SENATOR SMITH SHOCKED The overwhelming defeat of Sena- ' tor Ho ao Smith in his own State and | home county by a man from Pennsyl- ' vania was a surprise to the natives ; and to Senator Smith. Attorney General Painter was personally known to a small minority of Georgians and he made only three speeches in the state during the campaign while the sena- % tor engaged in the most arduous campaign of his life speaking in ev- ' ery section of the state and bringing 1 to bear all the force of a powerful ' political organization, the advantages 1 of which neither of his opponents had. VICE PRESIDENT MARSHALL ? In the opinion of the Advertiser there are few men in public life in the United States who in mentality < or morals measure up higher than Vice President Thomas R. Marshall, ( He has been in the lime light of political publicity for many years and in i that time has escaped the ciiticism ( ami calmuny of partisan-opponents. ( Presiding over the United Slates ( Senate with the majority of that body ( controlled by Republicans the Vice i President by his honsty of purpose i and fairness has merited and received respect of Senators on both sides ? of the aisle. While his sense of humor j is acute he has not permitted the antics of the Republican Senators to UI9VUI u ?11ntiwreiifniy or eause more than a smile to show on his countenance. His rulings while presiding? over , the Senate have been noted for their fairness and their firmness. Should r his decisions be overruled by a parti- i san majority in the Senate he accepts ; the ver<lict cheerfully. \ Although grood presidential timber, well seasoned in what migrht be call- f c*? 1 the ante-room to the White . House, Mr. Marshall has no aspira- ( tions in that direction. His native State, Indiana, has furnished not only .1 many presidential candidates but , many presidents, and Mr Marshall | would measure up to any of them. His ? ambition however, does not lead in | that direction. 1 When a New York reporter recent- '| ly intimated to Mr. Marshall that \ he mi^ht be the dark horse of the : Democratic Presidential Convention in San Francisco, that gentleman | said: "I think they are beginning? to believe me when 1 repeatedly say that 1 am not seeking; the presidential i i nominal ion. I do not mind telling; J; you why I feel this way. 1 know all I i "th? older Indiana statesmen and po1i-|| ticians, I know that Hendricks and t Fairbanks died with broken hearts be- > cause th -y sought and did not achieve the presidency. Harrison, because t his party would not give hini a third nomination, became embittered and I died in the belief* that republics are ungrateful. < "It is easy for a man to persuade himself that the people are calling for him, but when he gets to the con- i volition he is apt to find that the delegates h ven't heard the call." Mr. < Marshall continued with the dry < humor for which he is famous: "I honestly cannot see why a man i should seek the presidency of the i United States. The strict constitutional resposibilities of the Chief Kxecutive of the nation are very great. \ The people themselves have made these responsibilities immeasurably greater. They require that the President be a self-starter. He must i be in every forward movement. He ( must put into the task every waking r minute. He is spied upon by secret f service men and hounded by self- t seekers. A trusty in the Indiana r penitentiary has more liberty than he ( has . He must give his all to the na- c tion. r "His reward consists of bouquets ' and brickbats in about equal propor- i ttons." t 1 SLAT'S DIARY > > Friduy?rote a note to J.

HOW TO MAKE SURE THAT EGGS ARE FRESH When supplying a fancy trade with eggs, or on receiving eggs from outside sources, it is often desirable to letermine their freshness. The method generally used by commission merchants for this purpose is known as 'candling," and consists in holding the egg between the eye and a light so as to note the contents. This -hould be done in a darkened room, using one of the egg testers on the market or simple homemade tester. The air space in a perfectly fresh egg is very w:null, and as the egg loses oart of its contents by evaporation this air upa< e increases in size with the age of the egg. Fresh eggs should appear clear and bright, showing no dark snots. Those neeiistomed ?? ''candling" soon learn to detect stale eggs with a good degree of aceiiracy and rapidity. Another method employed by some who have not a great number to test is to put the eggs in a basin of water. If good they will lie on their sides; if bad they will stand on the small ends. The older the egg the more upright it stands, and if very old it will be suspended in the water or even float on the surface. BUY IT AT HOME If You Can ISCAHDED ANGEROUS ivates! It's mercury.

Senator King of Utah, however, opposed the meas jure, claiming that shooting or hang ing was more humane. He said: "It seems to me that there is nothing that could be more frightful thar ; to strap a man in a chair and adjust the mechanism there provided so that I the current may pass through hi; j body without obstruction and destroy ; his life. Nothing could be mor< frightful than that. It seems to m? shooting or hanging would he as hu ( mane, and perhaps more humane than electrocution."

Senator Dial replied that the Com missioners of the District of Colum[ bin favored the change unanimously. , He added: "The method of inflicting the death - penalty proposed by the bill obtains in many States of the Union, for instance, Indiana, Kentucky, Massachu setts, New York, Ohio, Oklahoma, i South Carolina, Vermont, Virginia i and possibly other States. It occurs L lo me that it is more humane to clec< trocute a person than it is to hang ' him. It is a mere matter of advance ment and progress, I take it.
