JUDGE NOT LEST
YE BE JUDGED
Most of Us However, Have
This Bad Fault

She was an insignificant little per-
son, one of those uno5trusive beings
who are not effective in society AMI
everybody thought how kind it was II
her rich, attractive aunt to give her
a home. Indeed, some even limited that
she ought to have made an effort to
earn her own living.
Many years after, and only by al
accident, did people learn the truth
The aunt had lost most OF her for,
tune, and the niece, who was not pen
niless, had contributed money to the
household. and saved the former from
being deprived OF many # her con-.
forts.
In her quiet way this insignificant
little person had been very nearly a
heroine, because she had never even
limited that the obligation was not on
her side All her friends had mis-,
judged her, and she had submitted IN
silence TO the painful affliction of not
being appreciated.
The results of this mistake could
lever be wholly undone, for nothing
could ever atone for the lone time dur
ing which she had suffered from hec
neighbors' unkind criticism.
Around us are thousands of our
fellow-beings, whose actions to an on
locker in many cases appear as sens =
less and unaccountable as the move
ments of dancers when the music
which inspires them is ~unheard. With
out knowing all the motives and influ-
ences at work, how can we possibly
judge a strangers conduct and why
should we be cruel enough to condemn
it hastily?
1t is very common to say, If l were
So-and-so, l would do this or that,
but in truth, unless you are actually
So-and-so, or initiated into the whole
of that inner life which is now hidden
from you, it is impossible to guess
how you would act, and whether you
would manage better than she does.
Even if you did not commit the sam5
faults as the object of your CRITICS n
you would commit different ones. for
allowances must be made for individ-
ual temperaments. We are not al
alike, and the world would be very du!
if we were

of such importance, and the additional
fact that probably there will be other
candidates in the field who at this tina
are more widely known to the people
of Georgia than am l, my friends have
advised me to enter the race at once.
In the beginning of this announce
ment, want to say that l am entering
the race as free aud untrammeled
candidate and in like manner, l shall
come out of it either in victory or de-
feat / shall side-step no issue, BAT
shall stand up in the full stature of a.

nay have said or done to reflect dis
credit ON the people of Georgia, my
friends or myself.
NO acrimonious or slanderous
charges shall ever fall from my lips.
and the only reference that will ever
be made to other candidates will be-
as to their fitness for public service.
Far be it from my purpose ever a.
attempt in any way to array one class
of our people against another. No
demagogic appeal shall ever be made
by me TO influence the voters of this
state, in my behalf, nor will I permit
any man, or set of men, to do so, il
within my power to prevent it. My
candidacy will be founded on the is.

cially OF this great commonwealth.

RALPH 0. COCHRAN is
OUT FOR U. S. SENATE
Formal Announcement Has
Been Made

Atlanta, Ga, April 12.-Ralph O..
Cochran. representative-slect from
Fulton county and president of the
Ralph o. Cochran Real Estate compa-
ny OF Atlanta, on Saturday announced
his candidacy for election to the Unit
ed States senate in 1914 to succeed
Senator Hoke Smith.
While the announcement of Mr..
Cochran was not entirely unexpected,
il nevertheless created a ripple in To-
cal political circles which will spread
over the state.
Mr.. Cochran is young man and
business man, and his appearance in
the race injects new sap in political
timber. Mr. Cochran's candidacy was
prompted by the appeal OF many of his
friends who are aware of the tremen-
dous industrial awakening in the South
and who believe it is to the South's in
terest to have more practical business
men in the law-making bodies.
Several meetings of the inner-Hone
circle recently in Atlanta would seem
to indicate that already there is some
uneasiness in the Smith camp.
Mr. Cochran's formed announcement
follows:
AT the suggestion of many friends,
I have decided to offer for the Unite1
States senate in the election of 1914,
to succeed Senator Hoke Smith, and
with very limited statement, 1 now
announce my candidacy.
If my wishes and personal prefer
ence controlled me, would defer this
announcement for many months. But
owing to the fact that there are so
many burdens incident to a campaign

and Water.

Guy l. Bradford, 1872 Woodruff ave-
nue. has announced himself a candi-
date for the office of city commission
er of waterworks and electric lights,

DID YOU LOSE A PIN?
Man Advertised He'd Found One and
Had 100 Answers.

When a prominent Topeka insurance
man picked up a valuable ladies' pin
last Monday just after lunch he imag-
ined that it would require at least
three insertions of a Found" ad in
the State Journal to locate the owner.
So he dropped into the Journal office
and left copy for the ad, paying for
three insertions.
By Tuesday noon he was anxious
enough to have the ad taken out. Had
he found the owner? Well, he says
he not only found the real owner, but
he had found scores of people who
had lost pins and who were not
owners.
The State Journal had not been in
the street fifteen minutes before they
began ringing my telephone he said.
THE first woman had lost a bar pin.
OF course 1 was sorry that the pin
I had found was not hers, and so was
she. A few minutes later another called
up. 1t was lodge pin this time that
had been lost, and again 1 had to tell
her the pin L had was not hers. I had
given no description, just said I had
found a pin Before l went home to
lunch a little girl called me to say she
had lost a fraternity pin. But that
description did not apply.
ut was early the next morning I
found the owner, who gave me a par
to call and take home her property.
But they are calling US yet about those
pins. 1 don't know when they win
stop.
IF anybody ever tells ME again that
there is no power in advertising 1
simply shall say they don't know what
they are talking about. l know.

1t sounds queer to take a blood bath
but that is percisely the effect of a most
remarkable remedy known S. S. S. 1t
has the peculiar action of soaking
blood. In five minutes its influence is at

larry. Every membrane, every organ of
the body, every enunctory becomes in
effect a filter to strain the blod of i'm
purities. The stimulating properties of
S. S. S. compel the skin, liver, bowels,

formations in the nerve centers that
cause such mystifying and often battling

And best of all, this remarkable rem
edy is welcome to the weakest stomach.
If you have drugged yourself until your
stomach is nearly paralyzed. you will be
aStonished to find that S. S. S. gives no
sensation but goes right to work. This
Is because it is a pure vegetable infusion,
is taken naturally into your blood just as
pure air is inhaled naturally into your

Panama Canal Statistics

The canal will be fifty miles
long from deep water to deep
water and about forty-one miles
from shore shore. It varies
in width of channel from 300 to
1000 feet. Its minimum depth
is Al feet. Ordinary vessels will
pass through it within from nine
and a half to ten hours and the
largest vessels within from ten
and a half to eleven hours. It
shortens the water distance be-
tween New York and San Fran
cisco 300 miles and the distance
between New York and Hawaii
$500 miles. 1t will be fortified
and become a source of great
naval advantage to the United
States in case of war. While the
glory of the achievement belongs
to the people of the United
States, too much praise can not
be bestowed on Col. George w.
Goethals, chairman of the 18TH
milan Canal Commission and chief
engineer. He has combined all
the qualities essential to the COM
pletion of the canal in the short
est time and at the least expen-
diture of money and men. AS a
civil administrator he has proved
equally strong, and the health
and moral conditions in the canal
zone have been the marvel of all
visitors. No project of anything
like it's scale has been handled
more satisfactorily in the history
of the world.
