lake the aoldler#" vote In

being serloualy conaldered of sending
commission* to the vnrloua Georgia
regiments, in order that the aoldler*
may vote In the fall elections.
The best thing to do with the aoldler
vote la to let It alone.
There are no specially heated or
close contests that from a political
standpoint will drive the party mana
ger* <0 such t* course. There la every
reason why the soldier should forget
local and partisan politics while he Is
wearing his country's uniform and do
ing his country's service.
Georgia can well afford this year to
do without the votes of the Georgia
regiments In the field, and there Isnt
another state but what eau do the
same. Leave the aoldler for soldier

db the voting.
The tender of the Philippine# to any
other power or powers would be folly,
and the return of them to Spanish op

A Cheerful Editor's
Talks to His Readers.
From the Conyers Weekly.
The day of Anal Judgment will wit
ness a vast throng of country editors—
they will be called up to testify against
delinquent subscribers.
A man's third duly In life Is to pay
ca*h for his home paper. His first duty
Is to nerve God and to property care
for hls family.
A country paper does more free work
far the general public and gets more
voluntary and undeserved cusstngs
than other Institution on the face of
the earth.
If you don't appreciate your country
paper enough to take tt and pay for It.
don't sneak Into the office and beg one
when you are told that It contain*
something of special Interest. If you
must have one, pay for It like a man.
The Summer Husband,
Now Dolly's home again—dear me!

And drop them on the floor.

To neatness I am tightly bound.
Now Dolly's home again.

Alger’s War Record.
Alger, too, ha* a war record, born of
our civil atrlfa In the amoke of the

from Roosevelt *. Where#* the teropes
tuoua “Teddy” was promoted at the
elnae of hot and bloody action for
bravely leading hi* men. and will re
turn to ns a knight banneret, as la
were, because dubbed on a stricken
field as battle. Alger, who now rebuke*
him. closed his military engagements
with the government with a eourtmar
tial Inquiry leveled against him, on a
charge of cowardice. No marvel, then
with such a pale and chattering past,
a* shown by the annals of the depart
ment over which he presides, that Al
ger was moved to chide "Teddy for
hls vain glory and battle lust, in want
ing to load hi* men to new fights about

when a poltroon is appointed to pre
side over him in the rear. I'm free to
say I’m out on the Roosevelt angle of
this Alger-Roosevelt controversy.
Roosevelt has his faults, of temper,
temperumont nnd limitation. His
courage may be n bit hectic, even apq
plectie, at limes. Stephen Crane, who
was with him at Siboney. described
Roosevelt to me as “the finest eombin
rtlnn of valor and militant ignore nr?”
he’d ever seen, and surely the author of
“The’Red Badge of Courage” engirt to
know.
But when alt i? said and all io sune.
Roosevelt Is a natrlot, with e »’ nrl to
do and o soi l to dare and a bond to
slrike for his flag nnd his country’s
honor; nnd he should find a hotter fat*
