TO THE CREDIT OF THE GEOR
GIAN.
Them sppenrx to ub nt. reiiHon why
Georgia papers should not make free
comment upon the contrast between
Champ Clark's position on the tolls
exemption question ami that of Torn
Hardwick, on: ctlally as comparisons
are suggested by that ridiculous
"shoo-fly" eplaode, of which so much
is being said and of which so little Is
thought.
In tills matter Hardwick showed
the true blue of his democracy. Ho
clearly recognised the destructive
policy upon which the speaker hud
entered and he fully realised that ad
herence to the misbegotten plank In
thn Baltimore platform, which waa
directly in contradiction to the very
foundation principles of the party,
should not blind good democrats to
their duty. He stood oigt and out
for the honor of his country and his
party on t,his Issue and he should be
given the credit lor his loyalty and
good sense. Hardwick's position on
this Issue la Important. It demon
si rato* what sort ot a democrat he la
and we feel assured that the people of
tiaorgiu want bis sort in Washington
That hls position was in highly strik
ing contrast with that of Spanker
Clark la unfortunate for 3i eaker
Cralk, but that Is no reason why we
should avoid seeing the contrast.
There arc some Issues turn esnnot
he understood and appreciated if
praise and amiable acquiescence
must be buttered over it all. The
h'poakcr Clurk was in a false position.
So much the worse. Hardwick was
ir. a true position- Bo much the
better.
Of course, to those who believe In
special privileges from government
and discrimination between taxpayers
these words are without meaning.
Likewise, to those who are willing to
take chances when a plain quoatton
or national integrity is beforo thorn,
but we do not believe the democracy
in Ueorgia shows this stripe and we
do believe that all honor and appre
ciation should be accorded to that
son ot Georgia's democracy who hag
stood the acid test.
NOT LIKELY TO BE PROVED
Wx-Governor Joseph M. Brown Is
on *afe ground when he falls tor
proof from the Dublin Courier-Herald
for Its assumption that corporation
Interests &ro hacking him.
Aaauredly, no corporation Interest
is backing him at this time, for be is
not In a position to serve them
What might dappea, If "the Little
David of the Corporations should en
ter the political arena la another
gtorv. Personally, we ate of the
opinion that the corporation! are too
vU» to desire to run an avowed
ecemv of lobor and thus create a
huge row, that can have hut a disas
trous end
Buch corpotate interests aa desire
to obtain trorn government undue
privilege* and unfair advantage#, do
not desire io give open announcement
of their designs aud purposes. Nor,
do the honest and fair-minded heads
ot great enierpitses care to see this
growing antagonism between capital
and lanor—wblch the ex governor ap
pears to be doing hie utmost to sos
ter by his reckless attacks upon labor
union*—brought to bitter Intensity
and industrial war.
The people of Georgia have too
much common sense to encourage the
creation of such Issues in the politi
cal field. The corporations nave too
much common senase—and, let us add
that we believe moat of them have
too much fair mindedness aa well—
to enter upon such a mad .truagle
for domination and the labor unions
themselves would scarcely welcome a
fight, which, though It might end to
(heir advantage would coat them,
doubtless, year* of privation, suffer
ing and probable loea of many lives
ere the end could be rescued
These are our reason* for deciding
in our own mind that Little Joe will
run for no office at present, also that
such backing as the corporations are
giving him, is not of the substantia!
nature of conuiglgn financing.
THINKING MEN AND OTHERS
Ex-president Roosevelt, before he
sailed for Spain, gave out some posi
tive instructions to "righ-mlnded peo
ple” as to what they should do, Ha
.aid right-minded people should get
together Irrespective of parties and
elect a governor in defiance of Ross
Murphy and Boss Barnes. But when
Mr. Whitman stepped forward to an
nounce hls cnndldaey, Mr. Roosevelt's
agent and representative, Theodore
Douglas Robinson, put the "won t do”
label on him. This shows that Mr.
Robinson knows a rtght-rnlnded man
when he sees one and that Mr. Whit
man Is not of that sort, according to
the standard established by Colonel
Theodore Roosevelt.
Now and then we hear a voice pro
claiming what “thlnklng-men” feel
and think upon some subject engaging
the thought and attention of the na
tion. As much as to say, "announca
yourself s half-wit If you do not fol
low this particular pattern of thought.
Who shall tell us whnt It Is that
"Ihlnklng-men" think and "right
minded” men stand for?
Each one of us believes we have
found a wise man, when we find one
who appears to see things from our
own viewpoint and with our Interpre
tation, hut just as Mr. Whitman dis
appointed Colonel Roosevelt, our wise
man Is likely to disappoint us at any
time.
We are told that “practical and
thinking people" feel amused at Presi
dent Wilson’s statement that business
depression Is lnrgely phychologieal,
but this doeH not quite satisfy vis that
thn president Is In error. It would
seem to us that "thinking and prac
tical" men would realise that Presi
dent Wilson and others, high In re
sponsibility for our national affairs
are not themselves wholly shut out
from the elalm of being “thinking
men.” At least. It Is scarcely likely
that the public will hail those who
Jump up and shout out what think
ing men think as being undisputed
authorities. Who knows what think
ing men think anyway, except those
who think themselves, and Is any man
who thinks prepared to aaaert that
men who think think nllke?

AFTER THE WEDDING
An Illustrated Story of the Way a Home Was Made
After Jennie's mother died, she and Tom were married and went to
ltve In a little apartment In a twrt of town wheie rents are not too ex
pensive. They were very happy and their married life seemed more lika
playing a game than anythina else. Jennie didn't know much about
housekeeping. In which she was very much like most of the young girls of
the present day.
Jennie and Tom would carefully count over what they could spend for
this snd that, and tried to make their little Inoon e so as far as possible
Jennie would go to the market, which wasn't far from where they lived,
and buy moat of the things, because she could always get more for her
money there. Then there was no much a week to pay on their furniture.

How Captain Rids Ship
of Mutinous Troops
Officer Claims That Ship li
Sinking and Troops are Wil
lingly Put Ashore.
Paris.—An amazing story of a shlp'R
captain's alrategem In getting rid of
a Ipload of mutinous troops la cabled
here from Athens. Wireless messages
had notified tha Greek authorities of
the mutiny and a destroyer .sent lh
pursuit of the steamer Athena mot
the latter vessel outside Lattrim.
While the destroyer was maneuvering
around the steamer and trying to stop
her continuing her course, one of the
mutineers near the helsman took hold
of the wheel, and, giving It a sudden
twist caused the Athina's bow to crash
into the side of the destroyer, with
the result that the latter vessel had
to be run ashore to save her from
foundering.
The Athina sutalned no damage, hut
the navigating officer seized the op-
which they had bought on the installment plan Than came the rent
and other things, until there was a mighty wee hit left for any amuse
ments. But they had each other and a cosy little home, and that was
a whole heap.
When Tom came home from work one night he found Jennie in the
midst of trying to make an apple pie for their supper. “Oh. Tom, the
crust is Just like a piece of leather, and I've got flour In my hair, eye* and
all over the floor. I know i'll never be a housekeeper.”
"There, there, girlie; let's cut the pie off the hill of fare for this time.
You'll learn after a while," and he folded her Into his arms, flour and
all. H. C. TO BE CONTINUED TOMORROW.
portunity thus offered to get rid of
his unwelcome visitors. He quietly
caused the seacocks of the ship to be
opened and gave out that she had been
damaged tn the collision and was tak
ing in water.
This alarmed the troops, who, be
lievln : the vessel to be in danger of
foundering, asked to be landed at Port
Raphu. The captain promptly com
plied and immediately the last soldier
left the ship’s side the valves were
closed and the vessel proceeded full
speed for the Plreau, the troops look
ing on from the shpre In wonderment
and realising too late the Athina's
strategem.
The mutineers surrendered to a mil*
itary force sent against them.
To Have the Siege of
Adrianople in “Movies”
Several Agents of Well-Known
Parisian Firm Have Author
ity to Make Films.
Soft* A message from Adrtanopls
states that several agent* of a well
known Parisian moving-picture concern
have arrived here with the authority of
the Ottoman government, to take pho
tographs with a Mew to cinematographic
reproduction of the aiege of Adrianople,
Its chief episodes, life In the town during
the siege, the defence of the fortress
and the development of the operation*
of the besieging froces outside It.
Several detachments of Turkish sol
diers have been placed at the disposal
of the firm's representatives, and have
been carrying out manoeuvres at Serai,
on the Tasehtabla road, to furnish film'
records.
The cinematograph nVUsts, however,
are not satisfied With these displays,
and have suggested that several vll
nges should he burnt In the neighbor
hood of Adrianople. undertaking to pay
liberally for all damage done. In order,
as they say, that they may be able to
provide a historical representation of
certain pleases In the military operation
round the fortress.
"The Ottoman authorities," the state
ment continues, "have hot yet replied tc
this proposal, but If it is accepted the
Bulgarian army will surely find Itself
confronted with a monstrous accusation
based on these films. We have, in fact,
reason to believe that a campaign ot
calumny Is in preparation against Bul
garia, with the object of effacing the dis
aslVous effects, as far as the Servians
and Greeks are concerned, of the report
of the Carnegie Commission of Inquiry
Into the atrocities alleged to have been
committed during the war, the publica
tion of which is imminent.
Carinq For the Old Minister
There should be a liberal endowment
by the denominations for the old minis
ter. He is a gracious connecting link
between the present and the past, a ven
erable saint, who should be fed and
housed and caved for, now that his
workday is over. Amid all tha changes
and trials of life he has been our faith
ful friend. He may have baptized two
generations in the same family, and he
has been a comforter In sickness and a
wise counsellor at all times. In many a
home he has set the little feet on the
right road at life's beginning and helped
them through the long Journey. At wed
ding or festival he has been the indis
pensable and honored guest. Our "proph
et's chamber" has held no worthier oc
rupant. He has smoothed the pillow of
the dying and pointed the way to
heaven.
Tes. the old minister has “many souls
for his hire.” Let us honor him and
fill his closing years tvlth love and kind
ness.—Christian Herald.
