Thought Records.

tinfoil philosopher has said: THE more l
of men the better I like dogs AS an exam
pie of logic that is good epigram but there is
more of cleverness in it than of love for humanity
Man is all right in himself; it is only when he
reflects the thoughts of others that he falls to their
level No institution group of men associa-
ton is greater than the individual. A religious
an irreligious man, a democrat republican,
prohibitionist ant-prOhibitionist, a suffar-
gst ant-sufragist is not great evil be-
cause he is a religious man, democrat prohibit
proportion as he goes against them. Thus a man
who believes in his soul that principle is right
does wrong when he votes for a law that would
oppose that principle. Also he does wrong by
voting for a law which he intends later to help
nullify. Think for yourself, and do what you think
is right. Thus man becomes truly great. Do
not record the thoughts of others. Thought is the
light from heaven. Consideration of bodies of men
makes hard and narrow. Think for yourself,
and let others think for themselves. Don't be

That HOMEGROWN Tomato of SIS.

A BILL THAT is BEING COMMENDED.
From the Savannah News.

From the Savannah News.
The bill to prevent superior court judges from
sentencing male prisoners to the state prison farm
is a good one. 1t has been acted upon favorably
by one of the general judiciary committees of the
house, and if it is passed there will be more
suggestions that some able-bodied men favored
by being given soft jobs by judges instead of
being sent to the road gangs
The prison farm not intended to deprive
county wardens of good road builders but to care
for and for men who, because of sickness
or some other equally good reason, should not be
required to do road work. The prison commission
should be given authority to say which prisoners
should be kept at the farm and which should build
roads Any favoritism shown prisoners would then
be chargeable directly to the commission
The judges will no doubt be glad if the bill is
passed, for it very likely is true that the relatives
and friends of prisoners are always very anxious
to have them confined at the farm rather than sent
to the road gangs, and it would not be surprising
If the judges are often at least indirectly urged to
give many prisoners the easier assignment.

An Astronomical Event.

In view of all the circumstances, as these are
recounted in astronomical circles it is little diff
fcult to see how Meliishs comet, which has just
made it's perihelion passage, after being family
perceptbe since May, can hold any large measure
of popular interest. This wanderer either has no
special orbit it seems, has orbit so vast that
il comes within view of the earth only once in sew
eral hundred years. Since it first became visible
to skifuI observers it has required something like
three months to approach the sun, and it will now
take about the same period of time to disappear
from view

THE ONE THING MORE HIDEOUs.

From the Richmond TimeslDispatch.
There is no bluster in the presidents note, and
there is none in the hearts of America. War with
Germany or with any other country, however great
the pr0vocation, is thing hdeous to contemplate.
It's cost in blood and treasure-however the care
less-minded may think to evade payment-would
rack the soul of a people whose ways ways of
peace But there is one thing more hideous. 1t
is that disgraceful yielding to wrong and Oppres-
sion which makes freedom mockery and peace
the badge of shame.
