WHY FOLKS LIKE PUZZLES

EOUR thousand years ago, on the
island of Crete, men were max.
ing and solving word puzzles. The
Johns Hopkins university museum
has relic of those days, the Phaes-
tus Disk, that no man Of modern
times has ever solved.
The Greeks had their refuses and
acrostics.
And modern man has his cross
word puzzle.
After all, these crossword puzzles
fill very fundamental need of hui
man nature.
Man, beset on every side with prob
lens that he cannot solve, beaten and
cowed by the puzzles of existence, of
human relations, of everyday affairs
is rested and restored by encounter
ing problem that he can solve.
1t puzzles him, he must work ov-
er it, but at last he dominates. The
thing is brought to submission and
he is supreme.
That's valuable experience. We
all need to succeed frequently. If we
are not to become broken-spirited
victims Of our own inferiority COM
plexes, each one must have a little
world in which he can be glorious
conqueror.
The crossword puzzle is the an
swer for multitudes of us.

WHAT'S THE MATTER

THE Gooding bill passed through
the senate last May with a vote
of 81 to %. It went straight from
there to the house committee, the
chairman of which is Samuel E. Win
slow. From that time until this, the
measure has received no definite at
tention from that committee, except
to set a date Of hearing the last day
of session before the dismissal for
the holidays.
1t is part of the work of the COM
mittee to deal with railroad lepis-
lation. If it is possible for them
to control it, it is also possible for
them to block any bill that is not to
their liking and in turn can speed
on its way any bill that they wish
passed. That is to say, if the rail-
roads control the house committee
they control railroad legislation.
1t is not hard to see why the rail-
roads are hostile to the Goodine bill.
Its enactment would interfere with
their purpose to destroy boat compe-
tition through the Panama Canal.
Their fear to have the bill debated
on the floor of the house, is proved
by their attempt to smother it in
the house committee.
They do not want discussion of
the measure on its merits. When the
bill was put squarely before the SEN
ate in open session, after long par
liamentary battle by the friends of
the bill, and stood week of debaue
there were only % who voted against
the measure.
The question is naturally asked,
who constitutes the committee. There
are twenty-one of them, namely:
Winslow of Massachusetts,, chair.
man; Parker of New York, Cooper
Of Ohio, Denison of Illinois, Sanders
Of Indiana, Merritt of Connecticut,
Mapes of Michigan, Graham of ILL.,
nois, Newton of Minnesota, Hoch
If Kansas, Wyant of Pennsylvania,
Burtness of North Dakota, Barley
If Kentucky, Rayburn of Texas, Hud-
lleson of Alabama, Lea of Califor-
Tia, Halves Of Missouri, Park of Ar
,ansas, Crosser of Ohio, Shallenberg-
r of Nebraska and Corning of New
FORK.
Are there any of these controlled by !
he railroads? Undoubtedly there are
ONE that are independent and in
position to vote in the public in
erests, although at this time it seems
hat they are in the minority.

THIS fellow Bishop who has been

enormous amounts on their favorite

at the Union church pealed out
C1ang! Clang! and continued to ring
urgently and long, as it does when
ever a fire breaks out.
Where Is the Fire:
Everybody began looking for the
fire; those at home ran through
their houses and then looked at the
roofs, but no fire being seen, those
living on the southern end of town
concluded that the fire was at the
northern end, and vice versa. and

the impeachment of her husband in
his second term as governor.
She has declared herself for a
strict enforcement of the prohibition

of taxes wherever possible, q liberal
and enlightened policy toward edu-
cation to reduce illiteracy and for
strict law enforcement by the duly
constituted officials
He says he thinks the prohibition
issue has become acute and that 1.-The
foes of temperance and prohibition
are lined up solidly against me in
this race
The figures which put Mrs. Fergu-

court which may be announced when
the election returns are canvassed
August II will be required to decide

CONVICTION CHARGES

PAUL B. TRANMELL

Demanding retractio of certain
house of representatives Tuesday, or
proof to sustain the alleged 'insin-
uations," Paul r. Trammell, of Dal-
ton, Ga, chairman of the state pub
lie service commission, gave out
Wednesday from his home at Dial
ton, a telegram he had dispatched
to Judge w. A. Covington, repre-
sentative from Colquitt county.
In the course of debate Tuesday
tivity in the affairs of the
Georgia legislature by the
bill, Representative Covington com
mented on what he termed the ac-
tiVity in the affairs of the Georgia
legislature by the public service cor
pOrations, declaring these corpora
tons were responsible for the bien'
NAL sessions bill and were its princi-
pal supporters.
In this connection he made Ger
tain statements as to the state pub
lie service commission, mentioning
the chairman, but not calling him
by name.
Chairman Trammell, who is at his
home in Dalton on account of i'll
ness, announced Wednesday morn
ing that he had sent Representative
Covington a, telegram demanding re
traction of the alleged insinuation

was founded in fact.
