err and politician, to suit them. ToleS-
ton has been disliked by st. Louis or
ganization Republicans ever since the
Hadley administration. The reason
for this bitter partisan hatred is OBJ
vious.
Instead of making st. Louis appoint
ments in accordance with the demands
of the organization, Hadley then al
ways sent Tolerton to st. Louis to
look over the field, and usually fol-
lowed Tolerton's advice and recon-
mendations instead of that of the
Republican City Committee of that
big German settlement. Members of
the st. Louis city committee fear, and
they have sufficient reason to do so.
that Tolerton would again dictate st.
Louis appointments if McJimsey
| should, through a Democratic mishap,
become governor. Tolerton is said to
have raised the money to finance Nc
Jimsey's present race for first honor
on the "gop" ticket.
So far as the powerful St. Louis
wet "gop' machines dissatisfaction
with Editor McJimsey has been kept
quiet and none of those on the inside
of recent conferences held in St. Louis
on this subject will consent to ex-
press themselves publicly. In fact
one of the great difficulties is said
to be in trying to discover way to
gracefully abandon and drop McJim-
scy. While the st. Louis "gop" City
Committee has voted an Endorsement
of him, it is said, the least offered OPP
portunity for this very "wet" machine
to change its mind and rally to the
support Of another Republican candi-
date will be Immediately taken advan-
tage of.
If Banker Speer of jefferson City,
formerly Representative from wet"
and strongly pro-German Usage coun-
ty, refuses to consent to become
candidate for the Republican nomina-
tioh for Governor, there still remains
State Senator Howard Gray of Car
thage, Jasper county. He is said to
be even more liberal on the prohibition
question than either Speer or Editor
McJimsey.
Another weak point in the McJim-
sey candidacy is the fact that the
10000 negro Republicans of Nilsson
ri are opposed to his selection as the
"gop" standard bearer and will not
support him at the November cleo
tion if the party tenders him the CUB
ernatorial nomination. The paper he
chiefly owns and edits in Springfield
took decided stand against the ne
groes of that city during the race riots
there twelve years ago when two or
three negroes were lynched and their
bodies burned. The negroes of Mis-
souri, still remember the attitude of
the Springfield Republican, the big
"gop" organ of that city and south
west Missouri.

say the sentiment of the country is
divided upon the question. Much of
the opposition comes from a misun-
derstanding of the provisions of the
measure. Some of the opposition
comes from a conviction that it is
wrong.
Mr.. HARRISON. Why has the Sen
ator changed his views now from what
they were when he voted in the Com
mittee on Military Affairs for COM
pulsory military service, as did the
other members on the majority side?
Mr., SPENCER. / am wondering at
the keeness and anxiety of my friend,
the distinguished Senator from Mis-
sissippi, to inquire into the reason why
a Senator did this or that. | would
rather consider that the question into
which he should inquire is what is the
right thing to do when we are brought
to consideration Of the bill itself. If |
thought was wrong in the committee,
| would not hesitate to change upon
the floor of the Senate, and neither
would the Senator from Mississippi,
for his fearlessness is well known, but
there is no occasion to make any
change. The fact of the case is that
there was great principle of uni
versal training before the committee.
When they came to the application of
that principle the method by which it
might best be tried out was not so
clear.
The debate proceeded at length and
Senator Spencer was interrupted by
Senators Smith of Arizona and Nc
Keller of Tennessee who questioned
him in regard to his attitude.
In the end everyone seemed to be
much in doubt as to just how Senator
Spencer did stand on the proposition.
He had some favorable comment for
almost every phase of the question.

PROBLEM OF THE FUTURE

In Missouri and in fact throughout
the nation, we are entering upon new
era. Nearly every community is
aroused to the necessity of immediate
road improvement and steps are being
taken to finance road projects of vary
ing degrees of Importance. This en-
thusiasm and determination on the
part of the people generally to secure
better roads is demonstrated by what
has recently been done to finance road
projects in this State. During 1917,
1913 and 1919 local communities voted
over $20,000,000 in road bonds. Of
this amount, about $4,000, 900 was
voted in 1919. In various parts Of the
State, also, bond elections are about to
be held or arrangements are being
made to call such elections. WHEREBY
er bonds have been defeated it has US

How Diphtherla Is Contracted.

One often hears the expression, "My
child caught a severe cold which de-
veloped into diphtheria," when the
truth was that the cold had simply
left the little one particularly suscep-
tible to the wandering diphtheria
germ. If your child has a cold when
diphtheria is prevalent you should
take him out Of school and keep him
off the street until fully recovered, as
there is hundred times more dam
ger Of his taking diphtheria when he
has cold. When Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy is given it quickly
cures the cold and lessons the danger
of diphtheria or any other garm dis
ease being contracted. Obtainable

New Zealander Who Has Made
Big Following in All Cities He
Has Visited Is Now Meeting
The People of Atlanta
HIS PURATONE is
INTERESTING
Created Sensation in Macon For
Past Several Weeks By His
Unique Theories, But Has I'm
doubtedly Fulfilled Every State
ment.

John Pomeroy, the noted New Zeal
and Scientist, who has been creating
such a sensation in Macon for the past
few weeks, is now meeting the peo-
pie of Atlanta.
Pomeroy says that ninety per cent
of all i'll health is due to weak stom-
achs, and claims to prove this with his
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.. In speaking of
this theory during an interview We'd
nesday afternoon, he said: "Prac-
tically all the chronic i'll health of this
generation is caused by abnormal
stomach conditions. In earlier DAYS,
when the human race was closer to
nature and men and women worked
out of doors all day, the tired, droopy,
half-sick people that are now so COM
mon, did not exist. There was sick
ness, but it was only temporary and
very rare. There was little of this
constant half-sick condition with
which so many are afflicted.

Delightful Taste, Immediate
Relief, Quick Warm Up.

The sensation of the year in the
drug trade is Aspironal the two
minute cold and cough reliever, au-
thoritatively guaranteed by the labora-
tories; tested, approved and most
enthusiastically endorsed by the high
est authorities, and proclaimed by
the common people as ten times as
quick and effective as whiskey, rock
and rye, or any other cold and cough
remedy they have ever tried.
All drug stores are now supplied
with the wonderful new elixir, so all
you have to do to get rid of that cold
is to step into the nearest drug store,
hand the clerk half dollar for a bottle
of Aspironal and tell him to serve you
two teaspoonfuls with four teaspoon
fuls of water in a glass With your
watch in your hand, take the drink
at one swallow and call for your money
back in two minutes if you cannot
feel your cold fading away like dream
within the time limit. Don t be bash
full, for all druggists invite you and
expect you to try it. Everybody s
doing it.
When your cold or cough is re-
lieved, take the remainder of the bottle
hons to your wife and babies, fol
Aspironal is by far the safest and most
effective, the easiest to take and the
most agreeable cold and cough remedy

GEORCIA'S GIRLS
AND BOYS FIRST.
Prof. Honline Brings
Home Need of Proper
Training

What would it profit Georgia, if
she should gain the whole world and
lose her boys and girls
"What would the State of Georgia
take in exchange for her bows and
girls?"
These a~e the questions which
Prof. M. n. honline put with much
force before his hearers in his second
lecture at the District Sunday School
convention at the Central Baptist
church last night.
IL nature does not put things in
the blood, we cannot bring it out
or develop" said Prof. Honline.
IF nature endows an individual
with 65 per cent mathematical mind.
no teacher can develop a 100 per cent
student.
All that we con do as teachers and
parents, is to develop to the utmost,
the existing capacities of the child.
"Heredity stands first in the devel-
opment of the child, as the seed stands
first in the production of the corn
crop.
"The second element which enters
this development is Environment. The
only difference between the dandelion
and the chrysanthemum is environ
ment.
"Fhe third element in any crop is
cultivation.
"This element in child development
we call education.
Teaching belongs to the teacher.
Learning belongs to the pupil
Every child is born with 4 ele-
nents. dominant within him, phi 1sical,
intellectual, social, religious-note the
last, regilious, not Christianity.
Nothing Added To Child.
"When child comes into the world
he is blind, deaf and dumb, but these
capacities are present, as we see from
the development later On.
"If the child did not have the re-
ligious element present at birth, he
would never get it-for nothing is
added.
Religion is the common demonina-
tor of the race; religion is not on ac-
cident; man is a religious animal
"The savages had their religion,
but it faild to affeot their conduct

day announced himself as a candidate
for reelection to that office, subject

has already borne remarkable fruit
