There Is no warrant whatever for the

The me of it elsewhere is pure bun

As for the term* "lower and "upper"
house, both houses should be ashamed
to use them—lhe house, because it

it is presumptuous
N'eithei house Is higher or lower than

constitution that warrants a distinc

It was named Wheelei because the

THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN ANT) NEWS. MONDAY, AUGUST 12. 1912.
euchered itself oul of a fine and large
time at Cochran, where a sumptuous
spread had been a> ranged in its honor,
and well, all in all. the ho®se was in
no mood to behave itself or make Itself
particularly pleasant to anybody or
anything coming its way.
But Mr. Vinson made it stick steadily
to its Job of legislating and he Insist'd
that it hustle things along while the
going wa« good The presiding office
permitted no one to get out w ithout the
house's permission, and he stated plain
ly to the doorkeepers that It was up to
them to see that his orders were
obeyed, or they might lose their jobs.
Vinson is an expert parliamentarian,
and is quick in handing down rulings
and opinions. Enough of the house
was with him Saturday to make sucfl
things as he said go. and. notwith
standing the small a tendance and the
evident reluctance of the house to work
of its own accord, a record Saturday’s
work was put over under Vinson's
handling of the gave!
Joseph E. Pottle, of Milledgeville,
known of everybody, is an Atlanta
visitor.
Mr. Pittie is deeply interested In the
race his bi other l« making to succeed
himself on the court of appeals bench,
and was much pleased today to leain
that the bar of Greensboro had unani
mously indorsed Judge Robert Pottle
for that high and honorable position.
To Mr. Gower, of Crisp, will be given
credit for putting through successfully
perhaps the very finest and most com
mendable piece <d legislation that will
be set down eventually Io the credit of
lhe present legislature.
The general insurance act rc.cen.ly
passed Is genuinely' statesmanlike
work.
It brings order out of chaos where
order most urgently was needed. It
puts on the statute books of Georgia
laws under which the business of life
Insurance may be conducted, and must
be conducted, along absolutely dear,
safe and specific lines. It In.poses upon
insurance men good, pan and indiffer
ent —and Georgia has had her share of
all three kinds of la'.o years—the ob
ligation ..f common honesty and de
cency in conducting their business.
I'nder its operation the sharks and
i looks ip the business can not live in
Georgia—that’s all.
Mr. Gower, one of the younger mem
bers of the present house, was chair
man of the special committee of the
legislature under the direction of which
this law was drawn. As such chair
man. the work of getting the bill
through the house fell almost entirely
on him. He acquitted himself with
great credit. No better work has beyn
done In Georgia in many years—and
no better work will be done soon.
l ie Hill Hall speaks nil of the
time. H toper Alexander speaks
some of the lime, and Jack Slaton
speaks none of the time. Voters
can not complain that there is no
choice between the candidates,
anyway.
"Old Man" Callaway. of Tattnall, en
joys the unique distinction of being
the one man in the legislature to hold
a. cornet on that affectionate appella
tion.
There are a number of "Uncles” in
the house, but there is but one old
Man," and he is Callaway.
Mr. Callaway is an experienced leg
islator. and is sent to the house from
Tattnall whenever he wants to come,
without protest. He is a quiet and un
demonstrative member, rarely making
a speech—and if he does, it is so short
that one has to hurry in order to get
there before It is all over.
Like many modest men. Callaway is
invariably on the job when wanted.
He never misses a vote and never ex
plains one. He is rated safe and sane
on all questions and Is one of the
house's most dependable men.

SOOTH ON EVE OF
OiG 0. 0. STRIKE
Vote of Employees Will Be
Known August 24—Demand
30 Per Cent Wage Raise.
MAI'ON, GA.. Aug 12.—The greatest
strike of conductors, trainmen and
yardmen in th" history of Southern
railroad* is ftnminent if other employ
ees throughout the South share the
sentiment of the Macon workmen and
vote as the latter are doing in favor
of a walkout. Nineteen railroads south
of the Ohio and east of the Mississippi
rivers are affected.
The employees of these companies are
now casting their ballots by mail "for”
or "against" a strike, and the result
will be known on Saturday. August 24.
The result will then be communicated
to the railroads as An ultimatum, and
if the proposed new wage scale is not
granted, the strike win be called.
The conductors, trainmen and yard
men have demanded what amounts to
an average raise of 30 per cent in
wages, and in the reply from the gen
eral managers of the railroads refusing
the increases it is declared that the
toads will be bankrupted if the de
mands are granted. It is said that the
increases, if granted, would amount to
more than $4,000,000 a year.
A final conference of the commit
tees from the workmen was held here
Saturday afternoon, with the resull
that the blank ballots were ordered dis
tributed among the employees through
out the South. The Macon employees
are openly stating that they are voting
•oi a strike unless their demands ate
gianted. If a strike is called, railroad
men do not hesitate to say the entire
South's traffic will be tied up to a great,
extent, and passenger transportation
will be seelously handicapped, for a
while at least. Some 8,000 railroad em
ployees are affected.
W. M. Hamilton and H. A. Fox. of
Macon, are chairmen of the two com
mittees from the Brotherhood of Rail
road Trainmen and Order of Railway
Conductors, which met here Saturday
afternoon and perfected plans for the
ballot.

OWN FATHER-IN LAW
NEW YORK. Aug. 12.—Members of
the respective family circles of Geotge

in-law, are today t ying to figure out
their relationships to each other.
Mr Jordan, w ho is 32 years old..mar
ried his mother-in-law a year ago. He
is celebrating the anniversary of the
martiage. Mrs. Jordan is several years
her husband's senior.
Seven and a half years ago he mar
ried her daughter. Miss Blanche New
mark. Their domestic life was happy.
The bride's mother was much with
them, and for once at least the pres
ence of a mother-in-law was congenial
to both sides.
Finally Mis. Newmark came to live
with Mrs. Jorifan. the latter having
made a stipulation to that effect be
fore her wedding
When his first wife died she made
her husband promise that he would
take care of her mother. He kept his
word and a year ago married her.
Just around the corner from Mr. Jor
dan's home Mrs. Philip Newmark,
whose husband is the son of Mr. Jor
dan's wife. She opened her eyes wide
in sir prise w hen she was asked today
whether her mother-in-law- had mar
ried her late sister-in-law's husband.
■'lt’s news to me," she said.
Mr. Jordan was engaged in his duties
in a commission house at the Walla
bout market, but when called up by
telephone he said:
"I am Mr. Jordan and' it is true I
married my mother-in-law. I meant
to keep it quiet. There isn't anything
further to say about it, except that we
are happy.”

BENJ. FRANKLIN WAS
THE INVENTOR OF
THE BIFOCAL LENSES
J ears ago the idea of a two-vision or
bifocal lens was conceived by Benia
min Franklin. Two-pair of glasses was
very annoying to him. and in his own
Words he wrote to Dr. Whately: "Finii
this change troublesome and not al
ways sufficiently readv: I had the gla-s
tut and half of each lens associated
in tile same circle. By this means, as
I wear my spectacles constantly. I have
only to move my eyes up or down to see
tar or near." This was indicative of
(lie genius of Franklin, which was aft
erward known as the split bifocal.
Years later the cement bifocal was in
Iroduced; it is made by cementing two
lenses together, and is still in common
use. I lien came tile idea of using two
pieces of glass of different indice and
fusing them together, making a one
piece-lens of two focal [.owers, which
is ktmw n as the Kryptok Invisible Bi
focal.
But ill- all these there lias always
been a lost vision, sot the intermediate
sight has b.en forgotten. The Hines
Optical t'l.nipany, at 91 Peachtree
street, lias tec.ntly brought out t:
fiqseil Invisible Tri-Focal lens that is
considered tiom a scientific and me
.haliical standpoint to be one of th.-
greatest achievements in the optical in
dustry. i’his lens is made in one solid
piece, witit three distinct focaj powers,
which blend so beautifully into one an
other that it is almost impossible to tell
that a lens of any description is in front
of the eyes: it gives perfect \ “ ion for
the distant, the intermediate as well
as for nea . It in mgs back to us those
happy da> s of childhood, when glasses
were not needed: it restores the sight
i and gives pleasure and comfort nevet
before known with an\ glass. It j* (],.•

FORGER TRIES TO SAW OUT
OF JAIL WITH KNIFE BLADE
. VALDOSTA. GA.. Aug 12.—M. L.
Young, a Clinch county young man who
was convicted of forgery at the last
term of the superior court here, was
prevented by Jailer Lofton from saw
ing his way out of his cell. Young had
obtained a gapped knife blade which he
stuck into an improvised handle and
used as a saw. With this he had sawed
nearly half through the bar that held
the cell door when the jailer discov
ered it. For two weeks Young had
been feigning insanity. The sheriff and
jailer thought for several days that he
was really crazy, but they became con
vinced that he was shamming when he
attempted to escape. Young was con
victed of forging checks on a local
bank.
