-* ACCORDING TO THE PROVERBS ♦
♦ ♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦
(Chicago Record-Herald.)
‘ Early to bed and early to riye"
Was a saying he never forgot;
He wished to be healthy and wealthy
and wise,
But to tell the truth, he was no.
He always was careful to look ere he
leaped,
And he always thought twice ere he
spoke,
But he never got much for the crops
that he reaped
And few were the records he broke.
He never crossed bridges before they
were reached.
His candle ne’er burned at both
ends;
He endeavored to practice the things
that he preached,
He was careful in choosing his
friends;
"He remembered the rolling stone pro
verb and stayed
In one little spot all his life.
But his heels were run down and his
trousers were frayed,
And his neighbors all pitied his wife.
Moral.
There’s a lesson these few simple
verses reveal,
Whoever peruses may find it;
The proverb is good, but a very great
deal
Depends on the man who’s behind it.
i
Teddy keeps calling “Thief, thief,
thief,” and the committee keeps on
stealing just the same.
Talk about money in coffee. The
Arbuckle estate is placed by the ad
ministrator at $37,500,000.
"V
The old plank doesn’t interest Bryan
so much now that he has got about
sl6 to the average man’s sl.
As the Baltimore Sun puts it, “It is
better to trust what you can control
than to be controlled by the trust.”
Teddy says Taft comes dangerously
near to being a traitor. Get out the
cobwebbed block and the blood stain -
ed ax.
A Baltimore bill collector dropped
dead just as he signed a receipt. This
shows the danger of being too hasty
in paying bills.
This looks mighty much like on' 1
time the Democratic party can win
regardless of Bryan or Hearst’s
wishes.
The Baltimore & Ohio Railroad ex
pended $30,000 fixing up its depot in
Baltimore for the convention travel.
Tramp, tramp, tramp the boys are
traveling.
Brevity is the soul of political ex
pression. The Baltimore Sun puts it
tersely this way: “Square Deal vers
us Bare Steal.”
The Wilson papers are spreading
the impression that Bryan is about
to climb on the Wilson band wagon
for good. Bryan knows but one band
wagon and it hails from .Nebraska.
Collector Stone, of Baltimore, wired
to a “colored friend” in Baltimore
that no ticket would be issued to the
Chicago convention to “any d d
Roosevelt man.” Will this shut Roose
velt out of the convention? j
IHE COMING CONVENTION CITV.
The fire chiefs of the state will
soon gather at Americus for their
annual convention. As has been the
case with other visitors, they will be,
we believe, surprised at the appear
ance of a city that despite its size is
thoroughly abreast with the times,
with all modern conveniencies and
improvements, and offering advantages
for business and residence that but a
few years ago cities of much larger
population did not present.
Americus is rapidly developing into
p convention city of note. In the past
two or three years it has handled sev
era] large bodies in a very satisfac
tory way. It will reach out for others
from year to year. Had it gone into
the field earlier it might have secur
ed the Georgia Pharmaceutical Asso
ciation. It will make a try for it for
1914 and probably land it. The way
to get conventions is to go after them
in advance, to let the people know
that you want them, and to put in ef
fective licks begore the convention
actually meets. That is what Ameri
cus proposes doing hereafter.
Conventions seem to prefer June as
their meeting time. June is the best
month in the year for Americus to
entertain them. That is the fruit seas
on, the time when Americus can
serve them with the finest peaches,
the finest watermelons, the finest
canteloupes, the finest berries, that
are grown on the top side of the
earth. Not only that, but it can give
the visitors a variety of menues that
will drive away the jaded feeling from
the most sated appetite and restore
the eating zest of youth to the most
blase palate.
Every convention that comes to
Americus is a highly effective adver
tisement for the city. The people of
Americus are naturally hospitable,
they are naturally really glad to wel
come the strangers within their gates
and to let them know it in the most
enthusiastic way possible. No one
who attends a gathering here but
feels that the cordiality of the recep
tion comes from the heart and is not
forced.
The fire chiefs will be convinced o.'
this fact when they arrive, just as
the dentists were,, just as every other
class of visitors has been in the past.
Americus proposes to live up to its
reputation in this respect and even to
improve on it, if that is possible.
There are other conventions lo dc
held this year at which Americus
! should be represented and make an
I effort to bring them here next year,
l or at least lay the groundwork to
secure them for 1914. There is a
kind feeling toward Americus ail
over the state and it is not improbable
that if persistent steps along this line
are taken that 1913 and 1914 can be
made the manner years here in way
of state conventions. There are many
inducements that can be. offered and
there is a natural desire among all
classes over the state to see this sec
tion and learn more at first hand
about a county that has won such
wide recognition as the home of pro
gressive agriculture, good roads, and
general prosperity of a high type.
Roosevelt’s manager described
Taft’s steam roller in use in the Na
tional Committee in this enthusiastic
language: “It is self-starting, re
quires half as much fuel as did the
steam roller in 1908; runs safely
without a brake; carries a heavier
load and is guaranteed to flatten any
object placed before it, from an Idaho
senator to a Kentucky colonel.”
The automobile displaced the doc
tor's gig and the old white horse. And
now the aeroplane promises to put
the auto back into the garage to stay.
Already one or two doctors north
have flown—not figuratively but liter
ally—to the bedsides of patients dan
gerously ill. This is a great age.
Mayor Gaynor is to the point. He
told the committee of striking wait
ers that while they had acted in a
“mean, low way” in trying to break
up his dinner to the visiting German
naval officers, he would see to it that
every right they had was protected.
Gaynor is all right, generally.
In contrast with the usual Repub
lican party policy the Democratic
l arty will probably put up a big man
for vice-president as well as for pres
ident. The Democratic party has
plenty of able men to fill both offices
and make up a strong cabinet in ad
dition.
London, Berlin and Paris will have
press representatives at the Demo
cratic Convention. Even Europe rec
ognizes that the man nominated at
Baltimore will be the next president
of the United States—and probably
president for eight years to come.
The parcels post system of England
bandied one hundred millions paca
ages lats year. And yet they are
making as much fuss over there
about the high cost of living as they
are here.
Hearst is proving the stumbling
block in the way of Clark’s aspira
tions. Prominent Democrats gather
ing at Baltimore make no secret if
their opposition to th*> Speaker on the
score of the Hearst influence.
Roosevelt’s declaration for female
suffrage is said to have assured him
five or six states In which women
now vote in the event that he bolts
and runs independent. Teddy is “on
to the game" all right.
There are some thousands of Fed
eral office holders throughout the
country who had better begin to con
nect up with some other jobs. Their
tenure of office will be short after
March 4, next.
LaFollette is back in Washington
telling everybody that he “is as hard
as a pine knot." This assurance as
to his health, though, will hardly re
vive the lost boom for the presidency.
They refer to a group of New York
bankers as the “Dictators of Finace.’’
Their song probably is, “Let us con
trol the cash and we care not who
makes the nation’s laws.”
It is reported that there is a sig
nificant lack of local enthusiasm for
Roosevelt in Chicago, and that the
Colonel will have to import his con
vention spielers.
If Bryan doesn’t want to go to the
cabinet he would make a fine ambas
sador to England. He has money
enough now to be able to accept the
appointment.
The “Progressive Party” is a-born
in’.

TO PULL OFF
A PERFECT
JARRIAGE
BOSTON IS THE PUCE
Longfellow’s Grandson Mill
Be Happy Man
Boston, June 14.—There is to be a
“perfect” wedding out in Cambridge
June 15, one of the most interesting
\ weddings Boston ever has known. It
is none other than that of Edmund T.
Dana, grandson of the poet Longfel
low, and Miss Jessie Holliday, the
pretty little English portrait painter
and suffragist.
There's to be no minister at this
wedding, no bridesmaids, ushers or
best man. The ceiemony will be per
lormed by Edmund M. Parker, a Bos
ton lawyer and fiiend of the family,
out in the open air, under the historic
trees of the Dana estate.
T ana, the son of Richard H. Dana,
like his fiancee is a socialist. He is a
Harvard, ’O9, man, assitant in the de
partment of philosophy, and this
month receives a Ph. D. They first
met at the Fabian summer school in
North Wales. The engagement was
announced last fall and the plucky
little English girl, who surely has
the courage of her convictions, left her
home in England and came to Ameri
ca. She is now the guest of the Danas
where the marriage will take place.
“I consider health one of the most
important thing in the ideal husband,”
the pretty prospective bride declared
j today. “By health” ! don’t mean ab-
I sence of disease —people have the most
miserable standards of health—they
call themselves in perfect health :f
they are able to get up most of the
days of the year and waJk ’round with
the aid of stimulants in the way of
food, drink, tobacco, etc., and if thev
are more or less free from headaches,
colds, bad tempers, fits of depression
and uncontrolled desires, I imply by
health,” she continued, “the absti
nence from tobacco, alcohol and meat,
tor these all interfere with nature.
Should Have Great Aim.
“Then I think a man should have
some great aim in life besides earning
a living—some mighty purpose, to
which all his thoughts point—relig
ion or socialism, for instance. Without
this a man can have no heroism.
“The ideal husband would believe in
woman suffrage. The wife’s point of
view should be asked and taken into
consideration on politics, as in the
home.
“If he is a suffragist he will regard
his wife as an equal with himself—
mind, I do not say the same,” she
warned. “He will leave entirely in his
wife’s control her supreme function of
motherhood; there she is not equal,
but superior to him, but as he is su
perior to her in his particular life
work, if he has one, all questions to
do with sex should be left to the wo
man’s better judgment.
“Then the ideal husband should
have a good life behind him. The
conventional double standard of moral
ity for men and women is vicious.
“Women must demand more of
men. They must assert their fastid
iousness. Hitherto women have been
stolen, bought or given away, but civ
ilization is beginning to realize that
woman must be given absolute free
dom to exercise her faculty of choice.
She can then set her value. Men will
become just as strong, honorable and
beautiful in their lives as she de
mands.
“I think the ideal husband should
love his wife. This sounds like an ab
surd platitude, but by love I don’t
mean the usual romantic idealization
of a person which necessarily wears
out in time, I mean absolute sympa
thy with a person. Complete under
standing of his character, his faults
and qualities, coupled with an intense
interest in helping its development
and watching its growth.
Grand Co-Operation Imperative.
There should be a grand co-opera
tion between man and wife, each help
ing the other to evolve to the highest
powers of beauty and utility. For its
complete union there must be abso
lute confidence and frankness, with
each other. All their fears, hopes,
joys, sorrows, aspirations, ambitions,
failures and faults should be shown
and shared continually, without pride
or reserve, that they may keep in
constant understanding and sympathy
“Then a man, to be an ideal hus
band, should take a real interest in
children and help enthusiastically and
thoughtfully in tht'ir whole upbringing
and nurture. He should regard wo
manhood and motherhood as sacred—
not as jests or conveniences.
“He sonld have a high standard for
