Thursday Morning, June 17, 1915. The blood of little Mary Pha jran still cries from the ground. Ye*-:, Jerome, the new county knife is very much like the Irish man’s new handle, new hack* spring and new blade, but the same old knife. In case of a little scrimmage with Germany, Mr. Wilson will find iha! the even swap of Billie Ili-van for Toddy Roosevelt was rr.t such a bad trade after all. A loro with the balance of the weekly pro s gang, we hasten to congratulate Editor McGill of the Lyons Provpv.s on recently be coming th- editor and proprietor of a wife.

The final triumph of temper ance in Georgia is of far more importance to the women of the Utah- than a chance to come down from the high and holy pedestal up-ai which mere man has placed In : to join in the rabble of poli ties and cast ballots. lb aidless of all past political at'i.lad ions, no Georgian can read tli jita of Ex-Governor Brown so ai -t commutation in the Frank c without a clear understand -11 if the safety in standing up a.; .rely for the principles laid <h n in the constitution and st list the surrender of law to si .cuing sentimentality. Not for Revenue Only. We liiul these chunks of wis dom in the Atlanta Georgian: “A newspaper worthy of an intelligent and honest constituen cy cun not afford to falter in its conception of the right, no mat ter what tin- result of its activi ties may be. ft ft ft ft “A newspaper seeking to be an honest newspaper must adhere to principle, though the heavens fall. “The smallest weekly news paper in Georgia that speaks its mind fairly, frankly and freely is of more vital and compelling influence than the greatest daily that trims and dodges, that mis represents and lies for temporary advantage. ft ft ft “The friendship of a newspa per to a community isn’t worth a cent to that community if it exploitsand proclaims that friend ship only when it is sure it is carrying and fetching with those who temporarily may hold the reins of power and authority.” Vote by Petition Should Not Defeat our Laws. In his plea before Governor Slaton against the commutation of Frank’s sentence, Ex-Gov. Brown made some strong points. Among other unanswerable ar guments, he advanced this: “The great chart of our rights and duties provides away for the legislature to enact laws, and for the judiciary to construe them and determine the applica tion of justice under them: but it provides no way for the exec utive department to take a vote by petition among the people of Georgia and of other states for the evasion or defeat of those laws, noway for supplanting jus tice by sympathy. No one is more aware than your excellency of the worthlessness of petitions signed w ithout the sanctity of an oath, as against the requirements of the constitution.” ► Gleanings From 3 \ Wisdom’s Field. 3 ► 4 •AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA Valdosta Times: Mr. Bryan turned upon his warm friend, Champ Clark, and after pledging him support and after going to Baltimore with instructions from that state for Clark. President Wilson ought to have been afraid of his friendship. Macon News: When they first return from the honeymoon, if hubby stays out until nine o’clock she thinks married life is a fail ure. But a few years later she is satisfied if he sneaks in as the clock is striking the hour of mid night. Savannah Press: For our part we believe Jack Slaton has the courage, political, physical and moral to give the final just word in the Frank case. Lyons Progress: The honora ble John R. Cooper wants to take away from the judges some of the power they have in sentenc ing prisoners. If he had his way he would probably prefer to do away with judges entirely. Brunswick Banner:—The Uni ted States government has told eight thousand clerks to pay their hills or quit their jobs. What’s the use of working if you must pay what you earn for what you owe? Perry Home Journal:—ln his efforts to maintain peace with honor, President Wilson has at tained the rare distinction of be ing a wise and courageous states man and truthful diplomat. Greensboro Herald-Journal: Greennville, Ga., is bragging ov er having sixteen widows. Why, Greensboro has forty-five wid ows and thirty old maids. Come on, ye bachelors and widowers. Pembroke Enterprise:—lf the Legislature will meet this time, hear the message of the govern or and see the new governor in augurated, and adjourn, they will do the state a favor that won’t he forgotton soon. Telfair Enterprise:—The Geor gia bankers at a recent meeting in Savannah tabooed wines at their banquet. Old booze seems destined to oblivion. Pretty soon we expect to hear that “joy wa ter” will he completely ostracised from high society. Lee County Journal:- Georgia has gathered the largest grain crop in her history, and the pros pects are fine for the largest crop of hogs ever known within her borders. Monroe Advertiser: To our de linquent subscribers: You need not be scared. Come on in and pay us that dollar: there’s no war zone established around our of fice and a German submarine hasn’t been seen for several days. Darien Gazette: —The boy clubs continue to add to their member ship. When a hoy joins the corn club, why, he is doing something worthy of emulation. Claxton Enterprise:—No doubt the allies are tickled over the resignation of Secretary of State Bryan. However, the United States is a long, long ways from actively joining the war. Atlanta Journal: —With 950,- 000,000 bushels of wheat in pros pect. and some of it in the South, there is no danger of a food shortage in the United States, war or no war. Savannah News:—Of course it is too early to say whether or not Mr. Bryan has knocked himself into a “cocked hat.” THE MONTGOMERY MONITOR—THURSDAY, JUNE 17 1015 Satisfactory Substitute. Two Scotsmen were staying at the commercial hotel in a Welsh town w hen rhev discovered that the wash stand in their room was innocent of soap, says the Cardiff Western Mail. They rang the bell and the attendant arrived to ask what they wanted. “Sen up sape, lad; a wee bit sape, quick!” said one. The at tendant gazed at the two men of strange tongue and muttered to himself. “They’re not French, nor Dutch, nor Russian. What can they want?” One of the Scots grew impa tient. “Mon,” he thundered, “can ye no understand plain Scotch?” The attendant promptly with drew and returned with a bottle of Highland dew and two glasses. Atlanta Constitution:—After a while England will take second thought and give her battleships modest names that may not at tract submarines. The Mount Vernon Abstract Co.

Ne-b., ■writes: "I have used Foley Kidney' Pills for backache, the result of catching cold which settled In my hack. Foley Kidney Pills always give me prompt relief and I can cheerfully recom mend them." The reason Foley Kidney Pills act *o satisfactorily Is because they neu tralize and dissolve the poisonous waste matter that remains In the blood because the kidneys do not do their work properly in filtering and casting out from the system uric achl and other poisons. Relief usually follows In a few days and such symptoms as pain in the sides or bark, stiff joints, sore muscles, rheumatism, too frequent action of the bladder at night, and other painful and annoying ailments disappear.
