Aud there Is Kenneth McKeltar.
dashing. young Senator from Tenn
essee-a bachelor who lives at his
club. He is In a way the product
of the other WARRIOR instead of
inheriting lands and slaves In Ala

Tennessee and he was brought up
with poverty to spur his ambition.

college and Is today a successful

is one of the most aggressive OF
the younger generation of states
men, and one feels sure-unless he
believes 1t his solemn duty to stay
at home and fight suffrage-thSt he
wouldn't mind going out and fight

And there is Senator Park Tram

who is with wadsworth on the suf-
frage proposition though "agin"
him on everything else. He is tall
and athletic, and has the general

goes after-a man of unquestioned
"sticka ability."-the word is a IA
vorite of his own-who might be
useful IL he went after the Hun.
And there Is Charlie Benet, OF

Senator Tillman's term after that

ATTACK ON FUEL
ORDER IS RESUMED

WASHINGTON, D. c. Jan 49,
Attacks on the fuel order blazed forth
anew both in the senate and house to-
day, mingled in the senate with re-
sentiment that it's resolution had been
ignored. Senators described them
selves as being in a Estate of import
ant indignation Senator Smith, of
Michigan republican, said the Sen
ate should rise and clip the wings of
those who seek to exercise so much
authority, which had never been in
tended. In letter from Fuel Adj
ministrator Garfield to Senator Hoke
Smith, of Georgia, the stateemnt is
made that the ruling does not apply
to newspapers and other industries
operated entirely by hydro-electric
power.

FOOD AUTHORITIES
SOON TO TAKE OVER
GEORGIA FISHERIES

ATLANTA, Ca, Jan. 18.-The United
States food administration will shortly
take over the control of fisheries along
the Georgia coast, according to D. F.
MvClatchey, of this city, who is exec
utive secretary of the food administra-
ton in this state, and the result viii
very probably be to secure a material
reduction in the price of fish and oy-
sters.
1t develops that an act passed by
the Georgia legislature excluding all
non-residents of the state from fishing
along the coast, has smut out large
number of migratory fishermen who
used to drift up and down with the
seasons, leaving only fourteen fisher
men actually engaged in the industry
from the South Carolina line to the
Florida line, and these fourteen have
fixed their own wages and prices, dou-
bling the cost of sea foods. which for
merly were about the last cheap food
that the people could buy.
When the United States food admin
istration taeks over control of the
fisheries along the coast of Georgia,
and all other states having ocean
frontage, the Georgia coast will be
open to any fisherman having fed
eral license and the price of sea foods
will be fixed by the food administra-
ton.

PROF. HERON BoBs UP.

That is a peculiar story given to the
press connecting one Professor Heron,
of Geneva, Switzerland with an alleged
attempt Of Hertling to open negotia-
lions for peace with President Wilson.
The only Professor Heron suggested Is
Prof George D. Heron who acquired
much notoriety in connection with his
martial mixups in this state when he
held a professorship in an Iowa col
lege. Since then little has been heard
of that Professor Heron until the
scarehead story putting him into the
limelight as an alleged Intermediary
between Hertling and the president.
Professor Heron whoever this
Professor Heron may Bespoke the
mind Of America on the question OF
peace. We shall repudiate any such
offers AS that which another professor
IS related to have made to this Pro-
fessor Heron for Hertling. However to
the average person It Will appear
strange that the kaiser should seek out
the George D. Heron whom Iowa knew
so we'll. in fact too well, to make an
intermediary for peace proposition
when others actually representative OF
America and OF the highest repute and
with the highest respect in America
were neglected and equally strange
that Heron should bob up in Geneva
as notably influential in America
Moreover when the peace negotia-
lions are to be considered it is not at
all likely that they will be brought to
the attention OF the country by
George D. Heron or other expatriates
of similar standing in America Neither,
let us confidently hope. will peace
terms be concluded thru the counsel OF
the Herons but ny statesmen holding
the confidence OF Americans.

ONE lob Al A lime.

Now the Walls of wrath have been
turned on Gutzon Borglum, the sculp-
tor, who acted as the personal agent Of
President Wilson in investigation of the
aircraft situation.
The story goes that Borglum while
acting as the presidential representa-
tive attempted to feather his own nest
by negotiating for the formation of an
aircraft corpora ton in which he was to
be a silent partner, etc, etc.
Now Borglum may be guilty as
charged in the comeback, but let's let
Borglum wait until his assertions are
fully inquired into as to their truth
or falsity. 1t is entirely reasonable to
conclude that Borglums report to the
president convinced him that Borglum

NICK REEDS DILEMMA.
[Winterset Madisonian.j


A rather interesting chapter involv-
ing a prominent federal office holder
in Iowa, has developed as the result
OF liquor prosecutions against certain
Ottumwa drug stores, in which
United States Marshal Nick Reed was
financially Interested. After the drug
stores had been closed Reed gave out
an interview, IN which he stated that
he only held about 80 per cent Of the
stock in the store, that he paid no
attention to the business but had CIV
en- all of his time to his official duties
since taking the office of United States
marshal. He further stated that At
torney General Havner was playing
politics, and had dragged his name
into the matter for the purpose Of
making political capital. Whereupon
Mr.. Havner published a statement IN
the Des Moines papers, that among
other evidence against the drug stores
in which Reed is financial partner
were the checks given in payment of
large quantities of liquor, signed by
