ARE SELFISH INTERESTS AT
WORK?

Judging from a recent statement OF
President Wilson, the State Depart
ment at Washington is in possession
of information that affords good
grounds for believing thot there are
powerful influences at work trying to
Influence the people of Mexico against
the United States, hoping thereby to
force intervention upon this country.
And while of course, nothing of this
kind is contemplated, yet a vigorous
investigation is going on by the State
department to determine from what
source this devilish influence comes.
1t is the general opinion of those
who have kept in close touch with
Mexican affairs, that American inter-
ests, that is those owning property
down there are largely responsible for
the many canards that have been put
in circulation. President Wilson is
taking a deep personal interest in the
affairs of Mexico, and is said to be de-
termined if possible to put a stop to
the baseless rumors afoat, and which
are calculated to do no end of harm.
1t is to be hoped that he will sue
coed, that some means will be devised
to get at the hellish motives at the
bottom of the matter and deal out the
punishment deserved. Selfish interests
and politics should have no place in
the Mexican affairs. Conditions are
bad enough as they are.

AN ARMY OVER NIGHT.

We. believe it was Mr.. Bryan who
said that million men would spring
to arms overnight when our glorious
country calls.
Wanderful sentiments these, but
surely he did not mean our common
everyday nights, but must have had IN
mind one of those six months affairs
over in the country where Dr. Cook
claims to have gone. Our criticism
and comment arises from the fact that
for the first weeks campaign to re-
cruit our army up to war strength oy
enlisting an additional 10000 men
yielded just SAG recruits. Bryan drew
beautiful picture, was he right?

TURN ON THE GLIM.

Invariably the American public gets
warm under the collar whenever con-
gress gets to dallying with appropria-
ton bills. A loud cry is sent up and
out all over the country railing at the
extravaganza of our law makers for
doing out millions of the peoples
Toney for river and harbor improve
ments, good roads, public buildings,
pensions, the army and navy, etc. They
charge graft, class legislation, spoil
iZation and almost every other thing
in the category of meaness. That
there is waste in a great many of
these measures no one will deny, but
the humor of the situation, over which
the gods must smile, is that of the
people, themselves who waste billions
each year becoming indignant at their
chosen representatives for frittering
away a few hundred millions that
have at least a semblance of honest
purpose.
According to DR.. Charles w. Elliot,
president emeritus, of Harvard Uni
versity, Americans spend each year
nearly six billion dollars that cannot
by any stretch of imagination be called
necessities of life. After long and
careful study DR.. Elliot submits the
following table of these expenditures:
intoxicating liquors .... $2,200,000 900
1 ObbSoC I,ApUyUOu,OUp
Jewelry and plate ..... 80O,O0O,O 900
Automobiles ........... 100000, 900
Confectionery ....... 100000 900
Soft drinks ............. 12O,OOO,OOO
Tea and coffee ......... 10O,OOO,OOO
Millinery ............. 10000, 1000
Patent medicines ....... $4,000, 900
Chewing gum ....... $4,000, 900
Just think what we could or couldn't
do if we should swear off, for a year.

The moving picture censor doesn't
seem to be on his job. Some of the

enough to make the even evil minded
blush with shame. Nature studies and
the comics are about the only pictures
shown nowadays that are fit for chill
dren to see. The public should insist
that the censors do their duty.

DOCTOR SAYS THAT.
ARSENIC IS NOT 4
DEADLY POISON NOW

ATLANTA, April 3.-Arsenic is not
a deadly poison, according to DR.. w.
Jay Bell, well-known Atlanta ply
stefan, and he is conducting de-
monstration under the observation OF
the state prison commission of Geor
gia and the medical faculty of Emory
University to prove his contention.
All medical colleges teach that
arsenic is a deadly poison when ad
ministered in sufficiently large doses,
all colleges of pharmacy teach the
scientific text books define arsenic as
a deadly poison.
Nevertheless, DR.. w. Jay Bell con
tends that arsenic is not deadly pois-
on.
Taking six small dogs which have
been under the observation of three
veterinarian surgeons for a week, DR..
Bell this morning began his demon
stration by giving each dog a dose OF
arsenic large enough, according 10
general belief, to kill human being.
To the first he gave one grain, to the
second two grains, to the third three
grains, to the fourth five grains, to the
fifth eight grains, to the sixth sixteen
grains.
The seal on the arsenic bottle was
broken by the chemist of the state
geological department The doses
we're given by the state veterinarian.
The members of the state prison com
mission and the members of the En-
DRY medical faculty were present and
saw the doses given. The dogs are in
tie inner court yard of Fulton county
Jail and will be closely watched
throughout the week, which is to be
the period of the demonstration. Every
day the dose will be repeated.
If arsenic is not deadly poison, DR..
". ]. McNaughton, now serving a lie
sentence at the Georgia state prison
farm for the murder of Fred Flanders
by secretly giving him arsenic, is not
guilty.
II arsenic is not a deadly poison,
DR.. Arthur Warren Waite, the New
York dentist, accused of the murder of
his father-in-law, John E, Beck,
Grand Rapids, Mich, millionaire, by
secretly giving him arsenic, is not
guilty.
If arsenic is not a deadly poison,
several big damage suits against the
United States government on the
ground that cattle died from being dip.
ped in arsenic solution to kill cattle
ticks, will fail
DR.. Bell has devoted his spare time
for years to study and research of
septic agents, with especial attention
to arsenic. His conclusion that arsen-
IL is not a poison is the result of his
work. He claims to have given a dog
as much as sixty grains at one dose
without injury TO the dog. He is con-
fident his present demonstration will
sustain his contention.

BEAUTY, TEARS AND JURIES.

The power of sentiment over the
average jury is known to all good
lawyers. 1t has been exercised sue.
cessfulIy in murder trials, damage
suits and divorce proceedings. That
this power sometimes is abused can
not be denied Recently, after woman
defendant charged with shooting
man had been acquitted, the presiding
Judge took occasion to express his
regret that the law does not give
women gun-toters the right to shoot
feeble-minded jurors on sight.
In Birmingham a short time ago a
young man was on trial for bigamy
charges having been brought by wife
No l, a Georgia girl. 1t looked like
clear case against him until wife No.
2 took the stand. She wept freely, and
the jury sighed in accord. Poor fell
lows! Most of them were middle
aged married men and should have
known more about a womans tears
No. 2 told of her great affection for the
husband of No. l, insisted that their
welded life had been a dream Of bliss
such as the novelists write about, as
sCred these credulous gentlemen that
death would be preferable to separa.-
ton and, leaving the stand, threw
herself into hubby's waiting arms and
wept some more. The states case
still was clear enough, but the jurors
minds were clouded.
The jury was ready to render its
verdict right there, Indeed, it is not
surprising that it showed signs of i'm
patience to express its sympathy for
No. 2. Then the state threw bomb lie
the form of a letter written by the ac-
cIsed while in Jail, instructing No.
how to work" the jury. 1t read:
With your beauty (yom can
come near delivering the goods if
you'll get it off with the proper
wrinkle You have some dramatic
talent; put it to them.
l know these boneheaded, chick.
en-hearted juries when it comes to
pretty women sobbing around. Just
hand it to them good and strong;
they can't resist; they'll fall for it,
all right It's cinch.
The jurymen, possibly from a sense
Of recovered rignity, ceased their sniff
fling. One of them audibly exclaimed,
We'll, I'll be id" and probably
thought he had been. Again they
quickly reached a verdict. The biga-
mist was convicted. Who'd O. thought
it asked an elderly juror as he left
the court room. Except for the letter
no one would have thought it.-Savan-
