SENATOR BILL WEST FROM
GLORIGI A.
Senator NS'illlnni *S. Went/of Valdon
tfi . -finM to Ik* murh in oAidcnce in
the Memttc «»f the I'iait<*il Hlntcs. The
SaturO • Kvoning Poet calla him
about the* hiiMlf'Mt atnator at preaent
in the aenate.
It Mfitm that tho ac nator, know
ini' lii« tim* l» abort, wants to know
aliout a lot of things and he Im pro
ceeding to make it lively for the sen
ale* and th“ nation. till* recent en
counter with Vardanian ors
pi ih a cane in point, The■ Post in re
in ting the* incident says:
“I quote from a recent speech of
Senator Weet, «if Georgia: "It has
l«en chanted liere to tlve t'arncgie
I’oundation tl»e expenditure of thir
ty thousand dolltirs \Vln» knows hut
that the shipping interests have spent
a hundred thousand dollars in order
to secure the defofcl of this hill?"
Now then, after* those two senten
ces. a numiau of very interesting
things happened. The Honorable
Janes K Vardanian, of Mississippi,
snaking tils lonii and flowing locks—
and he has plenty'of them to shake—
rose and. gnashing* his teeth gnashlly,
Mild five words to Senator West.
Senator West, leaping high In the air
and waving hi* arm* about rapidly,
replied in five word* that were equal
ly gnnahatory; but*he has few locks
to shake.
The long and flowing locks of Sen
ator Vardan an geatuied and gesticu
lated. TIA- almost imperceptible locks
ot Resmtoi Weal 'ii.i their inti* bogt.
The voices of the two men were high
and excited. It looked like a ftght.
felt like one, had all the makings of
one; hut it was not Still, there was
a very lively and interesting diver
sion.
"Who know* hut that the shipping
interests have spent a hundred thou
sand dollars in order to secure the
defeat of this hill" was asked rather
heatedly by Senator West.
At this point the Record takes up
the situation.
Mr. Vardaman: Have you been
offered any?
Mr. West; Do not say that to me
Mr. Vardaman: Well, you are mak
ing an Intimation that somebody else
1 has been Influenced.
Mr West: I did not say ao. 1
| said-
Mr Vardaman: You said ——
The Presiding Officer: Senators
will please come to order. Senators
will please take their seat*.
Mr West l did not say they had
been bribed, or otherwise
The Presiding officer Senator will
please take their seats The sergeant
at arn * will see that the senator* are
seated
Mr. West: No I am not going to sit
down. I am not through.
Mr Vardaman: The senator can
not make an intimation of that kind
Mr. West: 1 did not intimate it.
Then Senator James calmed them
and Senator Ashurst kept them
apart; and the historic afternoon
when Senator Tillman uppercut Sen
ator Mcl-aurtn remain* a* the last
occasion on which any of the sena
torial White Hopes did any real slug
ging.
What an opportunity was thrown
juwav by that laiy Record reporter!
Think of the word painting that
might have been done, whether there
! whs any eye painting or not as there
jw as not. And it Is not likely that
| Senator West w ill have another
chance either, untiringly a* he may
I work to get In and on and over and
j under the discussions. His time is
short. Hence let tin give him credit
for what he has done.’*
GOLD GOING ABROAD TO BRING
AMERICANS HOME.
Plans sre rapidly being perfected to
j secure ship* and to furnish funds to
Americans abroad, so that they may
! return to this country. In the mean*
j time. Americans abroad will he sub
jected to many discomforts and In
conveniences. However Unrig Ram Is

jof thousands of Americans In Europe
%ht* summer
Augusta ha* a number of ctUsens
who are nhrmul this summer In the
i various cities and capitals of Europe
It has been impossible to secure news
Inf them in the rapid march of eventa.
hut the hope Is entertained that aside
j from the discomfort* and inconten*
I vaniences encountered, all will be
eaftly returned to thU country.
ATTENTION, COUNTY COMMIS
SIONERS.
County taxes are raised on a tax
digest of over 30 millions. City tax
payers pay iu round figures on 28
millions and the taxpayers outside of
the city on two millions. About 90
per cent of the county funds are raised
from city property and city taxpayers.
Less than 10 per cent of tho county
funds comes from the county proper
taxes, outside of the city- of Augusta.
The County Commissioners order
the expenditure of the county funds.
Why not order a part of them in the
city, whirl/ Is part of the county,
and which contributes 90 per cent of
the money.
Taxation without representation,
without direct benefits, is what th«
city gets, in the expenditure of countv
funds and in the work of the county
forces. Isn’t it time for part of the
county funds t<» la* spent in the city
and give at least that 90 per cent of
the thx money some benefits and some
representation? Half of the county
funds and half of the county work is
done in Atlanta and the other half In
Fulton county. This half division of
funds and county work is done in a
good many urban counties.
Here in Augusta with the city doing
so much to protect the citizens of the
county, building a two million dollar
lever and contributing 90 per cent of
the funds of the county, it is him
time the County Commissioners began i
the scheme of a fair and equitable di
vision of county funds and county
work. Taking the tax money of the
city and discriminating against the
city in th»* expenditure of the county
funds and in the division of the coun
ty work, is working an increasing
hardship on Augusta and should
cease.
Make Your Garden a Place to
Live in
In the August Woman s Home Com-
I’anlon Frank A. Waugh, professor of
landscape gardening at the Massachu
setts College of Agriculture, writes an
article about gardens- full ot pra-ti
cal suggestions. I’rofessor Waugh
says tttai English and German gar
dens, especially the latter, are always
attractive because of the number of
seats and tables provided. He -tells
particularly of little suburban garden
near Merlin which he used to vistl,
where at every turn of the walk there
were chairs ot a bench Invttuig one
to linger. This, lie says, .« as it
should be in every gurden. 'We
ought to lie able to sit and read, sew,
think, gossii, eat, drink and be merry,
or Just plain loaf," adds the author.
In conclusion Professor Waugh says;
“Ouce more, and in conclusion, let
It be emphasised that the garden,
where the family ought to live and
eat and sleep, ought to be adequately
fttrnlsheu. It should not be cold and
empty, with no place to sit or read
or play. It should be full of lbs
proved conveniences of everyday life.
Also It should have features which
will supply a lively Interest to visit
ors and to members of the family.
Yet this Tarnishing must not go too
far. It will never do to crowd the
garden with bric-a-brac. If tb.i home
grounds become a mere museum ot
Grecian lilies. Italian statues, Japan
ese lanterns, and Alaska totem poles
they have forever lost their character
as a garden and simultaneously their
uselessncsa aa a part of the domestic
establishment While the garden fttr
utshlnga should be ample and ade
quate they should be simple and ser
viceable
“In a word, the problem oT furni
ture for the garden is in ite essence
precisely the same as ihe problem of
furniture for the Interior o: the house.
AM the separate pieces should he con
sistent in style and clearly aulted to
the central purpose of the garden.
This central purpose appears clearly
to view as soon as we regard the
garden as an integral part of the
home contributing its ntll share to
the dally life and enjoyment of all the
family and to the hospitality extended
to strangers."

THE WAYS OF THRIFT
Copyrighted, 1911. Amen, n Society,
for Thrift.
WHO OWNS THE PAY ENVELOPE
The practice among foreigners 01 j
the older generation of demanding
tlie money earned by ttieir children
to spend lor tnem or save as they
deem Pest, Is prevalent and almost
invariably operates to the detriment
of the children.
In the opinion of Miss Mary H
Gilson, service su eruitendent for a
big clothing house of Cleve and, it
would appear that the motners ot
these young factory workers are as
much in need of training as their
children. In a letter to President S.
W. Straus, of the American Society
for Thrift, she said:
“When l was placement secretary
in the Boston Trade School for Girls
we attempted to train our girls In
habits of thrift lie ore they went out
to work. There was much class dis
cussion of tho proper spending of
money and wise choice of textiles,
foods, etc. But for the past two
years I have felt that much of the
work we did along this line in Bos
ton and similar work that is being
done in other public schools of the
country Is futile because parents do
not, as a rule, give children
tho training which they need if they
are to become thrifty savers and wise
spenders. I can conservatively esti
mate tnat two-thirds of our unmar
ried employees turn their pay en
velo; cs over to their parents unop
ened.
"Many of- the foreign parents buy
very unwisrty, and the velvet shoes
With glass buttons and cheap flimsy
materials which one often sees on
factory girls are purchased by the
parents themselves. When these
girls marry it is noticeable that they
have no idea of the value of money.
We have cases of women working
here at the factory who have to pay
A Dark Cloud. Over the Earth .
Lightning Flashes oT Death, the Inte lb genre of the Race Devote dto Mur
der, a Dreadful Picture That YV ill Shock Future Civilization.
(Copyright, 3914 by Star Company.)
In Europe millions of men are mob
ilizing for murder-.
On the long stretches of highway
nten are marching. Frenchmen into
Germany, Germans Into France, Rus
sians into Gerany, each with but one
thought, to inflict death at any cost.
At sea the gray warships wait for
each other like great monsters of prey,
and even in the air the death hunt
goes on.
Every luune in Europe has Us anx
ious heart, its fear of death.
Every noble effort of mankind is
paralyzed and futile.
The world waits only for news, of
great destruction, or of the official
statement of some nation that It In its
turn haa Joined the ranks of murder.
Horrible Is the picture that this
earth now offers to future genera
tions.
Men that might live happily and at
|>eace. are thinking only how they may
most effictlvely destroy each other.
Fields that would feed all and mil
lions snore are to he made fields of
battle and drenched with blood.
Seventeen millions of human beings,
armed with deadly weapons, may be
brought Into this horrible, needless
fight before It ends.
ttf these millions some are old. and
many millions are young —mere hoys.
Race hatred, religious haired flame
up with bitterness forgotten. The
world must suffer long for the revival
of these hatreds.
t'tir own nation looks on in humble
spirit
Seeing the ngttons murder each oth
er. we might well ear as John Wesley
said of the drunkard in the gutter.
"Hut for the grace of God there lies
John Wesley."
But for our isolated position, the
thousands of miles of ocean that sep
arate us from the conflict «e might
be devoting every effort to the murder
of others and sacrificing every con
structive' power In ihe work of de
stroying.
For we are no better than am Euro
pean nation. If we are as good. We

, off heavy debts incurred at the time
of their weddings- They start out
: handicapped and become discouraged
I because of their inability to save,
j "Many parents, as you know, con
j sider their children assets and wnen
i attempt to reason with them tuey
j say, 'No, I have spent a great deal
! of money on Mary and she owes me
I eevry cent s:,e can earn until she
gets married ' 1 think that in moat
cases of early marriages this desire
for financial independence : j »
I strong influence, and the girl who
I pays board at home and is allowed
| to keep the rest of her money to have
and spend as she chooses generally
makes a very much wiser choise of
husband than the girl who turns her
pay envelope over to her parents.
"i was talking with one of our
foremen yesterday who said that 'as
long as his boys stayed under his
roof their pay envelopes belonged to
j him. ‘Why,’ he said, T know a fel
low who is twenty-eight years old.
and he has never opened a pay en-
I velope in all his life.’ When I oh
l ieoted to such treafmdht he said.
| 'Well, he Is all right. His mother
I has saved his money for him and
| bought him a house.’ While this is
I a better course than most of the par
i cuts I tii.nk that even in this case
| tire boy’s character would have been
j stronger had he been trained to save
his own money ”
Here is another case: ‘‘Emily P.
: makes over two dollars a day. Her
mother was visting the shop one day
and I took her to see where Emily
works at her machine. S‘he said
proudly, ’Yes, Emily makes good
Mone.' .’ I took the opportunity to
urge Mrs P. to have Emily start a
savings ae.cotmt in our Penny Bank,
but was met with the remark, ‘Oh,
[ give her ten cents a day for spend
ing money and she isperfectly satis
fied"
There is no news to tell.
Details will be printed in all the
newspapers. Loss of life, destruction-
Of ships, burning of cities, dreadful.
Infamous crimes against civilization
will be recorded
Rut all of that Is not news
The whole story- ls'told in the mes
sage —civilization has declared war
against itself.
Terrible is the lesson to be learned
by the fighting tribes of savage men
that call themselves nations.
It Is an old and dreadful lesson.
It was learned by Cain when he saw
his brother dead before him and fled
from the curse.
It Is a lesson learned in each cen
tury, and almost each year, since men
lagan struggling for power and
w ealth.
Vainly we hoped that the lesson had
b< en learned finally, that the human
race knew It.
But still It is to be learned. .
"He that leadeth into captivity shall
go Into captivity; he that killetii with
the sword must be killed with the
sword."
The world Is a picture of horror, and
there Is not a bright spot in It except
, the distant hope that from this in
! ternational crime and riot of blood
I «nd destruction real peace at last shall
j come.
All that Is good In man Is put aside.
I whatever can destroy life is valuable,
whatever can (rente value Is worth-
I less. \
