THE CONGRESSIONAL CAM
PAIGN.


The congressional campaign is still
in it's early stages, but the lines on
which it is to be fought out are clear
ly marked. The record of the present
administration, together with the
promise it holds out Of seeing the
general welfare uplifted by virtue Of
having had it's hands strengthened in
many ways by recent action of con-
gress is to be the pillar of the repuD-
lican platform.
With the presidents own state as
the most hotly contested point in the
battlefield, and the president himself
as now seems probable, sounding the
keynote, the rare sight of president
on the stump in an off year will in
vest the struggle with peculiar inter
est And quite beyond all experience
will the general interest be enhanced
should former President Roosevelt
confirm Oyster Bay gossip by electri-
flying New York audiences with APP
peals in support of the national admin
istration Present indications point
to the rallying Of powerful forces TO
heal internal dissensions and return
republican majority in the lower
house Of congress.
The party leadership is keenly alive
to the existence of some dissatisfac-
ton in the Middle West, but as this
feeling does not extend to President
Taft and his policies, with a single eX-
ception, it is confidently held that the
reaction which is already plainly evil
dent can be given sufficient impetus by.
November to carry the day.
The democratic platform, according
to THE exuberant outlying of the
chairman of the congressional COM
mittee, will set forth as the issues the
tariff, extravagant expenditures, Off
cial wrong-doing, graft throughout
the government service and the auto
cratic ruling of the majority party.
This Indictment is singularly lacking
in substance and deAniteness, con-
trasted with the one they had in mind
only two months ago, and yet the
committee fatty asserts that the later
work of congress has served to make
democratic chances brighter than
ever.
Chairman Clark, who sang of the
stars in a Fourth of July Grafton at
Tammany Hall, declared that demo
cratic opportunity lies in republican
dissension, but he admitted the power
could not be wrested from that party
without a terrific struggle. Some
woIks seem to think said Mr.. Clark,
that all we have to do is to stand
still and see the salvation of the Lord.
such confidence may cost us dear
Manifestly, the sober coioring of MI
Clarks rainbow was not drawn from

OUR HOMESTEAD.
(Phoebe Carey.)


Our old brown homestead reared its
wallis
From the wayside dust aloof
Where the apple boughs could almost
cast
Their fruit upon it's roof;
And the cherry tree so near it grew
That when awake I've lain
In the lonesome nights I've heard the
limbs
AS they creaked against the pane;
And those orchard trees, oh those or
chard trees!
I've seen my little brothers rocked
In their tops by the summer breeze,
Our homestead had an ample hearth,
Where at night We loved to feet.
There my mothers voice was always
kind,
And her smile was always sweet;
And there I've sat on my fathers knee
And watched his thoughtful brow
With my childish hand in his raven
hair
That hair is silver now,
But that broad hearth's light, oh that
broad hearths light!
And my fathers look and my moth
er's smile
They are in my heart tonight.

ANOTHER GOOD REASON FROM
GOV. BROWN.
augusta ChrOnicle.)

But if you want still another right
good reason why Gov. Brown didn't
grab those 81 acres of bottom" land
for the state of Georgia is this:
He was able to secure an option
on far better terminal site, contain
ing 234 acres for $5S,500, or $10,500
less than was asked for the 81 acres.
Why, this saving alone is more than
enough to pay the commission" on
the sale of that Chattanooga E0t-
tom--if so be there was a commits
sion" involved in the transaction.
Inasmuch, therefore, as the state OF
Georgia is engaged in owning a rail
road and buying lands, etc, let's be
fair enough to look further into the
matter, in a common sense, business
like way, and see whether or not the
Legislature was about to make a bad
trade for US and whether or not Gov
Brown hasn't found us a better prop
ositiOn. Here is what a railroad ex-
pert and civil engineer says about the
234 acres, which We can buy for So
800 less than we would have had Il
pay for the 81 acres:
81 have the honor to report that ]
have carefully examined the Evans
tract of land lying along and on the
Western and Atlantic railroad, begin
ming at a point $500 feet east OIL
South of the depot at Boyce's Station
and extending along said W. & A. rail
road and on both sides thereof, fol
distance of one and one-quarteI
miles. Said tract contains 234 IL acres
according to the survey (Here fol

property and suggestions as to II.
comparatively light and inexpensive
work necessary to convert it into
terminal) l beg to say that in my
judgment that this tract is by ia,
the best that has been offered, ant
is well adapted to the uses intended
In fact | do not know of any othe1
tract that is nearly so desirable, an(
in my opinion the state will make III
mistake in acquiring the property"
Not only ''the best that has beer
offered more of it, and fal
cheaper. Just lat acres more termina
for $10,500 less money. Well it looks
to US like Governor Brown has beer
doing some pretty good trading" fo1
THE state; first, in refusing to clost
that other trade, and, then, in securing
for us an option on better propert,
and more of it for less money
Surely, the legislature will not fai
to give him a vote of thanks for hi
foresight and wisdom in this matter
What a good thing for the state q
Georgia that she had a governor wht
happened to know more about thi
particular transaction than a legisla
tive committee and a lot of legislator
who knew nothing about it.
But, we suppose, the railroad EEK
perts" in the legislature, and scat
tered throughout the state-some 0
whom have never seen Chattanooga
and wouldn't know a railroad termina
from coupling pin-will continue +
give it as their view that seri0u
mistake was made when Gov Brow
refused to let the state of Georgia fal
into this trap.

Turkish navy is nothing the Turkish
army which can very well reach Egypt
by land is a more serious factor.
THE Kaiser may easily be imagined
creating an Egyptian war before he

British fleet to dimensions, which he
can very well manage.
The German Government knows
very well that in order to save the

to be done with greater ease than by
defeating England, say two years from
