During the last session of the con-

ing to the payment of the remaining
claims generally referred to as the
French spoliation claims.
The United States ought to pay Its
debts. / recommend action by the
congress which will permit of the pay
ment of these remaining claims.
Wage Garner Aided.
Two very important policies have
been adopted by this country which,
while extending their benefits also in
other directions, have been of the
utmost Importance to the wage earn
ers. One of these is the protective
tariff. The other is a policy Of more
recent origin and seeks to shield our
wage earners from the disastrous COM
petition of a great influx Of foreign
peoples.
This has been done by the restric-
tive immigration law. This the
men.
The merit system has long been rec
ognized as the correct basis for en-
ployment in our civil service. / be-
lieve that first, second and third-class
postmasters, and without covering in
the present membership the field force
of prohibition enforcement should be
brought within the classified service
by statute law.
One way to save public money would
be to pass the pending bill for the re-
organization of the various depart
ments.
Army and Navy.
Little has developed In relation to
our national defense which needs spe-
cial attention. Progress is constantly
being made in air navigation and re-
quires encouragement and develop
ment.
Under the limitation of ornaments
treaty a large saving in outlay and
a considerable decrease In mainte-
nance of the navy has been accom-
plished.
We should maintain the policy of
constantly working toward the full
treaty strength of the navy.
A special commission also is inves-
the problem of petroleum oil
for the navy.
l believe thoroughly In the army and
navy, In adequate defense and prep
aration. But l am opposed to any
policy of competition in building and
maintaining land or sea ornaments.

PARIS ANNOUNCES COLD
LIGHT THAT WON'T BURN YOU

In Paris, Camille Dussard gave
a demonstration of cold light. "
In the presence of famed mem
bers of the Academic des Scien-
ces, he touched the wires of his
1000 candlepower electric lamp
and was no more harmed than if
he had exposed his hand to the
fiery spray of holiday Spark
Ter" No shock nor burn result
ed.
"only one watt in 100-watt
lamp actually Eliminates" the
inventor explained, the others
merely give off heat" Yet it is
possible, he believes, to build a
10, 000-candlepower lamp that
viii give off no heat at all. Such
"frozen light" COULD be used
cheaply to project cinemas.
Two years ago, at the time
when the discovery of cold light
after seven years of experiment
was discussed by the American
Philosophical Society, it was
pointed out that if the product
could ever become marketable, 1t
could be supplied at 10 per cent
of the cost of hot light.-From

Low Grade Calcium

= There hav been repeated
rumors over the state that some
very low grade calcium arsenate
was shipped into Georgia this
year, In fact there were some
rather nasty rumors" going the
rounds in Atlanta recently.
Whether any of this low
grade poison got into Sumter
county, we do not know. We
do know that every possible
safeguard was thrown around
every car received in this coun-
ty for use by Sumter county
farmers.
There is no division in thought
as to the necessity of using arse
nate if cotton is to be profitably
produced. Sumter county has
proven that question conclusive
ly this year. This being true, it
is Of the greatest importance
that only the very best, the
highest grade of poison, be sold
in this State.
That man or firm, be he poll
tician or what not, who winks at
or allows a pound Of low grade
poison to be sold to Georgia
farmers is a double-dyed scoun-
drel.
Georgia farmers are in Meth
er the mental nor financial shade
to be trifled with. The welfare
of the entire State is at stake. 1t
is difficult, at times and in some
places, to persuade the farmer
to poison. IF such a farmer or
such a community happens to
get one of these cars of low
grade calcium, the work of
years may be undone. Once
the farmer loses confidence in
calcium arsenate as an efficient
poison, it will be ten times as
difficult to again sell him on its
use.
Every possible safeguard
should be thrown around every
car that comes into Georgia.
If low grade poison DID get
into the State this year, it is
proof that something is wrong
somewhere. No car should be
opened until an analysis has been
made and the grade found to be
what it should be. And now is
the time to find where the leak
is-if a leak there be - and
stop it up before another sea-
son has rolled around.
