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. (Copyright, 1914, by the McClure 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.

"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 HE'S HERE AGAIN. LETS TRY WATKINS.
