fem r F.LY ToPfCS.-' \ , p- ... y . .11 for tW. dep.rm.nt to Mx W. H Friton. Ga. Oune In Like • Lamb, Going Out Like a Lion When President McKinley was a-Mssi neted at Buffalo. Mr Rooaeevlt. then vice president, succeeded to the executive of fice in the smoothest, easiest kind of a way; . The machinery of government moved like It was ready oiled and In prim» working order-in that crisis. Mr Roosevelt finished out the Me-; Kinley term and is now out hto own term of office, within th next six weeks he must step down ana out after a reign of eight ye*«- But he ia having a noisy time of It at nrascnt '• He has set coagruss by tne J£The h ” infuriated a South Carolina senator and put an Ohio senator onihte track with open-mouthed denunciation. Unless some sort of oil Is poured on the troubled waters bo will be u Pj° hl * age-brows in fuss and fury when the ttb of March arrives. has had an extraordinary hold on the masses tn these United States. It will take a good deal to shake their con fidence. bu tft is plainly apparent that he had ♦ wir*»d up. determined and fomni dable opposition—a sort of antagonism which wiM never quit this aide the grave. _■ This antagonism is more persona! thsw . political, because many of his opponents are dyed-ta-the wool Republicans whose existence as politicians is bound up In the future of the party. They cannot afford to beat the air. They are airing their grievances in away that goes to prove thev have cut their bridges behind them as they repel the open attacks of the president, and it Is safe to say. they fee! their oats in this struggle for political supremacy at thia time. The president is ope. and they are many. When he retires from the white house and becomes an ey-president with out pmtronase. he will appreciate the distinction and the difference. Nearly all his opponents are safe ha retaining their present positions—for a year or two at least—and It *ni be easy to make the worse appear the better reason, if they Can find a hole to enter in their search for flaws and indiscretions, or some error of judgment that can be misconstrued in to amisdemeanor when the ex-president has no authority and no voice. There are the fewest number of peo- Sle who do not make mistakes in public Te and It Is the wise politician who lets sleeping dogs He and plhcates his outspoken political enemies. Honey is better than vinegar, when flies are to be caught, and with my outside acquaintance with politics and politicians I am convinced that conservatism will P»j- in the long run as against radical animosity in public life. I do not discount seal or devotion to dutv I admire the kind of integrity which had rather be right than be presi dent. but it is one thing to set one's face towards honesty and another to club every man who fails to acknowledge your own plans and motives tn loud an tagtnusm of public meg- . There Is a right way and wrong way to almost every act of public censorship and a good result Is oftentimes defeated by rash endeavors or impolitic denuncia tion of even culpable conduct It arouses sympathy to hurl stones from an eleva tion ' . President Roosevelt has been no copyist tn hts public career. He has maintained his individuality as chief executive in a remarkable vray. It to possible that her tn ay fancy such an exft from the white house and prefers to roar and shake his mane as he leaves Washington City. '' ~ ' • But he may set it down in his ledger that they have It in for him and if ever they do catch him napping it will be good-bye Teddy? It to the easiest thing tn the world to forget personal benefits. Ingratitude Is the curse of humankind. While some of his present adherents will continue loyal (and he will be surprised at the limited number and the unexpected things that will happen) but he will early discover that the mob will cry tfie “king is dead; long Hvs the king!” The great majority es them will forget him. nine out of ten will hardly care at al! for hfm and the chances are that he will hear ten dis paraging comments to every word of Commendation when be has nothing to bestody in place or power. But he may still prefer the Hon role, to the lamb's part tn the play! Judge Taft st the State Capitol It ao happened that I was in Atlanta last Friday. Although the day was misty and sloppy under foot, the town eras full of people. Particularly was the capttol building crowded when the ctty clock pointed to tbeTtoUroT X T A great many persons gathered there at noon to be sure of a place to see the coming president, but it was nearly or about 2 before the door of the elevator slid to one side and he stepped out in the marble corridor not far from the spot where we chanced to find standing room—on the second floor of the Capi tol building. His pictures have not flattered him, as I view it, but. of course, he was dressed tn his Sunday best to meet that tremendous audience. Upstairs, downstairs and in every room adjacent the people were packed m 'a dense mass, and directly it was as hot inside as midsummer, and I found myself mopping my face with my hand kerchief because of perspiration. I was glad the guest of honor did not make a long speech, because my old bones were tired of standing on that bard floor. What he did say was good and to the point, however, modestly expressed and in good taste, and he made an ex cellent Impression on his hearers. His mild manner and quiet deport ment show him to be a conservative, sane, sensible man. just such as we need in the office of chief executive. He saM be had been speaking all the way from Augusta to Atlanta and bad to make another set speech at the "pos ■iim banquet” after dark, so the most of us concluded he had already put In a fair day's work and needed rest as badly as he needed anything dlse. .. . . I believe I have seen every president since the demise of Lincoln. I shook .ends once with President Roosevelt at .he Jamestown exposition; with the • thys more than once, at various pi a roe tn and Out Os Washington city. Os these modern presidents Ohio has furnished four. New York two, Indiana one, and General Grant was the head of the cnited States army, born, however, tn Illinois; so Qhio has becopne the mother of as was JTBgMte before- the -war. £• 1.1 . % * A M President Taft is as good looking as Garfield. Hayes or McKinley, and his pictures are not fair to him in making his stomach look like a bay window, for, unless he years PPtPetS,. Jo him la shape, therirtwmr w*e m ptofurinr him as a very big barrel with two small legs under it He gets around very nimbly and is not embarrassed by his sise. I conclude that Judge Taft (he will not be president until March 4) is dis posed to be conservative on the south ern situation. He has shown marked preference for Georgia in several re spects, because he has domiciled him self at Augusta and is giving Atlanta and Athens marked preference. We must be as fair to him as he Is fair to us and not find fault until he deserves the fault-finding. He is the most exalted ruler in the world, because be was chosen and not born Into his kingdom. GLENN TO LECTURE ON WOMAN’S WILES The announcement that George G. Glenn, representative from Whitfield and the acknowledged wit of the Geor gia legislature, has decided to carry some of his best stories and his inimi table way of telling them on to the platform as a public entertainer is cer tain to prove of genuine interest to his hosts of friends throughout the entire state. , Probably in all Georgia there is no man who has received the amount of publicity and far-reaching fame which has come to this man Vrofn Whitfield. While Mr. Glenn has been "politically prominent for a number of years and has won an enviable reputation, throughout the south as one of Dixie's cleverest story tellers, a raconteur and humorist, it was as the author of the famous “blandishment bill" that his name became a household word throughout the entire country. After literally setting an entire na tion laughing and smiling with his bill, Mr. Glenn found that he bad struck a subject of such omnipotent and uni versal interest, he proceeded to go qn with the work. Then it was that let ters began to pour in from everywhere, thousands and thousands of them by actual count. There . were remon strances from many of the fair sex, while the great brotherhood of man—, both the woman-loving and woman hating contingents—rejoiced. Going still further, several ministers took up the matter and made it the subject of pulpit addresses. ■ The result of it all was that Mr. Glenn has accumulated facts, figures and testimony from the four corners of the country and from both the mascu line and feminine point of view. Natu rally, along with this accumulation of evidence came pointers of all kinds from both the charming conquerors—or conqueroreeses—and the vanquished victims of these delightful feminine de ceits which have continued ever since Eve turned over a new leaf in Eden and started the first fads in fashion that have been used for the bewilder ment of the men folks ever since. Mr. Glenn states that he has now c mpleted his “Georgia Night's Enter tainment,” and a company, including some of the best kndwn and most in fluential men in the F state, has been formed for the proper carrying ouf of his tour,. He will appear in Valdopta and Several other south Geoorgia cities during ...e coming week. He has made "Woman's Wile? and Rainbow Hosiery" the subject of his address, and he has already received enough invitations to keep film busy entertaining Georgians and Georgia vis itorfe for some time to.come. THIS MAN SAVED BY HIS APPENDIX Sometimes it's fortunate to have lost your appendix and sometimes it isn't. This is a case of good fortune connected with an appendix. When arrested by a secret service offi cial of the United States for desertion from the navy, M. L. Ware, of 29 Cornelia street upon being subjected to a physical examination was immediately released and allowed to return to his home, as he had no scar on his body showing that an operation for appendicitis had been per formed. He had been arrested by mis take for a deserter who had been op erated upon for appendicitis, and the ex amination was proof positive that Ware was not the man. . . t . On January 8, Ware, who is a painter by trade and who has been engaged at his vocation in this .city, was approached by a United States secret service official, arrested for desertion from the navy and immediately whisked away to Washing ton to the navy department. He had been arrested for a man named J. B. Cog, and he was not allowed to communi cate with his wife, who lives at 29 Cor nelia street. Upon being examined at Washington, it was - *eon discovered, however,- that Ware was the wrong man, as the descrip tion of Cox called for a scar showing that he had been operated upon for ap pendicitis. Ware was accordingly re leased and came at once to his old home tn Greenville. 8. C„ rejoicing on the way. From that place he notified his relatives tn Atlanta that he was on his way to this city and would reach here on Saturday. There is a waiting wife who will wel come ber husband home and who re joices that he has been declared innocent and set at liberty. MRS. BOOTH WANTS PURITY OF PRESS NEW ORLEANS, Jan. 25.-” Would to God we could purify our press!” so de clared Mrs. Maude Ballington Booth, leading spirit of the Prison Reform League of America, during the course of an address delivered to an immense audi ence here last night. ”1 believe the press of the country is too much given to vivid painting of de tails of crime,” she continued. “Have you noticed how these illuminated ac counts of criminals cause other unfor tunates to copy them? Would to God we could purify our press. In many states the dally papers are not allowed inside the prisons. If they are not fit reading for prisoners, are they fit for our boys and girls? Would we could use the great power Os the press more for good than for publishing the details of crime.” Mrs. Booth will make a tour of LouisL ana during the coming week under the auspices of the Louisiana branch of the Prison Reform league.

Where is he this morning?” * Secretary Hoyi explained that G-overno? Brown was not yet officially recording his whereabouts, and added that Governor Smith might be expected at the Office any moment, as the governor had just left the mansion. "Then Governor Brwon isn’t governor yet?” said the astonished stranger. Secretary Hoyl explained that the in auguration will take place in June. “Well, I declare,” remarked the visitor again. He and his companion, a lady who was apparently hls daughter, looked at each other in astonishment. “So you say he ain’t been inaugurated yet? Whose picture is that over there?” he diverged* a finger at the oil portrait of ex- Governor Northen on the wall. Secretary Hoyl told him. ; “And who's is this?” pursued the vis itor, turning to one on the opposite wait ' “That's old Governor Brown—Joseph E. Brown.” Secretary Hoyl told him. The visitor was lost in astonishment. “Yes, that’s the old man. sure enough:”, he agreed. "Well, I declare! He was the first man I ever heard make a political speech. It was when I was a boy!” After some further remark, s during which the visitor claimed old ances with the Brown family. Secretary- Hoyl ventured the suggestion that if the visitor had any business with Governor elect Brown he might find him in Mari etta, though the secretary thought the governor-elect was really out in the state somewhere. ■ “No, no business,” the visitor ifisclalm ed. “Just wanted to see him. Well, I de clare! And I thought he was already in augurated." - - ■ - And still wondering, *nd still talking, quaintly, the visitor preceded Mr. Hoy*, to the door and disappeared Id the cor ridors. 7
