should not want the LABOR OF
a man the Cove nor THOUGHT
should be pardoned.
Christmas has come and gone,
and the little girl did not get
her papa, and it now appears
that the Governor wishes to put
the responsibility on the Prison
Commission, and the Commission
wants the Governor to shoulder
the responsibility. is IT POL
ITICS?
Can politics and fear of their
own personal political success or
failure cause our HIGHEST off
Gals to be swerved from what
they conscientiously believe to
be RIGHT? If 80, tken Georgia
is indeed in a sad plight. Our
HIGHEST officials at least should
be BIG enough to do RIGHT re-
CARELESS of their own political
destiny. If their OWN political
destinies are more important
than their honest, cons cientious
JUDGMENT on public ques-
tons, then government becomes
a failure and holding office pri-
vate SNAP.
If the man should be pardoned,
and the judgment of the Gov
ernor and the Prison Commits
sion are both to this end, and
they are each afraid to touch the
button because PERHAPS they
MIGHT lose few votes, or even
the office for that matter, then
they are unworthy the TRUST
the people have reposed in them.
This thing of shaping everything
according to politics has gone
far enough in Georgia. If the
man should be pardoned at all
he should be par ,oned at once.
If this is not true then Georgia
is forced to occupy a most pecu-
liar position.
So far as the legal question
which has been injected is con
cerned, the Governor, by virtue
of the constitution, is given the
right to pardon. The Prison
Commission only ACTS in a
recommending capacity. This
fact is we'll known to most of
the people. We simply hate to
see officials swerved from their
course Of duty or conscientious
convictions on ANY QUESTION
for fear of their political future.
In the administration of their
duties the people Of Georgia are
not supposed to be interested in
the personal success or failure
of the official, but the official is
supposed to have BACKBONE
enough to dismiss his own CASE.
which should be a small matter
in WEIGHING right and wrong.
Georgia demands men who will
put RIGHT ahead of politics.

The Macon Telegraph says that
DR.. Hacdman is not governor
ship size We thought they were
better acquainted. Measured by
all the modern Georgia weights
and measures he is the best
qualified man in Georgia today
who would stand a ghost of a
chance to be elected Governor.
He has the best legislative re-
cord, covering a period of ten
years, than any man in the state.
These were bills which meant
SOMETHING to the people. too.
He 10 man of fine intellect, fine
character and friend to hui
mainly. The people found out
these things in that last race,
and this is the reason why he
ran such a race-only missing
the nomination by a few votes.
If the Telegraph really believes
that Hartman is not governor
ship size it certainly disagrees
with possibly oyer half the peo-
pie in Georgia. Some may thirk
that he is only prohibitionist,
but this is only a small part OF
the man. He is the author of
more real substantial and con-
structive legislation than any
man Georgia has had in the Leg
islature for the past ten years.
Laws which make for the gen.
eral welfare, health, prosperity
and happiness of mankind. They
are on the books and can be
cited. The people have learned
the facts, and they are going to
reward him with the governor

time.

POLITICS VS.. RIGHT

1t seems the noted Stripping
case is again being discussed by
the press. We have no interest
in the matter except ordinary
human sympathy for people in
trouble. 1t appears that some
time ago the Governor thought
that Stripping had suffered the
penalty and should be pardoned.
He was so impressed with this
idea that he promised the little
girl of Stripping that he would
pardon her papa. The Dispatch
stated at the time that IF it was
q case where a pardon should he
granted there could be no good
reason for a WAIT. 1t could not
be due to the fact that Georgia
needed the LABOR of the man a
little while LONGER. Georgia

THE SURE REMEDY

Humanity is doing more suffer
ing today tnan ever before IN the
history Of tie world. The hor
rible and c4useless war has hac
a tendency to make people more
reckless and careless in the first
place, and this condition mas
brought on minor troubles and
hardships, and these likewise
have become more fractional
until the earth is almost a hot
bed of struggle, pain and suffer
ing. Every paper brings the
news of suffering, of tragedies,
of accidents and death in every
conceivable form, and it seems
that each month adds new fuel
to the flame. What is the matter
with the earth, or is it just the
people?
We believe it is the spirit of
the people. They have not
learned the proper philosophy OF
life. 1t is lack of genuine chris.
tianitv. If humanity, as whole,
would follow the ten laws given
us by the Creator Of this earth
we believe that all the suffering
and evil would vanish and the
people would be happy, prosper
Gus and healthy, and that the
earth would be so free Of suffer
ing as to be almost a heaven
right here. There may be a few
people who live by the ten laws
referred to, and the vast major
ity of the people would like to
live by them, but there is always
the conduct Of the o.her fellow,
who does not want to live by
them, and 1t requires more
strength than is possessed by the
average human to cut away
from such large numbers fully
and go it alone. This is almost
impossible, and failure brings
encouragement. Then there is
the fellow who is mv4o.y going
through the form and ceremony,
possibly for a purpose not unset
fish. and who only PRACTICES
the observance of the ten laws
in theory. He has gone through
this motion. possibly, so long
that he reaches the opinion that
he is really living by those ten
laws and that he is perfectly
good; but his fellows know bet
ter, and know that he is violat-
ing either one. two or three or
six of those ten laws, and this
knowledge keeps the others from
making the attempt, except in a
limited way. If all humanity,
by some united and superhuman
effort, could resolve and put that
resolution into effect, that they
woulG live by and observe every
one of those ten laws, it would
Danish suffering and evil In time.
and make this earth akin to that
period called the millennium.
1t may be that the HORRORS
will continue until humanity
makes resolutions respecting
those ten laws; and, what is
more, KEEPS them in spirit and
in practice. We have certainly
had thoughts along this line
lately. The actual practice of
the ten laws is possibly all that
will SAVE the earth from bar
barity. No use to treat this sub
ject lightly, for every thinker
knows that conditions are grow
ing harder and more acute each
month. The only remedy is to
go back to the original laws given
us by the Creator, and which we
poor, weak humans haven't had

ests far outside our own borders. lr
the first half-century of our life We
fought two wars with Great Britain
two with the Barbary States, ano
practically one with France. Later
we warned both Great Britain and
France to keep hands off Hawaii and
off Cuba; we Opened" Japan and
Korea; we participated in the tripar-
tite control of Samoa, in the Interna-
tional Tribunals of Egypt, in the sup
preston of the Boxer troubles in
China, and in the congresses and court
at The Hague. We were concerned in
establishment of the Congo State, and
of the open door" in China. We have
engaged in numerous international ar
bitrations, and have made various
sorts Of treaties with all the nations Of
the world. We have entered into in
Vulnerable international agreements,
for morals, sanitation, copyright,
scientific purposes and whatnot. If all
these things are not denotement of
world-power status we should like to
know what they are.
At the same time we have been en-
gaging in worldwide commercial as
well as political activities. Within
year after the adoption of the Consti-
tuition and the organization Of the ma
tional government, we appointed
consul to look after our growing COM
mercial interests in China. Our YES
sells plowed the waters of every sea.
By the beginning Of the nineteenth
century we were exporting more per
capita, probably, than any other coun-
try in the world; certainly more than
Great Britain; and our trade with
Asia and Africa was measured by mil
lions Of dollars a year.
In the decade just before our Civil
War we had the greatest shipping ton
mage on the high seas in all the world,
save only Great Britain. Our high
seas tonnage was greater than that of
any other nation today with three or
at most four exceptions. Our exports
to Asia, Africa and Oceanica were
measured by many millions. The Civil
War largely banished our flag from
the ocean, but our commerce continued I
to grow, and quarter Of a century /
ago our yearly exports exceeded the 4
billion dollar mark. Surely these cir
conditions and achieve
ments bespoke a participation in "the
large world Of international business"
Yes, we are and ever have been
world power in every respect, unless
in a proper recognition Of and acting
upon that fact. Too often we have
been inclined either to exaggerate or
70 minimize our place in the sun

OUR PLACE I'm THE sun"

America is a World Power The
statement is not new, but it is true,
and it is true in much greater sense
than is supposed by those who mistak-
emily imagine it to be new. For there
are those who make and persist in
| that error At the time of the Span
| ish War and our annexation of the
Philippines there was an acute out
break Of "World Power" chatter,
people apparently thinking and actu-
ally saying that we had then for the
first time attained that status. So
now, again, in view of the vast in
crease of our foreign trade due to the
war. they are speaking of our having
become world power in commercial
and fiscal affairs; even the President
himself observing the other day that
1--WE have not been accustomed to the
large world of international business.
Such views of our political and com
mercial status ignore the evident facts
Of history and do the nation gross in
Justice. The truth is that from the
very beginning we have been world
power in both politics and commerce.
That was recognized generations ago,
in those halcyon and vociferous days
when mon described the United States
of America as bounded on the north
by the Aurora Boroalis, on the south
by the Procession of Equinoxes, on the
east by Primeval Chaos and on the
west by the Day Of Judgment" and
when they buoyantly proclaimed it to
be our manifest destiny to lick all
creation" We need not adopt literally
those bumptious exaggerations; the
hifalutin CALCULATIONS Of our growing
pains" But we shall do well to re
member what status America enjoyed
at the time when they were uttered |
Our status as a World Power was
Enthusiastically forecast in the Declara-
ton of Independence itself, which de-
scribed the colonies as having full
power to levy war, conclude peace,
contract alliances, establish commerce,
and do all other acts and things which
States may Of right do"
That is TO say, we were then, at the
very beginning, no dwarf nor cripple,
no infant in leading strings, but full
sized nation among nations, the peer
