HOUSE WAITS DN
FIGHTING SENATE
1 ,
End of Session of Congress In
definitely Delayed by States
Claims Dispute.
WASHINGTON. Aug. 26.—A plan of
campaign wa.« evolved by member* of
the house early today to put the ques
tion of adjournment squarely up to the
senate. The plan, it is «a.ld. included
an agreement bt house members that
after today ho question of a quorum
shall be raised and that a speaker pro
tern, shall he 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 her«-
Thls plan was unofficially circulated
among the members of the sqnate. To
day the senators from Virginia, Oregon.
Maryland and Texas appeared to be
just as firm In their determination to
tight adjournment until the claims of
their states are restored to the general
deficiency bill as they were Saturday
night. Senators I.aFollette and Pen
rose were prepared to stand by their
fight.
No Overtures to Senate.
■ Representative t'nderwood today an
nounced that no overtures would he
made to the senate with regard to the
deficiency appropriation bill or a set
tled date of adjournment.
“So far as the house is concerned,"
said he “the general deficiency bill Is
nut of their hands and on the way to
the president. If the senate insists on
amendments tn this bill which have no
right to be in it, the house can not be
held responsible We are prepared to
stand until the senate shall send word
that it desires a further conference on
this bill."
Congressman Fitzgerald declared to
day the house would never yield. Speak
er Clark Is of the opinion that the house
w ill 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 $600,900 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 then a very much unknown
quantity, and Taft felt that he could
not leave while 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 S2OO
a day for his private car held ready for
immediate use and the provisions to

comfort,

SEARCHING SIDELIGHTS
ON GEORGIA POLITICS
By JAMES B NEVIN.
A great many politicians in Georgia
are taking the results of Wednesday's
primary to mean, among other things,
that the state of Georgia is pretty well
satisfied with the measure of prohibi
tion, real or imaginary, it now has, and
that immediate efforts, at least, to
change the status of things is going to
> 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 whatever 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 by 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 3S 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 lr carried to Its logical conclu
sion.
"We have abolished the old-fash
ioned barroom, where all sorts of heavy
drinks were sold, and substituted for it
a bar in which only beer Is dispensed
"True, we 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

KAISER'S COLD BETTER.
RERUN. Aug 26.—Emperor William.
, who is confined to bis bed in Wlams
hoecastle with a severe cold, is slightly
improved today.
The physicians scoffed at reports that
file kaiser's condition is more seriou«
than the public suspects
TH E ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS. MONDAY. AL G.LST 26. 1912.
flagrantly violated, and the old-time
bars flourish with impunity—those
cities n<*ver will obey any sort of pro
hibition law, perhaps. Certainly not at
this time
"But in Atlantal 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 whisky to beer.
"If that be true —and it will take
time to demonstrate the truthfulness of
the suggestion, to be sure I 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 temperam e In Georgia,
saying:
“I am getting to be an old man I
saw , when I was a boy. barrooms every
where.
"The old cross-roads bar was a com
mon sight then. There was hardly a
fork In tiie country byways that was
not decorated with a doggery. The
farmers then knew what it was to be
harassed by the liquor prob'em in a
manner unknown nowadays These
country bars were almost devoid of po
lice protectioh. and they were breeders
of all sorts of lawlessness
“The first step was to abolish the.
cross-roads bar This was done by the
enactment of law prohibiting bar.-
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 w e drove them from the 'trail
er towns and confined them to large
towns
"Then we closed all the old-time bars
in the cities, and we are now weaning
the 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
ising
“I think the public will reject any
violent changes in the present state "of
things that may be proposed in the
near future."

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“

GEORGIA GIRL ELOPES
WITH ALABAMA MAN
TO NEW YORK TOWN
NEW YORK. Aug. 26.—Miss Alice C.
Brown, of Eaton. Ga.. and Arthur L.
Evans, of Mobile, eloped from their
homes in Dixie to Yonkers to get mar
ried. They sent telegrams to their re
latives yesterday announcing that they
had "just married."
Evans is a traveling salesman and
Miss Brown is an actress. When Evans
asked for his license he said he was in
a hurry, as he had to leave town to
keep business engagements.
He inquired w’here he could find a
clergyman who would marry them.
Some names were given to him and the
couple departed, saying they’ would seek
one of the ministers.
The marriage return has not been
filed yet.
TRAINED NURSE
CURES DIABETES
A letter from a trained nurse. Miss Isa
belle M. Potter, of Portland, Oregon, con
denses to the following:
“I have care of a patient who is taking
your Diabetes Compound. It has been my
pleasure to have several of these eases.
I say pleasure because it is quoted as in
curable. but I can not see it that way.
This patient was in a very despondent
mood, staying in bed most of the time.
Today he was out walking several times,
walking nearly three miles. I am not an
advocate of drugs, as a rule, but when a
patient thinks he needs one thing or an
other I never oppose. My’ patient is im
proving fast. His sight was failing, but
already shows decided improvement.”
The plain fact is that Diabetes, al
though supposed to be incurable, is now
being cured every day in people of mid
dle age and over. We marvel that phy
sicians and hospitals can be content to
see patients slowly succumb under code
ine, arsenaurn. etc., when many of them
can recover ffy the simple use of a mild
infusion under which specific gravity and
sugar begin to decline in most cases with
in twenty days.
There is no uncertainty as to the re
sults for the sugar -can be weighed and
the specific gravity’ recorded and the re
sults noted from day to day. Fulton's
Diabetic Compound is harmless and deli
cate persons take it without injury. It
contains no sedatives.
