A number of lawyers are interest ed in this postponement, having cases which are to bo tried at the ! next term of the United States court at Vaiuosta. All good people ought to thank God for the rising tide of con science in the South and Nation. One by one the States and Com munities are lifting their spotless banner in civic life. Let no man who expects to allow conscience to do itB perpect work mar the spot less page 01 1909 with a vote or an act that he.will^not be willing to meet when he stands with his family before the bar of Him who is the Author of 1909. A very few Georgia newspapeis have voluntarily closed their col umns to ^whiskey advertisements siuce the prohibition law went into effect in the state, and still others may do as out of respect for the temperance sentiment that has as serted itself throughout the state, but there is vory little moral differ ence between a newspaper carry ing liquor ads and the solicitor who goes round seeking orders to be shipped into proscribed territory. The people of the South are every* where reaching out the hand of file: dehip ami even good fellowship to Judge Taft, not only because of his kindly nature, but mainly be. cau«e they believe the wishes of the people of the South will hare as much weight with him in matters pertaining to their section and their communities as the wishes ot the people of the North hive in similar matters, If he follows in Mr, Roose veli’s iootsteuB they will be dis appointed and will feel they were mistaken jn their impressiou of him. What Would Jesus Do? In Cleveland, Ohio, a peculiar experiment is now being tried. A compact has been made joy a large number of people to live for two weeks as Jesus would. This ex perimental period began on the first Sunday of the New Year and is to continue during last week. When it was begun 1,800 young people made the pledge and since theu 1! is claimed that fully 10,000 have unofficially joined the move' ment. This is in the right direction. Not only for two weeks but all the time, and not only 10,000 who are doiug this ostentatiously but all the men and women of this Chris tian land, should try to walk in His steps. But how to do this, when it is to be done officially is a matter that is far more difficult to determine than it is to join such a movement because it is a popular fad. He has laid down a golde.r rule to govern mew’s action. That is to do onto others as each *may wish others thoold do unto him. Who ever will regulate his conduct and actions by this rule will come very near doing as Jesus would do, and whoever does that would not make any public pledge to follo w in His stops for two weeks; for that is the first thing Jesus would not do. Vol. 39- 0- a ’ ear Confesses Moral Im potency. Mayor Tiedeman of Savannah, presented his annual report to the Council. The most interesting por tion of it was that pan dea In j with the question of prohibition la Sa vannah. The mayor took the po sition that as the represantath e element in Savannah was opposed to the opeiation of toe prohibition law it was almost impossible to en force it. The best people of the city, he said, were arrayed against the law and when public sentiment ^vas that way it was an impossibil* ity to secure its enforcement, The city bad done its share by passing an ordinance making it a crime to operate a blind tiger, but the senti ment for the sale of liquor was so pronounced that the state law is Legal Advertisements.

Tennessee Joins Georgia. The Tennessee legislature has passed the statewide prohibition bill by substantial majorities and there ia nothing now to prevent prohibition in that state but the vote of Governor Patterson, It seems the governor in Tennessee has peculiar power.-?. If he de cides to veto the bill that has beeB passed by both houses of th» gen era! assembly he can protect hie veto oy immediately adjourning the seesion fGr a year and thereby keep the 3tate wet until tliat period It is argued that the governor may take this step in view of the fact that he was elected to office over the late Editor Carmac on an out and out wet platform.
