(that relic of the middje ages)
and no doubt deems it nec
essary to again set . aside
the constitution, in order to
prepare Germany for another
series of Empire expanding
wars. By thus diverting the
people’s attention from inter-
nal political affairs, lie hopes
to unite them in patriotism
arid military pride, by incit
ing war with foreign nations,
and thus prevent disintegra
tion of his own Empire.

inalysis, means revolution,
whether peaceful or bloody,
if means the overthrow of ex
isting institutions and enter
■4Tig upon a chimerical dream
of social, political and econo
mical (‘quality, as absurd in
practice as it is attractive in
theory.
However there is no use
denying the fact that this par
ty is a strong factor in the
world’s political make-up.
It is growing very rapidly,
and will no doubt play a con
spicuous: part, in the future
history of both continents.
Flying the Alps.
Over one hundred years a
go Napoleon astounded the
world by crossing the Alps
with his victorious army in a
fortnight. East I‘riday with
the Aeroplane (the wonder
ful invention of the twentieth
century) Chavez, the daring,
Peruvian aviator crossed the
snowcapped Alpine barrier
in forty minut s, beating bis
own world’s record for height
of <S27 1 feet.
Starting at Brig, Switzer
land, it was bis intention to
follow the eagle’s route across
the Alps to Domodossola, and
thence to Milan, Italy, a dis
tance of seventy live miles;
the successful accomplishment
of which would have entitled
him to a prize of $20,000 off
ered by the Italian Aviation
Society.
The Alps had been crossed
successfully, and just as the
plucky hero attempted to
make a landing at Domodos
! sola, when about thirty feet
above the ground, a sudden
gust of wind seemed to catch
! the aeroplane, which turned I
1 over and fell.
Both his legs were broken, i
his left thigh fractured, and
his body badly contused. His
injuries, however, are not
considered fatal, and unless
unforeseen complications set
in, his physicians think he
will be about in two months.
This is a wonderful age.
What will ;m . hunored more
years bring fortl'r? Will the
next century be as far ahead
of the present time as the
twentieth century is in ad
vance of the nineteenth?
I What of America? She is
I now able to feed the world.
Far less than a hundred years,
unless lu-r population is
thinned by war, famine, or
j some unforeseen calamity, she
| will not be able to,' sustain
; her own people, judging from
the enormous increase each
decade is adding to her popu
lation.
Some scientists believe we
have not reached the border
line of civilization ; that we
are yet living in the “Ikirk
Ages,” as it were; that the
future will bring forth won
ders that would stagger the
imagination to contemplate;
that our present state of
culture will be regarded as the
unenlightened relics of a for
mer age.
We do not desire to live a
an hundred years, but the
thought comes to us, that
from some corner of God’s
great universe we should like*
to he able to look down up
on this old world and view
the wonderful transformation.

Uncle Sam Gets
After Mud-
Si ingers.
Criminations and recrimi
nations, vituperation, person
al abuse, and character assas
sins seem to he the order of
the day.
The fair name of Georgia
is not the only one that is be
ing besmirched. Tennessee
has just gone through a hot
campaign culminating in Pat
terson’s retirement from the
gubernatorial race and the fu
sion of the independent dem
ocrats and republicans in the
nomination of Hooper, the
republican candidate.
In South Carolina Feather
stone, who, it was claimed,
represented the best element,
was defeated after a hot con
test by Blease, a local option
candidate. And in Mississ
ippi the press became so vio
lent and abusive that “Uncle
Sam” threatened interfer
ence in the interest of public
safety.
•Now what does all this
mean, and where will it end?
It seems that the time has
arrived in this country, when

as the public conveyor of his
personal spleen, places no li
mit upon the indecency of
his attack; hut with perfect
impunity seems to delight in
hurling all kinds of epithets.
Liar scoundrel, thief, vaga
bond, reprobate, and such
terms are indulged in until
actually a self respecting and
honorable man fears to en
ter the arena of politics.
'Fhe newspapers ought to
quit publishing such rot. It
not only antagonizes and em
bitters the candidates against
each other, hut also creates
bitterness among their follow
ers. Fine state of affairs,
when the Federal government
deems it necessary to notify
the newspaper men of a
Southern state, to tone down j
their articles for the benefit
of public safety.
Some of our hot headed
editors in Georgia better take
warning. We believe in a
free and untrammeled press,
but discussions should be dig
nified and parliamentary, and
not descend to the low level
of the “gutter snipe” and
character assassin.

A Reliable Medicine;
Not a Naracotic.
Mrs. F. Marti, St. Joe, Mich.,
says Foley’s Honey and Tar saved
her little boy’s life. She writes:
Our little boy contracted a severe
bronchial trouble and as the doctor’s
medicine did not cure him, 1 gave
him Foley’s Honey and Tar in
which I have great faith. It cured
the cough as well as the choking
and gagging spells, and he got well
in a short time. Foley’s Honey
and Tar has many times saved us
much trouble and we are never
without it in the house. Sold by
