ILL-ADVISED
MEASURE.

The Georgia House has adopted
what is known as the atom Watson
BILL" which provides for the investi-
cation by grand juries of converts,
monasteries and similar institutions.
The measure was passed by vote
of 1888 to 1913. The minority is gen.
orally right in this hot-headcd age.
We believe it is in this case.
The object of the promoter of this
new law is apparent, and, should the
Georgia Senate concur, another I'M
necessary excitement would be pre-
cipitated in the United States equal to
that inaugurated by the "Know-
nothings," in the early part of the
fifties.
Watson is sensational writer, of
the genus of "Brick" Pomcroy of re-
construction days. His bitter anita
gonism to Leo. P. Frank, convicted
of killing Mary Phagan in Atlanta, is
well-known. Long after Frank had
been lynched-aftcr he had paid the
penalty of his alleged crime in a
manner akin to the disposition Of
mad dog-Watson continued his tir-
ade against the dead man and his
friends. This unfortunate man may
have been guilty of the terrible crime
placed at his door. The circumstan-
ces were decidedly against him, yet he
protested his innocence, and the
truth will only be known when
"that which has been done in secret
shall be proclaimed upon the house
tops" words used by the Saviour
Himself.
We sincerely hope this country will
be spared. the temperance Of
"Knownothingism." The writer was
small child when this political party
was at its zenith, and was unable to
read. He could, however, study the
pictures in the "Knownothing Alma:
mac" of that day. Several years ago
we came across one of those publica-
tions. CHANGING at it was akin to
taking glimpses at an Egyptian mum;
my.
'Knownothingism," like "Anti-Mas-
onry," has long since lain in the po-
1itical graveyard. Let both rest in
peace:

REVISING
PEACE TERMS.

An unofficial report sent out from
Germany regarding the condition of
the people and their present senti-
ments regarding the war says that
public debates concerning The OBJ
jects Of the war and neace are in
creasing daily, and numbers of indi-
viduals and newspapers arc frankly
speaking Of a peace that would give
Germany no advantage, but would
simply restore ii 70 its former limits
It says that the German peonle are
painfully impressed with the lack OF
food, and it is evident that The neo-
pie are suffering from an insufficient
supply, and that il The present con.
.ditions continue for any extended
peaspds The ability Of tho German peo.
pleSwill be injured for more than q
generation to come.

ginal language IN winch the doom
was written. 1t means something
made manifest and plain, in contrast
to the word apocrypha which implies
something hidden. There are divers
opinions concerning the meaning OF
the three first chapters which corr
tain the seven letters to the seven
churches. Most readers suppose they
we're intended for the churches bear
ing their names, as were these Of
| Paul to different christian gatherings.
Others, however, are sure they p'r-
tray in igurativc language the diff
ferent epochs of the church from the
beginning of the Christian era until
the close of the present church age.
Hence they are to be understood in
an allegorical sense. The last letter,
that to the church at Laodicea rep
resents the church, though rich and
increased in goods, as poor, blind
Ind naked, ready to be rejected at the
temperance of the Bridegroom.
We do not profess to know any
more about this wonderful book than
Others, but we have often thought
here are pearls of thought and en-
enlargement in it which are good
for us all. After the scene shifts at
the close of the seven letters, a dool
is opened in heaven, an abode we
al think of occasionally, especially
when some dear one is taker from
as. We are not told who are there,
Jut we are told that there are thou
sands and thousands of thousands in
that elysium where the book tells
as there is neither death, nor sorrow,
nor crying, and where the Creator
Himself will dwell with US (literally
;ent with u.s. and wipe away all our
ears.
On the last day Of each year the !
Gazette publishes the names of the !
white adults of Alexandria who die
Turing the previous three hundred !
and sixty-fvc days. These lists arc
:ead and preserved by many of our
;itizcns, while others purchase extra
,opics Of the paper Of that date and !
send them to Alcxandrians living
elsewhere. We often fall into reveries
while scanning this tombstone column,
md involuntary ask ourselves, Where
ire all these people now? Let us
lopc they are mingling with that
