TIE PASSING OF DOG-DAYS.

When the presenS week shall have
closed, dog-days will be practically a.
an end. According to the theory of the
ancient Romans the dog-star, Sirius
rising with the sun during about six
weeks Of the hottest weather Of the
summer added its heat to that Of the
sun.
Be that as it may, the added heat Of
these dog-days, through which W.
have recently been passing, originated
mainly in the warm political campaign
that has been waged for several weeks
over all parts of Georgia We haven t
felt the oppressive, humid heat Of dog
days as We often experience them. but
the heat OF political discussions ana
political gatherings has caused people
to spend more energy than the most
oppressive dog-days could have done.
Two large political stars in the Geor-
gia armament, not to mention the large
arrangement Of lesser twinklers for
various offices. have risen each day
witt the sun, as they were extolled by
their various friends and newspaper
champions, adding heat to that Of Ola
Sol and heat which has not always
ceased with the setting OF tie sur.
Rival political meetings have called
the farmers of the state from thet-
work, as well as the people of cities
The rabidity Of the charges ana
| counter-charges that have been made
have riyalled the deadly virus of tho
mad-dog, which is said to flourish like
a green bay tree in these warm, moist
days There are many things that
each side doubtless wishes had been
left unsaid. The solemn promise wa,
made to the people of Georgia by both
candidates before the campaign began
that personalities and mud-slingina
would be dispensed with. but the only
improvement noticed was that it has
been less marked than in the precea-
ing campaign. For this relief mucf
thanks, as it will probably be many
and many a moon before a vig0rou.
political campaign can be waged in
Georgia without some mud-slinging
and personalities.
Now, it is practically all over but
the casting and counting of the bal
lots. The people Of the state may draw
a sigh of relief ana await the results
though many a partisan cannot even
await the counting wit any degree o.
equanimity or calm. BY the time taa
sun sets, probably several hours b9-
fore, the news atherers-who alwas
get in the lime-light at the wind-up-
viii complete tieir task Of telling wh1
won. After taat-it is the people

CAN ROOSEVELT aC0ME BACKr,

The first effort made by Colonel
Roosevelt to become the leading fac
Iro in New York republican politics
again has been nipped in the bud by
a decisive vote against the former
president, when his name was pre-
scented for election as temporary chair
man of the New York republican con-
vention
| The news dispatches state that the
party bosses lined up squareIy against
the former president and elected Vice
President Sherman TO The place which
Roosevelt had consented to fiji in case
he was elected. The action Of tie
convention leaves no doubt tlat the
| bosses are in power in New York aad
that they evidently are out for the
scalp OF Roosevelt.
What Colonel Roosevelt will do,
now thai he has received sharp
check at the lands of the New York
republican machine. is lett to coniec-
ture. He can either hit back at the
men who have opposed him, or help
preserve TIE integrity Of the party or
ganization by letting matters alone. II
would be interesting to know what
course the colonel win pursue in this
particular.
If Colonel Roosevelt insists on
fighting out the matter with the New
York bosses, lhere can be but little
doubt that things viii wax intensely
interesting and tpat the Republican
party in that state would be material
iy weakened by the internal struggle.
Even if Roosevelt does not contest the
matter his friends viii certainly have
the sulks and feel that they have
gotten the worse end of tie deal. Ia
either case it seems that the New
York democracy should be helped by
the trend matters are now taking in
the affairs Of tie republican party Of
that state.

SIDE AUTO TIRES WIN
PRAISE OF MOTORISTS
Forty-Four Makes of Machines to
Be Equipped with Goodyears

Speaking of the straight side auto
tire, W. =. Newerf said the other day:
This type of tire offers so many
advantages over the clincher or hook
ed-foot style that Goodyear detachable
auto tires have steadily forged ahead
on merit alone FOrty-four makes Of
automobiles will be equipped with
Goodyears the coming season. No
greater proof of Goodyear economy,
efficiency and wear could be cited, for
manufacturers buy tires for perform
ance, and they know what they must
have
Even though Goodyear straight side
tires be ridden for long distances alb
solutely flat. as is sometimes neces-
sary. they will not creep nor come off
the rim No tire bolts are needed, for
the piano wire tape used in their con-
struction overcomes this Neither will
these tires rim-cut under the same
conditions, no matter how rough the
road or how rugged the surface may
be- The broad, rounding rim surface,
possible only with these tires, does
away with all sharp edges There is
nothing to cut the tires Unless the
hooked foot tires are kept inflated TO
the limit the tire will rim-cut, because
of the sharp edge on the rim flange
and because the entire load Of the au-
tomobile is carried on these sharp
edges. These are important matters
to consider in the use Of tires
