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.

Sidelights' correspondent is quite right—even If ye editor also is "put to it” to know whether his correspondent 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. W.V.V.V.W.W.
