THE SALVATION OF DEMOCRACY. THE SOUTH IS GOING DRV.
“Savoyard,” the famous Washington
correspondent on political subjects
has unraveled the tangle in which
the Democratic party has got it
self. He has cut' the knot,
twisted the maze, and presents Sena
tor Daniel, of Virglna, as the salva
tion of Democracy in 1908. Here is
what "Savoyard” says:
“About the last opinion expressed
by the late Senator Morgan, of Ala
bama, was that the Democratic Na
tional convention oi 1908 would de
termine whether there would be
Democratic party in this country af
ter the November election of 19Q8.
John Warwick Daniel has been sug
gested as the Democratic standard
bearer in 1908. His nomination might
not, and probably.would not, bring
victory, but it would bring salvation.
His defeat would leave us a Demo
cratic party.
Daniel Is of the stuff of which
great President could be made. He
is not only an American, but a gentle
man. He is a statesman, a Jurist,
and an orator. He recalls those gen
erations of Virginians from which
came our earler Presidents. He
derstands the principles of the Am
erican system and would not sur
render a single one of them to cant
or to clamor.
In the Senate John W. Daniel has
been a studious thinker. He has
delivered some great speeches in that
body that caused his colleagues to
reflect. His speech on the rate bill
of the last Congress, delleverd all
too late In the session, ranks with
Bailey's and Spooner’s and Foraker’s.
It Is such men as Daniel that amke
of the Senate what the Constitution
intended—an advisory council, with
a veto on the House of Representa
tives and on the President
In-one particular the nomination of
Senator Daniel for President would
be admirable. His personality would
be the platform. His record Is where
all men can read It. It Is Democratic
—the Democracy of Jefferson. What
ever the result, however overwhelm
ing the defeat, the party would yet
live. On the other hand, If one be
nominated who favors the initiative
and referendum, or the government
ownership of railroads, or both, he,
too, will be the platform, and they
will be the Issue whatever the plat-

Lay the Jest about the julep in the
camphor balls at last.
For the miracle has happened and
the olden days are past;
That which makes Milwaukee famous
doesn't foam in Tennessee.
And the lid in old Missouri Is as
tight locked as can be—
O, the comic paper colonel and hU
cronies well might sigh,
For the mint is waving gaily, but
the South is going dry.
By the stillslde on the hillside in Ken
tucky all Is still,
For the only damp refreshment must
be dipped up from the rill;
No’th Ca'ltna's sturdy ruler gives his
soda glass a shove.
And discusses local option with the
South Ca’lina Gov.
It Is useless at the'fountain to be
winkful of the eye,
For the cocktail glass Is dusty and
the South is going dry.
It Is water, water everywhere, and
not a drop to drink.
Wp no longer hear the music of the
mellow crystal clink
When the Colonel and the Major and
the General and the Jedge
Meet to have a little nip to give their
appetite an edge,
Fo rthe egg nog now is nogless and
the rye is gone awry,
And the punchbowl holds carnations,
and the South Is going dry.
All the nightcaps now have tassels
and are worn upon the head—
Not the nightcaps that were taken
'fore nobody went to bed.
And the breexe above the bluegrass
is as solemn as is death.
For It bears no pungent clove tang
on its oderlflc breath,
And each man can walk a chalk line
when the stars are in the sky
Fo rthe fizz glass now Is flzzless and
the South Is going dry.
Lay the -jest about the Julep, 'neath'
the chestnut tree at last,
For there's but one kind of moon
shine and the olden days are
past
Now the water wagon rumbles thro'
the Southland on its trip,
And it helps no one to drop off to
pick up the driver's whip.

DO GOOD TO
‘Therefore, as I opportunity
fers do good to all men.”
St. Paul, we believe It was, who
uttered these words, pregnant with
a lesson of vital Importance, espec
ially at a time when, as Walt Whit
man once said, “a maniacal appetite
for wealth” seems to have seized on
mankind, blunting their finer sensi
bilities, bringing baser traits of char
acter to the surface, and blinding
their eyes to the duty, laid upon
every man “to do good” to hfs fel
lows “as opportunity offers."
"Do good to all men,” not spasmod
ically but continuously, not as a balm
to conscience protesting against in
sane devotion to Ignoble purposes in
life, but from a sense of brotherly
love and brotherly responsibility.
Opportunity offers with every turn
of life, it meets one on the threshold
dally, it ls permanently with us un
til the end. It does not necessarily
or merely, mean the granting of
alms. That Is the least of all the
ways by which one can do good to
his fellows. Margaret Deland has
made one of her characters say that
“Praise ls the most neglected of all
Christian graces.” Yetgenerous praise
Is one way of doing good. The kind
word of encouragement, even though
coupled with discriminative advice,
raising new hopes and stimulating
new aspirations, is one of the high
est forms of effectively good ser
vice that can be rendered. It costs
nothing beyond the desire to be of
service, yet Its value may be lmmeas
ureabla.
Other ways of doing good will sug
gest themselves to those who may
take the great apostle's words to
heart It Is needless to enumerate
them. To those who have eyes and
desire to see, to those who have souls
filled with love for humanity, oppor
tunities will constantly present them
selves. St. Paul knew that He
realized that It was more lack of de
sire than lack of opportunity, more
the feeling of Indifference os to
others than Inability to find those
to whom good should be done, that
would lead them to neglect their
duty in this reppect.
While no stress has been laid up
on it, doing good to all men brings
rich reward In the broadening of
sympathies, In soul elevation. It
lifts one, temporarily at least, out
of the 8ordldness of crass commer
cialism. While personal benefit is
not the motive that should animate
men In doing good to their fellows
God has so attuned their natures
that personal benefits must flow from
such a course of life.
If you wish to make your own life
sweeter, to broaden your own hori
zon, keep before you, day after day,
the apostolic Injunction: “Therefore
as opportunity offers Jo^ good to all
men.”

Mayor Joyner has the right spirit
He says the prohibitory law is going
to be enforced In Atlanta as long
as he is mayor. This ls setting the
mayors of Savannah, Augusta, and
Macon a good example. The law
should be enforced rigidly so that
the public can judge for Itself as to
the actual effect of prohibition.
