PACE AND ZIMMERMAN.

1t is genuinely gratifying that Sum-
ter county's two representatives to
the legislature, Messrs. Stephen Pace
and f. Zimmerman, will not have any
opposition for reelection.
On their record they deserve to be
sent back to the House again.
Mr.. Zimmerman has been a quiet,
unassuming but very effective worker
in the House, looking carefully after
the interests of his constituents and
voting after due deliberation on every
bill. Mr. Pace, by reason of his COM
mittee assignments, has been able to
take a more prominent place in the
proceedings of the House. Honored

as one of its ablest members. It
stands to reason that with the pres

an even higher standing during an
other term.

scented with these two gentlemen in
The lower House, and the citizens
generally should be pleased that their

A VERY SILLY REPORT.

Hon. julie FELTON,, one of the candi.
dates for solicitor general of this jul
dicial circuit, says that there is a re-
port in circulation to the effect that he
and The Times Recorder have traded
whereby this county will support him
in exchange for his support of Hon
W. J. Harris for the United States
senate in Marion county.
In justice to itself, in justice to
Mr. FELTON,, The Times Recorder de-
sires to brand this report, if such
there be, as a ridiculous lie. 1t is
a silly campaign canard that ordi-
narily would not be deserving of con-
sideration.
In the first place, The TimesRe7
corder would not be so unmindful of
its bounden duty to support a home
candidate for solicitor general, if it
proposed to take any stand in that
race at all. Certainly it would not go
out of its home county to support a
man for any consideration whatever.
Secondly, there is no connection be-
tween the race for solicitor general
and that for the United States Senate.
i candidate for the former has his
hands full looking after his own in
terests. and would not be able to full
fill any trade to deliver his county
along other lines. Besides, it is an
unjust imputation on the splendid citi-
zens of Macon county to suggest that
they can be snapped about like horses
at a gypsy camp.
The Times Recorder is not engaged
in the business of making political
trades. 1t supports whomsoever it
pleases 70 the extent of its ability and
influence, and does not rush over into
other counties on fantastical trading
pursuits. 1t believes moreover that
the candidacy of Hon. W. J. Harris
will take care of itself in Macon coun-
ty as well as in the other counties of
the state through sheer merit. OF
course, it would be gratifying to have
Mr. FELTON, actively lined up on the
Harris side, inasmuch as The Times
Recorder earnestly desires the cleo
ton of Mr.. Harris and is pleased nat
urally at any substantial support from
any quarter whatever that his candi-
dacy may receive.
But. in all good humor, it must dis
miss as silly and senseless any report
that The Times-Recorder has been
making political trades with Hon.
Julie Felton, or with anybody else.

south '
The Journals stand is that of pre-
| tended neutrality. We say pretend
ed" for the reason that editorially
and the editorial page repre-
sents the conscience, the character,
the soul, and the mind of any
paper-the Journal has adopted a
stand of high and lofty indifference
Apparently it does not even know,
SO far as its editorial columns are
concerned, that there is a race for
the Senate in progress, with loyalty
the conspicuous issue of the cam
paign.
Yet in its news columns it is ex-
erting itself every day to convey the
impression to the people that william
Schley Howard is the leading candi-
date and is the Journals own choice
Not that the Journal has failed to
give the other candidates a square
deal. 1t is too good paper for that
1t has simply slobbered over Schley
Howard, opening it's news columns
to him as wide as a church door on
Sunday morning, even sending one of
it's best reporters around with Mr..
Howard to report his speeches and
write columns of gush about the can
didate's reception at various places.
The fact that it is not doing this for
the other candidates proves that the
Journal is sympathetically interested
in Towards campaign and is, In
way, fostering his candidacy.
In this respect the Journal has the
distinction of being the only daily
newspaper in Georgia giving Howard
any encouragement or support at all.
For any newspaper, especially for
80. 80 H. ;voror+opoo IF tn Atlanta
Journal, to be on the fence at time
like this is a reflection on it, to say
the least. This is no time for neu-
trality. When the world is on fire,
and the question of fidelity to public
trust and loyalty to ones party, com
mander-in-chief and nation has be-
come a vital, throbbing issue, super
seding the usual and ordinary political
issues, one must take a definite, posi-
tive position. One must have convic-
lions and should be sufficiently moved
to express them. A neutral in this
crisis-in this political crisis in Geor-
ga, as we'll as in this crucial hour of
world history-soon ranks as a weak
ling. A neuter even becomes open to
suspicion. It loses all force of char
acter. Far worse is the supposed
neutral who really has convictions
hut doesn't dare to come out in the
broad open light of day to express
them.
That is why we say the Atlanta
Journals stand in the senatorial race
is displeasing to it's friends who have
heretofore admired it for its vigorous,
determined policy, and disappointing
to all who look upon it as a great,
representative newspaper. The Jour
nal is doing its duty neither to itself
nor to its state and country.

If dawn should come no more?
Think of it's gold along the sea,
Its rose above the shore!
That rose of awful mystery,
Our souls bow down before.
What wonder that the Inca kneeled,
The Aztec prayed and pied
And sacrificed to it, and sealed
With rites that long are dead
The niaryels that 1t once revealed
To them is comforted.
What wonder, aye! what awe. behold
What rapture and what tears
Were ours, if wild it's rivered gold
That now each day appears
Burst on the world, in darkness rolled
Once every thousand years!
Think what it means to me and you
To see it even as God
Evolved it when the world was new,
When light rose, earthquake-shod.
And slow it's gradual splendor grew
Der deeps the whirlpool trod.
What shoutings then and cynballings
Arose from depth and hight:
What worship-solemn trumpetings,
And thunders, burning white,
OF winds and waves and anthemings,
OF Earth received the Light.
Think what it meant to see the dawn!
The dawn that comes each day.
What if the East should ne'er grow wan,
Should nevermore grow gray!
The line of rose no more be drawn
Above the oceans spray!

WAR AIMS AND PEACE TERMS.

! LIE country is seemingly sooH " Icy 1A
other message from the president in which the
war and peace terms of the republic Will De
discussed The belief is expressed in certain
quarters and the hope is general, that this new
declaration of our national purpose may not
have the effect the pronouncement of February
eleventh did Of clouding the situation and con-
fusing the public mind The message encour-
! aged every pacifist in the land to renewed &C
tivity in favor of a compromise peace. Amer
leans who see no hope of any peace worth hav-
ing until it has been won by victory In the
| field-and they constitute the mass OF the peo-
Iple--deplored it as an inexpedlent utterance,
totally unnecessary to say the least; is there
room for doubt that our heroic allies would
have preferred that it remain unsaid.
The president may realize all this now and
can hardly fail to if he keeps in touch with the
popular sentiment as voiced In the press ana
by notable addresses like that of James M.
Beck. The American people have one single,
entirely definite war aim and that is to WIN.
Their sure instinct tells them that victory is
the Indispensable condition precedent to any
just and enduring peace IF the president en-
phasises this in all the forceful phrases at his
command his message will elicit the enthusi-
astic commentator of the country and the
unstinted approval of our allies as well as the
secret appreciation of the European neutrals
who dare not speak out as they would but want
no militaristic Colossus dominating the CONT
nent after this war is ended.
AS for our peace aims, there will be time
enough to enunciate them when our enemy IS
ready for peace on equitable terms. They are
all comprehended in the words justice, liberty
and security; and any statement of our specific
objects at this juncture is uncalled for and I'M
WISE We are but one of score of nations
fighting for human liberty. Our views as to
peace conditions may not all of them be ac-
cepted by the international congress. and
enunciation of them now may easily bring about
a quiet understanding between our allies to
stand together for things they hold to be vital
to their national welfare Manifestly nothing
is now to be gained by committing ourselves
to vague generalities like 'sthe right OF self
and ''the freedom of the seas, !"
platitudes which have a different meaning in
different lands. By freedom of the seas Ger
many means the right of neutral countries to
send food to her in their own ships regardless
of the allied blockade Do we mean that?
Certainly we did not stand for that principle
during our civil war. If therefore our presi-
dent proclaims our war aim to be victory and
our peace aim to be justice, his coming message
may be bugle call to America and to the war
wearied world to fight on with dauntess cour.

crown their work.
