The Georgian confesses freely that It has been alow to grow enthu siastic over the, Georgia movement for Immigration. We bare realised the advantages of bringing a desirable claaa oC. aaw people to tha state and these advantages wo aat forth on yesterday. Wa have also understood and recounted the actnal neoesettlee at our labor situation which Inspired and jnaUBod ths movement. Bat we have bean »o-happy in our bomoganaw population of Geor gians, and wa have prospered so famously with tha present elements of our population that we have not been given to haste nod eagerness la changing ths status by a foreign injection. Then. too. we have realised so wall the dangers and disadvantages which have coma toothers asd which might coma to aa from earthing leu than a moat cartful plan of selecting tattlers, that Tha Georgian bu bun clear In the Idea that Its duty to itulf and to tha people lay In that oooiervative attitude of watchfulness and warning which, by potting the leaders of tha Immigration movement upon their mettle ss to method and selection, would so shape their plana and guide their deliberations as to positively assure to Georgia only such Immigrants as would make good and helpful clUtene and effective laborers in Bald, farm, factory and domestic service# Wa now believe that this attitude la which we stood for the eon- urvativy and cartful element of Georgia bu done Ite work, and had Us wholesome and daslrad effect upon the convention and Its plus. Wa uy now truly and bOMttty tbaUthn Mneon eoaveatton and it* committees have done wall sad wisely, and wa believe Its work will be approval sad Indorsed by tha grut majority of the whole people of Georgia. There bu bun nothing wild nor hasty of enthusiasm la the conven tion work. There bu bun no sacrifice of tha durable and permanent good for the temporary and uncertain expedient. . There,will be no Indiscriminate and unworthy element of population landed on our ihores. Our own people with-a full and detail understanding of oar general and Individual needs, will go In a conaclentioas and responsible Intelli gence to the desirable countries of Europe and without booming or boast ing or mlsreprsuntlng. will bring back to our own stats ports of entry In limited numbers such persons from tha old world as offer In their per sona and records tha assuruee of a wholesome, helpful and. If necessary, an aulmllable company of white men to taka part In our Industrial and' domestic life, and In due time In tha affairs of our government. if this be done, and It must bedone. It Is no extravagance ol state ment to declare that Georgia u a result of this wise and consarvatlva polloy, will absorb Into Its population the but and moat desirable elate of new settlers that have crossed tha Atlantic within the thru generations that have passed since the dril war. It Is worth waiting and It'ls worth going slow to get such people as our foreign agents are Instructed to auk and to perautde. It It worth the patni and tha trouble and the expenu to get what we know In ad vance to be worth having rather than to open our doors and sand out reckless evangels only Intent upon bringing numbers without character or quality. And'In framing the policy which will result In aueh Immigration, we make bold to believe that conservative paper* like The Georgian, which have waited and tield and rotced S pnident apprshf nslon. have done the state a signal service In preventing the evil* that would have come to our people through the oppoalte policy of eegeraeu and carelessness. And now we can ufely call upon the thoughtful and patriotic peo ple of Georgia to bold up tha hands of the o(Beers and agents of the sound and sensible movement formally launched by the Maooo conven tion. They are entitled to our sympathy, to our confidence, to our co operation and to our money. We are not to expect the landing of thouunds of Immigrants In scores of ships, but llttls by little a few hundred at a time, testing the ex periment by Its results, we are going on to the enlargement and enrich ment of onr population, and to the peaceful but permanent revolution of our Industrial and domestic aystatn of labor. Wa believe that under the preeent promise of thla expertment wtth Intelligent and skillful laborer* of the higher class, taking the place of the Ignorant, shiftless and Irresponsible workers who have done our work In put yaara, that the Georgia oflllO will be In all respects a richer and belter Georgia, with Its fields blossoming in riches of agriculture, it* factories sending out finer fabrics than they have ever made, and wtth onr domestic service robbed of the uncertainty, the untidiness and Tha unreliability which has done more to discourage homes and break up housekeeping than all the appeals of economy or the temptation to tndul- grace. - The Georgia Immigration Association may count Tbs Georgian among Its friends and earnest champions ao long as It keeps the faith of the convention whlph fathered It.

Tbo Republican party having been brought to the teat, bu now defi nitely put itself upon record In one of the largest moral question* aver brought before the country. The caw of Reed Smoot, United States senator from Utah, bu been upon trial tor uvaral year* before the upper chamber of oar national GOSSIP And the moral wntimant of the country has been ranged solidly against the representative of a system contrary te tb* purity aad integrity of the American borne. The iuue Involve* something higher than poli tics, something larger than commerce, something mote Important than toll road regulation. As onr own 8enator Bacon declared. Senator Smoot, while he may have technically cleared hlmaslf of the charge of being a polygamist to persona! practice, wu yet aa apostle and member of the gov erning body of the Mormon church, and aa such, countenanced polygamy and favored a union.of the church and state. Upon whatever technical quibble the Mormon senator may have bam whitewashed ot personal complicity In Mormon practices, no sensible body of cltlnni. much lea* a great aad deliberate body of senators, could (ail to realise that In hU case wa* sharply brought to the fore the qneiUOu otffl- rect or Indirect Indorsement o f plural marriage* and a system of domes tic life contrary to every dictate of dsoency and respectability In the American home. Senator Smoot Is the son of a polygamist. Hla father had four wives. Whan he rucked the age of manhood be married a polygamist child, hle-wlfo being the daughter of the fourth wife of har father. He wu retained In hla seat In the senate against the moral sentiment of tb* country by the practically solid vote of the Republican party, which hereby pitta Itulf on record as giving tacit encouragement _ to the doc- trina* of polygamy which Smoot represents. ft is a matter of rejoicing that out of the forty-two members who voted for Smoot * retention of hla seat, only three were Democrats, while all the remainder of the Democratic senator* voted solidly io favor of domestic morality and Integrity. Blackburn, of 'Kentucky, who la retiring from of fice. voted tor 8moot. Clark, of Montana, from whom we could expect nothing better, voted for Smoot; and John W. Daniel, of Virginia, who ought to have known better, eurprlsed hi* friends by making the third Democratic vote In hla favor. Senator Dubois, In his final speech against retaining Smoot, turned to tbe Republican party and said: "You hav* get the Mermen vet*. Yeu have every on* ef them, my friends from the Republican aids, but It has cost yeu tha moral support of tho Christian man and women of tho United States." And or* feel sure that thla bold statment of Senator Dubois will not be forgotten In tbe nut national election. Whatever aberration* of mor ality may be obeerved sporadically in different localities, the public senti ment of this great American union atands for high and moral lines of life and living and condemns whatever Is prejudicial to these things. It la notan nxaggrration. to ssr theLtha yote^of the Republican majorttsy in the United 8tates senate, totally mlarepresents tho judgment ~and ihu wlshu of tbe great body of the people tor whom they stand. And twist It as they may. or explain It u they will, the Impression hu gone out to tbe republic and the world, that the unite of the United 8tatu, through It* Republican majority, has In some degree, leaaer or greater, given Its high Indorsement to tbe debased system of domutlc life which Reed 8moot. ot Utah, represents, even If he doe* not personally practice.

Thu verdict of Judge Run's court In sustaining tha principle uf the Hoy kin bill In the Andereon case meets the approval of the right thinking people of the state. * This Is ad era or moral reform through which we are passing and It aeeina wholesome and Inspiring when measure* looking to righteous ness and Justice should be pronounced sound and legal by the courts of Justice. The moral aentlment of the atale appeared to be pronounced and defi nite In Its condemnation of tbe practice of gambling In futures, and Mr. Hoykln. of Lincoln, framed a measure to suppress the practice which, af ter due consideration, the legislature approved and enaetad Into law. The Anderson case la the first legal teat which hat bean afforded to the spirit and text of the Boykin bill, and before a just and,capable Judge and Jury It has been determined that tbe Boykin bill Is baaed upon law and the will of tbe people and must stand. So that now we shall teat the eflcacy of the measure to suppress Kumhllr.g In atix-ks and cotton In the state.
