ing talked of as the most promising guber-
material timber 1--WE liked to have said in

produced few men of Congressman Brant-

The vote on the Hall free pass bill in
the house yesterday was surprise. Not
that very many people expected it to be-
come a law, but 1t was generally under
stood that the house was going to pass 1t
along TO the senate!T But the senate, IL
seems, has grown tired Of that sort Of
thing, so it let 1t get out that if the Hall
bill got through the house, the senate
would vote unanimously to pass it. This,
1t seems, had the desired effect, and it is
said the senate will not be made the
dumping ground, for embarrassing legisla-
ton nearly so often In future.

Chairman Jim Griggs has returned to
Georgia, wearing his same old sunny
smile. And he is being justly congratu-
lated on the splendid fight he made for the
national Democracy in cutting down the
Republican majority in congress in the
face OF conditions that made a Republican
landslide seem inevitable. No man ever
displayed greater zeal and ability as the
head of the national congressional COM
mittee, and the chances are his colleagues
in congress will show their appreciation
of Chairman Griggss efforts by keeping
him at the head of the, national commit
tee, and also by adopting his suggestion
to continue the committee in active SER
vice during the next two years.

Sometimes western outlaws make a
mistake. There was a case of this
out at Roswell. New Mexico. the 9th
er day. The fellows were feeling
good when they rode into the little
town. They were also feeling devil
ish. So they lined up the entire pop
ulation Of the town at the bar of the
local saloon and compelled them to
drink the whisky that is usually
found in those frontier villages. And
right there is where the outlaws
made their mistake. The fiery stuff
furnished the citizens the courage
they lacked before. and they got af-
ter the brigands, run them out of
town and chased them up a canyen
where there was no egress. and kill
ed the last one of them. and came
back whoOping. If the outlaws had
had sense enough TO make the people
dance while they shot. and had given
them no wnIsAy. they might have had
lots of fun in that town. As il was
their mistake was fatal one.
