NOTES ON THE SITUATION.

Things are happening in Atlanta
which might properly be handled in
the news or editorial columns of any
newspaper, and as the space in this
particular place needs filling we will
avail ourselves of the opportunity of
using portion here.
Atlanta has never witnessed a more
harmonious gathering of politicians.
The one common idea for national pol
itics was the reelection of Woodrow
Wilson for president, and if Georgia
vote will do 1.-THE is already elected.
The next thing is the creation, or at
least, the conclusion, that the Demo
cratic primary was made for Demo-
Gratis and no others need apply. This
would have a direect bearing on the
presence of one prominent Georgian
who has been creating a disturbance
hereabouts.
And by common consent ii was gem
orally conceded that Georgia faces a
year of politics unlike any year among
the late sections of the calendar.

ington, the Father of His Country
lives eternal in the bosom of every
American, and although time has

dead have withstood

people. He had nothing to build on
except the faith in the freedom of man.
kind which has marked the foundation
c. our republic. With the unyielding
force of right, he laid the cornerstone
for the building of the greatest nation
which the earth has yet seen.
First in war, first in peace and
first in the hearts of his countrymen,
this warrior, statesman and man will
live as long as the strains of true
American blood course our veins, and
the barp springs of patriotism resound
to tie pleadings of mankind.

comes around

The race for congress from the third
congressional district occupies the CEN
ter of attraction in this particular feat
ure of the twelve Georgia shows. The
prominence of both candidates for the
high honors gives added interest.
Probably not in recent years has
such prominent political forces come
to meet in a common race.
Friends of Judge Walter H. George,
Of Vienna, are at loss to state his
course as to the congressional honors.
Il is felt that his tendency is towards
entering the race-this vas shown
when he referred to newspaper reports
"emanating from Americas" which he
said endeavored to keep the race be-
tween Congressman Crisp and Mr..
Hudson.

The Stripping case is by no means a
little weight in the affairs of several
races. People who formerly opposed
a pardon for Thomas Edgar Stripping,
Georgia's Jean Val Jean, say that they
want the governor to be given an op
qortunity to fulfill his promise to the
curly haired child of the former Chief
of Police. Many persons insist it is not
Necessary for Governor Harris to
await further action on the part of the
prison commission-as they have acted
Oh the case now In furtherance of
their belief they state that Governor
Harris can act on the pardon petition
today-without any illegality.
Other persons insist that the petit
ton must receive attention in the
manner of a decision from the COM
mission, which automatically moves ii
on the governor.
That new evidence" and "hithert1
unknown facts" in connection with the
case so far as it affects the prison
commission is still on the darkened OF
unwritten pages.

NO PRESIDENTIAL PRIMARY.

Because there most likely will be
but one candidate for the Democratic
presidential nomination it would be a
waste of money and time and a cause
of useless trouble TO hold a presiden-
tial preference primary in Georgia.
Georgia Democrats realize that Presi-
dent Wilson should and will be renom-
mated, not only because 81 his serv-
ices to the nation, but also because he
is the strongest man in the party as "a
vote-getter. The party owes it to it
self and the nation to renominate him
and to Leave nothing undone to bring
about his reelection Since there is no
sign of contest for the nomination
there is no reacon for a statewide
primary The State Democratic Exec
utive Committee saw this very clearly,
but in order to put an obstacle in the
way of anybody else who desires the
nomination made provision for p71-
mary in event a second candidate ap-
pears within thirty days from last Sat
urday.
Everybody apparently understands
that sentiment against a primary was
strengthened by the fear that if it
should be held some votes would be
cast against the President by men who
have been influenced by Thomas E.
Watson's opposition to him. But there
would not be enough votes of that
sort to cause the least doubt of vic
tory for him throughout the state. AS
the servant of the party endeavoring
to avoid useless intraparty quarrels
where no good end is to be served oy
them, the committee did neither more
nor less than its duty.
Mr.. Watson cannot prevent the in
struction of Georgia delegates for Mr..
Wilson for his denomination. If he
wishes to oppose him even beyond the
time of the national convention there
will be Republican candidate, or per-
haps a Progressive one, for whom he
he can vote. But whatever Mr.. Wat
sons strength he cannot prevent Geor-
giG from casting all her votes in the
electoral college for President Wilson
this year. 1t would be folly for the
party not to nominate him; it would
be actually to seek for defeat rather
than victory. Why, then, should any
man in the Democratic party seek to
prevent his denomination Savannah

JUDGE HART WILL NOT
CALL GRAND
JURY

Judge Hart states that there will
be no grand jury called this year, his
idea being that since The Constitution
has been amended authorizing pros
ecutlons by information, that the
provisions for calling a grand jury
are now obsolete. at most only direct
tory and not mandatory and has been
sustained in this attitude by an opin
ION recently rendered by the Attorney
Generals Office This will surely b,
appreciated by all taxpayers of this
district for it means a considerable
saving in the running expense of boil
counties, being in harmony with a
record for economical administration
Almost the same proposition came
up in one Of the first contested m. /
ters in JuG,ge Hart's term in a case IL
Yerington where the former presid
ing judge had ordered case to b
submitted to grand Jury to bs
called. Instead of doing so he at
once set aside the former order and
entered another authorizing and di-
recting the District Attorney to pro
ceed by information instead of in
dictment and while attorneys con-
tended this could not be done as be-
ing without authority, yet when tho
matter was tested on appeal to the
Supreme Court, he was fully sus-
tanned.

PEACE OFFER
JARS COPPER
STOCKS

The boom in copper stocks culmin-
ated on November l8 Ever since
then there has been liquidatation, with
Lately some very weak day. On
December II the market declined,
violently on news that Germany had
made peace proposals. The copper
stocks suffered more than most 9TH
ers. Some of them sank to about
where they were before the autumn
advance began. Chile, which was
around SO at the middle # November,
was down to 23 before the middle of
december.
Now the position of none of these
companies had changed, excep- for
the better. All had the benefit OF
one months additional earnings and
all had their expected total production .
up to the middle of 1917 at an extra
ordinarily high price. All Lad big
surpluses and were assured of bigger
ones. The only thing that changed
on December IL was the prospect of
the duration of the war and the ap-
proach o fthe uncertainties bound to
arise upon its termination. Yet even
that was only question of degree,
for no conservative person has been
expecting war profits to continue for
ever. 1t ras been merely matter of
hguring whether they would run for
another six months, or II months.
But even as to the longer periods ts-
timated for the wars duration, there
has been the serious prospects that
natural causes would reduce price
and diminish profits to narmal,
wherefore the days of enormous earn
ings were numbered anyhw.
For year back the market has
shivered at any intimation of peace.
yet why it should do SO is beyond
comprehension. except for the re-
gard of unwise speculative commit
ments. The advent of peace-the
cessation OF further increase of mis-
cry and the destruction of people o
wealth-should be great bull argu-
ment. Loo king at it narrowly-from
the selfish interest of this country
good opinion long ago ceased to be
so sure that our prosperity would end
with the war. On tel contrary, it has
been becoming more and more evil
dent thart prolongation of the war is
producing domestic conditions that
will become detrimental to our wei
fare.
What is the meaning of Germany's
proposal, what it will come to, we
know not. We only know that
comes as a surprise and is significant
in that one of the great belligeren
parties is willing to talk of peace.
But it is certain that nothing would
be so great blessing for humanity
as an early peace on terms that would
settle permanently and satisfactorily
in conflict.
