SOUND TO THE CORE

In his address before the teachers
of the Eau Claire Normal school Gov
ernor Philip said:
''At the risk of being old fashioned, p"
continued Governor Philip, Il have
abiding faith in the value of the fun
damentals of education. Reading,
writing and arithmetic are as valuable
today as when those arts we're invent
ed. The young man who takes up the
higher branches of education will be .
failure If he neglects the three Rs.
] regard il as the states first duty TO
give attention TO the education of the
masses of the people. They constitute
the great majority, and therefore are
tae main strength and support OF the
nation.
That's looking at the question of
education from the right standpoint.
Too much have we been carried away
with the notion of higher education
to the sacrifice of these essential fun
mentals. Governor Hoard.

s THE TRIAL OF LIBERTY.


a citizen can be punished, by forms
of law, for speaking or writing or
printing the truth?
Mr.. Watson printed the truth
about Rome, as Rome's own book
shows
Nobody denies this fact.
If Mr.. Watson were convicted and
punished for this, it would array the
statute against the American Con-
stitution, and so nullify the Consti
tuition.
The plea is that the quotation is
"obscene.'
1t is Rome's own theology, in her
own books, her priests are required
to preach, teach and practice it, and
if it is obscene it conviCts Romanism
of obscenity. Rome created, priests
sell, teach and practice it..
All Mr.. Watson has done was to
let Rome tell the truth ON herself, as
stated in her own book, in his Maya
zine, to some folks who did not pre-
viously know that truth; and now
comes Rome and seeks to conceal her
self-confessed obscenity and protect
her theological and practical nasti-
ness from exposure by taking refuge
behind the statute prohibiting OBJ
scenity.
Here is the reduction ad absurdum,
between the Constitution and the
statute. The effort is to have the
statute assassinate the Constitution
in order to save Romanism from eX-
posture.
A harlot then may advertise her
harlotry in her own books or papers
and circulate these obscene ADVERTISE
ments among her own victims,
through the mails with impunity;
but if a decent citizen quotes the
harlots advertisement in order to in
form and warn the public against
the corruption of such harlot, the
said decent citizen is hailed into court
and punished for telling the truth,
while the said harlot continues to
advertise and ply her trade with i'm
punity, being protected by the courts
from exposure.
And this prostitutes the law and
the courts to the service Of prosti
tuition and makes it a crime to tell
the truth on criminal.

of the Dark Ages against the throat
of Truth, on American soil and I'M
der the American Flag and Constitu-
ton. If the courts, sworn to uphold
the Constitution, give Rome the YER
dict she seeks against Mr.. Watson in
the pending case, it means the death
Of free speech and press, or it means
an American Revolution that will
teach the Rome serving judiciary
that the same power that made the
Constitution stands sword in hand
behind that document and will, in
the end, doom and damn the bloody
hand that dares to attempt to assas-
sinate it.
Not Mr.. Watson alone, but Liberty
and the Supreme Law of this nation
wrought out in blood to protect that
Liberty, are on trial. If, at the be-
hest of Rome, the past Revolution
with it's resultant Constitution, can
not protect our Liberties, then by
the Eternal we can and we will make
another Revolution and another Con-
stitution which will protect it!
The day the Courts of America

Wealthy Farmer
Says He Now Feels
20 Years Younger
Judge Woodson Now Hale
and Hearty After Taking
Tanlac-Has Held Public
Office Over 20 Years. d.

81 can pick up log Of wood and
throw it on the fire with as much
ease as l could 20 years ago." said
Judge M. L. WOodson, of Jericho,
Ark, in telling of the remarkable
benefits he has devired from Tanlac
while in Jacobs Pharmacy in Mem
phis, recently.
Judge Woodson, who is now 70
years of age, served the entire four
years of the civil war in Fosters
command. He lived two years in
Memphis right after the war, ana
then settled on his present estate,
where he has lived continuously for
SO years. Judge Woodson states
that his only possessions when he
started out for himself we're a pair
OF mules and $38 in cash. He made
his fortune farming and trading, and
is now probably the Wealthiest
planter in Critenden county. He
served two terms as tax assessor and
20 years as justice of the peace, and
is one of the most prominently
known men in Arkansas.
81 had been in a general rum
down condition and failing health for
10 or II years. he continued, land
for the past ten years wasn't able
ito get up on my horse from the
ground; | had to lead him to a block
or something before could mount.
Jericho is a mile and a half from
my plantation, and l hadn't been
able to walk there for my mail, &C
COrding to my usual custom, for
year or two.
81 had lost my appetite and could
hardly eat anything at all. [ realize
that a man 70 years old will give
way, but 1 got SO I couldn't put
log of wood on the fire when the
negroes were not handy. My doctor
wouldn't allow me to eat any meats
or much of anything else except
vegetables, as I had been threatened
with diabetes; but Tanlac has even
Strengthened me out in that respect.
[ was badly out of sorts, and it
looked like nothing 1 could take
would do me any good or give me
enough strength to look after my
farm hands and my crops.
Last spring, when Tanlac begun
to be advertised and everybody was
talking about it, l decided to see
what it would do for me. Well, it
got me started back up hill at once;
but, without going into details about
my rapid improvement with each
bottle, I'll just say that after taking
six bottles [ could straddle my horse
from the ground and walk that mile
and a half for my mail with all
ease. In fact, it just built me up
until I really feel 20 years younger.
I'm more active and have more
strength and energy than I've had
in years. See how spry I walk /
don't walk like a man a day over
40, do I? That's what Tanlac has
done for me. I don't know what
Tanlac has in it that does you SO
much good, but, whatever it is, it
certainly hits the spot and builds
you up better than anything 1 ever
saw. 1t certainly has made a new
man of me, and I've told lots of
people about it. My wife has taken
it, too, and it has built her up won
derfully; and I've bought lots of it
for my negroes and it has helped all
of them that have taken it,
Tanlac is sold by one regular es-
tablished agency in every town.

KNEW FIRST AID:
AND SAVE LIFE
BOY SCOUT TRAINING PROVES OF
GREAT VALUE IN SEVERAL
EMERGENCIES OF LATE

The members Of Troop ! Of Sacramento
Cal, Boy Scouts of America, while on a re-
cent hike had their first experience in the
practical use of first aid a. a means of life
saving. The boys were in the vicinity Of
Lake Washington when they were joined BY
Orval Austin. Austin, who is not a scout,
had a pump gun over his shoulder. On
Joining the boys he brought his gun to the
ground with a thud which exploded the
cartridge and blew the entire palm out Of
Austin's left hand.
The scouts immediately applied a hasty
but efficient bandage to the wound and
placing Austin on a stretcher hurried him
to the nearest doctor. Meanwhile others of
the troop ran for assistance. About a mile
from the scene of the accident they found
an automobile which they pressed into SER
vice.
Had it not been for the prompt action
of the scouts and their knowledge of first
aid. it is probably that Austin would have
died from the loss of blood and shock be

WASHINGTON, D. c., May s.
When today's cabinet meeting was
over and members left the gathering,
Secretary Lansing stated to the As
sociated Press that he could not dis
cuss the note at this time. All the
other cabinet members made similar
statements, and it was made plain
that decisive course of action will
be determined upon only after study
irg the official text later.
The latter portion of the note some
what overcomes, it is believed the fav-
orable impression the first section has
created. The fact that new instruc-
tions have been issued to submarine
commanders, is thought to carry only
a ray of hope that break can be
averted.

receipt of the official text of the Ger

dicated this afternoon that the Ger

broken, unless the orders to submarine
commanders are violated and other
American lives endangered. Possibly
no action will be taken for week yet,
as Secretary Lansing informed report

PETITION FOR A
RAISE IN RATES
HEARD MAY 23

The Americus Public Service Com
pany gives notice in today's issue of
the Times-Recorder by order of the
railroad commission of Georgia that
they have petitioned for permission to
increase the rates on lighting and
rover electricity in Americus.
The petition asks for increase for
electric lighting from SC per kilowatt
hour to 12c per kilowatt hour,
and that the minimum rate on
power be fixed at &c per kilowatt hour,
instead of 1 12c per kilowatt hour as
il now stands.
They further petition that they be
,allowed to increase the rate on gas to
SI.4 per thousand cubic feet, from the
present rate of $1.5O for lighting and
$1.25 for fuel purposes.
The petition will be heard before the
commission on Tuesday, May %, in it's
Office at the State capitol in Atlanta at
10 o'clock a. m.
The announcement is not unexpected
as the Times Recorder carried the ex-
elusive story to the effect that the COM
mission had received the petition. This
is the first announcement of the date
set for the hearing.
1t will be remembered that the city
council went on record by vote
OF to 2, not to oppose the raise
in rates which have been petitioned for.
1t is not known what action the citi.
zens will take on the matter, but the
final decision is awaited with inter
est
