A delicious bit of humor comes from Atlanta to the effect that Can didate Walker will not run indepen dent against Smith. ■“The modern girl has lost the art of % kissing" declares a pessimistic writer. .The scornful look in the Americus iglrls’ eyes is a sufficient answer. 'The conservation movement invades Georgia next month. If it would only Save Tallulah Falls for future genera tions it wil lhave earned an eternal debt of gratitude. "Atlanta is engaged in its usual bien- vaial search' for some one to beat Jim Woodard. It Is to be hoped the quest will be as successful this time as in the past two Instances. ’ The Sovereign Grand Hodge of Odd 2 Fellows meets in Atlanta in a few days - now, 'but the newspapers up there seem to be giving the matter scant at -Mention as yet. e offices of the state. South Georgia has been patient and long suffering. It has borne toe srunt battle, it has never wavered in its allegiance to democracy, and it Ui3 r after year permitted itself to b: despoiled of a reasonable share ot the lonors that go with political control of the state. When the populist move ment was sweeping over North and Middle Georgia, rf.a Macedonian cry went out from Atlanta to South Geor gia to save the day. South Georgia rolled up its old time democrats ma jorities—and kept the Nortif Geur- ians in office. It is not wise to stir up a sectional feeling in addition to a factional feel ing in a great state like this. Yet it is not right that South Georga should fold its hands, humbly, sink Into the rear pew. and thank God that North Georgia condescends to give to It a few minor clerkships or a secretaryship in an executive office, while North Georgia takes the senatorships, ths governorship, the presidency of the senate and the speakership of the house, with seventy-five per cent, of the other patronage. Self respect de mands that South Georgia assert its rights and demand, in no uncertain tones, that it be accorded full recog nition artd a full meed of the honors of the party to which it contributes half of tbe votes and to which, in ths hour of greatest need, it proved a ver itable Gibraltar of strength. North Georgia should have tae common political decency and sense to drop cut of the race for the pres! deucy of the senate and accord this honor to South Georgia. It shouj.l realize that South Georgia is a young giant, that the feeling ot soreness is one that easily spreads and becom an Irresistible Impulse to square a counts af the first opportune time. Refuse South Georgia- proper recog nition. rob tit of the honors that should come to It, and the day will come, and that not far distant, when there will be a reversal of conditions that have been continued for so many years, when South Georgia will rise, in its might, take control of the stats and* give to North Georgia a dose of the treatment that has been accorded to South! Georgia for nigh on to a half century., South Georgia Is unquestyaably en titled to the presidency of the senate Even then it gets but a small part of the honors and patronage /that should come to it. North Georgia will then have the governorship and the speakership. That should suffice it. The newspapers of .South Georg should sound the slogan and arouse a sufficient intensity of spirit in their respective local-ties to Insure the re cognition of the claims tof this see tlon. If tbe newspapers are indiffer ent and the people supine we need ex peot nothing for this section except the continuance of the old system of North Georgia "hogging" everything in sight. the folly of every leader wnose zeal outruns discretion and exceeds the limits of what business car. stand in the shape of new exactions.

The necessity of labor unio o-ting themaelves from the :orms ops, these and other iv.ere unhesitatingly endorsed are by nil men of humanitarian their obligations in the desire to gain a petty partisan advantage. Measures that were really good were not consid ered on their merits but solely from the viewpoint a3 to whether -hey woul i promote the interests of Smith or Brown. There is no excuse for a continua tion of this condition. If the Brown men should control either the House or the Senate it is certainly to be hoped The Worcester Telegram calls Roosevelt "The advance agent of th aoor house.” Business cannot stand too much unsettling just at this time, . and no one knows what trend the "!r- rrepressili’c 1" w ill next develop. " Again it has been demonstrated by several deaths, that canned salmon and ice cream are a mixture against whicri nature revolts. Yet some people will «o on Inviting death' in the same old ■ ,vav. THE- SAD STATE OF MR. WATSON Miss Jane Addams, founder of the famous Hull House and instigator oi much reform work In Chicago, has just celebrated her fiftieth birthday ^anniversary. It takes a real strong -.■woman lo own up to the fact tint she . Mas passed the half century mark. Senator ' Bob" LaPollette defeated "-..bis opponent by three to one and re- vvtcrns to the United States Senate for “te years. While his zeal may at tim outrun discretion I-aFollette is too ’Aisable a representative of the people Weep at home. Wisconsin has hon Me .itself by its course. Simon Guggenheim, who is senaotr firom Colorado solely by virtue of his mieatth. seems to have looked carefully ■titter tbe interests of his personally controlled Industries when the tariff bill was In preparation. A schedule o' t Ahem shows protection ranging mainly .from 20 to 75 per cent. Yet some peo Die are foolish enough to believe tha aom« United States senators really represent the people. ... The conviction must by this time Dare forced itself even upon his most ardent friends that there la somethin wrong with Tom Watson, that the per petual strife in which he has engaged has, to say the least, got upon ht3 nerves, and that the time has come when he should tone them up with long rest and absolute freedom from political squabbling or religious dis cord. The Watson of today Is not the Wa*- son of a few years ago, although' eve: then he wao a man of considerable ir rationality In politics, governed large ly by impulse and stirred by emotion- that others could not sympathize with oat Lite Watson of today, who de'ib erately enters a party primary, in tw Instances at least, and then, almosr before the returns have been compiled urges a ibolt against a successful op lonent In the congressional race an against tbe winner in the gubernatoi ial race,, shows a lack of character that charity compels one to ascribe t an unfortunate mental state brought about by the acrimonious warfare in which he has been engaged. It would be an act of true friendship for sonic one who Is close to him to suggest that, temporarily at ioast. he abandon politics and Journalism, and by rc3t restore his nervous system to a better tone. It is to be deplored that a man who once gave such rare promise has so rapidly deteriorated and has final ly reached the point where be Is an object at once of mingled scorn and pity and wonderment. V- seeking and dishonest leader stressed, as was the necessity of avoid ing strikes whenever possible, this latter connection the ex-president said: * v,w-'M I think that tins next quarter of century will be important politically in many ways and in none more than in the labor movement. Not only , are the benefits of labor organizations | more clearly understood than ever be- that they will let partisan politics j f ore nut any shortcoming or vice dis- aione when it comes to matters of !e;;-| played in connection therewith is also more clearly -understood and more (station and act solely for tbe purpose of promoting the welfare of Georgian*, as a whole. It is true that the Smith egislators during the past two sessions set an example to the contrary, but that is no reason why it should be fol lowed during 1311-12. Let us t'ave an end to 4hU “Brown legislators” and ‘Smith legislators" business. It is sim ply sickening to think of a great state like this being held up in such a way. Surely Its sworn representiftives can rise superior to such considerations, develop a broad spirit of patriotism, and show that they are really seeking to promote the public weal first an 1 personal ambitions thereafter. ALWAYS BOOM FOR .PUSH AND PLUCK. Mike Jones was killed in Savannah ou Sunday. His automobile turn;d turtle and his life was snuffed out. To those who knew Jone3 this mean: that a man of pluck and euterpris. had passed away. Mike Jones was a living exemplifies tion of the fact that In order tt achieve success It is not necessary tj start with strong, influential friends, with' fine backing, with connections that assure business from the start. Jones had none of these things, and yet he died a wealthy man. His ex perlenee is an illustration of the fae; that tbe world does not, cannot, «ho'J down the boy who "Iras grit, determi nation, push and intelligence. Jones went to Savannah from the country probably fifteen years ag). He lauded there with $3 in his pocket, with no friends, and with no job. Be fore the $3 was exhausted he hud job He didn't expect a velvety J..b, where he could stroll down enrly it the morning, wearing immacula: linen, and sit in a comfortably fur nished office for a few hours. He ex pected to work and he got work. Tht stipend was small, b it out of it. n' saved money. You ece Jones didn't stand around the street corners wait ing to treat every girl he knew soda water. A few years passed on and Jones was in business for b.msolf. Peop.e, have a way of recognizing the “get- up-and-git” quality in a young man After he had saved a few hundred dol lars he could get credit, because was recognized a? ster'lng. He went Into the furniture business, prospered, opened stores in other towns, and isx a few years was a wealthy man. Some boya talk about "tuck" being against them, about there being "no chance" for them. To the cigarette- smoking, soda-guzzling, street-cornei- loafing. tender-handed boy, who thinks more of the cut of his collar and the shade of hi3 socks matching i.'is tie than he doe3 of work, there is “no chance." But the world is still foil of chances for young men who are not afraid to work and to hustle. quickly resented. The public is gro ing more and more to understand that. In a contest between employer ami employe—a corporation .and a trade! union—not only t'he interests of these two, 'but the interests of the third party—(the public—must be con sidered. Anything like levity in pro voking a strike on the one hand or >ti the other, is certain more and more to be resented by the public. Strikes are sometimes necessary and proper, some times they represent the only way in which after all other methods have been exhausted, it is possible for the laboring man to stand for his rights, but it must be clearly understood that a strike Is a matter of last resort. Our social organization is too complex for us to fail quickly to condemn those who, with levity or in spirit of wanton brutality, bring about far-reaching and disastrous and interference with Its normal process. The public sym pathizes cordially with any movement for a good standard for living and for moderate hours of employment. 1 per sonally, for Instance, cordially believe in an eight-hour day, and in one day in seven for complete rest. Where men and women are worked under harsh •and intolerable conditions, and can secure no relief without a strike, o; indeed, where the strike is clearly un dertaken for things which are vitally necessary—and then only as a last re sjr—the public sympathy will favor the wage-workers; but it will not fav or them uni"".- eCT'i’tlOES as these are fulfilled. Therefore it is becoming more than ever Important that the labor movement should com bine steady farseeing leadership with discipline and control in its ranks Dishonest leader,ship is a curse any where in American life, and nowhere is it a greater curse than in the labor movement.’ The Central has carried 158,000 peo ple to Tyliee island so far this year. The number would probably have been increased to 300,000 If the road were operated by electricity and trains run more frequently. Strange that the Central doesn't develop this little branch as it might be. Ciai.cv Bartlett goes back <o con gress.
