DIAL’S SECRETARY
IN A STATEMENT
P. H.
McGowan Writes Abdut Em
ployment In Senator’s
Family.
P. H. McGowan, Senator Dial’s pri
vate secretary, has made the follow
ing statement with reference to al
leged employment of members of the
senator’s family in his Washington
office:
“The congress annually appropria
tes a sum of money to pay necessary
clerical hire for each senator. A
senator, who is not a chairman of a
committee, is allowed not exceeding
four clerks, including his secretary.
It is permitted, and in fact, is a com
mon practice for some senators to
pay the entire appropriation for cleri
cal hire to two or three persons, while
others employ four.
“Senator Dial could properly and
without any basis for criticism em
ploy his daughter or his son as his
secretary or clerk. Many senators
and members of the house do this.
“The charge is made, as I under
stand it, that Senator Dial carries his
daughter on the senate payroll and
that she performs no service. The
senator has several children and very
frequently all of them work in his
office. There are times when the
clerical assistance and at such times
the senator employs extra clerks,
whom he pays from his private funds.
I can truthfully say that no senator
in Washington attends to the duties
connected with his office more
promptly and efficiently than does
Senator Dial. It is true that the
daughter who draw’s the salary of a
clerk does not give her entire time to
the office, but it is also true that
other members of his family, w’ho
draw no pay, give much of their time
to work in his office and that at
times the senator is compelled to em
ploy extra help and pays them out of
his private funds.
“The law providing $240 a year
bonus or extra pay for all govern
ment employees became effective
March 1, 1919, which was before
Senator Dial took oath of office.
“I firmly believe that the good peo
ple of South Carolina will resent the
present method of attempting to be
little Senator Dial. If more atten
tion were given to Senator Dial’s
record than is being directed to trif
ling personalities, the people would
learn of his ability to serve them
further.”

are young they can stretch, even be

Injury. -But by middle life the heart
muscle is like old rubber. It's all right
as long aa you don’t put an unusual
strain on It, but If It’s stretched. It’s
apt to break.
Men and woman over forty-five, and
especially over fifty, should avoid sud

stretches. This may cause acute dila

enough to produce death, or It may re

heart so that they never work properly

WOMAN PRESIDENT? NOT YET.
WORLD GETTING SMAbLER.
THREE AGES OF BARBARISM.
STONE, BRONZE, IRON.
This is the political stage of “rosy
reports.” They pour in on LaFol-
lette, Davis and Coolidge.
Coolidge is told that Ohio, Iowa
and Kansas are already his.
Davis is told that with the South
and New York, Massachusetts, Illi
nois, etc., he is ELECTED NOW.
LaFollettes followers say they have
“twenty-five states sure.” The “rosy
days” are pleasant, only some one is
sure to be disappointed.
John R. Voorhis, oldest office
holder, aged ninety-five, predicts a
woman President. She will come, but
not in fifty years. Many women in
the United States would make Presi
dents better than any, with two ex
ceptions, since Thomas Jefferson.
But man, proud man, dressed in a
little brief authority, will take a long
time to get over his SUPERIORITY
COMPLEX.
Men of low intelligence sincerely
believe that they are in some mys
terious way woman’s superior, and
such men decide Presidential elec
tions.
If a woman becomes President be
fore 1890, it will be through promo
tion of a Vice-President. That might
happen within a generation.

The scientific world notes the dis
covery in France of a new anaesthe
tic called “sommifaire.” With no
bad after effects this anaesthetic
makes possible the longest opera
tions. It is injected into the blood,
causes the patient to remain half
conscious for thirty hours, which is
excellent for major operations.
It is hard to believe as you read of
scientific methods for avoiding pain
that when anaesthetics were first
used they were savagely denounced
as works of the Devil. Earnest
preachers declared that God WANT
ED us to suffer and it was a sin to
thwrat His divine will.
Joseph Greenberg, of New York,
will return to his home with new
knowledge of this country and great
er respect for the size of Texas. He
left Brooklyn in a little automobile
to bring his son back from “some
where in Texas,” and told his wife
he would be gone “about three days.”
He will be surprised to find it will
take about as long to cross Texas as
to cross all the rest of the American
continent. When you’ve entered
Texas on one side and come out on
the other, you have covered almost
half the distance from ocean to ocean.

When Edmund Carter Whitney was
born on Castle Street in Boston,
where Brigham’s creamery now
stands, he was the thirteenth child.
The family was exceedingly poor.
Eddie, as he was called, was practi
cally given away. A man named
Symms in Lancaster, Mass., “took”
Eddie and started to make a farmer
out of him. pegging piteously for a
chance at some sort of clerical life
Symms took Eddie to the town’s Sav
ings Bank and got him a job as er
rand boy. In his spare time he help
ed the chief of the fire department,
the postmaster and the board of se
lectmen. On summer mornings he
drove a milk wagon after first milk
ing Symms’ cows. When Eddie was
18 years old he was holding down
seven jobs and his total earnings
were $11 a week. Out of thii) he sent
$10 a week to his mother., He clothed
himself on the remaining $1 a week,
or $52 a year, and bought books. He

Announcement has been made dur

It will be recalled that the General

When historians write of the three
great periods of barbarous develop
ment, the stone age, bronze age, and
iron age, they will say:
“The full industrial development
of the iron age, reached at about the
year 2,000 of the period humorously
called ’the Christian Era,’ may per
haps be called the beginning of civili
sation.
“Men had developed faint ideas of
right and wrong. But while they had
begun to leave their great fortunes
to education and science instead of
seeking to bribe their diety and buy
eternal bliss for their own worthless
souls, they retained the worst fea
tures of earlier barbarism. The dis
coveries of science in chemistry and
physics were used for war murder on
a gigantic scale.
“The dregs of the race committed
murder with their own hands. The
so-called upper classes lived in
shameful luxury, utterly indifferent
to poverty, disease and ignorance
around them. They even herded
young children of the poor into fac
tories and mills, grinding them into
profits for their own use.
“On the whole, that culminating
period of the iron age was inferior
in dignity and decency to the stone
age.”
To stimulate interest in better
roads, the president-of San Salvador
has presented an automobile to the
governor of each state and stipulated
that he must make a regular report
regarding the roods hi his territory.
