congress mas taken announcer step
toward stamping out revolutionary
violence in the United States.
The senate passed the Sterling Sc
dition bill containing authority sought
by Attorney General A. Mitchell Pal
mer in his campaign against both citi-
zen and alien radicals. The bill now
goes to the house. Should it meet
approval there and at the White
House, authorities say they will be
armed for the final, stage Of the CAM
paign against bolshevism in America.
There was no roll call on the meas
ure and only one voice was heard
when the nays were asked for. SEN
ator w. E. Borah led the opposition
to the bill.
As it t~passed the senate the bill inn
poses penalty Of $4,000 fine, five
years imprisonment, or both, for the
publication or utterance Of anything
advocating the overthrow by force or
violence Of the United States govern
ment, or all government; makes Sc
ditious matter nonmailable and gives
the postmaster general specific au-
thority to suspend mail privileges Of
any author or publisher attempting
to send such material, and prohibits
the display Of any flag symbolizing
the advocacy Of the overthrow Of gov
ernment.
An amendment by Senator Borah
providing for court hearing in cases
where the postmaster general bars
matter from the mails was adopted.
During the pendency of such hearings
the court is authorized to suspend the
postmaster generals orders barring
publications from the mails.
The effect Of the senate's debate
and action was to clear up the, here
tofore hazy line between revolution
and reform. They. decided the bomb
must be exterminated, but that the
ballot, must be safeguarded. Repeat
edly during debate senators declared
the only way the government can sur
vive is by protecting the ballot.
The decision that orderly progress
must not be interfered with came
when the senate rejected the Nickel
lar amendment to include agitation
for overthrow of government by
peaceful ends.
II believe the amendment would
not be constitutional" said Senator
Walsh, Montana, democrat, "and if
there is anything we pride ourselves
in, it is that we can advocate changes
in our form Of government"
Mcclellan declared nothing in his
amendment would prevent peaceable
reforms or changes in the form Of
government.
Senator Borah declared that to de-
ny the right to use the ballot for eff
fecting reforms invites violence.
"The best way to meet socialism is
to prove that this government can
solve its problems without trampling
the constitution underfoot." Borah
said.

RIGID ECONOMY TO
BE WATCHWORD
OF CONGRESS

WASHINGTON, March 20.-With
the peace treaty disposed of, con-
gress today began clearing decks for
the national campaign which soon
will be in full swing. Leaders in
both houses plan to speed action on
the remaining domestic measures in
the next two months so politics can
have the right of way, from the time
the national conventions meet.
Republican leaders will insist on
jamming through the ten or more
regular appropriation bills and the
other important measures. Among
the latter are the waterpower bill,
the army reorganization bill, the bud
get measure, and several tariff bills
to protect the dyestuffs, chemical
glassware and magnesite industries
No general revision of taxes is ex-
pected. Rigid economy will be the
majority's watchword from now on
leaders say. Appropriation bills will
be cut to the bone. This Is expected
to prevent action on the question OF
soldier bonuses. Secretary Houston
already has dispe1led any prospects
of lowering income taxes.

LEWISTON WOMAN IS
NOW WELL AND HAPPY
Mrs. Alice McCluskey Says
She Wishes She Had
Heard Of Tanlac TWEEN
ty Years Ago-Would
Have Saved Her Lots
Of Suffering.

81 have been trying for twenty
long years to find a medicine that
would overcome my troubles, but my
efforts failed me completely until
commenced taking Tanlac," was the
remarkable statement made recently
by Mrs. Alice McCluskey, residing at
No. Sc Park Street, Lewiston, Me, a
well-known and most highly respect
ed woman Of that city.
IT just feel like I would give the
world to meet everyone who suffers
as I did and tell them about this
medicine. If I could only have got
ten Tanlac twenty years ago it would
have saved me a lot of suffering and
money.
My principal trouble was indi-
gestion, and for many years l could
not eat meat or pastries for I would
always suffer afterward. I would
most always have distressed feel
ing after eating and nothing seemed
to agree with me. Then, to add to
the rest of my suffering, 1 contract
ed rheumatism in my shoulders and
hips and the awful pains I suffered
can never be told in words. This
trouble finally got SO bad I could
hardly walk and my arms panied me
so 1 could scarcely raise my hands
to my head. I even had to give up
my Homework and was hardly able
to get around at all.
you can imagine how happy I
was when, after taking only a few
bottles of Tanlac, found such a
wonderful Improvement in my con-
dition! Why it was just the medi-

MRS. INNES WILL
BE REARRESTED
ON HER RELEASE.

Mrs. Ida Mae Times, who. with her
husband, Victor E. Times, has been
a prisoner at the state penitentiary
after conviction on charge of lar
ceny after trust in connection with
the disappearance of the helms sis
ters, will be released from state
custody on Tuesday. She will be i'm
mediately rearrested, however, by
federal agents and brought to At
lanta to stand trial under an indict-
ment charging her with use of the
United States mails to defraud.
Mrs. Innes was sentenced to serve
three years and her husband ten,
but five months have been taken
off her sentence for good behavior
in prison. Victor Innes is now a
member of the convict gang in De-
Kalb county.
The federal indictment charges that
Mrs. Times and her husband used
the mails to defraud Mrs. Eloise
helms Dennis and her sister, Miss
Beatrice helms, out of several thou
sand dollars. 1t is alleged that the
Innes, couple wrote letters to the
helms sisters promising to make in
vestments with funds to be provided
by the Ne1ms sisters, in return for
which $4,000 would be "ortcoming
for every $1,000 invested. The in
dietment, which was returned in 1915,
carries copies of letters alleged to
have been written to the helms sis
terS. ',.a n,n.~ -'.% - o.
Victor Innes and his wife were first
charged with ri, the = murder of, the
helms sisters in one of the mosr
sensational cases in the history of
American courts. Under the laws of
Texas. where the Nelms sisters dis
appeared mysteriously, it is neces-
sary to prove the corpus deficit, or
in other words. to prove the victim
is dead, before conviction can be Sc
cured 1t was impossible to pro-
duce the bodies of the helms sisters
and tl'e murder charge was dropped.
Subsequently, however, the Times
CO lple stood trial in Fulton county
for larceny after trust and were con-
victed of having m1sapplied funds
belonging to the missing sisters.

NEW YORK, March 20.-Women
appear to favor political capital pun
ishment for political offenders.
Two speakers, addressing the COM
mittee of one thousand Democratic
women here late today, declared that
if male officeholders violate their
,pre-election promises, eve ought to
hang 'en1-at the polls" The mem
bers Endorsed this sentiment by vo-
ciferous applause.
Talk of political 1ynching began
when Mrs. John Sherwin Crosby,
chairman, referred to. defeat Of the
peace treaty by the senate as "a
disgrace"
eff we women had gone down to
Washington and said do this and

"Ordinarily, am not in favor of
capital punishment, but in the case
of public servants who wilfully dis
regard the desires and welfare OF the
people I believe they should be

Later, Mrs. Anna M. Cross, secre-
tary, took occasion to berate office
holders who failed to work for their

FOUR STEPS OPEN
To PRESIDENT ON
TREATY PROCEDURE

WASHINGTON, March 20.-Presi-
dent Wilson's next step as the re-
suit of the senate's rejection Of the
treaty of Versailles will be to nego-
tiate temporary agreements with the
allies and Germany to protect Amer
lean interests and allow virtual re-
turn to peace, it was believed to-
night, pending a decision by the peo-
pie on the League of Nations in the
November elections.
Four steps that the president can
now take were outlined as follows:
One-He can send the rejected
treaty back to the allies, with the
declaration that the United States
cannot now reach an agreement on it.
Two-He can let the state of war
continue while the question of rati-
ecation goes into the campaign.
Three-He can negotiate a sep.
arate peace with Germany, either
sending another peace delegation to
Europe, or accepting the Knox reso-
luton for declaration of peace,
should that measure be passed by
congress.
Four-He can negotiate temporary
agreements-or a modus vivendi--
with the allies and Germany TO
bridge the period from now until the
treaty is voted on by the people.
Of the four courses outlined, It
was believed that the last would be
the one decided on by the president.
The first course is not expected
to be favored in view of the posi-
ton Mr.. Wilson has taken that the
naon1a Of tho TTnita6 Wa n +
the treaty. 1t is not believed he will
adopt the second course, as this
would leave the country in the half
way position between peace and war.
The third course, to negotiate a
separate treaty of peace with Ger
many, the president has frequently
denounced.
A satisfactory modus vivendi ne
gotiated between the United States
and the allies and Germany would
allow a return to virtually normal
conditions and would protect Amer
lean rights under the treaty of Yer
sailles, should the United States
later agree to the pact, it was
pointed out.
Under such temporary arrange
ments, it was believed, diplomatic re-
lations could be resumed between the
United States and Germany for tenn
porary expediency. Travel probably
would be permitted between the two
countries, whereas at present the
United States does not admit any
Germans except in isolated cases
where their presence is in connection
with urgent business needs and would
be beneficial to this country, and the
state department does not issue pass
ports to Americans to go to Germany
Passports are issued, however, for
surrounding countries with the I'M
Outstanding that the Americans can
go into Germany at their own risk
A more normal economic condition
also would be effected, it was said
At present there is some trade be-
tween this country and Germany. But
the large quantities of food and raw
materials greatly needed by Germany
can only be obtained in this country,
it was pointed out, and capital will
not extend credit for such purchases
under the existing uncertain rela-
tions.
The United States could safeguard
it's interests, such as rights in the
German ships now held with gen
tlemen's agreement" with the allies,
until it had been decided whether
this country would adopt the Ver-
sailleS treaty.

Alleged Leader Of
Burglar Gang L;
so, Arrested <; tie in Macon

MACON, Ga, March 20.-The al
legged leader of the band of burglars
that stole thousands of dollars worth
of groceries from wholesale houses
here recently, was arrested Saturday.
He made a full confession, officers
say. He is Will Clyde, negro, who
recently completed a twelve months
term on the changing for stealing
an automobile. Clyde said, accord
ing to officers, that he was assisted
by another negro, but he refused to
give his name.
Part of the stolen goods was re-
covered, but he declined to tell how
he disposed of the others. A but
ton from a coat found in a stolen
automobile led to the arrest Of Clyde
by detectives. He admitted, 1t is
said, the car was used to haul the
loot away. The detectives declined
to say where they found the stolen
goods other than they were not In

make fancied escape by some such
rat-hole. But no rule committee can
make any rule, it matters not when
made, which usurps all authority not
delegated. The servant is not above
the master. Can any agent make a
rule depriVing his principals of the
right to direct their own business?
The committee members seem to be
all active supporters of Mr.. Palmer
and their course is simply a fraudu-
lent abuse of their position to pro-
mote the interests of their special
candidate.
The end should never be sacrificed
to the means. The very object and
purpose and aim of the Democratic
party is to preserve government by
the people. But We can make such
fetish of mere party machinery as
to destroy the very principle the
party is organized to promote.
Shall we kill the horse to save the
saddle? Just think of it! This
country and it's institutions belong to
the people. Yet under our present
political methods, while the people
by their votes must elect a president,
how little voice have they in deciding
for whom they shall vote!
This question in which they and
their children and children's children
are so vitality concerned is taken out
of their hands and the party pro-
cedure arranged with such diabolical
ingenuity, that it is left to be at
last entirely controlled by a few de-
signing politicians, and the balance
of us forced to vote, if we vote at all
for some one we have had no part in
selecting.
Is this democracy? Or is it in
ferna1 trickery?
Petitions have been individually cir
culated in Gainesville and surround
ing country simply requesting Palmer
to speak here. There is no objection
to this. They were signed as mat
ter of courtesy. But a dishonest use
of this fact was made by trying to
make it appear that the Hoover
movement had subsidized. On the con-
trary, every man on the original petit
tion,. who was seen, except two or
three, signed the second statement
published in The Journal Friday. Two
or three, I recall, declined to sign,
on the ground that Hoover did not
declare himself a partisan Democrat
Some are deceived by that view. But
there is positively no Palmer senti-
ment in Gainesville.
