THE SCARLET LETTER.

Upon the brow of the junior sena-
tor from this state, there has been
stamped the scarlet letter of infamY.
He is today a marked man, branded
for all the world to see. The hideous
stigma of downright disloyalty has
been placed on him, and he is spurn-
ed by all citizens who know that their
own patriotism is above reprOach.
When his name Is mentioned in loyal
cizcles, "Unclean. uncleanl" is the
cry Good citizens are being called
upon everywhere to avoid him as they
would leper-and political leper is
what he is,
Such. in effect. is the sense of the
singing resolutions adopted last night
by the meeting held under the aus
p;ees Of the local chapters of a pa
triotic organization. We seriously
doubt if any Georgian, in all the an
mails of the state, has been so de-
nouneed as the junior senator is in

To the voter Of the Southwestern
Judicial Circuit:
/ beg leave to announce my candi-
dacy for Office of Solicitor General, In
September primary.
If elected / shall perform, with cour-
age and fidelity the duties fixed by
law upon the holder Of this office.
My conception is that there can be
such policy of its administration, as
that the Office will stand as menace
to wrong-doing, and IS well, a posi-
tive aid and encouragement to con-
structive good and peace to the coun-
ties Of the circuit
Every effort will be made to make
practical realization of this concep-
ton.
Opportunity for extended service Is
the strongest reason for this decision
Will sincerely appreciate and try
hard to justify any confidence an in
terest shown in my race.
Respectfully,

BACON AND FREDERICK.

the decision OF Congress 70 disman-
liz the statue 81 Frederick the Great
and pack it away, probably for all
time, recalls the part Georgian play
cd al the time this present from Ger
many was accepted by the United
States.
There is no doubt Of the fact that
the presentation Of the statue was all
d part Of the subtle German scheme Of
propaganda, which was conducted
most insidiously for so many years
with the view Of promoting a spec.
ious Prussian prestige In this country
It was in 1912 that the Emperor Of
fered to erect the monument to his
forefather, whose warlike prociivities
he has sought to emulate and whose
doctrine Of might Is right" he has
carried to an orgy Of excess. There
was some discussion then of the pro
priety Of accepting the gift, and ont
Of the chief and most stalwart object
ors was senator A. 0. Bacon, Of Geor
| gia, who later became chairman 0
the foreign relations committee.
1t may have been intuition, it ma!
have been political foresight, but q
any rate Senator Bacon voiced a Wig
orous protest against this country off
ciaIly accepting the statue from Ger
many, However, he was in the mi
nority, and in due time the chisele,
stone was shipped over, later beini
Unveiled with much pomp and cere
money. Bacon's idea was that tn
character Of Frederick the Great wa
utterly repugnant to American ideals
and that it was therefore Inconsistent
for this nation Of free lberty-lovint
democrats to participate in doini
honor, as it were, to man who in hi
own day was described as "a despo
who has extensively pillaged all Q
/ his neighbors"
Frederick the Great was great onl
! in that the abuse Of right through tn
force Of might makes a man great
| He had no greatness Of character; bu
he did sow those seeds of Prussianisr
which are today in full bloom AM
whose deadly poison has created thi
world-miasma. His worst traits ar
personified in his descendant who nov
occupies the throne of Germany, onl'
many times magnihed.
The United States may have made
mistake in accepting the statue o
Frederick, but no error was commit
! ted in removing 1t from public vew.

THE PEOPLEsARE NOE FOOLED

The Times-Recorde is not at all
lugubrious over the senatorial out
look.
In the first place, we have confidence
in the people Of Georgia, confidence
enough in their intelligence, as well
al their patriotism, 10 feel assured
that they will not return the dislcyal
junior senator back to the Senate.
Naturally, there Is a general desire
to elect the man most fitted for the
Office, the man whose official stay I'M
Washington viii rebound most adj
vantageously to the state of Georgia.
In time-there are yet five months
before the election--we believe that
the intelligent opinion Of the people
will crystalline and concentrate in fa-
vor Of one man, predominant above all
others.
For that matter, the sentiment is
now very nearly that way. With Har-
ris clubs organized in ninety-three
counties, It would appear that the
people are already in one frame Of
mind, about electing the junior sena,
tors successor.
OF course, there is a general deter
mination to politically exterminate the
political excresence who now fills the
place, and the people have sense
enough to centralize on one particular
candidate as the best meaps Of most
certainly consummating that achieve
ment.
William J. Harris has proven his in
f1uence III Washington and has DEM
onstrated his ability to hold down Big
offices. AS chairman of the federal
trade commission, he is really one Of
the biggest figures in the country and
daily attends to tremendous amount
of work OF the most important and
most delicate character. Previously,
as director of the census, his work
was so conspicuous by reason OF its
efficiency that he earned the larger
promotion from the president, Mr..
Harris Is the presidents close friend.
and is in a position in Washington to
move things in Georga's behalf
These facts have commended him to
the people of Georgia with such force
that it was logical for him to be select
ed as the man most peculiarly equipped
to make the race at this time.
The entry of a half-dozen other can
didates Of the minnow size also serves
to cause some slight confusion for a
brief time. Each candidate, as he
dives into the pond, hollers SO Justify
in his own behalf that he attracts
temporary attention; but public gaze
is fixed nevertheless on the one man
who has the edge on all of the other
candidates, either present or prospect
i've, by having campaign already or
ganized and in progress.
The Times-Recorder along with the
great majority of the other newspapers
OF Georgia, is convinced that W. J.
Harris is the one man to be ptted
against the junior senator, and the
man who, after election, will best rep
resent the states; We are also con-
WINGED that time will demonstrate this
fact beyond question, so that, as the
day for the primary comes to hand,
the people viii unerringly select him
from the cluster of candidates.
