t j of Floyd county, a member-elect of the
incoming legislature, believes that pro-
•

t
gressiveness In
| this country just
i now la entering
I Its safest and
1 sam st era.
He believes that
more men now
adays realize the
importance of atl-
Juatlng both the
national and state
schemes of gov
e r n m <.■ n t more
snugly to the peo
| pie's win and de
! sires, and of mak
ing both more
readily responsive
to popular opin
ion.
"The people
may go off half-cocked now and then,”
said Mr. Wright, who Ip In Atlanta to-
I day, "but in the long run they arc fair,
square, just and anxious to have a sys
tem of government which vouchsafes
equal rights to ail and special favors to
none!
'There arc many progressive poli
cies. tried out and found more than
well worth while in other states, that
have not yet been adopted in Georgia.
I have in mind some of these, and it is
my intention to submit one or two,
anyway, to the next legislature, with
an eye to having them considered by
that body and enacted into.law, if they
seem to appeal.
"I believe that both Die Democratic
and Republican parties are so thor
oughly impressed with the spirit of
genuine progressiveness nowadays that
th. public mind everywhere Is prepared
for rational moves along the line of
legislative advancement - I believe that
a man may favor many things now, and
will be commended for it, that ten, or
even live, years ago would have caused
him to be held in some quarters as
wild-eyed and fanatical.
“I think the national Democracy, un-
I dec Wilson, will be truly progressive—
and if it isn’t, it will be required to shut
up shop and quit business for many
years to come. I believe the state gov
ernment should be, within its peculiar
limitations, as truly progressive as the
national and it is to the end of making
it so that 1 shall address njyself, with
such vigor and intelligence as I pos
sess. when the legislature convenes in
June.”
Mr. Wright did not say what pro
gressive ideas he expects to champion
in the next house, but whatever they
are they will be enthusiastically advo
cated. There is no doubt about that.
Says The Albany Herald:
The chief of police of Rome seized
several hundred pints of whisky
and emptied it into a sewer. Tmag
, ine such a proceeding as that in—
well, let us say Savannah; she can
stand it.
The Herald does not seem to care a
hoot how heavy the strain it puts upon
people's imaginations’
The one very best bet as to the forth
coming distribution of Federal patron
age in Georgia is that former Repre
sentative Hooper Alexander, of DeKalb
county, is to be the next United States
district attorney for north Georgia,
This place is said to have been prom
ised definitely to Mr. Alexander, many
weeks in advance of Wilson’s election
to the presidency, and was made con
tingent only upon such election.
Since the election, Mr. Alexander
himself, as well as some of his
friends, has received assurance that
the promise goes, and that Alexander
surely shall have the plum.
The position is now held by former
Congressman Carter Tate, who was ap
pointed thereto by President Roosevelt,
immediately after his defeat for re
election to the national house by Thom
as M. Bell, the present congressman for
the Ninth district.

Dear Sidelights:
I read your column every day,
and often think you surely must be

Atlanta, Ga.
Sidelights' correspondent is quite
right—even If ye editor also is "put to

Intends this epistle as a boost or a
knock!
General William G. Obear, while by
no means relishing the idea of giving
up his present position of adjutant gen
eral of the state of Georgia, is duly
appreciative of Colonel Joseph Van-
Holt Nash as an officer and a gentle
man. and speaks in the very highest
terms of bls suceessur-to-be.
Discussing tlie impending change in !
I the adjutant general's office today, ;
| General Obear said:
"If I am to be succeeded by some- i
body. I can hardly think of any one I
more to my liking than ’Joe’ Nash. He
Is a tine fellow, and my relations with
him invariably have been pleasant.
Moreover, he is enthusiastic in his mil
itary relations, and has served the na- •
tlonal guard long and well. There are |
a lot of people I might name whose ap- I
pointment to succeed me I would relish I
far less than the appointment of
'Joe.' ”
General Obear lias not intimated
what lie will do with respect to the
tender of the quartermaster general
ship—his old office—but his friends are
hoping he will accept, and remain in
the service.
Game Warden Jesse Mercer has set
for himself a mighty task. If he gets
away with it, he will be a wondt ■ the
eighth of the world, indeed!
He is undertaking diligently to make
hunters truthful with respect to their
prowess in the fields and the woods—he
has issued an edict that sportsmen
must tell the real fact, without trim
mings or explanations, as to what they
slaughter, and when, and how. If a
nlmrod wabbles ever so slightly from
the strait and narrow path of veracity.
Mercer’s wrath descends upon him
forthwith and at once—he says it is
necessary to make hunters tell the
truth, in order to enforce the well
known game laws of Georgia.
By and by, perhaps. Mercer will un
dertake to make fish liars behave and
speak the truth, the whole truth and
nothing but the truth, such Is the
amazing courage—or vanity—or what
ever it is, of the man!
Mr. Mercer seems to have no com
punctions whatever when it comes to
rushing in where angels fear to tread!
Congressman Gordon Lee passed
through Atlanta today on his way to
Newnan, where he and Mrs. Lee will
spend the remainder of the holidays
with relatives.
Mr. Lee thinks an extra session of
congress will be called about March 15,
and that the tariff will be revised
promptly. He believes a new tariff law
will be enacted by June 1.
