NOW FOE THE BATTLE.

The Republican national convention
convened in Chicago last week, and af-
ter torty-fye minutes yelling for Roose-
welt, let all their steam eff, and whirled
in and nominated Secretary of War
VIM. II. Taft, of Ohio for president,
and Congressman James S. Sherman, of
New York, for vice-president
| The ticket is strong and clean one,
and will have no trouble in rallying the
entire strength Of the Republican vote
throughout the country to its support.
The Republicans fought each other
hard in the convention, and some Of the
most prominent leaders had their toes
mashed by the "big machine" at Wash
| ington, and their feelings hurt, but
while this is true, they will soon forget
their anger, and their sores will be
healed, aud they will line up to man
for Taft. How different is such conduct
and feeling which actuate the Demo-
cratic sticklers AS the Macon News
says, some of our leaders are sulking yet
over the first nomination of Bryan. We
have not the Democratic virtue of bow
ing to the will Of the majority like our
Republican brethren. They outpoint US
in this great principle of our own party.
They know, and we do not, how to fight
among themselves, and then close up
ranks and present solid front to the
enemy. Take as an illustrious example
OF the way Democrats feel when they
are put out of control of the party. Da-
vid B. Hill, who, on the eve Of his de-
parture for Europe few weeks ago,
gave out the announcement that Bryan
has sent the Democratic party to hell, "
One of the usual fashions CT digruntled
Democrats is to start out and form q
new party, as the Palmer and Buckner
folks did few years ago. If the DEM
ocrats are to win victories before the
people, they have got to learn the great
Democratic virtue, bowling to the will
OF the party, as expressed by the ma
jority from the enemies, the Republi-
| cans.

MARIETTA CANNING FACTORY.

Very few people are aware of the fact
that Marietta has the largest and best
equipped canning factory in Georgia,
and yet this is true. Colonel f. 2.
Green, it's efficient president, has put
this factory on good paying basis. In
the last two years he has put in s. 900
worth OF the latest improved ard best
machinery. He has just installed a
hydraulic peeling machine that cost
81 900 Bought it outright, without
paying any royalty for its use, as most
all the other factories have to do.
There we're only two of these machines
that could be bought, and he got one of
them. 1t was good piece of luck, but
it came his way
The Marietta Canning Fectory now
has the capacity of turning out $4,000
three-pound cans per day, The fruit
put up is the incest, cleanest and best
preserved of any on the market, and
meets with ready sale. The plant is
worth $4,000, and has just begun on it's
career of usefulness and good results.
They commence this week in canning
for the summer season, and will make
things hum.
The Journal feels proud Of this splen-
did industry, and wish it continued sue
cess.

Singing a Lullaby

Twas beautiful day when she sailed away,
And never cloud in sight.
Or hint Of the storm in the darkness born
That was coming before the night
OF one accord were the men on board
To cruise for merry sail;
And courage Of heart on sailors part
Has never been known to fail.
But the eyes grew dim. at the ship so tim.
OF the women along the shore;
For crews as gay had sailed away
And had never been heard Of more.
For Of tenderer mold is the womans soul.
And her heart lies in a tear.-
A long. long sigh. and a last "Goodby."
And the loved are no longer near.

She sings Of the sea. Of its pillows free,
OF the ship that is far away.
OF the seagulls white as they dip at night
In the foam Of the tossing spray.
She sings to her hean a song apart,
And its sweetness brings sigh;
For her husbands kiss is remembered bliss
AS she sings her lullaby.
And then in the room IN the gathering gloom.
Watching the stars on high.
She kisses the boy with an amorous JOY
As he starts with sudden cry.
In his baby dream did the awful scene
OF the wreck fash on his eye,
While the waiting wife in the Joy Of life
Sat singing her lullaby.

Then back go the wives to their lonely lives
(For they have no time to feel).
And they work away till the close Of day
And the time for the evening meal:
While there on the heath in the aftermath
The kettle sings its song.
And the end has come when the prayers are d.
To the day that has seemed so long.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1908-11-01

In her simple home by the sea. alone
Save for the babe at her breast,
Sits grlish wife in the joy Of life
Rocking her child to rest.
She dreams Of the past and the love to last
(But not Of the danger nigh:
And she rocks in her chair by the window there
And she sings lullaby.

Thousands upon thousands of vis- itors, made up for the most part of the most charming bits of feminlnity, swarm over the post to see their respective he roes leap from the chrysalis form of ca det to that of the full-dedged officer in Uncle Sans service.

kind, likewise of the highest value. "A place for everything and everything in its place" Is the rule at West Point. Bed ding, when not in use, must be folded and piled In q particular place and in particular manner; shoes must be neatly aligned at the foot of the bed: clothing must be carefully folded and kept in pre- scribed places and everything must be scrupulously clean. To enforce these re qurements. which have to do with dress and personal appearance. numerous ln- spcctions are made. ard thus from the
 first the cadet Is taught 10 pay the strict est attention to the neat and orderly care of his rooms and belongings and to habits of wholesome cleanliness. Swimming and dancing are taught shortly after the cadets entrance to the academy, since 1t has been found that both forms of exer- else aid materially in overcoming that awkwardness glaringly apparent in the candidate. Fencing, of course, is in the curriculum. and that too. not only aids in hardening muscles. but adds the free dom of movement and grace so essential.

of grace and daring Along this line Is the instruction received In field artillery drill. Here they are instructed to per form not only the duties of the officers. but those of the noncommlssioned officers and enlisted men as well. and as drivers, to be able to handle a pair of the six horses assigned to a field gun. to guide the gun through the various eyOlutions of the battery and to bring It into any posi- tion at any gait from a walk to the flerc- est gallop. During the summer encamp- ment all academic work is suspended, and the cadets go into encampment and their entire attention Is given over to military duties and exercises. Infantry. cavalry and artillery drills, target practice and long practice marches fill up the working hours. while hops and concerts. golf, ten nis, riding. boating, walks and numerous fiirtatiOns furnish recreation and add d spice of gayety to season that passes all too quickly.
 As September approaches plans for breaking camp and the return to winter quarters are made. By this time the plebe has had an opportunity to accus- tom himself to the radical change of environment.

Whether this be true or not, one fact stands boldly forth; almost superhumAu efforts have been and are being made to recruit our standing army up to is full strength, as pre- s.rihed by Congress. This, of course, means that q much larger complement of officers of all grades Is necessary to com meud the various companies. troops. bat tcries. engineering corps, regiments and battalions which go to make up the vari- ous arms of the service.

September l sees the plebe well grounded in the evolu- tions and the manual of arms, and for the succeeding three years and nine months the training of the mind goes steadily on.
 The study period begins with the re- turn to barracks, and from then until the first of the following June it is safe to assert that the average time spent In study each day Is far in excess of that spent by the students of any civil in- stitutiOn in the country. As a general rule the course is identlcally the same for all, the only exception being that a few men at the top of the class are sometimes required to do more extended work along certain lines than Is de- manded of the others. Thus IL can be seen that competition is keen, for the men graduating at the top Of each class are assigned to the highest arm of the seryice-the engineer corps. Thorough ness Is the keynote at West Point. and a system that has become known as Every man every day in every sub ject'' has been handed down from class to class since the days when Lee and Grant were humble plebes at the Point The division of time Is carefully made. Certain hours are allotted to study, others to recitation. others to physical and military exercises. others to sleep and meals. with still others to recreation Every minute in the 24 hours of day and night are accounted for, and with un- varying punctuality the" beginning and end of each period Is announced by the roll of a drum or the blare of bugle. In ths elaborate process of instruction and development there is little rest and no turning aside. Only onee-and this at the end of the second year-does an entire class get a furlough to return 10 their homes for few brief weeks of change and relaxation. The four years spent at West Point are years of un- remittIng toll and unreIa king discipline. Habits of study are formed and become so firmly fixed that they are never out grown: the knowledge of how to study gained is never forgotten and capacity for work Is acquired that seldom. even In the most trying circumstances, Is put to the full test -
 Four years of life under this environ ment and course of instruction must be productive of the highest and best re- suits. That these results are appre- ciated by the people at large Is attested by the fact that in a spot made grand and inspiring by nature and hallowed by patriotic remembrances of the struggle for unity and national existence. Con- gress has made a more than generous appropriation for reconstructing the home of the soldier on a scale commensurate with its national and even international importance
