The cold wave must have us a comin and a gwine. hit! We are just getting in share to appreciate the blessings of July. Seven days remain in which to do that Christmas shopping late, with the rest of the crowd. If Mexico or Cuba were to ti:rr. around and lick the United Stat es, we could probably understanc ; how Austria feels about it. "Watchful waiting" sounds all right for Washington, but if wt lived anywhere near the Mexican boundary, we'd want to move. The question now is which wil wear out first: the patience of tru administration or the patienct oftha mt cf tie America, people in regard to the Mexicai problem. "Sultan tells why Turkey go into European Scrap" -- hean line. Doubtless very interesting but we presume the uppermos thought in the minds of th. doughty sultan's subjects is" how is Turkey going to get out o this scrap." While the people of the Uniter States out of funds more s'.endei t.ian normal are sending tht Belgian destitute what aid the; can, a headline announces tha. steps are being taken by Ger mans "to collect w ar tax leviec on Belgium". When the inevit able happens, and Germany is. forced to sue for terms, on wha. earthly grounds may the merci less expect mercy? Consistency thou art a jewel. An exchange comes to our desi with an editorial stating tha cough and cold syrups and not trurcs have killed many pecpie One column distant from tr.e edi torial in question appears i Bmoothly worded advertisement of one of the most flagram cough nostrums on the market to-day. Evidently the business office and the editorial depart ment of this paper (one of the largest dailies in the State) it far, far removed. Frank seems to have been ac quitted by practically all of thi ultra-Georgia papers but in view of the nearness of his im pending doom, this fact probab ly does not afford him the satis faction it would under different circumstances. The feeling ol most of the newspapers through out this section is that Frank die not get a fair trial and his exe cution under the circumstance; is a regrettable thing for the state of Georgia, regardless oi whether he is guilty of the crime he is charged with or not Gande Kitchin, House Leader It l03k3 at this writin? a3 if Congressman C'p ude Kitchin will have to fight for the chair manship of the Hou?e Ways anc Means Committee, which carries nth it tha floor itadeisLip xf- the majority. .Mr. Kitchin is entitled to this chairmanship us he is at prvsent the rstnkir.jf member of the Ways and Mears Committee. He is also fully en- titled to the chairmanship on the g-oands of ability and fitness la the place. We predict and sincerely hojt that the fight will be a brief cne and that the other aspirairt to th s rtust important place in the lo.ver house, Mr. Finis Garrett, of Tennesee, will be snowed un der when it comes to a vote. Congressman Kitchin's work or the last tariff bill was efficient and thorough; he has a compre hei sive grasp of the work to re done by the Ways and Mean6 Committee and he is fully com petent to direct the Democratic aiajTity in the House. It is stated that Kitchin is op posed in his fight for this posi tion by President Wilson, on the ground of Mr. Kitchin's rcfusa ;o vote blindly for every measure advocated by President Wiv. at the former session. We are hardly inclined to be lieve that Mr. Wilson will attemi t o interfere with the action of the tbnsein this matter and wecer :amly do not believe that his in luence will have much weight, .f it is exerted. The House as a rule is fully able to maintain its dignity and preserve its preroga tives and any attempt at dicta tion by Mr. Wilson in this matter is likely to prove a boomerang.
