WASHINGTON LETTER.
By BEN H. SULLIVAN.
The prohibition tight will he
reached in the Senate this week,
with much acrimonious discussion.
Two bills have been reported, one
against the constitutionality of the
law, preventing the shipment of
whisky from a wet state to one
that is dry; and another sustaining
the constitutionality of the law, ap
proved by the minority of the ju
diciary committee. A canvass of
the Senate would indicate 22 Dem
ocrats in favor of the law and 23
Republicans in favor of it, with 3
or 4 doubtful. Those who have
carefully canvassed the Senate be
lieve that the bill will pass by a
close vote. Both Senators Bacon
and Clay, of Georgia, are support
ing actively the bill which prevents
the shipment from a wet state to
one that is dry any spiritous liq
uors or intoxicating beverages.

Since President Roosevelt heartily
indorsed and supported Congress
man Hobson's minority report call
ing for four battleships and saw it
go down in defeat by a large major
ity, he has been losing influence
with Congress. It is anticipated
that he will get into a wrangle with
that bodv, when lie is calculated to
veto public building bills, lie is
thought to be intending to do this,
and if he does it is believed Congress
will pass them by a two-thirds vote
over his head.
According to most authoritative
gossip around the capital, Congress
is likely to adjourn before June.
(mKOKOIA's HARMONIOUS DKLKOATION.
The pennant-winning baseball
nines are those that depend upon
their team work. The star players,
looking for individual records, ig
nore the success of the club, in or
der that they may appear to then
best advantage as individual play
ers. Georgia’s Congressional dele
gation is carrying out the scientific
system of team work, co-operation,
concentration, and hence, success.
This harmonious action on the part
of the Georgia delegation creates fa
vorable comment from other repre
sentatives who are unfortunate in
accomplishing the work they desire
to do for their Congressional dis
tricts.
There are many star players in
Congress. The interests of their
constituents suffer as a result. The
orator is seldom an efficient member
of Congress. His stock-in-trade is
his eloquence and he depends upon
publicity for his popularity, rather
than efficiency in carrying out the
desires and wishes of his people.
A NOT 11KK KISH HATCIIKKV.
Congressman Thos. M. Bell is ac
tively pursuing his bill to establish
a government fish hatchery in the
Ninth district. The measure intro
duced carries an appropriation of
625,000, “For the establishment of
a fish-cultural station in the Ninth
Congressional District of Georgia,
including the purchase of site, con
struction of buildings and ponds,
equipment and maintenance.’’ The
selection of location is left to the
Commissioner of Fisheries. This
institution will be of vast import
ance to this section of the state and
through its establisment the waters
of North Georgia may be stocked
with various species of fish adapted
particularly to this climate and
these waters. The only station in
the state is now located at Warm
Springs, and the logical geographi
cal location of a second one would
be in the Ninth district on the banks
of the ('hattahooohee.
Mr. Bell is making a light before
the committee fora favorable* report
on his bill and he insists that his
district has the best water in the
South for this purpose and is right
fullv entitled to a hatchery-

The Voice of Duty.
Wake, arise, he up and doing
For the time is swiftly going,
An there's work to do.
i ’Tis the \oiee of Duty calling,
And the message clearly falling
Reaches unto you.
Stand not idle and uncaring
In the midst of burden-1 (curing —
There is work for you;
Where so puipy tear- are falling,
iWary almost unto breaking
There is work to do,
Where so many tears are falling,
Souls for sympathy are calling —
They appeal to you. ,
Wake, arouse from idle dreaming,
In a world with labor teeming —
There's some task for you.
Unto good works without number
Duty calls the souls that slumber,
There is work to do;
Re not like tin l sluggard sleeping
Through the sowing and the reaping,
There is work for you.
W hile the time is swiftly going
Make at least a worthy showing,
On the work for you;
Wait no longer for beginning —
I .earn that idleness is sinning,
There s so much to do.

Working on the Wrong Side.
An old paper tells the story of a
man who was washing the large
plate glass in a show-window.
There was one soiled spot which de
♦
tied all efforts to remove it. After
hard rubbing at it, using much
soap and water, and failing to re
move it, he found out the trouble.
“It's on the inside, ’’ he called
out to someone in the store.
Many are trying to cleanse the
soul from its stains. They wash it
with the tears of sorrow; they scrub
it with the soap of good resolves;
they rub it with the chamois of
mortality; but still the conscious
ness of it is not removed. The
trouble is, “it's on the inside.” —
Harry N. Crawford.
ME DANGER IN RIDICULE.
1 should like to say, to those who
are tempted to see only the ridicu
lous side of things, that perhaps
in the whole gamut of the character
there is nothing quite so dangerous
as that. The man who is always
serious has his risks, for there is
more laughter in God’s works than
he imagines. The man who always
argues has his risks, for there are
truths too line to be meshed in any
argument. But the man who rid
icules what is true and high and
noble had a thousand times better
never have been born into a world
so strangely built as this. It is so
cheaply, absurdly easy. And there
arc men whose only claim to being
superior is that they are able to
win that little triumph. But 1 call
that the most degrading of all tri
umphs, and that not only for the
harm it does to other 1 , but far more
for the irreparable harm that it
surely brings upon the man himself.
Life is not worth living without
some high ideal. Life is quite worth
less unless we live it reverently. If
there be nothing above us and be
yond us, we may as well give up
the struggle in despair. And the
strange thing is that when we take
to ridiculing all that is best and
worthiest in others, by that very
habit we destroy the power of believ
ing in what is worthiest in ourselves
—G. TT. Morrison, in The Wings
of the Morning.
