Love can be cured, but it isn't worth
while. 1t is too fascinating in its ter
rible progress. The best treatment is
to allay it and mitigate it by means OF
marriage There is as much love after
marriage as before, but it leaves the
brain, where it has BEEN messing
things up, and goes down into the
heart, where it belongs.
Love has remodled nations, revised
history, overthrow kings and cham
picns and has made literature worth
reading. 1t is said that love makes the
world go round, but it does more
than that. 1t makes, the world go
round and round and round like an
other well-known intoxicant But it is
q far more divine dizziness.

LOVE.

George Fitch is a good writer, and
usually knows what he is talking
about. Writing about love, that old
yet new story, he says:
The poets have been trying to tell us
what love is for 1000 years, but they
have made such hash of it that even
today thousands of people can't tell the
difference between love and business
opportunity until after they are mar
ried.
Love is a peculiarly squashy condi
ton of the head produced by an ap-
petite in the heart. 1t is a grand thing
for the heart, charging it to many
times its former capacity, but what i.
does to the mind is mournful to con-
template. Under the influence of love
we see SO week clerks buying SIS
punches of violets, strong and fearless
young athletes weeping great tears,
because the letter carrier didn't pro
duce a pink note, and well-educated
young women regarding Apollo
Shakespeare and Daniel Webster as
mere trash, when compared with the
magnificent young football players or
necktie statesmen who call at their
homes each evening.
Love blinds the eyes, wraps the
judgment, spoils the taste increases
the capacity for happiness, takes the
sting out of misfortune, softens the
disposition, makes hard work worth
while and fills the land with happy
and often crowded homes.
Love is an Internally, ridiculously
and painfully magnificent thing. 1t is
a 100000 volt shock of personal mag.
retism against which there is no insul
alton. 1t preys upon the old and tht
young alike. 1t attacks the statuesque
young society princess and reduces
here from an iceburg to an armful oil
soft words in three weeks. 1t steals
into the bony frame of the hardened
old skinf1int, who has just elected nine
teen starving families from his tene.

FLOCA|MMORTAL IN
HISTORY OF BALKAN

SALONIKI, April 11.-(British Offic-
ial Eye-Witness)-Floca's has become
the social focus of the Entente armies
in the Balkans. Some such rendez-
vous comes to be associated with al
most every eXpeditionary war. The
bar of Shepherds Hotel in Cairo was
the place through which everyone
passed sooner or later in the time of
the Sudan campaign; the Rand Club at
Johannesburg fulfilled a similar func-
ton in South Africa. Here the same
unexpected greatness has been thrust
upon Floca's, so that its name will
always remain in the memory of those
told off to spend this tedious winter at
Saloniki.
Floca's in peace times was just a
commonplace cafe, with no more than
the modest distinction of being the
best of such establishments in Saloniki
Here on an ordinary weekday were to
be found a sprinkling of Levantine
gentlemen drinking Turkish coffee
while they discussed with fluent ges-
lures the latest political rumors from
Athens.
It's fortunate proprietor, who like SO
many others here is making a SMALL
fortune, has to thank two of the most
cherished Allied institutions-the Eng
llshman's afternoon tea and the French
mans afternoon aperitif or appetizer.
From four o'clock in the afternoon un-
til eight Floca's is more densely pop.
ulated than any spot in Saloniki. 1t is
filled with officers of the Allied armies
base officers, camp officers, embarka-
ZION ofhcers, staff officers, flying offic.
ers, French, British, Serbian, Creek
such a varied collection of officers of
every rank that Floca's might be the
animated fashion-book of a military
tailor of international clientele.
But Floca's would hardly be sue
cess in fashionable London. It's inter
ior is gloomy and often foggy. It's en-
trance is beset by an importunate
horde of ragged urchins. It's Greek
walters, of sinister aspect, only con-
descend to serve when their attention
is attracted by series of sharp hand
claps. But in Saloniki men count
themselves lucky to find table free,
ard for those who have lived for
months on a barren mountain side it is
a shadowy and distant reproduction of
the institution of home.

THE HOKE SMITH BOOM.

The Macon News takes cry decid-
ed view on the matter of the California
Democratic state convention nominal
ing Senator Hoke Smith, of Georgia,
for the presidency. The esteemed Macon
paper would have the senator write d
very caustic letter to the parties re-
sponsible for this action and promptly
announce that he was IAN original Will
son man" and doesn't want any such
playfulness over the situation-as he
being considered a nominee for presi-
dent
1t is to laugh. We received a copy
o. some California newspaper which
told in glaring headlines of how the
Democrats in convention had repudiat.
ed President Wilson and decided upon
the senior senator from Georgia as
tie nominee for the presidency by
Democracy.
The News goes further and contem
plates what might haunt Senator
Smith if he refuses to follow their sug.
gested course, or some other course
with the ultimate end the same.
1t is not clear to us how state
Democratic convention could rise spon-
taneously and out of the fullness OF
their heart name a candidate for the
residency-without some elaboration
consideration and possible reasoning
fol- their methods.
1t is very sad that our own beloved
Georgia cannot have the privilege OF
casting her twenty-eight ballots fol-
the "favorite SON." But we don't
think that the majority of people in
4
Georgia believe Hoke Smith would de
cline the nomination if it were ten
dered him. For Hoke is big enough
IT. defy the administration, and nee.
essarily is bigger. He's big man.
Patiently, ah serenely, do we await
the statement from Senator Smith as
to his attitude. Whether it will be in
a polite refusal to have his name con-
sidered; a courteous thanks for the
signal honor; a full, free swing and
his hat in the ring-or whatever, it is
really hard to tell.
Senator Smith may be IAN original
Wilson man." and may it so be with
Senator Hardwick. But our Georgia
senators have not been as attentive to
the cause of the president, the party
and the administration-as to their
own booms, bombs and bans.
Those California Democrats are
very kind to our Georgia senator. They
seem to think more of him than his
own people. Why didn't we think and
say that first?

WILSON AND NATIONAL DEFENSE.

There is one form Of national de-
Tense that President Wilson promul-
gated in his recent speeches in the
West, and to which, the most ardent
pacifsts can take no exceptions. No
one can gainsay the fact that his
speeches have had the tendency to
WELD together again a stronger and
more compact Americanism.
1t will be recalled that the Presi-
dents reception at Milwaukee was Of
great significance and the trend could
not be overestimated. Americans OF
German decent were as cordial and en-
thusiastic as could be over his recep-
ton, and while some may claim they
were obliged to show their enthusiasm
over Mr. Wilson in order to cleat
themselves OF the suspicion of disloy-
atty, this could not be true, as men
could not so enthusiastically respond
to such speeches as the President
made without becoming meter Amer
, lean citizens regardless of parentage.
Mr.. Wilson clearly demonstrated two
very important things the first day he
was on this speaking tour one was that
the Middle West is anything but in
different to the issue of national de-
tense against foreign aggression, and
the other is that if the test comes, and
this country is forced into war we will
have little cause to doubt the loyalty
of that great body of citizens of for
eigh birth or blood.
What was shown at his speeches in
Milwaukee was also shown at that
meeting in New York when a grea.
mass of Americans of Hungarian de-
cent expressed their loyalty in no un
certain terms for this government and
the policies for which this admins
tcation stands.
National defense as Mr.. Wilson
presents it, is question that could
hardly fail to stir all that is patriotic
in American people, for ne is doing
more than appeal for dreadnoughtS
and greater army. He is bringing
Americans back to a unity of senti-
ment, the same as prevailed before the
European situation came upon us, and
the passions of war aroused and tore
a common citizenship asunder. There is
no more vital form of preparedness
than that which reunites a people
threatened with the most serious d.
visions that menace a common people.
In appealing for the patriotic support
Of the American pople the President
is striking chord that cannot fail to
secure its response and cannot fail to
cement new bond of common inter
.est between native and alien citizen
slip. Result of Mr.. Wilson's speeches
as well as other utterances will be n
stronger sentiment in favor of national
defense, better spirit of citizenship,
and firmer devotion and loyalty to the
principles for which this government
stands.
No preparedness can equal that of
preparedness that is in the hearts of
tie people, and that makes them ready
for service or for mutual sacrifice.
