The Herald Telegraph Dispute

(From Thomasville Times Enterprise
A newspaper has public service to
perform. The editor should appear as
jolly as if he got enough to eat, and
smoke "che-root" as "sassily" as if it
We're Havana cigar.
The business manager should look
as pleased as if his account were not
overdrawn, and take all syrup AMI
farm produce on account just as if he
were not going to have trouble in set
thing his board bill with same.
The reporter should conduct himself
just as if he owned the rhess suit on
his back, and try to be as satisfied as
if he was social success. The whole
staff should drink soda pop, or even ice
water, as if it were champagne, and be
thankful to Heaven that they have thus
far escaped the fool-killer.
Above all, the policy of the paper
should be the embodiment of polite
and neighborly consideration to its
contemporaries, and a fit example for
its readers.
We feel sure that our good friend, the
Macon Telegraph, shares these senu-
ments and haven't doubt but that our
esteemed neighbor, the Albany Herald,
believes in them stronger than we DO.
Nevertheless, one Of these inspirers If
youth has recently saluted the ether rs
a sychophant, and liar, and, in turl,
been addressed as a highly perfumed
skunk, with apologies to the skunk.
If leader of thought can't express
himself with dignity and consideration
surely the laws against libel should BE-
suspended as to small papers and in
dividuals.
We forgot to say, it was all about Joe
Brown Hoke Smith. Verify, some pe0-
pie take some things, including them
selves, too seriously.

shall devote its energies against real
Iawlessness, such as blind tigers, and
other evils thought to exist in the
city, which we need not here men
ton.
Those who seemed to find pleasure
in circulating a false report in regard
to the league could easily have learn
ed the truth by seeing the Mayor. AS
the truth was not sought, and as it
became reported that the milk wagons
and ice wagons would be sopped, It
seems to us it is pertinent for the
good people of the city to learn why
these untrue reports were circulated
and by whom. Also let them ask
where these people stand on questions
of law and order.
Also let them ask whether certain
persons would make politics out of 1t
for the sake of politics.
Also, ask whether the reports were
circulated with the hope Of creating
an impression that the members of
the league are fanatics and extremists,
instead of conservative, determined
men making a relentless fight on real
vice.
Why not let truth control?

THE REASON FOR THE WAR

An exchange gives the following
reasons for the several nations engag-
ing in the present war:
Austria-Because Servia would not
permit Austrian officials to take pa:t
in invcstea''tps in Servia into the re-
sponsibiIity for the murder of the Aus
TRAN crown prince and. princess.
Servia-Because upon her refusal to
accede to this demand of Austria, on
the ground that she would be sacrifice
ing her own sovereignty, and in spite OF
her proposal to leave the matter 10
arbitration, Austria attacked her.
Russia-Because Austria was MAX
ing war upon Servia.
Germany-Because Russia declined
to cease modifying her army-a mobil
ization which Germany believed was
directed at herself as we'll as her ally
Austria.
France-Beause her ally, Russia,
was attacked by Germany.
Belgium-Because her neutral terri

FISHING AND LIFE
Detroit Free PreSsl

Detroit Free Press.)
I've never caught a seven-pound trout
I'm very frank to say;
The fish that big I've hooked, alas!
Have always got away.
I've never caught a seven pound trodt
And had him stuffed and draped;
I've hooked full many a one, no doubt,
But always he escaped.
And as fishing, SO it seems
In life I've plodded on;
I've hooked up many splendid schemes,
But never landed one.

H0CH! DER KAISER.

The verses to this poem were writ
ten under peculiar circumstances in
Montreal, in October, 1897. They
were inspired by a speech of Will
liam ii, Emperor of Germany, upon
the divine right of kings and his own
special mission upon earth. At that
time, A. M. R. Gordon, a Scotchman
by birth, whose real name was A.
McGregor Rose, was a member OF
the Montreal Herald" staff. He had
been in the habit of writing verses
upon different subjects, and was look
ed upon as bright fellow. The city
editor, turning to him, said:
Give us poem, Gordon, on the
Emperor"
In less than an hours time, he
had turned out thirteen varses, which
were entitled by him, Kaiser & Co."
not "Hoch! der Kaiser" The matter
was sent to the printer just as it was
written. By some mistake the fore
man of the composing room picked up
only eight stanzas in type, leaving the
other five on the galley" Gordon,
who was very particular about his
matter being strictly correct, got one
of the first copies off the press. He at
once saw the mistake and the form
was recast. Not, however, before ?
few hundred had been sent into the
mailing room for the foreign mails.
Thus, only eight verses were copied
in the papers which printed the poem
at the time. In the second edition, it
was given in full and signed, "a. M. R.
Gordon"
Inc complete poem follows:

Germany and England were signers.
Japan-Because her treaty with Eng

when the peace of the far east was
threatened.
However, these nations are not
alone. Bosnia, sympathizing with
Servia, is contributing a quota OF
troops to fight Austria. Roumania, TAX
ing sides with Russia, is about to join

VIENNA, July 26.-Hands off is the
attitude adopted by the Austrian gov
eminent in the Austro- Servian crisis.
Austria wants the powers to remain
aloof 30 that she can settle her own
territorial and racial questions with
the little kingdom south of the Danube.
Although there was some display OF
martial spirit today, for the most part
the residents of the capital were apa-
thetic. Cipher dispatches from Bel
grade indicated that the Servian gov
eminent would reply to the ultimatium
without giving definite decision on
the main demands In the Austrian
note. The reply, however would leave
the way open for second answer.
which would be more specific in char
acter.
AS a result of the pacific representa-
lions made to Austria by the powers,
it Is likely that the door will be open
ed by which a peaceful, diplomatic set
Element can be brought about between
the two nations in dispute.
A press dispatch from Belgrade this
afternoon says that the Servian cabi-
net decided to acquiesce to the de-
mands of the Austrian ultimatum uu-
der protest
The Austrian government today
gave a negative answer to Russia q
request that Servia be given an extern
sion of time in which to reply to Aus
tria's ultimatum.
