Miss Ruth Wyandt, State Quiet
Hour leader, has issued from her

E. one there again.
The last Leesburg Commercial
tells of the death of useful man.
Mr.. C. T. Cochran. His daughter.
Mrs. Henry T. Wrennick, of Lees

her and the Presbyterian church of
Leesburs, in which Mr.. Cochran had
served faithfully many years.
The program committees for Jack

little boys who attended.

Somehow we can never sharpen
up our sympathy to a razor edge for
those unfortunates who accidentally
shoot themselves to death while

And as for the fellow who kills an

at him, our grief in every instance
is profound because the wrong man
was killed.

Colonel John Seely Of the British
army has aroused much comment in
England because of his statement
that married soldiers are more cour-
ageous than the unmarried ones.
Here's a chance for the cheap eynic

strange in that, as the husbands all
had training in war before they en-

There are few boxing instructors, and
many of these have scarcely had on a

for youngsters to get into form in
cities under the ban.
During the period when this coun-

1t is like expecting man to ac-
quire good business education with
out the intuition of using it to expect
an amateur in sports to keep out OF
the professional realm.
You can't dabble with athletics and
hope to excel. It's got to be made a
business, with earnest and constant
devotion taking practically a mans
entire time.
Thus the amateur who reaches a
high notch is virtually doomed to be-
come a professional unless he's got
the money to make income an I'M
important consideration.
Out of every 100 men who enter
the ring, 80 had not the slightest in
tention to become professionals when
they began boxing. But pride of con-
quest carried them forward. That
same pride eXacted so much time and
energy that they untitled themselves
for any other career Naturally they
had to make it business. The same
is true with baseball.
1t is foolish for colleges to expect
their prize athletes to become sue
cess in anything else, as general
rule. To do that a man would have
to be paragon.
That is why the hard and fast line
which it has been attempting to pre-
serve between amateur and profess
sional athletics is being rapidly brok-
en- down. 1t must of necessity be
wiped out!
1t is contrary to all human nature
and the demands of the present-day
world of scratching for living. This
ought to be self-evident to everyone.
Why are the fighters of today fall
ing below the standard of the old ring
days?
1t is the law.

On Repeating Act.

anna Canal tolls question was dis
cussed at a conferenc to day between
President Wilson and Representative

member of the House Committee on
Interoceanic Canals It is said that
plans are now being made for putting
into action the proper legislative ma
chinery for repeating the Adamson act
providing for the exemption of Amer
lean coastwise shipping from the pay
ment of tolls. A definite announce
ment as to the procedure is expected
shortly.
Enough Senate Democrats are on
posed to President Wilson's plan to
repeal the tolls provision, however, to
threaten the Presidents control over
that body The minority is generally
opposed TO the Presidents view. This
situation is the basis of the prediction
that the Democrats will caucus on the
questiaon and attempt to bind recall
citrant members by such action.

PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 10.-That
Republican Senators will assist Pres
ident Wilson in his campaign TO pre-
vent discrimination in favor of Amer
lean shipping passing through the
Panama Canal was the general belief
here to-day as a result of a speech
made by Theodore r. Burton, of Ohio,
last night. Addressing the peace and
arbitration meeting of the American
Peace Society, the Senator said;
AN unfavorable impression has
been created by our attitude upon the
Panama Canal. The preference given
to our Goa stwise shipping in relieving
ii from the payment of tolls when
passing through the canal is directly
contrary to our traditional policy,
which has been one of insistence upon
the navigation of all channels"

TOXIC, Feb. 10.-In the midst OF
uproar and clamor Parliament to-day
voted down a resolution of no conf
dence in the Government by 205 to
1853. The vote came at the end of a
bitter debate, during which a number
of fist fights occurred. The violence
reached such a pitch that it looked
as though soldiers would have to clear
the halls.
The opponents of the Government
during debate on the resolution, at
tackled the policy CT the Foreign De-
partment in dealinS with the United
States over the California anti-alien
land law.
During the melee Mr.. Ito. leader OF
the Nationalist forces opposing the
Government, was struck upon the
head and was carried unconscious
from the hall.
An excited crowd of $4,000 persons
held in check by troops, lined the
neighboring street waiting eagerly for
the result of the vote.
When the result of the vote was an
nounced the crowds began an anti
Government demonstration and made
an attempt to break down the in
closures and storm Parliament Build
ing.
Troops were hastily called to re-
inforce the police on duty and the
mobs were repeatedly charged while
the police used their clubs without
mercy.
Instead of being checked by the
display of military force, the disturb
ances gained in violence until it was
feared that rioting would continue
throughout the night. Much damage
was done to property around Parlia-
ment Building.

on his next book, which is a psyche

In Atlanta now Mr. Burroughs

That was just before noon on Tues

black that set off the white hair and
beard that framed his kindly, patri-

Mr.. Burroughs does not look like

typical scientist is not what is called
typical. Mr.. Burroughs looks too
amiable, too kindly. Towel, too

And maybe Mr.. Burroughs really

philosophy is wholesome, and happy,
and good for him, which argues that
it is pretty good for other people,
too.

So the great naturalist hauled up
Mrs. j. Wren's new house to the limo
of a tree that stands just in front of
the Joel Chandler Harris home, and
the Veranda was crowded with admir-
ing members of the Atlanta Bur-
Club and their friends, and Mr..
Burroughs enjoyed it all greatly.
And when somebody wished audi

Wren House, Mr.. Burroughs laughed
and said it would have to be a motion
picture and then everybody else
laughed. too
IT was a busy little visit in Atlanta
After the Wren's Nest, Mr.. Burroughs
was taken out to the Decatur home
of w. r. Wimpv to see the bird res
