Thoughtfulness in speech may be
spread over the reckless speech of
too many people. A gossip in fe-
male garb has to be tolerated, be-
cause what can you do with her?
But a gossip in trousers is the limit.
This gentlemanly lady ought to be
made to- sit on a barb wire fence in
linen duster the entire winter and
recite the Declaration of Independ-
ence every two hours during the cold
season. A good rule to live by is to
speak we'll of another or preserve a
dignified silence. Too many lives
have been wrecked; too many ca
.reers blighted; too many sensitive
people have been bowed and broken

Do not besmirch the reputation of
any human being. 1t is better to
let nine guilty ones escape than to
ruin the tenth, who is innocent. This
is a good rule to live by. 1t makes
the trials of life lighter, the world
more beautiful, and in the approach
to the eternal life there will be no
COLLINS to jump out and grin and
show their fangs. And after Won
have passed beyond this life's vic

MEANS MUCH FOR THIS SECTION.

The movement to organize an old
line legal reserve life insurance com
pany in Dawson, the full details of
which have been printed in the local
columns of The News, is an under
taking that should receive the hearty
encouragement and liberal support
not only of the people of the town
but throughout this section.
The fact that such an institution
as the Westinghouse Life Insur-
ance Company has it's general Offices
here will give Dawson a reputation
and prestige that will be of vast bene-
fit. Furthermore, it will profit this
entire section, which will feel the
good effects of a financial institution
of this character outside of the mon
ey markets of the east. 1t will keep
at home and in the channels of trade
some of the millions of dollars which
the south is annually paying as pre-
miums on life insurance policies and
sending away to enrich other Sec
tons.
There are interested in the COM
pany some of the best known and
most substantial business men of
Dawson and other towns of south
west Georgia, and it's successful or
ganization is practically assured.

A Desperate Expedient.
From the Macon telegraph.

From the Macon Telegraph.
The pension bill recently passed
by congress called for the appropria-
ton of $155, 100000, and yet there
is a plank in the platform of the
Indiana democrats which demands
that the pensions of Union veterans
be more than doubled. In the pres
ence of such expedients as this we
despair of the democratic party. If
the democrats can get into power
only by following in the wake of the
republicans and making political
capital out of a scandalously extrav-
agant pension system the old historic
organization founded on the princi-
pies enunciated by Thomas Jefferson
might as well take to it's bed, call
for the last sacrament and give up
the ghost.

About the warmest politics of the
year is up in the Tenth district,
where three are after the seat in con-
gress and are lambasting one another
in so-called joint debates. About
the most interesting development SO
far is that Billie Hardwick has
slipped Tom Watson's collar and
"hurled def" at that rantankerous
and pestiferous individual. There
was no hurting or def, however, I'M
til after Watson, who put him in
congress, gave Hardwick notice that
he could expect no further political
favors from him.

The News right cordially congrat-
ulates the Macon Telegraph on its
special edition of Sunday. 1t was an
industrial edition of sixty-two pages,
and in every way was faithful por-
trayal of the business, industrial, ag-

terests of it's city and section. TAX
ing it all in all it was one of the most
complete and generally creditable
special editions we have seen. 1t
will surely be of marked benefit to
Macon, and we cannot doubt that it
is fully appreciated.
