STUDYING THE RESULT.
From the Savannah Press.

From the Savannah Press.
Rev. John E. White, pastor of the
First Baptist church in Atlanta, and
Mr., William D. Upshaw, editor of the
Golden Age, have made haste to say
while the returns are still coming in
that the recent Brown victory in
Georgia did not presage any change
in the prohibition status. They in
form their friends emphatically that
Mr.. Brown is pledged to maintain
prohibition during his term of two
years, and that any apprehension
may be promptly relieved on that
score.
1t is a significant fact, however,
that in the vote last week many
prominent prohibitionists in Georgia
were defeated. In the First congress
siOnal district Mr.. E. K. Overstreet
pitched his platform squarely upon
prohibition. In the Second district
the Hon. Anderson Roddenbery, who
is nothing if not a prohibitionist,
and who preached the doctrine from
every stump, went down in defeat
before Judge James M. Griggs, whose
personal and political record in this
respect his opponent had attacked
The prohibition leaders lost their
cOunties-this time-Messrs. Wright
of Floyd and Covington of Colquitt
Neither one of these gentlemen, how
ever, was a candidate to succeed him
self in the legislature. We do not
know how their successors will line
up on this question. Mr.. James M.
Mason CITY attorney of Atlanta who
was defeated for congress by Col L.
F. Livingston, made his fight Oh pro-
hibitiOn lines. Mr.. H. Y" McCord,
who ran for the state senate in the
thirty-fifth district against Hon.
John M. Slaton, was a square out
prohibitionist. He was the gentle
man who framed the pen with which
the governor signed the prohibition
bill. Mr.. McCord was defeated by
several hundred votes in Fulton. OF
course it will be some time before we
shall know exactly how the next leg
islature stands with reference to pro-
hibitiOn. 1t may be accepted as true
that the Anti-Saloon League is look
ing into this matter very carefully,
and that the other side is watching it
pretty closely, too.
Of the candidates for speaker of
the house two out of three are
against prohibition. Hon. John M.
SlatOn of Atlanta, who is running
for president of the senate, and Hon
Julian B. McCurrie of Hart, who is
running for president pro tenn of the
senate, are neither of them prohibit
tiOnists so far as is known

BY E. L. RAINEY,
CAN TAFT BE ELECTED?

The democrats have good reason to
h satisfied with the developments
wnich point to the nomination of Mr..
Taft for president by the republican
convention, which is now in session
in Chicago.
Harper's Weekly believes that he
cannot. Proceeding to give the rea-
SON for it's faith on this point it cites
ev-TTnited States Senator William E.
Chandler, who in letter addressed
to Senator Gallinger, Governor Jor-
dan and the other delegates from
New Hampshire to Chicago names
seven reasons why the choice OF Tart
for the republican standard bearer
would be dangerous. These reasons
are: first, the hostility OF the colored
voters to Taft; secondly, the miscon-
duct of the federal office holders in
manipulating the state conventions
in many of the southern states third
". the vast expenditures of Taft mon
ev in the prosecution of his cam
paign for the nomination; fourthly,
the abandonment of the antitrust
and anti-pooling laws; sixthly, the
hostility of the labor organizations;
and, seventhly, the combination OF
Taft supporters with the race track
supporters in New York against Gov
ernor Hughes.
An additional reason, and one that
will appeal strongly to many voters,
is given by the Augusta Herald.
1t is that the republican party
have to bear the odium of the
panic The republican party gain
ed it's tremendous majority four years
ago largely on the full dinner pal"
and the empty dinner pail will in like
manner cause it to lose many votes.
If the number of unemployed in the
northern cities is as large as it has
been claimed to be it will, as the
Herald says, cause the loss of many
votes to the republican party, no mat
ter who the nominee may be.
AS matters now stand if Mr.. Taft
is made the republican nominee the
democrats will have a better chance
TO win than they have had since
1892. ........ ...-.. -....

THE PARDON OF POWERS.

The news that the governor of
Kentucky has pardoned Powers and
Howard, who we're held for the muir
der of Governor Goebel, ends a long
and tragic case. Goebel was shot
down more than eight years ago as
he entered the state house grounds
just after the legislature declared,
after hard and bitter contest, that
he had been elected governor of Ken
lucky. The stirring and sensational
scenes of that time and the four trials
which have since occurred of Caleb
Powers, the republican secretary of
state, are familiar to newspaper read
ers.
This is case in which the public
is worn out with the issue, and the
men who have languished in prison
during a democratic administration
have seen a republican administra-
ton come in, and have secured their
freedom after many reverses. Their
friends have all along contended that
they were convicted because of politi-
cal bitterness and prejudice This
conclusion has doubtless helped them
in emerging from the charges. The
men who killed Goebel have never
been found. If these are not the
guilty parties it is fair to say that
the real criminals will never be ap-
pretended.
1t is a terrible and tragic thing
that such cold-blooded crime should
be unavenged, and the perpetrators
go unwhipped of justice.

Think.

When the clouds of gloom are black
est,
And when the skies are dark as ink;
Get away from things distracting.
Quit the sham, the useless acting.
Draw away from all the hustle,
All the turmoil and the hustle,
Go somewhere alone, and think.
When you're facing problems mighty
And you stand upon the brink.
Steal an hour from the battle,
Leave it's glamour, quit its rattle.
Draw away from all the hurry,
From the men and man-made worry
And, alone in silence, think.
All, the mighty men who conquer.
And the men whose words we drink
Are the men who quit the jangle.
Quit the turmoil and the wrangle
Of the world, and turn their faces
To secluded, silent places,
Where in solitude they think

HEART TO HEART TALKS.

MURDEROUs WORDS.


cruel speech that cuts like knife.
We forget that every rash spasm
of hatred momentarily INDUCED has
in it, to some degree at least, the
murder motive. 1t was not without
knowledge of the human heart that
the Nazarene gave utterance to the
ominous declaration, Whose hateth
! his brother is a murderer" That is
to say, the motive is the essence of
the crime. All our laws and our
moralities are based on motive.
In her repentance that came too
late this woman must have felt and
will always feel thai it was her harsh
and unfeeling words that drove her
husband to his death.
And the moral of it?
You by your hateful speech
may not drive your dear ones to the
verge of despair, but by the manner
of your spiteful or caustic utterances
you may wound them to the very
core. They may not retort in kind,
but you can make their lives scarcely
worth the living.
A blow in the face is infinitely to
be preferred to the spiteful thrust
of ungenerous comment.
Words may be murderOus things.
Happy are we if we have really
learned to practice the blessed truth
that a soft answer turneth away
, wrath"

After each boy found the apron he

a needle and thread and stitch the

who did the best sewing would get

But for our own the bitter tone,
BY EDWIN A. NYE.


Though we love our own the best.
Go jump into the lake and drown
YOURSELF" exclaimed Mrs. Joseph
Garrow of Chicago to her husband.
They had been quarreling about
nothing in particular.
Garrow did not answer. but sat
down and wrote note, and immedi-
ately went out and threw himself
into the lake.
Perhaps the man was temporarily
insane.
But the great pity of it came to
the sobbing wife, who moaned over
the mans dead body; ''Oh, Joe;
deary, l didn't mean it that way! |
was only joking. Oh, Joe, l didn't
mean it that way"
OF course she did not mean it that
way.
Nor do we mean it who speak the
bitter words to those who are most
dear to us.
What, then, do we mean?
We mean simply to make the sharp
retort, to return word for word, to
get even," which is not at all a
laudable thing. And as the quarrel
grows passion mounts. Anger and
temporary madness take the place
of judgment and discretion And at
1.-The last word" a quick hatred is
famed into life which dictates the
