THE MORNING AIR.
It's Attractive and Refreshing Qualities
May Be Because of the Dew

Everyone recognizes the sweetness and
freshness OF the early morning air and
knows that these attractive properties dis
appear as the day advances. But so far
as analysis goes the composition of early
morning air Is not different from that of
air at any other time.
During the passing of night TO day and
of day to night several physical changes
occur, There is fall III temperature at
sunset and a rise again at dawn, and con-
sequently moisture is alternately being
thrown out and taken up again, and it
is well known that change of state is ae-
companied by electrical phenomena and
certain chemical manifestations also. The
formation OF dew has probably therefore
far more profound effects than merely
k4hea raoistening ~ objects with water
Dew is vitalizing, not entirely because II
is water but it possesses an invigorating
action due partly at any rate to the fact
that it is saturated with oxygen, and II
has been stated that during its formation
peroxide of hydrogen and some ozone are
developed 1t is not improbable that the
peculiarly attractive and refreshing quail

! It's origin in this way. The difficulty OF

I iii full leaf is well known and is generally
| explained by saying that the tree absorb'
the nourishing constituents of the soil OF
that it keeps the sunlight away from tht
grass and protects it from rain. 1t i
doubtful whether any of these explan7
tons. is true. the real reason most pro
baby being that the vitalizing dew cannot
form upon the grass under tree, where
as as a rule both rain and light can feaci

ATLANTA, Sept. s.-Consolidated re-
ports from all sections of the state re-
ceived here tonight show that Georgia
has little sympathy for the League Of
Nations.
Hugh Dorsey, running on a Cox plat
form, unfolding the record Of Presi-
dent Wilson, and one of the most
popular men of the state, has been de-
feated for the Senate by Thomas E.
Watson, while Senator Hoke Smith,
who opposed the league and still de-
Tended the Administration, is COM
pletely out of it, probably bad third.
In the race for the 'Governorship
Thomas Hardwick, former Senator,
who was repudiated during the war
and forced from Office, is in the lead,
with Clifford Walker, former Attorney
General and an Administration candi-
date, running close behind, with a Sec
ond race necessary to decide the re-
suit.
Watson's followers did not fare so
we'll. All his hackers who were run
ming for Office went down in defeat,
with the exception Of the Representa-
tive in the LIST District. Overstreet won.
but had hard time. There were con-
tests in eight districts, but every man
was reelected.
Would Hold President i'm U. S.
Here is what Watson says he will
try to do when he goes to the Senate
to succeed Smith:
III will do all in my power to pass
law compelling the President to remain
in this country during his term of of
fee, and to declare that his voluntary
abandonment ,of his country shall
amount in law to resignation of his of
fee.
"My earnest efforts will be directed
to raise the Liberty bonds to par by
making them legal tender in payment
of all debts, or by the issuance of
greenback money notes on those bonds
to the amount of their face value.
II will do my utmost to abolish the
franking privilege, so that all men,
high or low, rich or poor, will pay
the sar1e postage.
* will support most heartily bonus
bill for the soldiers and sailors which
will give them one years extra pay

they lost in the war
"Now that the Civil War is SO far in
the past, surely the pension question
should be nationalized.

be the impression Senator Harding
and Mrs. Harding made on the nearly
swo, hundred thousand people who got
a chance to see them on this Mime
sofa trip. 1t would sbe difficult to ex-
aggerate the eordiality with which
they were received in that Nonpartisan
League community. The crowds dis
played almost as much anxiety to see
Mrs. Harding as they did the Senator.
Mrs. Harding Makes Hit
Mrs. Harding made a great hit. She
proved herself to be an excellent cam
paigner.
At one Of the brief stops of the train
the Senator. was lying down when a
crowd gathered at the rear platform.
and in her efforts to apologize for his
failure to appear found herself making
little speech. The Senator came to
the door while she was talking and
listened, with an amused twinkle knit
ting his brows, until Mrs. Harding dis
covered his presence and told him to
| come out and talk, which he did.
Just how the Senator viewed the
! Minnesota trip was revealed in state
ment prepared by him before he re-
tired at St. Paul last night.
II have campaigned with every Re-
publican Presidential nominee since
Blaine, and I have never seen better
day." he said.
| Mr.. Daugherty declared that "in the
thirty years that have had an oppor-
/ tunity to observe political dem onstra-
tions, in no campaign, either state or
national, or at any stage Of any cam
! paign, have I observed such q remark
| able demonstration on the part of so
many people as the one given to Sena-
tor Harding by the people Of the Twin
Cities of Minnesota" Mr.. Daugherty
added:
7 "There is no doubt as to the result
| of this election, for there is no doubt
| that the American people are thinking
in safe and conservative way about
the real issues involved in this cam
paign."
Senator Harding's train, which left
St. Paul shortly after IL o'clock last
night, was due to reach Marion late to-
day.

Senator Harding was up early this
morning and before 8 o'clock had
made short speech from his private
car at GAINESVILLE, Wis.
