A splendid military roadway be tween the Augusta Arsenal and Fort Screven In Savannah, would undoubt edly be a good thing for the develop ment of Augusta and Savannah and we hope that roncreasninn Chtsrb s L. Edwards will be successful In getting bis bill through. It Is a logical military need and there is every reason, so long as gov ernment appropriations are made for conveniences, that they should b# given to the section of the country which has long been deprived of 11h proportionate share of government Improvements. “DEVOTION TO DUTY/* The editor of the North American Review, Colonel George Harvey, com mends the good office of the Vice- President In * urging every man to “kiss his (own) wife once a day as an act of good faith.*’ Colonel Harvey says that the Vice*President may not, as he believes, have presented a solu tion of the divorce problem, but none can deny that he exemplifies devo tion to duty In trust becoming fash ion . This is dangerous talk in these da vs of Inflamed feminism No wife wants to be kissed as a duty and the man who can thus cold heardedly discuss this interesting subject runs grave risks of feminine disapproval—remem ber the Rokeby Venus, Colonel Har vey. It is not so light a matter to Incur feminine displeasure, as once it was COMPARATIVE MORALITY. tV'r cannot help feeling nmuacil yt tha high moral grouml that I*rcaliti<nt Wtlaon'a opponent* take in demanding that he ahnuld feel the aanie degree of righteoua indignation neiitnst Villa that ha haa shown against Huerta.

Hl* misconduct Is perhaps very Brent his way of waging warfare Is doubtless strongly ala Mexico Ills appreciation of the right of human (Teat lines to live and hla reverence of tho right of human creatures to con tinue In possession of the thing* they have gained, may l>e altogether de ficient. It may a)as be granted that his chin remains In the ambush of unshorn whiskers, that hla fingers need mani curing and that the uses and abusea of Turkish and other baths are un . known to him. Yet why should these thing* concern the government of the United States* frocs any one honestly believe that President Wilson Is repudiating Hu erta and In having refused him recog nition as the head of Mexico's gov ernment, was acting in Judgment of the man's personal and moral charac ter* Huerta's career of crime lifted hlfn to the head of the Mexican gov ernment lit* sin* were sins against tha people of hla country He stands for ths success of treachery and cun ning. Hla affronts and offenses have been more than the affronts and of fenses of a mere outlaw, a mere bandit or a n ere barbaric warrior. They have been affronts and offenses again*! nations They stand forth, plainly and glaringly, as offenses and affront* against the wholo community VOTING ON IN EARNEST NOW LIST APPEARS SUNDAY The Great Race Is Just Started—Don’t Get Discouraged. Bear in Mind That You Still Have Over Seven Long Weeks in Which to Make the Baby a Winner—See the Manager of the Shower of Gold at Once and Leafn All Details. The grand Shower of Gold df the Augusta Herald, that mammoth news per undertaking which has for Its pri mary motive the distribution of $2,- 320 In gold and other prizes among the babies of Augusta and vicinity, Is Just beginning. The Shower of Gold has become the •sensation of this entire locality. Ev erybody has become interested In it, whether a ehlld of their town had been entered In the list or not, for every body has omo favorite Jn Babyland and It would be hard Indeed to find fi per son who has not forrned a preference, who has not picked some little cherub whom they hope will win. Wherever one goes one hears nothing hut talk* of this great race and speculation as to its probable outcome, is rife. We predieted at first that everything else would have to give wav before the babies and it lias been even ho. The nomination lists are still open and w© Invite you to name your little favorite for gold and glory If its name is not already included among our hundreds of sweet-faced proteges. Just fill out a nomination blank, which will be found on another page of this paper; or, If it Is convenient, Just write the name, name of parents, and address upon a postal card and rnalh It to the Hhower of Gold Department of the Augusta Herald. The same re sult may be accomplished by calling the Shower of Gold Department over the 'phone, Number 236. © In connection with the nomination blank which appears in these columns we wish to emphasize one point which of nations, but especially against this great republic of the United States which stands very largely in the posi tion of a Wig brother to Its sister re publics to the Houth. / The absurdity of drawing compari sons between Villa and Huerta would not be quite so great, even If Villa occupied the place f’arranza occupies, but Vtlla, as he has repeatedly said, himself. Is only “the fighting man’’ of the constitutionalists forces, whila Uarranza Htands aw their chief and head. HAS US DEAD TO RIGHTS! (Havana, Cuba, Post.)

The Courier*Journal ahould propose noth* inn that will distract bis attention from tho much-needed ch-an-up o£ Mexico. It needs It more thnn any other Latin country. And after Mex ico, there is Haiti . nd Hurt to Pomin- Ko, and (hutynqul. Costa Rica, Panama, and British Honduras apparently need no clean ing. and Haute nut In la an clean hh It could he. under the circumstances. However, when President Cabrera passe* out. there may ba need for the i leaner, Nicaragua haa already had It* lesson, and titer* la no use going south of the Panama canal. But since the cleaning may he forced upon the Wilson administration, why not begin at home? Make New York ao safe that an un armed and unprotected person cun walk the principal Htraeu at night without being black-jacked or sand hngged. Clear the state of Kentucky of night jhh rs; Tennessee of politicAi murders; Colorado of labor rlota; the Texas border of Mexicans and pillag ers or at least give Governor Colquitt a free ha nil end then take a pot-shot at most any other state of the union. After all that Is finished, maybe the Central American states will have had sufficient warning to he good on their own account. REGULAR HERCULEB.

Cook In the senate Is peculiarly admirable In that 'he flies In the face not only of the general Judgment of Intelligent men the world over, but in particular ranges himself In opposition, on this question, to the leader of his party. Col. Roosevelt’s recognition of Peary's achievement, and rejection of the Brooklyn Ynan’s story, must be well known to the sen ator from Washington; and even those who are not progressives would cheer fully admit the colonel’s special quali fications for Judging the m< of a question of exploration. We do not, however, attach any political signifi cance to the episode. The desire to show that the progressives are not a one-man party has taken many curious shapes, but we cannot believe that an asertlon of the authenticity of I>r. Cook’s amusing observations of* lati tude and longitude Is one of them. Mr. Poindexter’s resolution proposes that Dr. Cook bp given the thanks of congress for bis achievement. Con gress, of course, will do nothing of the kind, but there can he no doubt of Mr. Poindexter’s receiving the hearty thanks of Dr. Cook. TWO HEARTS THAT BEAT AS ONE Cion. Villa ami Richard Harding Tla vis are HKrci>d*thnt soldi** - * night In be kept fighting. Villa Is afraid to leave his soldiers Idle fur fear that Satan will find something fur them to do. such iih deserting to the enemy; according he la taking the field. Come to think of it, what mischief could Satan find for Vllla'a Idle hands to do If permanent peace supervened? As for Mr. Davis, he dreads lest our forces will lose their “fighting edge," whatever that is, If thev are kept at sweeping streets, washing elothes. playing baseball and other peace pursuits. Kverybody will sym pathize with an (excellent war cor respondent's natural yearning for something to correspond about. If wo felt eertaljl that peace would reign Indefinitely at Vera Crux we would lie Inclined to send Mr. Davis Into the Interior to trail Villa. They are the sort of combination that makes real reading matter.—St. Louis Post-Dispatch. THE AUGUSTA HERALD. AUGUSTA, GA.
