has occurred to me that, after
all. the minority are in the majority.
/ know IL sounds crazy. I know that
Heaven be thanked i am spared the
last Illusion OF the insane, that I am
sane.
But while have always lived,
moved and had my being under con-
wilton that the majority not only rules
but also actually exists. come to think
OF IL, / have never seen a majority
while everywhere about us is the large,
active, and exceedingly vocal and as
Sertive minority.
The majority of tho people in the the
United States believe in our present
form OF government, yet I never met
a man in ny life that did not think he
could Improve it
The majority are sound and well, but
did you ever run across a we'll woman :?
The majority are sane. yet have you
ever found one man fndubltably so?
The fact of the matter Is that the
average man is a myth; he IS a mathe-
matical hypothesis; he exists only for
the purpose of statistics and arsu-
ments; he Is the stun out of r-hIch
generalities are formed. He is like an
atom or a kilowatt or 4 nebular hy-
pothesis. Everybody is abnormal. Nor
mali;y Is merely the imaginary point
where the abnormalities balance.
i never talked any length of time
with human being who did not by

Il am not like most folks" or words

Strange that the entire population Of
