HARDWICK OR SLATON? Mr. Hardwick* Is "toting his own skillet" very gracefully and very ef fectually. lie talks common acn»o to the people nnd cuts out emotion and personal attacks. Governor Hinton In decidedly vulnerable on the polnta i.pun whlcl llurtlwlek attacks him. Jle claims that Slaton ought to serve out his term or governor and that At lanta ahould nut he given both sena torahtps. These are both forceful reasons for voting against Jack Slaton In the acii tutorial race. Senator lioko Smith threw down the governorship for a chance at the senate and left the pro gressive wing of Georgia democracy much the weaker for hla readiness to sacrifice slate Issuea for national am bitions. The fact that tic has made good in tile senate cannot tie gainsaid. Both his personal supporters and hla political enemies aro glad to keep him in Washington. The latter because they can manage political matters in the state better for Ills absence, the former beeause they are proud of the Important poaition he holds and the prestige which his unquestioned abil ity gives the statu of Georgia. But Governor Hinton, in following the bad example of former Governor Kmlth, Is stretching ltie patience of Georgians too far. His opponents lu Georgia are less anxious to ship him to a larger field than they were In the case of Governor Smith and his supporters are as a general thing mors Interested In seeing him continue ns the state leader of their politics than in gratifying Ids preference for the honor of a national Job. Between these two partisan extremes, though, there are a whole lot of Georgia cltl* xens who are Influenced by two dis tinct reasons for opposing him. The first Is that they feel this thing of dtshonoriug the governorship by using It as a a lapping stone to the senate has gone quite tar enough and ought now to be gently but firmly discour aged. The second Ist They feel tlial better efltctency can be had In Geor gia by keeping the governor In har ness and in Washington by giving Kepresentattva Hardwick the logical promotion from the house to the sen ate, to which he has read his titles clear by excellent und logical service to his slate. Hardwick's pMnt that Atlanta should not bo given both senatorsldps can not he counted as narrow or sectional 1-et them prove that Atlanta has tin monopoly of brainy statesmen anil the rest of Georgia will waive Its rights In the Interset of creditable represen tatloii. But they can't prove tt. Hard wick la the most available und ef ficient political Umber In the market and llardwlck It should be, both be cause he Is the right stuff and because the state of Georgia is not situated lu the city ot Atlanta. WOMAN SUFFRAGE QUESTION While we should n«t In the least regret to see woman suffrage prevail tn Georgia, we are free to aay that w* dread the discussion of this question In the present legislature, for the sim plel—and abundant —reason that when ever a chance Is offered to our chival rous statesmen of Georgia to dlsrourae on the Interesting subject of woman, the less beguiling problems of the day slid hour must stand nnd walk There Is a great deal that ought to t's don* at thia assembly. Koine of the measures which were displaced when th«a "woman-lawyer bill" first cant* up and first set off tha elo quence of legislature are still watting their turn. If they are >ot to wait until this* questions regarding "wo man." “Tli* home.* "Iler sphere." are settled, things.

We had a red hot fight today—and ovir war correspondents covered themselves with glory. I wish I could say that the troop* were equally successful, but as a matter of fact they had fewer opfMAtu liities. It whs like this. At the pump ing station, upon which this city chiefly depends for its water supply, and which is some nine miles on the other side of nowhere, Is an American outpost of 260 marines. To them appeared suddenly, out of the blue, two Mexican cavalrymen, under a white flag. They explained that they represented a mixed force of five hun dred Federal*, and that, unless the out posts suri i mb-red gs I thill ten minutes, things would happen. The commander 4 >f the in riries replied that in that ciise they had hotter return before the ten minutes worn up—which they did. Thereafter the marines wait ed f(/r three-quarters of an hour —and nothing happened. They heard, how ever, of five shots fired from somewhere, which presumably represented the Mexi can army. One of tlie marines thought hi- saw something, so he fired too, and did not hit It. And tli t was the end of (he engagement. There is not much In this story to write about, but the effecd upon our w >r correspondents was extraordinary. Our members, including the latest arrivals, must now he somewhere about seven hundred and not one of them hut was In himself u perfect *1.7 of activity. Never was seen such a buckling on of swords arid spurs and breastplates and cowboy hats and accoutrements generally. And there arose at once the question of horses. The pumping station, as 1 have said, is nine miles on the othfcr side of nowhere. Home of us sh was only natural, took cabs -to be charged later to expense account. One gentle man, my very good friend, w >s luckier than the commanalty. He met a Mexi can gentleman of shabby appearance, In the street, riding upon a tour-legged animal about the size of a Great Dane, j 1 <• approached him at once, and, after a I spirited contest, purchased the animal for $:6 Mex., which at the present rate of exchange is about two pounds 6s a price which included saddle, bridle nnd other incidentals. Then lie proceeded 19 mount. I have heard, though I will not vouch for it for you can never believe any young mail’s fancy. A special session, called when business is brisk and practical thoughts fill the mind, when the Hpng birds lend no distraction of ciweet trills, when the sap is low In the roots, when exfoliation is not even promised In the hud, when all nature is disciplined and restrained and folks 1 too busy with conditions to be led off Into theories and sentiments. Then and then only will it be possible to discus sthis momentous question with out a sacrlflcal offering of the time slid thought that rightly belong to the varied affairs of rftate. TAXATION AND ECONOMY. The high price of high ideas is one of the reasons for the ever-increasing cost of government. One of the planks In the Baltimore platform reads; “We denounce tho profligate waste of the money wrung from the people by oppressive taxation through the lavish appropriations of recent republican congresses, which have kept taxes high and reduced the purchasing power of the peoples toll. We demand a return to the simplicity and econ omy which befits a democratic government.” While It is purely theoretical to at tempt to get back ter the primitive idea of wlmt governments should ex pend, It is Important to bear In mind that tax money should he scrupulously economized and spent only for benefits v hich will be realized by all the peo ple. The tendency tn government Is to spend rashly and lavishly. The habit of loose spending Is growing in governments of all forms, state, mu nicipal ami national. 1 targe sums of money, coming In from various sources, are of them selves a little upsetting to a true sense of each’s dollar’s worth, and when taxes are .heavy there Is usually a great waste In tho way the peoples money is disbursed. It is dangerous to collect large sums by taxation be cause it is spent ns a matter of course, and when the people are under a strain to meet their taxes, there Is no pub lic benefit that Is going to make up for the burden that is Imposed. Our politicians are very busy Just now, talking to the people on all of these problems of government. Are any of them duly impressed with the duty of statesmen and public officers In holding down public expenses and making government scrupulously eco nomical? Would taxes he so abhorrent to citi zens ts they could feel an abiding faith that their money was consci entiously Invested for them? THE PROTECTING SEX. Thus Jerome 8 McWjule, in an aftsr dlnner speech at Duluth, t>egnn his re sponse to a toast on 'The Ladies.** “When the Incites are with us. wa are safe.” he resumed; “but when they go to country or shore, leaving us in town alone, then our troubles begin. “A mun one summer day called on a doctor. •* 'Doe,* he said, Tm all run down.* " ‘You look it, too,' said the doctor, sympathetically. Tm not going to pre scribe drugs for a man tn your condi tion. No, sir. what I'm going to pre scribe for you is gardening.’ 'The patient started nnd hig un healthy pallor turned to a dull hrlok red. *' ’But, doc,’ be said, 'gardening le the cause of all my trouble# ’ ” 'Humph, what kind of gardening? asked the doctor Incredulously.

Why aren't you out on the floor .tangoing, man?' his host asked ”1 don't tango ” Blanc answered “You don't tango? Incredible! Bow on earth is It that you don't tango?” "Well,'' Blanc snld sadly.

I personally took a cab and told the man to drive to the battlefield. After he had driven about two hours we met the Mexican army. It was resting un der a tree, and It was smoking a cigar ette. and its rifle was about twenty yards away from It, resting against, an other tree, and it was very comfortable end quite happy. I cod Id have captured it and thereby ended the "peaceful oc cupation” of Mexico, but I am a non combatant, and the subject of a neutral power, so I only asked it where the fighting was. It yawned and waved Its itrm sleepily and Hold “Quien sahe?” which is Mexican for "How the devil should I know.” And then it asked mo if I had any news to give It, or any ci gars, or any money, because it was a very poor man. I give it a cigar of exceeding rankness, and it lighted It and became very much more amiable, and explained to me, In so many words, that it hud not the vaguest idea what all the trouble was about, and had I. Just then the cabman, who was con sumed ly bored by the whole proceedings and had just missed killing a fly on the near end of the off horse with his whip, explained to me that he would want 20 pesos although he hail originally agreed to take me for ten. I hate arguments, so I gave the Mexican army fifty cents Mex.. and asked him to argue the mat ter for me. which he did to everybody’s complete satisfaction. Then he did his very best to explain to me where the mun had relieved had told him that a passing peon had told him that his sis ter had a young man friend who hadv ev ery reason to believe that the fighting was taking place. Ho I drove on for an other hour or so, and ended In a marsh, and the cabman said that the off horse was the son of an animal that shall be nameless, so I decided to let the fight ing look after Itself, and told him to drive back to the military headquaters. yt the corner of the Alameda. As to the owner of Marengo, lie traded that worthy beast immediately on his return for sixteen little bags of Bull Durham tobaccos, such as they pro vide in United States battleships—and i« thoroughly satisfied --ith his bargain. SpEPYTIME mum THE BIG WHITE CAT. Once upon a time there was a hig, hie white cat, ever so much larger than any cat you or I have ever seen. It had large green eyes and Us whiskers were almost a loot long. So you see It could smell anything a long ways off. For you know a cat's whiskers are wiiat helps them to smell. It lived all alone in a hollow trunk of a tree In a nice, big for est and seemed quite cross and selfish, so much so that no one ever came to see it, or cared any thing about it. It would often sit at the door of Its home at night and look out into the dark with Its big green eyes, and sniff at the animals as they walked by. They did not come very near, and hur ried by as last as they could. One night Mr. and Mrs. Squirrel were taking their evening walk and they saw the cat sitting at the door. "What a horrid ugly cat," said Mrs. Squirrel. "Let's not go by. 1 am afraid.” Mr. Squirrel told her he would look out for her so they went past hut Mrs. Squirrel was glad when they wore past and begged to go home another way. One day baby squirrel ran away and walked up to the cat's home, “flood morn ing. 1 came to see if you were cross. 1 heard my mother say that you were and she was afraid of you, but you don't look so," said Baby Squirrel. This amused the big cat and it began to laugh and put out its paw toward the squirrel. Just at that moment Mrs. Squirrel came along looking for the runaway. She thought of course the oat was going to hurt her baby and she ran toward them as fast as she could. Baby Squirrel looked up and so did the cat It called out: "1 am at! right, mamma. Don't worry aud the cat isn't a bit cross. I like It very much." Mrs Squirrel took hold and gave him a shake and sent him home. The cut laughed and told her he would not hurt them. After that each day the baby squirrel would come and see the cat and they were the beat of friend* and had many nice tulktt together. When the others saw the cat was not really cross they ven tured to come and visit. So the cat was not lonely any more. CLINKSCALES RIGHT (Yorkville Enquirer.) Mr. CMnkscalea wants to put the tigers on the cb&lngang instead of letting them off with fines. He says the present system is little more than a means of raising municipal reve nue* and he Is right Of course un der the law. people convicted of mis demeanor have the rlrat of paying a fine as alternative of Imprisonment We think that liquor selling shoull be made a felony; but don't see how that can be dqne so long as counties are allowed to engage In the bust ness. However, that Is not the whole point by any means. It is the policy of the average municipality to pre fer fines to Imprisonment for offend ers anyway, and the system Is i er- Melons. The tendency is to unjust arrest and holdups that are subver sive of the rights of ldtvtduals The municipality In the pursuit of this policy often commits wrongs that ate worse than they essay to punish But after all the only solution is the per sonal equation. It Is almost Impossi ble to make a law that a crooked ad ministration cannot tnke advantage of, and almost any kind of a man can justify himself satisfactorily when he can show ne Is within the law The right and proper way to administer municipal corrections Is to Impose fine* up to the limit, and reduce the imprisonment alternative down to something In reason That would help encourage good behavior, though It might not swell treasury receipts. HE AUGUSTA HERALD, AUGUSTA, GA. " AFTER THE WEDDING AN ILLUSTRATED STORY OF THE WAY A HOME WAS MADE. After thinking over Mr. Wilson’s of fer, Tom decided to accept and go into partnership with him. Tom was to get a salary and commission, and to pay in so much a month until he had bought a half share in the business. Now it rests with me, thought Tom —the more i hustle the more money we’re going to make. Tom had found a nice little place in one of the suburbs and had taken the baby and Jennie there, where they could be out doors nd get plenty of good air. It was the same town where the Wilsons lived with their baby, and they all had quite good times together. Not far from where they lived Tom One day Bunny Rabbit saw old Mr. Fox ahead of him, hiding behind the bushes. ‘‘Oh, Mr. Fox,” he called, “what are you afraid of? I do not think there are any dogs about this morning?" Mr. Fox waited until Bunny Rabbit came up to him. ‘‘Why, a dog could not frighten me,” said Mr. Fox. “He would run if I even looked at him.” “I thought you were hiding behind the hushes as you ran along," said Bunny Rabbit, “and perhaps there there might he a dog looking for you.” “No, indeed.” replied Mr. Fax, "I was just trying to keep in the shade where it was cool. I do not go out much in the day time and feel the heat of the sun very much Indeed.” “How does it happen that you are out today?” asked Bunny Rabbit. “Well, you see, 1 was out to a party last night,” replied Mr. Fox, “and I stayed rather longer than I intended, so 1 am late getting home." "Oh. I see,” replied Bunny Rabbit, beginning to think there was some reason for Mr. Fox's visit to ,the woods “You do not Happen to have more breakfast than had this morning, do you?" Inquired Mr. Fox. “I have trav- IJ Uh« toAwv« Mrs Fox tHZEa -^4) Bunny Rabbit and Mr. Fox. pled so far I feel quite hungry. If you could find me a duck Or a fa' hen I should he glad tb breakfast with you." “1 am sorry.” replied jßunny Rabbit, "but l never eat them myself, there fore I do not keep them on hand, but I know where there are plenty of them.” "Where?' inquired Mr. Fox. eagerly "At the white farm house over the hill." replied Bunny Rabbit, "Yes, 1 know about that place." re plied Mr. Fox, In a disinterested n au | ner. "I'll tell you what I can do for you.” | he said suddenly. "I know where there ts a fine bed of all sorts of green stuff, and as you are willing to share what you have with me 1 will return your j kindness. # "You go right past my house under the hill and then turn to the right and go over the hill to the white farm and there is* the garden, and In the barn you will find the carrots." "I ha' e been there already." replied Bunny Rabbit, “but I djd not know about the carrots. I think they have a very cross dog there anil he might be right at the barn door." "t *h. "ell.

On closer inspection he saw that what looked like very poor soil was really very good building sand.

A dog jumped out from behind a tree and chased Bunny Rabbit and then he saw a man with a gun, who fired a shot at Bunny Rabbit, but did not hit him. Oh! How Bunny Rabbit did run to ward the woods when he saw the dog! He reached them.too, and when the dog got to the woods Bunny Rabbit safe in his hole. It all happened just as Mr. Fox thought It would, for he knew very well where Mr. Dog and his master were and that was the reason he could not go home that morning—he was being chased by them. He had visited the farm the night before and Mr. Dog had seen him and given the alarm. Mr. Fox knew that Bunny Rabbit would be chased by Mr. Dog as soon as he showed himself near the place where Mr Dog was watching, and that would take him away from Mr. Fox's home. As soon as the began Mr. Fox ran along the edge of the woods, and when Mr. Dog ran into the woods he ran out and home as fast as you ever saw a fox run. That afternoon Bunny came out of his hole and sat under a tree. “I wonder what became of Mr. Fox.” he thought to himself. "It was strange I met Mr. Dog right close to Mr. Fox’s house. It looked almost as though he and his master were waiting for some thing." Then Bunny Rabbit sat still and thought a long time. “I’ wonder If that was why he told me about those carrots,” he said at last. "He knew all the time Mr. Dog was watching right close to his home, and that he would chase me if he saw me, and that w nuld ogive Mr. Fox a chance to run home, and he did not care what be came of me “I'll beware next time I meet him, and when he tells me where to find nice green stuff I will first find out what he has been doing the night be fore.” (Copyright, 1914, by the McClure Newspaper Syndicate, New York City.) Tomorrow’s story—“ David.” shooting"Tn~ MEXICO (From the Army and Navy Journal). Describing toe recent experience In Mexico, where he ha* resided for 17 jears, M. H. Carpenter, former super, intendent of an oil company at Tam pico, said: "There Is one very goo a reason why the rebels are licking the tederals—they are better shots. Most 01 the rebels are volunteers fighting for a purpose, and their heart Is In their aim. They are mostly from tne northern states, too. and the people of those states are all hunters. The federals are largely conscripts, and Tnost of them wish they could get out of It. The result Is that they point their guns in the general direction o! where the rebels are supposed to be and w-nang away. With the rec eat ing rifles they use there is a tremen doits waste of ammunition. We used to estimate that the federals wasted 7rt per cent more cartridges than the rebels. The Mexican temperament ! enters into this also If a Mexican is making a whole lot of noise, so much that he sounds to himself like a whole battle, he .thinks Wat he Is safe and repulsing the enemy, and most times he Is. too. no REST.
