Letter From D. B. Null
Washington, D. c..
September 1913.
The Leader-En Enterprise,
Fitzgerald, Ga.

llLS Cl hlN, oo'
Sirs:
The Democrats and Republicans
are still fighting over the tariff
and the currency bill. No human
being seems to know what the out
come will be when the bill becomes
law, but the Lord knows, nlt be-
ing a temporal issue, and the
Lord reveals temporal things to
human beings. Men were put
here to make temporal provision
for men: man must take control OF
all temporal things in the world
or else suffer in the end. When
God created the universe, He first
created the heavens and the earth
then the living things that creep
upon the earth, after which He
created man and gave him domin-
ion over everything which he had
created, then He created His ma
tural laws to govern all these, and
put them in operation for His Own
glory. Then He allowed man to
put the temporal things on this
earth in operation for the good OF
man. Every man who violates the
natural laws suffers in some way
or the other. Earthly things are
earthly, and spiritual things are
spiritual, because He is spiritual
they belong to God, and He con-
trolls them all. Man has only 10
carry them out as far as he ls
concerned. He made the law 10
protect each individual person.
and every being is responsible TOT
MS own act. Now, if our grea'
iaw-making body passes laws thai
are detrimental to our nation, we
who elect them are responsible for
them and the whole nation suffers
from their act, so YoL can see how
cautious we should be in electlng
our national representatives to
make laws to maintain this govern
ment of our great nation. A man
who comes here to Washington
and studies our national affairs
will see how important 1t is to
elect good men to take care of our
local and national interests. Things
in general appear very disturbed,
viewed from any point. We are
having disastrous storms; cloud
bursts; railroad wrecks; discussions
of the tariff and currency bills;
Harry X. Thaw has escaped while
State laws were being violated;
the trial of Diggs and Caminetti
and Asiatic disturbances, while
the whole kworld is in state of
great unrest, withgthe war clouds
hanging over many countries, the
people of the world are living in a
state of excitement from many
causes. All these things GO TO
make the current affairs of our
nation and of the world intensely
interesting.

What the Other Fellows Say,

 A lazy man is stench in the nostrils of any community .-Woodbury Reporter.
 When the camera concerns are asked if they have combined in restraint of trade, it is expected that they will reply in the negative.-Hartford Post.
 Great Burlington is getting ambitious. It wants a federal building. It pays to be ambitious, but Great Harrington would stand better chance if it were located south of the Mason and Dixon line.- Pittsfeld Eagle.
 Yale's new field is started and the frs spadeful was turned up by President Hadley. Whats the matter with putting Professor Bill Taft of the Steamshovel Workers union on the job and hustling it along Waterbury Republican.
 The Houston Post is shocked at the idea of Connecticut amending its laws so as to permit band concerts and recreation on Sunday. "No, mo-" exclaims our Texas contemporary, "Connecticut must be true and firm and resolutely prohibit such things and permit the great vice to have the right of way."-Hartford Times.
 The esteemed Bridgeport Post" SO often childishly jealous of Hartford, comes right out in an editorial and de- clares that "If Hartford is not worth $5o,- 100000 more than Bridgeport, it is not worth a cent. ."-Hartford Courant.
 The old-time Fourth, of tremendous noise making, while highly pleasurable to Young America, could scarcely be said to be conducive to the peace of mind of his elders. Dignity, too, would seem to require less dim and more music, games, and out-of-door pageants, which all citizens can enjoy equally, in the cele- bration of a national holiday y.-Bridge- port Standard.
 Children's Sunday and Mothers day have been observed, and if Dad can be persuaded to go to church, Fathers Sunday will undoubtedly be arranged.- New Haven Union. '..

Jolted The Judge.

They were speaking about the funny ones that occasionally bulge out in the august court room the other evening when Senator Henry Lippitt of Rhode Island recalled the dlscomhture that once came to New England judge.
 The case before the court,~the senator said, was directly due 10 cratic flight of a rock that had gone through plate glass window.
 The man who threw the rock was in the prisoners pen, and an old lady, who had seen the excitement was in the wit ness chair. The judge took up the examination.
 Look this way. madam" said his Honor, closing his hand. "Was the stone you saw thrown as big as my fist?"
 ''It was bigger" answered the wit ness with impressive deliberation.
 "I see," returned the judge, closing both hands together, "Was it as big as my two fists ?'
 Ut was bigger" rejoined the old lady in the same slow voice.
 Good" returned the judge, with a look of encouragement. Was the stone as big as my head ?''
 "It was just about as long as your head" slowly replied the witness, but not quite so thick"

His Qualification.

From Pullman car recently Henry F. Hollis, the first democratic United States senator from New Hampshire. for more than 50 years glanced at lone crossing tender and smiled. It reminded him. he explained. of staunch friend named Mike.
 Some time age it was desired to get Mike position as crossing tender on the railroad, and several of his friends went to the superintendent for that purpose.
 "I would like to give Mike job," re- sponded the superintendent to whom he was well known, "but am afraid that he won do."
 Wont do.' exclaimed the delegation ln surprise. "Why he is one of the most careful and trustworthy men in the whole state."
 II know that" smiled the superinten- dent, "but doubt if he would be able to wave a red flag while there was a green one handy"

A EALTH CREED.

Civic creeds are becoming fashionable. So are the ten commandments up to date. The Housing Com mittee of the Chicago Woman's Aid Association has chosen the latter as form in which to bear home some vital hygienic commands. They are:
 l. Thou shalt honor the city and keep it's laws.
 3, Remember thy cleaning day and keep it wholly.
 3. Thou shalt love and cherish thy children and provide them with decent homes and playgrounds.
 4. Thou shalt not keep thy windows closed day or night.
 5. Thou shalt keep in order thy alley, thy backyard thy hall and stairway.
 6. Thou shalt not kill thy neighbors' bodies with poisonous air. nor their souls with bad companions.
 z. Thou shalt not let the wicked fly live.
 8. Thou shalt not steal thy children's right to happiness from them.
 9. Thou shalt bear witness against thy neighbours rubbish heap.
 10. Thou shalt covet all the air and sunlight thou canst obtain.
 Whosoever shall obey these command ments of the Chicago women will keep his feet in the straight and narrow path to health and happiness.

Deeds of Love.

It doesn't cost a single cent To pass pretty compliment; In happy, smiling, gracious way, A cheery, pleasant word to say. It doesn't cost a cent to take Things as they come, to gently make Out of the Wise Creators plan The very, very best we can. It doesn't cost a cent to bring To lonely hearts, and sorrowing, A bit of comfort, to shut out Just for moment gloom and doubt. It doesn't cost cent to clasp A neighbours hand in friendly grasp, To bid him feel by one warm press The sympathy one can't confess. It doesn't cost cent, my friend, An absent brother to defend; The stepping stones to stars above Are little daily deeds of love.

JOURNALISTIC GENIUS.

The unknown creative genius who makes news for the Associated Press in this section, did things to the story of the railroad accident at this station last Monday, In manner that must have challenged the admiration of all readers blessed with a faculty for appreciating picturesque performance with the "long bow" Toward the end of long, i'm aginative account of the disaster, startl- ing in it's vivid detail aud striking in It's originality of literary architecture, this statement appears. ill the New York Tribune and other metropolitan dailies, under Canaan date-line, of Monday night
 "Dr. O. W. Camp, medical examiner, began an investigation tonight as to the reason why no brakemen were left with the detached section of the train. In all probability the findings of the investiga- tion will be made the basis of an inn mediate demand for grand jury action.
 s"According to statement by Dr. Camp shortly before midnight the ac- cident was due solely to the unguarded condition of the com bination train"
 This has an ominous sound, and is calculated to give the medical examiner provocation for puffing up with sense of dignified importance. But Dr. Camp fails, utterly to appreciate that aspect of 1t. -Rot," he calls it, and proceeds to dissect the story. Says he: II have head no investigation, nor have I issued statement of any kind, either officially OF privately. Any person of ordinary intelligence knows that the medical examiner could act, officially, only in case of death, and then he would notify the coroner of the county who would. ordinarily, conduct or order the investi- gation. The story is made out of whole cloth and I resent being placed in false and ridiculous light.'
 But the medical examiner should not have taken the personal allusion at long metre. especially in view of the blithe- some manner in which other details of the wreck were handled by the same fan tastic genius. For example:
 "A combination passenger and milk Graln, standing unprotected by nagmen or brakemen on spur track in this town. was crashed into by fast freight"
 The facts: The train was not stand ing on spur track and was not crashed into by fast freight. It was moving slowly, on the main track, and drifted, rear.end foremost. against the side of a freight train that was backing slowly over the crossing.
 "When the additional car was shunt- ed on, it's momentum started this section backward down sharp grade and straight into the path of the oncoming freight, which tore into the wooden coaches with the force of an avalanche
 Three additional cars were shunted an. There is no "sharp grade," the
