W HAT DOES IIE MEAN!
It is told of Sargent S. Prentiss that
after he h d made one of his great
speeches one of his friends cried out.
“Die, Prentiss, die.” Some men do
not live long enough, others live too
long.
If Theodore Roosevelt had died ten
years ago, after hesucceeded in making
peace between Russia and Japan or,
if later he had fallen under the paws
of an African lion he would have
taken his place among the American
immortals.
This remark is not intended to carry
any ci post Jnrlo suggestions; but all of
Mr. Roosevelt's friends must see that
he has lost in the esteem of his com
patriots within the last few years. This
decline in popular favor has not been
due to his independent, outspoken ways.
We still love independence, and love
the independent, honest man. Men
may lose partisan followers by inde
pendence, but they do not lose the con
fidence of their fellow-citizens by ex
ercising the right to think for them
selves.
That which men will not honor is in
sincerity. However right a man may
be in his stand on any question, if his
neighbors think he is not actuated by
the highest principles of honesty and
honor they will not give him their con
fidence. It is not the fault of the
American people that Theodore Roose
velt haH dropped from tho level of a
statesman—a plane on which his coun
trymen believed he walked and lived
ten years ago—to the level of a com
mon politician.
There has not bei n a time in many
years w hen the people of this country
had a better opportunity to show their
patriotism than during the trying
years of Mr. Wilson’s administratioi .
Wm. If. Taft, one of the noblest men
even in defeat, has realized this, and
has given tho President his whole
hearted support and sympathy. What
has Mr. Roosevelt done? He has not
neglected a single opportunity to find
fault with the Administration, and all
it haH done. What does he mean by all
this? Is he thinking of running for
the Presidency next year? If so, on
what ticket? In he playing into the
hands of the Democrats or Republicans?
Or does he purpose to resurrect the
Progressive party? Does he wish to
defeat Woodrow Wilson, or does he
wish to insure Mr. Wilson's re-elec
tion?
What does he mean, anyhow? Does
he know himself?
HIS VINDICATION.
Reports from Washington and Berlin
seem to indicate beyond a doubt that
the policy of Mr. Wilson has been suc
cessful, und that the matters in contro
versy between the United States and
'Germany touching the submarine war
fare of the latter will lie adjusted with
out serious friction
Once more and the world never be
fore needed the lesson so much the
wisdom of pacific methods has been vin
dicated.
Suppose such a jingo as Mr. Roose
velt had been in the White House at
this time, what would have happened?
Whether Mr. Roosevelt is a mere blus
terer or a real believer in war or not,
he would have been utterly incapahle
of meeting the issue between the Uni
ted States and Germany, as well as
other international questions, as wisely
as Mr. Wilson has met them.
If one were to take Theodore Roose
velt seriously, and supposing he had
been ut the head of the Government at
this time, one of the probabilities is
that he would have us at war both with
Mexico and Germany, and heaven only
knows how many other nations.
Of course. Mr. Wilson has not been
infallible, and has made some inconse
quential mistakes; but Ins course has
been conservative, wise and patriotic.
He has not wished war. and in this he
has fairly represented the consensus of
the thought and desire of his fellow-
citizens.
It has been at least a year since the
people of the South felt as hopeful as
they do to-day. That the worst is over
we cannot doubt. The new adjustments
of business make this certain. The
abundant foodstulfs raised in this sec
tion the present year cannot fail to
have a most beneficial effect on general
business conditions. The fact that so
little has been bought on credit is an
other helpful factor in the situation;
and we believe that the improvement
will be permanent and far reaching.
The lessons of the war and its experi
ences will give us a real “New South.”
independent, self-sustaining, prosper
ous in town and country, with every
branch of industry better established,
and a period of such progress and pros
perity as we have never known in all
our history.

Fifty-four delegates, representing
nineteen churcheB of the Western Bap
tist Association, met at the First Baptist
church, Newnan, on Tuesday last, for a
two-days’ session. The meeting was
for tho purpose of perfecting an organ
ization to be known as the Sunday-
school Convention of the Western Bap
tist Association, to operate under the
direction of the Baptist Sunday-school
Board, and to be under tho supervision
of local pastors. The main object of
the organization is to promote and per
fect existing Sunday-schools within the
limits of the association, to establish
new schools where needed, and to adopt
such means and measures as will in
crease the interest and efficiency of
Sunday-school work generally. An ex
ecutive board was created, composed of
the following members, viz: Rev.
Graham Forrester, West Point; Rev.
K. W. Stone, Newnan; Dr. J. S. Hard
away, Newnan; Rev. E. C. Smith,
Newnan; Rev. J. W. Perry, Greenville.
Mr. D. W. Boone was elected presi
dent, and Mr. Bryan Blackburn secre
tary and treasurer, both of Newnan.
It was decided to divide the territory
embraced in the limits of tho associa
tion into six districts, each district or
division to be under the supervision of
a vice-president, to be appointed by the
president.. The next convention will be
held ut Hogansville in July, 1910.

Jones, ol Coweta.
Athena Banner. 27th ult,
Hon. Garland Jones, of Newnan, is
n visitor to the city, passing through
Athens on his way from Asheville, N.
C., to his home. Mr. Jones is one of
the State’s best-known citizens, and a
leader of the House in the Georgia Leg
islature. During the stormy session
at the recent closing of the Legislature
Mr. Jones occupied the chair, and at
the most critical moments of the pro
ceedings tie was called upon for rulings
which were being heatedly contested
over many measures up for debate.
His rulings were fair, just, and met the
approval of both the pros, and cons.
He has been a member of the House
for several years, always ranking on
the important committees, and chair
man of several. He is now chairman
of the Ways and Means Committee,
which is the most important in the
House, as this committee is supposed
I to provide in some way for the secur
ing of the finances of the State by
which the machinery can be kept run
ning and operating on schedule time.
Mr. Jones talked interestingly on the
subject of the extra session which the
Governor is soon to call, but he did not
express an opinion as to when he
thought the Governor would call the
members in extra session. That sub
ject is entirely in the hands of Gov.
Harris, and no one but him has any idea
when it will be called.
Mr. Jones is accompanied on his trip
by Mrs. Jones and her parents, Mr.
and Mrs. B. T. Thompson, of Newnan.
