HOUSE WAITS ON
FIGHTING SENATE
End of Session of Congress In
definitely Delayed by States
Claims Dispute.
WASHINGTON. Aug 26.- A plan nf
campaign was evolved by member* of
the houee early today tn put the ques
tion of adjournment squarely up to the
senate. The plan, ft is said, included
an .agreement b.v house members that
after today no question of a quorum
shall be raised and that a speaker pro
tern, shall be designated to call the
house to order every two or three days,
permitting most of the members to
leave, and to conduct business along
this line until the senate gets tired of
staying here.
This plan was unofficially circulated
among the members of the senate To
day- the senators from Virginia, Oregon
Maryland and Texas appeared to be
Just as firm in their determination to
fight adjournment until the claims of
thetr states are restored to the general
deficiency bill as they were Saturday
night. Senators l.aP’ollette and Pen
rose were prepared to stand by their
fight
No Overtures to Senate
Representative I’nderwood today an
nounced that no overtures would be
made to the senate with regard to the
deficiency appropriation bill or a set
tled date of adjournment.

amendments to this bill which have no

Congressman Fitzgerald declared to
day the house would never yield. Speak
er Clark is of the opinion that the house
will meet the compromise. In this event
the deficiency bill probably’ will be
passed In February. 1913.
In anticipation that the senate might
recede, the general deficiency bill, minus
the $606.0110 state claims, which have
been the cause of the fight,, was en
grossed today, so that within a few
minutes It can be forwarded to Presi
dent Taft.
Taft ,Swelters and Waits.
The first train north leav
ing Washington after congress
adjourns will carry President Taft
toward Beverly. That's all any one
here knows today about the time the
chief executive would leave for Massa
chusetts. The adjournment of con
gress was than a very much unknown
quantity, and Taft felt that he could
not leave whlh the national legislature
was in session.
Washington today is In the throes of
the summer's hottest spell. To add to
the president's discomfort was the fact
that all of Mr. Taft's summer clothes
had been sent to Beverly, and he spent
yesterday and today in woolens In
stead of the flannels or crash he is ac
customed to wear. In addition, the
knowledge that it was costing him s2<)n
a day for his private car held ready for
immediate use and the provisions to
stock it did not add to the president’s
comfort. •

SEARCHING SIDELIGHTS
ON GEORGIA POLITICS
A great many politicians in Georgia
are taking the results of Wednesday's
primary tn mean, among other things,
that the state of Georgia Is pretty well
satisfied with the measure of prohibl-.
tion. real or Imaginary, it now has, and
that immediate efforts, at least. to
change the status of thipgs Is going io
meet with failure.
Whatever of rank dissatisfaction
there may be with the present law and
its enforcement would seem to have
been well rounded up In the vote ac
corded Mr. Alexander,
Mr Alexander made the prohibition
question the paramount issue of his
campaign. He based his entry into the
fight against Mr. Slaton upon the gov
ernor's failure to sign the Tippins bill,
after that bill had passed the house
and the senate by a two-thirds vote of
each house.
The gentleman from DeKalb made
the Issue plain from one end of Georgia
to the other. He pictured w hatever of
the horrible there may be in Georgia's
present attitude with respect to the
prohibition law. He said, with vehe
mence. and it was heralded bv the
newspapers everywhere, that Georgia
was "in a state of anarchy."
If any’ man ever was qualified seem
ingly to force the issue of prohibition
at this particular time, Hooper Alex
ander certainly was that man.
And yet, on the issue of "Georgia in
a state of anarchy,” because of the pro
hibition law' as it stands today, Mr.
Alexander was able to carry but one
lonesome county—and that by the nar
rowest sort of margin.
His popular vote was something like
twenty’ per cent only of the total vote
cast.
The conclusion that Georgia is not in
a state of anarchy seems, therefore, by
many to be abundantly warranted.
One of the most pronounced and ar
dent prohibitionists in Georgia, dis
cussing the question of prohibition a
few days before the primary, said:
"Georgia Is trying out a most inter
esting experiment, and I. as a prohibi
tionist and temperance man. would like
to see it carried to its logical eonclu
s lon.
"We have abolished the old-fash
ioned barroom, where all sorts of heavy
drinks'w ere sold, and substituted for it
a bar In which only beer Is dispensed,
"True, yve know that real beer is sold
in these places, and not near-beer,’ so
called. But, as a rule, nothing but bee
ts sold there.
"In one or two big cities the law’ is

flagrantly violated, and the old-time
bar-: flourish with Impunity—those
cities never will obey any sort pro
hibition law. perhaps Certainly not at
this time
But in Atlanta, the capital of the
state, and in the other cities, the law is
well observed. There is not a bar In
this city that sells anything stronger
than beer.
"Gradually, I think, the public taste
for drink in Georgia is being switched
away from wliirky to bee..
"If that be true—and it will take
time to demonstrate the truthfulness of
the suggestion, to be sure—l think pro
hibitionists and temperance advocates
may well pride themselves that much
good has been accomplished."
This Georgian then went on to dis
cuss something of the progress of pro
hibition and temperance in Georgia,
saying:
"I am getting to be an old man. I
saw. when I was a’boy. barrooms every
where.

manner unknown nowadays. These
country bars were a'most devoid of po
lice protection, and they were breeders
of ail sorts of lawlessness
"The first step was to abolish the
cross-roads ba- This was done by the
enactment of law prohibiting bars
within certain distances of churches
and school houses, unless located in in
corporated towns.
"It was a great relief to get the bars
confined to the towns, and, removed
from the rural sections
"Gradually, we restricted the bars to
the cities. We limited their number,
we licensed them high, we regulated
their hours
"Then we drove them from the small
er towns and confined them to large
towns
“Then we closed all the old-time bars
in the cities, and we are now weaning
lhe public away’ from its former taste
for strong drink, and if we can induce
It to confine itself to beer and light
wines for a number of years, logically
we may hope eventually to get rid of
the question entirely.
"Certainly we have made most ex
cellent progress certainly’ the experi
ment we are now undergoing Is prom

"I think the public will reject any
violent changes In the present state of
things that may be proposed in the

When your doctor looks to see if

liver remedy. Dodson's Liver Tone is
mild, pleasant tasting and harmless—
which makes it a fine medicine for us°

The plain fact is that Diabetes, al
