THURSDAY. JUNE, 1, 1922.
This year the South is more interested
in the senatorial election
to be held in Massachusetts than
it bus been in any similar election
in that State in many years, for
there apparently is a better pros
peet of defeating Senator Lodg<*
than there has been at any'time
since he was first sent to the senate
more than 30 years ago. Then
is the best of reason why tin
South should wish to see Lodg':
retired to private life. Above
and beyond any other man in
/ public life, he is the unrelenting
enemy .of this section. Starting
his animosity for the South with
the force bill he introduced in
Congress a third of a eenturx
uuugi- nil ?s Ill'VCr ueviaiee
u jot from the attitude of ii
will that iniquitous measure be
spoke for this section. In season
and out of season he hassled tin
forces of hate for the South
Nothing good eoines out of tin
South, in his opinion, and if In
could have his way the civilizu
tion of this section would be de
stroyed by the same means tin
funuticul South haters in t hi
North employed to try to destroy
it during reconstruction days
Not so much because he is a Hepublican,
though that is ban
enough, but for the better reason
that his enmity for this sec
tion knows no bounds, is there
x good news for the South in tin
reports coming out of Massachusetts
thut Lodge has the political
light of bis life on his Jiunds and
that he and his friends are scurrying
about wildly to find a way
to obliterate the handwriting on
the wall. Former Governor McColl,
about as good man as a Republican
evsr gets to be. is ..
thorn in the side of Lodge and
is making trouble for the senator
inside the Republican party,
threatening to enter the primary
for the nomination and later thcgenerul
election as an independ I
ent candidate if he should fail in
the primary. McCqII is populai
ill Massachusetts and should he go
into the general election, the coun.
try will see the last of Lodge
in the senate of the United States
on March 4, next, for the election
\ of Sherman L. Whipple, nominated,
or to be nominated, by the
Democrats would thus be assured,
if indeed it is not already assured
regurdless of whether McColi
enters the race. Whipple is a
lawyer of international reputation
and one of the most powerful
public speakers iu the country.
The South has good reason to
hope that he will be elected.

What does it feel like to diel
This question aroused the curios^
ity of T. B. Wagelius, Brooklyn
chemist and psychic investigator,
and he conceived a scheme to
peck behiud the curtain of death.
Locked in his laboratory, Wagelius
rigged up an apparatus that
dripped an anaesthetic into an 1
inhaler attached to his nostrils.
The inhaler had an automatic (
register and with each successive
experiment, Wagelius went one
drop of the drug nearer death.
Then, coming out of his stupor,
he wrote down his experiences.
"I am on the verge of discovering
the great secret of death,"

htldd his friends.. Finally the
drti^carried him beyond the curtain
and showed him what lies
after death. But tp death there is
a one-way door?no one will ever
know what Wagelius^discovered.
tr? i. u. i :.j mu.
iic nan uecu uuneu. i lie ui/stery
of death has always been a
matter of deep thought. Why
do men fear death and yet yield
without dread to its twin brother,
sleep T Probably because they gc
to sleep with a conviction that
they are certain to awake in the
morning; while death closes the
door 011 mortal conciousness and
opens the way into the unknown,
People have an instinctive fear oi
what they do not understand. H
we understood death, perhaps we
would not fear, it.
The members of the South Car
oliua Legislature responsible foi
the cut this year in the pension
appropriation for Confederate
veterans might read with interesl
a little story of the esteem in
whicli a veteran of the Union
army is held by the boys of his
home community. This veteran,
it seems, has 110 peculiar claim
011 the boys of the little town in
which he lives other than that he
is a survivor of the cause they
hrve been taught to believe was
right and they appreciate the
service he rendered that cause.
Some time ago the boys conceived
the idea of. presenting the old
man with a purse to take him to
he Gettysburg battlefield, but
he fund grew so fast they soon
had in hand enough money to
buy him an automobile in which
lu is to take the trip instead of
going 011 the railroad. It is hardly
conceivable that the people of
l he North are more appreciative
the Union survivors of the
Civil war than we are of our Confederate
soldiers, but actions
sometimes speak louder than
words and it is anything but

to our own business, there isri't
the least prospect of the country
"becoming involved in war. The
, people are in no humor for war,
they dislike even to discuss past
, wars, much less to consider wa^*
, selfish interests imagine migfrt
I ccme in the future. This being
true, the burdensome appropriar
tions made by Congress for the
r army are spent to no good pur,'pose?the
money is wasted, it
goes to support in idleness and
non-productive employment many
thousands of men, officers, non'
corns and buck privates alike.

' a living for themselves and their

1 tc earn the money the people
1 are forced to provide for their
5 upkeep. At most the United
- States does not need a standing
1 army of more than 25,000 men.
> With a good militia organization
! in each State, which we already
have, the country would not be
i headed for the bow-wows if we
! had no army at all. When the
Democrats regain control of tht
government in the next presidential
election one of the first
1 things they will have sense enough
to do will be to cut down materially
the Nize of the standing
army and to stop the useless, inexcusable
waste of money on adjuncts
of the army that have
no redeeming feature to recommend
them to public consideration.
