ROOSEYELTISMS FROM
THE BERLIN SPEECH

The play of new forces is as
evident in the moral and spir-
itual world as in the world Of
the mind and body. Forces for
good and forces for evil are ev-
erywhere evident, each acting
with a hundred or a thousand
fold the intensity with which il
acted in former ages.
One Of the prime dangers Of
civilization has always been its
tendency to cause the loss OF the
virile virtues Of the fighting edge.
When men get too comfortable
and lead too luxurious lives
there Is always danger lest the
softness eat like an acid into
their manliness Of fiber.
We cannot afford to develop
any one set of qualities. any one
set Of activities. at the cost or
seeing others, equally necessary.
atrophied.
There has never been greater
need Of a high and fine religious
spirit than at the present time.
It would be worse than folly
on our part to ignore our need
Of intellectual leadership.
Unjust war is TO be abhorred;
but woe 10 the nation that does
not make ready 10 hold it's own
I'm time of need against all who
would harm IL.
Finally, this world movement
of civilization, this movement
which Is now felt thrObbinE I'm
every corner Of the globe. should
bind the nations Of the world to-
gether. while yet leaving unim-
paired that love OF country in the
individual citizen which is es-
sentiaI 10 the worlds well being.

Hon. Peyton M. Hawes, candidate

ber of leading citizens.

no stone unturned in his campaign
for the office to which he aspires.

look" said Mr.. Hawes yesterday in
discussing political conditions. Il
have many strong friends throughout
the state at work in my interest and
| am daily adding to their number.
The contest is not one of any political
principles, but Of efficiency for the
dut es of the office. | believe myself
thoroughly equipped by training and
experience for the duties of state
treasurer and am soliciting the sup>
port of the people solely on that
ground
Americus times-recorder. [volume] (Americus, Ga.) 1891-current, 1910-06-15

Up in Elberton, Mr.. Hawes says,
there is great interest in good roads,
as in. Sumter, but while the roads
there aaa good he hardly thought
them the equal of those of Sumter,
due perhaps to tile better materials
right at hand here. Mr.. Hawes, like
all others moving through South
Georgia, was surprised at the evil
dence of development on hand on all
sides.
"lf | We're a young man | know of
no place that would attract me more
as a settler and home maker than
South Georgia. said he "The poor
man who is willing to work can
come here and soon make himself in
dependent. 1t is a great country for
the able, Industrious man with small
means, probably has no superior on
earth in that respect. The advertis-
ing of the conditions in this section
will enevitably lead to an inrush of
