“WATCH PHILOSOPHY”
An engine must be cleaned,oiled and cared for daily. A horse re
quires food, water and rest, or he refuses to work. An automobile
deprived of fuel oil and reasonable < are soon rebels. A watch, oeli
cate, beautiful in construction, working every minute day and night,
without rest, yet some people seem to think it should run for years
without being cleaned or reoiled. This is a mistake. A our watch
should be examined and cleaned once a year, then it will last a life
time. Let us care for "and guarantee your watch.

MULUNfIX GIRLS HAVE
FEARS FOR LIVES
ATLANTA, Ga., Oct. 20.—“0h, yes;
papa has been trying to kill us,” is
vhat the Misses Mullinax told the po
lice yesterday when they arrived in re
sponse to a hurry-up call to arrest J.
L. Mullinax, a stone mason.
The Mullinax girls painted a startl
ing picture of domestic warfare. “The
only rest mother gets is when she is
away,” they said, “and when she is
gone the lives of the rest of us are in
danger.”
When the police arrived the floor of
of the Mullinax parlor was litered with
broken furniture and whiskey bottles,
and Mr. Mullinax, just for the sake of
variety, was engaged in a battle with
a neighbor, instead of with his own
family. He and J. G. Anderson were
fighting. One had a pistol and the
other a pair of brass knucks, accord
ing to the police.
“Please don’t be too hhrjd on father,’
is what the Mullinax girls told the po
lice after the arrests were made.
HUBBY IND DABBY
MUST PAY PfllCE
ATLANTA, Ga., Oct. 20. —The poor
Ihusbands and fathers of Atlanta are
the ones who are going to cut down the
cost of living this year. Their clothes
already tight, are getting tighter every
minute.
A man to be in style this season
must look like a bean-pole with a cav
ed-in waistline. If things keep on
going as they are now, there won’t be
left anything for the poor men to do
but borrow- their wives’ stays when
they go out. To add to their wasp
waist effect a smart overcoat also
traces the figure and flares out below
the waistline like a skirt.
All this news is just the latest from
New York, and will be seen here this
winter.
A man's hat is a thing of beauty and
a joy forever in a pearl gray which is
leading the fashion, and to make it
still more attractive, a checked band
rims it about the top.

alcohol in fifty hours, the sparkle and
blend being given by means of chemi
cals. With the aid of attractive labels,
the government alleges the conspira
tors sold their products through agents
in Kansas City to the southwestern re
tail trade.
The Fort Smith plant once was a le
gal distillery. In March, 1914, how
ever, its owners advised the revenue
department at Washington of their in
tention to cease business. The govern
men immediately withdrew its official
guager and sealed the doors of the
plant.
The seals, it is alleged, w-ere soon
broken, the old machinery removed
and new machinery set up.
Among the discoveries they made
was that the plant was connected with I
a large sewer, with outlets so ar
ranged that the contents of its eight
ten-thousand-gallon tubs could be dis
charged into the Arkansas river in »
few minutes. ,
Six indictments in all w-ere handed
dow-n, the first charging Casper, Guy
L. Hartmann, J. C. Brewbaker, Wil
liams, Brown and other defendants
'.with intent to defraud the United
I States if the tax imposed on distilled
I spirits, and with having In their pos
session cancelled revenue stamps.
Casper in the second indictment is
charged with paying Booth a bribe of
SI,OOO in connection with the removal
of 25,000 gallons of whiskey from the
distillery without payment of the in
terna] revenue tax. This offense is al
leged to have occurred when the place
was still a legal distillery. The third
indictment charges Booth with accept
ing the bribe, and also one of SSOO
from Guy L. Hartmani.
The fourth is a blanket bill charg
ing conspiracy against the six revenue
officers, the two Hartmans, Charles
Brewbaker and others. It describes
purchases of supplies alleged to have
been used in distilling, mentioning the
rames of many Fort Smith firms as
l aving sold the products. The City
of Fort Smith sold 2,000,000 gallons of
w-ater to Guy L. Hartman, it is charg
ed, for use in the plant. In this in
dictment, also, is specified the alleged
shipments of whiskey to the Rush Dis
tilling Co., and alleged fraudulent
marking of liquor to indicate that it
had been inspected by Brown.
The fifth charges Casper and Guy L
Hartman with the* illegal rectification
of distilled spirits.
The sixth covers operations by the
M. B. Brock distillery in Fort Smith—
a separate concern from the Brew-ba
ker distillery. It alleges violations of
a date much eaerlier than thosec harg
ed against the Brewbaker plant, but
names, together with Moser B. Brock,
several of the same alleged conspira
tors.

BULES THWART THE
UMS OF PEOPLE
IN MIW LAWS
ATLANTA, Ga., Oct. 20. —The reason
state legislatures fail to enact the will
of the people into law is not to be
found in any fundamental defect fc our
form of state government, according to
Representative L. J. Cooper, of Ware
county, discussing the subject here
yesterday, but in the rules of preoeed
ure under which the Georgia legisla
ture and other legislatures operate.
“There is no freedom of action in
I the Georgia legislature,” declared Rep
' re’sentative Cooper. “The house elect's
a speaker. The speaker appoints the
committees of the house. All bills
when introduced, are referred to com
mittees. The house does not act on a
bill unti] it has been reported back to
I the house by the committee to which
it was referred. Having been appointed
by the speaker, the committee does not
j accord with the prevailing views of the
I house on important legislation. When
I a committee fails or refuses to report
j a bill, action is shut off and the house
i iess powerless to move a wheel, so far
as that bill is concerned. Thus legis
, lation is dominated by the committees.
I The remedy ]ies in a complete re-or
ganization of the rules, both in house
j and senate, as the rules of both bodies
are practically the same.
“The spirit of lawlessness started in
committees of the legislature percolate
, through the body politic. The raem be
hind the politicians interpret laws as
I they want them to be, and not as they
I
are. The spirit of domination by the
few-, instead of by the democratic ma
jority reaches beyond the legislature
to the operation and enforcement of
! laws after they have been enacted. In
every little community there is, meta
phorically speaking, a sagaciously or
ganized rules committee.
“In other words, the e.vil practices
employed at the fountain head of leg
islation easily find their prototype in
many departments of our government,
where authority is much more limited.
Until the head and hefirt of our gov
ernment is free from this double deal
ing,' it is impossible to expect less than
refined or brutal lawlessness at the
exposed places throughout the state.
