SOME TRUTH IN THIS.

To the Editor TINES:
1 wonder If there are other women
as disguised as I am with all the SEN
sational sermons that sensational min
listers have been preaching about the
present day tight skirts the women are
wearing. One in Minneapolis even
went so far as to take pictures Of
women on the streets OF that city and
enlarge them on a screen to illustrate
his sermon on Sunday night Now I
am woman and as certainly ashamed
of some of the women who appear on
the streets in such extreme clothes but
they are seeking the attention OF men
and il men paid no attention to them
they would soon change their style To
my mind. the minister who plays to
the gallery and seeks notoriety in a
sensational sermon of this kind puts
himself quite on level with the poor
misguided woman who seeks notoriety
in wearing sensational clothes. 1 think
the minister who likened the present
tight skirt to fig leaf is as vulgar as
the poor women who wear the tight
skirts. I have no patience with men
who try to put the blame for some of
the atrocious crimes they commit on
the tight skirts worn by women 1t
certainly is not worthy of the stronger
sex. / should hate to admit l had no
better control Of my mind If I were a
man
Let men stop showing their prefer
ence for women who dress in extreme
STYLES and the styles win soon change.

SIDELIGHTS
ON GEORGIA POLITICS
BY JAMES 3. NEvIN.

Judge John W Maddox. who recent
" was elected to the presidency of the
State Mutual Life Insurance Company
of Rome, was in Atlanta today The
judge expressly denied he has any idea
Of resigning from the bench--at least.
he has no idea Of resigning any time
soon
There is nothing whatever of the
inconsistent in my holding both posi-
lions. if can do so in justice to both,
and l am surprised that the report of
my resignation should have gained
such currency" said the Judge.
There are a few aspirants to the
dgeship-entirely honorable and
worthy aspirants. Of course--who have
thought l was going to quit. and who
have expressed a desire to succeed me.
Through them the rumor of my resig
nation doubtless was given a good
send-on.
Il am glad to say. however, that the
people generally in my circuit appear
to be very well pleased that I am. not
going to turn loose.
Il had a distinct understanding with
the directors of the State Mutual with
respect to this matter before 1 agreed
to accept the presidency of the compa-
ny. If l find at any time that l am
neglecting either my duties as Judge or
as president of the company, I will
choose between them of course. Until
that time comes l shall hold both po-
sitlons"
The judges attitude in this matter
sets definitely at rest the interesting
rumors with respect to the succession
to the tudgeship Of the Rome circuit.
According to some prophets,
there is a little cloud lowering on
the Republican horizon-no bigger
than a bunch of black judicial
whiskers.
Here and there, the thing that
broke loose in Georgia recently is
being referred to as the battle of
the Tom Toms"
United States Senator James X.
Vardaman. of Mississippi, is an At
lanta visitor today.
Senator Nardaman is very optimistic
with respect to the Democratic out
look nationally, and thinks that party
should win whether the Republicans
name Roosevelt, Taft. or some dark
horse"
He inclines to the opinion. like Gov
ernor Joseph NJ. Brown, that Roosevelt
would be an easy mark" for the Dem
ocrats The senator does not think this
country ever will elect any man to the
presidency for a third term
Senator Vardaman thinks very high
ly Of Champ Clark. and believes he
would make a fine president we're he
elected. He believes the South in par
ticular would have in Clark a Arm and
dependable friend in the white house.
The picturesque Mississippian is very
| loyal TO the cause OF Underwood, how
ever and win lend mis- support to no
other candidate. so long as Underwood
remains in the running. In the event
of deadlock, Senator Vardaman thinks
Underwood's chance of eventual nom
ination exceedingly bright He real
ICES, nevertheless, that it may be Clark
on an early ballot.
Up one side and down the other
therefore, the senator does not very
well see how he can lose. whatever
happens.
