would avail absolutely nothing
the nation which had accom-
pilshed It! The world grows
weary of butchery which leads
only to bankruptcy and of tragedy
which ends in farce.
1t is just within the bounds of
possibility that when our sense
of humor Is sufficiently developed
it will reinforce our common
sense and refuse to perpetuate
this sordid and bloody farce.
John Rusllin has phrased 1t for
us:
Friends, know not whether
this be the more ludicrous or the
more melancholy. 1t is quite I'M
speakably both. Suppose, instead
of being sent for by you, 1 have
been sent for by some private
gentleman, living in a suburban
house, with his garden separated
only by a fruit-wall from his
next-door neighbours house, and
he had called me to consult with
him on the furnishing of his
drawing room. I begin looking
about me, and find the walls rath-
er bare; I think such and such a
paper might be desirable-per-
haps little fresco here and there
on the ceiling-a Gamask curtain
or so at the windows. 'Ah, says
my employer, 'Gamask curtains,
indeed! That's all very fine, but
you know can't afford that kind
OF thing just now.' Yet the
world credits you with a splendid
income! 'Ah, yes, says my friend,
but do you know, at present I
am obliged to spend it nearly all
in steel traps Steel traps! for
whom Why, for that fellow on
the other side OF the wall, you
know; we're very good friends,
capital friends: but we are
obliged to keep our traps set on
both sides OF the wall; we could
not possibly keep on friendly
terms without them, and our
spring guns.
1.-The worst of 1t Is, we are
both clever fellows enough. and
there's never a DAY passes that
we don't find out a new trap. or
a new gun-barrel, or something;
we spend about fifteen millions a
year each in our traps. take 1t al
together; and don't see how
we're TO do with les

for two private gentlemenl But

wholly comic. Bedam would be

one mailman IN IL; and your

it, but when the whole world
turns clown, and paints itself red
with its own hearts blood in
stead of vermilion, it is some
thing else than comic. think

Editor The Georgian:

Editor The Georgian:
l notice from various sources
and especially through the press
of the State, that there are quite
a number of the executive com
mittees of the various counties
of the State calling their primary
elections at a very early date
some of them as early as March
of this year, to nominate the vari-
Gus officers for the county offices.
I memely wish to inquire If this
can be A LEGAL ELECTION?
In answer to the question | will
refer the executive committees
of the various counties who have
or have not acted on the ques
ton to the act Of the General As
sembly for 1908.
hold that under this act an
election held before after the 5th
day of June would not only be
contrary to law, but absolutely
void. This law says that the reg
istrars in each county shall meet
on the goth day Of April in the
year when the general election Is
TO be held, land begin the work
of perfecting a true and correct
list Of the qualified voters of their
county. The registrars
shall proceed with their work and
complete the same not LATER
THAN JUNE THE FIRST" and
not later than five days after
completing the list of voters, THE
registrars shall file with the clerk
of the Superior Court of their
county a complete list Of the
registered voters of the county
as prepared and determined by
them"
Section IS, of the 1910 code. of
the State of Georgia, which cod
ifies the act OF the General AS

elections, is as follows:

Judge Price Gilbert and His
New Career

The purchase of The Columbus Enquirer Sun by Judge
Price Gilbert brings the upper ranks of journalism Georgia
vre force that will stand for the very best and strongest
things in OUT civilization
Judge Gilbert has made the bench of Georgia of
which any citizen might be proud reputation for rectude for
justice for ndnss for earlessness and for equity which
speaks well for the repue of the judiciary and the majesty of the
law He has been throughout his district the synonym that
justice which while always sincere also tempered with mercy
long training the discriminating conception of right
and wrong of justice and injustice of righteousness and
nquty equps him in very admirable degree for giving great
character and great the old and distinguished journal
whose fortunes he will hereafter preside.

which, on a narrow view. would
tempt one to despair OF civiliza-
ton.
The way to preserve peace is to
prepare for peace. Absolutely the
worst way to preserve peace is
to prepare for war. Every dis
turbance of the political equllib-
rum involves a corresponding
disturbance else where. A boy
with 4 new knife wants to whit
tie something. Nations possessed
of enormous ornaments are in
danger of using them. Andrew
Carnegie did not exaggerate when
he said that spark might set
Europe ablaze. Sir Edward Grey,
Secretary of State in King Ed
wards Cabinet and now in King
Georges, spoke a momentous
warning when he said that the
present race of ornaments, II
continued in, would sooner or
later submerge civilization itself.
John Hay, our own famous Sec
rotary of State. described war as
"the most ferocious and futile OF
human follies."
Futile! Economic changes are
making for the worlds peace.
IL, II
Illusion" has brought vividly be-
fore us the implications of these
changes. War does not pay. A
war of conquest does not pay the
conquerer. A nation which de-
stroyed another would ruin itself.
There is one trouble with the
man who goes on protesting that
war has always existed and will
always exist. The world has gone
past him while he stood still, and
he does not know it. When land
was the typical form of wealth,
and a conqueror could appropriate
the land and parcel 1t out among
his followers, he had something to
gain by a war of ACKNOWLEDGEMENT.
Land is no longer the sole nor tho
dominating type of wealth.
The growth OF an elaborate
highly organized system of in
dustriaism, of exchange, com
merce and finance, with ramifica-
tons world wide, wider than civ
ilization itself, has so linked the
nations each with each that a
European war would probably
plunge half the nation- of Europe
into bankruptcy, and the winner
would be perhaps the biggest
loser OF them all. The conqueror
would be reduced to economic i'm
potence. And war stands con-
demned to-day by the clearest
thinkers in the world because it IS
recognized 40 an effort on the
part of a nation or nations 10
achieve what is at bottom a log
zeal abSurdity' to accomplish,
through pain endured TO agony
and blood shed in rivers, some
thing which. when accomplished.
