Old-fashioned Training

The strong point of the old'iashioned

girl grew up to maidenhood she was
Often sorely puzzled to reconcile those
past teachings with her present condi-

nure as the lilies of her garden. Her
heart was undefiled. And yet she was
desperatly unhappy by reason OF physi-
cal ailments common to women.
This was the weak side OF old
fashioned training: 1t ignored the

Leslie's Weekly quotes the president
of life insurance company as saying
that the chances of living to be 100
years old are ten times as good now as
30 years ago. Sanitary science is bet
ter understood and people live better
and care for themselves better than
ever before. He says, too, that the
activity of American life promotes
long life Active and absorbed men
do not wear out. Idleness and want
of purpose rusts out. 1t tends to both
a mental and physical decadence. The
most strenuous life is, on the average,
the longest and healthiest life.

NERVES..

The modern malady Of love is nerves
Love, once a simple madness, now observes
The stages Of his passionate disease
And Is twice sorrowful, because he sees,
Inch by inch entering the fatal knife

And let me- for midnight, cease to hear
The clock'foreyer ticking in my ear,
The clock that tells the minutes in my braini
It is not love nor loves despair, this pain
That shoots witlcss, kcener pang across
The simple agony OF love and loss.

OF heaven and, waking in the darkness, screams!

The question, had Czolgosz. the as
sassin of President Mckinley, acom-
plices? is no nearer settled than 1t was
the day of the assassination. 1t is
said that since his conviction the as
sassin has talked rather more freely
than he did prior to that event, but
never at any time has he, in the
remotest degree, admitted that he was
either assisted in doing the dastardly
deed or advised to do it. On the con-
trary he has stated to several persons
that he alone was responsible for the
crime.
1t hardly seems reasonable that a
sane man would commit such a crime
as that of which he is guilty, without
a motive or without encouragement
from others. 1t is admitted that he
had no ill-feeling against President Nc
Kinley, and he says that the only rea-
son he had for killing him was that
he was the head of the nation. Czol-
gosz explains that he is an anarch
list, and that therefore. he believed
it was his duty to commit the deed.
He may be telling the truth, but it
is the custom among anarchists to
choose from among their number the
one who is to execute the will of the
whole group. There is, therefore, a
general belief that there was a plot to
assassinate President Mckinley and
that Czolgosz was the agent chosen
to do the deed.
1t is true that the facts to prove the
truth of this belief are lacking. The
anarchists arrested in Buffalo, Chicago
and Cleveland have been released.
They were held as long as it was
thought there was a chance to connect
them with the crime. A few things
which seemed to indicate a plot were
discovered, but they were insufficient
in themselves to make out a case
against those who were under arrest.
If Czolgosz had accomplices they have
been remarkably successful in keep
ing in the background. He has been
faithful in his obligation to make no
disclosures. Having thus far refused
to admit that others were concerned in
the assassination it is probable that
he will refuse to break the silence he
has so firmly maintained, and will
carry the secret of the plot-if there
was plot-to the grave with him. 1t
will always be generally believed, how
ever, that he was one of a number of
conspirators, and that he was chosen
to execute the purpose of one or more
groups of anarchists

made very fast. With three screws.
Furthermore, the margin OF safety is
increased. Should one, or even both
of the wing propellers be broken, the

THE LIQUOR PROBLEM.

1t appears that the gubernatorial
liquor question; whether local option
or prohibition shall be the rule in
Georgia; whether the counties shall de-
eide this matter for themselves, or
whether the people of certain counties
that have prohibition and certain per-
sons who claim to be prohibitionists
shall force by state legislation prohibi-
ton upon counties which do not desire
it.
At the outset it should be understood
that the Morning News has always
stood for. temperance, in respect to
drinking as we'll as other matters. 1t
abhors drunkenness. and would be
happy to see the state upon a temper
ance basis. For that reason it has TAX
en- part in the campaign of education
against strong drink, and has consist
emily advocated local option as the
very best means yet devised of con-
trolling and finally eliminating the IL
quor traffic. 1t is a trite old saying
that morals cannot be inculcated with
a club. 1t is equally true that a prohi-
bition law does not make prohibition.
This is to be seen in the states of
Maine and Kansas. The very nearest
approach to prohibition that can be
had is arrived at in those communities
where the majority of public opinion
condemns the liquor traffic. and votes
the saloon out. But prohibition cannot
be had where the majority of public
opinion is against it. That is why the
Morning News adheres to local option.
1t does not believe in dropping the sub
stance of real and gradual reform to
grasp at the shadow of immediate and
total prohibition.
Local option is based upon the best
of Democratic doctrine. 1t is a recog-
milton of the right of local self govern
ment by majority rule. 1t permits the
what they think is best for them. In
certain communities conditions differ
from those in other communities; what
is best for one is not best for the 9TH
err: each should be permitted to deter
mine for itself. This is possible un-
der local option, but is not under gen.
eral prohibition. Prohibition assumes
that those communities which do moi
agree with ii are not competent Il
govern themselves and must therefore
be dubbed into submission to the will
of the prohibitionists

Times has celebrated it's fiftieth an

braced an interesting history of its

ROoSEvELT,s POLICIES.

There are signs that the President is
not altogether pleased with the inter-
pretations which some of the newspa-
pers and politicians have placed upon
his utterances respecting his policies.
He is afraid that wrong impressions
will get abroad, and. hence, he has
taken occasion to say that he must not
be held responsible for all that is APP
pearing in the public prints as to what
his position is on public questions.
1t is proba BILE, however, that no Sc
rous mistake has been made in saying
that his views on pretty nearly all
public matters are in harmong with
those which President Mckinley held.
A close study of the speech which he
made at Minneapolis shows that this
is true. There was no understanding,
however, between President Roosevelt
and the late President. The formers
Minneapolis speech was delivered three
days before the latter's famous ad-
dress on reciprocity treaties was de-
lvered at the Pan-American EXPOSE
ton. So well satisfied are friends of
President Roosevelt with his Minneap-
oils speech that they are having it
printed in pamphlet form along with
the late Presidents Pan-American
speech. This would not be done if the
effect would be to show that President
Roosevelt was not sincere when he said
he would carry out the policies Of
President McKinley's administration.
1t is of course by no means certain
that President Roosevelt will make a
success of the Mckinley policies. He is
a frank, impulsive man. utterly lack
ing in those qualities which made Mr..
leader. The latter, when he found OBJ
stacles in his path, set about patiently
and amiably to remove them. He
aimed always to hold his party togeth-
er. He sometimes temporarily yielded
his position rather than lose the sup
port of any of the leaders of his party.
President Roosevelt's record justifies
the opinion that he will not be so ami
able and patient when he encounters
oppositon-that he will seek to gain
his point by rough-rider methods. If
this estimate of him is correct it will
not be long before he will have trou-
BILE.
1t is not going to be an easy mat
ter to carry into effect the proposed
policy of reciprocity. The late President
knew that, but he could have succeed
ed in carrying out that policy if any
body could.
But will President Roosevelt succeed
in carrying it out? That is a question
which many are asking and no one is
prepared to ansMer-
