THE HOWARD SUBMARINE
New* of the death of F. P. Howard,
thn Invent'd* of the llownrd eubmn
rlno, la told In the dispatches of the
dally prees. Ho died at. the age of
75 and wan aald to have been opposed
t< war, claiming that hla Invention
was In the Internet of pence, na It
would tend tn cripple the enemy’H
powerful hattlrnhlpa without destroy
lng life.
The Tlnlted State* government took
over the Howard submarine and is
now owner of the right to manufac
ture. It waa probably thought to he
too dangerous an engine of deatruc
tton to he lodged in tha hands of a
foreign nation. It had already given
too many proofs aa a destructive
agent for Uncle Ham to take any
chances of Its falling Into alien hands.
The effectiveness of the Howard
submarine waa demonstrated during
the Ruaalan-Japaneae war. In point
of fact, the superiority of the navy
of the Japs over their adversaries la
aald to have been due to their having
a number of these terrible little diver*.
It will he recalled that at the out
break of that war a Japanese fleet
appeared before Port Arthur end
n>a<le a demand upon the Russian*
that thay art out of the t'hlneee pen
Insula of Menchurla and stand not
Upon tha order of their going Tlpou
thatr returning aoma evasive reply and
making no mova to go, the war Pagan
without further ado.
One of tha Ruaainna' grrateet hat
tloahlpe waa blown clear out of thn
water and not a soul on board was
saved This waa tha Japs first dec
laration of war And this perform
ance was attributed to a Howard sub
marine.
Again, when the Japs met tha Rus
sian fleet from the Mack Sea and
readily destroyed It, the Howard sub
marines were said to have played an
Important part tn the business.
W# have no means of knowing how
many Howard submarine# will be
employed In the European war now
going on nor what figure they will cut.
but wa do know that suhmartnsa of
aoma make are In all tha great navies
of tha world powers and are highly
esteemed for thatr destructive energy.
Going under tha water at tha enemha'
ship > Is almost as much a part of the
naval warfare of the present as go
ing over tbs water and Is far more
practical In Its results thsn the air
ships have yet become.
In the Invention of hie submarine
Mr. Howard may have considered him
self a great pacificator and a bene
factor of tha human race. It all de
pends upon the angle from which you
view the question. lint, on the same
principle the Inventor of the rapid
fire machine gun might claim tbe
game distinction. That short, quid,
work Is the bast way to and the mat
ter. In this particular, aa well as
wholesale elocution, three two mar
Chines excell.
HOKE AND HARDWICK IS THE
TICKET
Congressman Hardwick made a
telling point tn hie Atlanta speech In
that ha declared Georgia would nullify
the great work Hoke Smith la doing
In ibe senate if the state elected .1
senator who would right Hoke Smith
and the work of the administration.
He declared Brown, hacked by Wat
•on. and Slaton, backed by Hearet,
Would be antl-WHaon men—that to
elect Hoke Smith for his good work
and to give Slaton lha other place -
would mean to nullify the good work
Hoke Smith Is dolng-that Slaton
would oppose Smith tn tha senate as
be always had tn Georgia "Jack
bates Hoke." say* Hardwick.
Better give Georgia two adminis
tration senators - two Wilson men In
the senate. Or If the voters or the
State wish to repudiate the work of
the Wilson administration and send
anlt-Wllson men to the senate, lei's
go the whole hog and elect Brown and
Slaton Whatever the party In Geor
gta doea, let'a make It whole-hearted
and unanimous, If we want to get
the beat result* for the etate. Hrt'e
•take it either one thing or the other.
Hoke and Hardwick Is one ticket
Brown and Slaton la another.
WILLIAM’3 CHOICE
Once upon a time there was a wood
cutter and his wife who lived on the
edge of a forest. They had one son
named William; at least, they called
hlrn their son, for the woodcutter
found him on the steps one morning
and had taken him in.
But the woodcutter was very poor,
and now William was grown and
there was no money to educate him.
“Let us divide the little we have
with him and send him out into the
world to se< k his fortune,” said his
mother.
Ho they railed William to them and
told him what they intended to do.
”We have five pieces of gold,” said
his father; "you shall have three, as
you will need more than we.
William took the gold and told them
he would make his fortune and cornu
hark to take care of them.
Hi ormp t«T of>oli! _
•*, TO the. OUTAT*»TCA4«I> H**k«
THE IMifekC*
"He «n honest man,” said hlg moth
r-r, “and whatever you do remember
that a clear conscience can only ho
had by being honest.”
"And when you are dtgeouraged,"
*ald hi* father, "remember that there
are many worse <M than you."
Ro Will started on his Journey. Ho
traveled for a day or two without
meeting nny one. but Just as he came
to tho city he saw a poor v/oman sit
ting by the toadalde with a baby In
her arms.
William stopped and spoke to her.
Hhe told him her hahy was 111 and
that alto was taking It to a doctor In
the city.
William thought of hts gold "If I
do not help this woman," he thought
"1 shall not be honest," and so he put
a piece of gold Into her hand.
Commissioner Price Replies
Vigorously to Charges
(Advertisement.)
TO THE PEOPLE OF GEORGIA:
Ah a rawiidHt© to Hiioeerd niygelf
for a H<*( ond torm an Commissioner of
Aicrli ulturn. I want the voters of
(tooriria, before going to the polls on
August l»th, to know All the farts in
ronnertion with two points which
hear directly on this race.
First The rei'ord of what I have
ncromplished in the year I have been
Commissioner
Second The falsity of the charges
brought by my opponent, J J. Brown,
that I wan not entitled to the nomina
tion in 1912.
Hero la the official record of some
of the moat Important work that has
been accomplished by the department
under my direction during the yaat
year:
In tha first alx months of 1914, 11,-
44k samples of fertilizer were taken,
an Increase of 1,879 samples over the
entire year of 1912. Of this number
2,672 were specials tn which report# of
analysis were sent direct to the far
mer.
During the past year 1 have turned
Into the state treasury to be used for
education of the farmer hoys and girls
of Georrla 980,000.00 more than has
ever been put Into the treusury by
any other Commissioner of Agricul
ture In a similar period.
We have analyzed 1.198 sarnies of
foods, feedstuff# and drugs. All agen
cies working In behalf of agriculture
In Georgia haie hern harmonized and
under my administration as shown
In the annual report to the governor,
more work has been accomplished by
the state entomologist, the state vet
erinarian and slate oil Inspector than
In any preceding year.
1 have been a loyal organized Dem
ocrat all of my life, having always
supported the Democratic nominee
Can my opponent say as much?
I have never been connected with
any fertiliser or guano company. Can
my opponent aa.v aa much?
J am ihe only candidate who Is a
practical farmer. 1 have farmed all of
my life.
NOW AS TO THR CHARGES
BROUGHT BV MY OPPONENT:
He has not attacked my record of
efficiency In office. Hl# sol* claim Is
that he did not get the nomination at
the Macon convention. I-et tho record
of that period speak:
When A. O. Blalock, the third can
didate In the primary of 1912, with
drew his name on the convention floor
he made an Impassioned speech charg
ing that J. J. Brown was supported
by the fertiliser trust, and appealing
to his frit-lids to vote for a real farm
er As a result of this speech Mr
| Blalock's strength did In a large meas
< lire coma to me and I was declared
the nomine* of the convention.
The officers and members of that
'convention were gentlemen, ani the
| people of Georgia elected every nom
, Inee of the convention
Had 1 lost the nomination at the
convention, I would hava taken my
defeat like a man and would not have
whimpered about tt Somebody had
I to win and soniehtvdy had to lose, and
I 1 believe ths people of Georgia have
little patience with a chronic kicker.
Since the 1915 convention haa been
; mado an Issue 1 may state that while
Imy record la clean that of my oppe
i cut Is not It Is a matter of history
I that a representative of Mr. Brown
j vv.i* on the floor of the convention
* with a pocket full of blank appoint-
I ment commissions tr>tng to trads
! them for convention votes
And the methods being used by Mr.
j Brown In the present campaign are
no more creditable to him Ilian those
Ihe uaed tn tha convention.
I Mr Brown and hit friends are raak-
He stopped at a house and asked
for work.
"What can you do?” asked the
man.
"I am willing to do anything that
Is honeat," replied William.
The man told him to go to work In
his stable and care for the horses.
This man was not rich, but he
wished to make a display, and he gav«
his poor horses so little to eat that
William spent the small wages he re
ceived for the first month for food
for the poor, starved beasts.
One day another servant was taken
sick, and the master turned him out
bet suae he could not work.
"Hero Is a man that Is worse off
than I am," said William. "I have two
pieces of gold. I must help him.” So
he took the man to the hospital.
"Now, I must find work at once,"
said William, "for I have only one
piece of gold left," but he had not
gone far before he met a poor beggar
who was blind.
"If I pass him without giving hint
my last piece of gold, said William,
"1 shall not be honest, and he Is worse
off than I am.”
Ho dropped the piece of gold Into
the outstretched hand of the beggar
and hurried away.
The next place that be asked for
work waa at the door of a rich man.
William worked here for a long time,
but he rPcelved only small wages, anil
at the end of a year he had saved
very little.
"I cannot make a fortune and be
honest to myself and everyone else,”
he said, "I'll go home and live with
father and mother. They are old and
need me and I can support them by
cutting wood We shall h&vs very
little, but we shall he happy and that
means a great deal.
His father and mother were pleased
to see him. "Hut where is your for
tune?" they asked.
William told them how his gold was
spent and that he found the rich and
poor alike In their greed for gold.
"There are so many In the world
who need help," he told his father and
mother, "that we can only care for
those that are nearest to us, and my
duty Is here."
And so William lived with his father
and mother and took cars of them.
They were repaid for taking Into their
home a friendless babe and William
lived a contented life, feeling sure he
liad been right In ail things.

Newspaper Syndicate, New York City.)
Monday’s story—" How Billy Pin
Kept Houee.”
Ing promises all over Georgia of oil
and fertilizer Inspector appointments.
Mr. Brown could not make these
promisee good for the next two years
to come even if he were elected. Un
der the law even If I am defeated, I
will make all these appointments be
fore my present term of office ex
pires. The commissioner who preced
ed me In office made the appointments
of oil and fertilizer Inspectors who
are now serving under me. This is
In accordance with the law of Geor
gia which must be followed regardless
of politics. During my entire term
of office I have only had the right and
power to fill a few vacancies that have
occurred.
It was not my Intention when this
race opened to engage tn a controver
sy with Mr. Brown. But since he has
attacked me In hts numerous speeches
I feel It due myself that I should
make this statement. J. J. Brown's
life record as a democrat la no cleaner
than his record In tha 1912 convention
and his methods In the present race.
The democratic party owes nothing to
a man who has not hean true to It.
Faithfully yours,
J. D PRICB.
ALMOST 6LOOO STUDENTS:
GERMANY’S UNIVERSITIES
•
Berlin—Almost 61,000 students were
enrolled at Germany's twenty-one
unlversltlea In semester, and
4,000 more attended certain lectures
without being regularly Inscribed. The
smallest university, that of Rostock,
has a trifle more than a thousand
students, and the University of Ber
lin leads with 8,688. Only 6,000 of
the 61,000 were women. Recalling
the outcry of last year or two agHinst
foreign students, ona Is surprised to
find that there were only 6,000 for
eigners enrolled. Medicine attracts
the greatest number of students, but
philosophy, philology, and history are
not far behind Moat of the univer
sities are crowded.
WHAT THE PRESIDENT TOLD
DELEGATION OF BUSINES MEN.
Washington.— Prealdent Wilson told
the delegation of business men at the
White House yesterday he believed
the time for apprehension In tha Unit
ed States over the war In Europe was
past and that the period for steady,
sensible and connected action had ar
rived, He urged that the government
and business co-operate for the up
building of commerce.
"I believe.” said the president, '“you
will find that this govsrnment has
somewhat developed means for assist
ing business W* have been face to
face with very alarming conditions
1 believe the crisis has now passed
and that we can now co-operate 'or
the common good."
SENATOR WILLIAMS ON
ADVANCE IN FOOD PRICES
■i-, i i— a
Washington.—Senator John Sharp
Williams, speaking In the senate to
day. charged that the tncreaelng price
of food was due to Illegal combina
tions of either retail or wholesale
dealer* or both. He urged aggressiv *
action by the department of justice.
"The farmers aren't getting the rtso,
for they ere hauling their produce
home from market because there Is no
demand for It.” said Senator Williams
