SENATE WOULD PROHIBIT
LIQUOR ADVERTISEMENTS

Transmission in the mails OF liquor
advertisements in circulars, newspap-
ers, or otherwise into states which
prohibit such advertising or solicit
ing. is barred by a bill by Senator
Bankhead of Alabama, passing the SEN
ate. 1t now goes to the house.
A clause penalizing postal employees
who should knowingly handle the pro
scribed mail matter was eliminated.
An amendment in behalf of newspa-
per publishers was added to request
the postmaster general from time to
time to time to issue public bulletins
giving list of states which prohibit
liquor advertising.
Senator Bankhead explained that
the bill was not aimed at newspaper
advertising especially, but more par
ticularly at wholesale liquor dealers
to prevent their sending liquor adver-
tisements and soliciting orders thru
the mail into dry" states which pro
hibit such advertisement and solicit
tation.

INSECT AS AGENT OF DESTINY
'neor'es to Account for Death Of
Enormous Creatures That Once
Reamed the Earth.

10 account for the death of those
enormous creatures which once roamed
our western country and peopled its
swamps and forests, the older geolo-
gists devised convenient theories
such as changes of climate, volcanic
disturbances, warfare among the spe-
cies.
AS Information accumulated, 1t be-
came harder and harder to make the
theories fit the case. Given time and
animal life adapts itself to changes of
climate. Movements of the earth are
seldom so widespread that flight can
not be taken from a disturbed area to
one of safety. If giant lizard fought
mountainous mammal, why did the sur
vivor go? Theory, it was seen, must
be in keeping with the law of probabil-
tiles. new and more reasonable
hypothesis has recently been brought
forward.
At the time that nature was expert
menting with monsters, there existed
lake in Colorado. 1t was surrounded
with forests which were tenanted by
hosts of insects. A volcano buried the
lake and its shores in ash. This hard
ened into stone. Scientists go to this
ancient graveyard, split the stone and
bring to light the petritied bodies of
the butterflies and moths, the beetles
and bugs. Among these insects are
two species of tsetse flies. There is
nothing like them in America today.
But in Africa they abound. They are
known as the carriers of the sleeping
sickness, one of the deadliest of dis
eases. 1t is fair to assume that the
tsetse flies Of Mlocene times were the
hosts or distributors Of disease bacilli
as they are now. Upon that assumption
new theory can be constructed: The
tsetse flies developed into a terrible
pest. AS they fiourished, their victims
grew less. In the course of centuries,
the bulky citizens of plain and marsh
gave up the warfare. They could fight
one another and yet live. They could
not deal with merciless insects.
The tho,ry has this merit whatever
else it may lack. 1t is plausible where
its predecessors succumbed to clearer
thinking.-ToledO Blade.

Hard Winters Of Long Ago.

The myth Of the ''old-fashioned win

proof of counting the hits and not

cold produce more lasting impress

FOR THE VETERANS.

On April 10th, an entertainment will
be given in this city by interested mad
ptriotic citizens in an effort to secure
funds to send the Confederate Vet
Grams of this section to the general
reunion to be held in Washington. The
arrangements are being completed and
the plans will be finally announced in
few days.
The people should cooperate in this
feature, which means much to the
grey heroes who fought in defense Of
their rights. The same spirit which
prompted their service through the
SOS fill move the men of the South to
give their aid and cooperation to the
nation in this hour of national con-
Germ.
The Times-Recorder hopes that the
occasion will be a great success, and
that every Confederate Veteran in
Sumter county will go to Washington.

A STATE OF WAR.

The nation has spoken through Pres
ident Wilson.
The president epitomized the conten-
tons and desires of the United States
last night, and the vast majority of the
people endorse his attitude.
A declaration that state of war is
existing between the United States and
Germany was requested The president
is justified by the truth in this state
ment
A clear difference between Germany
and her allies was made. This is SO
good, so far.
War with Germany means co-opera-
ton with the enemies of Germany
the Entente Allies, to include financial
assistance. This is proper at this juno
ture
A half million men as an army were
urged upon Congress by the Presi-
dent. Certainly, no less number could
be requested.
The American people, as a whole,
stand by our President. We do not
want war, but it IS here-not of our
but born of the nation which
has arrayed itself against civilization
and humanity.
The urgent and insistent request OF
the Times Recorder is that every loyal
and patriotic American stand by the
President and the government in this
serious step in defense of American,
rights.
The President has spoken, and the
ruth has been proclaimed.
May God speed certain and decis-
i've victory for the cause in which the
| nited States launches his very self.

A REAL PACIFIST.

Senator Lodge, of Massachusetts. has
found a real pacifst, and this splendid
example of what a pacifist comprises
should not pass unnoticed by the peo-
pie. Alexander Bannwart, a constit-
uent of Senator Lodge, called the vet
eran legislator a coward, because he
said he would support a war declara-
ton, if President Wilson requested it.
The Senator retorted with the lie, and
Bannwart hit the first blow, only to
be fioored by the senator from Massa-
chusetts, who incidentally is over sixty
years of age.
Bannwart was soundly and rightly
treated, as all other pacifsts should
who conduct themselves in such man
ner. The pacifist usually starts the
trouble. and comes out of the little
end of the horn on the recapitulation.
If the United States was conducted
IN the same spirit and manner as Paci.
fist Bannwart handled himself, we as q
nation would receive the same dose.

THE GERMAN "LEAK."

The Washington leak" has become
a part of our history, so far as the
stock-market incident was concerned,
but now Germany has found her a
leak which, no doubt, gives as much
prospect of being solved as did other
leaks" The Germans are investigat-
ing the circumstances by which oficiaa
Washington came into possession Of
the Zimmerman note, which proposed
an alliance with Mexico in case Of
war and sought to array Japan against
the United States.
The dispatches intimate that the Sc
cret code by which the letter was trans
mtted must be in possession of our
government, alse its contents would
have never become known. So, the
efficiency of American secret service
although honorable, we hope in the
way it is conducted, is found to be the
equal, if not superior to the German
spy system"
Let us hope that Washington holds
much more information that will prove
valuable in this crisis, and in the
meantime the Germans might relieve
of his foreign affairs
post and allow him to hunt the
leak"
