Louisville Editor Gives Reasons
; ■ for Opinion That Missourian
Should Be Chosen.
w
VBW YORK, June 20.—Henry Wat
terson was asked at the Manhattan club
why champ Clark should be nominated
and Woodrow Wilson defeated for the
presidency. The Colonel replied thus:
"The New York World, having knock
ed Champ Clark over the ropes and sent
Judson Harmon and Osca» Undefwood
each to his corner to suck his thumbs,
takes up the gloves for Woodrow Wll
son.
"True to its environment, The World
is of the East, Easterly. It can see
nothing west of the Alleghenies, or
south of the Blue Ridge. 'lt is in the
East,' says The World, ‘that Demo
cratic victory must be won. It is in
the East that Rooseveltism must be
overthrown. It is the East that must |
save the country from a third term and
all it implies.’
"The World is carried away by a
kind of intellectual hysteria. At Bal
timore the Democrats are not only to
nominate a candidate for president.
• Th y are not only to pui a ticket In
the field. They are actually to make a
president, because, to leave Roosevelt
anti Rooseveltism out of the question,
no parts, debauched as the Republi
cans, can hope to prevail in a national
election.
Must Consider Character.
"Hence, at Baltimore, the Democrats
must consider not alone the availabil
ity of the candidate they nominate, but
the character of the man they are to
put in the white house.
"Acting upon a wealth of knowledge
acquired during a period of opportu
nity in friendly service, most reluc
tantly I felt constrained to part compa
ny with the governor of New Jersey.
Os a sudden there came a revelation of
personality, as by flashlight, making it
plain that when the fairy godmother
bent over the cradle of the little Wood
tow Wilson to give him so many bless
ings, he withheld the virtue of fidelity,
without which the rest, however shin
ing. are tainted.
"No honorable man can learn the
faits and inspect the proof which I
> i hold and have repeatedly offered to
produce under proper restriction as to ;
personal rights and party interest, and
remain of the opinion that the govern-
. oi of New Jersey is either a trust
’ worthy or a safe man to be invested
with the Democratic leadership and the
presidential office.
"The World itself appears half-con
scions of this. Dwelling high up in
the air. in utterance, by turns ethereal
and sublimated, our good brother of
the gulden dome affects too often the |
oracular when a modicum of simple
'hoss sense’ were more to the point and
better to the purpose.
"But surmounting its acknowledged
objections and discounting its sinister
auguries. The World proceeds to de
bate the question of availability, when,
in choosing a president, Democrats
need chiefly to consider the question
of character. Os self-willed men af
fecting perfectability—quite too good
tor the use of this world—the people
ire not wholly ignorant. One of them
n the coming race for president were
mrely enough.
Plenty Better than Wilson,
" Who is a better representative of
Democracy than Woodrow Wilson?'
‘ asks The World. Why, any one of a
dozen Democrats in whom the elements
of flesh and blood predominate over the
«!ements of excessive culture and over
wrought ambition; in whom the essen
tlals of every-day wisdom, of loyal
faith, of stable, honorable, generous
manhood, prevail over self-exploited
virtue and dogmatic self-assertion; any
one of a dozen Democrats who have
had even a little experience in public
affairs as against a doctrinaire maxi
of letters who has acquired by a life
time in the class room the tyrannous
cast of wind and the disciplinary habits
of the schoolmaster, and who, suddenly
located to the presidency, would lose
all real sense of the relations of things,
f PV er he possessed any faculty for
making common cause and working to
harness.
The country very much needs an
■ii r Lincoln. It does not need a mild
mannered Roosevelt, which is all that
.- . ■odrow Wilson Is, We may find ob-
, lion to every one named in con
nr-, lion with the Democratic nomina-
V ''on for president, but most of all to
the governor of New Jersey, because
alone among Democrats is repre
-nied as idea). •
Clark Fills Requirements.
• The Democratic party wants a Dem
oi r.it. tried -and true, in the white house.
Wo want no man there who thinks
himself so great, and whose friends
think and tell him he is so great, that
when the test comes he is ’good for
nothing.
Champ Clark has been at Washing
ton long enough to know who’s who
and what’s what. He ought to be and
is good enough for plain people that
want a man and not an angel for their
„ r , Idcnt. He has been In the thick of
factional fighting during revolutionary
times. Inevitably lie has said much he
might have better left unsaid. So have
all of us. If he had not he wotild
have been ill fit for his Job. or for any
other job. A politician, even a states
man. may be too prudent.
Champ Clark is simply a man—an
' honest man a man of ability and ed
ucatlon—a man of flesh and blood. Hu
Is i Democrat. On every essential Is

But to go on with the story—Atlanta
elevators are notable because of the
peculiarly thoughtful i haractei of theii

B’or instance, if a man wants to get
off at the tenth floor the lad who pulls
the rope is never so inconsiderate as
to stop at the eighth. He knows that
it's very irksoine to climb upward, and
besides, it might bring on hard words.)

So in order to avoid embioglios orl
misunderstandings of any sori, he al

twelfth, thereby giving his passenger
an easy ascent to his destination.

"If the clock at Peachtree and De

Second Sunday in May To Be
Celebrated as a National
Fete.
PARIS, June 20.—1 tis now fairly
certain that the second Sunday in May
will henceforth be celebrated as a na
tional fete in honor of Joan of Arc. I
do not think there is any purpose to
do away with the traditional July 14,
which commemorates the taking of
Bastile, for that would profoundly of
fend republican sentiments.
The Joan of Arc movement is no new
I one. A vote in the senate as far back
ias 1894 approved a national holiday
I each year for the maid of Orleans. For
I some reason or other the idea was
shelved by the chamber of deputies.
Then came the Dreyfus affair, and
the hostility to the army to which it
gave rise. The public cult for Joan of
Arc was shorn of many of its out
ward manifestations and the grandiose
ceremonies that has accompanied tiie
maicUs anniversary at Orleans for five
centuries were forbidden by the gov
ernment of the day.
Gives Army Symbol.
When Joan of Ave was beautified by
the pope, it began to be seen that a
magnificent weapon had been put into
the hands of the Catholic party. It
enabled them to rally the people to a
common standard, and it gave to the
army its surest symbol.
M. Mlllerand, since he has been min
ister of war, has spared tio efforts to
restore military prestige and national
patriotism.
The finishing touch to his work would
be, h< considers, th< annual glorifica
tion of Joan of Are by till sections of
the French people, without distinction
whatever.

Outing at Silver Lake Is a
Great- Moral Tonic for
City Lads.
The annual encampment of the Dixie
Boys club Is on at Silver latke. Every
day now the lads are splashing in the
,
water, playing baseball, climbing trees
and having a good time generally.
In order to accommodate a large
number of boys, the club has been
obliged to seek subscriptions from At
lantans, and as yet the full amount lias
not been realized.
George Dorr, superintendent of the
boys club, says this of the camp:
“It takes the boy away from city
] lia inis and gives him a touch of
I wholesome life. When he- returns to
. the city he doesn’t care for the dark
| des. for the "crap" games and ciga
i rette smoking like he once did.”
| , In the above pictures two boys are
shown. One Is in the city and away
from helping influences. He is smok
ing a cigarette, and seems to believe
that he is engaged in an unusually
"devilish" occupation. The other boy
is climbing a tree is strengthening his
limbs and bringing the bloom to his
cheek.

Bids Girls to Earn Their Own Living
BE INDEPENDENT OF MEN
Business Advice to Southern Girls
Train yourself to he independent—to earn your own live
lihood if need he.
Remember that there are many dignified trades and pro
fessions in which a woman can easily make a competence.
\\ lien women lawyers are legalized in Georgia there will
be real dignity and learning added to the profession.
Women will have a far cl'faner life viewpoint when they
know they can provide for themselves.
—Mrs. C. L. Bovard, architect, lawyer and real estate expert.
Train Yourselves for Career,
. Advice of Atlanta Business
Woman to Sisters.
"Every Southern girl, of whatever
station in life, should be trained so she
will be independent of any man in mak
ing her way through the world.”
That statement expresses definitely
the sentiments of Mrs. C. L. Bovard,
Atlanta's successful woman contractor
and real estate dealer, who. incidental
ly, Is a lawyer byway of furnishing
herself one more means of her much
loved independence.
“Personally J would rather be com
peting with men in honest, straight
forward business than managing the
woman’s part of a home," continued
Mrs. Bovard, as she put her signature
to a deed that represented a client’s
investment of several thousand dollars
in Atlanta real estate. “1 think it gives
a woman a clearer, cleaner life view
point if she feels she’ll be able to take
care of herself successfully. Mind. 1
don't say that a home with husband
and children do not constitute the su
preme happiness in a great many cases
or the majority of cases where woman’s
happiness is involved. All the same, if
I were giving advice to girls I would
have them learn the way to make a
comfortable livelihood so that if the
Worst came to the worst they could
still look the world In the face with
out any fear of the poor house."
Practices What She Preaches.
That Mrs. Bovard has practiced quite
thoroughly what she preaches, she ex
plained, byway of showing that one
woman may find even more than one
way of making her way to affluence tn
the South.
Mrs. Bovard still is young, but ten
years ago she was a woman lawyer in
Florida. "1 practiced there." she said,
"and J think 1 may say that the law
brought me a very comfortable inde
pendence In Florida. But I had a nat
ural ambition, to make more money
and friends in Atlanta convinced me
that it would be a pity to throw away
the chance offered by this quickly
growing town. So I came here, but
I could not practice law in Georgia
and I became a real estate agent. Well,
the competition with the men in real
estate became keen. I don’t know, but
I hat it was even a little keener because
J was a woman.
"But certainly I asked no favors. I
told everybody that so long as I was
in business I expected to be treated
just as one business man treats an
other But it wasn't long before I
found it very lucky that I’d practiced
law and knew the ‘ropes.’ Collections
in my real estate dealings became bad
and I found that some of the lawyers
whom 1 employed to make them for
me weren't getting the money as they
ought to. Then I undertook the collec-
get io the cause of
the troutile -incor
rect diagnosis. I
have helped many
a chronic invalid
by being able to
find the cause and
removing it. That’s
why 1 have been
called b crank on
diagnosis. My 39
years of experience
in such diseases, in
cluding diseases of
men and nervous

made it possible for
me to obtain suc

Deafness Cannot Be Cured
by local applications, as they can not reach
the diseased portion of the ear. There Is
only one way to cure deafness, and that is
by constitutional remedies. Deafness Is
caused by an inflamed condition of the
mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube.
When this tube is Inflamed you have a rum
bling sound or Imperfect hearing, and when
it Is entirely closed Deafness is the result,
and unless the inflammation can be taken
out and this tube restored to its normal
condition hearing will be destroyed forever;
nine cases out of ten are caused by Ca
tarrh, which Is nothing but an Inflamed
condition of the mucous surfaces.
We wtll give One Hundred Dollars for
any case of Deafness (caused by catarrh)
that cun not. be cured by Hall’s Catarrh
Cure. Send for circulars free.
