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 his brother senator to one of decided ly secondary Importance to Ihe ques tion of who shall tie governor. Are we prepared to accept a ready made governor out of the political lb,. Ml •• ? I i i ||| ii!i!ii|][|, • jror I St I CHAPTER EIGHTEEN.

AUGUSTA, GA. THE POLITICAL POT BEGINS TO BOIL South Georgia Want* a Governor.

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 wiped out utterly in so far a* the i major offices are concerned It Ih believed, ami no doubt corectly, that I Senator Smith's work and Influence j went far to put Atlanta In the region i 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. Give ’Em H—II, Hutchens Tried to Start a Joe Brown Boom. (Savannah Press.) Rufe. better known as Oive-'Em- 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 ish performance in the meeting of the state executive committee In Atlanta i Saturday? He scaled the heights of nsslnnlmlty j when he sought to revive the Under- i wood-Wllson sentiment in Tavor of the former, and by attempting to hold a Joe Brown rally Hutchens certainly must bp an etn harrasament to the gentlemen whom he seeks to support. they could at least get some fresh air Jim said he eouldn't afford it and BUI told him, “Why.

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 ing." EXCHANGE OF COURTESY. The tol l.wing exchange of courtesy wrs recently chronicled In a German 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 recognized." A r qle i f days later appeared the response which, although courteous, had an elusive ; ir. ».. say the least: "The recognized gentleman who pick- I ed up a I town purse in the Blumen- | strnsse requests the loser to call at his, house .t a eonvenient day."—Every- i body's Magazine. nothing of it. hut if he was asked to spend more than fifty cents for a neclaie he would think he eouldn't af ford tt.
