THE OBSCURE MR. HOOVER.
Whenever the United States senate indulges in the luxury of
m executive session from which the more public and the reporters
1 kept out some misrepresentative can be rclid upon to display
as a pluperfect ass.
Our American house of lords had a gabfest the other day in
which it relieved itself of some of the spleen it has been cherish
ing against the president, the press and the public. One master
E mind spoke of Herbert C. Hoover as “a man who had emerged
from obscurity only a short time ago and whom the administra
tion now wants to make a food dictator.”
Long before the war, it just so happens that Hoover had
made himself one of the master mining engineers of the world,
with an income far beyond that of most of the jackleg lawyers
who are now accidentally sitting in our senate. Wherever the en
gineers who were doing the world’s big work foregathered, Hoover
was known and admired and welcomed.
But it was the war which gave him his splendid opportunity
Dropping his own life’s work and the big emoluments it brought
him, he devoted himself without reserve and without pay to the
Christ-like service of feeding and clothing 11,000,000 Belgians and
Frenchmen.
In all the history of civilization there has been no job like it
and in all history no such job was ever carried on with greater
smoothness, swiftness, economy, efficiency and honesty. No his
tory of the war can ever be written without devoting pages of
glowing praise to Herbert C. Hoover. His name will be known and
honored when the nonentities in our present senate have become
nothing but names of those who once for a brief space held office.

HIGHER EDUCATION MUST NOT SUFFER
Tomorrow marks the closing of the University of Georgia for
the year 1916-17. Despite the fact that the ranks of the classes
were somewhat broken on account of many of the students report
ing to the various training camps, the scholastic year has been
indeed a successful one. The reports of the different boards and
committees are encouraging and with a large class graduating and
the underclasses filled to a large number there is no reason why
the next.year should not also be a good one for the University, as
well as the other educational institutions located in Athens.
The war situation must not handicap the educational inter-
- cst of-the country and the colleges should exert every effort to re
turn full class roles for the next year. There can be no sound rea
son for demoralization in the ranks of the higher colleges for the
demand for trained men is greater today than ever. It will be
this way as long as the war lasts and will continue even after
wards in a more intensified way.
Ev^ry student, every member of the faculties and the mem
bers of the (f|f{ejetit boards should carry this on? message back
home and wage an effective campaign for the young men and wo
men of the country, “Send the boys and girls to college just as if
there were no war.”
YOU CAN’T BETRAY OUR NEIGHBOR.
Whenever George Bernard Shaw, the eminent Irish dramatist
and socialist, makes a thrust he,usually has something to say
that is well worth listening to and it matters not whether you like
his dramas or disagree with his politics he compels your atten
tion.
He went to the trenches and this is what he wrote:
"When war overtakes you, you must fight, and fight to win,
whether you are the aggressor or the aggrieved, whether you
loathe war as the kingdom of hell on earth or regard it as the nur
sery of all the virtues.
“It Is not that you must defend yourself or perish; many a
man would be too proud to fight on these terms. You must de
fend your neighbor or betray him; that is what gets you.”
We think Shaw put it well. And what goes for the soldier
goes for the nation. That’s why we are at war. We couldnt’ be
tray humanity.

Atlanta, Ga., June 19.—Atlanta is
going to be a clean town when the
government assembles 40,000
cruits at the concentration camp here
to train them for ftghtiftg in France.
Uncle Sam himself has announced
that the city must be clean, and the
county and city authorities have an
nounced their intention of cooperat
ing with him.
The first step in the clean-up cam
paign in preparation for the coming
of the soldiers was taken early yes
terday morning when the police
raided a large aprtment house in
the downtown section and hauled out
the guests of an upstairs hotel near
the terminal station. These will be
followed at frequent intervals until
every establishment' of doubtful
character has been put out of busi
ness.
Three commissioners sent here by
the war department have called in
the county and city authorities and
notified them that Atlanta must be
cleaned up. They have stated that
unless Atlanta u cleaned up, the gov
eminent will either move the concern
tration camp or place the city under
marshal law. Of course Atlanta has
no intention of losing the concentra
tion camp, and the local authorities
will therefore cooperate with the rep
resentatives of the war department.
Soldiers on he fighting line must be
in the best of physical condition.
They are like football players in
training. To expose recruits in the
concentration camp to the perils of
.women, wine and cards would be dis
astrous. Hence the government is
determined that gamblers, blind ti-
gers and women of bad repute shall
not sojourn in reach of them. . j

New York, June 19.—'Miss Honora
May O’Brien was today granted
$225,000 damages in her breach of
promise suit brought against aged
John R. Manning.
The decision of the jury which
heard the evidence in the strange
case of the 28-year-old “Irish Rose 1
against the 85-year-old millionaire
was announced when the sealed ver
dict was opened before Judge Crop
sey.
Two hundred thousand dollars of
the award was for the sufferings of
the Irish Rose because her courtship
with the old gentleman was dragged
through the public prints and the
marriage balked; and the other $26,-
000 represented .the price the jury
figured the old man ought to pay be
cause he was so “smart” in his ans
wers on the witness stand.
The $200,000 award was termed
“damages” and the $25,000 “punitive
damages.” The jury estimated that
Manning’s “smart” answers damaged
Miss O’Brien $25^000 worth.
The pretty complainant was not in
jourt. She went to work as usual to-
lay as secretary to a New York
newspaper man.
Manning, the 84-year-old wooer
who feigned palsy and decreptitude
to win the sympathy of the jury
against Miss Honora May, led all his
relatives in a spry sprint for a taxi
to get away from the courtroom as
soon as he heard the verdict. His
face twitched when the verdict was
fc~ read, but his Irish smile didn’t up
pear.
Argument on a motion for appeal
of the case will be heard Wednesday.
Miss Mary Manning and Dr. John
Manning, daughter and son of the
Octogenerian hope-wrecked, accom
panied him to court. None of them
would comment on the verdict
James O’Brien, brother of Miss
Honora May O’Brien, was in court.
He said that every cent of the award
would go to his sister.

ALL RHEUMATIC PAINS
People who have been tormented
for yean—yes, even so crippled that
they were unable to help themselves
—have been brought back to robust
health through the mighty power of
Rheuma.
Rhcuma acts with speed; it brings
in a few days the relief you have
prayed for. It antagonizes the pois
ons that cause agony and pain in the
joints and muscles and quickly the
torturing soreness completely disap-
penn.
It ia a harmless remedy, but sure
and certain, because it is one discov
ery that has forced rheumatism and
sciatica to yield and disappear.
Try a 50-cent bottle of Rheuma, and
If you do not get the joyful relief you
expect, your money will be returned.
