AVER CHARGES THAT
bURWELL BETRAYED.
THE LOWER HOUSE

ATLANTA, Ga, Sept. 15.-That thC
Georgia house of representatives was
betrayed by Speaker W. H. Burwell ia
his appointment of the temperance
committee and the rules committee, is
declared here today by Representative
w. H. Aver, of Bib county.
Il would have denounced the speak.
er on the floor of the house, says Mr.
Aver, eff it had not been for some Of
the prohibition leaders who wanted
peace.
1T was represented to be and other
members of the house that if we elect
ed Mr.. Burwell speaker he would ap-
point temperance committee and
rules committee that would interpose
no obstacles in the way of prohibition
bills.
"On these representations, and with
this understanding, we elected Mr..
Burwell speaker.
"He appointed a temperance com
mittee that refused to report on the
prohibition bills until the session was
almost gone, and then reported only
one out of the three bills; and ap-
pointed a rules committee that refus.
| ed to let the house vote on this one
bill after it was reported
"Two-thirds of the house were in
favor of the prohibition bills and want
ed to pass them. This two-thirds ma
jority would have elected genuine
prohibitionist as speaker of the house.
instead of counterfeit prohibitionist
if they had not been misled into be-
lieving that Mr.. Burwell would trea.
them fairly if they elected him.
"The trouble is that the house is
operated under republican rules, in
stead of democratic rules, and the
speaker is the dictator of the house.
instead of being merely the presiding
officer, but if / know anything these
rules are going to be wiped out"

WAR DRIVES WOMEN
To USE OF COSMET TICS

LONDON, Sept 15.-War is driving
women to cosmetics. The authority
for this statement is London cosmetic
manufacturer, who says rogue is now
used freely by ladies' who looked on
makeup of any kind as in bad taste a
year ago. His explanation is that the
present stress and worry tell on
looks, and women have been driven to
the use of rogue and paint to hide the
marks left on their faces by these en-
otions.
