Rupture Kills
7,000 Annually
Seven thousand persons each year are laid
away—the burial, certificate being marked
“Rupture.” Why? Because the unfortunate
ones bad neglected themselves or had been
merely taking care of the sign (swelling) of
the affliction and paying no attention to
the cause. What are you doing? Are you
neglecting yourself by wearing a truss, ap
pliance, or whatever name you choose to call
it? At best, the truss is only a makeshift,
a false prop against a collapsing wall—and
cannot be expected to act as more than a
mere mechanical support. The binding pres
sure retards blood circulation, thus robbing
the weakened muscles of that which they
need most—nourishment.
But science has found away, and every
truss sufferer in the land is invited to make
a FREE test right in the privacy of their
own home. The PLAPAO method is un
questionably the most scientific, logical and
successful self-treatment for rupture the
world has ever known.
The PLAPAO Pad, when adhering closely
to the body, cannot possibly slip or shift
out of place, therefore cannot chafe or
pinch. Soft as velvet—easy to apply—inex
pensive. To be used whilst you work and
whilst you sleep. No straps, buckles or
springs attached.

THE ATLANTA TRI-WEEkLY JOURNAL,
FIGHT ON FREIGHT
RATE INCREASES
ON BEFORE I. C. C.
WASHINGTON, June 12.—South
ern railroads are asking freight rate
increases twice as great as the law
contemplates in their application for
a 31 per cent advance, Iff M. Caskie,
of Montgomery, Ala., today told the
Interstate commerce commission in
behalf of the Southern Traffic
league. Some increases, however, are
necessary, the league coheeded.
Mr. Caskie presented figures to
show that the earnings actually be
ing received by the railroads of the
south Atlantic at the present time
are much greater than the carriers
estimate. So far during 1920 he
declared southern lines have been
rapidly recovering their normal earn
ings while the petitions of the car
riers were based entirely on the un
favorable showing for the year 1919.
Carriers of the south, nevertheless,
are entitled to the fair return the law
assures them, C. E. Cotterill, of At
lanta, general counsel of the league,
contended.
“In showing to the commission
that the lines of the south are not
entitled to what they are asking for,”
Mr. Cotterill stated, “the Southern
Traffic league is not seeking to hold
the earnings of those lines down be
lo wthe fair return which the new
law assures them.
"On the contrary, the whole diffi
culty with the carriers’ case is that
they have completely ignored the
actual results of operation for this
year and are still relying upon the
unfavorable results of operations in
1919. We rejoice in the recovery of
earnings by southern lines during the
present year and share their pride in
the achievement. ‘
"Should conditions hereafter arise
to change the present tendencies the
railroads tn the south need fear no
antagonistic attitude toward them
by southern shippers. For the pres
ent. however, it cannot fairly be con
tended by the southern carriers that
they require anything like the per
centage of increased rates petitioned
for. As to the carriers in the north,
they have apparently made their
case.”
Tick Eradication

The citizens in their statement
commend the efforts being made by
the state and federal governments
to exterminate this pest and im
prove the grade of cattle being pro
duced in Georgia. They say that by
keeping the arsenic dipping solution
maintained at the proper strength,
which has been done in the work in

that, on the contrary, a decided bene

Harmony in Democratic
Party Plentiful, But I 7 otes
Scarce, Says TV, J. Bryan
BY WILLIAM J. BRYAN
To every political observer two
things are apparent: first, that the
contest for the Democratic presiden
tial nomination is proceeding without
acrimony. The Republicans are
fighting and hairpulling in an arena
that is vocal with accusation and
cries of distress. If the public can
believe what the Republican candi
dates are saying about each other —
and they are all- honorable men—
none of them is fit for the office
to which they aspire.
How different the situation in the
Democratic party! Everything is as
peaceful as a pink tea; the candidates
are most ladylike in their treatment
of each other —it is, “After you,
Alphonso,” "You first, Gaston.” Is it
the lull before the storm, or is it be
cause the prospects of success are
not so exciting?
That brings us to the second ob
vious characteristic! of the campaign,
viz., the shortage in Democratic
votes, as shown by the primaries
and by the various straw ballots re
cently taken. Take Nebraska, for
instance. In 1916 President Wilson
carried the state by 41,000 majority;
this year, in spite of the spirited
fight over the liquor question, the
democrats polled only about 76,000
votes at the primaries, while the
Republicans polled about 130,000. In
Michigan, the Republicans polled
more than twice as many votes as
the Democrats. In Ohio, the Repub
licans polled considerably more than
twice as many votes as the Demo
crats, althougn the Democrats car
ried Ohio in 1916. The same' rule
holds goods—or should I say bad?—
in Indiana, California, Massachusetts
and other states where a vote has
been taken.
Scarcity of Votes
The Literary Digest poll, the lar
gest ever taken, reveals a lamentable
scarcity of Democratic votes. But
more astounding than the scarcity of
Democratic votes is the apparent
landslide of Democratic voters to’Re
publican candidates. The voters are
asked to state their party affiliations,
and, up to the publication which ap
peared on the fifteenth of May 148,-
000 Democrats expressed a prefer
ence for Republican candidates wnile
the number of Democrats expressing
a choice for Democratic candidates
was only a little greater. The pro
portion is as great in the issue of
May 22. It is quite unusual for more
than two-fifths of the members of a
party to indicate a leaning toward
the candidates of the opposite party
at the beginning of a campaign. Os
course the Digest’s poll cannot in
clude all the voters —they are count
ing upon only eleven millions out of
the total number of voters, and the
votes already in represent only about
cne-tenth of the total expected. It
would not be fair, therefore, to re
gard the Republican trend as con
clusive, but it is enough to excito
alarm among the Democrats —enough
to compel earnest consideration of
the problem which must be met in
the campaign.
The question which will be asked
with increased emphasis as the con
vention approaches is, how can the
Democratic party rally to its stand
ards a sufficient number of votes to
win? To win is the thought upper
most In the minds of delegates at a
national convention, however much j
they may differ as to the methods to
be’employed. Some will insist on do
ing anything that promises victory,
while others will insist that the best
way to’win is to deserve to win; but
these two groups are united in pur
pose. , , x
Having in view this primary object
of winning, let us consider the rela
tive availability of the candidates,
and it must be remembered that
availabilty is not necessarily propor
tionate to merit.
To begin with, the president need
not be considered. While vague hints
and suggestions have been thrown
out occasionally, no one claiming to
speak for the president, or near
enough to him to be assumed to ex
press his wishes, has announced his
eanaiaacy.
Need Not Consider Hoover
Mr. Hoover need not be consid
ered among the availables. For a
time he seemed to hesitate about de
claring his allegiance to any party.
He was inclined to wait until the
platforms were written, with a view
to choosing the one which came near
est to his ideas. But this hesitation
did not last long. For some reason—
whether he acted voluntarily or was
pushed by his backers, I cannot say
•—he- plunged into the Republican
pool and became a rival of Senator
Johnson for California’s instructions.
Before he took the fatal plunge, many
Democrats joined his colors, and
some of these would doubtless fol
low him into the Republican party
if he were the nominee. But he ap
pears to have but little chance in
the Republican convention and none
at all at San Francisco.
The most active of the avowed can
didates for the Democratic nomina
tion is Governor Edwards, of New
Jersey. The primary vote shows
that he has a strong following among
the Knights of Thrist. Democrats of
his variety thrive luxuriantly in the
wet cities. His propaganda, however,
does not take root to any great extent
in the agricultural sections, and his
following in the convention will not
be sufficient to make him a serious
competitor for the nomination. Be
fore the convention the supreme
court is likely to demolish his plat
form by affirming the right of the
people of the United States so to
amend their constitution as to pro
hibit the manufacture and sale of
beverage liquors; and, second, by de
nying the right of his and other
states to nullify the national enforce
ment law by state statute. His op
position to prohibition is so violent
that he would not be available except
on a wet platform, and a wet plat
form is an impossibility.
Governor Cox, of Ohio, is likely
to be the residuary legatee of all
the other wet candidates, and may
be regarded as the final rallying point
for all Democrats who, either because
of financial interest in the liquor traf
fic or because of their own fondness
for Intoxicants, regard love for liquor
as the only legitimate affection and
the right to buy it as the only in
alienable right guaranteed by the
constitution.
Will Urge Compromise
Governor Cox’s friends will, urge
I him as a compromise between wets
of the Edwards type and the bone
drys. His supporters will make
r their fight under the false flag of
party harmony—a'harmony in which
■ they would feel no interest whatever
if they could muster one majority
for a wet plank. But Gov. Cox’s
record is as mal-ordorous as Gov.
Edwards, and extends over a longer
period. The New Jersey governor
began work in the vineyard, if I may
be pardoned the illustration, at the
eleventh‘hour, while Gov. Cox enter
ed in the morning and perspired un
der the rays of the rising ..un of
prohibition. He can secure letters
of recommendation from all the
brewers, distillers, wholesalers, re
tailers and topers’ in his state. He
refused to aid in securing an en
forcement law in Ohio after the
voters had written prohibition into
the constitution by 25,000 majority,
and then he sat silent in the gover
nor’s office while the representatives
of the liquor traffic, with his knowl
edge if not with his aid, waged- a bit
ter fight against every law that the
temperance element had secured
during the past fifty years. He was
willing to allow these reactionaries
to repeal constitutional prohibition,
nullify the enforcement law, and
withdraw Ohio’s name from the list
of ratifying states —erase it from
the nation’s roll of honor! He was
even willing that the brewers should
write into Ohio’s constitution a
falsehood, declaring that 2.75 per
cent beer is not intoxicating, thus
violating the national enforcement
act. No wonder he has the enthusi
astic support of those who manufac
ture criminals for pay and make a
busines of the corruption of politics
It is the height of audacity that a
man with such a record and such
a suport should aspire to a Demo
cratic nomination in face of the fact
that every Democratic state rati
fied the prohibition amendment, and
in face of the further fact that thir
ty-four of the states are dry by their
own individual acts. The absurdity
of his candidacy becomes the more
apparent when it is remembered that
at least fiften million women will be
able to vote at the coming president
ial election by virture of state laws.
If the suffrage amendment is rati
fied before November some twenty
five million women will be entitled
to vote.
Bidding for Wet Vote
Vice President Marshall is making
a feeble bid for the wet vote, but
he is hampered by his church con
nections. His religious speeches ex
cite suspicion atpong those who
might otherwise fie attracted by his
denunciation of national prohibition
while Christians are disgusted by
his wetness. In like manner the vice
president is inviting Wall street sup
port by his praise of "old-fashioned
democracy” and by his veiled opposi
tion to the initiative and referen
dum, but the enthusiasm of the re
actionaries is likely to be dampened
by the rude remarks which he oc
casionally makes against the exploit
ing class.
Attorney General Palmer entered
the campaign with considerable ad
vantage. He was in a position to
deal sternly with the profiteer and
an expectant public stood ready to
applaud. But the profiteer seems to
have things all his own way and the
attorney general is now suffering
from the reaction, which philosophers
tell us is equal to the action and in
the opposite direction. He has also
roused the antagonism of labor and
has their opposition to a greater ex
tent than any other Democratic as
pirant.
' He is unfortunate, too, in having
to espouse the ratification of the
treaty without reservations. His
candidacy is, in this respect, a re
buke to twenty-seven of the Demo
cratic senators, twenty-three of whom
voted for ratification with reserva
tions and four of whom opposed the
treaty entirely.
The primaries reveal Mr. Palmer’s
weakness as a candidate. In Michi
gan he polled a little over 11,000
votes out of about 80,000 votes cast
by Democrats. In Georgia he polled
about one-third of the votes cast at
the Democratic primary. In the Lit
erary Digest poll up to May 22, he
has secured only 17,000 out of some
300,000 votes cast for Democratic
candidates. •
McAdoo Is Leading
Ex-Secretary McAdoo has, up to
this time, led all the other candidates
as far as the sentiment of the party
can be gauged by primaries and polls,
although his name has been on the
ballot in so few places that the proof
is only prima facie. He came next
to Hoover in Michigan and has a con
siderable lead in the Digest poll.
His vote of eighty-six thousand out
of some three hundred thousand
Democratic votes counted is quite
complimentary to him, coming as
they do from the whole country, but
it is not a very encouraging vote of
confidence when it is measured
against more than nine hundred
thousand votes cast for Republican
candidates.
As Mr. McAdoo has annoupnced
no platform it is impossible to know
what following he will have when
his position on public questions is
known. It is evident that he has
considerable strength among the
wage earners, especially in railroad
centers; but he is handicapped by
silence on the tfeaty question. It
he agrees with the president in the
latter’s desire to make it a cam
paign issue, he is at variance with
the sentiment of the voters; if he
favors ratification with reservations,
he is not in a position, for family
reasons, to lead the opposition to
the president.
Seriously Handicapped
He is even more seriously handi
capped by his close relationship to
♦the president. Without being able to
call to his support those to whom
the president’s candidacy appealed
with special force, he furnishes an
easy ‘mark for all the president's
enemies. The virulfence of the hos
tility which he invites is very accur
ately described in the twenty-first
chapter of Matthew, verses thirty
three to thirty-nine.
The Republicans have indicated the
advantage which they would seek
to take of his nomination by fre
quent reference to the marriage tie
which binds him to the White House.
Speaker Clark has his own state
behind him and has reason to feel
complimented by the number of
votes he has received in the ■Liter
ary Digest poll.
Judge Gerard’s candidacy has
South Dakota’s support and he has
many personal friends among the
delegates.
Senator Owen, of Oklahoma, and
Secretary Meredith, of lowa, will
be presented by their respective
' states. They deserve to be named
among the few available men thus
■ far mentioned. To be available this
year a candidate must be known
i to be for woman suffrage, for pro-

INDUSTRY FAILS TO
STOPMMPOBTS
That Georgia continues to import
vast quantities of meat, notwith
standing the growth of the hog and
cattle industry in the state, is shown
by statistics oconMPiled by Dr. Peter
F. Bahnsen, state veterinarian, and
given out Saturday.
His figures cover the years 1916.
1917, 1918 and 1919. They show that
the state produced more foodstuffs
in 1918 than in any other year on
record, and raised and marketed
more cattle and hogs than in airy
other year, but at the same time im
ported a greater quantity of meat
from other states.
This is explained by Dr. Bahnsen
on the theory that war conditions
were responsible for both high rec
ords. In 1918 the government made
a drive for increased food production
to help' win the war. In 191$ there
were trained in Georgia many thou
sands of soldiers in the various can
tonments, and a large part of their
diet consisted of meat.
In 1916 the state of Georgia im
ported a total of 06,690,767 pounds
of meat of all kinds, including dress
ed- cattle, hogs and sheep, pork and
pork products of all kinds, lard, can
ned meats and other packing house
products.
In 1917 the state imported a total
of 75.507.089 pounds; in 1918 a
total of 99,570339 pounds; in 1919
a total of 88,537,713 pounds.
Imported Less in 1919
It will be noticed that the im
portations of meat in 1919 were less
than those in 1918 and less than
those in 1916. Dr. Bahnsen esti
mates that the 1919 importations
represent about the normal meat im
portations under present conditions.
Dr. Bahnsen’s figures show that
the total beef importations for 1919
were 16,234,695 pounds, or 40,587
head of cattle, requiring 1,450 cars
to haul them to the packing houses,
and worth $4,056,939 at the low price
of 25 cents a pound.
Taking the pork importations for
1919, which was the largest year on
record, the figures show'that Georgia
imported the equivalent of 790,289
hogs, requiring 10,000 cars to haul
them to the packing houses, and rep
resenting an expenditure of $10,838,-
218. In this connection he remarks
that “should by any chance trans
portation facilities fail, we would
be in an extremely bad predicament.”
Dr. Bahnsen’s Statement
After showing the above and nu
merous other figures on meat im
portations into Georgia, Dr. Bahn
sen makes the following observa
tions concerning the system which
forces farm products, especially
hogs, on the market in a very limited
period in the fall, thereby glutting
the market and forcing down prices:
“This problem is by no means an
easy one. To be sure, we must ex
tend our production. But, unfor
tunately, our system of agriculture
forces the products of the farm on
the market durjng a few months of
autumn, especially hogs. ,It is a
most difficult problem to extend the
marketing season of our hogs over a
period sufficiently long to prevent the
glut of the fall market with its in
evitable depression of the price ot
hogs on foot, a condition which just
ly discourages the producer.
"A glutted market, from a labor
scarcity viewpoint, -is no doubt a
source of embarrassment to the pack
er also. But the packer converts
this period of market stagnation into
a golden harvest of profit for him
self bv forcing the price of hogs on
foot to the lowest possible market
le '*lt is entirely wrong to think
that the consumer reaps the benefit
of this depression in the market. No
small part of the hams and break
fast bacon retailed at sixty cents
per pound and much of the side
meat, sold at thirty cents per pound
Or more are the products of hogs
that brought the producer from ten
to twelve cents per pound on toot.
Prepare for Pall Bush
“With shrewd business acumen the
packers annually empty their cool
ers in anticipation of the fall rush.
And as the price of live stock on
foot is hammered to the lowest point
possible, they replenish their ex
hausted stores in anticipation of the
rise in the market which Inevitably
occurs as soon as the market is no
longer glutted. In spring and sum
mer, when because few hogs are of
fered for sale, the price of hogs on
foot advances, the large stores of
meat purchased at distress prices
from the producers find their way
into traffic in keeping with the then
prevailing high prices of hogs on
foot.
“Packers and packing houses are
modern necessities but in common
with other middlemen, they welcome
and help to create opportunities that
enable them to constantly widen the
gulf of difference between the price
paid to the producer ’as compared
with the price paid by the con
sumer.
"I believe the establishment of
municipal abattoirs in each county
where the hog industry is sufficient
ly developed to justify the expense
would prove a blessing to the pro
ducer. It would enable him to have
his hogs slaughtered when food is
getting short, independent of the
packer, instead of being compelled
to sacrifice them to the unscrupu
lous greed of the packers. The pro
ducer could better afford to hold his
meat in suitable storage until a nor
mal market demand called for his
product than to sacrifice his hogs,
on foot, at ruinous prices; a system
that has enabled the packing indus
try to accumulate fabulous wealth
while the producer is still earning
his daily bread by the sweat of his
brow.”
Girl Waits 22 Years
Only to Be Jilted
FALLS CITY, Neb. —A Richardson
county jury has awarded SI,OOO a
year to Miss Jennie Fellers for each
of the twenty-two years she waited
for Louis H. Howe, now of Lincoln,
to make good his promise to marry
her.
Miss Fellers is a school teacher.
Her story was that when she was a
high school girl in 1896 she met
Howe, several years her senior and
of a family possessed of large hold
ings of land. Howe was manager of
the estate for his mother. Miss Fel
lers agreed to marry him but he
said he must stay with his mother
as long as she lived.
Howe’s mother is still living. In
1918 Howe broke off the engagement.
He said that 1 his mother and sisters
did not think Miss Fellers would
make him the kind of a wife he need
ed. He also said his fiancee had
grown “touchy” and “sharp” in her
conversations with him. She sued
for $50,000. The jury gave her $22,-
000.

deaths, according to a dispatch re
ceived here from Vienna today. One

Killing of Trotzky
And Lenine Escapes,
So Tokio Hears
TOKIO, June 10. —Information that
the Moscow government has been
overthrown, that Leon Trotzky has
been killed and the Premier Lenine
has escaped, said to have come from
the Vladivostok government, is
printed in an extra edition of the
Asahi Shimbun. A new government,
headed by General Brussiloff, is re
ported to have been established.
London reports of May 19 had Gen
eral Alexis Brussiloff, former com
mander in chief of the Russian
armies, in supreme authority at Mos
cow in place of Nikolai Lenine, the
Bolshevik premier. Official London
quarters, however, indicated reluct
ance in accepting the report as a
fact.
Mother and Son Sail
Into Girl’s Fiance
BEDFORD, Ind. —A young man’s
fancy, which had soared to heights
of June weddings, taflspinned to
earth when Robert H. Cruder, Chi
cago, left town under police protec
tion from a mother and a brother
and without a bride.
The first reel showed the prologue,
wherein the young Chicagoan became
acquainted with Miss Margaret Da
yis, twenty-one years old, Bedford, by
mail.
The next pieftired arrival of the
"city fellow” in the Indiana town,
the meeting with the girl and a
stroll in the park.
Then the climax, as love’s dream
took the skies.
Mother, Mrs. J. T. Rutledger, arm
ed with an umbrella, and brother,
with a revolver, jumped into the
camera’s range. In a jiffy the um
brella lost its usefulness for rainy
days.
Borther accelerated Cruder’s flight
with a couple of shots. The Chi
cagoan came to a high fill and tried
to "plane” out of range, but his
landing was bad —and painful.
He limped to the police station and
had police guard him until he left
town. The fade-out showed him
aboard the first train out.

PUPPET CANDIDATE
N. Y. WORLD CALLS
SENATOR HARDING
NEW YORK, June 12.—"A puppet
candidate" is the heading of an edi
torial on the first page of the Sun
day World, Democrat, apropos of
the nomination of Senator Harding.
“A more respectable figurehead
than Warren G. Harding has nev
er been nominated for president by
either party,” the editorial said.
"Senator Harding was nominated be
cause the old guard Republicans
want a president to whom they can
give orders —apresident who will
take orders. Accordingly they pres
ent their puppet candidate in the
person of Warren G. Harding, of
Ohio.”
The Times, also Democrat, in a
first-page editorial said:
"Upon a platform that has pro
duced general dissatisfaction, the
Chicago convention presents a can
didate whose nmoination will be
received with astonishment and dis
may by the party whose suffrage
he invites.
“The nomination of Harding, for
whose counterpart we must go back
to Franklin Pierce if we would seek
a president who measures down to
his political stature, is the fine and
perfect flower of the cowardice and
imbecility of the senatorial cabal
that charged tiself with the man
agement of the Republican conven
tion.”
