CURRENT COMMENT
KNOWLEDGE,

If only we could see what lies ahead,
If only we could look beyond to-
morrow's portals,
wonder if we should, absolved from
dread,
Be happy-visaged and cOntented
mortals?
Would ali the hate and heartaches dis
appear,
Would giee blot out all memories
of sorrow-~
Would courage come 10 take the place
of fear
If we could see what lies beyond to-
morrow?
If we could know what destinies the
fates
Are shaping now for us who blindly
blundeF,
And oft In vain assault forbidden
gates,
How would the knowledge profit us,
| wonder,
Would failure cease to break the
hearts of men?
Would nights deep, silent darkness
lose its terror?
Would he that ought to dig lay down
the pen?
Would all who stumble cease to
grOpe in error?
We know that right is right, that
wrong is wrong,
That thus it was ordained at times
beginning;
We know that honors to the wise be-
long,
That sorrow is the heavy price of
shining,
Yet foolishly we sin and venture
where
The currents, soon or late. will
draw us under;
If somehow all the future were laid
bare,
How would 8eholding profit us, l
wonder?

There seems to be no doubt now
that ex-Goy. Smith has been using all
of his influence with members of the
Legislature affiliated with his faction
to secure the endorsement of his
action in removing McLendon. While
McLendon erred in fooling with the
street railway bonds the conduct of
the former Governor in holding pri-
vate caucuses to influence legislative
action is far from commendable

enough to get through d bill modify

The wiser course would seem TO be
to let the prohibition question alone

not be at all responsible for it, but he
is fortunate in the fact that the first
year of his administration is blessed

The Atlanta Journal has been
caught red handed in another of its
bare faced fakes. 1t published Satur-
day, with great head letters, a private
statement alleged to have been made
by Gov. Brown that he would veto
the near-beer bill if it passed. The
governor emphatically denies ever
having expressed any such determi-
nation. Considering the past honesty
OF the Journal in matters political we
will accept the governors statement
with out the slightest hesitancy.

Rev. DR.. John E. White, of Atlanta,
does not hesitate to expose the game
that is being played through the Alex
ander near beer measure. AS he
points out, it is politics pure and SIM

danger to prohibition in Georgia
comes from those who are prohibi-
bitionists for political ends and using
it for selfish personal reasons.

The Rome Tribune opposes any in
crease in the occupation tax on cor

they have just passed through The
Tribune's arguments have an air of
true wisdom about them.

New England doesn't take at all
kindly to the suggestion of an income
tax. New England has been so ac-
customed to taxing the rest of the
country that the idea of being called
on to pay taxes on the wealth it has
accumulated from the South and West
is peculiarly abhorrent to it.
