SENATOR GEORGE'S POSITION.
There has been no little discussion
of the failure of Senator George of
Georgia. Senator Trammell of Flori
da, Senator Heflin of Alabama, and
Senator Sheppard of Texaa to vote
for the confirmation of the President’)
appointment of Pierce Butler, of 8t.
Paul, to the Supreme Court of the
United States. The confirmation
made by a vote or 81 to 8. these four
and LaFollette of Wisconsin. Brook-
hart of Iowa, Xorbeck of South Dako-
and Norris of Nebraska voting
against it.
The report from Washington Is In
■fleet that the Ku Klux Klan has been
making a valiant effort by telegrams
letters to prevent the confirms-
on the ground that Butler, al
though a Democrat, is a Catholic and
therefore Is not available as a member
f this supreme tribunal. Despite
his effort the Senate made the ap-
lointment and Mr. Butler will take

Is rather a surprise that Senator
Ke voted against the appoint-
. Senator Harris is reported as
oting. his statement being in ef
feet that be was desirous of securing
the appointment for a Southern
ind that the refusal to sanction the
ippointment or a Democrat was t
protest against the section in whlcl
Butler lived and at the same time i
•minder that the South should bi
honored in this tribunal.
George was elected, accord
ing to rumor, by the balance of pow-
wllded by the followers of Tom
itson. violently antl-Cathollc. and
the Ku Klux Klan. The vote of Mr.
hows that he Is aware of
that, and is In sympathy with
t to Introduce religion into
politics. We do not believe that It
was entirely a religious* conviction oi
that It was dictation from the forcei
that brought about his election. I:
:hat I’le the case he has more than
neasured swords with the political
dde of the question. We are inclined
:o credit him with voting his convic
tions on the merit of the man rather
than his religion or any coercion that
religious or corrective agencies In his
home state might have dictated.
I At any rate It Is the first vote he has
! made by which he could be properly
i Judged In matters of that kind. Sen-
lator Harris* position Is different. He
I offers a reason, tame as it may seem.

Suppose that someone came along
and presented a plant that would do
all that cotton can do and more. Sup
pose U was demonstrated even
partial way that there was opporunl-
ty to improve on cotton, would It be
acceptable? There are thousands of
people In the South who realise
cotton, because it Is a staple Indige
nous or at least only completely real
isable as an agricultural asset In tbs
South. If a substitute was evolved,
the cotton Industry might be com
pletely overthrown.
There Is a staple of the thistle fam
ily that Is attracting attention In
Georgia and elsewhere by reason of
certain chemical processes whereby
the fibre can be made into n staple
that closely resembles cotton and yat
Is of fins texture and long staple, both
of the necessary qualities of the most
profltabla cotton. This Is ramie,
about which this country and the
world is shortly to hear si lot, unless

HE 8POKE THE JRUTH.
Milkaukee Is said to be the hotbed
of anti-prohibition and violations of
very open and rebellious character
e said to be quite frequent. The
sderal Court recently had a few
cases of the usual type, the small and
loffensive violator, brought by Fed
a] officers, and In discussing them,
Judge Pape delivered the following
trong statement:
“You let saloons run wide open
throughout the city, selling moon
shine and other liquor to any one
You a
able to find these public places,
but you seem to be adept at find
ing some poor widow or some or
dinary citizen who has a ‘htpper’
for his own use," said the Judge.
This sort of thing seems to be the
>mmon heritage of the weak and
Tensive in the prohibition movement
throughout the country. It Is
itlonably true In many sections of
the South where Judges have frequent
ly called to the attention of Juries the
islty of the impartial administra
tion of the law nnd the necessity for
punishing the men higher up, at well
as the poor bedraggled negro,

This law will not stand such en
forcement methods as no other law
will. The Federal forces In Wiscon
sin are evidently winking the wrong
eye. They have hauled up a number
of very small offenders while the
flagrant violations go untouched. This
Is not right nor Is it legal. The chargi
o; Judge Pape must hare stung vio
lently when It was properly digested.
It may. however, fall to change af
fairs, for public sentiment has a li
to do with how the officers enforce
the i*w, whether In Wisconsin or
Georgia.

LET THE FREEH AIR IN
Pneumonia has begun ita harvest al
ready, with all of winter yet ahead.
This should serve as a warning nnd
should stimulate one to take precau
tionary and preventative measures.
Pneumonia Is n cold weather disease,
though cold weather la not the cause
of It. Respiratory diseases Increase in
cold weather at n result of overheated
and Inaufflclently ventilated houses
and offices; because we rigidly
elude all fresh air and bake all of the
moisture out of the air which
breathe; because vte permit the vitali
ty of the body to be lowered by
eating and the lack of exercise in the
outdoor air. In other words, the chief
cause of pneumonia and the lesser res
piratory troubles is our fear of freBb
air.
Excessively dry air Is pneumonia’!
most efficient aid. and baked winter
atmosphere is one of the cardinal sins
r people. The high temperatures
maintained In homes, offices and hi
tela Is notorious, and it is unusual
when precautions to Insure a proper
moisture content In the atmosphere
taken. It is a crime against human
nature to sleep In air tight heated
rooms at night, as so many peop!
an equally grave offense n
have adequate ventilation during the
daylight hours.
Keeping the windows tightly closed
i save fuel is poor economy. In fact,
la no economy at all. and the doc-
irs* and the druggists’ bill testify. In
the treatment of tuberculosis, pneu
monia and other respiratory diseases
fresh air—the open air—la considered
Invaluable. If fresh air is good for the
alck why Is It not also good for thi
well?
Dr. Royal S. Copeland, health com
missloner of the city of New York, and
senator-elect from the state of New
York, In some remarks on the subject
of fresh air and pneumonia recalled
rite saying that the greatest
mies of good health are over-heating
and over-eating. "This is the truth
common sense." says Dr. Cope
land. "Overstoklug the furnace and
rerstoking the human machine make
>r Inefficiency."
Open the windows and let the fresh
nlr In! If It is not feasible to keep
window open continually open the
wide occasionally, and thus change the
atmQsphere of the house or the office.
What If it does take a little more
money for coal? The added cost will
be repaid In better health and In great
er freedom from annoying colds and
dsnger of the dreaded pneumonia.
Fresh air is humanity’s best friend.
It costs nothing. Do not shun it.
therefore, but ratber Invite its blessed
ministry.—Dawson News.
DOUGLA8 At A WINTER RESORT
If Douglas can be advertised as a
winter resort, and people can be con
vinced of the proposition, enough sc
that they will spend their winters here,
then certainly a atrenuoua effort along
this Una by the Douglas Klwanls Club
will be worth while.
There Is no getting away from thi
fact that the climate of Douglas, evei
during the most severe winters, Is
equal to. If not better than that of
Thomasvllle, and that dty la known
far and wide throughout the North ns
as splendid winter resort, and people
flock there every winter season.
