Our loss is our country's gain.
| refer to J. l. Finney, who is now
in the officers training camp at Fort
Oglethorpe Maury county and the
state will sadly miss him. | am sure
I voice the sentiments Of a great ma
jority of the people OF the county
when | say, there was no man in the
county, whose going would be more
distinct loss to the county. Since be-
coming citizen of the county some
ten years ago, he has made a host of
true and loyal friends, whose best
wishes and prayers will follow him,
though he may be in the thiekest Of
the fight on foreign soil. Wherever
fate may cast his lot, we rest in per-
feet assurance he will be true to
every trust reposed in him.
As an editor, his editorials and
writings were in ability the equal Of
any of the large dailies of the state
and were always literally copied, He
expressed himself openly and boldly,
yet free from malice or the spirit of
hatred, he seldom ii ever lost a fight.
He always stood for highest ideals,
and advocated nothing that was not
for the good of the people, county and
state. A more patriotic man than J.
I. Finney never lived. He freely gave
his oldest son (who was only sixteen
years ODD, to the service OF his coun-
try, who is now at the front in the
navy. He asked no man to do that
thich he was not willing to do himself.
OF his own volition-he said goodbye
to devoted wife and loving children
in discharging that which he con-
ceiVed to be his duty to his country
in her hour of need. In his last act
as a civilian, he had the good of the
people in view, when he secured such
a high type of man to take his place
as editor Of The Herald. R0bt. H.
Clagett is no stranger to the people
and The Herald will continue to grow
in favor with the people. 1ts high
standard Of principles will not be low
cred and The Herald will continue to
float on a high wave of popular favor
with the people Let US give Editor
Cagett our influence and support and
he will give Us a paper to be proud Of

be armed by the United States gov
eminent and sent on their voyages
to the ports of the seven seas re-
gardless of submarines, barred
zones" and other obstacles which the
war has placed in the path of Amer
ican commerce.
President Wilson definitely decid-
ed on this step Wednesday. Forti-
fed with the opinion of the attorney
general that he has the authority to
make such a move, and with the ap-
proval of administration supporters
in congress and the legal advisers of
the government, the president is con-
vinced that he is acting within his
rights even though the congressional
approval which he sought before the
death of the Sixty-fourth congress
was withheld.
Consults Six Senators.
The president called to the
White House Wednesday six Demo-
cratic senators who have been active
in behalf of administration measures
Owen of Oklahoma, Walsh Of
Montana, Swanson of Virginia, Smith
Of Georgia. Reed Of Missouri, and
James of Kentucky-and informed
them of his decision. He also took
up with them and approved the prop
osition Of changing the senate rules
toward a modified form Of cloture
which will hereafter prevent any
little group Of wilful men, from
holding up legislation vitality affect
ing the nation.
Following the White House con-
ference with the senators, Secretary
Of State Lansing was summoned to
the executive mansion and remained
closeted with the president for al
most an hour. The two canvassed
the situation thoroughly. Every
eventuality which the move may
bring forth was gone over.
It was said in administration cir
cles that a public statement will soon
be issued. setting forth the exact po-
sition Of the government IN arming
its merchant vessels.
Plan Cloture Rule.
Meanwhile, leaders of the senate,
which is in special session to act up
on presidential appointments, are
preparing to redraft the rule which
now permits unlimited debate and
makes nlibusters possible, to provide
q modified cloture regulation, under
which two-thirds of the senators may
check debate and bring an issue to
vote. II 1t is successful, an extra
session Of congress will probably be
called by the president very soon and
the armed neutrality measure rein
troduced Immediately at his sugges.
tion.
As another feature of the situa-
ton, a bitter fight against re-elec-
ton of William J. Stone to the chair
manship of the foreign relations
committee will be made by members
OF his own party. despite the hereto
fore inviolable seniority rule that
has always prevailed in such matters.
In the house there is talk OF bi-
partisan organization, especially II
obstructionists show a tendency to
tie up proceedings. AS matters
stand now, they hold the whip hand
BY going 1t alone they can tie house
business. Hence, Republicans and
Democrats alike, are talking of com.
bining to choose a speaker-proba-
bly, Champ Clark-and acting in uni.
son on any big business cfYecting in.
ternational affairs. They do no,
want the charge to lie against them
that they are making the nation ap.
pear disunited in q crisis.
