The friends that I wanted to reach were
those who wish me in private correspondence
to discuss such matters as the following—
Was Columbus a Jew?
Where did we get our Sunday ?
Which is the strongest side of the question,
“Is the world growing better? and what are
your reasons for thinking so?”
Is Ridpath’s History of the World as good
as the sellers say it is?
Would you advise a young man of 22 to
spend four years at College, baying the moon,
as the best preparation for spending the
remainder of his life practising law, baying
juries and being bayed by the judge?
What did you mean by saying that babies
do not go to hell? Your enemies are using it
against you in this neck of the woods?
Is it a fact that the Pope recognized Jeff
Davis during the Civil War?
Does a turning wheel turn faster at the
top than it does at the bottom? If so what
about the ratio of speed at the middle of the
space between the top and the bottom?
Is it true that a cow weighs more when she
is heated by exercise, than when she isn't ?
It was to conundrums like these that I
applied the stop-gap.

Gov. Jack Slaton and the Senatorship are
different. They are legitimate prey, chronic
invitations to the chase.
As I understand the matter, Charles Pend
leton of the Macon Telegraph would have got
the appointment, if he hadn't died. Senator
Bacon would have, kept the place, if he had
not died. nth
Then, Governor Slaton said in effect, that
Clark Howell would have got the appoint
ment, if he had not said he wouldn't have it.
