If you love your wife and babies,

upon this forward step.

President Wilson and the
Lobbyists.
Some otherwise well-meaning
citizens are inclined to "pooh
pooh” President Wilson’s sensa
tional utterances in regard to "in
sidious lobbying” at Washington,
but the revelations of the last ten
or fifteen days, and particularly
last week, have about established
the truth and sincerity of the Pres
ident’s charges. It took a great
deal of courage for the chief ex
ecutive to come out openly with an
assertion which, along certain lines,,
must be regarded as a reflection on
the "dignity” of the Senate. To
charge in substance that the floor of
the Senate was a profitable field fr
lobbyists was indeed walking on
very thin ice, but the Senators
themselves, or at least a certain
portion of them, saved the situa
tion by entering warmly into the
investigation. It has been said
that the lobby investigation has
delayed the passage of the tariff
bill, but if there has been any de
lay, the gain will be greater in the
end.
"The real objection to the lob
by investigation,” says Harper’s
Weekly, "remaius precisely what
it was; it may cause unnecessary
and unessential delay. On the
other hand, few of us are in a po
sition to say positively that the de
lay is unnecessary or unessential
On the contrary, the final show
down on expected amendments on
the passage of the tariff bill may
prove that the President was right
and that his move was the only
The Crop Outlook in Butts
While the cotton crop in Butts
county is at this time distressingly
feeble in its appearance, the corn
crop is unusually vigorous, and
throughout the county gives prom
ise of being the best in years.
Small grain has been good, and
the peas sown recently are coming
up well. Experienced farmers say
there is no reason to be discour
aged over the cotton crop, “it
will certainly make with its pres
ent start," say they, “but will be
somewhat late. ’ ’
Those, who are inclined to take
an optimistic view of the cotton
situation point to the experience of
1911, when at this time of the year
there was less reason to expect a
crop than there is now. Out of the
poorest chance in years in 1911,
the greatest yield in the country’s
history came.
Parcel Post Progress.
A growth of 10,000,000 parcels
a month affords evidence of the
increasing popularity of the parcel
post. The C. O. I). privilege,
effective July 1, will further stimu
late the service. Abolition of the
parcel post stamps and privi
lege of depositing parcels wherever
mail matter may be deposited are
lurther concessions that are bound
to come. The enlargement of postal
savings banks into postal checking
banks is another entirely practical
reform which would benefit the
patrons of the parcel post and all
classes of the people. The adop
tion of checking in connection with
postal banks would be a great
blessing aside from the facilities it
would give for adjusting parcel
post accounts. It would promote
economy by taking cash from the
pockets of the people, where it is
too easily expended. The jxostoffice
in the village is the one place where
everybody is known and where
identification is not needed.
By all means let the postal sav
ings banks and the parcel post
serve the people in every possible
way. That is what they are for.

way to hold in line enough votes
to reject dangerous amendments
and to get the bill into conference
substantially unaltered and in
shape to fulfill Democratic pledges
and test the low-tariff theory.
Senator Townsend, of Michigan,
Republican, has given interesting
support to this view of the matter.
He has declared that the President,
by his statement in reference to the
lobby, has held in line Democrats
who might otherwise have voted
against certain main provisions of
the bill, if not against the measure
as a who’e. In other words, he
has indicated his belief that the
President's action may have saved
the bill from mutilation or defeat.”
So that it would seem that the
end justified the means when the
President invited the fire of his
most bitter opponents. He himself
was called a lobbyist, but if Presi
dent Wilson’s warfare against
questionable interests can be called
lobbying, it is an example to be
emulated.
A Good Resolution.
The Council of the Protestant
Episcopal Church of the Lexing
ton, Ky., diocese several weeks
ago adopted a resolution which, if
lived up to by the clergymen of all
denominations, and no other per
sons were permitted to perform the
marriage ceremony, would benefit
mankind and save the human race
untold suffering.
The resolution is to the effect
that the clergy of that diocese will
be justified, before performing the
marriage rite, to require of the
man desiring to be married a cer
tificate from a reputable physician
that he has had no communicable
disease of immoral origin.
The result of such a proposition,
if generally adopted, would be to
make men more correct in their
habits aud prevent the contami
nated from transmitting diseases to
his unfortunate offspring to suffer
through life with those ailments
which are inherited from immoral
fathers.
Immoral and licentious men, who
have ruined themselves by indul
gence, should not be permitted to
* %
further contaminate the human
race. We pay great attention to
the breeding of horses and other
favored animals, but little if any
to the human race. It ought not
to be so, and when the change
comes as suggested by the Episco
pal Council, a more vivid and per
fect race of men and women will
inhabit the earth. Men made in
the image of their Maker should
not be consumptives, paralytics,
deformed or otherwise diseased,
and they would not be so if they
and their parents led proper lives.

Fine Remedy
For Eczema
Also for Salt Rheum, Tetter,
Psoriasis, Lupus, and All
Skin Afflictions.
All skin troubles should be attacked
from within by giving the blood cir
culation a good daily bath. This is
accomplished with S. S. S., the best
known and most highly recommended
blood purifier ever discovered. Its
action is very rapid. Its vegetable
nature is such that it naturally goes
right into the blood, saturates the
entire circulation, bathes the tissues
with an influence that enables the
skin to heal quickly. The action of
S. S. S. is that of an antidote, and
this fact has been demonstrated time
and time again in the most severe
forms of weeping eczema.
Its influence in the tissues where
the tiny arteries transfer the red
blood for the worn out blood to the
veins is quite remarkable and goes on
constantly with every tick of the
clock—the beat of the heart
And new skin is thus caused to form
while the germs of irritating influ
ences that cause eczema are scattered
and their harmful nature entirely
Suspended.
S. S. S. has a wonderful tonic In
fluence in the blood because it con
tains no "dope,” is not a physic. Is
entirely free of any mineral drugs or
any other drugs except the remark
able medicinal effect of the pur© vege-i
table products of which it is made.
Few people realize how harmful are
many of the strong, crude ointments
that used to be in favor before they
learned that S. 8. S. is safe, speedy
and sure. Ask at any drug store for
a bottle of 8. 8 8. Olve It a good
trial and you will soon see a decided
