I,les New appointment to Office
Which Is Already Filled

Tallahassee, July 30. A hitch has
apparently developed in another OF
|hs governors appointments. Re
|xntly, as heretofore published, the
Governor appointed W. W. White as
|hstce Of the peace for the Eighth
|ktrict of Leon county, the district
|lhiCh includes Tallahassee. In the
|EpOntment it is stated that the ap-
|Nntment is made to succeed j. Z
Barnett who has moved out Of the
Bounty and state.
When Mr.. White presented his bond
|ad oath to the secretary OF state ano
|Eked for commission, that otticlai
|nade an investigation of his RECORDS
|ni found that Barnett was the duly
commissioned officer. He then IN
pired as to whether or not there was
|auything either in his Office or in the
once Of the governor to show tha'
Barnett had in fact removed and up
% being answered III the negative Ut
asked that the matter be held in ape!
ince until the return of the Governor
who left Sunday for West Florida.
The opinion is advanced that be
lore there can be an appointment IN
GcVernor must remove Mr.. Barne'
N view of the fact that there is notn
hs to show officially that he has re
acVed from the state until such orde
i made.
It's known as a matter of fact her
that Mr.. Barnett is temporarily oU
vest for his health, and that one [
Us friends last week had letter froi
in in which he stated that ne "d
rOving much better physically an
apected to return home wltnih

Whether or not Sthe Governor WI

DOCTORS SEE NEW DEVICE
Instrument for Treating Gall Bladder
Diseases Demonstrated

Chicago. July 14.-(By A. PA
painless method Of treating diseases of
the gall bladder, which it was claimed
would eliminate surgical operations in
more than 80 per cent of such cases.
has been perfected by DIR. Frank
Smithies. associate professor of medi-
cine in the University of Illinois. This
announcement was made Yesterday at
the Augustana Hospital clinic, where
Doctor Smithies demonstrated his
method to physicians and surgeons.
Doctor Smithies's device consists
mainly of a small, egg shaped perforated
ball. about one quarter of an inch in
diameter and one half inch long and
fifty four inches Of rubber tubing about
the size of lead pencil. The ball is
easily swallowed by patients, and the
contents of the gall duets are painlessly
drawn through the tube by suction.
Doctor Smithies said that in many
cases in which the new process has been
used "sand," and even small gall stones,
had been removed. After the silver
ball has sheen swallowed and correctly
placed by the aid Of X-rays a solution
is poured down the tube, causing a re-
taxation of the gall duet.

proyided under which proposed
amendment should be submitted to the
voters Of the states just as the amend
ments 30 the state constitutions are
submitted.
In view Of the frequency Of amend
ments and their nature, more serious
attention is likely to be given to the
method of changing the constitution
than has seemed necessary in the past.
There was time when IL was be-
lieved that ii was practically impossible
to change the constitution, There
were nd changes from 1904 until 1865.
II was thirty FIVE years later that the
income tax amendment was submitted.
Then in 1913 the popular election Of
senator's was provided for, and within
the Inst year or two we lave made pro
hibition constitutional and are about to
grant the vote to women.
No one knows what radical change
will next be proposed or to what extent
it will upset the established customs of
the government or of the people. But
those interested in the rule Of the ma e
jority. which is the essence Of the
American system. will be the last TO
condemn either Governor Clement, of
Vermont. or Governor Holcomb. Of
Connecticut, for their attitude. not on
woman suffrage, but on the rights of
the people of their states to have their
say before their Legislatures consent to
any changes in the federal constitution
which change the established laws Of
their commonwealths.

militaristic tendency and an ambition
to carry policy Of aggressive expan :
sion into Siberia. The movement for
the vote was inspired to large extent
BY the younger men who have been edu :
Gated In the United States and England.
It involved the students in the schools
and finally the masses Of the working
people. When the japanese Diet voted
the proposition down yesterday the
whole nation was alert and on the verge
of turmoil.
United with the desire for the vote
was popular resentment against a gov ..
ernmental policy which has inflicted
extraordinary burdens Of taxation on
the people to. sustain an enormously
expanded military program. IL the cx-
perience of older governments means
anything, the refusal of the japanese
Diet to grant demands made in the
name of the general population will
only increase the general unrest and
strengthen the resolution of the men
who have been speaking for the people.
The party now governing in Japan
may be Prussian at heart. But 1t is
not by any means sure OF its own
safety. That ought to mean much in
a country that is being told that its
next war will be with the japanese.

cox AND WILSON

CTUDENTS of national politics and
~ those who have money to bet in
November would give a great deal for
the privilege Of sitting on the famous
south porch of the White House during
the conference which Mr.. Cox is to
have with President Wilson.
A rift, and a rather wide one. still
exists between the Wilson Democrats
and the Democrats who view Mr. Cox
as the ideal of their dreams. What
will the President say TO the candidate
made by Tammany: BY what formula
will he lift the curse, or will he lift it
at all? Mr.. Wilson's hatred for rnu
nicipal and state bosses Of the sort who
pushed Mr.. Cox to victory is endless
and seemingly incurable. 1t has been
the root of most of his troubles in
Washington and the origin Of bitter
enmities that the country does not yet
fully understand.
Mr.. Wilson has a reputation for con
sistency. Will it survive the present
strain?

COURT OF APPEALS
FOR TAXES URGED
Revision of War Revenue Acts
Proposed at Convention Of
Kentucky Bar ,
BY the Associated Press

Henderson, KY, July IA circuit
court of appeals for taxes should be
established TO meet needs for prompt
judicial determination Of the validity
and effect Of tax regulations of the De-
partment of Internal Revenue. Robert
NJ. Miller. former solicitor Of internal
revenue, declared in an address at the
annual meeting of the Kentucky State
Bar Association here today.
Revision of federal war revenue acts
is needed to remove impositions on the
taxpayers of unreasonable burdens. Mr..
Miller said. .a. -.
Beginning with the things which
must be done, two propositions are
clear" he added. "They are that re-
troactive tax legislation. however neces
sary in the war emergency, must utterly
be abandoned. and that the tax burden
must be distributed more cquitably to
remove unfair stress on particular
groups.
Voters may enjoy passing a law
which appears to subject a particular
group of successful corporations to a
heavy tax, but in the long run, since
taxes must be figured in the selling
price of the goods or services. just as
any other element in the, selling price
is figured, voters are still taxing them
selves.
Even an excise tax on stock divi'
dcnds. so popular a subject of discus
sion with those who do not expect 70
receive any, would be shifted, finally and
at length through operation of neces'
sary economic laws, back to the con-
suming public"
He urged that steps be taken to re-,
place the excess profits tax by a fiat
corporation tax not involving calcula :
ton of invested capital; impose a mod
crate individual income tax; provide Tor
final settlements between the govern :
ment and taxpayers which shall be
binding on both parties; give taxpayer,
the privilege of distributing accumulated
gains over the several years to which
they are properly allocable; clear unccr'
tainties as to 'personal service cor
porations" provide relief to taxpayers
suffering net losses in taxable years, 50
they may deduct them from subsequent
years profits until the losses are ei'
hausted.

GIVE A THOUGHT TO FRANCE

TWO years ago Bastille Day in this
l. city was accorded something like
official recognition.
THE sea seems very narrow TODAY, -
declared President Wilson on that date
IN a message to President Poincare,
France is so close a neighbOr to our
hearts. Popular sentiment was ac-
curatcly gauged in that observation.
Hundreds of French flags were flown
IN Philadelphia alone The anniversary
of one Of the most fateful blows ever
given to oppression took on a deep. ex e.
tended significance.
The tremendous events which have
happened since July II, 1918, alter not
jot the symbolic meaning Of the fail
of the infamous Bastille. Since no
special observances of the date are
planned for this city today, aside from
the celebrations by French societies, a
generous display OF the tricolor is AZ
least in order. 1t will not be an equiv
alent return for the splendid homage
paid to our Independence Day lately
In Paris. 1t is not easy to rise to the
heights of French tact and taste. Bur
certainly all thoughts which are turned
toward France and her struggle for
freedom will be profoundly warranted
No obstacles to durable peace, no
pitfalls Of error into which groping
mankind stumbles, can obscure the fact
that the two greatest republics Of the
world have striven for more than a
century and still strive for virtually
identical ideals of liberty and progress.

THE LID

THE lid upon which Director Cor
i telyou promised yesterday to sit
tight hides strange things, as any one
knows who ever had au opportunity to
glance behind the scenes in the police
department or below the sQuaIid sur
faces Of ward politics as it existed under
the old regime.
Narcotic drugs rot the mind away
and send men headlong on a road that
leads straight to insane asylums, Jalls
and the electric chair. The drug habit
Is acquired No one is born with it.
\ Victims are enmeshed and trained for
the profit of infamous men higher up,
Who get rich By the death and degra =

of the city. And in that peculiar cam
pnign they have been helped by cit.

RELIEF WORK TO GO ON
Americans In Poland Instructed te
Remain at Their Posts

Palo Alto. Calf. July 14.-(By A.
P.)-Herbert c. Hoover has cabled
Americans in charge Of the relief ad
ministration and the anti-typhus cam
paign to remain at their posts in all
those parts of Poland which the Bolshe
wiki may invade.
The first of these administrations Is
feeding 200, 900 children and caring
for the refugees fleeing before the Boil
shevik armies, The second is carrying
out the campaign against typhus il
East Poland.
Mr.. Hoover stated today that these
two associations have millions of dol
lars worth of property in Poland and
that he did not believe the Bolshcvik
would do bodily harm to the Americans
engaged in this work. He said they
might be able to save this property fol
the benefit of the destitute and sick il
they remained at their posts.
Approximately $50 Americans are en-
gagged in the relief and typhus admin
istrations.
