Let no one despair of the future of the negro. The records of Fulton county show that he applies for divorce just as often as his white friend, according to the Atlanta Journal, sl - Editors, in common with all humaunity, appreciate having a rose occassionally dropped in their pathway to blunt the sharp points of the many thorns over which the life of the average editor leads him. i el i A despatch informs us that ‘‘Japan has altered her original plans in Manchuria,” As no one has the faintest idea what her ‘‘original plans” were, we can’t see that this infermation is of any particular use to ordinary mortals. ; R The Chatanooga Times, in an anti, Hearst articles, says ‘‘the American peo ple ha\e a vital interest in the unsullied character of their chief magistracy.” The Times should pinch itself and wake. Mr. Hearst's bitterest opponernts have searched in vain for a word to say against his pri vate characte-, | REPUBLICAN ADMINILIS TRATION AND THE TRUSTS Although President Roosevelt has made more than one grand-stand play in pre tended opposition to the trusts, he has surrendered his administration to the trust interest by acquiescing in the appointment of Attorney General Knox, at the dictation of a caucus of trust magnates, to the un expired term of the late United States Senator Quay, of Pennsylvania. Attorney (seneral Knox had been mak ing some pretense at prosecuting the trusts—more pretense than practice, how ever—and now the trust interest gets rid of him in the office of Attorney General by having him transferred to the Senate, where he can be more readily managed and will be less harmful to them in the prosecution of their plans. And the prompt acquiescence of President Roose velt in the selection of Knox te succeed Quay indicates the real attitude of the present administration toward unlawful combinations. The transsfer of Knrox from the cabine*. to the Senate, at the demand of the lead ing trust representatives, affords the Democrats an opportunity to make a strong arraignment of the Republican party in the campaign this year for pro tecting the trusts, —Albany Herald. DON'T BE A GROUCH. We love the man who can lose an election and not get mad about it. We like to se a man who can smile in the face of Misfortuna and wink at despair. We glory in the spunk that snatches a song from the wreck of a tumbling air cas tle, There is always hope for the cheerful love Faith isthe mainstring of his exis tance. Hope is his daily bread, and Charity is the key-note of his character! And the greatest of these is Charity, The man who spills lis milk and then goes grunting, growling and grieving about it is a nuisance, a misfit social fac tor and wart on the face of humanity. He a grouch! Good Lord, deliver us from the grouch and the sorehead! But the man who spills his milk and then views the situation calmly and phil osopher! What of him? Why our hearts warm right up to him and we are real sorry he spilled his milk, and we hope he will soon get another pail-full and go on his way rejoicing. And he will get it—you watch him, He always gets it. And pretty soon he comes up the road again and passes the grouch who is stillnursing his grievance. Don’t be a grouch Be sunny. The primary is over, the ballots have been cast, and the choice of the people has been expressed. Now let us all for et the past and look out for the future, The primary has been a clean one so far as we know, Let neighbors still be neighbors, and friends still be friends Shiriffs Sale.
