TO AN OLD COAT.
Old coat, for somo throe or four seasons
We’vo boon jolly comrades; but now
Wo part, old companion, forovor;
To fate and tho fnalilons I bows .
You’d look woll enough at a dinner,
I’d wonr you with prldo at a bnll,
But I’m dressing tonight for a wedding—
My own—and you’d not do at all.
You ’vo too many wlno-stains about you,
You’re scented too much with cigarsj
When the gaslight shines full on your
collar
It glitters with myriad stars)—
That wouldn’t look woll nt my wedding;
They’ll seem inappropriate there—
Nell doesn’t uro diamond powder;
She tells mo it ruins tho hair.
You’ve rosted oil highly oiled stnirwnys,
Too often when sweet eyes were bright,
And somebody’s bnll dress—not Nol-
lio’s—
Flowed ’round you in rivers of white.
There’s a reprobate loosonoss about
you;—
Should I wear you tonight I believe, 1
As I como with my bride from tho altar,
You’d laugh in your wicked old sleeve
When you felt there tho tremulous pres
sure
Of her hand in her dolicnte glovo,
That is tolling mo shyly, but proudly,'
Her trust is as deep as her love.
So go to your grave in tho wardrobe,
And furnish a feast for the moth;
Noll’s glove shall betray its swoot secrets
To younger, more innocent cloth;
’Tis time to put on your successor—
It’s made in a fashion that’s now;
Old coat, I’m afraid it will never
Sit as easy on mo as you.
—George A. Bakor, jr,
THE NATIONAL ELECTION.
Atlanta Journal.
In the full tide of defeat tho Demo
cratic party well may take courage from
the truth that the reactions of irritable
movements are not usually tho verdicts
of history. If the party had gone down
under a record of idle stewardship and'
broken faith, then would its leaders and
itB rank and file liavo cause indeed to
lament. But tho fact is that its reverse
has come upon a record of duty magnifi
cently done, and of faith unfalteringly
kept.
During tho last seven years it has
brought to pass more constructive re
form, more serviceable legislation, and,
as far a# Government can affect sucli
matters, more progress and prosperity
than the two preceding decades had wit
nessed. Entrusted with power upon
pledges to do certain things which tho
nation’s best thought considered needful,
tho Democratic Administration did them J
diligently and fully, dosplto a harrying
Republican minority. Tho Banking and
Currency Act, which prevented financial
dlsnstor; tho building of a morohnnt ma
rine, which opens a now era of foreign
trado; tho institution of epoch-making
aid 1 to agriculture and education; tho
writing of a now charter of freedom for
millions of toilers; tho uprooting of vest
ed Wrongs in business and politics; tho
strengthening of tho forces that make
for sound prosperity; tho lifting-up of
standards Hint mnko for Iranian better
ment—all this, and more, stand indelibly
to tho credit of tho Democratic party,
Moreover, it was under this smile
party’s leadership that America fought;
and won her grant war, Both tho mili
tary and moral crisis of Hint heroic
drama arc unexampled ill tho annals of
our international affairs. Guidance less
wise or less righteous might easily have
led to disaster and disgrace. But tho
record is that wo kept out of tho con
flict as long as honor allowed, entered
it with no shadow of unworthy nmbl-
tion, waged it with an efficiency that
brought the enemy to torms a full twelve
months oarilor tlinn was hoped; and then
in tile counsels which ensued gnvo our
Government's voice and influence wholly
to the interests of a just, a roeoneiling,
a proad-visionod and enduring peace,
It was not n party’s win—nlhelt Repub
lican corpora have talked ns though it
were;—it was a nation’s war, and tho
patriotism that spoilt itself so gloriously
for-victory know no political lines. Never
theless, tlio chiof burdens of responsibil
ity wore upon the party in power. And
hiBtory will not fail to givo that Admin
istration 'anil its supporters a placo bo-
Side| the noblest o/fiiicvomcnts of the
ages.
With unruffled confidence, therefore,
we* mny look to tho future—and to a
tore probably not remote—for vindi-
jibn of the loadorship and tho prln-
les that stand for tho prosont rejected.
Goy. Cox fought out tho issues with a
couBistoncy and com ago of which his
paTty woll may ho proud. Not onco did
ho fear to say What ho thought and
purposed in hiB heart. Not onco did ho
turn his back upon principle for more
opportunism. Thnt he labored under
heavy handicaps wits evident from tho
beginning. The impulso of tho hour wiib
for political clrango, regardless of rec
ords and prospects—no Impulso which
was not rally nation-wide, but world-wide,
the votoran Olomonceau himself falling
boforo its bliiBt. It is now unquestiona
bly plain, moreover, thnt delicate Ibbuos
involving our international relations
should not have been thrust into a po
litical campaign, if by any munnor of
ary channels. Tho Journal, ns a firm
boliovor In tho principle of tho Longue
of Nations, protested against dragging
its issues into a linbol of partisan null
racial animosities. President Wilson,
wise trad Intrepid champion its ho al
most invariably 1ms proved, erred when
lie proposed that method of settling the
question, for the opposition party wished
no richer opportunity to befog and be
little a great ideal.
FARMER’S WIFE REPLIES TO LAW
YER’S CRITICISM.
In a recent issue of tho Atlanta Con
stitution Col. .1, 0. Adams, a well-known
lawyer of Gainesville, had an article
criticizing farmers for their extrava
gance in tho matter uf automobiles,
higher living, and general shiftlessnoBS.
This draw from a farmer's wife the fol
lowing slinrp retort, which was also
printed in Tho Constitution—
"J. 0. Adams, of Gainesville, says tho
avorngo farmer 1ms spoilt pll for automo
biles, gasoline,-silk - shirts! picture shows,
etc. Tho question I want to ask Mr.
Adams is, hasn’t the farmer just as
much right to roeolvo enough for Ills
products to onablo him to own an au
tomobile, Mh wife and daughters to wonr
silk skirts, and go to picture shows, ns the
lawyer, tho merchant, tho doctor or any
other profession that ono may follow!
I imagine Mr. Adams is an up-to-date
lawyer; that ho possesses an nutomobllo,
his wlfo and daughters dross woll and go
to picture shows. If there is a class
of pooplo that really need a car it is
tho farmer and his family.
“I have livod on a farm from infancy
and I think I am in a position to know
how fnrmora and tholr familloB liavo to
work and economize to bo nblo to moot
expenses, and I understand tho renting
class and know ttioir neeossitios.
“Tlioy riBO boforo dnyllght anil work

who aro always scowling at tho extrava
gance of tho fiirmor and Mb family ever
worked a day of real hard labor nil a

country and try farming twolver months,
and tlioy will know bettor how to eriti-
cizo farming conditions.

“I am sure I do not know,” retorted
Ids wife coldly, still showing Bigns of

“You ought to,” snorted tho man.
“I can't keep a tiling about this house.
It’s a slintno then way things disnpponr

“So would I,” replied tho lady mean
