PROHIBITION IS UP
FOR 4 WARM FIGHT

ATLANTA, Ca, Sept. 19-That plans
are being laid for grand assault in
the next legislature upon the prohibit
ton laws of Georgia is perfectly ap-
parent already, though less than a
week has elapsed since Governor Nat
E. Harris, who made possible the en-
actment of the laws, was defeated at
tie polls.
1t is the same old story that has been
enacted and re-enacted in so many
states where prohibition has come and
gone and come again, its fortunes
varying with the degree of earnest and
clear-sighted vigilance exercised by
its supporters.
In the state of Georgia, in the recent
election, the prohibitionists allowed
themselves to be divided by the ea-
trance of DR.. L. G. Hardman into the
race, with the result that a governor
who had rendered more recent, more
conspicuous and omre effective SER
vice in behalf of prohibition than any
other chief executive in the country,
went down in defeat.
Today the enemies of prohibition
are already hailing the result as an
anti-prohibition victory. A remark
able similarity prevails in the convers-
ion they are handing around. The
Georgia laws are "the most drastic IN
the country" they say. Governor Har-
ris included prohibition in the call for
the extra session against the advice
of many friends, and see what hap
pened to him, they say. Prohibition
was the principal plank in the gov
ernor's platform, and he got badly
they say, ETC., etc.
And another point, upon which one
hears them laying special emphasis:
Hugh Dorsey said he would favor no
change in the present laws, WITHOUT
submitting the change to the people.
Which means that all sorts of at
tacks will be launched upon the laws
when the legislature meets, and one OF
the pdincipal efforts will be to pass
local bill with a referendum clause at
tached. Of course this would open the
way for the liquor interests to expend
the biggest slush fund that was ever
turned loose in the state of Georgia.

FIRST SESSION Of
MINING ENGINEERS

DOUGLAS, Ariz., Sept. 19.-Tbe
first of the technical sessions of the
convention of the American Institute
OF mining Engineers, which is meeting
in various places in Arizona this week,
were held here today on the general
subjects of "Shelting" and Leach
ing"
A. G. MoGregor, of Warren, Ariz., in
an address on the New Copper
Smelling Plants in Arizona" told the
engineers that in Arizona during the
rast five years there has been more
activity in copper-smeltering plant
construction than in the same length
OF time in the history of the world. Mr..
McGregor said that in this period five
new copper-smeltering plants had been
constructed and put into operation.
The monthly output from these plants.
he said, averages from 100000 to
100000 pounds. He then described
new problems which had been met
successfully and new features in plant
design and equipment which had been
developed
At the evening session on "Leact-
ing" Frederick and Harold W. Aldrieh
described the 2,oOO-ton teaching plant
at Anaconda, Mont.
The party will leave tonight for
Bisbee where tomorrow's sessions will
be held. Mining and geology will be
the subjects to be taken UP in the
technical discussions.

ENGLISH PRIVATE SOLDIER MAY
DEVELOP INTO GREAT COMPOSER

LONDON, Sept. 19.-Private RALPH
Burnham who came all the way FROM
Virginia, where he was born of Eng
lish parentage, very soon after the call
Your King and Country Need You"
and who joined the Middlesex Regi-
ment, has developed into writer and
composer of music whose name will
outlive the war.
The first song he wrote after joining
met with great success. 1t was called
THE Soul of the Empire" and has
since been sung wherever soldiers are
encamped. Recently, however, he has
completed another piece, called The
Prayer of the World" which was i'm
mediately adopted as an army hymn
and is sung at most church parades
and religious services of the troops.

QUEEN IS AN
ENGLISH WOMAN OF NOTE

LONDON, Sept 19.-One of the man.
reasons for rejoicing here at the en-
trance of Rumania into the war on tue
side of the Allies is the fact that the
Rumanian queen is an Englishwoman
of great popularity. Before her mar
riage to the Hohenzollern prince who
is now King Ferdinand, Queen Marie
was the beautiful and popular daugb-
ter of the late King Edwards eldest
brother, the late Duke of Edinburgh.
She is still regarded as beautiful, aa1
indeed with her husband and two boys
and four girls is frequently spoken of
IS constituting the best looking royal
family in Europe, as we'll as the most
photographed
Queen Marie is beloved throughout
her country for her generosity AMI
constant efforts in behalf of the
poor. She is the leading spirit of the
Society of Goddesses of Rumania, each
goddess acting as fairy godmother
to at least one poor child. The queen
has an odd hobby in the collection of
secent-bottles, of which she had more
than 5000.
When aboard her fathers flagship at
Malta Rumanias future queen became
a great favoritc with officers and sail
ors. She had great love of helping
the ships cook with his duties. On
one occasion she fried fifty eggs and
slices of ham and had them distributed
among the men as token of goodwill.

CHINESE PREMIER
is HOLDING TIGHT

PICKING, Sept 19.-Premier Tuaf
CIi-jui is constantly Strengthening his
held upon the Picking government. Il
spite of efforts to displace him, his
popularity has increased. He is gen
orally recognized as stalwart mill
tary leader who is equal tc the pres
ent emergency. Rumors of his possible
resignation have been circulated re-
peatedly, but these were set at rest by
a letter the premier has sent to a
friend who wrote urging him to con-
tinue in Office. n this letter he says
Your kind view that my retaining
or my resigning office is vitality con-
nected with the affairs Of State serves
only to make me realize how incompe-
tent am. Tuan's career has so far
been an exceedingly strenuous one,
and full of unpleasant turns. AS the
result of many hardships suffered, it
was once his intention to live retired
life. He would follow in the footsteps
of the ancients and spend the rest of
his days in the deep forests. 1t hap
pened, however, the country was
thrown into endless difficulties, and
Tuan was compelled by the people, for
internal and external reasons to aban-
don his seclusion.
HE has asked himself this question:
What shall say to excuse myself if |
suffer the country to be plunged into
perdition after having had hand in
the making of the Republic from the
very beginning? This view led him
completely to change his mind and to
throw himself into the whirlpool He
swears that he will not retire until the
causes of trouble in the country have
all disappeared. He boasts not that
he, and old and stupid man, can be OF
much use to the country; but he be-
lieves fully in the words of the Bud
aha; Who will enter hell, if l do not o
In patrotish he fiatters himself that he
is not much in the rear of others. And
fortunately the wise people of our day
are capable of understanding him.
Whether attempts are made to lead
him astray with the offer of an empty
honor or to intimidate him by threats,
he assured that your young brother
will stand unmoved under all circum-
stances. He begs thus to pour out his
heart in reply to your heartfelt in.

CENTER OF TRADE IN
PEACE TINES IS The
TARGET OF Big GUN

WASHINGTON, d. c., Sept. 49,
l"Giurgevo, the Roumanian border city
from which the Bulgarian town OF
Rutschuk, on the south bank of the
Danube, was bombarded recently, is
the center of trade between the two
countries in peace times and is the
southern terminus of the first rail-
road built in Roumania, (1869), the
line running to the vapital, Bucharest,
40 miles to the north. With Smarda,
two and half miles distant, it is the
Danube port for Bucharest and for al.
the rich cortland which lies be-
tween the two Cities" says today's war
geography bulletin of the National
Geographic Society.
Occupying the site of ancient The
odrapolis, founded by the Emepror
Justinian and named by him for his
famous actress wife, daughter of a
bear-feeder of the amphitheater at
Constantinople, the present city of
Giurgevo was established by Genaese
silk and velvet merchants of the 14th
century who enjoyed the highly prof
table patronage of the finery loving
mobiles of this rich agricultural dis
trict. The name is derived from Gen
oa's patron saint, San Giorgio.
"a short distance north of Gieur-
geyo there is narrow defile which to
Roumanians is one of the most hal
lowed spots in the kingdom, for here
Michael the Brave in 1896 made q
stand which native historians COM
pare with Thermopylae. A tiny band
of patriots withstood the onslaughts of
Turkish army overwhelmingly su-
perior in numbers. The Roumanians
achieved notable victory, their ad-
versaries leaving three pashes dead
upon the field and the Grand Vizier
himself barely escaping death in the
neighboring marshes.
I'm the Turko-Russian war of 177l
the capture of Giurgevo was one of the
few successes of the decaying power.
Below this city the Danube wideas
until it is three miles from bank to
bank, while in ndd-stream are many
islets, overgrown with willow trees.
In early summer the adjacent plains,
presenting most delightful prospect
to the eye, are described by one tray-
eler as a never-ending succession OF
pasture lands, so rich so verdant, so
luxurant that one might almost fancy
they were the deality of the Latin s
dream of paradise where the green
hunting fields have no end"

FACTORY IS.
NEW BENEFICIARY.

PARIS, Sept. 19.-The national
porcelain factory at Sevres has just
recovered dainty statutette which it
prizes more than any of the famous
works of the establishment, for it is
the original figure of Madame de Pom
padour which the Sevres factory
made and presented to her over $50
years ago in gratitude for her found
ing the institution.
Nine de Pompadour's name is
chiefly linked with the gay life of
Louis XIV. But the famous beauty NOT
only We'd with Nine de Barry in the
gay world, but she also exercised much
influence in the serious affairs of state.
One of the most notable of these works
was the creation of the Sevres porce-
lain factory, which is a national insti-
tuition with an output of fine ceramics
famous the world over. 1t was Nine de
Pompadour who was the first patron of
the institution, and to this day Pom
padous blue" designates some of the
most delicate pieces of old Sevres
ware.
And that is why" said NJ. Bourg-
ecis, administrator of Sevres, that we
Prize so highly this statute of Nine
de Pompadour which has been recov-
cred after being lost these fanny years.
The administrator pointed out the
statute, which was carefully guarded
in glass case. 1t showed the favor
lite of Louis XIV CARRIED as a sheperd-
ess and leaning against an urn in the
gardens of Versailles. Very thought
fully another statute of Louis XIV +,
had been placed alongside the recover
ed relic, so that just as in the old days
of reality at Seyres Louis and Pom
padous were here united again in the
saem place.
"As this statuette was especially
as gift" NJ. Bourgeois ex-
rlained, the moulds were destroyed
after few copies had been made. AS
a rule scores of examples of work
are made, and it is comparatively easy
to obtain one of the originals, as to
make another copy from the moulds
which are preserved. But as this was
a special gift to the founder of our in
stitution, it went only to her, and all
ether traces of the work were lost or
destroyed. We had long known of the
existence of the statute and had Iongei
to recover such a historic work mark
ing the foundation of sevres. 1t was
only by chance that we got track if it
lately, and it was brought back as the
most precious relic of the institution
which made it as a gift to its ofunder."

WHAT HE DOES NOT PRINT.

The average newspaper man has
much to say on the subject OF the
news that he prints; and as rule,
there is plenty and of sufficient varie-
ty to appeal to all classes of readers
The good citizen may wish that
there was more of the things in
which he is specially interested,
but being fair minded will readily
concede that his wish is impossible
of fulfillment, as the tastes of many
have to be consulted.
There are always few In every
community who when they nave
some real or fancied grievance with
mankind in general or some one In
particular write it up and mail it to
the local paper. There is usually a
note that accompanies such articles
which reads something like this:
Please publish but do not attach my
name" They wish the newspaper
man to father some article which is
perhaps slanderous in its nature,
while they hide in the dark, lacking
the courage to come out in the open
and say what they have to say over
their own signature.
If man has hobby he wishes to
see in print over his name in his own
language or wishes to acquaint the
public with the snares and pitfalls
that Turk around every corner when
on perilious journey to far city
he is welcome to space in these col
umns. If anyone wishes to write a
few witticisms on the same he is just
as welcome, if it is over hi" sigma
lture, but to the Observation-Disclosures
my-name fellow there is nothing
doing" 49,
There are a few in every commu-
nifty who censure the editor because
he does not print an occasional hap
pening that may appear of great i'm
portance to these few. The editoi
rarely explains. 1t would be waste
of words. But the chances are that
