"UPON WHAT MEAT"

The Augusta Herald thrashes
around at tremendous rate because
some citizen might so utterly disreg-
ard precedent as to offer to run
against Gov. Smith. 1t appears espec-
tally panied when it walls: LAS it has
been the unbrOken precedent in this
state for the governor to serve two
terms, a precedent so regularly fol-
lowed as to make it an ~unwritten law
it was not thought that anybody would
announce against him.
But the worst of the nightmare with
which the Herald is afflicted is that
that hateful Mr. Brown is mentioned
It's like shaking a red flag in front
of bull. Why claims the Herald in
substance, that fellow was fired by
Gov. Smith, and of course that forev-
er puts a stamp of counterfeit" on
him.
Further on, to bolster up it's candi-
date, the paper afirms that Gov
Smith is stronger with the people
today than he was when he beat four
candidates" If the Herald really
| believes such a statement, it has bur-
led his head in the sand, where il
could neither see or hear what is 60
ing on
In another place in the same arti-
Gle, the Herald says: Men do some.
times enter a hopeless race, for rea
sons that are not made public" Their
again they enter for reasons which
they publicly announce, as in the case
of Hon. Joseph NJ. Brown. The in
nuendo in the Herald's remark is no
worth noticing.
There is a good saying about be
ing able to fool some of the peopl
all the time, and all of the people SOM
of the time, but when it comes t.
hoodwinking all the people all tn
| time, the scheme is rank failure
Such a bugaboo as the second tern
precedent should not be allowed t.
be used as battle axe to slaughte
the states best interests. If MI
Brown can be induced to enter tn
race, the esteemed Herald will b.
rudely shocked in it's estimate of tn
popularity" of Gov Smith we fear

LONG HAUL
FOR LUMBER

An Australian corporation has just
received a concession from the Rus
sian government to take out thirty
million feet of timber year from a
forest in Siberia, nine hundred miles
from Vladivostok, to be delivered in
Melbourne, Australia, approximately
eight thousand miles away, and near
ly three times the distance from New
York to San Francisco.
1t is likely that no numbering oper-
alton of recent years more strongly
illustrates the pinch in the timber
supply in all parts of the world In
the news of the concession, is the
suggestion of the difficulty that all
countries may have to encounter in
getting the wood which they need
in the future. Every year timber
cruisers are going further and fur
Their afield and cutting trees which,
in former times of abundance, they
passed because of the inaccessibility
of the forest.

Atlanta is talking about issuing
one million of bonds to beautify the
city. In the meantime Mr. Hugh T.
Inman has offered to buy a pump
costing $4,000 for the city, trust
ing to future councils to repay him
1t would strike the average common
sense that it would be better to use
some of the proceeds of the pro-
posed bond issue to repaying Mr..
Inman rather than toward work of
beauty.

The late Bishop Saterlee once said
that living in apartment houses, while

the strong home feeling and to that

CONVICT ASKED TO

Better Than Jibes of Eel

NEW YORK. Feb. 25.-(Special)-
A story published in a morning pa

Sing Sing on the part of a paroled
prisoner who preferred to spend the
| remainder of his sentence inside the
walls rather than to be exposed to
| the jibes of his fellow Workmen had

peared before Magistrate Barlow in
the Night Court Monday evening, and
at his own solicitation was put in the
| Jefferson Market Prison over night,
while consideration was given to his
strange plea to be sent back to
| Sing Sing.
In June, 1906, O,Connell was con-
victed Of grand larceny in the second
degree and sent up for a term, of
| from one to four years. In Sing
| Sing he made a good record. A little
| while after his minimum sentence

| his parole. In October he was parol-

| The ex-convict's parole paper says
that he shall proceed at once to the
| place of employment provided for
him; that he shall work steadily, hon
estly, and soberly, and that he shall
| make a monthly report to the prison
authorities concerning himself, in
Guiding his income, expenses, home
| and business addresses, and so. on.

would say And it was true.
But the changes they would ring
on that word, and the laughing and

O'Connell wiped his forehead and
twisted his hands together. He had
quit work two weeks ago, he said
unable to endure the torture of his

He wanted to go far away, to Pan
ANA, where no one knew him, and
he could begin all over again. He
could have left the country cas-
/ lily enough.
Couldn't Run Away
That was what he was considering
he said, during the two weeks that he
walked the streets and thought But
he was bound by his word not tc
run away; he was only out on parole
4 If he should run away that would be
another black mark against him. AnC
for that reason, he said, he walked
desperately into the Night Court or
Monday and said to the Magistrates:

THE old game was undoubtedly
one of too much mass play and close
formation; the ball was seldom visible,
and the actions OF the players were
too much concealed.
The new game is much more open
than anything we have seen FOR 15
years; and the end is not yet.
