RED Cross NOTES

Japan, with population of 100000
600, has 100000 members of the
Red Cross; the United States, with
population of 1e0,OOO,OOO, has 100000.
The Red Cross looks after the COM
fort of the soldiers in the field and
does the mothers part when they are
wounded. Shall we help them now,
or shall we wait until they lie wound
ed and separated from us by $500
miles of difficult ocean?
Have their needs looked after now,
so that, prepared, there will be unne.
cessary suffering for the dear ones
who will be giving their country the
supreme service of battle.
The wy to begin is to join the Red
Cross. The dollar you give will pro-
duce maximum service for minimum
expenditure.
The Red Cross is not a squirting or
ganization. 1t counts on a long,
steady, sustained and persistent effort
on our part.
Washington headquarters reports to
the chapters the needs. The chapters
divide the work out to the branches
and the committees on distribution
give the work to the MEMBERS.

A Letter Written by Alex.
Stephens to Herschel V. J.
johnson 81 Years Ago.

The original of the following letter writ
ten by Alexander H. Stephens to Herschel
V. Johnson 81 years ago and dealing with
political matters of historical interest is in
possession of Mr.. J. F. Simmons, of JAS
per, Ga, an inspector in the employ of the
State Prison Commission. The letter was
found among the papers of Mr. Simmons
father, who was prominent in the politics of
the state at that time, and has been in his
possession rs years. 1t is on legal cap pa
per in pencil, and is in excellent state of
preservation and almost as legible as if
written only short time ago:
Crawfordville, Ga, July 10, 186O.-My
Dear Sir / wrote you yesterday or the day
before, and have now but moment to ac-
knowledge the receipt of yours of the 18th
inst, which came to hand last night No
apology was necessary for what you said
in your other letter. I-could and did fully
appreciate the feeling under which it was
written; and when consider the uncertainty
of mankind generally | can readily see how
you might be in doubt as to my course The
only error was in supposing me capable of
the same inconsistencies or like inconsistent
cies which so signally mark the characters of
others. One of the worst signs of the times,
in my opinion, is the perfect facility with
which men high in position abandon the
principles they have avowed all their lives
towards such regeneration.
| should be very glad indeed to see you
here. Let me know in advance when you
can come so that may be at home l ex-
pect to be in Augusta at court next Monday
and Tuesday. Can you no run down then
and come up with me on my return?
| see that the convention in Milledgeville
will likely be postponed until August The
Augusta meeting thus recommends, and
suppose the suggestion will be adopted gem
orally. A gentleman, Mr.. Saml. Fenley,
from Chattooga county, is now with me. He
says majority of the democrats in that
county will stand by the nationals. Cam
eron, the senator, he says, is for the national
ticket. The seceders are making great eff
forts. The nationals should organize prompt
ly in every county and circulate the docu-
ments giving the people the truth of the case.
The strongest pointed lick have been able
to give to all meet with is, that the oppo-
sition to Douglas in the South is based upon
nothing but this: that he refused to declare
it to be the duty of congress to pass law
which those who denounce him for his re-
fusal say they would not vote for them
selves.
But l can-say no more now-I am in great
haste for the mail. Yours truly,
ALEXANDER H. STEPHENS.
To Hon. H. V. Johnson, Spur, Ga.

ShiftY Statesmen.

1t is not uncommon to hear some one be-
moan the fact that we have no great states
men and leaders of the people such as illus
trated their state and country in the earlier
days. Those who cling to that view have
another thought coming, for no less a per-
son than the late Alex Stephens explodes
it. In a letter written to Herschel v.
Johnson 81 years ago, and which is print
ed on this page of The News, the "Little
Commoner' characterized as
zone of the worst signs of the times .
the perfact facility with which men high
in position abandon the principles they
have avowed all their lives and the omi-
nous Indifference of the people toward
such regeneration
It seems that public men of sixty years
ago were just as uncertain, just as ready to
abandon views and convictions and spouse
some passing fad they fancied to be popu-
lar as are those of today. And it may be
noted, in passing, that the fckleness of the
people is also just as marked.

Promotes Peace Prospects.

The arrival of General Maude at Bagdad
was received throughout Great Britain with
keener satisfaction than any previous Brit
ish accomplishment on land. It means the
attainment of an objective at which the
British army had been aiming for more than
TWO years, two earlier efforts having failed
on account of inadequate preparation.
In occupying Bagdad Great Britain takes
possession of the eastern terminus of the
Berlin to Bagdad railway, which has long
figured as the backbone of the German
scheme.of oriental commercial conquest. 1t
was to control the Balkan right of way for
this route that war was forced upon Serbia,
in the opinion of many observers. It proba-
bly, was in the hope that a settlement might
be made while this corridor remained under
German influences and the terminal under
Turkish control that Berlin made it's bid for
peace last year. In actual or virtual con-
troll Of this commercially and strategically
important rail route Berlin might be able
to score victory in fact, even though the
war should close without territorial gains
or even with territorial losses elsewhere. It
is to be expected now that the British will
never evacuate Bagdad while the possibility
Of realizing the German dream remains.
The expectation is that the British score
in Mesopotamia is to be matched by Rus
sian scores in Turkish territory to the east.
Syria and Arabia are reported on the verge
of revolt against Turkish rule. Unless the
sultan's empire has unforeseen powers of
resistance it would seem that the whole
structure of Turkey in Asia is trembling
From the standpoint of those who believe
peace cannot be made until the allies are
in position to dictate terms the fall of Bag
dad measurably promotes the prospect for
an early peace.

Community Spirit.

There is a noticeable growth of commu-
nifty spirit in Terrell county, which argues
we'll for our advancement in things worth

ously in a commercial way, but also it is
of material benefit in both educational and
religious fields. AS the farmers of a COM
munity band together for farming eff
ciency-better quality with less cost of pro-
duction-so the school and church authori-
ties, patrons and members are combining
for community efficiency along their lines
of work.
The meeting of all the Terrell schools
which is soon to be held in Parrott, will
give direct evidence of the advantages of
educational community unity, which is the
explanation of community spirit.
Omitted we stand and divided we fall" no
matter what the phase of the undertaking.

Newspaper Men in CONGRESS.

The wish has often been expressed that
there could be a congress at Washington in
which lawyers were not in such preponder-
ant majority as they usually are It is ar
gued that the nation would get fairer rep
resentation from men whose minds were not
so taken up with the technical side of the
law, and who, perhaps, stood in closer con-
tact with the everyday life of the people.
In this connection it is interesting to note
that there will be fifty newspaper men in the
new congress. The profession of journalism
was never so fully represented in the ma
tons law-making body as it will be in the
Sixty-ffth congress. From these men there
is every reason to expect practical and eff
cient legislation and laws seasoned with that
sympathy for life in all its phases which is
bred into the newspaper man by the per-
Torrance of his daily tasks.
An eye for significant detail, quick grasp
of fundamentals and an aptitude for being
on the job are the necessary characteristics
of good newspaper man, and should find
valuable reflection in the laws of the nation.

The Cloture Rule.

The United States senate has adopted a
rule that will, upon recommendation of a
committee composed of an equal number of
democrats and republicans and ratified by
twO-thirds of the senators, allow a consid-
cradle number of those present to transact
legislation over the protest of the minority
that would flibuster.
Anything that even resembles cloture
has not been generally popular throughout
the country, and of course could not be be-
cause neither faction of the political par
ties that strive for control would be willing
to put in the hands of bare minority the
right to run roughshod over those who might
lack a few votes to win the contest. Where
the division in the senate is close, and where
there is but few votes between the aye
and nay division, cloture will not now ap-
ply, and there is that safety in Legislation
that has been claimed for an hundred years
for the senate, where no mans voice has
been hushed by parliamentary procedure
that would strip him of his right to speak
his full time on any subject But nowhere
will be approval of rule that will allow g
few senators to stand in the way of legisla
ton that is considered by seventy-five pei
cent of the members of the senate to b.
needed. 1t is helpful change, and it will
give nOn-partisan movement its full
strength when statesmen find that they mus
invoke it to accomplish what is necessary TO,
the country
In the face Of a crisis no man should stan,
before the flag, and seek to stop the colo
bearer.

into account the Lusitania women and chill

you three years ago that there could be ten

an institution would you have consigned
him? And yet, the most anybody is now
claiming is that the war is just approaching
the decisive stage.

Not the Presidents Duty.

The president cannot declare war. That
is the duty of congress, and congress alone.
There can be no declaration of war with
Germany on the part of the United States,
therefore, before congress meets.
1t is not expected that the Algonquin Incl
dent will cause the president to hasten the
converting of congress, and it may be that
war will not be declared for weeks, but no
where is there much cause to hope that war
may be avoided.

The Family Circle.
From the Lavonia Times.


Is modern life breaking up the family cir
Gle? If it is it is a sad day for our country
When the influences of home life are de-
stroyed there is danger of a decline. The
home is the balance wheel. When the bal
life is liable to go at any kind of tangent
the following from the Athens Banner:
Whoever has a family circle would
better enjoy it to the full tonight. A
family circle has become one of the
rare luXuries of life, and those who are
fortunate to possess one ought to ap-
preciate their good fortune. What was,
a generation ago, an accepted blessing
is being destroyed by many of today's
influences
And this comment from the Savannah
Press
There are a lot of us growing up with
out knowing anything about the refin-
ing influences of the American family
circle. Little sister has to give UP her
time to dancing classes; little brother is
attracted more by the movies than he is
by the Preside; big sister is autoing.
and big brother is seeking adventure
standing on the street corner watching
the larger girls pass en- route to the
vaudeville show. Mother and father?
Why, mater is bridge-whisting, and
pater is draw-pokering at the club.
You will notice in this brief resume
that none of the family is placed at
prayermeeting. This institution, we
fear, is getting as old-fashioned as the
family circle.

NEGROES OBJECT
 I'M CROW CARS
RiOting Caused by Attempt to Eject Troopers From Seats Provided
 for White Persons

HOUSTON, Texas. Aug. 29.Investi- gation by the municipal authorities here today indicates that the rioting by the negro troopers of the Twenty Fourth Infantry was caused by the negro soldiers declining to occupy the seats set aside in the street cars for negroes by the municipal authorities. When an attempt was made to force them to occupy the Jim Crow" seats they refused to leave the cars and fight was precipitated. during which the conductor was badly beat en up. Police were called and they were forced to use their clubs freely before they could place under arrest. The negroes believing that their com- rades had been clubbed unnecessarily marched on the city in force, and a riot ensued, during which thirteen persons including three policemen were killed.
 The tcoops have been removed to northern locations, and those arrest ed will be tried for murder.
