The average monkey has but little
sense and the flat-head has none.
Unlike the average simeon, the fiat
head is of particularly vicious tenn
permanent, making itself personally in
sulting and offensive without provoca-

brought to taw with the lash.
And there is a journalistic flat-head
in Atlanta who is true to the instinct
Of the tribe, and whose lamentations
at being brought to a sudden halt in
his vicious and insulting career is
scarcely less than pitiable.
OF rhinoceros hide and utterly with
out delicacy of temperament or the
average instinct of gentleness, he
hasn't sense enough to know when he
is personally offensive, and now tries
to draw diagram illustrating his stu
pidity-with which the public has long
been familiar.
1t required but little more than a
year for the public to catch on to his
game, and when it called it down, the
rebuke was sufficiently emphatic to
leave it's impress.
But it did not.
Ever since then he has constituted
himself the special patron saint of the
Lost Cause of Sham Reform, and al
whatever criticism of any public act
OF any official, he has felt impelled to
tie himself to the coat-tails of the OBJ
Ject of this criticism-about whatever

the etiquette of gentlemanly discus
sion to take the route of the fish mon
ger and the guttersnipe
And he has adopted the method of
the thug once too often!
We are not responsible for this, but
the self-respect of a decent newspa-
per impelled us in yesterdays issue to
put period to the patience with
which we have stood the stupid activi-
ties of this thing in Georgia journal
ism.
Exaggerated ego is tolerable and ex-
plicable in lunatic like Thaw, but
we do not intend that this unfortunate
temperament shall give this particu-
lar "sorehead" free license to bully
rag every man in Georgia who exer-
else the right to comment on public
matters-and particularly where he
is in nowise involved in the criticism.
When he is personally attacked, he
may come back in kind, but when he
interposes his bungling avoirdupois
into a discussion in which he had no
part, and becomes personally insolent
as is his habit-he may as well UNI
derstand now that his hide will be
lifted every time and that he will be
given as good as he sends.
1t is painful to do it, but sometimes
it is the only way to bring bully to
terms!
If this one hasn't the sense to APP
preciate decent treatment-as has
been our desire to personally accord
him-he must take his own medicine
and stand the consequences without
yelping.

A WOMAN IN HIGH STATION.
New York World.

Mrs Ella F. Young would have been
superintendent of Schools in Chicago
long ago if she had not been a woman
She receives the honor now chiefly in
recognition of admitted fitness, but
partly because no man appeared on
whom the Board of Education could
agree.
Physically small but mentally broad,
a born teacher, dynamo of energy.
possessing wide knowledge not only
of pedagogy but of the world, fine
speaker and no stranger to the legit-
innate arts of the politicians, Mrs.
Young, though she follows many dis
tinguished educators in the place, is
probably better equipped for the service
than any of them. She has passed a
lifetime in public school work in Chi
cago. She is familiar with its history
and with all of it's problems. Assum-
ing now one of the most important adj
ministrative positions ever held by an
American woman, she may, because
she is a woman, succeed where men
have failed.
In the management of Chicago's
school system politics of the small
mercinary and vicious sort has long
been predominant Expenditures have
been heavy and the patronage great
Besides politics, religious, social and
racial considerations have appeared
mischievously, and where men have
not been trapped by one pitfall they
have gone to destruction in another
Her sex will protect Mrs. Young from
some of these perils; her wisdom and
experience may enable her to avoid
the others.

There is more Catarrh in this sec
ton of the country than all other
diseases put together, and until the
last few years was supposed to be in
durable. For a great many years
doctors pronounced it a local disease
and prescribed local remedies, and
by constantly failing to cure with
local remedies, pronounced it incur
able. Science has proven catarrh to
be a constitutional disease and there
fore requires constitutional treat
ment. Halls Catarrh Cure, manufac-
tured by F. G. Cheney & Co., Toledo,
Ohio, is the only constitutional cure
on the market. 1t is taken internally
in doses from 10 drops to a teaspoon
full. 1t acts directly on the blood
and mucous surfaces of the system.

any case it fails to cure. Send for
