THE POLITICAL COMET.
Will President 11 ■ »»««• v<* 11 r*-t ir*
t.i private lih* and remain »t pri-j
vote citizen after his r**tYirn front
liia triumphal tour of t It** world?
That m tin* question which
1 1 • 111 - litre** m national politic*,
ami in causing many a budding
politician restless inoni<*Dta.Thfr*'
arc many ami varied answers giv
i*ti to the question liy those who
keep in touch with national poll*
t ics, Init the closest friends of tit**
f..nn**r Preaulent a*lmit th»*ir in
nhil.lv In evil speculate upon tic*
coiirs*- Mr. Roosevelt will puih ll *•
wh**n In* r**t iiriitt. There aecinn to
be n consensus <>f opinion, how
ever that regardless of Mr. Room*.
veil'* form* r imp**t noaity, h<* w ill
this tint** give careful considera
tion to Ins future policies and
think well upon every phase oi
every likely course,before he com
mits himself to any action. Ir
seemed the solid inn of the prob
lem was in t in* letters supposed
to have been written to President
Taft, in which Mr. Roosevelt was
credited with endorsing emphati
cally the administration of Mr.
Taft, but the President is author
ity for the statement that In* has
Dot received any letters of that,
character from the former presi
dent so it is safe to assume that
it Mr. Ilooneyoli. has nettled upon j
his future car.-er he Inis not yet j
taken any one into his confidence
regardi in* it.
'l'ln* possibilities are that In*
will not make any announcement
oi Ins intentions until after In* lias
returned to America, lb* lias
been 111 exile a long time II 11(1
while In* is too miii'li a statesman
to have entirely cut himself oil l
from tin* political whirl in Ameri
ca, In* is not as familiar with its
under current as In* was upon hi«
departure.
Mr. Roosevelt occupies tin*
same umijtie position m present!
day politics ns Halley's comet
does to science. The scientists
may speculate upon wh.it may
happen w In'ii the tail of the comet j
passes across the face <> 1 (In* globe
but d is mere spend at ion, and
(Jelintte know ledge cannot be ob
tained until after lln* eighteenth
..I this month. The politician may
speculate a* to what Mr. Roose
velt umv or may net do, but it
will be only conjecture, and a
definite knowledge cannot be ob
tained until Mr. Roosevelt returns
and declares himself.
fln'iv are many win* believe tin
former president is not in sympu
thy with Mr. Taft's administra
tion, but it docs not follow be
cause of that fact that he will
launch into criticism of Mr. Taft
or his policies. It is believed
that .Mr. Roosevelt will support
Mr. Pmeliot in the Ballinger-
I'liichot controversy, but it does
not follow that to do that lie will
be compelled to criticise the ac
tion of Mr. Taft as president.
It is even predicted by some ot
tin* politicians that Mr. |{...<>..
\, *l l will not endorse 11»«* Tatt ad
ministration, but it is not believ
ed that he will risk Ins present
popularity by openly criticising
it Perhaps tin* former president
will take middle ground ami
thereby keep .ait of tin* political
turmoil that threatens to engulf
hi** party. —>avannau Press.

K •wan. a prosperous tanner at
Mu-si,*, six miles east of Sparks,
shot and instantly killed Jim
Willis, an eighteeu-ye»r-Md levy,
last night.
rile killing was the culmina

operation of h cotton giu ami

GEORGIA CONGRESSMEN
WILL MAKE GOOD.
Washington, May 7. —In th*-
n**.\t L. H. Congress (ieorgians will
t>e more prominent than they
have I ***** 11 for a long time. This
w ill be especial I y true if the house
Ik* democratic. It seems to be
generally conceded that Senator 1
Paeon will he the leader of the
minority in tie* senate, when Sen-,
at or Money, *>f Missippi, retires,'
in*! I venttir<* the prediction that
lie will make a hold, aggressive
and successful b*ad**r.
In the house tier** are several
< leorgians who by reason of their
ability and long service are bound
to figure log in u democratic
lions**, luvingston of the Atlanta
district is the d**an of the Geor
gia delegation. ll** has long hern
the ranking democrat on the ap
propratinn committee and he will
probably head that comrniittee if
t h** h ms** i* deni*erratic.
.Judge (duirh'S L. Partlett, of
the Macon district., is next oldest,
in point of service anil is one of
the strong men of the present
minority, lie will be one ol the
leaders of the house if there is s
domoorutie majority. I under-'
stand ho will have t<* light for his
seat, hut it is hardly likely that
with the power he would have in
n democratic house th** people of
ins district will seriously consider
any other man at I his time.
It the expected till'll comes to a
.considerable extent, then men in
high places w ill he southern d**m- j
oerut*. They* ar** t lit* democrat*
win* have had the length of ser
vice. On the score of long ten-|
nr**, they, rather than the north
ern democrats, would lie entitled
to t In* best places.
Champ Clark would, doubtless,
be speaker, though he would have
opposition. < )ne of the compara- \
lively young men in the house
who would be prominent would
in* Cnderwood, of Alabama. He
has been in the house seven full
jtcfms, and is now serving on his
eight, though h** is only IS years
old mill looks even younger tltis n
that. He is a member of the
ways and means committee, is
even-tempered and level-headed
and, in ease tlmre is a democratic
house, may be chairman of the
ways and means committee.
