CONGRESS ADJ0URNs

The Sixty-third Congress, nrs'
under complete domination OF the
Democratic party since 1895, ended
Thursday at noon. 1t had been IN
almost continuous session since Pres
|ident Wilson's Inauguration two
years ago. Beginning with an extra
session called by the President April
II, 1913, the Congress has worked
actually 637 days.
Much important legislation was
accomplished, but much contemplat-
ed, some of it hard pressed by the
president and party leaders, was left
undone. 1t is the present intention
of the President and his advisers to
give Congress rest. Rather than
force an extra session, they would
leave the remainder of the Admins
tration's constructive aspirations to
a new Congress next winter, which,
although under Democratic control,
will have a greatly reduced majority
| in the House. Foremost in the enact
ments Of the Sixty-third Congress
we're:
The Underwood Simmons tariff
act, with the income tax, which re-
placed the Payne-Aldrich tariff law.
The Federal Reserve act, reorgan-
izing the currency system.
Anti trust laws to supplement the
Sherman act, including the Clayton
law and Federal Trade Commission
act, the former providing for punish
ment Of individuals who violate bust
ness regulations and the latter estab-
fishing a Government institution to
aid in keeping business within the
law.
Repeal of the Panama Canal tolls
exemption for American coast-wise
shipping.
Act directing the building at a
cost of 100000 of Government
railroad to the mineral fields of
Alaska.
Act to regulate votton exchanges
and to penalize dealings in purely
speculative cotton future sales.
A special internal revenue tax,
commonly called the "war tax"
A Government war risk insurance
bureau to insure American ships
against the hazards Of war, and an
act providing for the transfer Of
foreign owned or built ships to Am
erican registry.
President to provide new system
for leasing Of water-power sites and
a leasing system to open the mineral
resources Of the country.
Bill to enlarge the measure Of
Philippine self-government and to
extend promise Of ultimate independ-
ence to Filipino people, measure
which passed the House and was ap-
proved by a Senate committee.
Regulation by the Interstate Com
merce Commission sf the issue Of
railroad securities, originally a part
Of the Administration antitrust
program.
Rural credits legislation, contem-
plating the establishment of system
of farm mortgage loan banks, per-
sistenly urged throughout the Con-
gress.
In addition to the foregoing, scores
of general legislative bills, covering
a wide range Of subjects, died with
the end of the Congress, among them
measures for Federal road improve
ment, general waterway development,
reorganization Of the civil service, to
prohibit importation Of convict-made
goods, and several measures for re-
organization of the army.

THE Err SONIAN
Was il "A DastardEy Attack ?''

liz llttlo macon News says tl!aC ilIy eur
torial OH the political situation over there
was "dastardly."
Was 1t?
= The word 'dastardly" is synonymous with
cowardly, fearful, timorous, pusillanimous,
faint-hearted craven, and abIect.
Was my attack timid and faint heared?
Did it strike below the belt? Was it shot
from ambush?
Let us see:
It was AN editorial; and, therefore, every
body knew who to hold responsible.
It dealt with public mans public charac-
ter; and, therefore, it was strictly legitimate.
It charged The News candidate, Mcneil,
with being the favorite of the lawless element,
the Knights Of Columbus who have recently
beaten up Protestant, named Marlborough,
and who have threatened to blow up the build
ing in which the Protestant organization
meets.
Did the angry News deny this charge? No:
it did not. Why not? Because 1t could not.
Again, | charged that Mcneil was the cam
didate, or the favorite, of the saloons in which
the prohibition law is being violated.
Did The News deny this? No; it did not,
because 1t could not
Therefore, so far as the local situation is
concerned, The News ignored the two most
serious charges that made; and, by doing so,
V5rtuazzy confessed that its man, Mcneil, aoas
the candidate Of the loaczess and treaso12oshs
knights Of Columbus, and Of the 6a1z5eepcrs,
qcho 0iozate the general lar Of the State
Of far less consequence to Macon and Bibb
County, is McNeil's position on the school
book trust.
OF far less consequence, is his conduct to-
ward Major McGregor
Even as to that. The News was misled. pre-
sumably by Mcneil himself
The facts are, that Senator c.. r. McCrory
published NcNej, on second page of last
weeks Jeffersonian, as being one of the two
men who were chiefly responsible for the fail
IRE of his bill to gioe cheaper textbooks to
oar school children.
Of this beneficial measure, Senator McCrory
said, in last weeks Jeffersonian, page 9:
at was killed in the Senate, and the OPPOSE
ton was led by Hon Brick Miller, of Column
bus, ably assisted By Senator Mcneil, Of BIB
C0unty"
AS to the alleged eulogy of Major McGregor
on Senator Mcneil, the facts are these:
About thirty minutes after Mcneil had
made his brutal attack on McGregor, Senator
Allen handed to the latter an apology from
Mcneil, which McGregor accepted.
Then, just before the Senate adjourned. Nc
Neil got the floor and made talk, expressing
regret for the incident, and eulogizinp Major
McGregor as a Confederate soldier citizen,
and legislator.
Necessarily this. forced McGregor to re-
spond IN the same spirit, and he responded ac-
cordingly.
When the Macon News states that Major
McGregor voluntarily, and as an independent
tribute to McNeil's conspicuous worth. took
the floor to eulogize the Bib County Solomon,
1t gives totally misleading impression of
what took place.

Let the Roman Catholics leave
Our Divorce Laws Alone


I N the Congress of the United States the Ro-
manists, through Senator Ransdell, of Lou
lslana, are trying to substitute the law of the
Italian Pope, for that which the statesmen OF
America framed in wisdom, for the liberation
of men and women whose marriages were fail
ureS.
In the Legislature of Georgia the same drive
at our divorce law is being made and the in
fucnce behind the drive is Romanist
The Macon News says:
The shame of the Georgia divorce law it.
now stands is that divorces may be had simply
for the asking. For instance, wife may sue
for divorce the ground of cruel treatment and
intoXication, and solely upon her statement the
divorce is granted. She may relate to the Jury
entire fabrication, but she is not subjected to
cross examination, because the other party is not
represented, and there is no one to question what
she says. The same applies, of course if the pc
titioner is man.
So far from the above being a correct state
ment, it is the duty Of the presiding Judge
to appoint an attorney to resist the divorce,
and the Judge himself often sits the case to
the bottom before submitting it to the jury.
A fair way to test the accuracy of The News
statement is to ask The News for one single
c,tse Of divorce qOhich 1t claims acas improp-
c1(y &rante5.
ct it name some of these 6ivorces granted
by two separate juries, at two different terms
of court, that ought not to have been granted.
Does The News believe that a man should,
put up with wife who gets drunk, shanles
him in public, and In private, and uses Ian
guage and conduct which no decent husband
can tolerate?
Does The News believe that woman should
G12cay8 put up with husband who is habitu-
ally drunk, whose language and conduct out
RACES every feeling of delicacy, and whose bru-
tality even goes to the point Of physical NAL
treatment?
After all, it is the old question of how we
will regard the marital relation.
We non-Catholics say that marriage is moth
ing more than a civil contract and that a
breach Of it, to the extent named in our di
vorce laws, authorizes the courts to a1a12u1 It,
The man who combats that view antagOn-
ICES basic principle of our Common Law, and
a basic principle of Professionalism.
The Roman Catholic view is, that marriage
is a Sacrament which can not be broken.
OF course, the Biblical teaching is Just the
opposite Of this, for Christ himself expressly
recognized the validity of divorce on the
ground of adultery.
Be that as it may, our modern States are
not founded upon Hebrew ideals, but upon
those of the original Tuetons, Angles Sax
ons &c.
The Pope himself grants divorce fast
enough, when there is huge advantage to him
to be gained by it.
For instance, not long ago he divorced two
of the Drexel women of Philadelphia
In this manner, the Roman Church got two
more American heiresses inside it's dungeons,
and they also got the D0hzgrem fortune Of see
en- million dollars.

War fame, whose invention of new gun made

death of Mrs. Robert ]. Wynne, wife
of former Postmaster General Wynne,

Mrs. Wynne was native of Wash

life, her parents having been among
the first pewholders. and always
prominent, as was their daughter, in

Mrs. Wynne had a large acquain-

in official circles, when her husband
became member of the Roosevelt

and in London (when her husband
was the consul generaD was noted
for its hospitalities in which she took
the greatest interest and pleasure.
