New York, March 13.-George
Westinghouse, one Of the greatest in
ventive geniuses the world ever has
known. died last night at the Lang
ham, Central Park West and Seventy
third street. At his bedside when he
passed away were Mrs. Westinghouse
and their only son-George Westing-
house, Jr.
Mr.. Westinghouse suffered a nerv-
Gus breakdown last fall. and for a
time his condition was very critical.
His indomitable will power. however,
pulled him through several crises.
and lately he had been improving so
rapidly that 1t was expected he would
soon be able to go out again. But
late last week he had another relapse,
and in spite Of everything that medi-
cal science could do he was unable to
rally from It.
The death Of Mr. Westinghouse will
not cause any change In the plans
for the further development of the
great interests which bear his name.
The direction Of the enterprises for
some time has been in the hands Of his
brother, H. H. Westinghouse, who has
been associated with George West
inghouse from the beginning, and who
will carry out the wishes of the late
inventor.
Tne value OF the estate Ie1t by MI.

His home was in Pittsburgh. but he
spent much time at his Erskine Park

No Feathers On His Legs.

The recent incident on the floor Of
the most august body in the world, "
in which Mr.. West, the junior sena-
tor from Georgia, and Mr.. Varda-
man, the picturesque member from
Mississippi, were on the verge of Civ
ing a fistic exhibition, reminds the
Macon Telegraph that the Georgian
who figured in the episode has been
in "the thick of the fight" before
and faced worse looking objects than
the Mississippian-for instance, at
efforts were made to stampede the
convention to Bryan. The Georgia
delegation alone from the south re-
NAMED immOvable. The band began
playing Marching Through Geor-
gia," and the delegations began to
march around the hall. Some west
erners broke for the Georgia delega-
ton for the purpose of trying to cap
ture their flag. Senator West saw
WHAT was up anu ian " IIO AC0SuC'
Grasping the flag with one hand and
pulling his knife from his pocket
with the other, opening the blade
with his teeth, he defied those who
were trying to capture the flag.
1.-The scoundrel who touches that flag
will get his throat cut-now try it,"
he shouted. The band continued to
play and the delegations kept moving
around the hall, but the Georgia flag
remained with the Georgia delega-
ton, while the would-be captors
quietly dispersed.
Our Macon contemporary Omits
mention of another instance when
Senator West, then a member of the
Georgia legislature, stood upon his
rights" 1t was several years ago,
when the speaker of the house of
representatives who had ordered
him to sit down, failed, with the as
sistance of the sergeant at arms, to
make him do so.
Senator West is a quiet, amiable
man and one not to pick a quarrel
but no one need expect to find feath-
ers on his legs. They are not there.

OutIived Its Usefulness.

The Moultrie Observer and the
Early County News think the time
has come when the federal bank
Tuptcy law should be repealed, and
it is an opinion that is shared by
great many others, especially bust
ness men. The administration of
the law says the latter paper, has
never been satisfactory. There has
been too much tape, too many at
torneys, too many delays in winding
up bankruptcy cases, and too little
money turned over to creditors. 1t
has come to pass that the average
business house had about as soon
kiss its account goodbye as to get it
mixed up in the bankruptcy courts.
The returns, if they ever come, are
long deferred and greatly atten-
uated"
Another reason for its repeal that
might be mentioned is that it has
long since served its purpose-the
relief of honest men who had been
overtaken by misfortune-and is
now taken advantage of by unscrupu-
Ious debtors to defraud their credi-
tors. Having served its purpose the
law should be repealed by congress
and honest business again given a
chance.

A NEW "UNWRITTEN LAW"

From the Savannah News.
If Jesse Joplin of Duquoin, ILL.,, is
acquitted of the murder of DR.. d.
Winton Dunn Of that place, a new
kind of "unwritten law" will have
been recognized. The case involves
the question, as the defense sees it,
of whether a physician may refuse to
give professional aid to suffering
child if its father has failed to pay
him for past services. The story
Joplin tells is that he asked DR.. Dunn
to attend his child, but that the ply
stefan refused because Joplin was in
his debt and he didn't want the ac-
count to become larger. The doctors
profession in many respects is diff
ferent from all others. He must be
altruistic or there is likely to be
much suffering that he could have
prevented if he wished. There is no
doubt that a doctor would be Sc
yerely criticised if his refusal to at
tend a sick child resulted in its death.
How the medical profession as a
whole would regard him is not
known, but the attitude of the pub
lie can be easily imagined.

A Gratifying Statement.

There doesn't appear to be nearly
as much kicking against the actual
working of the tax equalization law
as was expected because of the strong
opposition friends of the measure
had to overcome before they passed
it. 1t may not be perfect, but it is
recognized as an attempt to bring
about justice in taxation, notes the
Savannah Morning News.
The statement Of Tax Commission
er Hart should be very gratifying to
those who urged the legislature to
pass the law, for it indicates that
their predictions as to its probable
usefulness in lettering the states
financial condition are to be very
largely fulfilled.
The fact that in some counties the
tax equalizers have had no complaints
to deal with is pretty good evidence
that the people of those counties, at
least, recognize that the law makes
for justice, that it's intent is to give
all property owners in the state
square deal

GET THE HABIT.

From the Butler Herald.
Get the habit of looking before
you buy.
Get the habit of knowing when
TO look and where to look. 1t is a
habit that will save you many dollars
in the run of year. AS habit it is
one of the principal aids to success
in life.
Study the advertising pages of
your local paper each week. Study
them with a two-fold purpose-the
determining what goods to buy and
where to find them.
If a local merchant spends money
in advertising his wares, it is safe
to assume that he is able to make
good on every statement that he
makes.
1t is also safe to assume that the
home man will do more for you than
a stranger will do. 1t is his way
and it is way which should appeal
to you.
Get the habit of giving the home
man the first chance. 1t is a habit
of which any person should justly
feel proud. 1t is a good habit.

Corn in Politics.

According to the dispatches corn,
not the liquid kind this time, is
likely to be a big issue in the APP
preaching political campaign in Ohio,
and perhaps some other western
states.
Whether it was done by some of
the republican politicians in an at
tempt to discredit the revised tariff
rates on agricultural products, as
charged by the rural democratic
statesmen of Ohio, or whether it has
been done as a plain business propo-
sition, there have been number OF
carloads of Argentine corn shipped
into Ohio and placed in elevators.
This corn is being sold at ten cents
a bushel less than the corn raised in
the state. and as a result every time
an Ohio farmer hears of Argentine
corn he grits his teeth, curses the
new tariff law and puts down note
in his memorandum book not to for
get to go to the polls early on cleo
ton morning and mark a ballot eX-
pressing his sentiments toward the
foreign corn and the new tariff.
There is scarcely anything the pol
itician won't take advantage of to
gain votes, even to the extent Of
making unpopular and defeating the
purpose of laws that will benefit the
people of the whole country.
