ATHENS, Feb. 20-The proposals Of

But about Mr.. Reed. Everyone
who knows OF Mr.. Thomas Brack-
EFT Reed, OF Maine, ex-Speaker
OF the National House OF represent
atiyes, the American czar and
general boss of Congress, who has
heard him speak or has read after
him knows that he is ready de-

speaking or writing is a master
Of wit. humor and sarcasm.
In his views of last week he was
playing the role of the humorist
and Of course he was the star Of
the drama.
His time was taken up with bits
OF humor mixed with d little legis-
lative history-we reckon.
Mr.. Reed is an able man. He
demonstrated that in that letter.
Only an able man can take up as
much time as he did, talk or write
entertainingly all the time and
conclude without saying anything.
The article was headed
REED ON PROSPERITY,
but if he ever said much about t
or what the conditions are or what
we might anticipate we never saw
it, and we read carefully too.
OF course Mr.. Reed can afford to
use levity and indulge in witty
cical SMILES. Any man who re-
ceives $1,000 per annum can very
we'll remain in a good humor, and
takes things as they are and may
come. Times may be harder,
money scarcer which means
cheaper labor and products and it
is better for those who have fixed
salaries. Mr.. Reed is called a
great man. Maybe he is, but we
have noticed that he frequently
finds a way to joke, even about the
worst serious condition of our
country's welfare. And he has
done thusly, it seems to us-with
the question in point.
Read the article carefully and
see if you find anything promising
in what he says. Maybe he gain
ed his consent to be truthful, even
though mirthful and would not
prevaricate even to help his party.
And maybe he is getting in a sly
lick at the Ohio man who got in
the White House ahead O him.
