The Devilish MaIignity of the Rule
Or-Ruin Clique

Did you read, in Seelys Georgian, the head
line about Senator Terrell?
1t was to this effect:
"HAS ABOUT RECLAIMED HIS
SPEECH AND CAN MOVE HIS
FINGERS."
My God Have the Atlanta politicians no
sense of decency, at all?
For two years, Hoke Smith and Joe Terrell
watched the progress of the disease which
killed Steve Clay.
For two years, those two waited impatiently
for the sick man to die He knew it, and they
knew that he knew it.
And then, at his funeral Hoke Smith went
to the side of the open grave, in Marietta,
ana before Clay's body was put in the ground,
offered his Senatorial garment to Clark
Howell!
Good Lord What monster that man is.
And now, in the paper which tried to vim
dictate him from those hideous charges which
will never be withdrawn or disproved, we are
told that the patient and successful expectant
of Steve Clay's shoes, is so near death that
he can only ''mo0e his fingers"
And Seely poses as a Sunday school lee
turer; while Hoke Smith attends Methodist
Conferences, entering the church on the arm

FIGURE ON the Meaning of This

Lorrimers seat in the {, S. Senate was
bought for him by Lee O'Neill Brown, the
Democratic boss of Chicago. Lorrimer Is
Republican; but he was good enough Demo
crat for the interests represented by Brown
Lippitts seat in the I. S. Senate-where
he succeeds Aldrich-was given him by
Democratic votes in the legislature Of Rhode
Island.
Lippitt is the Republican who went before
the Congressional Committee, last spring, and
gave orders as to the cotton schedules; but
he was good enough Democrat for the IN
terests represented by those Democratic leg
islatOrs.
Lodge owes his reelection, in part, to
Democratic votes. given him in the Massa-
chusetts legislature. He is a stand-pat Re
publican, of the deepest dye; but he was good
enough Democrat for the interests represented
by those Democratic legislators.
Bill Sheehan is receiving the vast lndlS-
pensable aid of the refusal Of the Republicans
Of the Nea0 YORK; legislature to cote against
him. You know who Bill is? AS rank a cor
ruptionist and Wall Street tout as ever
breathed-Tom Ryan's assiduous jac1al. Bill
has always tagged himself as a Democrat;
but he is a good enough Republican for those
Republican legislators to refuse to combine
with the Insurgent Democrats to defeat him.
Before this comes under your eye, Bill may
have been chosen Senator, By Republican,
UOtes.
Will the country never catch on to the
game?

Fred Warren Won't Have TO Go
to Jail

are trying to inject into this case, is labored.
The Federal Judge who sentenced Warren
had to make a law to do it. If President
Taft has examined the evidence he should
know that Warren had not violated any of
the Revised Statues.
To declare him criminal, as Mr.. Taft does,
and at the same time take the greatest pains
to keep him from having to 90 to prison, is
inconsistent. if not ridiculous.
The President reduced the fine to 800 and
virtually says that it is not to be collected,
save by cioH process.
Why not the usual alternative? Why so
much care to prevent the possibility of
guilty man spending month or two in jail
The authorities Numbered, in taking hold
of Warren; and they bungled, in the way they
turned him loose.

or in towns and villages, at the noon-hour.
Dinner is taken at that time of day; and it
should not be interrupted by visitors, or by
telephone messages. The same rule should
apply as'to supper and breakfast. You know
what the custom is IN your own nelghbOrhOod
and you should govern yourself accordingly.
When visiting or travelling In other COM
munltles, inquire as to the meal time. BE
careful to call, between these hours of break
fasting, lunching, dining and supping 1t is
extremely improper to disturb private fami-
lies by making your visit at time when you
are bound to know you will cause some one
to leave the table, before having finished the
meal
The host, thus mistreated, may be man of
sufficient urbanity to conceal the fact that YOU
have annoyed him; but you may be quite GER
tain that he will never forget y0u" zuch Of
consideration Of his right to take his food IN
qHiet, at his ease, and qOith0Mt interruption.
To call him, or any member of his family,
to the telephone during meal time, is equally
inconsiderate and Objectionable. Wnen men
sit down to take dinner, supper or breakfast,
it irritates them to have to leave the table,
during the meal; and it also vexes them to
have their wives jumping up, every whip
stitch, and leaving the table. Wives who do
this, habitually, will sooner or later note the
look OF dlspleasure that Will beclOud the face
of their husbands.
Therefore, John Henry, be thoughtful and
considerate. DON'T use the telephone, and
don't make call at the house, when you hn01o
that the family is in the dining-room.
The urbane host who has been called away
from his unfinished repast, will suavely invite
you to his table. Unless you are an intimate
friend, YOU could not make a much bigger
social blunder than to accept the invitation.
To have called at this hour, was great mis-
take: to go to the table, where you were not
expected, would be yet more glaring error.
Such violations of the precepts of good breed
ing are sadly discomforting to house wives
for there is one thing that no husband ever
has succeeded in teaching his wife, viz
What's good enough for HER and her lord,
is good enough for anybody.
No, sir! You couldn't drill that fact into
the wifely head, with steam driven brace
and-bit if you tried it thirty years.
How do [ know that?
From experience, My Son.

The Consolidation of Schools Is to
Be DeDIOred

It puts greater distance between the
pupils and the school-house. Just the opposite
policy should be pursued.
Is there some danger that our teachers, as
a class, may come to believe that the schools
are established and operated for their benefit!
Is there a growing disposition among them
to regard the pupils as quasi culprlts?

the very words.
He walked away, with the look of man
turning something over, in his mind By the
time he reached the gate, he was in tower
ing rage. When he put the fence between us,
he began to curse me, and to dare me to come
out in the big road. Said that if I would
come out there, he'd give me the blanzety
worst whipping [ had ever had.
I turned and walked away, toward the
house. The further [ retreated, the louder
and more fuently he cursed me. He could see,
as [ could, that the ladies' qUeYe hearing 1t;
and that the men [ had at work, had stopped,
to listen.
This would never do: so I called out to the
man-whose name [ did not then know

AS to Florida, I am under a Bond, right
now, to keep the peace with everybody; but
with Waldo Clement, especially. He is the
wealthy young yachtsman, from somewhere
out West, who came on to our place near
Miami, armed with a Winchester rifle, to
brighten me into the withdrawal of my objec-
ton to his fishing in our privately made cove.
Fearing that he might be simple enough to
drop his oar and make for his gun, [ took it
out of his boat; and sent it to the Deputy
Sheriff. of Dade county.
In this connection, let me urge YOU Young
Man, to respect the rights of others.
Don't frpSDacS 11DOn domestic TrlVacV. or
hunt on enclosed land; or fish in branches and
creeks and coves that belong to private citi-
zens. Don't annoy the owners of privately
owned mills by disregarding their objection
to fishing the pond above the mill, or the pool
below it. Don't 90 to the we'll, In private
yard, without asking permission.
You should never enter dwelling, without
knocking at the door, or ringing the bell, and
being invited to 'come in.' If the house is
in the country, and has small front yard,
paled in, you should stop and "Hello" at the
front-gate, it you stranger to the family.
In these days, when crimes against women are
so common, it is most dangerous to have
strange mem at the door of the isolated home,
whose natural protectors may be absent, and
whose feminine inmate may imprudently put
herself into the power of some lustful brute.
In this easy way, we finally reach the matter
of dancing:
Being married man, do not ask anybody
but ''Miss Georgia. that's Mizzis T. E. w
to dance with me. In the little 'parties" that
we give, every now and then, my wife and [

Therefore. when the President goes
