From the Albany Herald.
Georgians generally, and the peo-
pie of the Second and Eleventh con-
gressional districts especially, will be
interested in the announcement that
Representative Brantley succeeds the
late Judge j. M. Griggs as a member
of the ways and means committee
of the house. The appointment was
announced by the speaker yesterday
afternoon. Mr.. Brantley is at pres
ent a member of two of the most
important committees of the house,
the judiciary and the buildings and
grounds committees. The ways and

From the Macon Telegraph.
While The Telegraph would like
to have seen our own congressman,
Judge Bartlett, succeed Judge Griggs
on the ways and means committee
of the house the appointment of Mr.
Brantley by the Speaker will meet
with the appreciation of the people
in the Eleventh, and large number
of his friends and admirers through
out the state. 1t is a singular coin
cidence that the great democrat on
the ways and means from the south
Henry G. Turner, should have been
succeeded on that committee first
by Griggs, his successor in the old
Second, and then by Brantley, his
successor in the new Eleventh. Mr..
Brantley is a very able man, and he
will serve his party, his state and his
country with distinction on that com

From Leslie's Weekly.

From Leslie's Weekly.
The wealthy people of America, be
it said to their credit, give generous
ly to all good causes when they know
their gifts will be wisely spent. In
the past ten years no other religious
organization has received so much
money as the Y. M. c. A Millions
have been raised for new buildings
all over the land, and with no appar-
ent strain. Its businesslike admins
tration of it's vast resources, it's en-
ergy in pushing its work-in the
cities and through its railroad, army
and navy branches-and it's fine poll
cy in following the armies in all re-
cent wars have created for it a
worldwide enthusiasm. At the last
banquet of the international COM
mittee Senator Root affirmed that
they had made their way by working
with men more than by talking to
them, saying, Come with u.s." not
Go, do that" BY their appeals to
all classes of christians, as we'll as
to non-christians, they have kept out
of doctrinal theology, and by their
activity in good works they have es-
capped cant in religion. All interested
in saving our boys and young men
rejoice in their worldwide success.

HERE'S TO YOU, DAD.

From the Pensacola Review.
We happened in a home the other
night, and over the parlor door saw
the legend worked in letters of red,
What Is Home Without Mother?"
Across the room was another brief,
God Bless Our Home"
Now, what's the matter with "God
Bless Our Dad" He gets up early,
lights the fire, boils an egg, and
wipes off the dew of the dawn with
his boots while many a mother is
sleeping. He makes the weekly
hand-out for the butcher, the grocer,
the milk man and baker, and his pile
is badly worn before he has been
home an hour.
If there is a noise during the night
dad is kicked in the back and made
to go down stairs to find the bur-
glar and kill him. Mother darns the
socks, but dad bought the socks in
the first place, and the needles and
the yarn afterward. Mother does up
the fruit; well, dad bought it all,
and jars and sugar cost like the mis-
chief.
cad buys the chickens for the
Sunday dinner, carves them himself
and draws the neck from the ruins
after everyone else is served What
Is Home Without a Mother?" Yes,
that is all right; but what is home
without a father? Ten chances to
one it's a boarding house, father is
under a slab, and the landlady is the
widow Dad, here's to you-you'Ve
got your faults-you may have lots
of 'em-but you're all right, and we
will miss you when you're gone.
