Sinless perfection may be attain
able in this life, but those attaining
it will be only conscious Of their i'm
perfection, and will continue to con-
fess to God, but never profess them
selves; and in these two words there
is as wide a difference as between
darkness and night. The man or wo-
man that gets beyond the need OF
the Lords Prayer is beyond helping
sinners, and beyond the help Of men.

Gle Johnnie's friends thought the
best act of his life was nearly beating
out the life of Dick Basemore, with
Dicks wooden leg, for attempting to
enter his wife's room he prayed and
sorrowed over beating 'Dickie, and
always thought he ought not to have
done it. And while Uncle Sam s
friends wanted to mob the man who
shot him he prayed to be kept from
doing anything but returning good
for evil But this new gang that is
great on profession and short on
possession want men to deny them
selves the use of every pleasure they
are too old or too stingy to purchase
for their own enjoyment. One of
these apostles, who out-cranked all
up to the time he was suspended
from his church for assault with in

governors Office during the term for
which he was elected. Quite num-
Der of these, it is stated, will vote
for Senator Terrell.
But if Governor-elect Smith should
be elected the office of president of
the senate Immediately becomes a
most important one. This official will
go into the gov rnor's office for a Pc
riod of sixty days and exercise its
functions until a new governor is
chosen and inaugurated.
Some Probable Legislation.
Not only that, but he is likely to be
a candidate for the office himself. He
is also likely to have to run against
Commissioner of Agriculture T. G.
Hudson and Judge R. B. Russell, now
of the state court of appeals.
The political situation is thus full
of the most interesting possibilities
during the next four months.
From a legislative standpoint also
the session will be important and in
teresting. The legislature must make
up and pass general appropriations
and tax acts for the next two years.
If congress increases the member
ship of it's lower house as result of
the recent census it will also be up to
the legislature to redistrict the state,
making provision for a twelfth con-
gresham.
Prohibition legislation is going to
command some attention, as there is
little doubt effort win be made to
strengthen the law with a view to
providing for its better enforcement,
and also to stop, if possible, the sale
of beer.
The question of the sale or lease OF
the executive mansion property on
Peachtree street will be interesting
and there is promised some excite
ment also as the result of the usua,
efforts to raise more revenue through
new or increased specific taxes.
Quite a number of old favorites
will put in their appearance, such as
compulsory education, a bureau Of
labor, and the like, and with these, in
view of crush of other business, il
will no doubt be a case of the survival
of the fittest.

THE SECRET IS OUT AT LAST
CAUSE OF HIGH PRICE OF SHOES
REVEALED AT HEARING.
The Entire Industry in the United
States Is Gripped by Gigantic
Trust at Boston.

WASHINGTON declaration
that a trust grips the entire shoe
manufacturing industry of the United
States was made today before the
senate committee on finance, which
began hearings on the Canadian reci-
procity bill Manufacturers from the
middle west told the committee they
were practically at the mercy of the
| United Shoe Machinery Co. of Bos-
| ton.
1t was suggested that report OF
the hearings be transmitted to the
attorney general.
The principal spokesman for the
shoe manufacturers was William D.
OEnch of st. Louis. With him were
manufacturers from St. Louis, Chica-
go and Grand Rapids, Mich. An in
cidental reference TO a failure to re-
duce the duty on brass wire used in
the manufacture of shoes led Mr..
O'Ench to say that the trust made
it impossible to buy grass wire
abroad.
Duty in the Way.
why don't you buy all your ma
chinery abroad them" asked Senator
Simmons of North Carolina.
In reply the shoe manufacturer re-
ferred to the forty-fve per cent duty
which stood in the way.
Would the removal of that duty
make shoes cheaper" asked Senator
Simmons.
Yes, but | can't say how much. :"
The witness said the royalty charg
ed by the shoe machinery trust in
less than a year would be sufficient
to buy the English machinery out
right Senator Smoot cOntended that
under these circumstances the duty
should not prevent the American
manufactured buying European ma
chimes.
Mr.. O'Ench declared, however,
that the shoe manufacturers could
not get all of their machinery in
England, and to get part of it from
the American concern they were re-
quired to buy all.
Trouble for Some One.
Senator Bailey declared that if the
report of the hearing was transmit
ted to the attorney general it ought
to make trouble for the shoe ma
chine trust"
Senator Gallinger said he thought
patents on machinery would protect
the machinery manufacturing COM
pany from the charge of being a
trust.
Senator Bailey asserted that they
would not.
Mr.. O'Ench said the United Shoe
Machinery Company sold some of it's
machinery in England, and that it did
not bind the English manufacturers
by any such contracts as those in this
country.
