That elusive individual to whom the
New York tailors owe a large debt of
gratitude—which may be more than
balanced by the amount he owes the
tailors—has tendered the public an¬
other profound statement. He says
that a man “who doesn’t go out much”
can dress decently on $5,000 a year,
eays the Cleveland Plain Dealer. Ob¬
serve the subtle malgnity of that qual¬
ifying phrase. The man who goes out
much, the fellow who romps through
routs and dinners and teas and
fresco twaddlefests, must pay his tail¬
or—no matter what he does for the
piper. While the poor chappie who
is hampered by a measly $5,000 will
cut his pleasures carefully according
to his cloth, being so closely menaced;
by that deadly line of decency. Just
now this distinction will be regarded
by the possessor of two coat hangers,
with only one in active use, can easily"
be imagined. He will smile at the
ukase and snap his fingers at a code
bf decency that Is based on 20 coats
and countless trousers. Nevertheless,
If you are ambitious to be of the
patricians you must do as the patric¬
ians do—provided your Income ex¬
ceeds the paltry $5,000—and It will be
an exhibition of extremely bad form
If you regard this sartorial declara¬
tion of the man who knows in any
other save the most serious light.
There is beginning to be comment
on the growing respectability of trade
In Germany. Time was when a man
of title was believed to soil his hands
by making money. The tradition can
hardly be Insisted on. however, when
the kaiser himself has a business In¬
terest In the manufacture of terra cot¬
ta. From the old American stand¬
point it Is much more honorable to get
money in trade or Industry than to ac¬
quire ft by marriage; but it may be a
long time before European aristocracy
of any description secs the mercenary
marriage problem In Its true light.
Within the next three years the Ma¬

II. S. SENATOR CLAY SUMMONED BY DEATH
THE END CAME
WHILE SENATOR WAS TALK¬
ING WITH HIS SON,
A NOTABLE CAREER ENDED
A. S. Clay Had Been Representative
of Georgia in the United States
Senator for Thirteen Years.
Atlanta.—United States Senator Al¬
exander Stephens Clay, 67 years old,
died at a sanitarium in this city of
arterial schlerosis producing dilation
of the heart, His death was as
peaceful as it was sudden.
He had been talking but a few min¬
utes before to his son, Herbert, who
was in constant attendance upon his
father.
He ceased speaking, closed his eyes,
gave a slight gasp and almost in a
moment had passed away.
Although it has been long known
that Senator Clay’s health was in a
precarious condition, and although -his
friends believed he could not live
much longer, the suddenness of his
death gave them great surprise and
sfiock.
Senator Clay came to the sanitarium
on Tuesday, November 1, with the
announced intention of resting and
building up his health and strength
preparatory to returning to Washing¬
ton for the opening of congress in
December.
Nevertheless, he was not unmindful
of his malady, arterial schlerosis, and
the consequent affection of his heart,
due to the blood pressure, It was
this affection, producing dilation of
the heart, that caused his death.
The funeral was held In Marietta,
Ga., Wednesday at noon, at the Meth¬
odist church.
Senator Clay Is survived by h!s
wife, who was Miss Fannie White of
Lithia Springs, daughter of A. J.
White, a prominent farmer and Con¬
federate soldier; by five sons, Her¬
bert Clay, who is mayor of Marietta;
A. S. Clay, Jr.; Frank Clay, who is
a cadet at the United States military
academy at West Point; Kyburn Clay
and Lucius Clay, and by one daugh¬
ter, Miss Evelyn Clay, who is at a
school in Washington, D. C.
Senator Clay is also survived by
his father and mother, Mr. and Mrs.
W. J. Clay, who live on a farm in
Cobb county. Mr. Clay is now SI
years old and his wife is nearly that
age. Senator Clay was the oldest of
their six children.
The death of Senator Clay, who for
thirteen years has represented, in
part, the state of Georgia, in the Unit¬
ed State senate, will send a pang of
regret through the heart of every man
now living who was associated with
him in that distinguished body.
A man of unswerving honesty, of in¬
defatigable industry, fearless, aggres¬
sive and capable, he was a worthy
representative of a proud and inde¬
pendent people in the nation’s highest
lawmaking body
If there is one trait in his charac¬
ter which deserves to be emphasized
above all the rest, It was his absolute
honesty. This quality was recognized
by his colleagues on the floor, as well
as by the occupants of the press gal
elry. There was never any taint of
suspicion about any vote that Sena¬
tor Clay ever cast, whether on the
tariff, on railroad measures, or on any
other legislation affecting the big in
terests.
Next to his inherent honesty was
his absolute loyalty to the people of
Georgia. His heart heat close to the
heart of the common people. He felt
their needs; he knew the workings
of their mind; he appreciated keenly
their point of view, And well he
might.
Alexander Stephens Clay was born
on a farm in Cobb county. In his
youth he was a typical backwoods¬
man; an awkward, ungainly, country
boy with nothing but an active mind
and a vigorous body. But the fires of
ambition burned even then, and from
his graduation at the high school in
Palmetto, Ga., he wanted to he a
senator.
He died crowned with the highest
honor that Georgia con confer upon a
citizen. No other man in the 121
years of Georgia's history, save only
his colleague, Senator Bacon, has
Sunday Ad Contracts Void.
Kansas City, Mo.—Contracts for ad¬
vertising in newspapers published on
Sunday were declared void by Judge
J. M. Johnson in the Kansas City
court of appeals. The Sunday labor
laws of this state, the court held,
were being violated when such news¬
papers were printed, and, therefore,
any contract for work in connection
with the publication would also nec¬
essarily be illegal. The decision was
handed down in the case of George
VV. Knapp & Co., owners of the St.
Louis Republic, against Culbertson.
Football Player Charged With Murder
Wheeling, W. Va.—A warrant for¬
mally charging Thomas McCoy, right
end of the Bethany college footbail
team, with murder in connection with
the death of Capt. Rudolph Munk of
the West Virginia university team,
was issued here. Munk sustained in¬
juries in the game between the
teams here from which he died. Munk

ever been elected to three terms in
the United States senate.
Mr. Clay was first named senator
on October 7, 1896, to succeed Hon.
John B. Gordon, after one of the most
exciting contests for that office ever
held in Georgia. He was opposed by
Capt. Evan P. Howell, editor of The
Constitution, and Gov. W. Y. Atkin¬
son. There were other contestants in
the beginning, but the race soon nar

rowed down to these three, For a
long while the outcome hung in the
balance, with the indications favoring
Atkinson, Howell and Clay alternating
for second place. Finally, through the
action of Captain Howell in throwing
his support to Clay, the latter was
elected.
Mr. Clay was re-elected in 1903 and
again in 1909, and his third term
would have expired on March 3, 1915.
It can be said with entire truth
that never did the people of Georgia
have a more honest, a more devoted,
a more scrupulously careful, industr¬
ious and honest representative in the
senate of the United States than Alex¬
ander Stephens Clay.
AMERICANS PROTECT HOMES

SISTANCE WHEN ATTACKING
AMERICAN*'
Carlos B. Carothers Fires on Mexican
Mob, Killed a Boy and Then
Wounded a Policeman.
Guadalajara, Mexico.—Carlos B. Ca- j
rothers, a locally prominent real es
tate dealer, shot and killed Jesus
lx»za, a 14-year-old Mexican hoy, and
wounded Prudencio Chavez, a gen¬
darme, in defending his home against
a riotous attack by Mexicans. Ca¬
rothers surrendered to the authori
ties at the first opportunity, ai\d was
lodged in the state penitentiary. I
Notwithstanding the entire police j
force, foot and mounted, and the i
Tenth regiment of cavalry, were call¬
ed out, rioting was suppressed only
after three hours of vigorous efforts
and after considerable additional dam¬
age to property had been done. The
affair was a continuation of the pre¬
vious night’s violence by students and
workmen.
Mexico City, Mexico.—‘‘There will I
be no further demonstrations in this
city against the citizens of a friend¬
ly nation while I am governor. The
disturbances are over for good, and
all and under no circumstances will I
permit a mass meeting of any nature
by the students or any other body,”
In these words, Gov. Guillermo Lan
da y Escandon of the Federal district
gave assurances in an interview to
the press of a continuance of the
quiet which has prevailed for two days )
following the recent disturbances in
this city.
An exchange of messages between i
President Diaz and President Taft oc¬
curred during the day, it was said, the
former giving assurances of the pur
pose and ability of the Mexican gov¬
ernment to prevent a recurrence of the
disorders and the latter expressing
confidence in the representations made
by the. Mexican executive. A strong
force of police is on guard at the
American embassy.
Washington. — Through unofficial
sources a report has reached the State
department that Antonio Rodriguez,
the alleged Mexican who was burned
at the stake at Rock Springs, Texas,
by a mob, was really horn in New
Mexico. If this should prove to he
the case, of course the Mexican gov¬
ernment would be obliged to with¬
draw' its protest and demand for rep¬
aration. It would leave the United
States the aggrieved party in the ri¬
oting and anti-American demonstra
tions in Mexico.
Chinese Burn American Missions.
Canton, China.—Refugees arriving
here by boat from the province of
Kvang Si reported that practically all
the American missions had been de
.stroyed in a revolt against foreigners
which is raging there. The American
Presbyterian church, hospital and the
American college were burned. Three
battalions of troops have been sent
from here to quell the disturbances.
The mission is in charge of Doc

DRINK WATER TO CURE
KIDNEYS AND RHEUMATISM
The People Do Not Drink Enough
Water to Keep Healthy,
Says Well-Known
Authority.
"The num4rous cases of kidney and
bladder diseases and rheumatism are
tnainly due to the fact that the drink¬
ing of water, nature’s greatest medi¬
cine, has been neglected.
Stop loading your system with med¬
icines and cure-alls; hut get on the
water wagon. If you are really sick,
why, of course, take the proper medl
clues—plain, common vegetable treat
ment, which will not shatter the
nerves or ruin the stomach.”
To cure Rheumatism you must make
the kidneys do their work: they are
the filters of the blood. They must
be made to strain out of the blood the
waste matter and acids that cause
rheumatism: the urine must be neu¬
tralized so it will no longer be a
source of irritation to the bladder, and,
most of all, you must keep these acids
from forming in the stomach. This
Is the cause of stomach trouble and

you can do no better than take the
