He Hal n High Purpo.e.

I It is interesting TO read the comments
in the newspapers on the dinner that
was given 10 Dr. Parkhurst Of New
York last Thursday night by the vigi-
lance League Of that city. It was the
third dinner given by the league in honor
of DR.. Parkhurst. Those who were pres
ent were proud TO be there. They were
representative men-men Of influence
and character. who had won wealth and
prominence by honorable methods. Not
one among them but felt that in honor
ing Dr. Parkhurst, honor was being con-
ferred upon a man who had a high pur-
pose.
How different were the feelings Of those
who attended the first dinner the league
gave in honor of Dr. Parkhurstl The
number of prominent men present was
small, and it was said in the newspa-
pers that that small number showed con-
siderable courage in attending. DIT.
Par6hurst had only begun his war on
vice and crime then, and there was
much doubt as to whether ne would be
successful or not. He was not thorough
ly understood. The newspapers sneered
al him and his sincerity was questioned
1t was said he was only a sensational
preacher, and that he sought notoriety.
Well-meaning men who lacked his cour-
age hesitated to encourage him because
they were not sure he had a high pur-
pose. Those who held the city in their
grasp, and robbed the people in the many
ways that We're subsequently exposed ex-
erted themselves to the utmost to weak
en- his power by making him an object
of contempt and ridicule.
No man in New York is more honored
now than DR.. Parkhurst. The record he
has made in that city contains lesson
for men all over the country. and es-
pecially for public men. 1t is that those
who have a high purpose are certain
to be listened TO and trusted eventually,
however much they may be ridiculed and
abused in the beginning. Public men
who depend upon fraud and deceit for
success may flourish for a little while,
but they cannot win enduring success.
They are certain to be found out, and
then their fall from power and influence
is only a question of time. The men
who build upon a solid foundation of
high character and high purposes may be
slow in winning the good will of the
masses, but they are sure to win it, and
when they achieve prominence and in
fiuence they retain them.
Almost alone DR.. Parkhurst began his
battle for reform in New York. The evil
influences he had to combat were many
and powerful His sincerity won him
assistance and in a remarkably short
time he and his friends got control of
the city. He did magnificent work and
deserves the credit that is being so lib
orally bestowed upon him.

An Irishman.s brilliant Idea.

Some Irishmen are naturally stupid, but
their mistakes are at times so humorous
as to provoke a laugh, which makes one
forget the more serious part of the error,
says harper's Round Table. Recently a
son of ireland went out rowing on the
lake at a famous summer resort. A stiff
northwest wind came up, and not being
skillful with the oars, in a short time his
boat shipped considerable water.
A brilliant idea then seized him, and
taking the butt end of the oar, he battered
away at the planks in the bottom of the
boat, finally knocking a hole in them.
Fortunately for him, steam launch with
a pleasure party aboard came along and
rescued him as his boat sank. Upon be-
ing asked why on earth he drove a hole
through the boat, he replied:
AN phwat else would yez do? Sure
the boat was half full of water, an so Oi
knocked a hole in the bottom to let it out
but, yeZ see, there was so much more
water in the lake that the little bit of a
stream in my boat had no chance to get
out"

The idea of the Georgia legislature pass
ing a special act directed against dance
is little if any short of ridiculous. There
is already a plenty of law to deal with all
indecent exhibitions, and it is the duty of
the police or other officers of the law to
see that such exhibitions are suppressed.
The Atlanta exposition is Incorporated
with the city for police purposes. 1t is the
business of the Atlanta police authorities
to see that the shows in the grounds are
unobjectionable. The legislature would be
engaged in mighty small business in en-
acting a special law to meet a situation
that could DE met and mastered by one
policeman with a club under existing laws.

Canal and Monroe Doctrine.
From the Washington News (Dem.)

If the lis members of the Senate and
House who express their opinions on the
Nicaragua canal are representatives of
the sentiments of congress the bill to guar
antee its bonds will pass. 1t cannot be de-
MED that the expected report of the COM
mission and the recent excitement about
the Monroe doctrine will greatly strength
en- the support of the bill, as the report is
explanation of the bearing of the canal
under American control in case of trouble
with European powers, would show that
mean sa4ety and economv. From mer-
camille point of view the business interests
of the country thoroughly comprehend the
immense value of the canal, and 1t now re-
mains to let the people generally under
stand all that and at the same time that,
as a naval and military advantage the in
ter-oceanic waterway under the control
of TINS government woulu put all compli-
cations about the Monroe doctrine at rest

Jones county is away up in the middle
of the state. It is all right for the gentle
man from Jones county TO bullyrag Spain
with the introduction of a Cuban indepen-
dence resolution in the legislature. because
there isn't in the Spanish navy a single
ship that can run up the Ocmulgee river
far enough to throw solid shot into Gin

The young mans name is Churchill; his
title is the Duke of Marlborough. The
wedding invitations read to the effect that
Mrs. William Nissan Vanderbilts daugh-

There is no room to doubt that it is the

Mr.. Churchill isn't in the consideration
at all, according to the wording of the in

Lunacy Trials in Murder Cases.

Itsseems to us that the bill introduced
into the legislature by Mr.. Broyles OF
Fulton, at the request of Judge Richard
IL. Clark, providing that the question of
the sanity of persons convicted of murder
shall be submitted to a jury Of judges
of the superior court, is a step in the
right direction. It is now an extremely
difficult matter to secure a conviction
in murder case in which strong de-
Tense is made. Courts are not only gen.
erous in granting continuanees until the
states witnesses get beyond their juris-
diction, but. as a rule, the instructions
relative to the law which they permit to
go to juries are as liberal as the prece-
dents will permit. When shrewd lawyers
fan to secure for their clients a verdict
of acquittal they do not consider their
case is hopelessly lost. They go to the
supreme court if they have saved ex-
ceptions, or. If there is the slightest
ground for doing So they may endeavor
to prove their client insane The pur-
pose of Judge Clark's bill, as we under
stand it, is to insure a trial by a capa-
BILE tribunal. No insane man ought, of
course, to be executed. Neither ought
the ends Of justice to be defeated by the
insanity plea
There is a conviction in the public
mind. and we have frequently called at
tention to it, that murderers too often
escape punishment. 1t is unusual that
a murderer who is ably defended is ex-
ecuted. We do not believe there would
be such homicides as that in Screven
county week before last and that in
Worth county last week if the laws
| against crimes of violence were enforced
promptly ana with as much regard for
the public welfare as for the accused.
Courts seem to be more concerned for
those accused of crimes of violence than
for the good of society. Every step,
therefore. the legislature takes for the
better protection of society should be
/ approved.

Weak Nerves

Indicate as surely as any physical
symptom shows anything, that the or
gans and tissues Of the body are not
satisfied with their nourishment.
They draw their sustenance from
the blood, and if the blood is thin, i'm
pure OF insufficient, they are in state
of revolt. Their complaints are made
to the brain, the king Of the body,
through the nervous system, and the
result of the general dissatisfaction is
what we call Nervousness.
This is q concise, reasonable expla-
nation of the whole matter.
The cure for Nervousness, tlen, is
simple. Purify and enrich your blood
by taking Hoods Sarsaparilla, and the
nerves, tissues and organs viii have
the healthful nourishment they crave.
Nervousness and Weakness win then
give way to strength and health.
That this is not theory but fact is
proven by the voluntary statements of
thousands cured by Hoods Sarsapa-
rilla. Read the next column.
