SHRINERS OFF TO DM 10
nounced Friday
detail of the pilgrimage to the con
vention of the Imperial Council of
Shriners at Dallas, Tex., was com
plete and Atlanta’s delegation, nearly
200 strong, would leave in a special
train over the Southern Railway at
10 o’clock Friday night.
Reach Dallas Sunday.
Early Sunday morning the Atlanta
pilgrims will have crossed the hot
sands and entered the Oasis of Dallas. I
They will go into the city with their ,
coats on their arms, prepared to j
drown out any discordant note, from
Memphis, or anywhere for that mat
ter, with the now familiar slogan:
‘Atlanta, 1914.’’
At Birmingham. Meridian. Shreve
port and a score of points along the
line, Atlanta boosters will board the
train, and go with the delegation to
Dallas to swell the total and bring
the convention to the Southeast next
year.
Mr. Adajr and his official delega
tion. \Y. A. Foster, John A. Hynds
and Claude H. Hutcheson, of Jones
boro, will extend the invitation.
They will be fortified with official
invitations from the Mayor and City
Council and every trades organiza
tion in the city, as well as open con
tracts from every hotel in Atlanta,
assuring accommodations for as many
as 4,000 Shriners, the number ex
pected here next year.
No “Holdup” in Rates.
The beauty of the hotel contracts,
as explained by Mr. Adair, is that
“inauguration rates” will not be
charged.
'“Only the regular rates." said Mr.
Adair, “will be in force, and 1 have
with the contracts a diagram of the
floor space indicating the room and
the regular rate. They won’t be able
to go above the rate, even if the hotel
men felt inclined to.
“Memphis will not get the conven
tion, because it hasn’t got the hotels
«md the Shriners know it," said Mr.
Adair. "They’re building one now.
hut it won’t compare with ajiy of
the nicer hotels already completed in
Atlanta, and as for the best hotels
there—Atlanta's'got better on the side
streets.

There are scores of nervous,
tired, run-down people throughout

Employs Poetry to
Define Tariff Stand
M
Ohio Statesman Mounts Pegasus to
Declare Lower Cost of Living
Promises Are Vain.
WASHINGTON, May 9.—The muse
struck her lyre in the House again
to-day. when Representative Simeon
D. Fess of Yellow Springs, O., closed
a sarcastic speech on the tariff bill
with some verses on “The Things We
Buy and Tnose We Sell.” Here they
are:
I ain’t uo statesman who can talk of
protection or free trade;
My han's too stiff to hoi’ a pen—that
was made to hoi’ a spade;
Them ten-foot, eddicated word*? my
tongue can't wallop roun’.
But I’ll make things you sell go up,
an’ things you buy come down.
I can’t talk on the currency, nor on
the revenue,
An' on the laws an’ statoots I’m as
ignorant as you;
An’ 1 jest simply promise you, sure’s
1 am Silas Brown.
I’ll make things you sell go up, an
things you buy come down.
The fair ground echoed wide with
cheers and loud huzzas thereat.
For who can make a better scheme
of statesmanship than that?
An' next week at the polls he beat
his rival high and dry—
But things we sell continue low, and
things we buy are high.
