The proposition ta 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 ing and let the people aud politicians db the voting.

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! My rest and peace are o'er; T eofinot dash my garments off And drop them on the floor.

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 San Juan before the blood of Santiago was dried on their boots.

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.
