HARDWICK SUPPORTS THE AD
MINISTRATION AGAINST CLARK’S
• LAST-MINUTE ASSAULT
Congressman Hardwick, now a can
diddle far the senate from Georgia,
made one of the strongest speeches
In the houan In defense of the ed
mlqist ration and egulnet the assaults
of Kpeeker Clark anti Floor Leader
Underwood.
Here'* Hardwick's reply to Clark:
I want to M*k the gentleman If
he does not ngullge thiit II we
turn Woodrow Wilson down there
Ik no hope or chance for any other
democrat In thin land? I aak the
cintloftian If he does not realise
lH«l this la a question In which
petty politics cannot be played;
that thie la a <iueetkin that ap
peal* to the American manhood
and every cltiy.cn of thla country
who believed that a nation should
he g« hohurahle In contracta as an
Individual? I aak the gentleman
from Missouri If he does not real
ise what every democrat In thla
country knows, that we must aun
port the administration or he
turned Into the wilderness for
forty year* more?
rlnrk's nnswpr whs cheap ridicule,
unrtlimlflpd snd unworthy of tile
wdnltty <ll*<-u»«ton before the house
and senate. When Clark couldn't an ’
kwot Hardwick he hollered
"Shoo, Fly—don't hod dor roe"
The Moultrie Observer dcctnre*:
“If Hardwick la confronted with
ridicule and the 'ehoo fly don't hod
der me' quotation when he begins to
•■fempalan In Georgia, let those who
nae this weapon he apprised of what
drew It from Speaker Clark,"
FIGHTING TO A FINISH.
When Villa said:
•‘This revolution muat t>e the last in
Mexico, and It muat be thorough and
con cl naive Thla we muat accomplish
bjr force of arms, ao that In the end
there will be no questioning of our or
ders or law A" he showed a very clear
understanding of the situation in Mex
ico and the cauaca underlying the tur
bulent condition of that unfortunate
land. Madero compromised and the
government failed l*eeauee of the
treachery of thoee who accepted
hla clemency ae weakness.
Rows and quick compromises
which have heroine the habit In Mex
ico have left the classes unsettled and
without recognition of any established
policy or principle. Madcro'a revolu
tion was fruitless because President
Dinr. gave up too soon for the domi
nant land owning class to real lie what
Madero s victory at oral for. Huerta.'
arrogant attempt to establish hlmseP
a« the Dictator of Mexico ha* called
for a renewal of Madero'a fight and
Villa makes 11 certain that Its second
winning shall he no uncertain and
misunderstood victory. He wants It
to be a fight to a finiah. He wants
Mexico to know that war means war;
not incessant disorder and permanent
confustoft.
Villa's thorough and conclusive re
volution Is a policy which will leave
a lasting impression, let us hope, upon
ambitious adventurer* who make the
government of Mexico the toy of their
pergonal ambitions if this revolution
la to be conclusive, it will demonstrate
that the people of Mexico will not
stand for usurpation of power and
promotion by assassination.
Self government has rarely been at
tained hy any people except by force
and fighting It cannot be remotely
approached in Mexico until the land
i owning elapses realise the strength nf
the oppressed people.
In letting Mexico fight nut Ha own
fight the government of the United
Htateg has shown the grogtewt poise
and wisdom Recognition of Huerta
would have resulted only tn encourag
ing political adventurers to overturn
the government whenever such an en
terprise gave promise of alluring
power and prominence Armed In
tervention would have had the effect
of checking disorder but not of es
tablishing the rights of the people,
and would only have delayed Mexico's
development, while retarding the po
litical progress of our own country.
The one thing necegggry for Mexico
la to realise heyond a peradventure
of a doubt Which side la licked. Mex
ico can do for herself, what none of
her neighbors can do for her. Presi
dent Wilson's policy of welching and
walling while Mexico settles her own
fight Is hound to he vindicated In time
There le no need to answer criticism of
It, time will do that for ua.
WHO WILL BE GOVERNOR?
Everybody wants to he senator and
the people of Georgia are asked to
pick their governor out of the politi
cal scrap-heap—lake the leavings and
he thankful.
Doe* tt really matter very much who
la the governor of the Empire Mate
of the Mouth? We recall the day when
It did, hut these things change.
It would appear that II Is a matter
of no consequence now. Only those
politicians who renllxe they arc not
strong enough to stand a showing for
the senate are willing to pick up a lit
tle gewgaw like the governorship. The
people of Georgia are supposed to un
derstand by this time that one man la
quite as good as another and any po
litical Jump-up will nerve. Besides,
the term la short anyhow and It Is no
longer the fashion to serve It out If
a more alluring opportunity lurna ”P.
The Herald fears It Is a little old
fashioned. It has a very ytibbed-the
wrong-way feeling about the slights
the political men are putting upon the
governorship. We believe that the
state of Georgia needs able and broad
minded statesmen at home more than
she needs them at the national capi
tal. We think It Is of vital Import
ance who la govert|or and we feel that
the poopte of Georgia should he far
more dreply concerned about their
governor than about their senators.
In Senator Smjth. the etntc Is ahly
snd efficiently represented In Wash
ington. There Is no fear that he will
he dislodged, because he Is a credit to
his slate and has been s pillar of
strength In loyally supporting the
democralc administration. The fact
that our representation In Washington
Is well upheld by Senator Hmlth re
moves the question of who shall he

ly secondary Importance to Ihe ques

“Do you see this rose?” lie asked.
"I'm not blind!" she reiterated.
“How beautiful and perfect It Is!

A tremendous smile fl;ted over her

“Its shade Is the color of your

Last Qeep of the Brown Smith Feud
in Georgia Politics.
(Columbia State.)
Georgia Is going to have some pol
itics this summer In spite of her pa
rifle humor and intentions. The old
Hmlth-Brown faction feud will prob
ably make Its last fight and draw Its
last gasp during the coming dog
days,
A* things have turned out It seems
that Tate and the tide of events has
been running with big Hoke Smith,
and without any purpose on his part
to niuintaln the personal or faction
alignment. It hax come to an issue as
to whether the Hrown faction will he

Senator Smith's work and Influence j

al hank class of cities, and that made
Hoke "solid” for hi* present seat if
there has been any doubt of It be
fore. There remain* to dangle be
fore the eves of the Brown side the
succession to the seat of the late Sen
ator A. O. Bacon, and not only does
South Georgia claim this as her mod
cat share of the jtflbllc patronage, but
the two husky young South Georgia
candidates, who have tossed their
hats Into the ring for the prize are
both former adherents and lieutenants
of Senator Smith. Thomas S. Felder
(not Thomas B. Felder, If you please)
and Thomas W. Hardwick, who were
first to announce for the race, arc
vigorous and able campaigners, both
of the house of Woodrow Wilson, as
well as of Hoke SYnlth, from the out
set of the Schoolmaster's appearance
on the national arena, and they are
not only prepared to shell each other,
hut possibly to turn and Join forces
against a common enemy, as no doubt
Villa and Huerta would Join forces
against the United States if President
Wilson was so ill advised as to mix
up with the Mexican matter.

H —ll, Hutchens, the daredevil cam
paign manager, never overlooks an
opportunity to make an egregious
show of himself.
How else can you classify his dolt

He scaled the heights of nsslnnlmlty j
when he sought to revive the Under- i

a Joe Brown rally
Hutchens certainly must bp an etn

THE TIMID CHILD.
An eccentric city superintendent
| was seated awkwardly s' his office
I desk, his head poked forasrd from his
stoot tng shoulders, hi* elbows dou
bled up. his back bent and his feet
twined dound the side rounds of his
chslr when two women entered,
bringing a 6 year-old youngster for ad
mission to school, relate* Llpplnrott's
Magazine.
"The dear child is so timid, Mr
R," said the grandmother, “We
couldn't think "tT sending him alone.’
'Yes Mr H..“ said the fond aunty
“The boys have been telling him that
you whip little fellows ami he Is so
timid so sny snd sensitive that —"
She was Interrm ted by the timed
'oungster, who had all this time h°eit
attentively studying the superin
tendents doubled up proportions.
"Hay, stand up. will you?" he said
“I want to see how tall you are."
QUICK TRANSFORMATION.
A young minister was Invited to
I ass his vacation at the summer home
of a wealthy member of his congre
gation, sa>s the New York Sun. Tho
little daughter watehed the young
man closely during the visit and one
morning sat down beside him and be
gan to draw on her slate.
"What are you doing?" the min
ister inquired.
"I'm going to draw vour picture,
replied the child.
The young man sat very still, and
the little girl worked away earnestly
Suddenly she stopped and compared
her work with the original.
"I don’t like It very much," she
said. "I guess I'll put a tail on It and
call It a dog.”
WRIGHT IS RIGHT.
Orville Wright at a dinner in his
honor In New York talked about the
fast French monoplanes which no*
make 150 miles an hour, relates the
Detroit Free Press.
“They're very fast, said Mr.
Wright, shaking his head, “but
thev’re —”
“Fast, indeed!” interrupted a young
millionaire. “Mr. Wright, is there
anything on earth those machines
cun t overtake 1 ?"
"Yes,” said Mr. Wright, with a
frown, “there’s one thing they can’t
overtake, and that's their own run
ning expenses."
NOT SO HEAVENLY.
A Sunday school teacher was quiz
zing her class of boys on the strength
of their desire for righteousness, ac
cording to the Delineator.
“All those who wish to go to
heaven,” she said, “please stand.”
All got to their feet but one small
boy.
“Why, Johnny,” exclaimed the
shocked teacher, “do you mean to say
that you don’t want to go to heaven?”
“No, ma'am,” replied Johnny
promptly. “Not if that bunch is go

EXCHANGE OF COURTESY.
The tol l.wing exchange of courtesy

paper’s advertisements:
“The gentleman who found a hrown
purse eontalnlng a sum of money in the
Hlum-ns rasse is requested to forward
jt to tie- address of the loser, as he is

A r qle i f days later appeared the
response which, although courteous, had
