CANAL IS KEY TO
WORLD’S TRADE,
SAY BRITONS
British Paper Upbraids England
for “Permitting” U. S. to
“Make Profit of It.”
LONDON, Sept. 17.—The London Out
look devotes a large part of its space
this week to attacks on the United States
over Panama affairs, despite numerous
warnings cabled from New York by cor
respondents of the English press that
unJess British criticism is modified Amer
ican opinion will become unanimous in its
support of the Panama act.
Among The Outlook's articles is one
headed, “The Apostle of Arbitration,"
which Is an attack on President Taft for
his defense of the measure. This article
ends:
■Mr. Taft will have to climb down from
the extremely elevated position he has
assumed. Happily, the American peo
ple. to their great credit, have refused to
support their president In his recent do
ings.”
The Outlook publishes a letter from
Major General T. Bland Strange, in whioh
he says:
Key to World's Future Commerce.
“Whoever holds the Isthmian canal of
America will hold the key of the revolu
tionized commerce of the world's future."
This letter refers to “the monstrous ac
tion of the United States, permitted by
our present pusillanimous government, of
putting warships on the Great Lakes,
contrary to the treaty of 1817.”
This letter concludes, "When a treach
erous neighbor asks to be allowed to put
a pistol to your head as a proof of amity,
the man or nation that allows It has no
brains worth blowing out.”
C. H. Norman also contributes a war
like letter, in which he says:
“The United States may give way un
der pressure of an armed and indignant
Europe, but the advisers of President
Taft will not submit unless they are sat
isfied that there is something more than
words in British protest.”
Takes Comfort In Varilla Treaty.
After editorially summarizing the views
recently expressed by Bunau Varilla, The
Outlook says:
It appears then that If the United
States break the Hay-Paunoefote treaty
they also break the fundamental treaty
which they entered Into with Panama.
Suppose this last treaty were brought be
fore the supreme court by the Panama
republic. Thie court would have to do
one of two things: It might annul the
Panama canal act because It le against
the Hay-Bunau Varilla treaty, which
gives the United State* their title to the
canal. If it uphold the Panama canal aot
as entitling the states to make discrim
ination of tolls in their favor against
other nations, this would be taking away
their very right and title to the canal it
self under the Hay-Bunau Varilla treaty.
"Dilemma of United States.”
“This is the dilemma in which the
United States are left. By the convention
of Constantinople, included in the Hay-
Pauncefote treaty, they must make equal
and just charges on all users of the canal.
The Suez Canal Company, having done
so, may dfvlde Its profits, but the United
States is not, or should not be, a com
mercial concern. The states, however,
are claiming the right to levy tolls to
meet all charges of construction and
maintenance and working and interest on
capital on all ships but American; they
make a profit out of the canal as well as
unfairly burden their competitors. The
more honest way would be to benefit their
shippers by subsidy and not take the
money out of the pockets of the rest of
the world.”

SEARCHING SIDELIGHTS
ON GEORGIA POLITICS
John Copeland, deputy commissioner
of insurance, and, after the comptroller
general, the head of the insurance bu
reau of the state
of Georgia, is the
baby member of
the official family
of the state eapi
tol.
Mr. Copeland is
just turned thirty,
and is compara
tively a young
man for so re
sponsible a posi
tion: but he is
widely experienced
in the insurance
business, and be
fore coming to At
lanta was con
nected with the
Empire Life, of
Macon, as a star

man.
He is a son of Hon. Frank Copelana.
who several times represented Walker
county in the general assembly, and Is
now a practicing attorney in Rome.
John Copeland Is an authority on
rugs. Outside his official work, nothing
so delights him as the science of rug
ology. What Copeland doesn't know
about rugs long ago was yanked out of
the book, and now is past his finding
out.
When he moved into his quarters in
the capltol some two weeks ago. he
found things not much to his liking, so
far as the condition of the same was
concerned.
The walls of the main room were
dark and dreary; the floors were cov
ered with a linoleum-like thing that
surely had seen better days. Dust
seemed more or less perfectly at home
around and about the place, and —oh,
worst of all!—not a rug was to be dis
covered anywhere in his new vicinity
of endeavor.
Copeland got some painters, some
scrubbers, some rubbers, and some
dusters on the job, right off the reel;
and pretty soon he had that old office
looking as fresh and sweet as offices
can be made to look—minus rugs!
He took a day off when all the clean
ing had been done and prepared to
enjoy himself —he resolved to devote
one entire Thursday to the selection
and purchase of rugs.
He ransacked every ruggery in the
Gate City, from cellar to garret, hunt
ing rugs that pleased his artistic eye
and seemed most adapted to the ne
cessities of his office.
After buying more new rugs than
had been brought into the state capitol
before in all its ancient and honorable
history. Copeland resolved himself into
a reception committee of one—on rugs
—and hiked back to the capitol to wait

the arrival of the children of his taste
rugwise.
That was a happy day for John Cope
land—one of the very happiest he ever
knew, or ever will know!
No matter how heavy the work gets
now or how difficult the insurance
problem to solve, there are those pre
cious rugs scattered about the place—
and they are very soothing to Cope
land's nerves, and keep him in a good
natured frame of mind, no matter what
happens.
Representative H. W. Hopkins, of
Thomas county, recently re-elected to
the house, thinks it would be a good
idea to have a "legislative day” at the
Georgia state fair at Macon, and he
proposes that members of the old house
and members-elect of the new get to
gether and arrange for the same.
Hopkins’ idea Is that a very large
percentage of the old membership, and
practically all of the new. would be
only too glad to enter into such an ar
rangement. and that it would furnish a
fine occasion and opportunity to get
acquainted all the way around, to
everybody’s pleasure and very great
benefit.
A number of members to whom Rep
resentative Hopkins has talked con
cerning his idea have expressed them
selves as heartily in favor of it. and
the suggestion doubtless will be car
ried out.
Mr. Hopkins thinks that Joe Hill Hall
should be made the particular guest of
honor on ‘legislative day” at the fair,
and this further suggestion Is sure to
meet with great favor.
Comes the following inquiry to Side
lights:
Marietta. Ga., Sept. 15, 1912.
Dear Sir—ln case Governor
Brown should resign, to take ef
fect immediately, would the Hon.
John M. Slaton be governor? This
being true, would he again have to
call a special election to fill out
the remainder of Governor Brown's
term? Also, could he be a candi
date for this unexpired term?
MARIETTA READER.
In the circumstances proposed. Slaton
would become acting governor, just as
he did when Hoke SmltW resigned; he
would have to call another special elec
tion to fill out Brown's unexpired term;
and he might be a candidate for that
unexpired term, If he so desired.
In the event of a vacancy occurring
in the governorship within six months
of the expiration of the gubernatorial
term, the president of the senate would
become acting governor until a new
term began.
Says The Savannah Press:
Hooper Alexander spent consid
erable money in his race for gov
ernor. but as most of it came from
Hooper’s friends, he probably
doesn’t feel so badly about It.
Rather a back-handed swat at Hoop
er, isn’t it'.’
meal, then take a little Diapepsin.
There will not be any distress —eat
without fear. It’s because Pape's Dl
pepsin "really does” regulate weak, out
of-order stomachs that gives it its
millions of sales annually.
Get a large fifty-cent case of Pape’s
Diapepsin from any drug store. It Is
the quickest, surest stomach relief and
cure known. It acts almost like magic
—it is a scientific, harmless and de
lightful preparation which truly be
longs in every home.

CHARGE PROSED
City Investigates the Opera
tions of Private Sleuths Ac
cused by Woman.
The entile machinery of the city de
tective department is in motion today
in a searching investigation of the
charges made to Police Chief Beavers
by Mrs. Hattie Barnett, woman detec
tive, to the effect that unlicensed pri
vate detectives are furnishing protec
tion to illegal houses.
Following his conference with Chief
Beavers, Chief of Detectives Lanford
gave all of his detectives specific in
structions to spare no pains in arriving
at the truth of the situation. As a re
sult the workings of private sleuths
will be closely scrutinized.
So far Mrs. Barnett has had no fur
ther conference with Chief Beavers, but
she indicated she would within the next
few days. This conference will be
awaited witlt interest by the police of
ficials, as Chief Beavers has informed
her that he can not proceed without
definite evidence, and Mrs. Barnett has
promised “something more interesting."
Both Chief Beavers and Chief Lan
ford say they never have heard com
plaint concerning any private detec
tives. and that so far as they know the
private detective business here is con
ducted in a perfectly legitimate man
ner. They say, however, that Mrs.
Barnett's charges are of such a nature
that they are compelled to make an
investigation

AUTOPSY ON GIRL IS
CAUSE OF SUIT FOR
SIOO,OOO IN DAMAGES
ST. LOUIS, Sept. 17.—An autopsy
into the death of Miss Emma Knost,
alleged to have been performed with
out consent of the dead girl's relatives,
is the basis of a SIOO,OOO damage suit
filed in the circuit court Saturday
against Dr. Ben L. Dorsey, Dr. T. A.
Martin, and Michael J. Cullen and Pat
rick Kelly, comprising the undertaking
firm of Cullen & Kelly.
The plaintiffs are Louis Knost, fa
ther of the dead girl; Louis Knost. Jr.,
and Edward Knost. her brothers, and
I<ia Roseman and Bertha K. Fink, her
sisters.
Miss Emma Knost, who was twenty
years old, died in a St. Louis hospital
February 7 last. Cullen & Kelly were
employed to take charge of the body.
The petition alleges the undertakers
permitted the surgeons to perform an
autopsy without consent of the rela
tives.
The father, brothers and sisters de
clare in their petition that “they dearly
loved Emma, and were horribly shocked
when they saw her mutilated body."
