EXCURSION SPIRIT
is ABROAD ALREADY

"Detroiters are certainly quick to
get the excursion spirit after the ice
gets out OF the river" says Ed. Dus-
tin, general manager OF the Ashley &
Dustin steamer line. They seem to
get the fever for the water just about
the same time they get anxious for
baseball. Last Sunday. on our first
excursion run of the season, we had
a splendid crowd and these crowds
will get larger each Sunday on our
excursions to Toledo during May.
"The warm southern breeZes make
the trips now as pleasant, and per-
haps, more delightful than during the
regular summer months. Just as soon
as the ice gets out OF the river the
water seems to get warm and the
river and lake trips are excellent for
out -of-door recreation. even before the
country roads are in condition for mo-
toring."

A TRIBUTE TO MRS. w. X. PACE
Friend Writes of Good Woman Who
Recently Died.

Autumn is here, the saddest sea-
son of the year; autumn, when the
trees put off their garments of green
and mt on their sombre VeStments,
vhcn the leaves begin to fall and the
flowers fade and the gardens lose
their choicest bloom. There is aq-
tnmn in our hearts and a sadness
possesses us. We grieve not that the
leaves do change or that the leaves
fall We mourn that in the cool OF
the evening walk through the mower
garden and miss the bud OF rarest
choce. We would that the tull-DloWn
roses stay and that the Master Gar
dener gathered himself a bud. was
il that the rosebud was more pertect
than the rose, more ut to beautlIy
the Gardeners home? Her lie was
pure and good with noble purpose
to be doing good. We like the Things
that please us most. Her IaVorlIe
Bible chapter was the 18th chapter
of First Corinthians, and the charity
so beautifully expressed therein was
hers. Her favorite song was On,
love that will not let me go, ana the
love so sweetly told was characters
tic of her life In youth she dreamed
of what her woman's years would
bring her, and it was her purpose TO
answer the cry of Macedonia, come
over and help u.s." Her friends were
all who knew her, her enemies none.
Her smile was ready, her greeting
ever hearty and warm. She seemed
+o have all the womanly elements be-
vond her years. There was quiet
dignity about her and a steadfastness
of purpose that bespoke the woman
rather than the child Where is the
sting of death? 1t is not with her
who has gone to her long home
Int rather with us, the mourners,
who go about the streets. 1t IS be-
cause she is not with us longer, she
is in her Fathers house. Is it that
we would have back in this vale
of tears9'' She has gone into that
school where she no longer needs our
moor protection, and Christ himself
does rule." Yet, we do mourn that
she has gone. Our light has passed
behind cloud of sadness. and cast
grim shadows DER our lives. we
mourn because of the vacant chair,
voiceless echo, the unheard toottalI.
/ She lives and shall continue to i've
1 in memories that feed the soul OF
/ love with tears" but in our hearts
our sadness is made sacred. ShS
makes for us another bond to draw
us to the eternal home at last where
beyond these voices there is peace.
We bow our heads in humble sub
mission to our Fathers will and eX
claim with the poet:
And then I think OF her who in hel
youthful beauty died,
The fair weak blossom that grew VI
= and faded by my side;
z In the cold moist earth we laid her
T where the forest cast the leaf,
And we weep that one so motherl
should have a life so brief.

DEGRADES HIMSELF
rom the RossvilIe New Age.

From the ROssvilIe New Age.
THE time is coming when the
white man will know that it is to
his interest as we'll as his duty to
treat the negro as an equal. I have
preached the doctrine of negro
equality all my life, and I will tell
the white man, just the same as I
tell you, that the negro is the equal
of the white man. Theodore
Roosevelt, at Chicago, July, 1912.
No wonder this man, who claims
to be an American citizen with the
characteristics of the Caucasian race,
was defeated for the highest gift in
the sphere of the voters of the great
est white republic under the sun. 1t
is no shock TO the civilized world
that such a fearful depreciation of
his own blood by his own tongue
should bring upon Teddy unmitigated
defeat at the hands of self-respecting
members of the race which has
achieved the highest notch of human
civilization. 1t is not only we'll, but
very we'll, that all such creatures as
the bull mOOsea-a man who Wiifully
deliberately and knowingly degrades
himself to the standard of a world
recognized inferior race for political
or social interests-sh should be retired
from public life. Shame on the bull
moose! May he ever grow smaller
and smaller for the littleness and
seIf-inflicted degradation which
brands him as negro at heart, as
indicated in the above extract taken
from his speech to negroes at Chicago
last July.

CHAIRMAN w. J. HARRIS.

Among the democrats who loom

and in whose honor the people of his
home county, Polk, gave a barbecue
Tuesday His ability and his zeal so
impressed the people of the state that
the largest vote in years was polled
for the party nominees, and it is log
ical that he receive congratulations.
He wears his honors modestly, and
in the first flush of victory he takes
occasion, in an interview printed in
Wednesdays Atlanta Constitution, to
express some wholesome views to
those who are thinking of the party S
victory chiefly as means of secur-
ing office. He lets it be known that
he is not going to be-does not as
pire to be--a boss who dispenses pat
ronage, and admonishes those who
seek office to 90 to the Georgia con-
who have authority in such
matters. Chairman Harris has shown
that he has a way of doing the right
thing

A MINORITY VICTORY.

From the Albany Herald.
Although Wilson and Marshall will
receive a large majority in the cleo
toraI college q careful analysis OF the
vote cast at the polls ON the 9Th of
November reveals the fact that the
democratic ticket has won only a
minority victory. Semi-official re-
turns now available show that the
democrats owe their victory to the
fact that the republicans were di-
vided into two factions.
The Atlanta Constitution had a
timely editorial analyzing the vote
and admonishing the democrats that
the party is confronted by a grave
situation and that it would be we'll
for their leaders to temper their re-
joicing with prayers for guidance. r"
If we unite the votes of Taft and
Roosevelt in Massachusetts, New Jer-
sey, New York, Indiana, Wyoming,
Nebraska, Iowa-indeed, most of the
states carried, with the exception of
the South, by Wilson and Marshall
it will be found that the totals far
exceed the vote of the democratic
nominees. The Constitution shows
conclusively that in not less than
thirty-twO states the combined re-
publican vote exceeded the democrat
ic vote, and that if the republican
party had been united the majority
against Wilson and Marshall in the
electoral college would have been ap-
proXimatey 1855 votes.
The admonition which the COnsti-
tuition gives to the democratic party
leaders to go about the work which
comes to them in this time of great
responsibility thoughtfully and pray
erfully is timely.

WE HAVE A DEFENDER?
From the Savannah Press.

From the Savannah Press.
Judge w. r. Hammond of Atlanta
is strongly advocating a state defend
er for the accused and suspected
criminal as a balance to the state
prosecutor
1t is argued that as the state has
it's public prosecutor Justice prompts
that the suspected criminal should be
given the benefit of a defense at the
states expense; it being as much a
part of the preservation of Justice
to rescue the innocent as to punish
the guilty.
Judge Hammond in recommending
the institution of this office quotes
from Dr. j. H. Stopler, the public
defender of the state of Oklahoma,
and says:
When the state, with all the pow
er at its disposal, stretches out it's
mighty arm and brings the person
of the defendant to the bar of JUS
tice the state, as parens
patria, owes it to itself and to the
defendant, when he is unable to
make his own defense, to give him
every assistance to properly defend
himself.
Many other authorities might be
quoted, says Judge w. R. Ham
mond, to show that the greatest and
brOadest thinkers of the land are
on this line and take this view But
what says our law? 1t says the court
may assign counsel for the prisoner,
but makes no provision for paying
him. He must perform the arduous
work without pay, and consequently
it falls into young and uneXperienc-
ed hands.
1t might be pointed out also that if
suspicion unhappily centers upon an
innocent person he suffers a serious
damage in consequence, and the state
should go to some pains to right this
wrong against an innocent person.
The. very least to be expected would
seem to be the benefit of an intelli-
gent defense.
Judge Hammond, being in haste
to bring this reform in Georgia,
hopes that a sentiment in the state
may be aroused in time to assure the
passage of a bill providing for the
of a public defender by
proper authorities in every county.

WAR CLOUDS THREATEN.

The war that is being waged in
European Turkey by the four Balkan
states is assuming grave aspects, if
the Geographic reports are reliable.
Turkey was expected to put up more
of formidable fight than she seems
to have been able to do. 1t is not a
secret that the great powers Of Eu-
rope regarded Turkey as competent
to not alone repel the invaders, but
perhaps to punish them for the ag-
erosion. Now the news comes that
the Turkish armies are defeated;
that the Turkish government is suing
for peace and that the four Balkan
states are planning to occupy Euro
pean Turkey permanently and divide
it among themselves as the spoil o
war.
1t is a surprising outcome, 70

After publishing semi-weekly edi-

man Advertiser announces that it has
had enough. and will return to its old
place as a weekly paper. The cost
of publishing newspapers that are in
any way meeting the demands of the
public has almost doubled the past
few years, and a paper has to have
a pretty good volume of business and
a steady income to keep going. The
day of the newspaper printed in an
Office equipped with a G. Washington
press and shirt-tail full of long
primer type has passed.
