Money Monopoly
Brilliant Georgian Holds Attention of
Senators as Few Have Ever Done
WASHINGTON, Oct, 25, —Speak
ing on the tax bill before a cham
ber, well filled with colleagues on
both sides, with hundreds of audi
tors in the galleries, Senator Thos,
E. Watson, from Georgia, Monday
afternoon delivered one of the most
eloquent speeches recently heard in
the senate in denunciation of money
monopoly and the alleged greed and
avarice of the money power. The
Georgian, warming up to his subject
after the usual preliminary of statis
tics and quotations from reports to
‘sustain his ‘position, 'walked slowly
;down the aisle from his seat, and burst
into thirty minutes of rare eloquence,
declaring that the most powerful: ad
dresses recorded in history, the most
classic utterances of the great out
standing friends of the common people
in all time had been in their protests
to the robbery of the masses by the
manipulators in money and that even
Christ Himself set the example for the
World by running the usurers from the
temple,
Senator Watson spoke particularly
in opposition to the great profits ac
crued by the various regional banks of
the federal resegye system, as shown
by the treasury statement, and in op
position to the large salaries paid and
expenses incurred in the management
of those banks, the salaries being ab
normal_ he said, in comparison with
other government salaries, or the sal
aries of like officials in private insti
‘tutions,
- He attacked the federal hoard for
its alleged contraction of the currency,
demanded that the idle gold be put
into circulaiotn and severely rapped
the present as well as the former ad
ministration’s fiscal policy,
Whether agreeing with the Geor
gian or not the fact remains he spoke
with great force, and held the atten
tion of the Senate as few speakers do,

Augusta Suicides
Lost $167,000 In Cotton Speculation;
Puts Bullet Through Head
ANGUSTA Oct, 27th—After it's
vice president E. E, Roseborough,
confessed to a shortage of $167.000,
caused by heavy losses in speculation
in cotton futures, and put a bullett
through his temple, the Merchants
Bank of this city closed its doors and
turned its affairs over to the State
Banking department for liquidation,
Library patrons are going to be
treated to a great surprise when they
next enter the doors to see how beau
tiful and convenicnt the new arrange
ments have been made, The rooms
—this. from the fund of Katcha-Koo—
and also the wonderful improvement
in the plan of heating which has been
made by the city council,
the prizes awarded him as the judges
have done the very best they could
by my assistance to award the differ
ent prjzes according to the winnings,
I am well pleased with the progress
made by the Club boys this year and
hope that we will be able to more
than double the number another year
and do even better work than we have
done this year, J am also thankful for
the interest taken in the work by the
parents of the Club Boys.
Yours Very Truly,

There May Be Nothing For Shop Men
To Do, They Say |
| |
. SAVANNAH, Oct,, 27—A mass
‘meeting to inform the shop-crafts of
the local railway organizations not to
strike in conjunction with the trans
portation forces if the impending strike
takes place, will Le called here this
week, it was announced this morning
by Cnie Oliver, general chairman of
the shop crafts of the Seaboard Air
Line Railway who returned to Savan
nah this morning from Chicago where
he has been attending the conference
of the crafts.
Not to Strike
~ “We have been instructed by our
leaders not to strike” Mr, Oliver so
istated this morning, “We could reach
no agreement with the transportation
forces, hence we are not going to aid
their cause by walking out with them
if they strike,
As I understand the situation we
were expected by the transportation
forces to strike but we were not going
to reap any of the benefits which
might result from a strike, In other
words ,we were not going to have
representation in the net results of the
strike. : e
Committee Acts 7 |
The grand lodge officers, executive
cimmittee, composed of Jewell, John-'
son, Kline, Franklin, Hines, Noonan,
and Ryan held a meeting while we
were in session ,and decided our pol
icy, The representatives from the‘
various roads were then instructed as
to what action to take, 1
We are going to hold a racs meet
ing of our craft here one day this
week. We would have held it tonight,
but found it impossible to secure a
hall,
At this meeting the union members
will be informed at first hand of the
general situation, I intend making a
report of my trip to Chicago.
Valentino Back
J. G. Valentino, president of the
Georgia State Federation of ILabor
and an active member of thé local
shopcraft, also returned from Chicago
this morning, he and Mr, Oliver hav
ing attended the meeting together,
Mr, Valentino says while the shop
craft have decided not to strike there
will be very little for them to do unless
there are engines and trains handled
by union crews to be worked on,
“1f those unions who have declared
their intention of striking do 507 He
said “there will be nothing for the
shop crafts to do. We may be forced
to go out, The situation is not very
clear and it will require a few days
for it to develop, In this section of
the country it seems to me, shop
crafts are going out, whether the head
bosses say so or not, because the sit
uation will be such a peculiar one and
so entirely unsatisfactory if the train
crews go out.”
Mrs, Frank Scarboro and two at
tractive sons, Whitfield and Frank Jr.,

Highly Pleased With Recognition
Given Local Library ‘
Miss Louise Smith returned from
the Librarians meeting at Albany,
very enthusiastic over the pleasures
and profits derived, and especially
pleased at the recognition given our
Fitzgerald Library as one of the few
most successful libraries in the state.
Miss Smith’s talk was changed from
the day to the night program, in or
der that the audience might be larg
er and so many expressions of interest
were offered that Miss Smith could
do no less than invite the entire body
numbering about twenty-five to hold
their next meeting here. In fact she
was happy to do so, well knowing the
support that can be depended upon
from our library patrons and the Wo
man's Club in offering the same de
lightful hospitality that was so much
in evidence at the meeting in Albany,

ANSWERING KIDDIE'S
QUESTIONS
By Major Jack Allen
(Adventure Film's Star)
Answering questions of kiddies is
a privilege and pleasure of all proud
parents the world over. When it
comes to asking questions, the kid
dies win the grand prize, They “chirp!
out” such a diversity of interrogations
that to answer one half of one per
cent, you must be a good mixture of
Webster's big book and all of the en
cyclopedias in print. I play safe when
I attempt to answer kiddies’ ques
tions, by limiting my answers to those
about animals, outdoor life and kind
red subjects, Somectimes, when the
kids start their question mark bom
bardment, it is mighty hard to keep
within my stated bounds,
When a man has given the greater
part of his life to the persistent study
of his hobby he can ride it with plenty
of assurance that he is on the right
road. When T was five years old T
ran away from home at every oppor
tunity to study animals and play in
the open country. When my parents
found me playing Indian up in the
mountains, the thought, then and
there, that T was destined for a life
on the Western plains, From kid-age
to now T have kept at my study of
nature, T only recently returned from
the Malay peninsula, where T filmed
three thrilling Pathe Adventure films
entitled “Netting the Leopard,” “Cap
turing Lions via Aeroplane” and ‘Ro
ping the Black Panther” The months
spent in the jungle habitat of these
beasts has generally increased my
store of animal information,
So, T had a fund of facts with which
to answer the questions of my audi
ence friends during my vaudeville tour
of the Keith and affiliated big-time
theatres, Naturally, most of my
questioners were boys, as girls seem
to possess more of an inate fear of
animals than their brothers, Inci
dently, the majority of the boys who
nrofessed interest in animals were the
Boy Scouts, This great organization
spensored by that good friend of the
ovs, Dan~ Beard; has done wonders
in bringing the youth back to nature
Tn many of the cities where T vaude
villed, T gave special invitation mat
inees to the Local Boy Scouts and
other boy organizations. After Show-}
ine a movie at my entertainments, T
talked on animal subjects. I then of
fered to answer questions,
One bright lad in Cincinnati wanted
to kirow what had become of a moun
tain lion I captured. I replied, that I
had sold him. Whereupon, the hoy
retorted with, “What did you get for
him?” and| T had to tell before I could
satisfy the embryo district attorney,
Another clever youngster asked,—
“Who made yer Major?” This was
casy to answer as I received my rank
in the Spanish-American war.
" One little New York “tough guy”
asked me if the Canadian lynx was,
“What they make sawsage links from?
He had evidently heard much of hot
dogs and their supposed method of
manufacture,
“How many links in the chain that
you catch the lion with in the Aearo
plane picture? ventured a Duluth lad,
“Tls it much bigger'n a dog's chain?”
By rapid calculation T gave an esti
‘mate of the number of links in the
chain.
“Do Lion’s mothers wash the little
lion’s necks?” was another question
in New York. When I answered the
affirmative that the mothers did lick
the little lion's necks, one witty young
man broke out with: “That ain’t where
T get licked
