that the Chicago One Hundred Year

other Government beyond the
moral persuasion, or permit OF
this or any other Government be-
ing forced to do anything without
the approval of congress and the
Senate and the President OF the
United States according to the
Constitution of this country. The
Constitution provides for the dec
laration Of wars and all matter
pertaining thereto. No covenant
drafted by Woodrow Wilson and
amended by Hoke Smith can
change our Constitution. They
couldn't alter it if they wanted to
and it is senseless to talk about

American rights. The American
people did that for themselves be-
fore Hoke Smith or his republi-
can friends were born"
Hoke Smith went in and spoke to
the teachers Of Georgia at their ses-
5ion Friday in Macon. This is their
answer to that address,-one Of the
most eloquent that has been offered
since Hoke was a little boy.
We were entitled to policy Of un-
reserved, wholehearted party support
from IJoke Smith when the war was
going on. We did net get it in spite
Of our constant appeals to him through
his friends. We followed our leaders
during the war with money and sup
plies, while our soldier boys followed
their generals on the Marne, in the
Argonne, at St. Mihiel, and all along
a blazing battle front where the enemy
of our civilization was trying to push
the rest Of the world into the sea. But
Hoke was in Washington bushwhack-

NO REPUBLICAN WORRY

Harry Stllwell Edwards, repub-

Smith. Judging by IIoke's votes
in the Senate, Georgia will have
at least two republican candidates
in the race.-Dalton Citizen
You have heard on republican worr3
have you? But there is q diiterence
between the two. 1t may be well 10
keep it in mind Harry Edwards is
bold enough and plain enough to label
republican principles exactly what
they are lloke Smith threw himself
into the republican camp in the SEN
ate and worked all the way through
with every secret move he could make
to defeat the administration plans of
the democrats. He then came back
home and called it middle ground,
while he advised the democrats to
stand on party achievements. If the
democrats stand on party achiev-
ments. Hoke will be or the outside
running with Harry Edwards, the two
having the same purpose in mind-to
defeat the democratic party. Nothing
in that to cause republican worry,
seems To us.

BLIND CAN SEE WITH SKIN

Paris-"And the blind shall see not with their sightless eyes, but with their skins
 This is the serious declaration ot Louis Farigoule, noted as sclen- tist, and noted almost equally as well as a poet, under the name of Jules Remains. As the result of long series of experiments made up on hypnotized subjects, Prof tari- goule is convinced that the skin through certain nerve ends has the faculty of vision.
 He believes that this faculty ot the skin to see existed in the human body before vision was developed by means of the eyes. Since then, naturally, the faculty of the skin to see has been all but lost through lack of use.
 By a proper system of education, however, Prof. Farigoule IS eonVlncc- ed that these nerve centers and ends in ten skin can be re-educated to eX- ercise their original function What this would mean for the blind, and especially for those who lost then vision by means of the eyes during 1 the war, is the greata underlying ! inspfration that is pushing Prof Farjgoule on to further experiments
 He has just published the results of his first experiments that have caused him to arrive at the abov' conclusions. To date, Prof. Fari goule's experiments have been con

FROM THE GARBAGE

There are hundreds of men in Portland who drink moonshine whis- key.
 Part of it is made from decayed fruits and vegetables gathered from commission houses and garbage pails- Some comes from potato pealings that have been rescued from swlll- containers. One bootlegger freely admitted that his whiskey was made from decayed perishables that he had gathered from garbage cans.
 In making the liquor various con trivances are used. One still opera tor, recently caught, used old oyster cans. Another used galvanized coffee can, a dispan and teacup. Another used five-gallon soup can, and inside were nine oyster cans and a wash basin. Others use lead and zine pipes, all throwing off deadly poisons.
 Copper is the cnly metal that car be used in manufacturing liquor that does not throw off the poisons. Il is used, officers say, in only very small percentage of cases.
 When Portland men imbibe thu moonshine, it is fluid springing iron decayed substances picked from gar bage receptacles and run througl oyster, soup and coffee cans, ant lead and zine pipes, that they arr drinking. Many of them thereaf ter go to the hospitals for treatmen or to the grave.-Portland Journal

Banners containing the portraits of these gentlemen, together with the ! announcement of the high office to ' which they aspired was not thought superfluous merely because they i'm { parted no news tothe beholder. It
 is not entirely true that they were regarded as works of art, but, during
 the period of their display they
 stood somewhat in the intimate re-
 lation to the voter, that a picture in
 our once treasured family album is
 supposed to bear to the root and
 branch of our particular tribe. They
 were customary and expected. Un- til quite recently the political tribe which failed to display the features of it's standard bearer in these sway ing albums of publicity stretched across city streets might we'll have been regarded with suspicion, as be- ing on the whole ashamed of his appearance.
 Surely man may exhibit pho tograph of his father or of some favorite uncle without apology for the fact that the relationship exist ing between himself and the original of the picture is no news to the be- holder. These portrait banners have never been the less esteemed because of their futility in throwing any new light upon a political campaign. They have had in many cases the value of bold defiance of any ar ! tist, no matter how devilish to make 1 apresidential candidate so ugly that 1 he would not still be worth voting l for.
 I have mentioned the names of 1 Greedy, Tilden and Hancock because they furnish early recollection of the portrait banner in it's most awe inspiring form. Who that ever gazed upon the pained features of the great editor and his running mate (B. Gattz Brown was it notO as hey swung between lofty poles will beard of Greedy lowered upward in snowy whitieness from somewhere beneath the open neckband of his ,hirt, forming an effective contrast 0 the pink, almost boyish complex on which the artist had seen fit to 1estow upon his round benevolent ace. The thin, somewhat esthetlc ace of Tilden afforded less oppor- unity for startling effects from the ,rush of the campaign artist. Til | len and Gen. Hancock should really nave been pained full length, rather han as medallions. Tehre was a endency, I remember, in these DOT rait banners to give Tilden more the anctimonious aspect of a parson eeking souls that of a politician eeking suffrage. And, handsome $ it was, the mere head of W"lfield Scott Hancock framed in a gilded wal, could not represent the soldier tatesman as effectively as would lis imposing length of limb and majestic bearing had the banners ,een up-ended and his entire figure, word, sash and all been presented o view.
 But it was never the custom to Iisplay more than the head, neck and shoulders of presidential candi- late upon these believing net-like that draped our city's thor )ughfares. A full length figure, would, no doubt, have been as start | .ing and incongruOus as the appear | ance of George Washington in ms entirety on postage stamp.

Women will vote in many states
next November possibly in all of
them. They need no excuse for MAX
ing this demand. If the woman alone
stand togather they can change any
undesirable condition, whether local
or national, whether the politicians
say SO or not. They don't need to be
politically wise; they need only to be
honest. They don't need to be shr-
ewd; they need only to be loyal.
The fight to control vice and ven

to overcome, but hoped-for results
are being accomplished, and it is now
only question of continued pressure
and attack all along the line and the
