 We rather think our South Georgia contemporary has mixed the babies. as we have no recollection of having used that expression in just that way. Ia ken by itself the language would in ply that we are for a man ,vho can win. without regard to character, fitness or quality of DemocracE Tha. is not our idea of the situation. True. We want a man nominatei who will stand a good show to win but We want nim to be fit and qualified For the position and we want a real Democrat. on a real Democratic platform without any fr,lls and furbelows merely added to catch votes. In short. byv'a Democrat who can win" we mean a Democrat sure enough, not a venee-ed or imita- ton article. Does Tho Herald each the point?

The statement is made that one of the Railroad Commissioners of Kan sas by a personal inspection found SO7 rotten ties in one mile of the track of the Missouri Pacific Railroad. besides hundreds of spikes that could be easily pulled out If that statement is cor rect. and If it applies even approxi- mately to other sections, there can be no surprise at the frequency of train disasters. The wonder would be that there are not more of them and worse sones.

parture for their wedding tripf Very likely 1t had it's origin at some time in the remote past. and may have had some significance at the beginning. If 1t did, that part of it has passed away and only the silly feature remains. That 1t may be worse thao silly at times is shown by this incident related by The Newark Evening News:
 There was wedding in West New York on Wednesday. Presumably 1t point at which this comment becomes pertinent. At any rate the couple were duly married. the usual reception SssGd to take ss caas aaRas eGsRs aas
 rated. They were followed by the as- sembled company, of course. who pelted and perhaps all would have gone well had not one of the missiles intended for the bride happened to hit one of the horses attached to the carriage mai. totally unable to appreciate or understand the idiocy of an American wedding. and this particular. animal, ceeded to bolt. The bride, just enter ing the carriage, was dragged some distance. sustafning fracture of the lcB dklu OLHcT ScTlOuS l0JuTltS. Hcr father, in an attempt to check the run away. was badly wounded The car riage was dashed to pieces.
 Here was an example of what may happen through the observance of a custom which has nothing whatever to recommend it to sensible people. This case. as The News remarks, lis ex- ceptional, of course, but there Is the possibility of such disaster. or even worse, in nearly every display of the idiocy which has come to be regarded as a regular part of the wedding pro- gram in this and other countriesI Just why the solemn service which marks so grave a sacrament as that of mar riage should be followed by mobbing the high contracting parties, and with the tacit approval of everybody from the clergyman down, is a problem not to be solved by ordinary human intelli- gence. A sane man falls to understand why this most beautiful and significant ceremony should inspire the practical joker to do his worst or constra'n de- cent people to permit the outrage. The chariyari. the old shoes and the rice, and the thousand and one pranks, many of which are positively indecent in their suggestion. are all contrary to good taste, to put the matter mildly. and cer- tainIy a desecration to the holy occa- sion which they disfigure. It is bad enough to submit the groom to these intolerable indignities. but the bride. in most instances an innocent and timid girl. in virtue of her age and sex, to say nothing of the high and holy re- responsibilities upon which she is enter ing, has every title to immunity from the insults. The West New York in- cident here considered. rivets attention upon the utter foolishness and possi- ble danger of these wedding pranks, but alas. there is small prospect that it will inspire anything in the nature of reforms"

A noted Russian scientist announces 4hat he has discovered how life may be spxrionged, and The Kansas City Jour $ al suggests that "one good way Is to get out of Russia" Like much other xood advice this is of the kind that is hard to follow. No doubt some mill lions of people would rejoice to get out of Russia if means and permission could be obtained. Getting out of Rus Hia is about as difficult as getting out aDf debt.

The Indianapolis News has rubbed Brooklyn the wrong way and thereby brought down on itself the contemptu- ous wrath of The Eagle, by saying that Brooklyn, instead of being a lit erary centeE.- looks more like a lit- erary thirty cents" The Eagle informs The News that Brooklyn had a liter ary school when Indiana was dreary waste, inhabited principally by prai- rie chickens" Now will The News be good?

One of the latest agricultural prod ncts of New Jersey is called the mil Iionaire strawberry" which is now about perfected and Is expected to be on the market next year. One who writes about 1t says the berry is "as large as a potato" That is altogether too indefinite. They might just as easily have said that 1t is as large as . piece of chalk.

TO BREAK INTO SOCIETY.


 Some one has said that to get into London society you must fed people, amuse people or shock people. In New York, according to Good Housekeeping you must at least attract their atten- tion.
 Having once attracted their atten- tion you must make 1t evident, if you are an outsider. that you have some thing to bring; beauty. if it is con spicuous enough; brains, if they are coined into the small change of social intercourse: money, If you know how to use It.
 It is not enough to be we'll born, well bred, well off, well dressed educated Not a block of the residential parts of New York but is filled with people who are all of these.
 There Is another requirement. in or der to be desirable socially, namely, to have something to contribute to the general gayety. Men have grasped this fact in business. A man does not ask another for a job on the ground that there is nothing against him. But women seem to feel that an absence of any disqualification should set them In society at once.

GERMANy,s PACIFIC VIEWS
Minimize the Danger of International
 Complications Over Shah.

London. Jan 1.-The pacific views held in German official circles with re- gard to the second peace conference at The Hague even further minimize the possibility of international complica- tions as g. result of the death of the shah of Persia. At the same time the determination of Germany to maintain equal trade opportunities in Persia is noted here as being in direct conflict with the aim of the negotiations pend ing between Great Britain and Russia for the delegation of spheres of in fuence in Persia on which the two powers are nearing an agreement. In return for Great Britains acknowl- edgement of Russia's preponderating interest in tho north along the Russian frontier Emperor Nicholas will recog- nize Great Britain's interests in the south to protect the route to India. This is all Great Britain asks, it being in line with the announcement of Lord Lansdowne when foreign minister, that Great Britain would take every means in her power to prevent other coun- tAiS9 SotelDA4olllllS d lldNdl DdSS ul Ipl tified port in the Persian gulf which would menace her Indian em9ire.
 Officials here are inclined to concur in the German view that any attempt of Germany to secure political of commercial ascendency in the Persian capital would tend to unite Great Brit ain and Russia in 8 common measure of defence.
 The desire of the United States and Germany to refrain from urging Rus sia to fix date for the assembling of The Ha-ue. conference is not shared bore.
 The British government has sought to secure definite information concern ing the date, but thus far without suc- cess.
 The opinion appears to be strength ening in official quarters that the ques- ton of limitation of arnaments, how ever, commendable in theory will not command sufficient support to Dermit of it's being discussed to fnality by the conference. Considerable objection also exists to the reopening of the question of the status nf private prop erty at sea, as one of the chief sources of the British naval power is the right to cripple an enemy's merchant ship ping, the same as the warships of the United States made prizes of Spanish merchantmen after the declaration of the Spanish American war.
