GEORGIA’S JUNIOR SENATOR.
After a moat brilliant atate-wide
campaign In which ho met ami ad
dreaaed the voters in a great majority
of ths counties of the state. Congress
man T. W. Hardwick has been nomi
nated by the state convention a a tin*
Democratic nominee for the uncxplred
term of the late Senator A. O. Bacon.
Congressman Hardwick's campaign
has been one of the hardest and moat
I itterly contested elections held In
Georgia in recent years. In a three
cornered race, and under the miser
able unit system, the convention was
deadlocked between Hardwick. Hlaton
and Felder. It took fourteen ballots
h untie the deadlock.
This fact remains significant in all
the convention balloting. After the
first (Millot both Hardwick and Felder,
candidates of the progressive wing of
the party, showed gains. Slaton and
Hutchens steadily lost votes as the
balloting went on.
After stirring scenes and an all
night session the convention adjourn
ed till noon the next day. when Fel
der would not release his delegate?*
and leave the fight between Hard
wick and himself. To continue the
fruitless balloting would he *c Jeop
ardise the interests of progressive
democracy.
Congressman Hardwick will make
Georgia an able and efficient repre
sentative In the senate. No man In
the state has fought the'party’s bat
tles more steadfastly or more valiant
ly. He mis been on the firing line in
many national campaigns His service
and lon* years In the house have
given him valuable experience and
training and made him a national
figure lie stands high In the conn
ells of thw administration and in the
estemi of the president and of the
leaders in Washington.
Tit# Herald extends its congratula
tions to the Junior senator and pre
dicts for him a useful and brilliant
o*re#r in the senate. The nation a?*
well as Georgia And ths South will
find Georgias new senator capable
and dependable and helpful in his new
duties and responsibilities

that Senator Hardwick has represent

“The Centuries Sob With

From Walter Rauschenbusch's “Pray

<> Lord, since firat the blood of
Abel cried to thee from the ground
that drank it, this earth of thine has
been defiled with the blood of man
Hhe . by hix brother’s hand, and the
centuries sob with the ceaseless hor
ror of war Ever the pride of kings
and the covetousness of the strong
have driven peaceful nations to
slaughter. Ever the songs of the past
and the pomp of armies have been
used to inflame the passions of the
people. Our spirit cries out to thee
in revolt against it, and we know
that our righteous anger is answered
by thy holy wrath.
Break thou the spell of the enchant
ments that make the nations drunk
with the lust of battle and draw them
on as willing tools of death. Grant us

Germany Is Warring Against

From the World’* Work.
it i* a curious fact that almost all
the troops in this war that have seen
service are in the armies of the anti-
German allies At Mukden in 1005-
Russia had as large a single army as
even entered battle in the history of
the world. In that one battle she had
.*IIO,OOO men. The soldiers in it*

the Russian army now. They have
proved themselves to be excellent sol

States army observers in Manchuria
hear witness to the stubborn courage
of the Russian soldier under the most
trying conditions. Even with the
poor leadership (from which he suf
fered at Manchuria) he will stand
tremendous losses without breaking.
The Manchurian veterans will tough
en the fiber of the Russian army.
Whether the lessons of Manchuria
quickened the intelligence and in
creased the skill of Russian leader

Russia's ally, France, has also a
body of troops seasoned by actual

Public Mind
He Want* to Quit Swearing, but Can't.
To The Herald:
How can a man quit swearing* l quit
drinking ten \ ear* ago and tobacco five
years ago. It was pretty hard but. be
lieve me. gentlemen, it was tame com
pared to the struggle in quitting the use
of profanity.
i have made up my .ind to quit a
million times, I reckon and would get
along all fight for about an hour. Then
T would be talking to someone and. the
first thing I knew. I would blurt out an
oath.
I am not a malicious swearer. I
never swear when l get angry. I never
swear when l stub my toe or break my
new straw hat. I swear in ordinary
conversation just as easily as l use the
articles “a." ''an'* and “the.”
After years of trying to overcome this
habit which certainly tag a place
among the very worst of bad habits. I
have almost come to the conclusion that
the only way for me to quit is to quit
talking I do not swear when T am
olone or when I am asleep.
Now in desperation I write my old
friend. The Herald. If there are read
ers who have overcome swearing, in
heaven's name, tell me how.
I am 48 years old. I am a member
of a Protestant church and believe in
the Bible from cover to cover.
ANXIOUS.
A Telephone Operator*'* Advice.
To The Herald: s
In the public eye it seeme that the
telephone operator has but one line to
concentrate her mind on. but instead
she takes care of from two hundred to
three hundred lines in one hour.
Don't blame Central because your bet
rang. She* would have no reason for
ringing unless someone was calling you.
Sometimes the constant ringing is
caused by tranches of trees rubbing
against the wires.
Don’t be angry with Uentra! if she
does not Answer your question It is
her duty to connect you with the infor
mation operator.
f We are allowed to answer very few
questions, and in doing so must use
phrase* prepared by the company and
not by us. •
Don't use rTofane language over the
telephone. You would not do It face
to face.
Don’t hang tip the receiver when you
by mistake call a wrong number Stay
on the line and tell the party railed It
waa your mistake. •
Yon don't have to call Central pet
names in order to get good service.
l>on't call Central « 'hello girl;*’ that
name la not used in any of her phrases
