Cheer Up.
Cheer up. The world is taking
your photograph. Look pleasant
Of course yon have your troubles
—troubles you cannot tell The
policeman. A whole lot of things
bother yon. Of course. Bust 1
ness worries or domestic sorrows,
it may be, or what not. You
find life a rugged road whose
stones have hurt your feet. Nev
ertheless—cheer up.
It may be yonr heal disease is
“selfishness”—ingrown selfish*
ness. Yonr lifo is too seif cen
tered. You imagine your tribu
lations are worse than others
bear. You feel sorry for your
self—the meanest sort of pity.
It is a pathetic illusion. Rid
yonrself of that and—cheer up.
What right have yon to carry
a picture of your woebegone
face and funeral ways about
among yonr fellows who have
tronblesof their own? If you
must whine or sulk or scowl take
a car and go to the woods or to
the unfrequented lanes.
Cheer up. Your ills are large
ly imaginary. If you were real
ly on the brink of bankruptcy,
or if there was no thoroughfare
through your sorrows, you should
clear your brows, sot your teeth
and make the best of it.
Cheer up. You are making a
hypothetical case out of your
troubles and suffering from a
self-inflicted verdict. You are
borrowing trouble and paying a
high rate of interest.
Cheer up. Why. man alive!
In a ten minutes’ walk you may

A NEW FORCE BILL.
The Macon Telegraph, quoting
John‘Sharp Williams, believes
that the negro plnnk in the Re
publican platform has behind it
the aim of a new force bill for the
South. Senator Lodge, tho au
thor of the old force bill, which
lost to the Republican parte the
control of the government, is also
the mao who wrote the negro
plnnk in the recent platform.
Tho old force bill provided for
the appointment of a large num
ber of of supervisorsotelectioup,
and deputy marshals at an ex-
liorbitant salary, all to bo paid
out of the United States treasury
which would have a tendency to
keep tho republican party in
power forever with such patron
age to dispense.
We cannot see haw the plank
to reduce our representatives
could aim at a now force hill, al-
though it involves in its moaning
a bitter insult to the south. The
republican party dosirep, above
alt things, to perpetuate its pow
er; resorting to all kinds of du
plicity and expedients, bnt they
will not soon forget tho crushing
defeat on the heel of their at
tempt Vo throttle the South by
Senator Lodge’s bill.
The negro problem will con
tinually loom up as long as there
are politicians of the Roosevelt
stripe, bat we believe the force
bill to be a thing of the past.-Ex
given to the commander, hut is
believed that sufficient authority
to enable him to put a stop to
Rusiian brigand was given him.
