BISHOP FRANCIS ASBURY.
BISHOP FRANCIS ASUt'RY, In whose honor an
oqueatrlan statue waa unveiled In Waahlngton,
D. C., Wednesday, often vlaltod Georgia, and
we are under the Improaalon that he lived both In
Savannah and at the Rembert place In Haberaham
county, near Tallulah Falla, and near, also. Ocean
View, where mountain peaks In four atateg are aatd
to be discernible.
Bishop Aabury frequently preached In Auguata
and at Grant’* meeting house In Wllkoa county,
Georgia. He was probably related to the Hull fam
ily of Athens and of Washington, and latterly of
Augusta. At any rate, Mr. Asbury Hull, a promi
nent man In Georgia In those times, and the father
of William Hope Hull, George Hull and Harvey
Hull, of thl* city, was named for him.
Bishop Warren Candler, who at one time preach
ed In Augusta, took an active part In raising the
fund for the erection of the monument to Bl*hop
Asbury tn Washington. In Wllkea county, Georgia,
on the site of the Grant's meeting house, through
the effort* of Senator Boyce Flcklin, a marble ahaft
was erected In I*l*, the occasion of Bishop Asbury'a
centenary.
WHAT YOU EAT IN A YEAR.
IF you have just an average appetlto, every year
you eat 1400 pounds of solid food and almost as
much liquids.
The “liquids” Include the water that forma a nat
ural part of all vegetablea and meats. Celery, for In
stance, Is almost entirely water.
In a lifetime you eat enough food to fill a train of
freight cars several miles long.
Bo estimates a scientist. Mother, who carries the
heavy market basket, Is apt to claim tho estimate Is
too low.
There was a time when people ate what they could
get. }n primitive days food was largely a matter of
chance. The prowler In tho junglo or forest might
kill a wild turkey one day and a cave bear the next.
He might find berries, again It would be roots or
leaves. There was no telling in advance what the
day would bring forth In the matter of food.
In time, man learned to domesticate animals and
cultivate the soli, the elements of chance grew less.
Diet became more certain. He could grow tho things
he liked best.
Then men began to specialize. Food raising was
left to a definite part of the population. Families
had a wider choice. They could buy what they
preferred—and get variety.
Came tho age of advertising. Publicity has been
applied stronuously to foodstuffs, Inducing people to
buy certain food*-helping them make up their
minds minds instead of leaving the choice entirely
to the eater.
Now we have still another method—propaganda to
entice people Into using certain specific foods in
preference to others.
Thu* the ratstn growers unite; In an advertising
campaign to Increase their tales by educating peo
ple to a knowledge that they need Iron, found In
raisins. Orange growers do the samo, playing up
the vlUmlnee that bring health with this delicious
fruit. Ho on.
In the long run however these propaganda cam
paigns tend lo counteract end neutralize each other.
For Instance the American people's bread eating
Is a fifth below normal aa a result of food conditions
during the wnr.
We are urged to eat more brend to help the wheat
grower. While admittedly It would help the wheat
grower and we do need more flour In our diet If we
ent more bread we certainly are going to eat leas
of something else. What helpa one branch of farm
ing by lncrcualng demand also Injures other branches
by decreasing their sales.
We can eat Just ao much —1400 pounda of eollda a
year and about the same amount of liquids.
WHY THE CROWD CHEERED.
THK Woolworth Building houses 18,900 people—
the population of quite an impressive town.
This gigantic tower la a monument to the pe
culiar phenomenon that has congealed people Into
cities much tn the swarming spirit of bees.
Man Is fundamentally an Individualist.
He began that way. Time hasn't changed him. on
the average, except In hla sociological day-dreams.
Men congregated together, formed communities,
primarily for mutual protection agalnat enemy
beasts and enemy tribesmen.
The congregating perpetuated Itself. Men found It
best to he near each other for exchange of Individual
products. This tendency Increased with epectallra
tlon— which la the correct word for what la usually
Improperly called our “civilisation." Genuine civili
sation la spiritual, net material.
There's talk of Chicago eventually being the
world'e largest city, gtretchlng out to Include Mil
waukee. with a total of 89 million population.
A turn of the tide—and exodus back to nature —ts
looming as a possible result of alrplnncs. Feopie
will be able to live far out and fly hundreds of miles
to work In cities reduced to collections of factories,
shops and theatrea.
Radio will help a lot In breaking up the big cities
Sociologists already notice that radio la "diminish
ing crowds” A. Addington Bruce, psychologist, puts
It thle way:
"Through th* wlrardry of radio, recreations are
brought Into the home and the bast of mualc, lec
tures, public addresses and sports may be enjoyed
without the discomforts of crowds and crowding In
public places."
Radio entertainment as we have It now la. of
course, crude and Infantile compared with Its des
tined future. Radio movies will come. So will tele
vision. by which you’ll sit In your home and on a
small acreen or In a lens see such eventa aa air
plane flights, presidential Inaugurations, scientific
wonders, travel tours, sports and other events that
formerly have necessitated travel.
Man will not become a hermit.
But hla swarming In crowds already has begun to
wane aa a result of auto.radio and alrplans. Crowds
usually have an undercurrent of mob Insanity, con
tagious to the Individual brain and conducive to
mental and nervous disorders.
THE AUGUSTA HERALD. AUGUSTA. GA.
New Speaker Most Take
Gillett Job in the House
WASHINGTON.— A fine fight
for the speakership tn the
next congress le assured
whether democrats or republicans
win.
For a new gavel wielder must be
found to preside over the sessions
of the sixty-ninth house. Speaker
Gillett, after six year* In the chair,
surrendered the chance at another
term In that office to pursue the
Massachusetts senatorshlp now
held by David Ignatius Walsh, of
Fitchburg. Whether he will win It
is still In doubt, as Walsh 1* a pop
ular and persuasive campaigner.
But win or lose for the senate,
Gillett will be out of the speaker's
chair after March 4 next, and the
line of possible and would-be suc
cessors already 1* beginning to
form on the right.
THE scrap for speakership Is
certain to be complicated by
th* maneuvers and manlfea
toea of independeents who will
come to the new congress, for
most part, In the guise of repub
licans.
T.ed by Cooper and Frear and
Nelson, of Wisconsin, this Insur
gent wing of the G. O. P. la likely
to wield even a more deciding In
fluence In the next congress than
in the present one.
It was this group whloh forced
a revision of house rules last year,
providing a method for getting
pigeonholed measures out of com
mittee and before the house. Indi
cations are Insurgent membership
will be Increased rather than de
creased in tho new congress,
which will only mean a more ef
fective “balanco of power” In the
hand# of this group.
And the first chance to exercise
this power, the first test to reveal
the real strength of insurgent ele
ments in tho new congress, will
come on the vote for election of
speaker.
HEADING -the list of repub
lican aspirants for this honor
comes Nick Longworth, of
Ohio, the stocky, bald-headed son
in-law of Hoosevelt. a tried and
true republican "regular."
Just how regular a party man
Nick Is may be judged from the
fact that he wouldn't even follow
his famous father-in-law 4nto the
Hull Moose party In 1912. For the
past four years he has been the
G. O. I’, floor leader and is now
ready for promotion to the speak
ership.
Crowding Eoneworth for favor
ns O. O. P. choice for speaker Is
Martin B. Madden, of Chicago.
Both are completing their twen
tieth year In congress, Mndden
having served 10 consecutive
terms. Eongworth 1)0 terms, not
consecutive.
UNUSUAL PEOPLE

DESCENDANT?

GIELETT’B withdrawal leaves
Henry Allen Cooper, of Wis
consin, the oldest member of
the house In point of service.
Cooper Is Just completing his thir
tieth year.
Cooper will be the choice of the
lneurgent republicans for speaker.
By reason of hts seniority in ser
vice. his personal popularity, his
recognized fairness and square
ness. his friends believe he will
draw the votes of many republi
cans outside of the so-called house
progressive group.
Should the progressive vote re
tain its balance of power, a#
seems probable, with neither re
publican regulars or democrats
able to muster a majority for their
canldates, a democratic-insur
gent coalition to put Cooper across
as speaker Is not Impossible.
It was Just such a combination
that forced the revision of house
rules at the last session, against
the Longworth-Oellett republican
opposition.
FIRST place In the line of possi
ble democratic selections for
speaker Is accorded Finis J
Garrett, of Tennessee.
Elke Longworth and Madden, he.
too. has served 10 terms and has
fought his way to a position of un
disputed leadership in democratic
legislative ranks.

Bankers express worry because it's

EDITORIAL COMMENT
THE TARHEEL MAJORITY
Our estimate of tho Democratic
majority for Davis and the State
ticket, started at around 80,000. It
wont up a figure or two with the
progressive development of Meek
-Ins’ descent from the intelligent In
campaign methods. After his
school book and State bank mix-up
and / his floundering.* around in the
bog of self-confusion, we raised our
estimate to 100,000. Now they are
bringing a Republican from Maine
down into the State to advise our
people how to vote and we are rnis
ing the figures to the Smash Mc-
Connell estimate—and. if there are
any who don't know what that is,
then The Observer will tell it. It’s
"upward of a. d sight."—Char
lotte Observer.
THE POCKETioOK APPEAL.
Ono of our republican contempo
raries the other day advised its
readers that the coming election
affords "the chance to vote direct
ly for the pocketbook."
It Is a sordid appeal, but we
recognize Its force. A great many
voters tare very little about the
general welfare, and are Interest
ed only In the advancement of their
own personal fortunes. Among
such are those who have amassed
wealth through the operation of
tariff favoritism, the holders of po
litical Jobs who fear tha loss of
their places, expectants who look
for reward for political service, and
beneficiaries of diverse forms of
government subsidy.
But let the pocketbook argu
ment go for what it is worth—on
which side does the pocketbook in
terest of the great mass of ths
voters lie?
A vote for the republican ticket
Is not only a condonation of the at
tempted transfer of hundreds of
millions of dollars’ worth of the
peoples property to private ex
ploitation, but an approval of tar
iff extortion that depletes the purse
of every householder and every
housewife In the land.
A vote for the democratic ticket
is a vote of condemnation of graft,
bribery and plunder, and a vote
to keep In the consumer's pocket
hook that part of the price of
“protected” commodities added to
the fair profits of manufacture un
der the hollow pretext of keeping
employed workmen who are even
now losing their Jobs because the
goods they make have been mark
cd up beyond what th© traffic will
bear.
Our contemporary perhaps un
wittingly closes its pocketbook ap- .
peal with this statement of a sol
emn fact: . . _ ...
"Only the triumph of the polit
lctal demagoguge can halt or stop
entirely the upward swing In busl
ness from which all will reap a
profit.” . . .
We have yet to hear anybody
even the most rabid republican —

ical demagogue. Philadelphia

TABLES ON HEALTH
In Your Office
Taking mid-day rests and simple
exercises was a thing that stumped
Mr. Mann and hits most other peo
ple.
But a few minutes should be stol
en from every workday for relaxa
tion or relaxing exercises.
Thus, though a man be sitting
at hls office desk or office table,
he still can take a few minutes off
and peform his relaxing stunts
right there and then.
Rise from your office chair and
take a leisurely pose. Droop limp
ly, relaxing at the waist, then at
the knees, then droppind the head.
Drop limply as possible to the floor
—better get a rug for this one.
Lie quiet for a few seconds and

then ris* to your feet, remaining as I
limp as possible. Swing arms back
and forth at the side, keeping
them loose. ,

People who do a great deal of
walking or standing might try sit
ting down or lying down for sev
eral minutes, with eyes closed and
body relaxed.
HOW WORDS COME
TO PICTURE IDEAS:
Philologists Can Read His
tory from Words a
Country Upes
Sometimes words are borrowed ;
bodily from another language. ,
Sometimes a root-word Is borrow- |
ed, oftenest from the Eatln or
Greek, and an English ending given
It. Again, wa take two old words,
join them together and make a new
one. At first we separate them by
the hyphen, but after awhile that la
left out, and the two are mingled
as a single word. Then, we take a
prefix, or a suffix, from some other
tongue, and add it, after or before,
and we have another new word.
Or when a word is too long, we
shorten It—because we English
speaking people are great for sav
ing time.
Thousands of new words are de
fined in The New ETniversltes Dic
tionary, which we are row offering
almost free to our readers. It
ought to be in every home, office,
workshop and study. It can be
made the means of self-culture to
a very large extent. The coupon
elsewhere in this paper explains
the terms, upon which you may get
it.
Books Rssdy Tomorrow
The second coupon appears today,
the third will appear tomorrow, and
then the doors open to the great
educational flood. Do’t wait for a
later chance: eager readers may ex
haust the limited supply.
