MANY LIVES ARE
LOST IN TORNADO
Thirty-Six Victims in Georgia and
Alabama-Bad Day il La
Grange-Property Loss Runs
Up Into Millions of
Dollars

Atlanta, March 2S.-At least Sc
lives were lost, hundred of persons
were injured and property damaged
probably running Into millions of dol
lars. was caused by tornadoes that
swept through Georgia and Alabama
late today. La Grange, and West
Point, Georgia towns near the Ala
bama-Georgia border, suffered the
heaviest, the estimated dead at La
Grange running to SO, Fl bodies
were known to have been found.
West Point, which lost heavily last
December from the flooded Chatta-
hoochee, reported ten dead and
severe damages in the business Sec
ton.
The tornado also was felt in Macon
where property damage ran high and
some persons were injured. Washing
ton, Ca, town near Augusta, also
felt the effects of storm, but ap-
parently no lives were lost. Some
damage also was thought to have
been caused in eastern Alabama.
Wire service, both telegraph and
telephone, was partially paralyzed
and it was almost impossible to as
certain exact damage or to get re-
ports from many sections of the
state that have felt the effects of the
storm. Heavy rains fell throughout a
great portion of Georgia during the
day and it was feared flooded rivers
might add to the suffering.
The Red Cross here was preparing
tonight to rush supplies to La Grange
by army motor trucks as the Atlanta
and West Point railroad reported it
could not dispatch a relief train be-
cause it's wires were down. Its pas
senger train, New Orleans to Wash
ington, No. SO, was not located late
tonight.
Army engineers were preparing to
60 to West Point to rebuild a pom
toon bridge they threw across the
Chattahoochee river last December
when floods and inundated the town
caused $7,OoO,OOO property damage.
Most of the damage in West Point
was said to be in the business section
and its effects on merchants and 9TH
er business men just struggling from
the heavy losses of last December
were expected to be almost i'm
possible for them to bear. Half doz-
en- structures were said to be severe
ly damaged.

POLITICAL GOSSIP
LIVELY IN CAPITAL
interesting Events in Washington
Republican Candidates Knock
Each Other. C. o. P. Election
Chances Not as Good as
Several Months Ago

Washington, March 28.-There
are two features in connection with
he past weeks political events in the
national capital which stand well to
the front. One of these is that Re-
publican leaders are not nearly so
cock-sure as they appeared short
! time ago to be about great G. o. P.
victory this fall. When the Republi-
can race narrowed down to Lowden,
Harding and Wood the friends of
each of these three candidates went
to work to wreck the chances of the
others to such an abnormal extent
that they have not only succeeded in
damaging the candidates they were
fighting, but have also considerably
impaired the chances of Republi-
can victory this fall.
Hammers Out
Lowden men were knocking Wood;
Wood men were knocking Lowden;
Harding men were knocking both of
the other candidates. All were doing
their best to kill sthe others chances
for going into the White House.
They knocked each other around un-
til there arose the question OF the
fabulous amounts of money Wood
and Lowden were causing to be spent
on their campaigns, then some of the
wise men in the Democratic head
quarters thought a while and decided
hat it might be a good idea to let
hese candidates know that there are
ertain limitations upon the amounts
! f coin which should be used in such
matters.
It is doubtful if any campaign
since in the days when Mark Hanna
rolled his barrels Of gold out for the
voters, has so much money been ex-
pended by friends of the different
Republican candidates as in the pre-
sent instance. Without figures and
specific data, it would be neither
right nor proper to indicate just how
much of the coin has been passed
over to help the game along, but it
would probably not be going far
wrong to say, that according to best
information Washington newspaper
men here get these amounts have al
ready approached the million dollar
mark.
Lowden and Harding and Wood
have been fighting each other so
stubbornly and persistently that this
feature of the 1920 campaign is're-
acting with good effect upon the
Democratic party.

We haven't had so many for
eign visitors of late owing to
war conditions but Henry Arthur
Jones, an Englishman, is over
just now and he is giving us his
idea on things in general and
America in particular. 1t will
do no harm. to consider what he
says for there may be some
truth mixed up in his opinions.
He has the hammer out for. the
present system of popular edu-
cation, which he says fosters
confusion and fallacies of polit-
ical thought and encourages
social disorder" and which he
holds responsible for other evils
from bad carpentering and print
ING to the decline of the drama.
Of course we all have to have a
goat and education seems to be
his but there is truth in his say
ing that $50 of the people have
to earn their living by manual
work and that we have educated
this $50 in such a way that they
avoid manual labor as much as
possible until now it is almost
impossible to get carpentering or
other trade work done satisfac-
torily. He maintains that our
education ought to teach boys
and girls to do whatever they do
honestly and we'll going on TO
say 1T is not a question of cap
ital and labor. 1t is question
of honesty or dishonesty of
workmanship in each particular
calling, The first duty of popular
education is to teach that all
careless, scamped and dishonest
work is a crime against the
state"
Article ten is up again and
this time it keeps the Balkan
states out of the League. When
Esthonia, Lithuania. and Letvla
were seeking admission last
week, Mr. Vivian, of France, de-
clared Il join all those who ex-
press sympathy with, or hope
for, the Baltic states, but there
is a grave question involved.
There is an article in the cove
nant which has made some noise
in the world-Article 10-which
requires the members of the
league to go to the aid of a fell
low member of the league who
is attacked. Now, who will be
ready to go to aid in defence Of
those Baltic states ? Let those
who vote to admit them first
make sure their governments
are ready to send troops to de-
fend them" And the roll call
rejected them by twenty-seven
votes. And this is what the
opponents to the treaty have
been contending all along but
Mr. President Wilson assured the
country that Article 10 was as
harmless as a May morning. We
are getting more and more light
on the subject as the council
meetings progress.
Defeated legislators are very
likely to be found in Washington
as lobbyists for this or that in
terest. They are very valuable
as they know all the avenues Of
approach and are persona grata
to per cent of the present
members. This does not mean
that they are all grafters for
often they may be found rep
resenting interests who have a
legitimate right to the egis-
lation asked. But Miss jean
nette Rankin, a former member
of Congress from Montana, has
started something new in the
line. She. will remain in Wash
ington and lobby for the public
as she has accepted a position
with the National Consumers
League. She will use her knowl-
edge and expend her time urg-
ing through Congress its merit
