COMMON SENSE PREPAREDNESS.

There are many views of prepared
ness and right at this particular time
they are creating almost as much ex-
element as the European war itself
In fact, it wouldn't be surprising if Il
was shown that the present disturb
aaee and mutiny in congress grew out
of some discussion on the safety
first" plans for national defense.
Congressman j. Hampton Moore, OF
Pennsylvania, president of the Atlantic
Deeper Waterways association, hit a
keynote in his address before the Ma
tioAal Rivers and Harbors congress in
session at Washington, D. c., on De-
vember 9th. He said:
Il dc not want war at all, nor or
ever; no man who has had experience
in war, we are told, wants to see it
again. l do not want to be led into
war by any fool pace-maker or peace
maker, by any jingoist, nor by any am
munition maker. want peace for my
country's sake, for the sake of my wife,
Tor the sake of my children, for my
own sake, and for the sake of those
who are to come.
Il do not want to be misled or mis-
directed; 1 do not want to have bur
dens placed there / do not want to
pie who do not deserve to have bur
jdens placed there. | do not wont to
he thrown into any conflict, national
or international, but if war is forced
upon us l want to be duly and sensibly
prepared for war"
The words of Congressman Moore
speak the attitude of the majority OF
the American citizens. We are a peace
loving nation, but we want that peace
guaranteed by our ability to to defend
ourselves.
The policy of the penny wise and
pound foolish" can be likened to the
attitude of some of our would-be
statesmen. William jennings Bryan

YOUNG JOURNALISTS.

No field in modern life offers wider
training and opportunity for advance
ment than journalism. 1t is truly a
labor of love in the main, but some
where, somehow, some day the ball
ance sheets are made and the average
journalist manages to square him
self.
Several months ago the Reviewers
club, a literary organization of Ok
ford, Ga, composed of young ladies',
prepared an edition of the Emory
Weekly the college publication for the
school of liberal arts of Emory Uni
uarsity. At that time editorial men
ton was made and congratulations ex-
tended on their enterprise.
Now comes the announcement that
the class of journalism at Emory, I'M
der the tutorship of DR.. Wightman F.
Melton, will issue the Covington News
at an early date The staid old week
ly of Newton county will furnish 4
training ground for the young journ-
aIists of the college. In theory the
young men are coping with the prob
lens of everyday newspaper work,
and the actual task of preparing
newspaper will be their fortune.
Several years ago the Emory pourn-
alism class visited Atlanta and spent
a day with the Constitution, which
proved successful for the young men
who gained a varied experience in
every avenue of journalism.
The newspaper fraternity delights to
see the young men, especially college
students, display an interest in an en-
terprise which has gained formidable
proportions in yower and force.

COURT OF LEAP YEAR.

Leap Year comes in for much discus
sion, and it is not amiss for it doesn't
come often. Once every four years is
often enough to discuss anything of
general interest, and this may be why
the president of the United States is
chosen to serve that number of years.
But Leap Year is now regular Wis
itor and the humor of the situation at
tracts attention everywhere.
A set of rules has been suggested to
the San Diego exposition directors as
fit to govern the activities in the new
court of Leap Year. The young wo-
man who offered them has a keen
sense of humor, and if for no other
eason exposition officials may consider
adopting them The suggested rules
follow:
1. The Court is strictly for bust
ness. Remember there are others
waiting. Get it off your chest and
move on to any one of the adjoining
shady paths for the hand-holding
stage.
2. Don't be bashful. Remember the
poor boob would probably do the same
to you, but is scared.
8. If your man attempts to fee call
a guard; none must escape.
4. Proposing to the same man twice
in one day is forbidden. If any one
can rasist the first time he doesn't de-
serve a second trial.
5. No flirting with some one else's
prospect"
D. Every dance ladies' choice.
7. If partner insists upon lead
ing" you in dancing, you may leave
him.
8. Honeymooners welcome. Special
shady paths with arbored benches for
their exclusive use.
6. Glass A, includes girls under 18;
Glass B, between IS and "a; Glass C,

HUNGARIlNs DON 7
LIKE CONCESSIONS

BUDAPEST, (Via London) March 8.
The action of the Hungarian Parlia-
ment in consenting to a bill permit
ting German capital to exploit the
new oil fields in Pennsylvania has
aroused flood of criticism. The oil
fields, unexpected as yet, were discov-
ered only three years ago, but there
has been a widespread public belief
that they would prove to be a natural
treasure worth untold millions to
Hungary. Concessions for their ex-
ploitation have now been turned over
to the Deutsche Bank of Berlin, in re-
torn for the latters promise to invest
100000 in the work of development.
This is characterized by the Opposition
as selling our birthright for a mess
of pottage"
The center of each of the two
Pennsylvania fields consists of
group of oil springs gushing up from
the earth in quantity sufficient to
supply the whole of Central Europe
with gas and oil not only for lighting
but also for industrial purposes"
Just how far the concessions to the
Deutsche Bank go, is not yet cellar,
but there apepars to be no doubt that
they will give German capitalists a
clear advantage and control in field
where Hungarians had long hoped to
build up purely national enterprise.
When the bill granting the concession
was brought up by Count Tisza, the
Independence party raised its usual
objections, urging that "the oil fields
should be exploited and organized by
the tsate in order that they should
serve as national source of wealth,
and thus replace the dear coal, mostly
imported from Germany" One of the
speakers declared this oil will now
fall to the Germans, who will take
care that the gas will NOT no anv
cheaper than the coal.'
One of the newspapers has since ex-
planned the transaction in an interview
with Tisza, in which he says that the
transaction was necessary because
Hungary has not enough money to de-
yelop the oil fields herself.

Chief Of POLICE Of
MACON, CA, MAKES
STRONG STATEMENT
POPULAR OFFICIAL WAS CON.
FINED TO BED THREE MONTHS.
NOW HALE AND HEALTHY SINCE
TAKING TANLAC.

If there is a man in Macon who is
universally known and liked, that man
is Geo. Samuel Riley, the popular and
efficient Chief of Police OF that city
Chief Riley has been prominently iden-
titled with Macons public affairs for a
number of years, and is highly es-
teemed and respected for his high
character and integrity by all who
know him. In an interesting interview
with DR.. W. B. Logan at the Taylor
Bayne Drug Company Thursday morn
ing. Chief Riley said:
Il came to Macon when l was only
a 16-year-old boy from Houston coun-
ty, and have been living here for SO
years. l have always enjoyed very
good health and have been what you
would consider strong, healthy man.
Last June 1 was taken very sick, and
was confined to my bed for three
months with a trouble that developed
into pleurisy with serious complica-
tions, and l had to undergo several
operations For while l was entirely
helpless.
After getting out my right side con-
tinued to pain me. My breath would
get short, and had terrible pains and
awellings in my legs and feet and
catching pains in my hips and the small
of my back. This trouble made me
very nervous and lost sleep. To tell
you the truth, l was in mighty bad
shape, and nothing in the way of med
icine seemed to do much good
My kidneys bothered me a great
deal and my whole system seemed to
be filled with Uric Acid poison. For
while l had little control over my kid
Deys and this bothered me great deal.
Like everybody else, I got to reading
about Tanlac and decided to give it a
trial. l can understand now why ev-
erybody is praising this medicine, for
it helped me right from the start. The
pains in my side have left me entirely
ard l now have control over my kid
neys. The swellings have all gone
down and I feel like new man in ev.
cry way
Eyes, sir, this Tanlac just filed me
with new life and energy and 1 feel
more like myself than in months. Ev.
e1yone has noticed the wonderful i'm
in my condition, and 1 am
only too glad to say good word for
Tanlac. I had taken medicines ever
since I was taken sick and nothing
seemed to help me, but two bottles of
Tanlac have put me on my feet and l
feel like myself again.
Tanlac is sold by leading druggists
In all principal cities of the South.
Tanlac is sold exclusively in Ameri-

FIGHTING SQUARELY.

President Wilson has taken the pub
lie into his confidence on the subma
rine question, so far as he has Let them
know that congress embarrasses his
actions attitudes and negotiations by
their everlasting whining, paving and
putting. None but a great man would
have done this-he has no fears of his
position, and realizes that he stands
sponsor for the people even in the face
of men who are supposed to be their
representatives
AS this is election year in Georgia
and all over the union for a large ma
jCrity of the offices, the people should
taken note of some of the actions OF
their representatives. Those who
have fought bravely and squarely
should receive the praise due them
but those who have mutinied, defied
betrayed, they should be overwhelmed
with the ballots of the voters.
Savoyard is an interesting writer of
national reputation, and what he has
to say in his articles count for much in
their thought, thoroughness and con-
servatdveness. At this particular
times an article on THE Matchless and
Peerless" referring to the lamented
Henry G. Turner, one of Georgia's for
mer congressman, he draws a line of
modern day application. This article
appeared in the Macon Telegraph, and
the following are several paragraphs
from it:
Here Is the situation. At st. Louis
next June, the Democratic party in ma
tional grand inquest convened is going
to approve the policies of Woodrow
Wilson as president of the United
States and nominate him for re-elec-
ton to that great station. That is GER
tain. What will that amount to? Why,
the plain meaning of 1t is a rebuke TO
those democrats in official station who
oppose Wilson's policies. Then how
can one Of these gentlemen, without
violence to good taste and to good pol
icy offer for re7election? Are they go.
ing to run on platform that reproves
their conduct? And if nominated. how
are they going to ask their constitu-
ents to vote for the reelection of a
president whose policies they con-
denim
There is precedent for this situation
and it is leading case, an established
principle, laid down in the action of
the neblest man ever met, a giant in
intellect. Christian in holiness of
character, a sage in counsel.
when in 1896 the democratic party
nominated William ]. Bryan for presi-
dent on a platform denouncing the
Cleveland administration, Henry G.
Turner was serving his eighth term in
congress, a member from Georgia. He
was very great man and the purest
nan l ever saw. He and Oliver Crom-
well were the only two men Thomas B.
