SPLIT TOPPED OFF JACKSON |
pAY MEET OF DEMOCRATSI
AND CHARGED AIR WITH PO
LITICAL ELECTRICITY.
e
WASHINGTON, D. C.—A split be
tween President Wilson and William
J. Bryan over whether the league of
nations chould be made an issue at
the coming election topped off the
Jackson day deliberations of the
democratic party chiefs.
It came at the Jackson dinner, &as
the climax of a day in which San
Francisco had been chosen as the
meeting place of the democratic na
tional convention on June 28th, and
it charged the air with political elec
tricity.
president Wilson, in his letter read
to the diners, declared that the ‘“clear
and single way out’” was to submit the
question to the voters as “a great and
solemn referendum.”
Mr. Bryan, showing all the old
time vigor with which he led the fight
for the president’s nomination at Bal
timore in 1912, assailed President
Wilson’s pesition and declared him
slf utterly opposed to having the
treaty made an issue in the next cam
paign. He said the democratic party
could not go before the country on
the issue, because it involved a delay
of fourteen months, and meant suc
cess only if the democrats captured
a two-thirds majority of the senate.
The party, Mr. Bryan declared, must
Gsecure such compromises as may be
possible.”
Wilson and Bryan Disagree. |
The disagreement between the
president and his former secretary
of state, the first in public view since
Mr. Bryan left the cabinet because
he did agree with the president’s
course in the diplomatic negotiations
with Germany, was thus disclosed as
s fact although it had been rumored
and reported in the underground
currents of national politics.
The president’s message said noth
ing whatever about a third term for
him<elf and neither did it say even
by implication or intimation that he
would not be a candidate, as had been
widely forecast. Most all of the pres
ident’'s message was devoted te an
expression of his argument of why
he considered it the duty of the Unit
ed States to join in the leagme of
nations covenant and why he consid
ered the war not really won amtil it
did,
Lost Ail Elections,
Bryan warned his hearers *'to for
get the past and loek to the future.”
He said that in spite of all the ideals
of the president, of which the preced
ing speakers had mmmde so much, the
democratic party had lost in all the
clections since the president -had
enunciated them. He declared that de
spite the glorious record which was
pictured for the first four years of
Wilson’s administration the party
would have been defeated in 1916 if
it had not been far the votes of the
women.
These uiterances by Bryan were
not part of the set speech which -he
had prepared for :the -accasien. The
remarks were impremptu .and were
inspired, ne doubt, by the president’s
letter and the eagerness witk which
Palmer ané the afhers had echoei
the president’s demand for earrying
the treaty izsue to the polls.
After the demonstration whi¢h
orceted his introduction hadl died
away Bryan said:
Has Nothing ‘to Ask. :
“You are inspired, no doukt, :in
giving attention becsuse you .think
vou are not hearing from a canfiidate
or from one who is nat going to be a
candidate. Passibly because T ‘have
nothing to ask of you 3 -may be more
free to speak ghan those who_have
preceded me. 1 speak from gratitade.
I am living evidence that republics
are not ungrateful, for the republic
has heen very generous Zo me, ang I
am going to pay it back in install
ments. And I am here tonight to pay
back the first installment by sayim
that in the coming campaign we musf
look to the fnture snd not 4 the past
“All the ideals @f whi¢ch we have
heard tonight were ideals that were
ziven to the world long before the
last election, and yet at that election
we were not sucecessfal.
“When we remember the anathe
mas with which we have denounced
the republicans for seven months’ de
lay,” he said, referring to the treaty,
“what will be our answer to Esrope
now 1f we delay for another fourteen
months while we consult the Amerl
can penple?” |
“If 1 know the Ameriean people,”
he continued, “they will never trams
fer to any foreign nation the nght!\
to say when our boys shall be cen
seripted.” ¢ |
“I may possibly say some things
that you may not like to hear, but,
I am going 40 say them because of
my love of my party and my country.l
And 1 yield to no man in the country |
n my loyalty and my love for my
party, . |
Gave a Mighty Cheer. :
These last words were uttered In
a powerfil voiee and with a flashm,g
of the eye, which betokened Bryan’s
Intense earnestness, and the audience
gave him a mighty cheer. It was the
end of his impromptu speech, and be
fore beginning his formal address he
€xplained that it was prepared long
before he knew the contents of the
President’s letter. He added:
“Therefore, whatever difference
there may appear to be between my-
Self and the president regarding the
Mmatters of which he has written were
ot premeditated, for I had no way
f knowing what his letter was to
Contain.” :

“It brought 10 cents a gallon more
than any other syrup sold there,”
said Dr. Alsberg. “The manufacture
costs only a little more brains and
a little more pams than that of other
syrup.”

DAWSON, GA., TUESDAY EVENING, JANUARY 13, 1920
GOVERNMENT OFFICIAL SAYS A |
SUDDEN DROP WOULD BE '
| CAUSE OF HARDSHIPS. i
. WASHINGTON, D. C.—No pros-!
pect of any considerable fall in prices
for several years to come is seen by
Royal Meeker, commissioner of labor
statistics and head of the bureau
which collects information on the
trend of prices used by the govern-.
ment in official negotiations concern
ing wages and similar questions. He
recommended a monetary unit of val
ue to replace the present units of
weight.
“People generally are yearning so
intently for lower prices that they
have not thought much about the re
sults of falling prices,” Mr. Meeker
said. “The prices we kicked about in
1913 have come to be regarded as
ideal. Untold distress has been caus
ed by the rapid price increases of the
last four years. The sufferings already
endured by the people through rising
prices will be multiplied tenfold if
prices drop within the next seven
years to the 1913 level. A period of
‘falling prices is always a time of bus
iness depression, failures and unem
ployment.”

“SCAB” MEMBERS OF THE FINNY
TRIBE ALLOWED TO ROT IN
BARRELS IN NORTH.
PHILADELPHIA, Pa.—A fish that
can’t show a union card is having a
hard time reaching a dinner table in
Philadelphia.
Being a union or non-union fish is
entirely a matter of chance. If the
fish is caught by a member of the
Atlantic Fishermen’s Union it is, fig
uratively, presented with union label.
Otherwise it earns the appellation of
‘“‘scab,” and finds its road to the in
evitable pot or pan almost as rocky
as the proverbial road to Dublin.
. The charge that union men are try
ing to keep non-union caught fish out
of Philadelphia was made by local fish
dealers,
Started Last Summer.
The trouble is said to have started
last summer, when Robert Jackson,
a New England fisherman, refused to
take union men on his boats. Others
took a similar stand, and the Massa
chusetts Fishermen’s Union was or
ganized. In retaliation, it is said, un
ion fish handlers and truckmen were
ordered not to touch Jackson’s catch
’es. As a result, it is said, barrels are
allowed to rot, while dealers have
{been unabe to get them.
| According to the reports we get,
'some of this fish was shipped to New
iYork. When the shippers found out
‘that the union men shere would not
ghandle it they consigned it to Phila
delphia. But union men there are do
(ing everything possible to delay it, so
that it will be unfit for use when it
|arrives here. Some fish ordered from
Nantucket was shipped back to Bos
ton and then down here.
There has been a persistent re
| port that union fishers down east and
lin New York have been keeping fish
out of Philadelphia,

iwill probably be made as soon as

Speculation runs rife here as to
!what America’s attitude will be and
whether the allies will not be glad of
‘an excuse to accept a refusal based
[on Holland’s traditions and according
to her laws and treaties.

'his mind so frequently, still feels him

ondly to his people, but from an in

|ly -giving himself up has been con
sidered. |

’ In this way the former kaiser would
be -a hero and martyr in the eyes of
the German people, and those allies
who are opposed to a trial would be
put in the awkward predicament of
having a large white elephant on their
hands.
From one who has talked with the
former kaiser within the last ten days
I learn that William has greatly
changed the last few weeks.

HERE’S A COUNTRY RUN
ENTIRELY BY WOMEN
Engaged in Every Field of Employ
‘ ment Occupied by Men.
[ HELSINGFORS.—An astonishing
'sight for the stranger in Finland is
l S
|the number of women engaged in al
‘'most every field of employment. In
England during the war one became
accustomed to the sight of women
performing various kinds of work in
‘which previously only men were en
gaged. But in Finland the visitor gets
the impression that the women are
doing everything. They even serve as
porters on sleeping cars.
Not only are they at heavy manual
work in fields and factories, but they
have become skilled as mechanies and
have invaded business offices to an
extent that is probably- undreamed of
in any other country.
Shoes Barred
American Visitors Annoy Japa
nese by Trailing Footwear Over
Tables, Says Lecturer.
Dawsonians who are contemplat
ing a trip to the “Land of Flowers,”
commonly known as Japan, must
leave their shoes at home, according
to Arthur Stanley Riggs, traveler and
lecturer, of Northport, N. Y., who
recently spoke on “Old and New
Japan.” |
According to Mr. Riggs, the Amer
icans who have been going through
Japan have been so annoying with
their large and clumsy shoes that
Japanese will no longer tolerate
American adornment of the feet. The
Japanese object to tourists walking
on their tables in the tearooms. They
say that Americans do not at home,
so they must not in Japan. Their
tables are rugs spread on the floor.
“The houses are as small as bird
cages compared to American homes,”
said Mr. Riggs. “The Japanese do not
believe in going to bed, they beligve
that the bed should come to them.
When time to retire they tell a ser
vant to bring a bed of a few blankets
before them. They do not use pillows
either, for fear that a pillow may
muss up their hair.”

WEAR SPRING HATS IN WINTER
AND VICE VERSA. THE NEW
CRAZE QUITE EXPENSIVE.
The spring hat is here and is being
worn, though only the first part of the
winter has passed and the tempera
ture promises to go lower in the next
two months. The habit of wearing
summer headgear in the winter and
heavy hats in the summer is a prac
tice that appears to be growing.
iChristmas time is really becoming the
‘turning point from winter to spring
}as far as the extremely fashionable
women are concerned.
The hats are so attractive, how
ever, that if the necessarily large
pocketbook is filled it is a great
temptation to reduce the amount in
side by a large round figure. Women
are spending money for hats in a way
that surprises even the store buyers
of millinery.
“I am actually astonished,” declar
ed one buyer, “at the way in which
money is being spent this early in the
season. The hats are expensive be
cause they represent the . exclusive
models at this time of year, but there
seems to be no hesitancy on the part
‘of women to pay the price. We sell
the hats as fast as we receive them.”
Blue Straw Is Popular.
Navy blue faille is shown as one of
the most popular materials in spring
hats. It is made up in charming
shapes and styles that show their re
cent origin and indicate that the hats
are far from being last year’s mod
els. A broad sailor of navy faille fac
ed with hand made straw braid show
}ed its distinetion by the wide stream
ers that hung through the back brim
land were made to be tossed about the
neck of the wearer. A e
Another blue model was shightly
turned up in the back, faced with mi
lan straw and trimmed with sand col
ored blondine, a fine, small feather.
‘Many of the hats show much hand
lwork. A black taffeta of apparently
simple design was covered with small
asterisks of white silk embroidery.
Raffia, a stiff, straw-like material,
formerly used for making baskets has
been found to make excellent hat
trimmings and is used extensively by
the best makers. The Raffia of varie
gated colors was shown on one hat
sticking up around the brimless crown
in a ruff fashion. Jade colored feath
ers form a spray around the upturn
ed brims cf some of the models. The
bright green color against the navy
blue forms a pleasant contrast.
| Hand Painted for “Only $35.” ’
Hand painted hats, also, are now
on the market. One little turban af
fair with copper and Copenhagen
hand painted flowers outlined in gold
thread was shown at the comparative
ly modest figure of $35.
The hats are new and fresh and
just because women want to be con
trary, to spite nature or because they
have nice, big allowances to spend,
the hats are being bought earlier in
greater number than ever before at
this time of year. ;
