What glorious thrill there il in a fine
big hunts. There are all sorts of hunts. but
in their different ways, all are fine from
the hunt under the furniture for your
mothers thimble to the weeks crafty stalk
through the woods for the gallant moose.
Then there are bigger hunts STILL that have
become historical, such as the hunts for the
golden fleece and the holy grail, and above
all there is the famous hunting of the
Shark. This last hunt is the classic of all
hunts, and In analyzing the Importance ana
value of hunt it must always be meas
ured alongside the Shark episode. 1t is a
ma tier for great local pride that this city
can furnish a hunt that compares favorably
In Utmost every point with the hunting of the
Shark. This Is the hunt by the school board
for superintendent of the public schools
The local hunt is not over yet,sand when IL
Is finished it may Guido entirely the other
So far as it has gone 1t bears curious re-
semblance to the hunting of the Shark,
which simply shows how history repeats 1T
self. For instance, doesn't this description
of the Bellman in the history of the hunting
of the Shark fit the local hunters like
glove?
1.-THE Belman himself they all praised to the
Sueh carriage, such ease and such grace!
Such sole mnity. too! One could see he was wise
The moment looked In his facet
Then the plan of the local hunters TO
search the United States over from end TO
end; could the map of their proposed enter
for the Shark hunt?
t.He had bought a large map representing the sea,
without the least vestige OF land;
And the were much pleased when they found
il TO be
A map they could all understand
How fully descriptive of both hunts is
this:
1--WE have sailed many weeks, have sailed
many days
tSevcn days 10 the week allow,
But Shark on the which might lovingly gaze
We have never behed till nowi"
The description of the Shark as gwen by
the Bellman absolutely and entirely fills the
bill of what is being hunted for here In the
shape of an out-of-town superintendent.
Here is a little Of it,
LET us take them IN order The hrst IS the taste,
Which is meager and hollow. but crisp:

Father Shernan's
March to the Sea.

Father Shetman's March to the
Sea" is kicking up all kinds OF
trouble in Georgia, Notwithstanding
che assertion Of the war deparement
that the participation of United
states troops therein is simply a
practice march. The Albany (Ga)
Herald is particularly vigorous in
sts denunciation Of the march of
which it has the following to say:
Father Sherman's March to the
Sea" Is more suggestive OF the IA
rniiiar tactics Of John Alexander
Dowie, Carrie Nation, General
Coxey and others of that ilk than
the sane act Of a Roman Catholic
priest. Just as the participation of
United States troops in the expedi-
ton is more in line with what might
rather be expected Of Hayti or San
Domingo than of the leading nation
Of the Western Hemisphere.
Is it any wonder that Georgia's
blood boils in the face of this indig
nity-yea, this outrageous insult?

mo ballot cast in said primary cleo
ton without such caption and obliga-
ton shall be counted by the man
ayers"
The Birmingham AgelHerald has the
following to say relative to the Geor-
gia pledge, which it compares with the
Alabama qualifications:
The state committee in Georgia
seems much more troubled by the
speedy coming of recruits from the
ranks of pOpulists or republicans, than
it is concerned over the consolidation
Of the white vote of its state. 1t en-
phatically declares that all voters
must become organized democrats.
The difference between an organized
democrat and an unOrganized demo-
crat may be understood in Georgia,
but outside of that state the prescrib-
ed qualification for voting has the fla
vOr of the machine.
In Alabama no qualification of an
organization sort is laid down. We
give below the qualifications of voters
in our primary of August q, as fol-
lows:
That all white voters who are quail.
fled electors under the law of this
state, and who are democrats, shall
have the right to vote in such primary
election, provided, however, that no
person who opposed the last sLate and
congressional elections or voted
against any of them, shall have the
right TO vote in said primary.
THAT each and every person vot-
ing in such primary, shall by the act
of so voting and participating therein,
stand as pledged, and in honor bound
to support all the nominees of such
primary in the election and for the
offices for which such nominees are
nominated therein"
4 nc AAdudAAd DAONAb4OuS are dllO-
gether sufficient. Some indeed think
the democracy should hold the door,
open to all corners, on the ground that
while the lamp holds out to burn the
vilest political sinner may return. In
Georgia, however. he is expected to-
join the organized democracy. In Ala
bama the voter In the coming primary
pledges himself to support the nomi-
nees OF the primary in November, but
he makes no pledge beyond November.
In Georgia, he is pledged to stand byl
the organized democracy until Novem-
Der, 1908, for he is sworn into theI
national democracy, and the national
democracy does not act until that date |
in 1908. Congressional elections ere!
not national elections, and the national
democracy does not become active I'M
til 1903.
After all, the two plans are essen.
TALLY alike, but the Alabama plan has
more tact and political fairness in it
to the square inch than the Georgia
plan. The liberality Of the one stands
in contrast with the organized tactics
Of the other.
