to Atlanta and kept him from getting JOB
there.
Yet these are the people who tell you their

whelming power.
Confound their forked tongues their
church has never done anything else but per-
secute, whenever it could.
They are willing to force that young man
TO starvation, by cutting him out of work;
just because Mrs. Joe Waxefbaum has made
the Macon foot kissers believe he said some
thing about not liking their religion
Hasn't he got the right not to like it?

Did the Wasrezbauno's of Macon get rich off,

No, indeed The Waxelbaum's Of Macon
got rich off the Protestants, not only of that
city, but of all the country towns within
radius of hundred miles
If the City of Macon stands for many more
such boycotts as that Of Long and the Hotel

EDITORIAL NOTES
BY j. d. WATSON

THE warning given the Judges Of the
country by Chief Justice Walter Clark
of the North Carolina Supreme Court, is
timely, and as Justice Clark points out,
unless the judges are more careful in. exercis-
ing their assumed authority "their power will
prove their undolng
While very few but lawyers are familiar
with the decision Of 1903 to which Judge
Clark refers, we are all familiar with the
Supreme Courts decision in the Standard
Oil and Tobacco Trust cases-we all remem-
Der how the Supreme Court wrote into the
statute the very words that Congress had
expressly said should not be there-thus pull
ing the teeth of the Sherman antitrust law,
and lntrenchlng the Trusts more strongly
than they were before the cases were decided.
The Recall of Judges and Judicial deci-
slons is not as ridiculous today as it was when
it was first advocated, and the judges them
selves are largely to blame for it.
AS Justice Harlan said when the people
believe the Judiciary is usurping legislative
functions there will be trouble, and It is the
judiciary who are making the people feel that
all the powers of government lie at the feet
of a judicial oligarchy."
Judge Clark has sounded timely warn
ing, but will the judges throughout the coun-
try heed it before the people are forced to
exert their rights?

But another Macon case was brought to my
attention the other day that calls for more
talk
1t was the case Of young man who had
gone to Macon, from Savannah, to take the
management of the new Hotel Dempsey.
This young man had good position with
S0 Oh hot nd IL
better offer of the Hotel Dempsey. This was
in Oct. 1913.
Everything was working smoothly, until
one day two Catholic ladies called upon the
young man, and demanded the use of the ball
room for one of their Praise the-Lord Dances
The young man demurred, for at that
moment the President of the Board of Direc-
tors of the new Hotel Dempsey was sick
abed.
The Catholic ladies got mad, Mrs Joe
Waxelbaum being particularly displeased, it
would seem.
Mrs. Joe Waxelbaum is Catholic, although
the name WaXelbaum would seem to warrant
Passovers unleavened bread, rabbis, and other
Hebrew characteristics and practices.
Because the young man of the hotel either
looked something, or said something that Mrs
Joe Waxelbaum could not conscientiously
approve, she is alleged to have gone out
on the streets of Macon, and begun syste-
matte verbal crusade against that unfortu-
nate young man.
From ear to ear, the rumor ran: the priests
and the priestesses shook their chemises and
their petticoats in a truly charitable and
Christian manner; and the management of
the new hotel were made to believe, appar-
entity, that Gabriel would blow his horn early
next morning unless that young man were dis
missed from his position.

specimen jellyfshes, for they actually sur

The many friends of Miss Bette

grieved to learn of the death of her
aged mother which occurred at her
home in Campbellsville, on Wednesday

extended over a lengthy period and
was due to hardening of the arteries.

showed such improvement as to allow
her to return to her duties in the
school at this place, but recently she
showed a marked decline and Miss
Robinson again FASTENED to her bed

has been in failing health for several

a fall down the steps of the institution,
which he sustained several months ago.
MicheaI Salter was born in Lancas-

That Extra Help.
Editor the Advocate:

LHC AuNoSosS'
have read with interest the dis
cussion. pro and con, concerning the
employment of extra help in the legis-
lature, as published in recent issues Of
the Advocate.
At the outset l want to say that
heretofore had made up my mind to
vote for Gov. J. C. w. Beckham for
United States Senator, but at this
time | am on the fence.
According to the Louisville Post.
Interior Journal and Elizabethtown
News, all strong Beckham papers, the
Legislature was organized by Beckham
and only Beckham men We're given
Jobs. IN other words, Beckham was
| in complete control. That he was in
complete control has never been denied
but in fact has been admitted freely by
both his friends and enemies.
1t is a self evident fact, therefore,
that Governor Beckham and his men,
bers were responsible for the employ
ment of the extra help at great ex-
pense to the taxpayers. To make the
proposition plain-if Gov. Beckham
could put over his entire slate with
perfect ease, which is admitted on all
s.des-then he could have as easily
knocked out the extra help resolution,
which, if not vetoed by Gov. McCreary
will cost the leople something like
Sl2, 900 at a time when the State is in
very serious need of funds.
To me it is apparent that the extra
help was added to assist in building up
a Beckham machine at the expense OF
the taxpayers and in direct violation
of the constitution of Kentucky.
Thirty-nine extra people were given
employment which, in connection with
the regular employees provided by the
constitution, must certainly provide al
least one man to "help' every two
members of the legislature. To those
familiar with conditions at Frankfort
it is an easy matter to understand that
all these extra people are a disadvan'
tage to the speedy conduct of the bus
mess of the General Assembly, as they
are naturally in the way of each other
Judging by the evidence at hand
Beckham's control of the Legislature
is proving an expensive proposition tt
the tax-ridden people of Kentucky
and for one am on the fence, almost
ready to take footing on the Opposite
side.

Right Of Motor And Horse On Street
Equal.

The substitution of motor for animal
power to transport freight through
the public thoroughfares has called for
definition of the relative rights and
duties of each class of vehicles in res
pect to the public roads and highways.
when the motor truck first appear
ed on the public thoroughfares, many
of those using horses were antagonistic
to the power-propelled commercial We
hicle, mainly because horses took fright
at the horseless truck, and the question
naturally arose as to the rights of a
motor truck in using the streets and
roads which heretofore had been used
exclusively by horses. There were
those radical and narrow enough to say
that the owEer of a motor truck, had
no right to use the highway.
The right to use the the public high
WAYS having been settled in favor of
the power propelled vehicle. questions
arose regarding what the motor vehicle
driver could do and could not do in the
manner of driving. He was legally on
the road, not to stand still, but to
move. How should he navigate his
vehicle? Why, just the same as the
horse driver, except that he should
stop if he found that his car was caus-
ing fright to horse.
ASIDE from stopping for frightened
horse, the driver of a motor truck has
no more duties, and as many rights as
the horse driver. The rights of each
in the use of the highway are equal.
