Herewith is a statement by Woodrow
Wilson Of his understanding of some of
the chief elements in national progress
ivism.-Editor.)
What strikes me about our day is that
everything is new. Some men haven't
discovered it, but the fact is so.
Everything is new and therefore every
question must be approached from a new
angle and naturally with new men. For
example, the great question Of conser-
walton is not merely to keep our forests
renewed, our water supply protected
against further depreciation, and our
mines from'.waste. That is only the OBJ
vious superficial part of conservation.
The real thing that we have to conserve
in America is the American people, their
energy, their capacity to hope and to
achieve. Our task is 10 see that
great and ardent people are not de-
pressed.
Sometimes when talk with manufactu-
rers realize how true 1t is that they
study every piece of machinery that
they are dealing with except the human
machine. man will dismiss an en-
ploye if he overdrives delicate machine.
Yet he will not dismiss a superintendent
If he puts an intolerable strain upon the
muscles, nerves and spirits of the work.
man.
1 say conservation in America is a
new question, because the intolerable
pressure of economic conditions never
rested upon America before, as now rests
upon it, and we have got to lift and re-
lieve that pressure in order to release
America again for the kind of achieve
ment that has made her distinguished.
What disturbs this nation most is the
slow, steady, as 1t were, inevitable dis
appearance of the elements of competi-
ton which regulated prices and at the
same time so great similarity of man
ufactures that we have got vastly more
than we can use for ourselves and must,
unless we suffer severe contraction, have
relief in foreign markets. And so our
trade is fairly bursting it's Jacket, and the
value is mounting until it has to find an
outlet over the wall of the tariff, and
it is very difficult to make an outlet
without making an inlet.
We are, building the Panama canal
for the English and the Germans, not
for ourselves. We haven't any ships
to send through it. It will be long
time before America uses that canal
for the carrying trade of the world.
"while we are shifting our own cur
rents we are not preparing ourselves
to take advantage of the changed condi-
tions of the world, and here we sit cry
ing out against change when the world
is changing under our feet, Progressive
ness means not getting caught stand

States typifes to me. I never look at

IN the frmness and regularity with which the
city recorder is administering the law against the
carrying OF concealed weapons there is an example
worthy to be followed by kindred and higher courts
throughout the state. BY his unbending attitude
toward this particular ofense he is doing much to
protect the community against crime in general and
to uphold all other good statutes and ordinances.
In binding over defendant in such case yes
terday. the recorder reminded him that Atlanta is
no western ranch town or Mexican fastness where
men must go about with pistols strapped to their
thighs. The customs and requirements that held
good in the perilous days Of Daniel Boone no longer
obtain certainly not in Georgia; and in the fercest
Of the old Indian times the who carried a
hidden weapon was considered either a coward or
menace. Nine times out Of ten he BOTH just as
he is today.
Happily. there is rising tide OF public senti-
ment everywhere against this evil. Some states
notably New York, have within recent months
passed laws so stringent as to forbid even the pos
session OF firearms without license especially pro-
cured for that purpose. Legislatures cannot exert
themselves too earnestly in this direction, and
courts cannot be too severe in enforcing such laws
as exist.
The judges in Georgia have recently shown
commendable activity in imposing maximum SEN
tence for such trespasses whenever the occasion
arises It is the duty Of all iures. grand as well as
petit, to support them in this good work
It rests very largely with jurors to determine
just how effective the law against carrying con-
ceaIed pistols shall be made. Let every one of
them IN behalf Of the states good order its lives
and its homes to it that when an oense of this
character is brought to trial it shall be duly pun

a NEGLECTED OPPORTUNITY

One OF the most cheering omens of the south's
progress is that within recent years it has come
keeny to realize its practical needs and limitations.
BY its thoroughgoing dissatisfaction over num-
Der Of things it has taken long stride toward
deep and permanent prosperity.
Il means a vast DEAL for instance. that our farm
ers and merchants should have awakened to the
truth that millions of dollars are being drained
from this section each year through long neglect
Of the stock breeding industry, and that in this
important field the south has Jagged far behind her
opportunities and her duty TO herself.
The Southern Railway, in its campaign of pub
licity to develop the sections latent resources has
issued booklet which abounds in truly startling
facts and figures 1t sets forth, among other things
that:
The south offers over one hundred million dol
lars annually to the live stock breeders who viii
locate within her borders and supply the demand
for meats.
nat the south consumes more meat per capita
than any other section Of the country.
nat scores of southern cities are offering more
than twenty-five million dollars yearly to the dairy
men who viii supply their demand for dairy
products.
The booklets containing these and other arrest
ing facts are to be distributed throughout the west
and the northwest with view Of bringing to this
section new capital and workers. "
Such conditions as have been described should
not only invite alert and productive settlers but
also arouse the farmers OF Georgia netghborag
states to the vast opportunities that have thus far
been overlooked at home.
out OF its own fields the south can clothe and
feed its people If they win but seize and turn to
account the resources at hand

It has for months been apparent that
Mexico is in a bad way. There is but
very little republican sentiment in the
republic of Mexico; by no means
enought to run a republic An auto.
crazy is the only government that Mex.
leo is fitted for. Those people must
be ruled by a strong hand.
OF course. Uncle Sam could rule that
country; but that is because he has a
strong hand; 1t is because he has the
power to put the Mexican bandits and
desperadoes down and out; if they
were 10 go up against him.
Madero seems utterly incapable OF
ruling Mexico. Mexico needs a man
like Diaz or Grant or Sheridan. Ma

Dear Mrs. Thompson-There is a

You should not ask for gentle

belongs only to intimate friends.
Dear Mrs. Thompson have been
keeping company for three years with
man Of good principles. He has
asked me to marry him, but as he has

object as they think my prospects for
happiness with him are not very
bright. What would you advise me to
do? MARIE.
If this friendship has lasted for three
years. you should be able to arrive at
a decision for yourself. You know
whether you love this man enough to
accept the risks involved Marriage is
not holiday affair, but solemn com

SOME THIRD TERM HISTORY.

A leading Pennsylvania paper has
taking OF proving that the American
people are irreyocably opposed to a
third term of the presidency. a fact
which, the paper says, is evidenced by
facts OF comparatively recent occur
renee, which demonstrate clearly that
the trend Of public opinion on this i'm
portant matter is unmistakable and the
Interpretation is as plain as anything
could possibly be.
General John r. Hartranft was elect
ed governor of Pennsylvania on his
merits as "a soldier and public officer
by republican plurality OF 34,36S in
October. 1872. A month later the same
state gave General Grant a majority Of
$4,000 for a second term of the presi-
denoy. but at the republican state con-
venuon in 1874. Mr.. Allison OF Juniata
county offered this resolution;
Resolved, That II General Grant be
n candidate for u third term. the repub-
lican party of Pennsylvania would sup
port him
Hon. o. J. Dckey, the successor of
Thaddeus Stevens in congress. opposed
the resolution, and said:
III General Grant desired a third
term. there is honesty and patriotism
enough in the republican party 20 stand
by the precedent established by Wash
ington. No man in this country ought

be attempted. the people with unanim
ity with which they rushed forward 10
save the union, would crush out the
man who would dare break down SO
wise a precedent The people OF Ian
caster county are emphatically opposed

At the general election which follow

lieutenant governor by a plurality Of
4,679, despite the plurality OF 135,00I
cast for General Grant two years be

face against a third term movement
Lieutenant governor was the only state
officer voted for that year in Pennsyl
vania.
The states OF Massachusetts,. New

and illinois gave an aggregate republi
