tion ¥elating to the prohibition
law i§ to be regretted, The lan
‘guagh in which he couched his
criticlsms is to be far more re
grettpd. There is a diffql;ngce of
opin about the law. Many
thin it too drastic at some
poings. However, we must be our
guargl in criticism of law. The
trouple now is."‘the%‘é’ fire too

law.fThe bootlegger has the mor

" He %knqws that they entertain

to viblate it. The law is subject
to improvement, but improve

Amé.hérc%is the subject well cover

ing tl:%law. That’s where the prob)ex;l
ulues:&'l‘he man who makes trouble
with fi‘quor——and they make worlds
of trowg.‘ with it in_every conceiv
able form of crime-—has a great deal
more of the moral support of the
good ple than,_he ought to have.
1f heEe alone, he would wind up
his buMiness. - :
The sarge volume of liquor traffici
in viofatign of the law is done with |
the oplrator under the .impression |
that hi has the backing of the peo

crime in any age or clime is through

WU TING FANG
Dr. Wu Ting Fang who died in Can
ton yesterday was active in bringing
reforms to China and he favored the
“open door’ pblicy. His ispirit of
progress was gymbolized in a memor
jal he presented to the imperial
throne favoring the abolition of the
queue. A number of prominent
Chinese gathered at Wu’s. home and
publicly - had their queues cut off.
@ifified the fi'ork of codifying the
aws of China and instituted a num
?lah"r of legal reforms, one of which
Was jury trials.
_ The revolutionary movement be
gun in 1911+ found a strong sym-<
pathizer in Dr. Wu, who advised the
Prince Regent to abdicate. Two
years later Wu issued an appeal to
the world for recognition of the
_Chincse Republic,
Dr. Wu appreciated the {impor
tance of railways in the develop
ment of a country and he was in
strumental in having built the first
railway in China. He become the
ipromoter and chief director of the
Kai Ping Railway Company and
' later wag appointed by the imper
ial government codirector in the
Railway Bureau, constructing rail
~ways in northern China,
| Although Dr. Wu always had been
a staunch advocate of peace, in the
stormy era through which China
passed in 1917, when President Li
Yuan Hung dismissed his premier
and the cabinet for opposing a de
claration of war against Germany,
he named Wu acting premier, em
powering him to form a new cabinet
to break the deadlock and to sever
rclations with the Teutonic powers.
!Dr. Wu had been appointed Minis
ter for Foreign Affairs in Novem
ber, 1916, resigning in March, 1917,
later suggesting his government fol
low the example of the United ‘States
and break relations with Germany.
!In July, 1917, Dr. Wu gesigned as
*premier owing to ill health and it
" was believed then that his retire
ment would be permanent, as the
republic had weathered the most
serioug erises. .
~ Dr. Wu was born in Singapore in
1842, Te was educated in the Chinese
classics at Canton and studied En
glis}{ at ‘Hong Kong. He enrolled as
a student at Lincoln’s Inn, L?ndon,
in 1874, where he studied infbrna
tional law and other legal subjects
two years, when he wag admitted to
practice at the English bar, He re
turned -to China in 1877, passing
through the United States, making a
study of national institution and
colleges. On his arrival at Hong'.Kong
he practiced law until 1882, when he
was appointed legal advisor and de
puty for foreign affairs at Tient
sin. On the establishment .of the
Tientsin Univergity in 1895, he was
_appointed chief director.
" In the same year he was made
:‘first secretary of the embassy pe;\cc
_missions to Japan and plenipoten
tiary for exchanging ratifications of
the peace treaty effected at Chefoo.
Wu also assisted in negotiating at
Peking the Chino-Japanese treaty of
"conlmcrce and navigation, which wag
ratified October, 1896.
In the following year he was sent
as Minister to the United States,
which post he occupied until 1902,
[-‘when he was reappointed in 1907,
later returning to China to take an
T active part in the moves that led to
' the forming of the Rebublic,
Dr. Wu contributed numerous es
says on economics and political sub
jects to leading American and Brit
ish publicationg. He lectered re
peatedly before university classes
' here and abroad and in 1900 the de
gree of LL.D. was conferred on him.
by# the sUniversity of Pennsylvar\ia.:
He was married and had several,
children.

\ CL,OSING{ POOL ROOMS pay
We have no hope of seeing all
thie human ills cured with the closing
of the pool rooms, the dance halls
and road houses. Wholesale influ
ences thrown around the pool room
might make it a desirable place for
recreation instead of a breeding
place for gamblers and erooks. All
pool rooms are not bad places——and
yet the crooks and the gamblers
makel themselyes, at home, there, .
-8 gy LY W
hout the dance hall we could
only improve the dance by impressing
the yourig man that the dance is a
place for a gentleman, not a drunken
fool 'with a cheap cheroot and the
‘fragrance of a moonshine still on his
breath, We might think more of the
‘dance ‘if the dance could be saved
from the reprobate and scoundrel.
We might settle some of the other
problems more deep-seated if we
knew how to prevent the transform
ing of the modern hotel into the low
order road house—that ig the stylel
‘now, and the hotel proprietor cane,
i.not: always help himself.
But we can require a cleanly,
! pvholesome atmosphere around and in
_these' places if we build public senti- |
ment. We want to start that in the
homes where refinement and gentle
_manly conduct are first rooted into
,the character of the young men.
Neither parénts nor young men need
expe'ct to uproot all evil, but they
an save themselves and = their
"Ariends, even though some of them
‘step off the beaten path at times
and go wrong.
The pool room with a wholesome
‘atmosphere around it is not ‘the
worst place in the world—nor s the
‘dance. We would not try to justify
them, but we have seen peaple who
pose as too good for either, and yet
do worse things than play pool or
,dance. i
“1 A PERSON WHO I 8 MAKING
" ' INFAMOUS
(From the Atlanta (ieorgian)
Carl F. Hutcheson, candidate for
the Suprior Court bench appearcd on
a platform in Atlanta Sunday along
with Cliff Walker, ecandidate for
- governor, and Judge John D,
Humphrics. They were addredsing an
'urgui;izaflion known as the Janior Or
dee of the United American .Mechan
ies. 7
This Hutchegon, in the course of
‘his specch, attacked James 'B. Nevin,
oditor of The Atanta Georgian and
Sunday American, gaying,‘‘James B.
‘Nevin i sa hireling of the Catholic
Church,’-’ : ‘
4 " . T
Hutcheson, of course is a liar and
wag' aware of the fact that 'he wns‘
lying - when he made /the statement.
‘ln giivng utterance to such a lie
about a man who, he knew, has been
seriougly ill for six weeks and who
is now ill, Hutcheson was hopetul
that some friond of Jim Nevin \voul(li
slap ‘his jaws. .
Then, in the fartherance of his am
bitions, he would be*able to address
ofher meetings and -tell how ¢“hire-
Nings of the Pope’’ had attempted to
assassinate him,
It+is upon such’ things that llutuhg;l
son and his gang wax fat.
This - Hutcheson is a -serious prob-
Tem for the people of Atlanta, after
all. Personally, Jof course, he has no
more standing = than a pole eat.
But he is fomenting a great deal of
hatred here and sooner or later this
hatred is going to mean trouble.
" In addition he is making Atlanta
a mockery and a jest. We call the
attention of the good people of this‘
city t o the following parnmap’l
which appearcd a short time ago in
The Bainbridgk Post Searchlight: |
With Carl Hutchegson on the
beneh ‘justice would be raped and
honesty destroyed.” No man would

L Ing to .thc Sfticial rolls, 385,000 form

that hag been frequently made that

! Oklahoman Praises Black-Draught,
I Having Used It “Can Safely
Say for 50 Years.”
‘ ———
| Grandfield, Okla—One of the best
| known farmers of Tilman County, Mr.
@G. W. Tisdale, who owns and manages
a wagon yard here, says: ‘
“l “have used Thedford’s Black-
Draught—l believe I can gafely say for
fifty years. -
“] was born and reared in Texas,
Freestone County, sirty-four years ago.
I have been married forty-four years.
My father used Black-Draught before I
was married, and gave it to us . . .
“For forty-four years of my married
life, it has had a place on our medi
cine shelf, and is the only laxative, or
liver medicine, we use. We use it
for torpid ‘liver, sour stomach, head
ache, indigestion .. ... I don’t think we
could get along without it, knowing
what it has done for us, and the money
it has saved. It is just as.good and re
liable today as it was when we began
its use. -My boys use it and they are
gatisfied it’s the best ‘liver medicine
they have- ever used.”
Thedford’s Black-Draught is purely
vegetable, not disagreeable to take
and acts in a prompt and natural way.
So many thousands of persons have
been benefited by the =.se of Thedford’s
Black-Draught, you should have no
hesitancy in trying this valuable old
weli-established remedy, for most liver.
