- G.O.P.ISWORRIED
Bf INDIANA UPSET
WASHINGTON, ' ' May 6. l
ndiana’s political upset, the defeat of
Harry New for the Republican sena
torial nomination, is a bad omen for
the future of political machines, in
the opinon of observers here. It
has doubled the interest of the poli
ticians in Pennsylvania's approach
ing primary election.
In both Indiana and "Pennsylvania,
the Republican machine organiza
,,, tions have been well organized,
strong and controlling.
New's defeat by- Beveridge on
ifjS* Tuesday marked to a degree the
failure of the Indiana machine to
~ function perfectly. It broke down
-at a critical time. And that has
served to center the attention of
political leaders of all parties on the
threat of a similar breaking down
of the old-time machine in Penn
sylvania.
Every straw that shows the direc
tion of the political winds this year
is watched with anxious eyes. In
?- diana was one straw.
*" Pennsylvania is another straw.
But if Gifford Pinchot should cap
”” t ture the Republican gubernatorial
s..' nomination in Pennsylvania, right
on the heels of Beveridge’s nomina
tion in Indiana, no amount of ex
plaining, the political wiseacres here-
—i abbuts admit, could . dispose, of the
..j 5 ,,., cumulative psychological effect on
the voters of the whole country.
. . 3 «- Pinchot’s progressive supporters
claim that is just what will hap
pen. One of them who was here re
cently predicted in all seriousness
that Pinchot would even carry Phila
*7 delphia, and would utterly wreck the
old machine all over the state. Aft-
V er Beveridge’s victory, the old line
y ' . organization men are not so ready to
dispute Pinchot’s prediction.
-' With a presidential election only
F ' -two years ahead the possibility of
the people refusing longer to stick
by the organizations, in either or
-7 - - both parties, is giving the profes
sional politicans real concern.
, The Democrats naturally stand to
x-- - benefit more than the Republcans
in a national sense, from such a
li-Lt breaking down of the party ma
chinery, should it become general.
But all politicians have a peculiar
reverence for the “organization,”
hence, regardless of party, they are
, watching with knitted brows for the
result of the great struggle being
*■*"' waged in the Keystone state.
A Measure Protecting
Securities Buyers
Passed by Congress
. “ T. B. Connor, chief examiner of
’ the Georgia securities commission,
» 1: on Saturday received a telegram
; from Congressman Denison, of ll
j linois, that the Denison bill debar
j. ring from the mails all promoters
; offering securities not approved by
{ state authorities had passed the na
-1 tional house.
This legislation, Mr. Connor said,
has been urged by the National As
; sociation of Securities Commission
ers for several years. It was sup-
I ■'* ported before the house committee
1 by state representatives. The Amer-
• lean Investment Bankers association,
f which originally opposed it, came
• over to the support of the bill as
• modified by the author and also ap
’ peared.
“We regard this,” said Mr. Con-
“<■. nor, “as one of the most important
legislative achievements of this con
gress. Most of the frauds that are
now being committed in the sale of
. .. securities are perpetrated by pro
' moters sending seductive circulars
through the mail in violation of the
state laws. The house committee
*: reported that hundreds of millions
of dollars were being stolen from
the American people annually in
this way. This money came from
those who could least afford to lose
It. Most of the losers were poor and
ignorant of the value of the se
curities unaccustomed to making
investments and easily misled by
the lyi”'» promises of quick returns
made by these plausible rascals,
many of whom were past masters at
their game.”

LADY ASTOR IS CONTRASTED
WITH MISS ROBERTSON
Two Women Politicians) One
of America and One of
Britain, Exchange Greet
ings in Washington
BY CAROLINE VANCE
(Leased Wire Service to The journal.)
. (Copyright, 1922.)
WASHINGTON May 6.—Ameri
ca’s only woman member of con
gress and England’s only woman
member of parliament, met in Wash
ington this week, and the lady from
Oklahoma shared generously in the
spotlight which beat about the lady
from Plymouth.
Miss Alice Robertson’s somewhat
cubicule figure loomed beside the
lithesomeness of Lady Astor like a
soft, gray dove, who regards quiz
zically the dartings of bright-wing
ed humming bird.
A better simile, perhaps, might
be found in the flower kingdom and
Lady Astor likened to one of the del
icately vivid orchids she is so fond
of wearing, while gray-haired, sob
erly clad Miss Alice is like a pussy
willow. And pussy willows, you
know, have backbone. They stand
stiff, straight, and uncompromising.
.“Miss Alice” has. neither a title
qor a hundred million dollars, nor a
slim figure, nor a brace of dimples.
She could not, for instance, step up
to our most august statesman,
straighten his tie and tell him that
he would always be re-elected be
cause the ladies are so susceptible
and get away with it gracefully. She
does not shine forth from a back
ground of one of the first families
of Virginia, an adoring husband and
six appealing children.
Miss Alice is a stalwart; Lady
Astor is conciliatory. But both have
voted against certain legislation in
troduced solely in behalf of women.
Lady Astor voted against giving
women equal rights of divorce. Miss
Alice voted against the maternity
bill.
Miss Robertson has taken a bold
stand upon the bonus question. Lady
Astor agrees with her that the bonus
is an unwise piece of legislation, but
Lady Astor has nothing to lose by
making such a statement except
the good graces of a congressman
who rebuked her for “butting in”
to American affairs. On the other
hand Miss Robertson, in standing
by her convictions in the bonus mat
ter was forced to offend the boys
for whom she has often expressed the
greatest affection, and at the same
time to further endanger her politi
cal career, already in jeopardy, be
cause of her vote on the maternity
bill.
But whatever other people might
say about either of them, they ap
parently have a most sincere appre
ciation of each other. Lady Astor’s
greeting of Miss Robertson, when
they met for the first time, was a
warm tribute. Miss Robertson euolo
gized Lady Astor afterward, when
she said:
“I have been impressed with an
appreciation of the fact that the
safest and sajiest women active in
political work are wives and moth
ers, accustomed to think for the fu
tures of their children, and actuated
by the unselfishness which is the
wonderful beauty of motherhood.
They have a poise attractive in the
extreme.”
The women of Washington, mean
time, are saying that ‘‘Mary, of the
vine-clad cottage” boosted Albert J.
Beveridge, of Indian into the nomi
nation for senator • over his rival,
Harry New. Mr. New did not bother
at the beginning of his campaign
to organize the women in his fac
tion. On the other hand, Beveridge
from the start, made a special ap
peal to the women of Indiana and
made famous the phrase, "Mary of
the vine-clad cottage.” Politicians
of the old school have believed that
the defeat of New was tatamount
to a repudiation of the Harding ad
ministration. What it really signi
fied was’ that the new factoi' in poli
tics cannot be lightly disregarded.
Pretty soon women are going to
tire of organizing “international”
leagues, federations and foundations
and will seek new worlds to organ
ize. Upon the cosmic horizon will ap
pear the Milky Way Women’s
league, the Women’s Federation of
the Universe, and the Women’s
Peace society of our solace system.
At the moment the whole world of
women seems to have hypnotized
themselves with the name “inter
national.” The newest newcomer in
the field is Miss Critenden Calhouns,
International Women’s Foundation.
She resigned sometime ago from the
newly “national” women’s founda
tion.
Father Imprisons
Daughter in Smoke |
House on His Farm
BUCYRUS, Ohio, ; May 6.—lrene
Menges is in a stupor today after
being released from two years’ im
prisonment on her father’s farm
near here.
When rescued from her dingy cell
in an abandoned smoke house by
Sheriff Knappenberger, of Crawford
county, the girl wore only a thin
gauze vest. She was brought to the
county jail here.
Jacob Menges, the father, said to
be wealthy, will be vigorously ques
tioned by Prosecutor Meek today.
Menges and his wife and two other
children were detained by authori
ties for questioning. They have in
sisted the imprisonment was neces
sary for Irene' because the girl was
mentally deficient.
The girl has uttered no sound
since her release. She began to
respond to the environment today,
and Sheriff Knappenberger said
smiles flitted across her face, and
she nodded her head once or twice
in response to questions, but she had
made no other show of emotions.
When officers searched the Men
ges farm for the girl, they found
the prison had been covered with
sheet iron and windows barred. The
interior was barren of furniture and
the only heat came from a small
lamp. Two small holes in the roof
provided air.
Representative Brand
Is Reported Better

BY THEODORE TILEER
WASHINGTON, D. C„ May 6.
Representative Charles H. Brand, of
the Eighth Georgia district, hopes to
return to his office Monday, after
an illness that has kept him in the
hospital for nearly two weeks. Judge
Brand has been suffering from bron
chitis and grippe, due in part to
overwork and nervous exhaustion
following his illness of some weeks
ago. Reports Saturday were that
he was practically recovered and
may be able to attend the house
session Monday.
To Mark Heroes’ Graves
BAINBRIDGE, Ga., May 6.—On
the public highway between Bain
bridge and Chattahoochee, Fla., is
the site of Fort Recovery, where a
number of soldiers of the wars from
1812 to 1821 are buried. On the site
is a monument with inscriptions of
these facts. A canon has also been
erected, but a dense growth of trees
obstructs the view to passersby.
Mrs. C. S. Hodges was appointed
by the local D. A. R. chapter to in
vestigate the number of soldiers
buried there, that the Daughters of
the Revolution might place a boulder
with tablet by the side of the road
that those in passing would know
that these men lie nearby.
Mrs. Hodges has enlisted the aid
of Senator Thomas E. Watson in
this matter, as well as those soldiers’
graves a.t Fort Hughes and Fort
Scott, both of which are in Decatur
county. The Decatur county chap
ter, D. A. R., has twentysix mem
bers,! and although of small number
and brief organization, it has been
active in locating several things of
interest.

SALEJN TUESDAY
MACON, Ga., May 6.—The sale
of the Hawkinsville and Florida
Southern railroad, which has been
set for next Tuesday, wiii proceed
as scheduled, following the an
nouncement in the Bibb superior
court here today that attorneys for
the Georgia, Florida and Southern
railroad, the Hawkinsville and Flori
da Southern railroad and the Union
Trust and Savings company, of Cin
cinnati, Ohio, had come to an agree
ment on the question of the sale
and the disposal of the proceeds.
This ended the action, which was
begun Friday, when a hearing on
afi injunction asking the court to
set aside the sale and the present
receiver and the second case was
disposed of by a consent agreement
signed by all parties to the suit.
Under the agreement the net pro
ceeds of the sale will be paid to the
Union Trust and Savings company
as trustees of the bondholders, hold
ing $671,000 worth of bonds. It is
expected that the sale will bring a
gross amount of $225,000 into the
hands of the receiver.
By this agreement the purchaser
or purchasers of the road and equip
ment of the Hawkinsville and Flori
da Southern will secure a clear ti
tle to the property.
Following the adjustment of the
proceeds of the sale, there probably
will be action taken by the Union
Trust and Savings company against
the Georgia, Florida and Southern
to determihe whether or not the
difference between the amount paid
from the sale of the H. & F. S. and
the amount due from the G., F. & S.
as guarantors of the $671,000, is
now due or thirty-three years from
date. This is purely an action be
tween the trust company and the
G., F. & S. R. R., and does not in
volve the title of the H. & F. S.
railroad property in any way.
Following the consent agreement,
it was stated by Judge J. T. George
that in event there was an attempt
to junk the northern end of the
road, there might be some further
action taken in behalf of the north
ern patrons to save it and keep it
as a going concern. Nothing defi
nite will be forthcoming, however,
until after the sale Tuesday.

events.
The principal speaker of the day
was Prof. G. M. Spe ks, of Arling
ton, who delivered an uplifting and
timely address on “The Super Man.'
The athletic contest was presided
over by County Agent A. E. Gibson,
who had for his judges, Profs. Jack
Boyett, and Mac Michal, of Cuth
bert. This part of the program was
impaired to a certain extent due to
a heavy fall of rain that began be

of Edison, won first in essay.
Superintendent H. T. Singleton
supervised these contests and had
for his judges, Professor Mac Michal
and members of the faculty of An
drew college, of Cuthbert.
The day as a whole was one that
will long be remembered by those
who attended, and especially those
who enjoy good things to eat, for
this was one of the special items on
the day’s program, dinner being
served on the ground in picnic style.
Superintendent Singleton plans to
make this an annual event and en
ter into it next year on an even
greater scale, allowing the school
scoring the greatest number of
points in the county meet to partici
pate in the district and state meets.

Woodrow Wilson
AS I KNOW HIM
BY JOSEPH P. TUMULTY.
CHAPTER LX.
Taft’s Attitude
Mr. Taft answered the question of
one of the Republican critics if Ar
ticle X would not involve us in war,
in the following statement: <
“Ho\y much will it involve us
in war? Little, if any. In the
first place, the universal boy
cott, first to be applied, will im
pose upon most nations such a
withering isolation and starva
tion that in most cases it will
be effective. In the second place,
we’ll not be drawn into any war
in which it will not be reason
able and convenient for us to
render efficient aid, because the
plan of the council must be ap
proved by our representatives,
as already explained. In the third
place, the threat of the univer
sal boycott and the union of
overwhelming forces of the mem
bers of the league, if need be,
will hold every nation from vi
olating Article X and Articles*
XII, XHI and XV. unless there
is a world conspiracy, as in this
war, in which case the earliest
we get into the war the better.”
Evidently Mr. Taft did not look
Article X as the bueraboo that
Igo pretended it was, for he
le II covers the Monroe
.j and extends it to the
wor.u. The league is not a su
per-sovereign, but a partnership
intended to secure to us and all
nations only the sovereignty we
can properly have, i. e., sov
ereignty regulated by the inter
national law and morality con
sistent with the same sovereign
ty of other nations. The United
States is not under this consti
tution to be forced into actual
war against its will. This league
is to be regarded in conflict with
the advice of Washington only
from a narrow and reactionary
viewpoint.” i
Herbert Hoover, now a member
of Mr. Harding’s cabinet, in a speech
delivered on October 3, 1919, an
swering the argument that Amer
ica would be compelled to send her
boys to the other side, said:
“We hear the cry that the league
obligates that our sons be sent to
fight in foreign lands. Yet the very
intent and structure of the league
is to prevent wars. There is no ob
ligation for the United States to en
gage in military operations or to al
low any interference with our in
ternal affairs without the full con
sent of our representatives in the
league.”
And further discussing the revi
sion of the treaty, Mr. Hoover said:
“I am confident that if we attempt
now to revise the treaty we shall
tread on a road through European
chaos. Even if we manage to keep
our soldiers out of it, we will not
escape fearful economic losses. If the
league is to break down, we must
at once prepare to fight. Few peo
ple seem to realize the desperation
to which Europe has been reduced.”
chapter” XLI.
The Western Trip
TENTATIVE plans for a west
ern trip began to be formed
in the White House because
of the urgent insistence from Dem
ocratic friends on the Hill that noth
ing could win the fight for the
League of Nations except a direct
appeal to the country by the presi
dent in person.
Admiral Grayson, the president’s
physician and consistent friend, who
knew his condition and the various
physical crises through which he
had passed here and on the other
side, from some of which he ha.d
not yet recovered, stood firm in his
resolve that the president should not
go west, even intimating to me
that the president’s life might pay
the forfeit if his advice were dis
regarded. Indeed, it needed not the
trained eye of a physician to see
that the man whom the senators
Were now advising to make a “swing
around the circle,” was on the verge
of a nervous breakdown. More than
once since his return from the peace
conference, I had urged him to take
a needed rest; to get away from the
turmoil of Washington and recu
perate; but he spurned this advice
and resolved to go through to the
end.
No argument of ours could draw
him away from his duties, which
now involved not only the fight for
the ratification of the treaty, but
the threatened railway strike, with
its attendant evils to the country,
and added administrative burdens
growing out of the partisanship
fight which was being waged in con
gress for the ostensible purpose of
reducing the high cost of living.
Ready for Any Sacrifice
One day, after Democratic sena
tors had been urging the western
trip, I took leave to say to the pres
ident that, in his condition, disas
trous consequences might result it
he should follow their advice. But
he dismissed my solicitude, saying
in a weary way: “I know that lam
at t'ne end of my tether, but my
friends on the Hill say that the trip
is necessary to save the treaty, and
I am willing to make whatever per
sonal sacrifice is required, for if
the treaty should be defeated, God
only knows what would happen to
the world as a result of it. In the
presence of the great tragedy which
now faces the world, no decent man
can count his own personal fortunes
in the reckoning. Even though, in
my condition, it might mean the
giving up of my life, I will gladly
make the sacrifice to save the
treaty.”
He spoke like a soldier who was
ready to make the supreme sacrifice
to save the cause that lay closest
to his heart.
As I looked at the president while
he was talking, in my imagination I
made a comparison between the
man, Woodrow Wilson, who now
stood before me, and the man I had
met many years before in New Jer
sey. In those days he was a vigor
ous, agile, slender man, active and
alert, his hair but slightly streaked
with gray. Now, as he stood before
me discussing the necessity for the
western trip, he was an old man,
grown grayer and grayer, but grim
mer and grimmer in his determina
tion, like an old warrior, to fight
to the end.
There was another whose heroism
was no less than his, Mrs. Wilson.
She has since referred to the west
ern trip as “one long nightmare,”
though in the smiling face, which
she turned upon the crowds from
Columbus to San Diego and back to
Pueblo, none could have detected a
trace of the anxiety that was haunt
ing her. She met the shouting
throngs with the same reposeful
dignity and radiant, friendly smile
with which she had captivated the
peoples of England, France, Italy
and Belgium.
At home and abroad she has al
ways had a peculiar power to at
tract the populace, though she her
self has never craved the spotlight.
Like her husband, she finds home
more congenial, and, like him, she
prefers not to be written about.
In her husband’s career she has
played a notable role, the more no
ble because self-effacing. She has
consistently disavowed intention to
participate actively in public af
fairs, and yet in many a crisis she,
out of her strong intelligence and
sagacity, has been able to offer
timely, wise suggestion. No public
man ever had a more devoted help
mate, and no wife a husband ipore
dependent upon hei' sympathetic un
derstanding of his problems. The
devotion between these two has not
been strengthened, for that would be
impossible, but deepened by the
president’s long illness. Mrs. Wil
son’s strong physical constitution,
combined with strength of char
acter and purpose, have sustained
her under a strain which must have
wrecked most women. When the
strong man broke, she nursed him
as tenderly as a mother nurses a
child.
Owes Much to Mrs. Wilson
Mrs. Wilson must have left the
White House for that ill-omened
journey with a sinking heart, fqr
she knew, none better, that her
husband was suffering from accu
mulated fatigue, and that he should
be starting on a long vacation in
stead of a fighting tour that would
tax the strength of an athlete in
pink of condition. For seven prac
tically vacationless years he had
borne burdens too great for any con
stitution; he had conducted his coun
try through the greatest of all wars;
he had contented, at times single
handed, in Paris with the world’s
most adroit politicians; he had there
been prostrated with influenza, that
treacherous disease which usually
maims for a time those whom it
does not kill, and he had not given
himself a chance to recuperate; he
had returned to America to engage
In the most desperate conflict of
his career with the leaders of the
opposition party; and now, when it
was clear even to his men friends,
and much clearer to the intuition
of a devoted wife, that nature was
crying out for rest, he was setting
out on one of the most arduous pro
grams of public speaking known
even in our country, which is fa
miliar with these strenuous under
takings.

RUSS M DENIES
HESOUANDEREOLOHN
WASHINGTON, May 6—Sugges
tions of a mysterious diversion of
American funds loaned to Russia
were denied flatly today by Boris
Bakhmeteff, the Russian ambassa
dor here, and then promptly were
renewed on the floor of the senate.
In a formal statement filed with
the state department Mr. Bakhme
teff declared the $187,000,000 ad
vanced by the United States to the
erstwhile Kerensky government in
Russia all had been properly ex
pended and accounted for to the last
penny in official reports made by
the embassy to the treasury depart
ment. , •
No sooner had ambassador’s state
ment been read in the senate, where
it was sent without comment by Sec
retary Hughes, than Senator Borah,
Republican, Idaho, announced that
he had examined and re-examined
the embassy’s reports and still was
unable to decide what had become
of $87,000,000 of the fund. Later,
outside the senate chamber, he in
timated that he planned some fur
ther important action to support
the case he originally presented on
the senate floor yesterday.
“The proceeding may be a little
unusual,” said Mr. Borah tonight,
after he had re-read the statement
of the ambassador, “but the inves
tigation will be continued.”
Garretts’ Trial May
Be Further Delayed
COLUMBUS, Ga„ May 6.—After
overruling a motion of the defense
to quash the indictment on grounds
that the government was without
jurisdiction, Judge Sibley, in the fed
eral court, late Friday went into
the trial of Wilbur Mack, charged
with the murder of his uncle, Ben
nie Pinkford, on the Benning res
ervation some months ago. The case
had been set for Wednesday, but
couldn’t be reached, and its consid
eration caused a postponement of
the trial of the three Garretts on
charges of conspiracy in connection
with the death of Prohibition Offi
cer Jackson.
The Mack trial was resumed Fri
day morning with several additional
witnesses to be heard and with indi
cations that the case may take up
much of the day. It is now report
ed that the court may be adjourned
when the case is disposed of for the
week-end, and in this event the Gar
rett trials will have to go over till
Monday. When called Thursday

Sumter Farmer Makes
Money on Dewberries
AMERICUS, Ga„ May 6.—The
lowly dewberry, most common of all
wild fruits in south Georgia, is com
ing into its own as a commercial
c op in Sumter county. Four acres
of cultivated dewberries, within a
few miles of Americus, are produc
ing at the rate of S3OO to $350 an
acre this year. This is the third
year the } lants have been cultivat
ed. They are owned by W. J. Josey,
who asserts the yield now is fifty
crates to the acre, for which he finds
a ready market in Atlanta at $7 a
crate.
Mr. Josey set his plans 6 feet
apart each way, using 1,225 to the
acre, the cost of planting being S2O
pex’ acre. Wires for the plants to
cling to cost another $lO per acre,
while the labor, fe- -lizer and other
expenses, Mr. Josey says, will not
exceel $5 per acre, or a ntal first
cost of $35 per acre. The life of
the dewberry plant is placed at be
tween 15 and 20 years. E. J. Mc-
Math,' another Americus man, has
planted an experimental plat to dew
berries and the industry promises to
develop into considerable propor
tions here.

CALOMEL IT HL
It’s Quicksilver, Salivates,
causes Rheumatism and »
Bone Decay , 4]'
The next dose of calomel you take
may salivate you. It may shock your
liver to start bone necrosis. Calo- ♦
mel is dangerous. It is mercury,
quicksilver. It crashes into sour bile
like dynamite, cramping and sicken
ing you. Calomel attacks the bones
and should never be put into your
system.
If you feel bilious, headachy, con
stipated and all knocked out, just go
to your druggist and get a bottle
of Dodson’s Liver Tone for a few
cents which is a harmless vegetable
substitute for dangerous calomel.
Take a spoonful and if it doesn’t
start your liver and straighten you
up better and quicker than nasty
calomel and without making you
sick, you just go back and get your
money.
Don’t take calomel! It can not be
trusted any more than a leopard or
a wild-cat. Take Dodson’s Liver
Tcne which straightens you right up
and makes you feel fine. No salts
necessary. Give it to the children
because it is perfectly harmless and
can not salivate. —(Advertisement.)
How He Cured
His Rupture
Old Sea Captain Cured His
Own Rupture After Doctors
Said “Operate or Death”
His Remedy and Book Sent Free.
Captain Colling-s sailed the seas for
many years; then he sustained a bad dou
ble rupture that soon forced him to not
only remain ashore, but kept him bedrid
den for years. He tried doctor after doctor
and truss after truss. No results! Final
ly, he was assured that he must either
submit to a dangerous and abhorrent op
eration or die. He did neither! He cured
himself instead.
Captain Collings made a study of him
self, of his condition —and at last he
was rewarded by the finding of the meth
od that so quickly made him a well,
strong, vigorous and happy man.
Anyone can use the s. ae method: it's
simple, easy, safe and inexpensive. Every
ruptured person in the world should have
the Captain Collings book,' telling all
about how he cured himself, and how
anyone may follow the same treatment in
their own home without any trouble. The
