Anything that prevents the average

a blow at liberty, is Editor Brantley’s
comment on the legislative attitude
toward biennial sessions.
The Brunswick News thinks Con
gressman Brantley will be the man if
a senatorial deadlock of any length
develops at Atlanta. Is Congress
man Brantley also a “receptive can
didate?”
“Why was j- that Atlanta made no
figure at the coronation?” asks the
Jacksonville Times-Union, in common
with many other papers. Atlanta has
probably been too busy planning to
keep all the state political jobs.
The Associated Press correspond
ent at Atlanta has sent it out that
Gov. Smith will be elected on he
first ballot. This is simply a prema
ture expression of the correspondent's
hopes.

WHAT TYPE OF SENATOR WOULD
EACH ASPIRANT BE.
There's a new view of senatorial
duties on the part of the public,
there's a new' style of senatorial cam
paigns. and there is an ever increas
ing number of a new style of senat
ors in the upper house at Washing
ton. That is about the tenor of num
erous articles appearing in the mag
azines and newspapers these days, and
it is about the conclusion reached by
a writer in Munsey’s who deals with
“The New Regime in the Senate.”
Just at this time when Georgia is
in the throes of a senatorial selection
it is of more than ordinary interest
to know that a different type of sen
ators is required by public opinion
from the old class who ornamented the
halls of that venerable body for three
quarters of a century, and especially
during the past twenty years. Dig
nity, comfort, acquiescence in the set
tled order of things, , \ie conservation
of property, heredity and special priv
ilege, are going by the boards, this
and other waiters on the topic say,
and the senators who are breaking
into the American House of Ixtrds are
breezy, deterpiiled, vigorous, scrap
py, not devoted to precedent or cus
tom, in touch with the actual aspira
tions of the people, and inclined to
serve the people rather than the cor
porations. The writer in Munsey sum
marizes the difference between the
old and the new, or rather the com
ing, regimes, as follows:
“The old Senate was composed of
amiable gentlemen who found that
the badge of senatorial distinction
gratifyingly compared with their no
tions of personal dignity. It wa3 a
nice thing to be a senator.
“Under the old regime, gentlemen
with political ambitions fought to get
into the senate.
“Under, the new, the people fight to
put men into the senate.
“Under the old regime, attainment
of a senatorial seat was the gratifica
tion of ambition.
“Under the new, it is merely the
achievement of an opportunity to
gratify ambition.
“Distinction was the inspiration and
and motive with which men used to
seek the toga.
“Service is the inspiration which to
day moves men to seek the oppor
tunity of senatorial usefulness.
“Men used to fight to get into the
senate; now they go into the senate
to fight. The fighting used to be the
means and the senatorship the end;
now, the senatorship Lb the means and
the fighting the end.”
This sort of reading is inclined to
make one sit up and wonder what the
senatorial candidates at Atlanta pro
pose doing if they should get to Wash
ington. Where does each and every
one of them stand? Is he seeking the
seat for the honor it carries with it,
for a pleasant term of years in offi
cial high life at the capitoi, with its
social enjoyments, or is he seeking it
for the service he ican do the public,
not only of Georgia, but of the na
. tion at large, in breaking down de
; partmental abuses, in restoring the
t government into the hands of the
. people, in eliminating injustices and
extravagances wherever found to ex
ist, in uncovering and exposing
wrongdoing and enforcing punishment
.of wrongdoers? What is their pur
. pose in seeking the seat left vacant
. by Clay?
Georgia has not had much aggres
siveness in its senatorial delegation
i in recent years. Its progressiveness
. has been of a mild type. Os what
, caliber, in this respect, are the can
, didates now before the elective body
at Atlanta? Are they, to quote from
the Munsey article, seeking the grat
ification of an ambition, or are they
, seeking opportunity for service of an
i unselfish character in behalf of the
people?
The Valdosta Times insists that the
future historian will give Gov. Brown
a place among Georgia's great gov
ernors, “among the sanest, most pa
triotic and most uncompromising of
those who have wrought with an eye
single to the public.” "Little Joe”]
himself simply claims that he gave:
the state a much needed rest.
A wise old judge declares that the
best preventative of family jars and
subsequent divorce proceedings is a
“little surprise” on the part of wifey
every now and then. A visit from
mother-in-law, for instance, or a bill
for the new spring hat?
Here is the way the Tampa Tribune
sums up the Georgia political situa
tion: “Hoke Smith is the Georgia
Colossus. He has one foot on the
i Governorship, the other on the Sen
atorship, and all the would be politic
ians crawling beneath the broad
span.”
President Dabney, of the University
of Cincinnati, pays a high tribute to
"hat the South is doing in an educa
tional way. The progress of public
education in this section in the past
; '<*n years is one of the brightest pages
in the South’s history. (

After the Historic Facts.
As a small boy was standing on one
of the best library chairs and clawing i
with his grubby hands some of the <
choicest bindings in the bookcase, i
says the Indianapolis Sun, his progen- <
itor entered suddenly and cried, rath
er sharply: “What are you doing at t
that bookcase, Wilfred?”
“Trying to find the History of the
United States, father.”
“What for?” '
‘‘Why, Joe Billings, at our school, i
says Mike Donlin played with the
Giants year before last, and I say he
didn’t.” :
In Ireland.
John Redmond, the Irish leader, was
annoyed, on his last visit to America,
by the commiserating and ignorant re
marks on Ireland made by a New York
woman.
“Is it true, Mr. Redmond,” this wo
ban finally asked, “that the Irish eat
nothing but potatoes?”
Mr. Redmond laughed harshly.
"That is quite true, madam,” he re
plied, “and when we have eaten the
potatoes’ insides we clothe ourselves
with the skins.”
The Wrong Spirit.
Frederick Townsend Martin was
condemning the spirit that animates
too many “slum” expeditions.
"A little girl from the East Side,” he
said, “was invited the other day to a
garden party given by a very aristo
cratic lady to a group of little East
Siders.
“The little girl, as she drank her
tea and ate her plum cake on a velvet
lawn under a white-blooming cherry
tree said to her hostess:
“ ‘Does your husbnad drink?’
“ ‘Why—er—no, not to excess,’ was
the astonished reply.
“ ‘How much does he make?’
“ ‘He doesn’t work,’ said the lady.
‘He is a capitalist.’
“‘You keep out of debt, I hope ’
“ ‘Of course, child. What on earth— ’
“‘Your color looks natural —I trust
you don’t paint.’
“ Hook here,’ exclaimed the hostess,
‘what do you mean by all these im
pudent questions?*
“‘lmpudent?’ said the little girl.
1 ‘Why, ma’am, mother told me to be
sure and behave like a lady, and
' when ladies call at our rooms they
always question mother like that.’ ”
i
Didn’t Know the King.
A service paper relates an amusing
r story of King Ixmis of Bavaria. His
, Majesty was much annoyed on one
occasion when the soldier on guard at
. the palace gates neglected to present
s arms. The truth was the soldier did
not know his Majesty by sight.
“ ‘Why don’t you present arms?” the
. latter asked angrily. “Don’t you know
. to whom you are indebted for your
, daily bread ”
, The sentry glared angrily at the
l King, and, imagining him to be the
. army baker, replied:
r “So you are the miserable son of a
t baker who fuiinshes the soldiers with
. bread, are you? AVell, I should like to
t have you by yourself in some quiet
place I'd spread your ungainly anat
. omy over three kingdoms! I'd make
1 dough of ou!”

f dandruff is a germ, disease and it

’j the druggist selling them to refund

with the results from the very first
bottle and the first cake of soap.
, We can afford to make this offer
because one bottle of Zemo and one
cake of soap are sufficient to show
their healing qualities and if used
according to directions, they will ef
fect a permanent cure.

♦ A AYEDDIG SONG. ♦
(From Alfred Tennyson’s “Day
Dream.”
And on her lover's arm she leant,
And round her waist she felt it fold,
And far across the hills they went
In'that new world which is the old;
Across the hills and far away
Beyond their utmost purple rim,
And deep into the dying day
The happy princes followed him.
And o’er them many a sliding star
And many a merry wind was borne,
And streamed thro’ many a golden
bar.
The Twilight melted in the morn,
And o'er them many a flowing range
Os vapor buoyed the crescent bark.
And rapt tho’ many a rosy change
The twilight died into the dark.
And o’er the hills and far aawy,
Beyond their utmost purple rim,
Beyond the night, across the day,
Thro' all the world she followed
him.
The man who gives up before he is
licked is twh)e conquered — once by
himself and cfnee by the other fellow.
