CANNOT THE LEGISLATURE SAVE
TALLULAH!

There was never as much noise
made in Georgia over nothing at any
time within my recollection"
Thus speaketh Attorney Jack I.
Spalding, of Atlanta, an officer of the
Georgia Railway and Power Company
elative to the efforts to save Tallulan
Falls from practical destruction.
=. dOver nothinglPr As &. :
Of course it is a mere nothing to
the men who wish to convert the
choicest bit of nature east of the
Rocky Mountains into money making
source of power.
I Of course it is a mere nothing to
II them so long as they can line their
pockets with money and swell their
bank accounts.
/ What does il matter that this peer-
! less bit OF scenery, created untold ages
ago. one af the masterpieces of ma
lures workings for the qualification
of mans love for the beautiful, should
be marred, perhaps ruined, so long as
! Mr.. Spalding and his associates profit
thereby?
The people who made so much
noise over nothing" ought to be
ashamed of themselyes-as Spaldin4
sees it.
The fact that they We're unselish in
their efforts, that they labored simply
to preserve to future generations this
magnificent chasm with its wonderful
series of falls and rapids that theil
thoughts were not of the gold tina
might be made from its utilization bu
of the untold JOYS it might bring II
the men and fomen of the future in thu
. contemplation of its grandeur-thi.
/ does not count with Attorney Spald
ing.
The country as a whole has bee
stirred over Niagara Falls and tn
3 national government has taken step
to see that the utilization of its powe
S does not mar it's beauty as falls. Geor
gia as a state is not as rich or a
powerful as the Federal government
But it does look as though Governo
- Brown might have gone a bit further
t might have taken steps to check tn
\ work until the Legislature meets to Sc
- if it is willing to save the falls at tn
expense of the people. Surely tn
v state of Georgia has authority enoug
over its domain as whole to tax
possession of Tallulah Falls and stuff
" cient adjacent grounds to protet
them, and set them aside as a publ
: park, paying the Power Company
4 reasonable amount, as may be detern
:, ined by arbitration-not the profits
might hope to make through the con
ing years, but the money it has actua
= ly expended up to this time.

mortgage YOUR LITTLE FARM.

Advices from Atlanta are to the eff
feet that the men who had promised
to support Hon. Thomas G. Hudson
financ' ally in the race for governot.
and through that promise lead him in
to the race, when called upon to fulfill
their promise declined to do so and
gave him the advice, Mortgage your
little farm and use that money"
1t is credited to the strong common
sense of Mr.. Hudson that he turned
down the proposition. The man who
mortgages his little farm" or his lit
tie home, or his little business, to en-
ter a political race, is naturally de-
voidi of good sense and sound judg-
ment or is temporarily mentally I'M
ba' anced by the desire for office
There is very little in politics -
temnt the average man to sacrifice
himself, his time, his health, strength
and means, in pursuit of office. The
average office, honestly conducted,
pays but living salary. The oppor-
tunity to lay aside anything for the
day when the Office will be lost, or i'll
, health will come, or old age steal on,
! is practically nil. The honor of hold
ing political Office does not amount to
so much that man of strong, level
i head will sacrifice other things Of
more satisfactory and more permanent
value for the f1eeting fame.
When Bob Burdette was a newspa-
| per man he was asked to run for Of
! fee. He thought the matter over and
sent characteristic reply to the COM
mittee, declining to become a candi-
date. 1t ran about in this way:
1T is very pleasing to a mans pride
to carry his ward 1t is even more
gratifying to his self-love to carry his
town 1t appeals in a still greater de-
gree for him to carry his district. His
bump of egotism may be swelled to
undue proportions by the carrying of
his own state. But, after all, little
| home, paid for; balance in the bank,
and Betty and the babies, happy by
ones side, far outstrip in true value
and importance any of these things
The genial humorist was right. The
oaid-for home, the money in the bank
the loving wife and the affectionate
children that make up the happy
home, the absence of worry and disap-
pointment, the saving of ones nerves
from the shock of false friendship ami
calculating treachery, these are things
that more than make up for the abs
ence of little temporary prominence
to the man who eschews the race for
Office.
Don't mortgage the farm, or the
home, or the business prospects, or the
Personal happiness, for political
race, even if the office seems assured.
The job generally isn't worth the risk,
isn't worth the sacrifice. Look the |
field of average politicians over and
see if there is anything in the game u
tempt YOU when you have weighed !
octh sides in the balances. AS a lot
they are certainly not to be envied By
a well balanced man whose e2ergies
generally reap a far richer fruitage in
some other field of activity.

LEMON JUICE PREFERABLE

Vinegar Is spoiled cider and

acid Of buttermIk and that of
fruits, but these are far more
desirable as antiseptics. Seen
under the microscope, vinegar
is repulsiVe. It is not necessary
to take acid with "cold law"
lettuce, etc, but If any Is to be
used lemon Is best. Lemon
juice is not incompatible with

Kersey. May 24.-After a years

Railroad company, an electric bell
has arrived to be installed at the
depot railroad crossing, long re-
garded as a most dangerous one and
where one man. Hackley, lost his
life under the wheels of the flyer"
few years ago. Soon after Hack
ley. farmer living east of Greeley,
on the Rea & Petrikin farm, died
from the effects of his injuries the
citizens of Kersey asked for the es-
tablishment of an electric bell on
the crossing. From time to time
they renewed their petition. finally
with success 1t seems.
Another Kersey crossing needs an
electric alarm for Union Pacific
through trains do not slow down in
going through the town. Follow
ing the death of Hackley his widow
brought suit for damages. 1t was
then the contention of the railroad
company that there was no town
ordinance providing for stacking
speed through the town. 1t was al.
legged that the engineer blew the
whistle and rang the bell of hii
engine on approaching the crossing
but Hackley did not hear. Now
when one drives over the railroad
track at this point an electric bell II
set going.

FIRST BATTALION OF FOURTH

If the present plans are carried
out Greeley will be the headquart-
ers Of the first battalion OF the
Fourth Field Artillery. U. S. A., on
June 22 and %. Quartermaster
Henry Sale Kilbourn was IN the
city late yesterday afternoon ar
ranging with the city authorities
for the use Of Island Grove park as
a camping ground Saturday and
Sunday, the days that the soldiers
will be here and unless the present
plans of the itinery are changed the
people of Weld county will have an
opportunity to see how Uncle Sam
regulars behave while on LOU
mile march with full war equip
ment.
There will be $50 men and Of
ficers. with full war complement o.
cannon, mules and horses. They
are at present stationed at Chey-
enne. but will start out about the
middle of June for a 1000 mile
practice march through Colorado.
More than two months will be re-
quired to complete the trip. which
will take the soldiers through the
southern and western part OF the
state. More than 500 horses and
mules will be required to transport
the guns and the men. 1t is prob
able that the battalion will stop IN
Greeley for a day or two on their
way back to the fort the latter part
of August.
In view of the recent orders OF
the war department it looks much
as though the practice march of the
artillery at this time is merely
ruse to cover getting the men and
equipment in fighting trim for duty
in Mexico at an hours notice. Since
the announcement of the soldiers
coming was made it has been pre-
dicted freely that before they start
ed on the return trip to the fort !
they would be ordered to the bord-
er or possibly into old Mexico for
