soml-:THING MUST BE DONE TO
TUKN CAMPAIGN CURRENT.
% NO MONEY IN CHEST.
WASHINGTON, D--C., Sept. 27.
ugomething must be d?ne to brace
up the democratic presidential cam
palgn!” 4
That is’ what the overwhelming
republican victory in the M_aine elec
tion means to all who are interested
in the success of the democracy this
year. : - ety
That is what is regarded by poli
ticians as behind the visit of Judge
E. H. Moore of Ohio, the personal
representative of Gov. Cox, to the
white house and to other high ad
ministration quarters in Washington
within the past few days.
Judge Moore refuses to admit that
there was any especial significance
in his tour to and from Washington,
but 1O seasoned political leader
would let any more language keep
pim from putting two and two to
gether on such an occasion, 3
The politicians also note that it
was Judge Moore who did the call
ing, and not the national democratic
chairman, ex-Congressman Georgel
White of Ohio. Mr. White remarked
just after being designated as chair-l
man that the league of nations was;
not necessarily the principal issue of |
the campaign—and he failed to bel
asked to the white hquse when he
came to Washington shortly after
that utterance. ;
Shall Wilson Talk?—Money Talks
For G. O. P.
President Wilson has not been ad
dressing the people of the country
on the issues of the campaign. It Was}
announced by him and Gov. Cox
that they were in entire agreement.‘
That was when the governor called
at the white house and committed
himself to the Wilson view of the
league of nations,
There were many democrats who
were not pleased with what they
termed the completeness with which
the nominee put himself in the same
boat with the president at that time;
and. of course, the republicans made
the most of the incident in all their
organs and on all their stumps. It
may have been regarded as the bet
ter part of party strategy thereafter
for the president to refrain from
participating in the campaign. The
democracy may not be able to win
this vear even with President Wil
son making campaign arguments to
the voters; but there is certainly no
indication that the proper headway
is being made without his participa
tion.
In the meanwhile, there lis mo
money in the democratic campaign
chest, and the republicans have the
sinews of war in profusion so great
as to be embarrassing. Gov. Cox’s
sensational charges about the size of
the G. 0. P. fund have interested
the country; they do not seem to
have affected the preliminary voting
seriously, and there remains the sad
truth that the democrats are not
only without money to pay legiti
mate campaign expenses, but are
without money to pay for necessary
campaign expenses. Money is talk
ing for the republicans just now
more loudly than it ever talked for
a party hefore. The democrats must
¢et something to offset it, and quick
ly.
At this time there appears to be
only one big card left the democratic
campaign managers to play. Gov.

YOU certainly want to
save money, and you
would like to have bakings.
Then use Calumet. It’s the
biggest thing you can do to im
prove the quality of your bakings
—and lower baking costs,
Calumet is made in the larg

Factories in the World. No Bak

*BEST PY TEST
BAKING POWDER
Cox and Mr. Roosevelt are doing
their best against the current, and
cannot be expected to do more, and
that is for the president to take an
active part in the campaign.
Until Maine voted the republicans
were deeply concerned about the
woman vote in the east. They are
now having sighs of relief because
they believe that the women of the
east are not inclined to the league
of nations in greater proportion than
are the men,
In other words the republicans
were worried about the status quo
from the time Tennessee indorsed
suffrage until Maine voted; now
they are pleased with the status quo
as they see it, and they figure that
they can handle the democratic at
tack - with comparative ease as it is
today directed and advertised. They
don’t want any of President Wil
son’s engaging’ letters or stgtements
injected into the situation.
Cox put steam into the fight—no
doubt of that—but the republicans
feel that they have withstood the
impact successfully. They don't
know what they would do with elec
tricity against them. \
It is probably too late now to dis
cuss whether or not the democrats
made a mistake in concentrating
their national campaign in the west
instead of the east. The thing is
done now, and if the west does not
go democratic along with the south,
as in 1916, the republicans are pret
ty sure winners, President’ Wilson
has done more with the west than
any other democrat. The republi
cans do not think he can do it
again, but they do not wish to see
him try. What they liked was Hard
ing on the front porch and Wilson
on the back porch.
VETERANS WILL HOLD
REUNION NEXT WEEK
P—————
Soldiers of the Confederacy Will Be
Guests of Honor in Houston, Tex.,
From October 6 to 8.
~ Houston, Texas, is collecting a
fund of $50,000 to be spent in en
tertaining the old men who wore the
gray in the civil war, when the Con
federate reunion is held in that city
(Oct. 6 to 8:
Sixty city blocks will blaze with
fluttering color. Avenues of ap
}proach from the three railroad ter
minals will lead the incoming visi
|tors into a maze of flags and bunt
iing in the center of the city, the
“Court of Honor.” Including 8,000
'to 10,000 veterans, Houston expects
75,000 to attend the reunion.
“John Hopper,” the toad which
lived for seventeen vears imbedded
in solid stone, succumbed after liv
ing two days out of his prison. Death
is thought to be due to contraction
or some pernicious disease which at
tacked the weak vitality of the dis
tinguished creature.
What might be termed as the most
remarkable discovery in some years
was revealed when a heavy founda
tion was removed from a McClary
Manufacturing company’s building,
Vancouver, British Columbia, in or
der to install a new 600-horsepower
steam engine,
When the workmen had broken
away some four feet of cement they
found the form of a toad imbedded
in the concrete. It was claimed that
there was a perfect mold of the
toad’s back in the cement, which
formed on impenetrable dome over it.
~ James Kenerson, manager of the
'McClary foundry, states that the
)foundation was laid seventeen years
ago, and also vouches for the dis
\covery of the toad alive.
~ When the toad was found the men
‘were dazed with amazement, for af

STEP MAY BE TAKEN IN ATLAN
TA “MIXED BABY” CASE AS
ROW IS RENEWED. i
ATLANTA, Ga.—The fight for the
possession of Louise Madeline, only |
survivor of the famous pair of “mix-‘<
ed babies” born at the Grady Hos
pital, was renewed in the courts Sat-!
urday morning, with the prospect
that blood tests may decide who are
the parents of the child. ‘
New and interesting developments
are expected in the case, since Wil-|
liam E. Arnaud, attorney-for one!
set of claimants, announced that|
one link in the chain of evidence he
will present will be to attempt to
prove that Louise Madeline belongs
to his clients, Mr. and Mrs. John C.
Garner, by tests of her blood and
the Garners.
Mr. Arnaud will offer testimony by
Dr. Allen H. Bunce, Atlanta blood
specialist, to the effect that blood
‘tests often are indications of a
child’s parentage, and he will seek
to have tests made not only for the
Garners and Louise Madeline, but
on the other set of elaimants, Mr.
and Mrs. Daniel L. Pittman.
“Yes, it is a fact that blood tests
are relative but not absolute indi
cations of parentage,” Dr. Bunce
said Saturday. “Science has discover
ed, in the process of blood transfu
sions, that there are four different
groups of blood. For a successful
blood transfusion both of the parties
to the operation must have blood of
the same grgup, in order for their
bloods to ‘agree’ as we term it. All
people come under one of the four
groups. It is a fact that the Gar
ners, both husband and wife, and
‘their children, belong in the same
group, group two. I do not know to
'what group the Pitfhans belong or
'to what group the child, Louise
lMadeline, belongs. You can readily
see that if a test showed the blood
of Louise Madeline came under
group two and and the Pittman
blood came under another group it
wonld be a strong indication that the
.child was born to the Garners. On
'the other hand, if Louise Madeline’s
'blood did not come under group
|two, but came under a group to
'which one or both .of the Pittmans
l‘belonged,~ it would be a strong qux
‘cation that she is the Pittmans’ child.
These tests are relative, not absolute,
jand would simply be a link in the
chain.”
ter seventeen years’ imprisonment in
a cell of solid stone, without a bit of
food to eat, without a drop of water
to quench his thirst, without even a
ray of light to relieve the darkness,
he lived.
“John Hopper’s” experience is the
marvel of the city’s scientists. It is
predicted that he will be more than a
seven-day’s wonder, for never in his
tory had life been found in a body
so long incarcerated in grim, silent,
powerful walls,
| The toad was not mutilated in any
!wa_y. All identification marks were
~quite clear, The under portion of the
' body is a yellowish brown, but the
back is the same color as-any toad
that might be seen anywhere. The
'skin on the body and limbs appeared
'to be just covering the bones.
| The question has been asked why,
lwhen the cement was put in, the
' toad was not_crushed by the weight.
| This is_explained by the fact that
‘before the cement was put in on top
of the heavy blue clay this surface
'was uneven and it was made level
Ib_v soft earth. The toad, it is claim
ed, put in with this loose earth,
!found refuge in a depression, only
later to be covered with the cement.
With the hardening of the cement
the dome was formed over its body,
and held it prisoner.
Professor Dearness, principal of
the London normal school, is great
'ly interested in the find and will in
vestigate the case as far as possible.
He stated similar discoveries of the
long life of the toad have been
made, but that scientists always have
placed some doubt on the fact that
life was preserved so long without
nourishment, et cetera. |
' The professor is particularly anx
jous to secure the cement mold of
‘the toad.
" «“If it can be found,” he said, “it
Iwill prove of inestimable value to
ccience and the matter will be one
to put on record.”—Western Stories
Magazine.
