Dear Sir


Dear Sir
In order that yourself and the gen

duainted with facts concerning the
engagement of Breezy Times" at
The Avenue Theatre, week of July
oath, will you kindly permit me space
in your valuable Journal to vindicate
myself and defend my reputation
with the theatrical public.
In the presence Of Messrs. Clarence
E. Muse, S. A. Bruseaux and A. +.
Patterson, the following agreement
vas reached, decided upon and signed.

music to Breezy Times, and A. &.
Patterson guaranteed to pay salaries
of all actors engaged in Breezy
Times"
For the above mentioned comedy !
have only received 20 per cent of my
original guarantee. Out of weekly
ross of S1,098.47, only about $500
could be accgounted for in cash mon

the entire sum to be divided among
the performers who had 50 faithfully

to tie statement made by Mrs. A. b.

terson, the assembled cast and my
self that SHE had furnished the
money to finance the proposition and

clusion that this is why the gentle
m ems areement on the part of Mr..
A. f. Patterson was broken, and as
Mrs. A. E. Patterson stated that she
did not propose TO pay out another
cent. this accounts for the actors
salaries not being paid as guaranteed
by Mr.. Patterson.

ARE you A sELF-STARTER?

If you are willing to jog along in
your happy, just make-a-living way
that is all you ever will do.
You may think that sometime some
thing will turn up and one of these
times you will make a little stake
which will carry you through the re-
mainder of life.
But things don't just turn up OF
their own accord, you must do some.
thing-some real work and some real
thinking-to make things turn up"
Il is foolish for you to think that
someone is going to look you up and
push you forward. if you yourself are
content to allow yourself to go along
under an easy head of steam
Employers are looking for a self
starter when they engage a man as
well as when they buy an automobile,
and they want one who will keep
himself going at a pretty good speed
also.
They are not going to furnish high
power gasoline and the hot spark to
keep their employees going, either.
The man who wants to draw favor
able attention TO himself must be
alert. active. reliable and show in
terest and faith and loyalty to the
frm which employs him-Atlanta

Charges that predatory interests

nance committee room where repub-
lican committeeman were framing the
administration tariff bill were made
in the senate by Senator King, demo-
crat of Utah, Tuesday.
The Utah senator declared that on
one occasion when he visited the COM
mittee quarters to obtain copies of
public hearings, the anti-chambers
and corridors were so crowded with
these representatives of the preda-
tory interests and other benefciaries
of the high rates in this bill tina he
could scarcely effect an entrance to
the room,
why were they there? The public
hearings had closed, the committee
majority was in executive session to
frame the bill, the democrats had
been excluded. For what purpose
were they there? l leave it for the
senators and the public to determine
wha heir purpose was?" said he Utah

Preventative Medicine

The tendency of medical science is
toward preventative measures. 1t is
easier and better to prevent than to
cure. Pneumonia, one of the most
dangerous diseases that medical men
have to contend with. often follows a
cold or attack of the grip. The cold
prepares the system for the reception
and development of the pneumonia
germ. The longer the cold hangs on,
the greater the danger Take Cham
berlain's Cough Remey as soon as
the first indication of a cold appears
so as to get rid of it with the least
possible delay. 1t is folly to risk an
attack of pneumonia when this rem
edy may be obtained for a trifie.-ad.

is maintaining an army of 100000 men

Africa, besides is financing an army
of 100000 in Poland? All this in fear
of Germany with an army of 1OO. 900
and no ship of war.

pay the more than eleven billion dol
lars they owe US in loans the money

WHY IT CANNOT BE

A writer in the Breeders Gazette
proposes the merging Of several coun-
ties and making the administrative
machinery of one work for ALL to the
elimination of the other county adj
ministrations and their attendant ex-
penses. He says:
More than 5000 counties in the
United States cost taxpayers approx
mately $400,000,000 annually in admin
istrative expenses. Would not the
administrative machinery in one coun-
ty, for example, under present condi-
tions of transport and communication,
be capable of serving two or three or
four small counties adjoining one an
other? Are there not opportunities for
public economies and increased eff
cheney in administration in combin-
ing county governments, where physi-
cal conditions are favorable? Are not
combination and cooperation as ap-
propriate in county government and
administration as in business? These
and similar questions are suggesting
themselves to many minds. The fact
that they are asked is hopeful.
THE cost of county administration,
to say nothing of the nation and state,
could be abridged, without impairing
the essential services of local govern
ments. When our counties were
formed, the cost of setting up and
conducting the requisite machinery
and paying officials was small AS
population increased, public improve
ments were made, and more admins
tratlve apparatus and more officials
were employed. Along with this ever
growing completely of social and bust
ness life, the personal obligations and
expenses of farm families have in
creased. Today there is a vast over
head resting heavily upon taxpayers .
The Florida Development Board, in
calling attention to the suggestion,
says, that while it is doubtful if the
politicians in Florida, or any other
state, will look with favor upon any
such proposition, it has at least the
merit of reducing cost of county gov
eminent
Theoretically, the idea sounds good
Practically, it would be a failure.
The county is the unit of govern
ment in the Republic of the United
States. The county is to the general
government what the town meeting"
was to New England in days gone
by. The county represents the closest
contact with the people, and, in
democracy the closer the personal
contact with the source from which
the powers of government are derived.
the better the government, and the
safer the rights of the people.
True, it would lessen the county
government expense, if a merger
should be made, but then why
Los cut it all out by merging all coun-
ties into one, and then cut still more
by making the state the whole thing.
and even going still further to cut out
the expensiveness of state govern
ments by letting the national govern
ment do it all.
The smaller the unit of civil gov
eminent the better for the people. and
there are other things to be considered
than mere money cost of operation

.HARDINcIzE," NEW WORD or
MANY DEFINITIONS

The verb TO Hardingize," is the
most recent addition to the political
vocabulary and many find a perma-
nent place in the dictionary. It is
contributed by Senator Thaddeus H.
Caraway, the. incisive and eloquent
democratic senator from Arkansas,
who carries lancet in his tongue
and Yields a shining rapier of elo-
quence with which he punctures and
pierces the shams, the hypocrisies
and the wrong-doing of the admins
tration and political opponents.
Senator Caraway credits the re-
publican administration with coming
the words "Newberryize" and "Har-
dingize," but the senator himself fur
nishes the definitions.
''Newberryizing" as defined by the
senator means to buy a seat in the
United States senate.
'Hardingize," according to Senator
Caraway, is susceptible of many def
nitions AS stated by him they are:
(a) To compel the senate to re-
tain the beneficiary of a purchased
seat in that body.
(b) To go to the golf links and
leave your secretary to tell humble
supplicants who want to know why
they were driven out of public en-
ployment and their regulations be-
clouded that the president is sorry if
it hurts, but he has no other expla-
nation to make.
(c) To buy a $4,000 launch, but
let the boys who were sent across the
sea to preserve the liberty of the
world beg for secondhand clothes to
wear and cigarettes to smoke. Mote
The King of England has dispens-
ed with his launch. The president of

Mr.. Bryan Is always doing some in
feresting things. and frequently he
does a gracious thing. His most re-
cent act Is both interesting and gra-
cious. II is the gift of his residence
property at Lincoln. Neb.. known as
Fairview. to the Methodist Episcopal
church for hospital purposes. Pre-
viously Mr.. Bryan, being a Presby-
terrain by faith. had proffered the
property to the Presbyterian church,
hut that body declined the tender.
With the residence goes a substan-
tial brick barn and 10 acres Of ground.
Fairview is a valuable property. IL
is located in one of the choicest sub
urban residence districts of Lincoln.
When Mr.. Bryan purchased acreage
and erected his home in that locality
IL was mostly farm land, although
close TO the city. He still owns con-
siderable acreage there. Its value is
now placed at $4,000 per acre. and TO
reproduce the Fairview residence, il
is estimated. would require something
like $4,000 to $4,000. People will
remember the building of Fairview;
how the brick barn was first erected
and how the Bryans dwelt therein
while the house was being built. The
delight Of the organs in their new
home Is recalled. IL was the first
home Of their prosperity. The organs
had known what IL was to be poor
very poor. When the sun of prosper.
ity shone upon them their dreams of
home first took shape in Fairview.
Everyone who has built a home
knows how Il Is. When Fairview had
been completed and occupied hospi-
tally was enthroned therein. Many
visitors OF one sort and another. from
far and near. passed through its doors.
Mr.. Bryan's activities had brought 10
him both OF friends and wide acquaint-
ances. and the great and the near
great. together with many OF the
common people. were his guests.
Thus for many years Fairview was a
Mecca Of a certain sort. AS time pass

and finally Florida claimed them.
