Nebraskan States His Position on
the Nemination and
the Treaty
By WILLIAM PHILLIP SIMMS,
Staff Correspondent of the I. N. S.
WASHINGTON, March 17.=~“1 am
not a candidate,” William Jennings
Bryan told the International News
Serviee upon his arriva! here today
from the South,
¥ “T do not desire the nomination,”
he explained, “and do not expect
any conditions to arise which will
present the subject in the light of a
duty, and in no «her light would 1 Be
willing to consider it. g
“T will not promise in advance to
accebt it under any condition. I sim
ply refuse to consider the subject un
til the conditions arise which, in
themselves, justify its consideration.”
“This, the commoner said, rep
resents his exact attitude and, put in
any other way, would give a wrong
impression.
DEMOCRACY UNDERSTOOD. '
“Democracy is a very old word and
a word well understood all over the
world,” said Bryan. “We sacrificed
more than 100,000 previous lives and
spent over $20,000,000,000 to make the
world safe for democracy. To make
‘our own Senate safe for democracy is
as little as we can do.
“If the Democrats in the Senate,
after fighting for the treaty for some
eight months, now join the ‘irrecon
cilable’ enemies of the treaty to de
feat the will of a majority after that
will has been emphatically expressed,
we might as well go into involuntary
bankruptcy. ‘
“But I will not believe such a thing
possible unless it is actually done. ;
“The Article X reservation was!
» adopted 56 to 26—that is four more;
than two-thirds. ‘lf we subtract the
votes of the thirteen so-called ‘ir
reconcilables’ from the 56, we have}
43 votes left—l 7 more than the 28
minority votes.
CAN APPEAL TO PEOPLE.
“All the reservations have been
carried by a majority and most of
them by two-thirds. What moral in
fluence can we hope to have in sup
port of democracy in Europe if we
are not willing to acquiesce in the
will of the majority here?
“If the Democratic party thinks the
Senate made a mistake, it can appeal
to the people to reverse the mistake
at the polls, and instruct those elect
ed this fall to restore any of the con~‘
ditions stricken out if the people want
them restored. ‘
“But the Democratic party can't
afford to resist the application of itsl
principles unless it is ready to go
out of business and forfeit its rightl
to a name which implies rule by the
people.”
Immediately after he had reached
his hotel he went into conference with
Senator Robert Lowen of Oklahoma
and other Democratic leaders, who
put him in touch with the latest de
velopments in the treaty dispute.
“lI am expecting the ratification nf,
the treaty,” the Commoner said, “on
the theory that the Democratic party |
will not repudiate the principlgs onl
which it was built and on which it
makes its appeal to the public.” |
TO TALK IN NEW YORK.
Bryan will leave Washington to
morrow night for New York to keep
a speaking engagement there. After
which follows a tour on tHe stump
which will carry him into Nebraska
before the April primaries.
Bryan arrived here today en
route for the San Francisco con
vention via New York, . Boston,
Indiana, Illinois, Nebraska, lL.os An
geles and points between.
The Commoner’s arrival coincided
with the final spasms of the treaty
wrangle in the Senate, and before
nightfall, his friends predicted, he
will have flung the whole weight of
his influence inte the balance for rat
ification on the best terms possible,
in direct opposition to the wishes ot
President Wilson, Senator Hitchcock
and other leaders of the Democratic
party. ‘
Bryan is scheduled to speak in New
York Fridav night at a'dinner ten
dered him by his foHowers there. In
a way this dinner will mark the he
ginning of his campaign for the Dem
ocratic nomination. But St. Patrick's
Day in Washington finds ~him at
Jocked horns with the administra
tion, vehemently opposing what he
denounced as the “farce” of a cam
paizn based on the treaty of Ver
sailies.
Brvan's chances of swinging enough
Democratic senators his way to bring
ahont the treaty's ratification is con
sidered by both Democrats and Re
rublicans here as the most forlorn of
forlern hopes.
Senator Hitchoek, whom Bryan is
destined to meet again in Nebraska.
in' a bitter fight for a place in that
State's delegation to the Democratic
convention, has behind him twenty
three Democrats, who, it is believed
will not be budged an inch even by
the Commoner’'s eloguence. and with
them. it ig claimed, are sufficient ‘ir
reconcilables” to prevent the passage
oi the pact as amended by the Lodge
reservations.
Death Sentence of
Negro Is Commuted
(By International News Service.)
MONTGOMERY, Ala., March 17—
Governor Kilby has commuted the
death sentence of Sam Rice, negro, to
life imprisonment.
‘Because the governor feared the
negro would be lvnched if the news
of the commutation were divulged
hefore he was placed in the peniten
tiarv it was withheld since Monday.
Riee was arcused of glaying a white
man named Joe Whitney at Bay Min
atte while the two were sighing in

There are only three Agnes Scott girls here, and they are deeply interested in their reflections as colloge girls should be.
At this moment, however, they are studying the art of make-up. From the mirror to the right they are: Caroline Moody, Jessie
Watts and Gladys Brown.

Fame Awaits Writer
.On Science of Opera
- Ticket Psychology
“Tewish,” said Jack Sglter, as he
stepped out ‘of the grand opera
ticket booth, over at the Cable Piano
Company and abdicated his throne at
the window to a lady ticket seller—
“l wish some of these psychology
experts could come down here ‘and
study these folks. I'm sure they
could write a whole book about a
brand new science. I call it ‘opera
ticket psychology.'
“There’'s «a sample for you,” he
whispered, indicating the colonel
who had just stepped over to the
little table at one side to write out a
check. ‘“He’'s what you might call
the very deliberate type, the judicial
type, the-er-er-super-judicial type.”
The colonel had just spent exactly
eighteen minutes at the window, try
ing to make a decision between two
sets of tickets equally excellent, while
the line behind him stretched itself
over the store. Now he sat gazing
at his check book—sans action—
whjle another line formed behind
him. Salter stepped over and ad
dressed him charmingly:
“Here's a pen, sir.”
“Thank you, I have my own foun
tain pen.” < And, still deliberately,
the colonel hauled it out and slowly
wrote the check. Then he stopped
‘“Here's a blotter,” volunteered
Salter.
“Thank you, I have my own blot
ter!” And the colonel dug into an
inside coat pocket, found his own
special, very particular, personal
blotter and ,used it—very deliber
ately.
“Don’t forget to tell him about the
excitable type,” suggested Lawrence
Evans, standing by. : |
“What's that?” asked the reporter.
“Oh! She comes in _all a-flutter,
and she usually knows just what she
wants, but she has the dickens of a

WASHINGTON, Mareh' 17.—Presi
dent Wilson has stated his views on
the Turkish question in a communi
cation to Under Secretary of S(atol
Polk.
It is understood that this commu
nication will be used as the basis of{
a communication which will go for-j
ward to the alliés in reply to their
message informing th_is government
of the tentative agreement for the
‘settlement of the Turkish problem.
~ The argument - provides . that the
‘sultan shall remain in Constantino
‘ple, although Turkish military forces
'shall be withdrawn.
Tiecognition of ‘the independence of
Armenia has been, approved by the
President. The proposer settlement,
however, draws no boundary lines
for Armenia, and it is likely that the
President has offered suggestions
along these lines.
Sheriff Shot by Negro
Expected to Recover
MACON, Ga., March 17.—Sheriff L.
P. Player and Deputy J. T. Dixon of
Wilkinson <County, who were shot
yvesterday by Will White, a negro, are
at the Macon Hospital. The sheriff
was shot in the abdomen and the|
deputy was wounded in the righ!i
lung. A posse of Wilkinson County |
ctizens are in Macon today aiding the
police in trying to loecate the negro,
who ig believed to be hiding here.
The sheriff and his deputy went tol
White's house so arrest him for|
shooting his wife last Sunday night. |
When the officers advanced the negm‘
drew his pistol and fired. They ro‘[
turned the shots, but White escaped. |
Whether he was hit is not known. Hei
was traced to Jeffersonville, 12 miles
from his. home, and is believed to|
have taken a train for Macon. Doc- |
tors say both officers have a chance|
to recover. \}
February Gasoline ]
Fees Increase 33 1-3 Pet.|
Fees paid into the State treasury
for oil and gasoline inspections dur
ing February by the State department
of agriculture amounted to about;
$32.000, an increase of 33 1-3 per cent
over the fees the same month a year |
ago.
In February, 1919, fees amounted to
a little over $21,000 for the incpec
tion of 5,641,352 gallons. Basing the
rate of increase for 1920 on the same|
percentage as that shown for P‘eb-|‘

be about $400,000. !

. “The excitable type—all tlustered“

At this point Salter submitted
Hunhor scientific data:
“Mpst of the people who come to
that window shown, say, three
sets of seats, one absolutely as good
as the other, will first demand that
‘the person at the window oxpress‘
‘an unwilling opinion as to which is

’he or she, anxious to take the pur

satisfied, will usually recommend a

“And, listen! A man will stand
near the window for fifteen minutes
studying a diagram. Then he will
walk over, put his pencil on one par

that?
“If, by the graece of the gods, we
should be flhi to answer, ‘Yes,’ he
will be flustfated for about thirty
seconds until be can think of some
other place where he can put his
pencil, and will then come out with
this:
“‘Um! Well-er, have you got any
of those over there?
“Of course,” added Mr. Salter,
“there are inmnumerable little pecu

too, but they are not so easily c]as-,

ALBANY, Ga., March 17.—The h\rmi
of Dougherty County Superior Court|
here next Monday, March' ‘22,
promises to be the most important in
this county in recent years. On ll\f-l
unusually heavy docket will be two
murder cases and one arson case, in
volving several white persons.
Chief interest will perhaps center
in the trial of the Moultrie men|
charged with the mutder of Murmn‘
C'. Cellins, an Albany police officer
in the redlight district here I~‘v:-hrn-!
ary, 9. R. S. English, a former A, K.
. lieutenant, is' held here \\'ilhnnl]
bond, charged with being the prin-!
cipal, and Jack Horkan, son of a]
‘weaithy Moultrie citizen, is at large|
‘umlm‘ bond of $20,000, charged \\‘l(h|
being an accessory. Both have re-
Muinr\d able counsel and _a notable
legal battle is expected.
Of equal public interest is the case
against Fred B. Best, a leading fm‘m-‘
er of this county, charged with kill
ing Bayard Dozier, ‘another wol}
known farmer, a member of one of
the oldest familles in South Geor
gia. The Killing took place on Best's
farm, December 11, and was Wit~
nessed by H.. I. Cromartie, ('oun:y“
farm agent. It is charged Best shot
Dozier in the back after the Ial!m“
had fallen' to the ground. Best has
never made a statement and his at
torneys refuse to discuss the case.
The case against Alex and Frank
Sewell, young white men charged
with arson, will likely be tried at this
term of eourt, the former's case re
sulting in a mistrial at the fall term.
They are charged with conspiring
i\\'ith Mary Carter to burn her home
for the insurance,

It was 2 fine chance for real, dyed
in-the-wool Americans,
And mighty few of the thousands
who sent in “last lines” to the pa
triotic limerick, No. 32, in The Geor
gian's series, overlooked the oppor
tunity. :
“That SHE made the kaiser tarn
tail,” is the winning last line and
the author is I. T, Wheeier, 511
Southarn Qailway Bnilding.
Here's the whole limerick:
Thes American people turn pale
As British walks off with their
“kale,” i
But it gets on their nerves
When she blithely olserves,
“That SHE made the kaiser turn
tail.
So Mr. Wheeler can ca'll on the
limerick editor and get SSO in gold—-
good American gold!
Speaking of patriotism and Amer
ican “kale,” SSO will buy 200 25 cent
thrift stamps, or a Liberty Bond.
Nearly every limerick farn seems, has
some payticular use for that SSO,
When “Nellie” of Cleveland, Ga.—
she is a 9-year-old eirl and in the
fourth grade—sent in her ‘last line'
—TO THE—
THURSDAY, FRIDAY and SATURDAY
In her heart of hearts Kathleen knew ‘ ot
that Charley Steele—the most admired
and feared, hated and desired man in
Montreal—was not the one she loved.
But to resist the spell of his mastery—
she could not. He dazzled and dis
turbed her. * * #
