ELECT DEMOCRATIC SENATORS.
Now' that the election of senator* la
a thing which 1* up to the people we
are given a Mrlklng opportunity to
find out how far the people follow
end how far they approve of the
thlnga that go on In Waahlngton.
Thitnkn to senators, who cull thern
aetves democrat*, Ihla democratic con
greae goes on record aa refuatng to
repeal a ahlp subsidy unconditionally.
The Now York World aaye that thla
senate "la to he remembered aa a
democratic aenate which In order to
preserve a ahlp aubaldy waa willing
to violate h treaty.
"It la to he remembered aa a demo
eratlc aenate which would not wipe
out a ahlp aubaldy except aa It sol
emnly affirmed Its right to subsidize
ahlps hereafter, treaty or no treaty.
"It is to lie remembered aa a demo
cratic senate In which atralght for
ward anti-subsidy legislation waa Im
possible.”
These statements are alt too true.
It is evident that the upper house, de
spite its recent change to a more
democratic basis, la still Representa
tive of special Interests. Thla wllj
continue until the people rise up anu
rebuke thclr senators by replacing
thorn:
W* quote The World further:
'Tho republican law deadheading
our const u iae-shipptng monopoly at
the Manama Canal la to hr repealed
thla week, not as a matter of prlnd
ple Hint not as an expression of na
tional Rood faith, but reluctantly and
grudgingly. with an accompanying res
olution nollfyloß the whole world that
b) ao doing the drmoeratlc aenate
waive* no right to vote hountle* to
favored Internal* even when by treaty
we have Isnmd ourselves not to adopt
*uoh ft policy.”
We can rend the action of the demo
cratic senator* only In the simple
terms of privilege maatcrlna democ
racy. Everybody knows that both
aides of the -eenete have been under
the ineidlou* Influences of special
privilege, which has for so long
reigned supreme In Washington. It
Is scarcely conceivable that the aver
age democrat throughout the country
1* confused or deceived by the sub
tle sophistries of politicians who have
laid Streaa Upon the bugaboo that this
nation would abdicate right* In Pan
ama by abiding by it* pledges to Eng
land. For thla reason w* cherish the
hops that Vardaman and his allies
wilt sat their farewell greetings when
the people agsln voice their convic
tions at the polls.

THE COURT OF INSULT
Intimations to the effect that
Judge Emory Bpeer will be exon
erated by congress can scarcely
surprise those who took the pains
to read tho proceedings of the
court of Inquiry, *o called, which
was In reality a court of public
instill and vituperation.
It became Very evident to alt
who did not permit former preju
dice and antagonism to Judge
Speer to blind them, that the In
vestigation had become an utter
farce. Those who were moat bit
ter and vindictive against Judge
Speer were evidently more out
raged with him because tho law
hml been enforced by him than
for any other reason. The eharge*
were fantastic in their wide scope
and Infinite variety but not one
of them bore the alump of a Just
complaint. Had Judga Speer con
ducted his (Mint more after the
wishes of powerful corporations
and less toward upholding per
sonal and popular rlghta, he w ould
never have been mude to suffer
the Insults hurled at him under the
guise of Investigations.
The crying Injustice of the court
of Investigation lies In tha fact
that the Ohe-alded evidence gath
ered day after after day is of
fered a* interesting reading to the
public, who have tittle or no op
portunity to see and understand
how each charge la met and nn
iwered. The Impression la gained
that the charges are well founded
and long before the sifting and
questioning of evidence takes place
the mind of the public becomes
antagonistically Impressed.
Judge Hpeer will be exonerated
by congress but will the bare
news that congress has found none
of the evidence worth sertoua con
sideration. suffice to remove the
prejudice created by this remark
able procedure?
Enlightened Ideas of Justice can
scarcely feel satisfied with a pro
cess that makes Inquiry and tor
ture on* ami the same thing

THE GEORGIA HOUSE
WITHOUT A LEADER
So Says Estes Doreraua in His
Column in the Atlanta Jour
nal Entitled “Georgia and Her
Politics."
“Cleorgla and Her Politics" Is the title
of a very Interesting column which Mr.
Estes Dorsums. formerly of Augusta,
now of the Atlanta Journal staff runs
In hit paper each day. In a recent arti
cle Mr. Do rent us said that the present
Mouse of Representatives ts without a
recognised leader. He snys that there
ere unite a number of able men In the
lower house, yet not one of them can
claim the prmnl distinction of being the
leader.
Mr lhiremus "covers" the House of
Representatives for the Journal amt tlie
fact that he has such an Important as
signment Is proof sufficient that he has
made good with a rush tn Atlanta.
On Sunday morning The Herald will
price a forecast on the doing* of the
next legislature by Mr. Doremus. It ts
very InteresMug and will doubtless he
read Widely throughout the state, it
will be carried troth try The Journal and
Tho Herald.
The Ground For Suspicions
(Now York Post.)
The Honest Ballot Association has
requested the district attorneys of all
the counties tn the state to direct the
respective county boards of elections
to preherve the ballot* cast in the
apeelal eleettou of April 7th, this re
quest should be granted as a matter
of course In any county In which it
Is not. It will be In the power of the
election boards to destroy the ballots
at any time after June 6 To permit
thl* in the face of a notice of Inten
tion to investigate on the part of a
non-partisan body whose only interest
In the matter is to maintain the pur
ity of our elections would be as of
fense against the first principles of
honesty as well as of good govern
ment. The revelation of gross frauds
In tbls city, which has resulted in a
number of indictments of election of
ficials, shows how substantial is the
ground for ausplclon a* to the elec
tion generally. No district attorney
with any regard for hi* future repu
tation can afford to refuse to do »h*t
the Honest Ba lot Association asks.

THE SANDMAN STORY
FOR TONIGHT
By MRS. F. A. WALKER.
TIM AND TED.
Tim and Ted were black kittens,
and they were fast growing to be big
kittens, too.
They were so near alike that you
could only tell them apart when >qu
looked at their feet. Ted had one
white paw, while Tim was all black
—not a hit of white on his little body.
Now Tim and Ted were growing to
be very bad kittens, and some times
Tallis gi
ON THE TOP OF THE FENCE
they caught a bird and ate It.
*'l think we could catch more birds,''
said Tim, “if there were not two of
us; one of us Is always sure to be
seen.
“Now, I have a scheme that I am
sure will help us. We must wot be
seen together, and then the birds will
think there Is only one cat.
“You go to sleep on the top of the
fence, where you can be plainly seen
and I will hide behind a bush, and
when the birds see you nsleep they
will fly dow n to the ground and I can
catch them."
Ted agreed to this If Tim would
promise to sleep as long as he did.
Tim promised he would, and the
next morning Ted took his place on
tap of the fence and went to sleep.
Pretty soon the birds saw Tod. and
after looking about for Tim and not
finding him they flew down to the
ground. Out darted Tim and caught
one of the poor little birds and car
ried It Into the bushes.
Away flew the others Into a tree,
where they could see Ted on the
fence. Then they knew what had
happened.
“We will pay him off tomorrow,”
said one bird. "He will sleep on the
fence and his brother will watch to
cstch us, and I think that will be the
last time they will try that trick."
Tim waited until he was tired, and,
being satisfied that the birds would
not fly down again that day, he
awakened Ted.
The next morning Tim took his
place on the fence and Ted hid behind
the bush, but not a bird earne down.
He could see them In the tree, but
they did not seem hungry that morn
ing. although there were crumbs on
the ground.
After a while the birds flew out of
the tree and circled around right over
where Tim was sleeping on the fence,
and then suddenly they all descend
ed upon the sleeping Tim.
They picked at his back and hie
head, being careful not to gat near
hla mouth, and when tha surprised
Tim opened hla ayes they tried to
pick them out. Tim closed his e>es
and tried to get down from the fence,
but he could not see his way, so be
By Tad
me-owed as loudly as he could for
help.
Ted ran out from his hiding place,
and when he saw the birds around
Tim he thought Tim had .played a
trick on him.
“I went to sleep for you and let
you catch them,” he said, “and now
you don’t give me a chance at all.”
“Help! Help!" me-ow-ed poor Tim;
“can't you see they are trying to kill
me," he called to Ted.
“Why don’t you catch them,” call
ed Ted thinking Tim must be cracked
to let the brds fly around hm and
not get one.
Ted ran up the fence, and when the
birds saw him they flew at ‘him just
as he reached the top of the fence
and was holding on with his front
paws.
Ted closed his eyes and dropped to
the ground me-ow-ing as he ran for
shelter. When the birds flew at Ted,
Tint opened his eyes, and finding he
was free, he jumped and ran.
Both kittens ran under the steps
trembling and looking as frightenea
as kittens can.
“I thought birds were afraid of kit
tens.” said Tim after a while.
“I did, too,” said Ted; “but I guess
| they are only afraid of big cats. I
| think the sparrows were the ones
i that picked the hardest, and I am go
ing to eat a lot and go to bed early,
so I can grew big quick, and then I
will show these sparrows they cannot
play tricks on me.”
"I am going to eat and go to bed
early, too," said Tim. "Maybe IT we
go to sleep now we'll make up big.
"All right," said Ted, settling down
for a nap. “Let's try It.”

Has Many Applications
(Hartford Courant.l
President Wilson's notion that the
present business depression is "mere
ly psychological” has many applica
tions. A man goes Into his garden
and finds that stray hens have
scratched up bis tomato plants; it Is
merely psychological. A man goes
into a dark room and while looking
for the matches bumps his knee
against a chair; It Is merely psycholo
gical. A man goes In swimming and
some tramp steals his clothes; it Is
merely psychological. A man goes to
church thinking that he has a dollar
in his pocket for the contribution
plate, but when the moment arrives
rinds that be hasn't a cent; It is
merely psychological. This would be
a funny world If it were not psycholo
gical. Everything might happen and
nobody would know it.
