STORY OF A POLICEMAN.

YESTERDAY we spoke of the courage and
4 bravery of policemen and fremen in the
performance Of their duties. case has been
brought TO light in Atlanta, Ca, showing the
moral courage fidelity to his oath, or whatever
you may choose to call it of a policeman. The
Atlanta policeman caught his two sons robbing
a store He arrested them. They were con
victed on his evidence and sent to prison Con
sderng all the circumstances the sons should
be pardoned and given opportunity TO begin
life again.
This policeman in the discharge OF his duty
brought disgrace upon himself and upon his
family, and imagine what the feelings of the
father must have been when he said in court in
right, and it nearly killed me when I found
them trying to rob the store, but | felt il was
my duty under my oath as an officer to arrest
them and prosecute them. | told them they were
guilty and must take their punishment"
There are many who will say that the affec-
ton and love that father should show his
children should have taken precedence over the
duty he owed the state an officer but Judge
Roam, of the Atlanta Court and the Solicitor
General approved the course of the officer. The
judge said: Here, indeed is a real man, and
an officer who has the highest regard for his
oath He deserves to rank with the old Roman
judge who condemned his own son."
There is lesson TO be learned from this At
anta policeman. Many of us could not have
taken the course that he did, but think of the
high conception he had of his duty TO the state.

POLITICAL RoMANCING.

II HE condition of the Republican organiza-
i ton" is greatly worrying some of oui
Democratic friends. Some of their writers have
conjured up all sorts of things as about to hao-
pen. A few days ago the Organization was
in disfavor with the National administration and
there were intimations that former Senator Hig-
gins was to be called upon to dispense the Fed
eral patronage here. This intimation must have
been great surprise to Mr. Higgins as, to
others. Some months ago former Senator AZ
lee was to be the prophet of Taft and high mogul
of the party in the state but Senator Allee's ac-
tivities have been devoted for some time to max
ing money canning vegetables, and enter
tanning hopes that he will be able to can the
party that honored him so signally in the past
Then Il was that Taft was to overlook the
New Castle end of the Organization" and cast
loving eyes only at Senator Richardson. But
all these speculations have gone TO the bad
and our Democratic writers now believe that
the Republican Organization" in the state will
be in high favor with the administration by the
time the next election rolls round.
We do not suppose that Captain Horace Viii

And If their eloquence our hearts

I wonder If we could but hold His
And gaze into His eyes so wondrous
II we would render unto Him our

And then sweet peace and consola-

Among the multitude that once He
fed.
If in that miracle we'd see His power,
And by His mighty hand we'd then
be fed.
And If we stood beside Him in that

Where once the pentecostal fires

Forsalting all that's wrong and do

Blew madly and the waves the boat
did fill?

For If bright days were always to us

we'd then forget that there could
come a night
Could we have been among the faith

I take,
Would we be willing then by Him to
stay,
And sacrifice our all for His dear
sake.

policeman who has had long experience.

the young of the ways of sin often cause smile
