said Air. WrigiH. who is in Atlanta to
day, "but in the long run they are fair,

“There are inan.C progressive poli

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 the Deiuocratie
and Republican parties are so thor
oughly iaiiH’esseil with the spirit of
genuine progressiveness nowadays that
the public mind everywhere is prepared
for rational moves along the line of
legislative advancement—l believe that ’
a man may favor many things now;, tpitl
will be commended for it, that ten, or
even live, years ago would have caused
him to be held in some quartet’s as
wild-eyed and fanatical.
“I think the national Democracy, un
der Wilson, will be truly progressive—
and if it isn't, it will be required, to siiut
up shop and quit business , for many
years to come. I believe the slate gov
ernment should be, within its peculiar
limitations, as truly progressive as the
national—ami it is to the end of making
it so that I shall address myself, with
sue)) vigor and intelligence as I pos
sess, when tlie legislature convenes in
June.” ■
' Mr. Wright did not, say what pro
gressive ideas he expects to champion
in the next house, but whatevi . they
are they will be enthusiastically advo
cated. There is no doubt about that.
Says The Albany Herald:
Tito chief of police of Rome seized

ine such a proceeding as that in—

The Herald does not seem to care a

The one very best bet as to the forth
coming distribution of Federal patron

tion:
Dear Sidelights:
1 read your column every day,
and often think you surely must be
put to it to 1111 It up. Cordially.
Atlanta, Ga.
Sidelights' correspondent is quite
right—even if ye editor also Is “put to

intends this epistle as a boost or a
knoi'k! •
General William G. Obear, while by
no means relishing the idea of giving
up his* pre si tit position of adjutant gen
eral ol the state of Georgia, is duly
tippri : i .ti\i of Colonel Joseph Van-
Holt Nasii as an officer and a gentle
man. and speaks in the very highest
tei ins of his successor-to-be.
Dis lissing the impending change in
the adjutant general’s office - today,
General < tbear said:
"If I am to be succeeded by some
body. I can hardly think’of any one
more to my liking than •Joe’-Nash. He
is n fine fellow, and my relations with
him invariably have been- pleasant, j
Moreover, he is enthusiastic in his mil- I
itary* relations, and has served the na- I
tional guard long and well. There are I
;t lot of people I might name whose ap
pointment to succeed me t would relish
fur less than the appointment of j
■Joe.'”
General Obear has not intimated I
vyli.it he will do with respect to the [
tender of the quartermtfister general
ship—his old office—but Jlfk 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 wonder—the
eighth of the world, indeed!
He is undertaking diligently to make
hunters truthful with respect to their
prowess in tile fields and the woods—he
has issued an edict sportsmen
must tell the real fact, without trim
mings or explanations, as to what they
slaughter, and when, and how. If a
niinrod wabbles ever so slightly from
the strait and narrow path of veracity,
Mercers wrath descends upon h-ipt
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
punctious whatever when It comes to
rushing in where angels fear to tread!
C'ongressman 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.
