KALEIDOSCOPE STATE POLITICS

Running the gamut Of all possible
changes. Georgia senatorial politics,
changable as the proverbial chameI-
con, now takes on a new color and
assumes a new phase
Just a little while back and it looked
conclusive that Gov. Smith had a cincn
en- the senatorship and would be All
easy victor in the coming legislative
struggle. The report has been current,
and it has been generally accepted,
that the next governor has a majority
of between % and 80 on joint ballot.
The anti-Smith forces are said to con-
troll in the senate, but the Smith ma
jority in the House overcomes that in
the upper body and leaves the substan-
tial majority referred to for the com
ing executive.
That is the way the wiseacres have
had it figured out of late But now
comes the Hon. Thomas Watson, ready
to shy his castor into the arena, and
at once the scribes-and the political
Pharisees, too-get out their pads and
pencils and, presto! by a little figur-
ing the whole state is once more re-
minded that There's many a slip twiX,
the cup and the lip" and that an hour
may make wonderful changes in the
complexion of politics
The Hon Tom, if these "know-alls"
have it down right, has a following Of
twenty to thirty in the legislature on
whose votes he can rely. If this should
be the case, and they are drawn, as is
claimed, from the erstwhile Smith
forces, then the Smith majority would
be wiped out and triangular con-
test would be precipitated in which
Terrell and Smith would be evenly bal
anced, approximately, and the Thorn
son politician would hold the whip
handle.
Now it is we'll known that Watson
does not love Smith. Whether he
loves Terrell no one presumes to say.
Nor is it at once evident if he has say
twenty-five votes that the Thomson
statesman could utilize them in the in
terest of some one else's candidacy for
the senate.
1T is only a short time now before
the solons begin to drink lithia water
at the states expense and while away
the hot summer in laying plans for fu-
ture state political alignments. What
those alignments will be depends. of
course, entirely on the result of the
senatorial race. With Smith in the
Senate there will be a dissolution and
Irealignment of forces, no doubt, but
with it otherwise there is apt to be a
drawing closer together of the Smith
forces of the most progressive stripe
and probably some future campaigns
of education, so called, and legislation
along reform lines.
And to think that just when the pub
lie had settled down to the conviction
that Tom Watson was a dead one he
should suddenly be revivified into tht
arbiter of the senatorial fight and the
disarranger of we'll laid plans. Blu
maybe, after all, this is but phantasm
of the hot weather, the effect of toe
much caloric on the reportial magma
ton in Atlanta.

They both are famous-one is Woe,
The other Joy.

Yet in the depths of each must hide
Some common soul.
For whereso'er Joy goes, some lure

There was a hammock once, that

Between two apple trees;
The world was wonderful and young
And fragrant was the breeze,
And in the field a song was sung
By choruses of bees.

No longings in between;
No theme for sought, no dream deal

There is a land whose streams did
wind
More winningly than these,
Where finer shadows played behind
The clean stemmed beechen trees,
The maidens there were deeper eyed,
The lads more swift and fair,
And angels waited at each ones side
Would God that | were there!
Here daffodils are dressed in gold
But there they wore the sun,
And here the blooms are bought and
sold
But there God gave each one,
There all roads led to fairyland
That here do lead to care;
And stars were lamps on Heaven
strand
Would God that | were there!
Here worship crawls upon her course
But there with larks would cope,
And here her voice with doubt is
hoarse
But here was sweet with hope.

For thy once tasted air.

Waterbury, Feb 22.-Rev. DR.. Will

superintendent of the International
Reform Bureau, spoke at the evening
service at the Methodist church on
Sunday evening, on National Perils
the Bureau he represents is to SUBJ
stitute Cancellation and arbitration for

He touched upon many reforms in
the way of national hopes and perils
Among the perils he enumerated con-
sumption of liquors, murders, divor-
ces. lynching, labor riots, municipal
misrule, Sabbath breaking, impurity,
yellow journalism, brutal sports, graft,
eral lawlessness. In nine of these
evils we beat the world; murders, d.
vorces, lynching, labor riots, munich
pal corruption, yellow journalism,
graft, administration and general
lawlessness. We have to go to Japan
to find a country with so large a pro-
portion of marriages wrecked by Iii
vOrCe. We have to go again out
side Christendom to find in China an
other country with so much graft. 1t
is small comfort that we are not
worse than France in the matter of
Sabbath breaking. In the consump-
ton of liquors, we drink only half as
much as Germany and Britain in
beers, and these countries consume
twice as much of hard liquors, as we
do also. All temperance efforts

only in hard times. The liquor does
not prove that prohibitory laws are
useless The increase of crimes does
not prove that law is not efficient, but
simply that it is not sufficient and
