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 Double dealing Is worst than dou ble crossing, although It’s about the same In the long run. Husbands may be entitled to holi day evenings, but not the kind they When she is as good as she looks, you ««n look at her twice without feel ing ashamed of yourself. The silence that Is golden Is that which Indicates a desire to be right rather than prominent. 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. | Senator George votes against a Dem ocrat on the first skirmish and is lined up with the recalcitrant and radical element led by LaFollette. What the eaning of it all is may be solved time and It may not We all have the right to question bis motives, and It will unquestionably result in a plain statement from him as to bis reasons. Until then we may hope that It not as It Is claimed. Watch the Mer Rouge comments In the northern papers along with the Herrin Massacre talk.

This Mre toss avoided By follow- ths government's teftmetion* half heartedly. „ Cottou has been king of or many years and yet It has been but a short time comparatively alnce the cotton gin was invented whereby the usefulness of the staple | Ized to Ita fullest extent. The world | was quick to recognise Its values and I invention after invention has been put forth to realise Its potential worth to the human race 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 ths dreams of some experimenters go far wrong. The ramie Is ft weed of the thistle ta»Hy end can be grows very prolific- •Uy In this section of Georgia. Its •UJk Is mastyd and the fibres taken out.

The Tlmes-Eaterprlse carries short statemen tof the ramie possibili ties prepared by Wm. F. Turner, this city, and sent to 8. O. McLendon, in Atlanta. It Is a topic of Intense interest and its development Is being eagerly watched by many people, whose eyes are turned toward the de velopment of anything that will bring more wealth to the world and espe cially to the producer. Ramie may be discovery that will atartle the whole rorld If the process of decortication ii successful and If the fibre proves daptable to the usages that cotton s now put to. Who knows what will ome of it? The world Is prepared for nythlng in this age of most wonder ful Inventions and discoveries. This may be one that will oust King Cot- -ou) his throne. 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, his a Half pint on his hip or who sells a pint now and then, when the that makes and sells It by the gallon scot, free from one cause c othe 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. Douglas Enterprise. There are still n lot of folks who aren't keen about laughing at Fatty Arbuckle on the screen, and probably i‘t do so.
