Hot Times in Georgia


While we discussed the Georgia pro-
hibition question at some length a few
days ago, we fear that we did not do 1t
complete justice. At any rate. we are
impelled 10 have another try at It, to the
end that certain dark spots may be
illuminated As everybody knows, the
situation in the Cracker State is ex-
tremely unsettled. From Rabun Gap to
Tybee light, the heather RACES and i'm

capital, the legislature wakes wroth and
perspires freely, not to say profusely, as
the bitter and cruel warfare proceeds.

Hall appears TO have taken the Hon. Mr..
Wright's airy persifage very much to
heart-so much so, indeed, that he rushed
down the aisle and attempted to swat
the dry gentleman's classic counte-
nance. In the resulting melee, Mr.. Halls
probOsCis was violently punched. while
one OF Mr.. Wright's auricular appendages

are concerned. sereneIy and calmly until

space ia which to wonder why II is that
a second wife fares better than one first
welded. That this is so has come to be
generally accepted. One point that Mr..
Harvey makes is as 10 the greed OF man
IN the possession Of woman. He thinks
that Adam undoubtedly would have taken
more wives than Eve if he could have
spared more ribs. Here, right at the out
set. 1t is plain that the second wife might
have been better than the first for her
love for forbidden fruit might not have
been as great as that OF Eve.
one reason why the second wife receives
better treatment than the first-assuming,
for the sake Of argument. that she does
IS probably the greater knowledge Of
women that has come 10 the bereaved
husband. No one really knows a woman
until he marries her. and then. if he
finds that she is not what she seemed,
It is TOO late. IF, however, death or the
divorce court releases him and he chooses
again, he is likely 20 select with a warier
eye. The tricks AID artiaces that once

be fraught with unusual interest Il is
not often that chaplain in the military
or naval service-one who has been rec
commended by religious bodies. and who
has measured up TO the qualifications Of
personal probity TO be expected OF cler-
gymen-is brought before n court on
charges Of scandalous conduct and false
hood
Chaplain Jones, whose case appears tc
have engrossed official attention for
some tine, is now quoted as threatening
20 disclose for the benefit OF the Navy
Department. and in his own defense, a
condition Of affairs which. if it actually
exists. is remarkable and would appear
to warrant departmental consideration Of
the behavior Of some of the Rev. Mr.
Jones associates in the corps Of naval
chaplains He alleges that he has been
required to contribute from his lean sti-
pend TO the fund which was expended in
Washington IN lobbying through Con-
gress the bin which gave chaplains
chance Of promotion. He furnishes the
names Of the two chaplains-bcth OF
whom have been on duty in Washington
who are alleged TO have been Jealous in
raising this fund and he describes with
some feeling his entertainment OF the
opinion that when a body Of ministers
get together and buy legislation 10 in
crease their pay. it is time that such
heralders OF the gospel OF Jesus Christ
be abolished as a corps from the list
Of naval officers. as surely they cannot

and their country would have them be-"
Chaplain Jones recantation would seem
20 be somewhat belated. If. as the facts
appear 10 indicate. he connived with the
men whom he now excoriates. At the
same time. the statements OF the irate
chaplain IN the presence OF his accusers
are entitled TO respectful consideration
in Washington. It viii lie interesting
and profitable TO know Il naval per-
sonnel legislation is achieved ordinarily
by such sordid transactions between the
benefciaries and the lobby in Washing

mony teaches a man many lnings. The
main reason why second wives fare bet
ter. perhaps. lies in the fact that mar
riage teaches him consideration, unseltish-
ness; teaches him TO expect less and
TO be willing to give more.
And does not one ask whether second
husbands fare better than first ones?
They should. but do they? We do not pre-
tend to know The conclusion Of many
students OF the matter would seem TO be
that men learn by experience. but women
do not; that second marriage offers women

men it holds out only the inducement OF

COMMON SENSE NEEDED.
How the North Carolina TangIe
Might Have Been Avoided.

From the Hartford Times.
II is common sense more than any
thing else that has been lacking from
our politics during the past dozen years.
II might be argued that common sense
would have avoided all the present trou-
bic in North Carolina, where, as Senator
Overman says, there is no disposition TO
dispute the authority OF the Supreme
Court Of the United States finally 70 de-
termine the relations between the State
OF North Carolina and the two great rail-
way systems which furnish traffic facil-
tiles 10 its citizens Common sense might
well have saved them from the present
difficulty. if they had perceived how i'm
practicable it IS for each State TO under
take 10 fix its own maximum rate for rail-
road transportation. II Gov. Glenn
had been as wise and as well instructed
as Gov. Hughes of New York. he
would have vetoed the bill fixing ~ cents
per mile as the rate for carrying passen-
gers IN North Carolina. Common sense.
again. on the part of Judge Pritchard
might have aveTted d conflict between
his judicial power and the courts OF his
state. The best constitutions in the
world VIII not produce good government
unless common sense is used in applying
them.

PLEA FOR FAIR PLAY.
Extraordinary Nature of Problems
Confronting Federal Judges.

Confronting Federal Judges.
From the Kansas City Star.
The vast expansion Of the country. the
presentment Of new questions Of economics
and politics the fast developing interde-
pendence of all states and sections-these
factors Of our larger growth make i'm
perative the exercise by the Federal gov
ernmeut OF powers which may well
enough have lain dormant in the period
when the problems Of the people were
chiefly State and local But IN bringing
into activity these necessary wider pre-
negatives of the national government it
is Of first Importance that the people ev-
erywhere should recognize as clearly as
they can the necessity for such activity
To accomplish this result great care
should be exerted not TO override the au-
tho,ity which clearly resides with the
State.
It should be recognized by every one
that the Federal judges. from the lowest
to the highest jurisdictions, are confront
ed by difficult and exacting problems.
The burden Of the situation lies witA
them. Their obligation Is to interpret the
Constitution and the laws as they find
them. The far reaching effect Of the In
terstate commerce clause of the Consti-
tuition calls constantly for their interven-
tion-not voluntary, but enforced. In this
condition there ought TO be no undiscrim-
mating censure when a judicial view con-
flicts with an individual opinion or desire
and, on the part of the judiciary, il is
to be hoped that in the discharge of its
perplexing duties the authority contided
20 it will be exercised with the least pos
s!ble annoyance. with disposition to
allay or avoid friction, and to conciliate
public sentiment everywhere as far as
that sentiment IS reasonable and patriotic

UNIQUE FIGURE GONE.
Senator Pettus One OF South's Last
Links with Past.

From the New Yogk Tribune.
As the patriarch Of the Senate Mr.
Pettus had a congenial and conspicuous
role, filling it TO the edifcation and de-
light Of his colleagues. He did not sue
coed In connecting his name with great
enterprises and policies as MI Morgan
aid, but he was an alert and industrious
legislator whose opinions were sought and
valued He had no Oratorical vanity. and
his long experience had taught him 70
husband his speech But when he en-
gagged In debate his homely, pungent. and
natural humor delighted and often con-
vulsed the Senate. He was kindly, genial.
sincere, and simple, free from affectations,
and hater Of shams In theory OF con
duct. As a Senator his place can be filed:
but as a Southerner of the older mold. a
figure of the past recalling its vanished
traditions and associations, its outward
and inward life, he can have no successor.
