! Governor John NJ. Slaton refuses 10
be crowded, when crowding doesn't
suit him. He ia .es lis time alb out
whatever 1t is he has to do, and while
others may fret and fume this way
and that, the Governor remains Sc
rene and unperturbed.
Recently he pulled out his easy
/ chair, set it squarely on the lid Of the
military establishment, whence of late
many grand, gloomy and peculiar
/ noises have issued. and ne is rocking
along. taking things easy-and he viii
make up his mind as to what is what
in his own way and according to his
| own notions, when he gets good and
ready!
The Governor refuses to get excited
about things He long ago found that
excitement does not add anything
whatever to mans power of under
standing or his ability to see things
IN their just and right light.
He is very much concerned about
the differences of opinion existing in
side the State War Department, but
he is not saying anything about the
matter for publication, and not mucn
! by way Of comment of any sort He
has his own ideas and notions about
the true relation of the military cs
tablishment to the Executive Depart
ment and to the State generally
and he Is friend of the militia. AT
the same time, he isn't going to take
position that is not in accord with
common sense and sound public
policy, and he will not settle the
pending dispute until he has deter
mined exactly and precisely what mis-
duty is.
Governor Slaton has now been IN
office a little more than six months
SO far his administration has been re-
markably successful. He doesn't ex-
peCt to run 1t through without max
| ing single mistake-but he is not
going to make any If he can help It!
Wherefore, he is rocking along, on
the lid OF the military row--and he
hasn't said a word about when he VIII

The only real, good bet is that he
will not get off until he is sure, in his
own mind that the getting off time
has arrived unr istakably!

Over Ball Players
Fraternity Victory

NEW YORK, Jan. S.-Jubilant over
his success, David l.. Fultz, president
of the Baseball Players Fraternity
returned to-day from Cincinnati
where he scored big victory for the
players by having the National Base
ball Commission grant many of the
demands the players made.
1T certainly was a gloriosu victory
for the boys" said Fultz.
1--WE felt that our demands were
just, but the earlier attitude of the
National Commission did not inf1u-
ence us to hope for the granting OF
so MANY of our demands.
I'VE have accomplished about ev-
erything we aimed to accomplish al
this time. About all the reforms we
wanted were embodied in the de-
mands we made"

In the meantime, the federal re-

is known, however that there is a
growing sentiment in favor of three
or four regional banks along the At
lantic Seaboard, thus dividing the
enormous prestige that New York
has held as money center.
Atlanta was mentioned frequently
in this connection. In fact, the most
popular cities along the Atlantic Sea-
board were New York, Boston, Bal
timore and Atlanta.
For the remainder of the country,
the preponderance of opinion favored
Chicago, st. Louis, San Francisco and
New Orleans. Many other cities were
mentioned for the remaining assign
ments, among them being Denver,
Omaha, St Paul, Minneapolis, Spo-
kane. Seattle, Los Angeles, Kansas
City, Cleveland, Cincinnati, Dallas,
Houston and Pittsburg.

less than 'Woscore Of additional sig

The forr -oing may be in some par

something more-and considerable

turn the trick!
Colonel w B. Sloan. of Gainesville,
who Is being spoken of for Senator
from the Thirty-third District in the
next Legislature it being Hall County's
turn TO name the Senator under the
rotation system invoked for so many
years in Georgia, is one of the leading
lawyers in his section of the State, and
In any legislative body his constituents
might assign him to.
Colonel Sloan is, in no sense OF the
words, an active candidate for the Sen
atorship, but great many of his
friends have urged him to run, and II
may be that he will II he should, he
likely would have no opposition.
According to the political dopesmiths
from up Whitfield way, George G. Glenn,
a well-known Dalton lawyer. is to sue

representative from that county.
The race Is between Glenn and q

Governor slatons attitude, toward

been commented upon far and wide
throughout the United States.
The Governor has received a great
many letters commencing his course in
that matter, and a double handful of
newspaper clippings, all the way from
Maine TO California.
1t seems to be the custom in num-
Der or States to use the holiday sea
son as a sort OF time for letting out a
bunch of criminals. Governor Slaton
anticipated the Christmas rush in Geor-
ga last year, and put his foot down
upon II hard. He outlined his attitude
jcrscy and clearly through, the press
and the result was there was no Christ

year
Very many people seem to approve

large number of them have made that
fact known to him emphatically.
