POLITICS AND PATRIOTISM.
President Wileon has many times
demonstrated hla Influence with con
gress. but we do not look at the
atrength In the houae which developed
for the President's side of the debate
about tba repeal bill as an Indication
of the President's "domination of con
gress'' so much as a reflection of the
strong sentiment of the American peo
ple. With Speaker Clark and Floor
leader Underwood making a desperate
1 atand o the teal vote the ITealdent *
j aide won overwhelmingly.
We ascribe this more to the Condi*
lion of (While rentltnent than In any
personal influence. Mr. Clark and Mr,
Underwood undoohtedly appear to he
actuated by persot al ambition In their
fight against repeal.
Thia contest has .teemed for a long
lime the final teat of Wllahntsm and
three two aspirants for future (adllhal
chance* have I-cen |>graugded to try
their etrength agalnat Ida and ally
themselves with the power* that are
striving for the ship subsidy.
The Now York llerald put* It flatly:
“I* President Wilson either an Igno
ramus or a liar? No aane person In
the United Stales helleve* him to he
the one thins or the other, and yet
those members of congress who re
fuse to support him in hi* advocacy of
rrpaal of “free lolls" must either ques
tion the President's Intelligence nr hla
veracity, or stand themselves confess
ed a persons entertaining no regard
for the Nation's honor, person* wholly
lacking In even the most elementary
patriotism.”
Reminding lta readers that the Pres
ident ha* told/congress In words of
solemn significance that unless this
"free-tolls" provision I* repealed the
Internail,>nnl relations of the United
Slate* will lie aerloualy Jeopardized ItJ
making thla statement Mr. Wilson waa
not speaking aa an Individual nr aa
parltaan or party leader; he waa
speaking as President of the United
Slates concerning matters with which
the President alone has to deal.
lines any man believe President Wil
son > mid make such an appeal to
congress unless fully satisfied of the
truth of what he was saying?
Ikies any man question the Presi
dent’s capacity to get at and under
stand the trot*’’ xxx
The American people entertain no
dnuhta of the President's Intelligence,
hla veracity, his patriotism, They are
liiiund lo entertain serious doubts of
the Intelligence or patriotism, or both,
of any man who refuse* to support the
President In hla plea for national hon
or and national safety.”
I low about this Messrs. Clark and
I'nderwood? Sometimes politics of the
old personal variety do more harm
than good, la It the American people
you are trying to please or certain in
lerest* which have befriended you in
the past and will befriend you In the
future?

“CLEAN UP” WEEK
WHAT THE SCAVENGER DEPARTMENT ASKS.
TO THE HOUKKIIOLDERS OK AUOUBTA:
Aa a part of the Hprlng Gleaning now under way, wouldn’t it be
worth while to buy a new garbage can If your old one is worn out? The
Ordinance# of the Scavenger Department require that all garbage
should he placed In a covered can for rom >val. The Ordinance ha*
not been rigidly enforced because of the fact that there are many families
In Augusta to whom the purchase of a garbage can would he something
of a hardship, but there are go many cl(teens who could easily do ao but
have not vet compiled with the law that the Hcavenger Department
feel* that It Is not getting Its full share of co-operation from the house
wives of Augusta.
What do von do with your garbage? I)o you put In In a covered can?
Do you ae.- Iliul the cover Is kept on the can? An uncovered garbage
can attracts flies, and we are anxious to have as little as possible Around
our prf*mt«fs to Invlti* attention of thene Intirct |k*hlh Will you not,
a* a ; art of the Spring Gleaning, »ee th»t your garbage Is put out In a
metal can fitted with a lid and that the lid Is kept on?
Just another suggestion along thla line Many of the progressive
cities of the country now require that all garbage should he wrapped In
newspaper and lied up In a bundle before being placed In the garbage
can. Wouldn't It he a step forward In municipal sanitation IT YOU re
quire your servants to wrap your garbage dally before placing It out to'
removal, and In any event see that you have your can In good working
order and keep li’ao. during the summer months.
F.»r your Information, the Ordinance of the Scavenger Department
Is ap r ended hereto:
“GARBAGE VBBHKL Hound tin or galvanized Iron can of four to
forty gallons capacity with tlght-flttlng metal cover, with handles on

Oroalar, the bricklayer, whom hla
comrades called "Halty." because op
hla everlasting thirst, loved all places
where drinks were dispensed, hut In
every quarter of Paris there were cer
tain cases which he preferred. In whlcn
he fell perfectly at home and In which
the effect* of the numerous drinks
seemed gentler the next morning.
The little workingman's barroom,
"The Appetiser,” near Pont dc Orcnellc,
was one of these places, where he al
ways settled down for a long ri-st when
he happened to he In the neighborhood.
Tonight his fnce beamed with pleas
ant anticipations when he pushed open
the glass doors. The dark, cold, dirty
water of the Heine, which he had been
Muring at ns he passed the bridge,
made the brass-covered bar with Its
array of bottles of all sizes nnd shapes
look even more Inviting.
Orosier walked up to the bar, shook
hands with the proprietor and ordered
a small "blue" ua a starter, whereupon
he sat down In a corner at one of the
little tables. Here ho ordered a second
“blue" and drew a breath of relief.
Yes. this was a cozy nnd homelike
place. It was warm, cheerful and
pleasant here nnd such a beautiful
fragrance of alcohol and tobacco per
meated the atmosphere.
The second "blue" was followed by
a vermouth, then a hitter nnd another
"blue" with a drop of grenadine. Gros

cigarette and was now slowly supping

In his cup of Joy. It was rather tire
some to be alone. Ho was a sociable
fellow and loved to drink In the com
pany of n friend, because one can
drink more and feel better.
He was In luck tonight. A working
man came In.
"Bazar.” roared G.roslar and Jumped
from his chair, but hla legs were ns
longer quite steady. Bazar, whose
real name, by the way, whs Bejard,
gripped his hand and forced him down
on hla chair and ant down next to him.
Grosier quickly emptied his glass.
"So you are still at it, Halty! Do you
still stick to small “blues" aa a start
er?”
“You bet your life, B(<zar. There Is
not a happier man In the world than
I am. Imagine that It Is four years
since we two last met.”
"It Is renlly four years? I remem
ber it whs nt I’uteaux. And what la
your good news?”
"News? Nothing, except that I was
divorced two years ago, nnd that la
hardly news to me, hut I tell you R
feels Jolly fine to he your own boss. I
am only fit for single harness.”
“Well, to me Just the opposite thing
has happened. I am mhrrted now, bid
Baity."
Groslar Jumped up.
"Tho devil you ure. You. the Jolll
est of all good follows! I can hardly
believe It. And when did It happen?”
"About two weeks ago.”
“Look out,” sighed Groslar, "look
out. You have walked Into the trap.
You have no idea what Is before
you.”
He bad grown very serious nnd tnrjf
a long draught to emphasize his pltr,
but the other shrugged Ills shoulders.
"Dry up!” he said. “You don't know
the woman you are talking about. She
‘Do you drink?’" and when ! told him
I did hut not to excess, he snapped
out. ‘We don't need you. for we can
get plenty of men that don't We
can't trust any one In this Job that
drinks whiskey, and you've had some
this morning.' Yes. indeed. Rill, as
Vie said before, whiskey Is sure a
great little booster for any one The
trouble Is. though. Rill, It always
boosts you toward the DOOR.”
When Rill had paid the room rent
and the laundry, his original 312 look
ed pretty sick, but he told Jim. "We
can make It go all right, old man.
and when you do laud another job
GET READY
Is gentle and fair, cook a like an angel
and never raise* her voice. If I were
to ssy an angry word to her, sh# would
creep into s mousehole."
Groslar shook hla heed doubtlngly.
"That 1* Just what I thought, too.
Him was gentle and pretty and neat
and all the rest, hut, mon Dleu, what
didn't I have to go through with her.
I went to tell you something—except
when she was sick, 1 never hsd a
rhance to enjoy a glass or two on
Saturday night. She railed for me Just
aa the fun ws* about to begin every
blessed time. Carried me off bodily.
I had to go with her nnd If I did noi
do It, didn't she have It In for me!
You ought to have seen how she treat*
ed me. Not a word would she say,
nothing was ready, no dinner, she
turned her hack to me. I shudder when
I think of those days.”
"Well, It Is a man'a own fault .when
In- allows a woman to treat him like
that. It would never happen to me,
I tell you. I would simply slap her
face the first time she tried and that
would be the end of It.
"The Idea of being nfrajd of nwom
an. Women are made to do only what
we tell them and wa't on us. Two
more absinthes, waiter!"
Groslar looked nt tho clock.
"Eight o'clock." he sighed, "that Is
Just the time when she used to call
for me. On the stroke of eight she
would enter through that door.”
He stared at the door, which opened.
"Good Heavens, Henrlette!" he
gasped nnd turned pale.
A pretty, fair haired, slender woman
entered, threw a look of disgust at the
bar and suddenly caught sight of the
two men. Hhe blushed, hesitated a
moment nnd went up to the table.
Groslar. who was now quite drunk,
kept In staring at her. He didn’t under
stand what was happening to him
Had he perhaps only dreamed that he
was divorced? Was he to go through
the same tortures again? He moved
uneasily on his chair.
"It is not very late yet, dear," he
stnmmered. "I happened to meet an
old friend and Just dropped In here.
That Is my wife,” he said to Bazar.
Bazar, who was more sober, burst
out: "What do you say? Your wife?
She Is my wife.”
Suddenly he burst out laughing.
"Well that beats everything. So she
Is your old woman, or used to be. I
did not know that. I always called
you “Salty.” Shake hands like oil
friends, why don't you? Let us have
a glass together.”
His wife cut him short pretending
not to see Groslar at all.
"Are you coming." she nsked firm
ly. “Haven't you had enough? I have
no use for drunkards."
Bazar was shocked. How did she
dare to speak to him like that? But
she looked at him calmly with her
steady blue eyes and tamed him. He
saw his comrade shudder and he
thought of their conversation. He felt
cold all over and stood up.
"Take him along when he Is your
husband,” he said to his wife in a
rather thick voice, and pointed to the
terrified Groslar. "Never mind me. I
am going to stay right here.”
He walked to the other end of ths
room as steadily as he could, sat
down at the farthest table and ordered
another "blue.”
we’ll have so muen money we won’t
know where to put it.”
The next day when Bill got home
he found a letter from Emily telling
him that she had always wanted to
see New York, and that she and her
mother were coming to visit some
friends there and for Bill to be sure
and come to see her. She gave an
address that was in a very swell
neighborhood uptown and Bill thought
"Gee! I'd look swell going up there in
these clothes, and they're all I’ve got,
too." H. C.
