ROOSEVELT THE POLITICIAN.

Theodore Roosevelt presents the
over ambition that this country has
witnessed for many years. His DOM
mating desire to win popular favor
has blinded him to all sense of honor
and dignity. He has forfeited honesty
and self respect in a desperate at
tempt to cling to the last shreds Of
his tattered hopes. Like the drown
ing man in whom the instinct Of pre-
servation has suffocated reason, he is
clutching wildly in last attempt
either to save himself or get a death
grip on his victim that he may not
go down alone The whole affair
would be humorous if it did not re-
fleet SO sadly on the dignity of Amer
lean craftsmanship.
few years ago and Mr.. Roosevelt
was the idol of the American peo-
pie. A few months ago and those
same people thought so we'll of him
that they did not believe he would go
back on his deliberate declaration that
ne would not be a candidate for a
third term under any conditions
They preferred to associate him with
the great men Of our country who
placed the interests Of the nation
above their own ambitions. But to-
day the scene Is changed. The char
acter Of Mr.. Roosevelt is stripped of
all the glamor of the past, all the
airy idealizations that an adlniring
populace have thrown round it. He is
no longer a Washington, a Jefferson, a
Jackson, or Lincoln. He is a petty.
vicious little politician playing off
empty batteries on the people and
raging at the prospects of his coming
defeat as only a man of diminutive
caliber can.
Mr.. Roosevelt's vicious attacks on
President Taft-the man whom he
Landed to the skies four years ago
were entirely uncalled for. He has
knowingly and wantonly CARRIED the
Presidents statements by taking sim
gle sentences out of the context of
his speeches and putting far-fetched
Interpretation on them. as Mr. Taft
has clearly shown. He has insinu-
ated that the President Is the hire
ling Of the trusts and he has since
been forced to admit that he is re-
ceiving financial aid from George w.
Perkins former partner of ]. P. Nor
gan. and now chairman of the Finance
Committee Of the Harvester Trust
and a director of the Steel Trust. Mr..
Roosevelt is insincere. He has proven
to the world that whatever else may
be credited to him, it cannot be said
that he is a gentleman.
1t must be said to the lasting credit
of President Taft that he cid not de-
scend to compaign of personalities
until further silence would be the i'm
prudent course. While Mr.. Roosevelt
was hurrying about Pennsylvania, New
York. Illinois and other states fay
Ing the administration right and left
and calling attention to the unfltness
OF President Taft, the latter kept his

careless in his speech, until Mr.. Taft

"WIDE OPEN" TOWN
is THE CORDELE ISSUE
Formation of Locker Club is Held TO
Be Cause of Issue Being Made.

Corde'e, Nov 2.-It is the opinion of
those best informed on municipal poll
tics in Cordele that the primary cleo
ton on November 10 for mayor and
three aldermen will mark a fight be-
tween two distinct factions, the wide
openers" and the tight lid" element.
There is no doubt that w. H. Doris,
present incumbent of the o ce OF
mayor, will champion the cause OF
the conservatives, and there is every
indication that the wide openers will
come out solid for Fred Harder on
the day of the election.
1t is asserted by those who favor a
wide open town and conceded by 9TH
ers who are opposed to it, that the es-
adjustment of a locker" club in the
city on the eve of the election, an or
ganization that the citys administra-
ton has no jurisdiction over whatso-
ever, it seems, is one of the shrewd
est moves within recent years to put
the open town cement in the saddle.
1t is claimed that the club has Sc
cured no state license and that they
are keeping liquors stored in their
quarters. Yet on the ground that
their location is not public place, the
idea of the police interfering on the
charge of storing LIQUORS in public
pace" seems to have been discounted.
Every available idea is being ferreted
out by Mayor Doris and the city coun-
Gil to get at the club, but all efforts
so far have failed 1t is charged by
friends of the tight lid" element that
the establishment of the club in Dor
ris' administration will be a reflection
on his term of office, if he does not de-
else means to eliminate it.

the very letter, of all these claims,
Christ bases his right to divine recog
milton. He claimed that it was his
prerogative to forgive sin; that he was
the only way to God; that outside of
him there was no peace and no way
of access to the Father; that unless
he was trusted and believed in with a
whole heart there was absolutely no
hope of seeing heaven; that he was
the divinely appointed Redeemer of
the world and that the worlds re-
demption and salvation depended alb
solutely upon him alone; that the
power of life and death was in his
hands; and that all the Old Testament
predictions received their fulfillment
in him. So strong were these claims
that on one occasion the Jews were
eXasperated with him and said, What
sign showest thou us If thou be all
that thou claimest to be-" In answer
to this challenge. Christ referred to
his resurrection and said, If | do not
rise again from the dead, do not be-
lieve my claim" On his resurrection
therefore, Jesus Christ based the vim
dication of all his claims-as Paul
says, He was declared to be the Son
of God by his resurrection from the
dead" So long as Christ's resurrec-
ton remains an accredited fact of his
tory. then that Galilean peasant
Jesus of Nazareth. is indeed and in
truth the Son of the Most High God,
and the Saviour of the world
Christ's enemies realized the i'm
portance of Jesus resurrection and
because of this, bribed the soldiers to
say that the disciples came and stole
away his body.

The Story of the Old French Market
and Its Wonderful Coffee

and as a consequence French Market Coffee
has become the National Drink of the South.
The ships on which the choicest growth of
coffees come to America are unloaded directly
at the docks at the French Market Mills,
avoiding transportation in freight cars in cold
climates. This makes a great difference in
flavor. And the old secret process of roasting
and blending, though taking longer than that
of ordinary mills, produces an exquisite favor
entirely different from that of ordinary cotfees.
The completion of the French Market Mills
and the shipping of this wonderful blend
throughout the South-has been recognized
everywhere as one of the greatest commercial
achievements in many years.

What comfort the resurrection is
hope and confidence in the life to
come in Jesus Christ the Savior of the
world! The world may deride, and
mock, and sneer. and ridicule. but the
believer exclaims, II know that my
Redeemer liveth." and this is ample
evidence that the believers faith has
not been misplaced.
II. The resurrection of Christ is a
guarantee of our own resurrection.
Paul's thoughtful and inspired infer
ence from Christs resurrection is
this: Because he lives we shall live
also" In the words of DR. Parker,
the apostle is continually simplifying.
Place an acorn in his hand and imme-
dat ely he feels the weight of a
mighty oak Give him one little bulb.
and Immediately you have touched the
fountains of his eloquence and he de-
scribes gardens and paradises and
heavens Paul saw the whole in the
part--he saw our resurrection in
Christ. If Christ rose from the dead,
then the graveyard is not permanent
thing The apostle will have every
little child brought back. The resur-
rection shall be accompanied by a
shout-does this shout intimate or sig
Nifty the spirits leaving heaven and 60
ing to the graveyard claiming their
bodies? Who knows?
Without the resurrection of Christ,
there is no certainty of our own resur-
rection and that of our loved ones, If
Christ be not risen then all who have
died have persisted eternally. Then
we have no hope of seeing those who
have gone before. But we have a
better hope than that Because
live, We shall live also" As in Adam
all die, so In Christ shall all be made
alive For If the dead rise not, then
is not Christ raised"
Firm and fast as the grave now
seems to held the bodies of our dear
loved ones, it is now doomed as a
fruit of Christ's resurrection. and will
be compelled one day to relax its
grasp. and yield them up to us again.
bmDty DIS was LOSSpH ScpulCIIt
when the angel stood before 1t, so
shall one day be every grave on earth,
when another angel shall sound his
trumpet and 1t shall ring through all
the regions Of the dead, and still all to
life again.
III. The resurrection of Christ man
TESTS his victory over death and the
grave
Up to this time, deaths claims had
been undisputed All opposition to
that dead enemy had been without
effect. Sin reigned in the realm and
sovereignty of death, and death reign
ed in sin. The purpose of Christ's
coming into the world and assuming
human form was that he might by his
own death abolish death as the wages
of sin. 1t was when he rose and left
the dead that Satan's empire fell.
Christ's victory over death was dra-
matically complete on the day of his
resurrection
