A SCRAPPY SESSION.

The session of the Georgia legislature
which will convene tomorrow will, it is pre-
dicted, be the scrappiest the state has
known in number of years. There will be
wide divergence of opinion on several mat
tiers that will come before the Law makers
for their consideration, among them the
proposed new tax law and several highway
bills. Each of these questions will develop
a fight. And there is another of which moth
ing has been said in the newspapers. 1t has
recently become known that Macon has been
quietly at work making plans to renew the
proposition to remove the state capital to
that city A rumor is current that 1T Will
be the most determined effort yet made,
and if that proves to be true it will prob
ably overshadow all other issues and be the
big fight of the session. Then, too, the suf-
fragettes will be on hand, and add to the
worries, if not the gayety, of the solons. AL
together, the prospects indicate a lively ses-
sion of the legislature.

A TEAPOT TEMPEST.

The action of the senate in making pub
lie by insertion in the Congressional Rec
ord the text of the pending treaty with
Germany while sensational in the manner
in which it was done, will serve no great
public good. The complete text available to
the public through the Congressional Rec
ord publication will serve no other purpose
than that of satisfying curiosity, because,
if reports from Paris are approximately
true, the crucial features of the former text
are undergoing notifications on account of
the German counter proposals. Curiosity
will be satisfied in the end by knowing what
concessions were made to the Germans,
these concessions being disclosed by a COM
parison of the texts before and after the
submission of the German protests
The important feature of the whole sit
uation is whether the financial interests had
possession of copies of the instrument be-
fore it was possible for them to be procured
as the one read into the Congressional Rec
ord If they had possession of these copies
before the terms were delivered to the Ger
mans on May 7th they were procured in a
manner that can be justified in neither NOR
ais nor law If they were secured after that
time and through sources which the Ger
man peace delegates opened those who have
them are not guilty of criminal though they
are of moral delinquencies especially if
they used the information so obtained for
personal advantage. Any American owes it
to his government to refuse to utilize such
information to the detriment of the govern
ment, no matter how great his chance to
benefit himself. Such conduct would not be
tolerated in time of war 1t is just as igno>
BILE in times of pending peace. The facts
should be searched out, and if any one is
guilty of treachery to the nation he should
be placed in the pillory of public contempt.
Sensational sessions of the senate and
acrimonious debate in that body will not
add enlightenment to the general issue nor
help to clear up the unsavory mess.

THE BOY SCOUTS.

This is Boy Scout week, when nation
wide campaign is being made in their
behalf. The merits of the Organiza-
ton should not be overlooked The boy
of today is the man of tomorrow. The man.
hood of the future is in the boy of the pres
ent. If the nation is to have a generation
of virile, clean and manly men the founda-
ton must be established in the character
of the boys while these characters are
plastic and responsive to ennobling influ-
ences
The membership lives up to the require
ment of its pledge. The cigarette sucking,
vicious outlaw who does not respect the
rights of others, who does a mean act in
preference to a noble one, who tells lie
in preference to the truth, and who takes
pride in being known as the meanest boy in
the town does not belong to the Buy Scouts.
The selfish, the over-bearing, the cheating
boy does not wear the uniform. The spirit
of action without impertinence, of service
without conceit, of kindness without senti-
mentality belong to those VINO are trained
in the principles of the organization. The
character nodded in this cast in youth will
not break in maturity.
When an unselfsh manhood comes to
the nation it will be largely traceable to thu
Boy Scouts and their ideals. True, there has
always been great army ready to do al
that humanity can do, but there is another
army on whose banner selfshness is inscrib-
ed, the members of which have refused to
do their part. Training the boys will make
more universal the legions ready to serve
and sacrifice. The results of Boy Scout
training on future men are summed up in
better bodies, better minds and better char
acters

"A Wondrous Bit Of Art"
From the New York Evening Post.

A short story in the bible-And a Won
drous bit of arts shorter by half than
the 205-word tale cited by Prof. Phelps:
And, behold, woman of Canaan came
out of the same coasts and cried unto him,
saying, Have mercy on me, O Lord, thou
son of David my daughter is grievously vex-
ed with devil.
But he answered her not word And his
disciples came and besought him, saying
Send her away, for she crieth after US.
But he answered and said, | am not sent
but unto the lost sheep of the house of Is
rael.
Then came she and worshpped him, say
ing Lord, help me.
But he answered and said, 1t is not meet
to take the children's bread and cast it to
the dogs.
And she said, Truth, Lord; yet the dogs
eat of the crumbs which fall from their mas
ter's table.
Then Jesus answered and said unto her,
0 woman, great is thy faith; be it unto thee
even as thou wilt. And her daughter was
made whole from that very hour.
Where else in literature is there the pa
thos of the three words, Lord, help he?"
Or where such lightning flash of dia-
logue? But for contemporary magazine

THE ROAD HOG.
From the Moultrie Observer.

The average man who gives offense by
claiming too much road by trimming wagons
and buggies too closely, by passing other
vehicles at too fast speed doesn't realize
that he is the man generally referred to as
the Road Hog.
This bond campaign has served to bring
the Road Hog into discussion as he has new
er been discussed before. He is held up as
the most contemplate being on earth Twen-
ty years ago we all knew some rough fell
lows who made habit of getting drunk,
cursing loud and driving recklessly. They
were regarded by all people then as the
worst characters in the country. They are
gone, and public dislike and public con-
tempt are now focused on the reckless au-
tomobile driver.
The people who are discussing, criticising
and loathing them know them by name in
many instances. Men are getting a county
wide reputation" as Road Hogs. We have
heard names called.
1t is not a very enviaOle reputation a
man has acquired when he becomes known
as Road Hog. If some of them knew what
is being said about them, and what is be-
ing thought about them they would not APP
preciate it.
Why should man want to have his fell
lows say ugly things about him, and think
ugly things about him? He doesn't He
thinks he is getting by with reckless driv-
ing, but he is not. His disregard for others
and his egotistical confidence in his own
ability to get speed out of his car and to
drive close to the other fellow at a high rate
of speed is making him, nuisance, and he
may wake up some day to learn that he has
injured his character

Terrell County Grand Jury
Wants an Error Corrected
From Fort Gaines Georgian.

The Southwest Georgian is genuinely
pleased to note that at least one set OF
grand jurors in the Patula judicial circuit
has recognized the injustice done the in
cumbent solicitor general two years ago,
when a bill was passed providing very low
salary for that official who priority had been
elected to and had accepted the place when
it was paying lin fees) enough to, attract
the services of a highly capable man. At
the last term of Terrell superior court the
grand jury sitting therefor offered the fol-
lowing recommendation affecting the solicit
tors remuneration:
"The solicitor general of the Pataula
circuit having been changed from the
fee system to salaried basis in the
middle of his term of office we recon-
mend that our representative in the
general assembly introduce and use his
best efforts to have passed a bill re-
pealing this law in so far as the pres
ent term of the solicitor general is
concerned After which time the sala-
ried system can again go into effect, II
this is considered best, and let the in
coming solicitor general be elected
knowing what his compensation will be,
as we do not advocate change in
method of payment during any lncum-
bent's term of office"
We are of the opinion that every gen.
eral assembly member in the Pataula circuit
will support Terrel's representative in the
lower house if he sees fit to introduce the
legislation 4rged by the grand jury of his
county.
Furthermore, we believe the senators and
representatives now composing the general
assembly of Georgia are willing for the
Pataula circuits solicitor-whoever he may
be-to receive compensation for his SER
vices in keeping with his responsibilities and
high order of ability required in the proper
discharge of all the duties appertaining to
the office. The amount of compensation now
provided by Law is far from adequate, con-
siderng the great expense the solicitor is
obliged to bear in attending to the work.

SHOULD GET TOGETHER.

From the Marietta Journal.
Everyone who has the best interest
of Georgia at heart should encourage
a larger measure of cooperation be-
tween the cities and the country dis
tricts. There is room for improvement
in this respect, as there is more or less
suspicion in the rural districts toward
measures which originate in the city.

UNSEEN LIVES.

"Wild flowers blossom quite content
In woods where no one comes to see.
And so I try to bloom through life
Though no one ever looks at me-"
How the vast multitude, like the wild
flowers of the woods, bloom where "no one
comes to see;' live and pass into the I'M
known future from a circle hedged about
by narrow limits How many lives have run
their course and passed on that were filled,
like wild flowers, with the beauty and truth
came to see them! The rose bush which
thrusts it's blooming beauty across the fence
to be seen and admired of all who pass is
remembered In its human type it will not
be neglected nor forgotten. But out in the
woods of life a wild human soul blossomed
that it might be admired and appreciated if
it ever came before the eyes of the visitor.
1t is neither remembered nor mentioned,
though its beauty might have been as great
and its coloring as delicate as that Of the
rose which hung across the fence.
1t is not being seen, but being ready to
be seen that measures the worth of an in
dividual All cannot claim public attention.
Some must bloom unseen. All cannot be
crowned with clusters of beauty which adorn
the rose. Some must wear the modest adorn-
ment of the wild flower of the woods Such
are the provisions of the Creator. But those
who live their unseen lives complete their
mission as thoroughly as those whose lives
are proclaimed from the housetops. Why
should they not be preserved in thought
though what they did filled only a small
portion of the unseen world?

TvNKERNG WITH THE CLOCK.

The action of congress in repeating the

news to very large majority of the peo-

do not like the government time. In large
cities, where factories abound, the new time
may be satisfactory, but in small places its
benefits are not manifest. In fact, many
