harsher treatment than to be called a

satisfaction in being so classified. My
esteemed friend Estill need have no
apprehension of his treatment in the
coming campaign; he is recognized as
the best possible type of the logical
candidate, and If we can find the right
place for Judge Turner in Washing
ton, where his best work can be done,
Estill should have a walk-over. The
people recognize his business qualifica-
tions, the press favors him, he has
made a success in life, and the only
reason why he is opposed must be
other men want the Office.
1t would be quite in order to select
the next Governor from Savannah, for
the old city has had little opportunity
to contribute to the welfare of the
state in this way. The one hopeful, re-
deeming feature of the administration
policy of expansion is that the school
master follows the flag; this in the
Philippines and in Cuba will cover a
multitude of sins; the blanket needs
to be large, for there is much to cover,
but the final result will be helpful, and
both countries will feel the influence
of a better civilization. The tendency
of twentieth century civilization is to
advance, and there is not likely to be
causes which shall permanently retard.
