The c< :n try \>rethren Are having good time in politics. In other Elates it is true as it is in Georgia, riiev nave candidates enough to maxe the phase of things interes ting. 1 see there have been no Inew annuimu men's•lor governor In Georgia v> i le 1 owe been away, lr rather slime I announced my- feeit ex-CP no. ■ ::,»ers w state Georgia ournal oi np A; aeon Itho Geoi 0 , almo-t fcm upon 2' [he Atlant i.iution o li lire k u [Jit »rt nth/ i read or I go. l town I ho gets he Con- legraph nalr Morning News, he three candidates now running [or governor are all on the stump porizing and agitating as they making their declaratory, in- ammatcrj 7 speeches.

Atkin- P on ls no mean speaker himself. /ally, his speeches read better than Berner’s. He says some f 8a l good things, but he doesn’t 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.

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!
