distinctly.

QUALIFICATIONS FOR MEMBERSHIP
The Speak Kindly Club has no constitution and
no bylaws. 1t has only motto, which expresses
q good intention. The club members are merely to
resolve to speak kindly. The name OF the club is
the motto 1t aptly illustrates the greatness OF
little things for IT really is great thing 70 speak
kindly. 1t is great thing to speak kindly TO peo-
pie on all occasions. II is equally great thing
to speak kindly OF people OF course back Of IT all
is the still greater proposition OF thinking kindly
The Speak Kindly Club means the thought as well
as the speech However. It is not always possible
TO govern thought. but It is possible TO govern
speech, and with the victory speech later Will
come the victory thought It IS q paradoxicaI
condition OF affairs but it is true. that it is often
easier to be kind to outsiders than IT is be kind
20 the home folk Anybody be kind to out
slders but only good people are kind to home folk
Then there IS the difficulty OF speaking kindly OF
members that they speak kindly Of people. Mem
hers must agree that they will try 70 make only
such statements sound kindly. This means that
when members cannot speak kindly they shall
keep silent-say nothing. This also is not an easy
habit Of speaking just as we happen to think and
feel at the moment. The habit is an unworthy one

IT, and IL will remind you Of the Speak Kindly Club

the better for the habit Of speaking kindly cannot
be cultivated too early in life.

BACK TAXES PAID.

Four Building and Loan Companies In
Atlanta Settle With County and State.
An Atlanta dispatch says: Forty
thousand dollars is the amount of back
taxes collected for the state and Fulton
county from four building and loan
associations in the city.
The terms of settlement were agreed
upon several Days ago, the associations
expressing a willingness to deposit
checks for specified amounts,
The amounts to be pai! by the diff
ferent associations were, in round
numbers, as follows: Southern Home
$4,000; National Railway, $4,000;
Atlanta National, $12, 900; Interstate,
$4,000.
The amounts claimed by the state
and county for taxes, under the recent
ruling of the supreme court was more
than two hundred thousand dollars,
but conferences between representa-
tives of the association and the county
commissioners resulted in a SETTLE
ment for the smaller sum.

prisoners in Indiana are leading the
lives of good citizens. Under the sys-

indeterminate. When, in the opinion
of the state board of pNrdons, he is
fit to make the effort TO live outside
the walls, he is given his freedom or
parole. When he is freed on parole
and, if he can be reformed at all, he
seldom stays more than two years
he usually has moro than 500 of earn

sum. An agent of the state has al.

SECRET IS OUT.
A Washington Correspondent Ex-
plains Mystery Surrounding
DeweY's Announcement.

Dewey's Announcement.
The Atlanta Journals Washington
correspondent wires his paper as fol-
lows.
Here is the whole secret of the
Dewey announcement for president in
anutshell: The scheme was engineered
by Colonel Hugh @. Wallace, Of the
state Of Washington; ex-Secretary Will
lam O. Whitney and Hon. Daniel La
mont, II first took shape at the Whit
ney dinner in New York some weeks
ago. It's purpose was to disorganize
the Bryan Democracy.
AT the time Dewey had not been
consulted and Wallace was delegated
to approach the admiral. Just before
Dewey went south Wallace called on
the admiral, and stated the PROPOSE
tion and assured him that it would be
possible to capture the Kansas City
convention by keeping the scheme
quiet until the proper time to spring
it. Dewey discouraged the idea, but
frankly admitted that he would aid
any movement to defeat Mckinley.
When the admiral and Mrs. Dewey
returned from the south, Wallace APP
preached him again and this time he
took the matter under advisement.
Thursday afternoon last, Lamont call
ed at the Dewey home and was in
conference with the admiral for an
hour. Mrs. Dewey was in this con-
ference, and advised her husband to
become a candidate. It was agreed at
the time that the announcement should
be made only indirectly until the eff
feet of the suggestion could be tested.
After Lamont had returned to his
hotel the admiral sent for Charles S.
Albert, the chief of the Worlds Wash
ington staff, and gave to him the die
tated interview. The idea of the en-
gineers of the movement was to ascer-
tain if the Dewey announcement would
meet with such popular favor as to
carry the country by storm, and at
least deadlock the Kansas City con-
vention with the possibility of either
nominating him or nominating some
other than Bryan.
Dewey on the other hand is bitter
toward Mckinley, as is also Mrs.
Dewey, largely for personal reasons,
and he is willing now to head an in,
dependent movement if he can draw
enough Republican votes to assure
even Bryan's election. His candi-
dacy has fallen flat, his promoters are
unwilling for him to head any move
ment that might assist instead of de-
tract from Bryan, and there is already
a threatened split between the new
candidate and those responsible for
his candidacy.
All factions are now waiting for de-
velopments before making another
move. II after the first wave of dis.
approval and resentment the reaction
is in favor of Dewey, he will be urged
by the Lamont faction to continue his
race and go to Kansas City a candi
date. If on the other hand it has
been seen that there is absolutely nc
possibility to capture the regular Dem
ocratic nomination, the question o.
his heading an independent ticket viii
be discussed and decided upon it,
possible results.
