Roosevelt For Another Term.
Roosevelt as the nominee of the
democratic party, as well as of the
republicans, is the suggestion of
Congressman Livingston of Geor
gia, as made to Steve Postell, the
well known Atlanta corresp niden'
a day or two ago. Mr. Livingston
believes it might be the part ol
wisdom for the democrats to beat
the other fellows to the tank,
capture their man bodily and, as
the democratic nominee, help elect
1 im president.
I>i a dispatch to the Macon Tele¬
graph yesterday Mr. Potsell says:
‘‘Meeting Congressman L. F.
Livingston in Ihe Kimball a day
or two later, 1 asked him who, in
his opinion, the Democrats would
nominate to run against Roosevelt
if he was a candidate to succeed
himself.
< t That is a hard question to
answer,” said Colonel Livingston.
‘‘The Democratic party is all at
sea. In my opinion we haven’t a
man in it that can defeat Itoose
vert, and the republican party is
in the same fix. I would not be
surprised to see him re-elected
President without opposition. He
is right on our line in many of the
^ost important issues of the day.
It might be a good idea to call an
early convention and nominate
mm. If we did this we would
have a candidate that would not
be beaten. The Republicans,know¬
ing this, would never put up any¬
one ugainst him, aud he would
succeed himself without opposi
tion.”
This is the way that many oi
the politicians that visit the capi¬
tal of the state are talking, when
the question of the next presiden¬
tial campaign comes up for dis¬
cussion. They seem to have a
fixed opinion that if President
Roosevelt wants another term, all
that he has to say is that he will
accept it, and the people will give
it to him.
The Need of Water-Works.
The Walton Tribune makes ihu
following pertinent remarks con¬
cerning waterworks in Covington:
‘‘We see that since the big fire
at Covington on the 28th, the Cov¬
ing Enterprise is clamoring for
water-works. Every city and town
in Georgia with a population of
1,000 or more should have water¬
works. They are not only a great
convenience, but they are a neces¬
sity. Without waterworks a town
is absolutely at the mercy of the
fire fiend. Bucket brigades and
such like are all very well if the
fire is discovered iu time, but once
having obtained a start buckets
are no good, and the only thing
that can be done is to let the tire
run its course. With waterworks,
it is different, for with these you
have something with which to
combat the flames and thereby
save property which would other¬
wise be destroyed.
Turkeys Are High,
Telegraphic reports from Wcco,
Texas, are that dressed turki ysare
being shipped by carloads from
t hat section to California and points
north and east. Prices have ad¬
vanced to 11 and 12 cents per
pound.
The Golden Calf
t 1905, by T. C McClure ]
The girl cr d stood silently at the
window for some few minutes, watch
came driving down from the dun col
ored clouds In the sky. With every
savage gust of wind the dead leaves
came swilling down, and the giant
elms in the street tossed their branches
in wild distress.
The strife of the storm without seeui
od typical of the stormy combat that
was going on in her heart—a warfare
between her inclinations and the dic¬
tates of sane, calm judgment.
Ihe man sat quietly by the library
table, his keen eyes fixed steadfastly
on the girl and a grim expression, half
expectancy and half iron determina¬
tion, curving the corners of his mouth.
The girl turned from the window,
and from her eyes he learned the con¬
flict was not yet brought to an issue.
She spoke slowly, with something like
appeal to her tones.
“Must you go tomorrow?" she asked.
“Tomorrow,” he replied inexorably.
“And—and you waut an answer be¬
fore you go?"
“An affirmative answer,” he correct¬
ed smilingly.
“Don’t go out there, Tom," she said,
with a queer little quaver in her voice
“I must,” he said simply. “It’s a
magnificent field. It offers everything
I want—money, power and position.”
His eyes burned as be sjrnke, but they
softeped as they rested on the girl’s
face. “Think what it means,” he fin¬
ished.
“You’re sure you want all this—the
money and the power?" she asked.
“Absolutely certain,” said he cheer¬
fully.
She turned to the window again and
watched the leaves driven hither and
thither in the wind. Then she faced
the man at the table with a pathetic
smile on her lips.
“Tom, I—I—can’t,” she said.
He sat quite still, as if the words
had stunned him. His eyes stared
blankly at her.
“You don’t love me, Helen—Is that
it?” he asked very slowly.
"It’s not that,” she confessed.
“Don’t you have faith In my ultimate
success?” ho asked.
“All the faith in the world,” she de
clared.
'Then tell me, Helen, what makes
you hesitate?” said he.
“I don’t know Just what it Is, but
something makes me afraid of you,”
6he replied. “I think it’s because I
know you’ll have money and power
and all that goes with it. I’m afraid
I shall become just a side Issue In your
life.”
“Never!” he maintained stoutly.
She held out her hand deprecating
iy
“I’ve watched you rise," she went
on. “I’ve watched you climb up, up—
always up. But you are never satis¬
fied. You are bound to go on and on
and on. You speak of money. You
have an amount now that many a man
would envy. - You talk of power. It
Is yours here. And yet it Isn’t enough.
You must go to other fields with great¬
er opportunities. Tom, dear, it’s hard
to say, and yet I must—you bow down
to the golden calf aud you always will.
In the years to come you would think
more and more of your ambitions and
correspondingly less of me. That is
why I say 1 can’t marry you.”
She sat dowu opposite him and rest¬
ed her head ou her baud. He rose
quietly aud came round to her side of
the table. He stood beside her, his
big hand resting very gently ou her
brown head.
“Did you ever stop to think why I
fought so hard to rise?" he said.
She shook her head.
“It was because of you,” said he.
“Every ainbitiou, every motive, I owe
to you. If I conquered the world and
laid it at your feet I should still feel
unworthy of you.”
He stood silently looking down nt
her. The wind whistled shrilly aud the
rain beat sharply against the window
panes. She felt the hand on her head
tremble.
“Helen, do you love me as I am?” he
asked.
“Yes,” she said.
“Would you love me if I were penni¬
less?”
She looked up at him with a smile
that transformed her face.
“How I should love you then!" she
said simply.
He caught one of her hands in bis
and fell to laughing softly.
“My ambitions are really of your
making. Do with them as you will,”
said he.
“You mean you won’t go out there?”
she asked.
“I mean I have ceased to worship the
golden calf you mentioned,” said he.
“No man can serve two masters, aud 1
think I make a wise choice In serving
you,” he laughed.
He bent over her and saw there were
tears In her eyes.
“What on earth are you crying for,
Helen?” he asked.
“Well, I have a sneaking sympathy
for the golden calf,” she said, smiling
happily through her tears.
