The Now York Times takes this matte) much to heart and expressra the fear that ridicule Inal, furious, and of lona duration will result from thla lnaxcnaa jle hlundel "Wc. the people or the United stales.” aaya The Times, "villi uoi aoon h«wr the last of whsl by foreign critics will be called our welcome to a woman who ranks high among the present producers of English fiction. •'Much more than ahe are we humili ated by the blunder of our represen- Tt la to he hotted that she will eee the humor of the episode ns well as. or brtter than, Ms stupidity, and that aha will not he too inclusive In the manifestation after she gels home, of her well-Justified resentment of the treatment slip received here." “GOVERNOR" AND "SENATOR." Of course, there's a difference be tween being a national figure and the governor of a whole big state. The name of a senator gets tn nil the pa per*. sometimes, even In those printed In foreign languages, while the name of a governor I* sometimes forgotten, even ao near at hand as state after next on the map. At the same times that we compre bend these important considerations w* can’t help feeling rubbed the w rong w»> by finding our governors so willing to desert their office at the chance to get to Washington and bocome—per haps— a "world figure." Pergonal an.bltlou la not a quality to be deeplaed. It spurs many a man onward and tnrtdanialty It often prompts him to do things which are useful and beneficial to hts fellow men. but. somehow, *v*n the moat practical of u.i like to dream that there arc statesmen whose souls are fired by a more divine spark. When the people of this state elec, their governor, they pay a very high honor to the man their votes put into office. When a candidate cornea before the people and seeks thla office. It is not understood that he aska for their support and undertakes the high re sponsibilities of the gubernatorial chat-' pending the arrival of an op portunity which promises greater con ■plcuouaneea and more notoriety for him. We very much question whether even so popular a politician as Jack Hinton oould have made a Sct-away of the governorship If he had declared himself willing to serve the citizens as gov ernor until something more to his taste turned up. Senator Hoke Smith ia a credit to | this state In the senate. Ills brain* j and abjlltlra con.pace favorably with the heat that ar« sent to Washington, yet he threw iielrie the governorship of tleorgtu like a bauble when the chance to gel Inin national pnlttlra came tn him. (Invert!nr Hlaton seems to l>e preparing to do the snipe thing and we prophesy, here and now, lliat lie will find Ihe people of lleorala are KMttns a little too much of thla sort of thing. The question la, are these governor* who drop the duties Mnd responsibili ties wtilrh their friends and political promoters are at such pains to secure f .■ them, "lonllng fair?" We should say that a careful mid unprejudiced examination of Ihe mat ter will bring a regretful "no" from even tha moat partial *nd sympathetic admirers of Governors Hinton and Hmlth. It la quite possible that Governor Rial on may discover that the people of Georgia arellkely to resent a second desertion of the gubernatorial chair to the extent of ib/eatlng him for the senate. In which case he will then he good and keep school, hut how will even the coquetry he has so far dis played affect the prospects for n sec ond term?
