THE LEADER-ENTERPRISE, FRIDAY, APRIL 26 1912
| s 1
i Modern Berces.
: By Aruonte E. . Jonss.
i . SO
In this day of commercialism and
‘he-mad rush for the almighty dol
.ar, we are prone to believe that the
tays of heroes and of the brave
{ecdds have passed.- Such is not the
ase. When oceasion dermunds, or
I\':J(:uzzntun(:es ‘arise - when strong
arms and brave souls are needed,
he skulking coward is the excep
ion and not the rule. Helpless wo
nen and children are cared for as
eudecrly as in the “brave davs of
yore.” Should our country be cvad
«d by a foreign fog, then would be an
irmy of patriotic and brave volun
teers sufficient to crush even ("aesar
ind his famou: legions.
When we contemplate that gigan
tic horror. the sinking of the Titanic,
‘he only consoling thought is that so
many men and women, too, went to
death shrouded in a mantle of glory.
Bravest among the brave was the
gallant Major Butt, who thought not
of self, but of the women and child
dren aboard. How strikingly
sppropriate for him and for many
others on the ill-fated ship, are the
following lines from Beffal:
~ “T hope that when it comes time
for me to pass out from this great
stage of ever-changing scene, I may
give up my life in the service of
some fellow man. I hope when
| Dgath comes to me, it will be in an
‘hour when I have helped to strike
‘the shackles from some one who
struggles in the abyss. And I shall
want no tears.”
| In the humble walks of life we
‘have heroes around. Thank God for
every brave, unselfish soul! How
often do we hear of a brave engi
neer drying at his post, trying to
save the passengers on his train!
That grand old hero, T. T. Buckalew,
could have easily put on steam and
pulled his engine across the threstle
and saved himeelf, but . he thought
of his train, of the passengers, and
he died with his hand on the throt
tle. There may not be monuments
of bronze or marble record to such
§heroes, but the people will not for
-Iget them. They will be cherished
in tender and loving hearts. His
tory may not record the deeds of
such men, but they leave “foot
prints on the sands of time” that
no wave or wind can wash away.j!
The women of today are just as
noble, pure and sweet as in any
epoch of the past, and the men just
as brave and heroic. Manners and
custon 8 change, but noble charac
teristics wiil live on forever in the
heartofman. ‘“God made man after
His own imagine and in His own
likeness,” and when the test comes
that tests men’s souls, the God-given
traits arise and meet every emer
gency calmly and gloriously.

WO engines may look
‘ " equally good, may even
T, work equally well for a
time. In the end one proves
satisfactory, the other becomes
a nuisance. Why? ! :
The satisfactory engine 1s
onc that is carcfully built,
and thoroughly tested.
Thorcugh testing takes time
and costs money. . It means
careful adjustment under trying
conditions. It is an expensive
process, but a necessary one if
the finished engine is to be
dependable.

No engine leaves the factory
until it has proved itself thor
oughly dependable, = That is
reason enough for buying an
IHC engine. Itisagood buy
because it is dependable—it is
dependable because it is thor
oughly tested. If you want en

come go to the local dealer and

It is the safe way and by far
the cheapest in the long run.

PEOPLE ARE BEING GOUGED
Convincing Figures Taken From Gov
ernment Reports and Prepared
by the Best Authority in
the World.
In order.that the people of Georgia
might realize just how the cost of
living has increased on account of
the high tariff, the Georgia TUnder
wood campaign committee secured
from Mr. Daniel C. Roper, tariff ex
pert for the ways and means commit
tee 'of the house of representatives, a
statement showing the cost of staple
groceries, clothing and other neces
sities of life in 1900 and 1912; also
what the cost would be in case: the
Underwood tariff bills are adopted.
The following table is taken from the
government reports for the Yyears
1900 and 1912:
1900. 1912,
EnEan e b s e 5 6
U e R N 26
Ham: o 0 0 b 20
Hlour (barfel ™., .. ... ..4.76 « 7.40
Butter (pound) .. .. .. 28 41
Meal, (DECK). . »oiin: «n 1132 50
ard .. oaa e 23
If the Underwood tariff laws went
into effect, these necessities would be
20 per cent. less in most cases and
30 to 40 per cent. less in other cases.
On cotton goods, such as domestic,
calico and gingham, there would be
a reduction from 42 to 24 per cent,
so that a 100-bolt of domestic now
costing $8 would sell for $6.50. Like
wise a suit of clothes now costing
$l5 would sell for $12.50 and a pair
of shoes now costing $3 would sell
for $2.60. A hat now costing $2 would
sell for $1.50. The reduction is pro
posed in medicine and medical com
pounds from 10 to 25 per cent.
If these tariff bills reducing the
duty on wool, cotton, medicines, chem
icals and placing food products, in
cluding sugar, on the free list, togeth
er with agricultural implements, had
become a law, more than seven hun
dred and forty millicn dollars would
be saved to the American people an
nually.
The foregoing statements were pre
pared by Mr. Danie! C. Roper, tariff
expert for the ways and means com
mittee of the house. Mr. Taft vetoed
Mr. Underwood's bills. The way to
get the bills a2pproved is to beat Mr.
Tatt 2
Question: Who is the logical man,
to beat him with? 77 :
Answer: Tnderwood, the man who
drew the bille that Taft vetoed.
WILLJ. R. SHITH
ENTER RAGE
FOR GOVERNOR
OTHER CANDIDATES RESENT THE
WAY HE IS BEING GROOMED
BY WILSON MEN.
Friends cf Hudson, Slaton and Hail
! Don’t Like It.
Atlanta, ~Ga., April 27. It is
believed here that Mr. J. R. Smith
will ‘enter the race for gov
ernor against J. M. Slaton, Tom Hud
son and Joe Hill Hall. Men well
versed in politics say that the promi
nence which the Wilson followers are
giving him can mean nothing else.
It is not believed that he will an
nounce prior to the primary on May
1. The Atlanta Constitution publish
ed a group picture of Hoke Smith, J.
R. Smith and Woodrow Wilson, which
lent considerable color to the rumor
that J. R. Smith will be in the race.
At any rate, he does not deny it.
Should Governor Wilson carry Geor
gia, it is thought Mr. Smith would
announce. The friends of the other
candidates do not look with favor
upon the line-up, and as a result any
one of them will support Underwood
rather than assist Mr. Smith by vot
ing for Wilson, so that the attempt
on the part of the Wilson men to in
ject state politics into the presiden
tial campaign is proving a boomer
ang.
WHY BRYAN iBS
STUMPING THE SOUTH.
" Hon. W. J. Bryan has been chosen
a delegate-atlarge from the state of
Nebraska for Hon. Champ Clark, yet
Mr. Bryan is stumping Georgia and
Florida, making speeches in favor of
Hon. Woodrow Wilson. :He is try
ing to get as many votes as possible
for Mr. Clark in the West and as
many as possible for Mr. Wilson in
the South, so that neither will be
able to get the necessary two-thirds
of the convention, and then when the
convention is deadlocked, -he will be
gin a lusty neighing in the dark
horse stable. A vote for Wilson is
therefore a vote for Bryan. We have
given Mr. Bryan three chances, and
we have gone to defeat every time.
Let’s give some other man a chance.
Why not Underwood?
