AFTER THE MONEY DEVIL.

We have noticed dispatches in
democratic newspapers to the effect
that the democrats in congress have
gone after the goat of the Money
Devil because it will make good cam
paign thunder. The News is not
prepared to believe that the demo-
Gratis would play politics in mat
ter that could be so far-reaching in
its effects upon the whole country,
and hopes they are actuated by a
different and a higher motive. 1t
is time to quit legislating for party
advantage, with the spOils of Of
fee as the ultimate end, and look a
little after the welfare of the man
at home who is struggling under the
burdens of present conditions.

formed and observant people. But
that it must be along conservative,
even cautious, lines will be generally
conceded. Nobody wants to give
capital cause for alarm, or even sim
ulation OF alarm, and for that reason
the whole country has received with
much satisfaction the action of con-
gress providing that the investiga-
ton shall be made by the banking
and currency committee of the house
instead OF by special committee
that was sought to be created by a
radical resolution introduced by Mr..
Henry of Texas and which was OPP
posed by Mr. Underwood, the dem
ocratic leader, and a large majority
of the democratic members, inclu-
ing all but two of the Georgia dele
cation. A majority of the commit
tee who will conduct the investiga-
ton are Southern and Western dem
ocrats, and they may be depended on
to look carefully and intelligently
into the methods of financial power.

Deaf to the Vision calling,
And dead to the lash of the Dream.
But still did the mighty Makers
Stir in the common sod;
The Corn through it's awful acres
Trembled and thrilled with God.
More than man was the sower,
Lured by a mans desire,
For a triune bride walked close at
his side
Dew and Dust and Fire.
More than man was the plowman,
Shouting his gee and haW,
For a Something dim kept pace with
him,
And ever the poet saw.
Till the winds of the Cosmic strug-
gle
Made of his flesh a flute,
To echo the tune Of a whirlwind
rune
Unto the million mute.

THE POETS TOWN.

Mid green miles of tillage
And fields where cattle Craze,
prosy little village,
You browse away the days.
And yet-a wakeful glory
Clings round you as you doze;
One living lyric story
Makes music of your prose
Here once, returning never,
The feet of Song have trod;
And flashed-O, once forever!
The Singing Flame of God. /"
The wierd untempled Makers
Pulsed in the things he saw;
The Wheat through it's virile acres
Beloved the Song of Law.
The epic roll of the furrow
Flung from the writing plow,
The dactyl phrase of the green-rowed
maize
Measured the music of Now.
Slipper of ancient flagons,
Often the lonesome boy
IA" IL Lie ldLuSlb wagons
The chariots hurled at Troy. =
And once when the Rich Mans
daughter
Smiled on the boy at play,
Sword-stormS, giddy with slaughter,
Swept back the ancient day.
War steeds shrieked in the quiet,
Far and hoarse were the cries;
And o, through the din and the riot,
The music of Helen's eyes! =
Rich with the dreamer's pillage.
An idle and worthless lad,
Least in a prOsy village,
And Prince in Allahabad. + =
King of a Realm of Magic.
He was the fool of the town,
Hiding the ache of the tragic
Under the grin of the clown.
Worn with the vain endeavor
To fit in the sordid plan;
Doomed to be poet forever.
He longed to be only a man.
To be freed from gods enthralling
Back with the reeds of the stream

The daily dispatches sent out from
Americas about the campaign in the
Third district seem to studiously
avoid mention of Senator Shaw, the
evident purpose being to create the
impression that there are only two
candidates in the field Shaw may
never be a congressman 1--WE don't
say that he won't be-, but there is
no doubt that before the campaign

THE GOLD SUPPLY.

The New York Tribune is of the
opinion that the public will receive
with qualified gratitude the an
nouncement that the worlds output
of gold ta still increasing. Gold pro-
duction has been rising steadily in
the last two decades. In 1890 it's
value was only $118,848,O0O. In
1900 the value had risen to 1884,
10000, and in 1909 to $454, tO3,-
600. In 1910 the director of the
mint reports that it reached $685.
100000.
The world has been deluged with
the yellow metal. Each year now
puts almost as much fresh gold at
public disposal as every five did a
generation ago, and it is no wonder,
says the Tribune, that stability in
values and prices has been upset
and that the cost Of living has in
creased. In 1896 this country
resolved to stop the imitation in
prices due to the coinage of silver,
which had become so plentiful as to
lose about half its former value com
pared with gold. Now, through the
enormous increase in the production
of gold, many of the consequences
have been realized which would have
resulted from a continued coinage
of silver, the gold output remaining
stationary. The imitation of com
modify values has been worldwide.
The decentralization Of silver came
none too soon. If the production of
gold continues to increase it is even
possible to conceive of a demand
arising for some sort of a check on
the free coinage of gold.
Director Roberts prediction that
the worlds gold production will not
continue to increase at the pace set
since 1890 may be regarded as re-
assuring. He believes that the gold
output will now tend to become sta.
tionery, or even to decrease, thus
giving time to digest the overproduc.
ton of the last two decades. The
world needs a little rest from the
strain of reimbursement put upon til
economic machinery.

TWAS A REPUBLICAN MARES
NEST.

From the Macon Telegraph.
The Wilson bureau in Washington
has sent US a printed slip From the
Philadelphia North American, Feb.
s, 1912" a republican newspaper
which has busted itself with pub
fishing all manner of matter
calculated to weaken any possible
democratic candidate for the presi-
dency, whether Wilson or Harmon or
Underwood or Clark. The scare
head to this article, which is com
municated from Washington, reads
as it runs like this:
big Publicity Scheme Reveals
Underwood Has Financial Backer.
Offer Made to Weekly Papers in
South. So Much Per for Boom Issue
Sliding Scale Rates. This Campaign
Follows Visit to T. F. Ryan, Is the
Report. Special Dispatch to The
North American, Washington, Feb
7th."
Then follows the exact story, line
for line, word for word, which ap-
peared in the Atlanta Journal that
afternoon, or the day after, ''by
Ralph Smith"
We have been crediting the Jour
nails political expert" with the dis
coVery of this mares nest, but it
seems that he borrowed it from a
republican newspaper without due
credit, or acknowledgement.
1t does not help the cause of
democracy for his campaign people
to be flooding the South and the
country wit h this republican pre-
tense of violated virtue-particular
when it emanates from the Philadel-
phia stencil hole of republican rot
tenness.

GAYNOR MAKES OBSERVATIONS.


In an address before the National
Democratic Club of New York a few
days ago Mayor Gaynor, in question
ing whether the outcry against the
trusts is really sincere on the part
of many politicians and office-seek-
ers, said:
Four-fifths of the trusts of the
country are organized and exist I'M
der a New Jersey statute. How
easy it is to get rid of the trusts
if we want to- 1t is only necessary
to repeal that New Jersey statute,
and the similar statutes which were
passed in some of the other states.
The cutlery against these trusts
seems to be quite as loud over in
New Jersey as anywhere else in the
country. That being so, why is it
that that New Jersey statute has
not been repealed before this?
Why is it that no one in office or
out of office over in New Jersey has
asked the New Jersey legislature
to repeal it? No governor has sent
message to the legislature of any
state which has this statute calling
for its repeal, so far as l have
heard.
That is pretty plain talk. No
doubt, to a great extent, it is truth
full talk, and it would be interesting
to know who the mayor was aiming
at, Professor Wilson is the governor
of New Jersey.

too great fondness for the craythure."
To get this latter he would risk almost
anything, and seldom If ever was his

day there was an inspection of the
regiment by a Col. Barber. AS is
the custom, each mans kit is display
ed on the ground at his feet, and on
the kit is placed one pair of shoes
1.-THE other pair, of course, being on
his feeD. One by one the men were
inspected, and when Pats turn came,
contrary to the general expectation
he was passed. The colonel was busy
with the next man when, breathing
sigh of relief, Patrick, winking, wins
pered TO his neighbor:
"Ach. shure, an haven't | shaved
the Barber this time?"
The colonel heard him, and IN
stantly turned to Pat.
Tell me what you mean by that,
demanded the colonel, and upon my
word of honor I'll do nothing to you.
At this Pat kicked the kit from be-
fore him and displayed TO view pair
If bare feet, amidst the laughter OF the
Whole regiment in which the coiole
also was forced to Join.
