Answer questions with as much
luency as he speaks. I see it re-
^ r ted that Mayor Smith of Ath-
[ ns > a sked him why he did not
es ign. His reply was very delib-
diMy- “My reason is a personal
re ason." He just used the wrong
word. If he had said “My reason
is a perquisite reason,” he would
have covered the whole ground,
and begged the question by saying
he would resign as soon as he be
came a candidate for governor but
now he was only a candidate for
the democratic nomination for
governor. In other words, “As
soon as I get a good grip on the
governorship I will turn loose the
railroad commission job.” That
Mr. Atkinson is a gentleman and
a scholar and a jurist we all con
cede, but not one in ten of us be
lieve that he would have today
been a candidate for governor of
Georgia if Allen D« Candler hadn’t
written that first letter. Gentle
men, that first letter played the
wild. It arrayed every politician
in Georgia more or less against
Allen D. and rounded them up for
Atkinson. But I am glad Allen
D. wrote his first letter and I keep
on being sorry he ever wrote the
second one. My, if he had just
stood up on his hind feet and
popped his fists in the faces of the
politicians of this state and said:
“Gentlemen, I expect that letter
to be the brightest star in my
crown not only when I am occu
pying the governor’s mansion of
the state of Georgia, but you may
make it a part of the epitaph on
my tombstone I ” Wouldn’t Allen
D. have raised sand then? And
we would have had an issue in
Georgia politics today.
But the thing around which the
most curiosity centers is The At
lanta Journal’s attitude toward
the three candidates. Every law
yer, doctor, preacher, farmer, mer
chant. editor, paper in the state
almost has taken sides for or
against some one of the candidates
but-The Journal is as mum as to
its choice and its championship as
if it were published and circulated
in Australia, as far as its editorial
deliverances are concerned. I walk
down to the political barnyard
and there the roosters are crowing,
the hens cackling, the bantams
strutting, the geese squeaking, the
ducks quacking, the pigs rooting,
and one big old Shanghai rooster
with his feathers spread out stand
ing off in a corner looking on
quietly, noiselessly. Is there a
principle involved in this cam
paign as between these three can
didates? The 30,000 subscribers
of your paper want to know from
you is there a principle that one
advocates and another opposes
that would demand the editor of
a great paper like The Journal to
speak oat? Is there nothing in
the personnel of these candidates
or in the political record or phys
ical or intellectual constitution
or by-laws that makes this demand
on the part of your constituency
plausible? Is there no choice, as
you see it, between these candi
dates as candidates? I know The
Journal is a great paper, but I
know it lias an editor. I know
that the editor writes, and writes
his -views every day on current
topics and important events, and
while the noise in the barnyard is
kept up by its heterogeneous occu
pants we want The Journal
rooster to crow, and articulate as
he crows.- Is the difference of
these candidates so little, or is the
whole thing so little that the big
rooster cannot crow without be
littling himself? I tell you, Mr.
Editor, it does amount to some
thing who is governor of Georgia.
The - people have a right to
ask you to say there is nothing in
this campaign, there is no choice
in candidates, no principles in
volved, or else take sides—go to
crowing. The emblem of democ
racy is a rooster, a crowing roos
ter, and not a quiet, noiseless
rooster, eating corn with the little
hickens.
Mr. Candler is for Mr. Candler.
Mr. Atkinson is for Mr. Atkinson.
Mr. Berner is for himself by a big
majority—bigger I fear than the
state will ever give him. Ditto
brother Atkinson. Now, Mr. Edi
tor who are you for? Nobody’s
mad with you because you haven't
taken sides, but they are making
remarks about you, remarks that
your wife wouldn’t like to hear.
Don’t beg the question by telling
us that a great newspaper cannot
be partisan in its editorial col
umns. If you are not partisan in
these days you are not kin to the
balance of your fellowmen. That
is like being a non-partisan pro
hibitionist, which being trans
lated means“simply, “I believe a
little whiskey used for mechanical
purposes tastes mighty good.” If
Candleikand Atkinson will come
down I will vote for Berner, but i
won’t get a chance to vote for Ber
ner. If Candler and Berner will
come down I will vote for Atkin
son. Bu lgl&m for Candler whether
anybody comes down or not. The
people of Georgia recognize Can
dler as the candidate and they are
going to nominate him and elect
him. SAM P. JONES.

“I was troubled with & pain in my
stomach, after meals and a constant ach

benefit. Seeing so many testimonials in

short time when I felt a change. I can
now eat a hearty meal without suffering
distress, my joints are free from pain and
I weigh more than I have for eight years.”

YOUNG WOMANHOOD.
Sweet young- girls I How often they
develop into worn, listless, andhopeless
women because mother has not im
pressed upon them the importance of
attending to physical development.
No woman is exempt from physical
weakness and periodical pain, ^
and young girls just
budding in
to woman
hood should
be guided
physically
as well as
morally. If
you know of
any young
lady who is
sick and
needs moth
erly advice,
ask her to ad
dress Mrs. Pink-
ham at Lynn,
Mass., and tell every detail of
her symptoms, surroundings and occu
pation.
She will get advice from a source
that has no rival in experience of -wo
men's ills. Tell her to keep nothing
back. Her story will be told to a wo
man, not to a man. She need not hesi
tate in stating details that she may
not wish to mention, but which are
essential to a full understanding of her
case, and if she is frank, help is certain
to come!
George Gould was asked the

If the goverment need- mono;-', the

A Truthful Statement.
An excellent and invaluable remedy,
for the cure of cough, cold and hoarse
ness, is Dr. Bull’s Cough Syrup, and
Mr. Jas. Hadfield, 350 West St., New
York City, verifies this statement.
He writes : “Dr. Bull’s Cough Syrup
is a most excellent remedy for cough,
cold and hoarseness, and I take great
pleasure in recommending it to all,
who require such a valuable household
medicine.” Dr. Bull’s iCough Syrup
is sold everywhere for 25 cents.
