REPUBLICAN HARMONY
I: NOW REIeNS SUPREME
Differences IrOned Out In Both Houses
and Senate and Congress
Gets TO Work.

Washington-With all differences
ironed out and perfect harmony reign
ing In both the House and Senate, the
Republicans of the 66th Congress have
perfected their program and gotten
down to business with celebrity and
efficiency which has stupefeld their
opponents, who had counted on Re-
publican dissention as their chief hope
of future party success.
After more than twenty-five years
of service In the Senate, having been
elected the last time by the people Of
Pennsylvania by majority Of 100000
votes, Senator Penrose, regarded as
the ablest authority on custom duties
and taxation in either House, was
chosen chairman of the Finance Com
mittee, which will frame the new rev.
enue and tariff laws during Republi-
can control. Senator Borah, Of Idaho,
deferred to the great majority of his
| colleagues when he said that 1--WE
have nothing against Senator Penrose
personally, but have differed with him
as to certain methods and theories of
taxation. The people very definitely
stated at the polls last November that
they wanted the Democratic party
turned out of power, we mean to see
that their mandate is obeyed." Sen
ator Gronna, another Progressive,
pointed out that in his opinion it made
no difference as to any theories the
new chairman might have and that he
voted for Penrose in the interest of
better legislation.
Senator Cummins, of Iowa, long
classed as Progressive. was made
president pro tenn of the Senate, and
1.-THE entire list of chairmanships was
lmade up according to the rule of SEN
iority long followed by the Demo-
crats, which is the rule which has
been found to bring about the greatest
amount of efficiency.
| In the House no difficulty has beer
found in maintaining the best goot
feeling among Republican members
lFactionalism, which was the natura
momentary result of brisk contes
for Speaker, has disappeared entire

tive Longworth, of Ohio, that tn
membership of the Steering Commit
tee should be increased from five t
nine members in order to include
representative 70 the South, one G
labor, and two of the Western agri
cultural action, has been agreed to b
all those interested. The committee
started their work of Congress, an
two days later the first Republica
House in eight years passed the We
man suffrage amendment to the COZ
stitution and began the passing of al
preparation bills delayed by the Pres
ident's refusal to call Congress in e!

FILIPINO PROVERBS


(By Jorge Bocobo, Member of Philip
pine Mission, and Dean, College OF
Law. University of the Philippines.)
Washington.-The longing OF the
Filipino people for independence is
nourished by very deep and earnest
desire to develop their own individu-
atty as nation. When the Spaniards
came, the Filipinos already had cul-
ture of their own. Almost every Fill
pima could read and write. Although
Spanish civilization has greatly In
fluenced the Filipines, and although
the young generation is being edu-
Gated in American ideas, yet Filipino
culture remains at bottom indigenous.
It is the unfolding of this soul of the
Filipino race that justifies the long
standing fight of my people for free
dom.
Indicative of the existence of Fill
pino national genius are the purely
Filipino songs, legends and proverbs
which have been handed down by
word of mouth from generation tc
generation. I have picked the follow
ing Filipino proverbs at random from
nv collection of several hundred
which we're all obtained from actua
conversation with Filipinos, mostl!
old men. have translated them from
the Philippine languages as closely as
possible, thus preserving not only the
sense but also the mode OF express
sion. Lord Bacon said: "The genius
wit, and spirit Of a ration are discoV'
cred in its proverbs" knowledge o.
Filipino proverbs therefore gives al
insight into the psychology of the
Filipino race.
Bravery. A hero is brave for hi'
wounds. 2. 1t is too late to withdraw
when you are already wounded.
This is what you wished, my heart, 81
be brave.
Caution-1. A fish is caught by thu
mouth. 2. Repentance never come
first 8. Courage is of two sorts; on
goes forward, the other restires.
Haste creates delay.
Character. Whichever side tire
leans, there It falls. g. IT'S easy t
be born, It's hard to be man. g. h
who is raised in ease is usually desti
tute.
Choice-He who is-hard to suit vii
2 choose the worst.
Compensation, Law of - l. IN
mushroom always grows with cour
terpart. 2. You laugh today. laug
tomorrow.
Counsel. He who despises cour
sci is on the way to misfortunt.
Whoever believes everything said hs
no mind OF his own.
Disdain-1. You may dislike, d.
never despise.
Fault-Finding-The fault-finder hi
the biggest faults.
Fools. A wise mans joke IS D
lieved by fool 2. Fools earn for U
wise. 3. 1t Is foolish to argue with
fool.
Foresight - /. Strength yields

working hard.
Forgetfulness-He who Is happy
forestful.

he falls down on his cotton. The
farmer who gets big grain crop,
ccrn, peas, cane and potatoes, will do
wen, no matter whether his cotton
fails or not. A larger number of our
farmers are safe now on this kind of
program than most people think.
II is not necessary to quit. The
man who thinks it isn't worth while
to try If he cannot make cotton, ought
to go at something else. He will
never do anything but lose money on
the farm. But the man who learns
how to raise hogs as he has learned to
grow cotton. will succeed. The man
who expends as much on his peanut
crop as he does on his cotton, will not
lose money. There is no better money
crop than sugar cane. The farmer can
make a world of either with half an
effort.

complain when he makes nothing.
This is no time to quit. We have
lost nothing by the hard hit cotton
crop. 1t is the best lesson this sec
ton has ever learned. 1t will do more
good than thousands of experts could
do preaching and preaching for diver
sification. Careful effort and business

methods being shown are good; the
average farmer will make no mistake
in adopting that one which appeals
to his own common sense as being
the most workable for his farm. And
any method now used will return
prodfgious profit on the time and
money invested in it.
The farmers of the southern part
Of the state have always known the

been the stump left by the timber

if il will work, take it on at once.
Which is the reason why such great
crowds are attending the demonstra-
lions and, being convinced, are go
ing back home to start an era of
stump elimination that will in ten
years bring South Georgia up to an
average of field CLEAVAGE equal to
that of any state in the Southland

Says the Macon Telegraph:
The stumptpulling caravanserie

blooms and blows in all his pristine
glory, is almost like circus day in
the counties where it pitches its
tents and puts on the big show.
From ten counties they came flock

ties the saw just how the pine stump

small cost and great speed.

one-half that OF meat. In other words,
two pounds of sweet potatoes, retail
ing at 10 cents, will afford as much
nourishment as one pound of meat
costing from 30 cents to 40 cents or
more.
In larger quantities sweet potatoes
will, not doubt, retail still lower; but
but the figures serve, well for pur-
poses Of illustration.
Nourishment derived from sweet pc.
tatoes, therefore, costs from one third
to one-fourth of that derived from
meat, or, perhaps, even less. Similar
comparison might be made with 9th
er foods; the sweet potato, for ex-
ample, is one third richer in food
value than the Irish potato. 1t is per-
Laps the richest of all the vegetables.

NO QUITTING TIME.

Some years ago the experts who
came here telling the cotton growers
that they would meet their "off year"
They said there would be a season
when the cotton grower would believe
he could grow cotton in spite of the
weevil, and he would undertake it in
the old way,-and get left. Our cot
ton growers tried it this year in the
old way. They sacrificed their peanut
acreage to cotton. believing that they
would get along well. They have miss
ed il in yield and, of course feel blue
about it.
But this is no time TO quit 1t may
be time to take an accounting and
change the program Old time cotton
crops cannot be made here for many
seasons to come. Our good farmers
had learned to make cotton No where
in the would could they be beaten.
Now they must slacken the pace and
turn to food crops and diversified
crops. That must be done. Some of
them must seek other means The
one crop idea.-if it be cotton, will
ruin any farmer in this section.

and grow big fat hogs, will be safe if
