Pussy About His Hats.

The sailor is also just trifle fussy about his hats, and he has three of them. No one has exactly understood the balance seaman can get with one of the circular pancake caps he perehes at almost any angle on his head. This cap is ornamented with the band bear ing the name of his ship or station or simply the giIded inscription "U. s. Navy" and he is always buying a new one, for the Jack who is alleged to have a sweetheart in every port must have band for every one of them as a souvenir and q sentimental reminder for the girl he leaves behind him.
 The sailor also has a knitted cap for winter wear, one that can be pulled down over his ears to cover nearly all of his faee-something he needs for deck work, for the continuous watch from the ships rail for the sneaking submarine or to shield him from the crows nest. But of them all it is his little white hat that he loves the most. With the same skill and equal non- chalance he can perch this on his head at any angle, always with the appear ance of just about to tumble off but never falling. This hat he can wash and from the top there is little string, he calls q "stop" so that he can hang it out on wash day.
 When boy losses off his home clothes for the last time he is given a complete outfit by the navy. Every bit of it is regulation He must know just how to fold and store away each bit according to set and immov- able rules, and each piece must have his name marked on it with indelible ink. It must always be serupulously clean and neat. Some of the ships bave a laundry, and if not he must wash it himself. There are also ships tailors. but he must, nevertheless, know how to sew, to darn and to mend Here is just what q sailors wardrobe includes: Overshirt, two undress jump CTS, dress jumper. three white undress jumpers, blue trousers, four white trousers, dungarees (oyeralls), jersey ONerCOdI, run clpllleS, two Hammer shirts, two each light and heavy un- dershirts, two each light and heavy drawers. one blue cap, two white hats, watch cap, two suits of pajamas, jack knife, leggings. neekerchief, gloves, four pair socks, two pairs shoes. rub Der boots, mattress, two mattress GOV CTS, shoe brush and backing, pair blankets, towels, pair gymnasium shoes.
 Quite trousseau for the young man now welded to the sea. Once week he must unpack his sea bag, unlash his hammock and open up his ditty bag and, spreading all his dress pos sessions out on deck, submit to scru- tinizing inspection. Jack gets his clothes from the navy storekeeper whether ih port or at sea. The sery- ice maintains factories where are made the blue and white uniforms and the close-ftting and warm peaiackei overcoat which he wears in winter At this season Of the year he aisc wears a jersey or sweater, which Is sometimes gotten from the storekeepel and just as often is gift from somg organization or the handiwork oi some dear girl.

 Built on Old Railroad Line.
 Probably $1 100000 was the original cost of building this roadbed miles of which were cut and blasted from solid granite At an expense of $75,000, the road builders have made of it first class motor highway, rebuilt and re- paired bridges, widened the roadbed where necessary, and generally put the 37 miles in excellent condition. While the road is almost continuous curve, mile after mile, it is wide enough at most places for cars to pass, and ordinarily careful driving is all that is necessary. It Is built on Az per cent grade.
 It Is wonderful ride from the world-famous Cripple Creek mining district through Phantom Canon to Canon City and Florence.

"a BEAT MAN"

As The Macon Telegraph says, and
as The Times Recorder has repeatedly
declared in recent weeks Senator
Hardwick is what may be called "a
beat man
There is no possible hope, based On
facts. that he can entertain for re-
election. The people of Georgia, the
great body of patriotic citizens of this
state. are ersolved' in their OWE minds
not to, send him back to represent
Georgia, as he has been representing
it.
HE may argue himself black in the
face says The Telegraph, "but it
makes no difference now.
Just another evidence of the grow
ing sentiment against further counte-
RANGING Senator HardwTck is the adj
vice given him from his home paper,
the Sandersville Progress, which has
basn his ardent supporter for Esariy
a score of years. That paper now
advises him, it even urges him, to re-
tire from the race, declaring that che
is out of harmony with the sentiments
of the people" That, of courses is a
mild way of expressing it, but it is
deeply significant coming from tina
Hardwick home place. HE should
withdraw from the race concludes
the Sandersville, Progress.
IT is no secrer that many of SeRa-
DOR Har0wick's personal friends, who
dare not advocate hfm publicly. are
advising him to withdraw, and, in fact
the report has been in circulation
based apparently on excellent founda-
/ tan, tnat he was considering the idea

clares that if Senator Ha1dwfck does
run out the campaign he win be the
worst defeated man in all the annals
of Georgia politics. We seriously

county, not even the county where he
lives,

speaking of the effect of war on wo-
men. he said:
at is an honorable circumstance for
man that the first moment he is at
his ease he allots the internal employ
ments to his female partner and takes
the external upon himself, and this
circumstance, or its reverse, is good
indication that people are, or are not,
civilized.
Among the Indians this circum-
stance fails on account of the military
establishment. Every Indian male is
a warrior and the civi lpart of the ma
ton is reduced to women. This is a
barbarous perversion of the natural
distinction of duties between the sexes
which | believe common to all barba-
rous people.
Civilized men do not subject their
women to labor above their force and
sex"
IL is true that the Indian woman
did all the work, except that of actual
fighting. She was a camp-follower,
carrying her child on her back. And
because the women of the Indian races,
subjected to Tabor above their force
and SEX" could not produce sufficient
children to replace Indian warriors,
the Indian, one of the bravest fighters
who ever lived, was finally defeated
and lost whole continent to the white
man, whose first move as a settler
was to establish a real home, where
women and children were better pro-
tected from war.
The vast amount of publicity we
have had in this country about the Bat
talon of Death has confused a great
many people regarding the fundamen-
tai and necessary distinction of duties
between the male sex and the mother
sex if the race is to continue
Nine Rotchkarova, the celebrated
Russian leader, now in this country,
has rendered a distinct public service
by telling the truth in this matter. And
the truth is eternal. The mother sex
cannot do the work the male sex
without sacrificing the work that only
woman can do. Women who realize
the dignity and glory of their own part
in the worlds progress will not be
disappointed in learning that their sex
contributes to military power most
efficiently through their sons.
SONG of us who are called "old FASH
.oned" had suspected the truth long be-
fore the recent statement of the leader
of the Women's Battalion of Death.

WOMEN IN WAR.

History records only one instance
that of the Amazons, of womem sue
cessfully engaging in war-like pur-
suits; and yet the Amazons were
eventually overcome by superior male
strength
For a time the Russians employed
the so-called Battalion of Death, an
organization f women volunteers,
which fought bravely, and at great
sacrifice. However, it was soon dem
onstrated that women had no place in
the ranks.
Hundreds of individual women have
distinguished themselves on the field
of battle throughout the ages, but wo-
mans best service to her country is
given. not when she does what men
can do better. but what men cannot
do at all
Perhaps the best and sanest view Of
the subject was uttered by Thomas
| Jefferson over 100 years ago when, In

NO COMPARISON AT ALI.

In South Carolina there are TOUR
candidates for the United States Sen
ate-one the present senator, two are
ex-governors, and the fourth is one of
the congressman from the state. ALI
of them are men loyal to their govern
ment, although the quality of the pa
triotism of Cole Blease has been ques
toned.
IN a. campaign like this it were i'm
pertinent and unusual for president
Of the United States to interfere and
by suggestion endeavor to dictate to
the voters the man they shall choose,
aud because the president has proper
ly followed this course. there are a
few papers in Georgia which are max
ing much of the incident in the hope
that it may rebound to the advantage
of Sly Howard. Their effort is to con-
vey the impression that the president
is not interested in the campaigns of
any state, but is concerned solely
with matters of national scope.
That may be all very true, but the
fact remains just the same that the
president has taken an active con-,
Germ in the present campaign in Geor-
gia and that, too, without Intrusion
or without meddling. In the first
place, he unequiyocably signifed in a
letter to the editor of The Times-Re
corder, that he personally preferred
Hon W. J. Harris to be the next sena-
tor from this state In various letters
to Mr. Harris and others he has also
made this point apparent. He simply
stated his personal inclination, and
let it go at that, without telling the
people of Georgia what they should
or should not do. The president has
also Enthusiastically evidenced his dis
appreciation of the conduct and record
of Senator Hardwick, in such way
that his feelings cannot be misunder-
stood. AS to his recent participation
in the controversy between Sly How
ard and The Macon Telegraph which
resulted in the ignominious rout of
the Atlanta candidate-the president
merely permitted the publication of
certain correspondence that had pass I
ed between him and Howard This
correspondence, however, revealed |
the fact, first, that the president wants
w. J. Harris elected, and, second, that
he does not want Sly Howard, and,
third. that Howard deliberately violat
ed voluntary pledge to him.
No one can claim from these cir
that the president has
either interferred in Georgia's politics
,r that he has departed from the pol
cv which, as he announced himself to-
lie South Carolina Democrats, he has
.d0pted toward all state campaigns.
Besides. in South Carolina the situa-
ion is quite different. There they do
ot have a present seRator with a
isloyaI record who is seeking re-ehec-
ion. nor do they have ia the persOnt
f another candidate man who has
led to the president of the United
tates and whose Implicitly and deceit
ave been exposed. Nor do they have
mother man as a candidate ike Hon.
Y. j. Harris, whom the president has
ignaIly honBrgd, and in wrlom the
resident has shown the GREATEST con-
dence and reposed the most intimate
rust.
The effort to draw an analogy be-
ween the Georgia aBd the South Caro-
ina campaigns is, wholly unsuccess-
I'll.

received a severe cut on the right
arm Friday morning while engaged
in doing a little piece of carpenter
work He was standing on nail
keg saving off a nail overhead. and
when the keg tipped over is said to
have slipped and fallen in such way
that his right arm caught on spike,
tearing a ragged wound from the ell
bow down toward the wrist Sew
eial stitches were required to close
the wound, which was an ugly one.
