YOUTH, LOVE AND ROYALTY

 Youth and love have had their way for the last hundred thousand years. They will have it for al least the next hundred thousand What are thrones and domin- ions in comparison? What has the sage counsel of age to offer by way of eom- pensation? Youth and age will never agree, says an old proverb. And Robert ouis Stevenson philosophically concludes:
 When an old gentleman waggles his head and says: An, so I thought when was your age it is not thought an an- swer at all if the young man retorts: My venerable sir, so I shall most probably think when I am yours And yet the one is as good as :hc other

F you have not registered, do not 4 delay longer. Important elections will be held next year and those who are not registered cannot vote
 The registration books are open at the courthouse every day. It requires only few minutes to become voter, and every man otherwise qualified should not be barred by neglecting to register.
 There has been larger registra- tion than usual, but a full vote is needed and the only way to have it is by full registration.
 The man who neglects to register has no one to blame but himself if the elections do not turn out as he desired. He is not good citizen who fails to vote.

Coal Operators Receive
 Unkindest Cut of All

W1ILIAM GIBBS M'ADoo
 w erstwhile Secretary of the Treasury, charges the down-trodden coal operators with having reaped un- duly large profits during the year 1917. As Secretary of the Treasury Mir. McAdoo was presumably in a position to scrutinize income tax re- turns and get first-hand information Strange as it may seem, the coal op, eratcrs who have been declaring that the.1 could barely make both ends meet and pay for gasoline, are de. clared.by MT. McAdoo to have earned from IS to 20Oo per cent on theil capital stock.
 Thomas T. Brewster, head of the coal operators wage scale committee says MT. McAdoo is unfair and in- sinuates that not being content with his high standing as an ex-Secretary of the Treasury, a presidential son. in-law and legal adviser to the movie worlds brightest stars, William Gibbs is playing politics. The statement of Mr. Brewster is Tread with interest in Mr. McAdoo's office and the gov ernment is invited to publish the fig ures to show which is right.
 While endeavoring to maintain strict neutrality, as between the op- orators and MT. McAdoo, it must ap- pear to the most casual observer that Mir. McAdoo certainly knows the psychological moment for taking a hand in controversy and accelerat- ing a presidential boom.

 It appears that most general idea which people have formed of gen, tleman is that of a person of for tune above the vulgar. and embellished by manners that are fashionable in high life. In this case. fortune and fashion are the two constituent in- gradients in the composition of mod ern gentlemen; for whatever the fash ion may be. whether moral or immoral. for or against reason, right or wrong, it is equally the duty of gentleman to conform. And yet I apprehend. that true gentility is altogether independ- ent of fortune or fashion. of time.

Atlanta's Hoax Cruel, But
 No Excuse for Biting

A TLANTA is a wide awake city,
 GN as rule, and that being so lit is surprising that a hoax could have been perpetrated as that of Sunday night which broke up a mass meeting being addressed by the Vice President of the United States, Thomas R. Marshall.
 An anonymous telephone message |came to the office of the auditorium land was received there by the engi- neer of the building to the effect that President Wilson was dead and that Washington wanted to talk to the Vive President over long distance. If the engineer had thought mo-
 fnent he would have called the Asso- ciated Press office and asked for veri- lfication. For, as every well-informed lperson knows, no important event happens without the Associated Press
 getting the first news of it and flash ing it in bulletin.
 ] But that never occurred to the en- Igineer in charge. He sent the in- formation by policeman to the stage, who imparted it to the chair
 man, who in turn stopped MT. Mar shall and announced that the Presi-
 dent was dead.
 Any man intelligent enough to be
 chairman of a meeting should have
 had forethought enough to verify the information, which he could have done in few seconds by calling up the
 Associated Press. But that he failed to do. The Vice President was not to blame for feeling crushed, because the fact that the chairman conveyed the lamentable intelligence that the Presi- Ident was dead was naturally un- questioned. But as soon as MT. Mar
 shall recovered himself he queried
 the Associated Press, to find to his |unspeakable relief that the telephone
 message was a hoax. The meeting 
 was broken up.
 In the meantime women sobbed, a minister offered a short prayer and lsomeone in the audience played on the big organ, Nearer My God to Thee" Governor Dorsey offered re- ward of $1Oo for the perpetrator of the hoax.
