THE EPISODE AT ROME.

The recent episode at Rome, when
Colonel Roosevelt declined to visit
Pope Plus, is now talked of but lit
tie. Most people, certainly those of
the sensible kind, are agreed that
both the pope and the eX-president
acted within their rights, and the ac-
ton of each was natural and appro-
pirate 1t is not a secret that the
American Methodists who are domi-
Ciled at Rome have made themselves
distinctively unpleasant to the Ro-
man church. They have discussed
Catholicism in a manner not becOm-
ing, to say the least, in people who
are. there enjoying every privilege
they could ask by sufferance. The
Italian people are all Catholics. If
a community or institution of Cath
olics domiciled in any American city
had discussed professionalism as the
American Methodists in Rome are
said to have expressed themselves re-
garding the pope, the vatican and the
church of Rome there would have
been trouble over here-more
trouble than has been in evidence
in Rome. 1t was not surprising that
the authorities at the vatican should
desire Colonel Roosevelt to keep
away from the Methodists at Rome
at least to refrain from any express |
sion of sympathy or approval of the |
Methodists there. And Colonel |
Roosevelt, as a self-respecting Amer
lean citizen, very properly declined |
to be bound by any promise or stipu-
lation that in effect discredited his |
countrymen even if he himself did |
not approve of the manner in which |
the Methodist propaganda is carried |
on at the Eternal City. That Colo !
mel Roosevelt had his own ideas |
along that line was clearly shown ,
when Rev. Mr.. Triple, in charge of |
the Methodist work, elated by Roose- |
velt's declinatiOn to see the pope, !
called on the ex-president The |

THE VILLAGE sMuTHY" Is DEAD.

Longfellow's Village Blacksmith,
who had reached the age Of 76 years,
is dead. The man referred TO in
the poem known to every Ameri-
can man, woman and child was
Thaddeus w Tyler, of Lynn, Mass.
The first words of the widely known
poem are:
Under a spreading chestnut tree
The village smithy stands.
To his children Mr.. Tyler often
told of his acquaintance with the
poet while he worked at the forge
in a Cambridge, Mass, blacksmith
shop. Longfellow showed him the
Village Blacksmith, he said, after he
had written it. He was born in War
rem, n. H., and went to Boston in
1874. He ran the first engine ever
used in the manufacture of shoes,
and originated the moulded stiffen-
ing for shoes. He and his wife cele-
brated their golden wedding in 1908.

UNSEENILY HASTE.

Governor Patterson's ears must

Colonel Cooper may have deserved

the money is coming in regularly.
even though the bills are not all paid
promptly.
1t is a wise plan to save some
thing, even dollar each month, over
and above expenses. When one has
established the habit Of saving that
amount, depositing it in some safe
where the temptation to spend cam
not reach it, the desire to make the
saving a little larger will set our
wits to work, and we will soon find
that there are at least a few leaks
that can be stopped. A dollar saved
IS not much, but it means self-re-
spect and a sense of independence.
and if the dollar is on our side of
the account we may be sure the

RUNNING AN ACCOUNT.

One of the greatest misfortunes
that can befall the average person
is to have 'credit account" with
the merchant. If we were forced to
pay cash for everything we bought we
would do without great many things
and be much better off. 1t is very
hard to live within a fixed limit of
expenses if one can have things
charged, for in that case the temp
tation to live more luxuriously than
we ought is very great. With most
people the pass book" takes the
place of the bank book, and their
surplus" is entered in the names
of the merchants instead of their
own. In case of misfortune, sick
ness or out of the ordinary ex-
penses such people hardly know
which way to turn to meet their ne
cessities, and the result, too often, is
that everything they have must be
sacrificed, or leave the neighborhood
(and their reputation for honest
dealing as welD in order to start
anew where they are not known.
Many do this. If the bread-winner
should happen to lose his position

KISSING THE PRESIDENT.

! From the Savannah Press.
The job of kissing the president
of the United States has been left
| to the women suffragettes in Wash
| ington.
President Taft is brave man to
go to a woman suffrage meeting and
take exceptions to their platform. 1t
will be remembered that the women
of England mobbed the premier and
tried to invade the sanctuary of the
house of commons. They held in
dignation meetings in Hyde Park
and Trafalgar Square-and they
even made demonstration in force
in Union Square, New York. But we
never dreamed that they would actu-
ally try to stampede the president
by this sign of feminine displeasure
Judge Taft took it in good part
His irrepressible smile did not come
off. He simply reminded his disaf-
fected hearers that they must con-
troll themselves before they could
be thought worthy of exercising the
highest function of self-government
WOmenlike, when they had got
ten through Kissing they worried
about it. They apologized and zap
plauded the handsome president
frantically at the close of his re-
marks. 1t was a quick, lady-like
veering from the sunshine to shadow
and then back again. They arose
en- masse when the dear president
retired from the hall and rebuked
the naughty women who were so
thOughtless as to hiss the speaker
until the sound resembled the steam
gauge of a sawmill.
But those who have followed the
suffragette movement will believe
that the president got off light. The
police in England were assaulted,
parliamentary speakers ''heckled"
and the premier guyed. In sixty
years of effort the suffragettes real
ize that they have not succeeded in
arousing public opinion, so they have
threatened the public peace. The
gospel of the new dispensation in
some instances is being preached by
the Woman with the Serpents
Tongue
She is not old, she is not young,
The Woman with the Serpent's
Tongue
The haggard cheek, the hungering
eye,
The poisoned words that wildly fly
Hectic and always overstrung,
The Woman with the Serpent's
Tongue.
One is led to eXclaim: Is it posi-
BILE that the women of America, with
all their freedom and all their in
fluence, are about to be carried away
by this new movement, or is it to
be another reform like that of Mrs.
Lease and Carrie Nation, a crusade
with harassments and hatchets!

DEATH OF A LITTLE GIRL.
Mr.. and Mrs. Marvin Mcleod Lose
Their Two-Year-Old Child.

On April 16, 1910 as the golden
sun was peeping up and all nature
was awake the death angel entered
the home of Mr.. and Mrs. Marvin
Mcleod at Pleasant Hill and ten
derby carried the sweet spirit of their
little darling girl Mamie, to God.
For two short years, three months
and five days she was loaned to
these fond parents, but God in His
infinite wisdom has called her home,
and claims her for His own to dwell
with HIS angels and in her sweet
childish prattle to sing praises and
walk the golden streets forever.
She would beg to go to the sing
ing every Sunday, and now she has
gone to Gods singing, gone where
there is no sickness, no suffering and
no death; she is safely resting in
Jesus arms, waiting for her loved
ones as they one by one cross the
bar and meet her where she is.
For she dwells in land on whose
clear, blue skies,
Not a cloud for a moment can
stay;
1t needs not a sun in his splendor to
rise,
For the Lord is the light of day.
We love that dear land, and it's glo-
ries we seek;
There our dear Mamie with Jesus
dwells,
There the roses never fade from her
cheeks,
And the lips never murmur fare
well, farewell"
When we are grieved and wretched
BY sorrows, bowed down and dis
turbed,
Then it is that God in His tender
mercy
Holds us closest and loves us best.
The dear little hands shall clasp your
own once more;
The sweet lips that kissed you in
the years before
Shall come to meet you in the morn
ing land,
And there your souls shall under
stand. A FRIEND.

No Worry Here About High Prices

From the Meigs Review.
The big papers over the country
are raising a great cry about high
prices of food stuffs, laying it to the
scarcity of farm products. We don t
see any scarcity of anything to eat
in this section. There are a few
farmers who are dependent on the
stores, but one can buy anything he
wishes in the market There seems
to be absolutely no stint. The farm
ers have lard, meat, corn and hay,
and the meat markets here are al
ways able to furnish the finest home
raised beef to be had. The local
market is supplied almost entirely
with home-raised bacon. Lay the
high prices to Hoke Smith, Joe
Brown, Tom Watson or the comet,
but not to the scarcity of something
to eat. There is yet no famine in
sight.

OUTLOOK FOR THE INCOME TAX

The legislature of Virginia has re-
fused to ratify the income tax amend
ment, and it is regarded as practi-
eally certain that the legislature
of New York will also refuse. The
influence of the action of these
two states will, in all probability,
be sufficient to carry at least twelve
states against it, and if it's ratification
is refused by twelve it will be de-
feated
The refusal of the Virginia legis-
lature to ratify the proposed new tax
is somewhat remarkable in view of
the fact that Alabama and South Car
olina, two southern states, had rati-
fed it, says the Savannah News.
The action of these states seems
to have been based on the idea that
the income tax was a democratic
measure, and that therefore it should
be approved by democratic legisla-
lures. The Virginia legislature, how
ever, thought it wouldn't be wise for
that state to give up it's right to levy
an income tax, and, besides, it was
of the opinion that to give the repub-
lican party the power to tax incomes
was simply increasing that party's OPP
portunity to be extravagant.
Senator Bailey, in his speeches
before the legislature of South Caro-
lima and Virginia urging the ratifica
ton of the amendment, took the po-
sition that with an income tax the
chances for a reduction of the tariff
would be greater. He also said that
the government could be trusted not
to infringe the rights of the states
by taxing incomes derived from state
and municipal bonds or to touch the
incomes of only moderately well-to-
do people. So far as the legislature
of Virginia was concerned" contin-
ues our contemporary, these argu-
ments appear to have had but little
weight. 1t was assumed that the
wises plan was not to give the federal
government any power which it
wasn't expected to exercise. If it
didn't have the power it certainly
wouldn't exercise it, while on the 9TH
er hand if it had the power it might
exercise it.
1t is doubtful if the amendment
would have been proposed if there
hadn't been a feeling throughout the
country that the owners of the great
fortunes ought to pay greater share
of the expenses of the government,
but as it doesn't appear that taxes in
any other direction would be reduced
If an income tax we're collected, but,
on the contrary, that there would be
still greater extravaganza on the part
of the general government a great
er pension burden and a greater num-
Der of officials-the feeling in favor
Of an income tax has become less
strong"
The outlook, therefore, for the rat
iflcation of the amendment is by no
means promising.

LOST-AN ISSUE.
the Macon Telegraph.


The action of the democratic
house caucus in Washington in elect
ing j. J. Fitzgerald to the committee
of rules and also in voting down a
motion to renew the efforts of twelve
months ago to have all the commit
tees appointed by the house means,
at least. democratic harmony in
Washington. 1t is claimed by the
friends of fitzgerald and of the six
Georgia congressman who voted with
him twelve months ago as a vindi-
cation of their position then taken.
1t will be remembered that a num-
Der of democrats, six of them being
from Georgia, took the position that
the majority of democrats in at
tempting to take the right of naming
all the committees of the house out
of the hands of the Speaker was I'M
democratic and unprecedented, and
would establish bad precedent. So
strongly did they feel that they were
right they went against a majority
OF their democratic brethren, and
they in turn (the majority passed
resolutions of censure in caucus. 1t
produced a great deal of hard feel
ings" in congress, and there were
those at home Gin Georgia) who,
with longing eyes turned in the di-
rection of house seats in Washing
ton, were quick to take advantage
of the incident and talked incessant-
ly about traitors" and the like
The thing buzzed around in the First
Second, Eleventh and other districts
in Georgia. Knowing that the
Speaker of the house in Georgia and
all the states and in Washington also
had always appointed the commit
tees, at least during this generation
OF men, The Telegraph felt that the
six Georgia democrats and Mr.. Fitz-
gerald had done the thing which was
right in the abstract, although there
was a question as to the propriety
OF breaking away from the majority
OF their democratic brethren.
1t is not true, as has been widely
published, that the action of the
house in taking the appointment of
the committee on rules out of the
hands OF the Speaker the other day
was the identical thing they ATTEMPT
ed one year ago, and which failed
because it did not get the votes at
that time of certain democrats. The
proposition then was to take the an
pointment of all the committees out
of the hands of the Seaker-an I'M
precedented and revolutionary stem.
The proposition which carried the
fitzgerald and the five Georgia con-
gressmen Zone of the original six
being dead) was for the house to re-
cover a power it formerly held. of
naming the committee only on rules
Having carried, it was then I'D to
the democratic caucus to name tbo
minority members of that committee
This same caucus, in this same con-
gress, made up of the same demo-
Gratis who voted twelve months ago
to censure Fitzgerald, now voted to
put him on that committee as
democrat. The caucus went further.
1t voted down a resolution to renew
the effort which failed twelve months
ago to give the house the power to
name all of the committees.
This looks to us like a vindication
OF fitzgerald and the Georgia Six
1t looks to us as if aspirants in the
First, Eleventh, Fifth and other
Georgia districts represented bv tbe
six Georgians have lost an issue.
