4 THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS. Tuesday. Artur. a, if* FOREWORD TO THE PACES THAT FOLLOW m 0 { T -fit' .) • , . * • * 0 • I r ' ‘ ' ‘ April has shown a spirit so fitful, so persistently March and February like, that we had almost become pessimistic when it came to the question of sunshine. Yesterday, with its rain, rain, rain, set us to thinking. We planned things that nothing less than an ice storm would keep you from coming for—Embroidery sale, Linen and White Goods sale, Silk sale, Black Dress Goods sale, a sale of Men’s, Women’s and Chil dren’s Underwear and Hosiery, a Suit sale, a Waist sale, Undermuslins, and a half dozen more. Every department in the house was called upon to do something very much out of the ordinary. And today the sun is shining—indications are it will shine Wednesday— But we are so glad to see it that we are going right ahead with our plans with ho change. You’ll find the details of one sale or another on nearly every page today. If the sun shines, so much the better; if the weather plays us false again, we’ll still have the satisfaction of knowing that every one who responds will be fully rewarded. i Chamberlin - Johnson - DuBose Company On. hum]red and ninety Vehicle., eon- •l.tlni of Ruffle., Surrey! and Runnbouta.

Washington, April Xl.-r-The two plat forms which most Interest student! of public affairs are the one adopted In Georgia upon which Hoke Smith ran for governor and was elected, and the one upon which Mr, Stephenson, of Wisconsin, ha* become ,n candidate for senator from that atate. They preach the earns doctrines. Mr. Stephenson, of Wisconsin, Re publican, want, a prompt and thorough revision of all tariff schedule.; act, too, doea Hoke Smith, Democrat, of Georgia. Mr. Smith denounces the Hlltnrice be tween "the great trun.pnrtntlon compa. nles" and the public official, elected to serve th* public. Mr. Stephen.on doe. not dl.cu.. the auction of the right or the power of public officials to serve private Inter- esta but he does demand, and make* his campaign upon, these issues: Istuee of Hie Campaign. Legislation authorising the Interstate commerce commission to ascertain the true value of railroad property. Strengthening the Sherman anti trust law so as to deter property Inter ests from combining In violation there of. The election of United States sena tor* by direct vote of the people. The Income lax. , An Inheritance tax. An effective child labor law. Opposition to ship subsidy and to all other forme of direct government boun ty. That Is a Republican platform in Wisconsin. There are few Democrats In this land who would not accept It aa a Democratic platform. Platform in Georgia. There come* also the Georgia plat form. which demands that the party machinery should be purged of men serving corporation*. It denounces tho E ractlc* of corporations making contri- utlona to campaign funds and de mands the enactment of laws to make ■uch contributions criminal. It de nounces the watering of railroad slocks and frankly declares that to be the rea. •on for excessive freight rates. It euys. speaking for the people of Georgia, that “they are entitled to just rates from the carriers, and no rate* can bo just that ara higher than the rates granted the people In surrounding states under similar conditions.” No one can read the brief summaries of these two platforms without seeing that the Wisconsin Republican and the Geor gia Democrat are working along nearly th* same lines. “Roosevelt Is Not Demooretlo.” Rome people think and say that Mr. Roosevelt, loo, la working along Demo cratic lines. The men who so believe have been overcome by the Roosevelt superstition In this country. Nothing that Is Democratic appeals to him. Nothing that stands for the government of the people does he stand for. He has occasionally adopted some Demo cratic suggestions and after emasculat ing It fofeed It Into a law. But the Democrats don't stand for the ship subsidy bill and he Is for It at all times. Democracy does not stand for Imperialism In government, yet he does —and you don't have to go out of the city of Washington to And how Imperial and autocratic this government has be come. You might ask the newspaper men who formerly had the entree to nil the departments, but who now are barred out unless they bring, like a man at a theater door, a card of en trance. You nltght ask the men who have been driven away from the front door of tho white house to which they have had entrance since the time of Abraham Lincoln and before, what they think about the Russian autocracy wMch 1s now being established In th* city of Washington. President Roosevelt aa a ruler Is masterful; as a social potentate, dom inant; ae a Republican politician, prob ably the ablest since Mark Hanna; but when one speaks of him as a Democrat, the speaker knows neither what the Democratic party means and stands for nor what the word "Democracy,” en tirely disassociated from Its partisan sense, slgtfffles. He Is an autocrat pure and simple, and Washington has never known so autocratic tin administration.

When Colonel Watterson comes back from Europe, after carefully, studying American politic* from the vantage point of Baden-Baden and the Riviera, what he has to say Is naturally re ceived with much deference by the American press as a whole.

FERGUSON, Auctioneer. asserted In a buret of oratory that If a person named Grover Cleveland were nominated for the presidency, the par- ty would march through a slaughter house to an open grave. As a matter of fact, the party marched through one of the easiest campaigns ever fought to victory. Yet perhaps Colonel Watter- •on waa right In the end, because, aft- er the (lection of Mr. Cleveland and> four years of his service, he led It to the grave which Watterson had fore seen. but which did not present Itself at the moment that the distinguished Kentucky editor had predicted. Parker’* Great Defeat. When the Democratic party, which had cast nearly 7,000,000 votes for Mr. Hryan In 18(8 against Air. Watterson’a bitter antagonism, which In 1(00 cast over 8,000.000 with hie ostensible sup port, nominated a certain Judge Park, er and received Mr. Watterson’* ear. nest and strenuous aid and enjoyed hie prophesies of victory, the candidate whom he was sure would be elected fell over 1,000,000 vote* ehort of Bryan’s vote In 1(04, and was defeated by the greatest popular majority ever regis tered against any presidential candi date. Political observers have a right to ask whether, when he predicts the tri umphant election of Hughes, or anoth er Republican, he speaks with more knowledge than when he predicted the defeat of Cleveland or the victory of Alton B.
