GREAT REPUBLICANS TURNING TO DEMOCRATS.
The remarkable thing In this remarkable era of American politics is
the convincing and converting force which Democratic Ideas are coming to
have upon the highest men ’In the militant rank of the Republican
party.
Nothing more remarkable than this has been noted in any political
era of our national existence.
Wo have called attention more than once to the powerful pulses of
practical democracy which are throbbing In the veins and In the public
acts of the strenuous president of the United States. This Is a fact of
general acceptance and of general congratulation In tbe rank and file of
the party In these Southern states and throughout the Democratic area of
tbe country.
But It Is not only Into the convictions of the president that Demo
cratic principles and policies have found their way, but there are other
great Republicans, some In harmony and some out of harmony with the
president, who are Instancing conversions no less significant and re
markable.
Here for Instance Is Senator Philander Knox, of Pennsylvania, who
was but Just now the attorney general of Mr. Roosevelt's cabinet.
Senator Knox In his address to tbe graduating class of the Yale Law
8cbool said:
"The national power of regulation should only be Invoked
when the necessity for regulation exists."
This Is a little stronger Indorsement of states’ rights than Mr.
Bryan's proposal that the Federal government shall own snd operate the
trunk line railroads and It seems to be almost In direct opposition to
the centralising suggestions with which Senator Knox’s late chief, the
president of (be United States, is credited.
And then the senator answering his own question In tbe negative
goes on to say:
Is tho mere production of goods commerce? If It Is not. then
can congress regulate such production within a state under tbe con
stitutional power to regulate Interstate commerce?
Which leads The New York World to ask is this better or worse
Democratic doctrino than Bryan's notions about national child labor laws?
In another part of bis speech 8enator Knox said:
Tbe power to regulate Interstate commerce does not extend to
the laying of an arbitrary embargo upon the lawfully produced, harm
less products of a state, nor to tbe right to defeat the policy of a state
as to Its own Internal affairs.
And The World again Inquires whether this la better or worse Dem
ocratic doctrine than Bryan's policy of a compulsory federal license for all
corporations that wish to engage In Interstate commorce.
Again, Senator Knox quoted from the decision of tbe United States
supremo court In the lottery cases In which It was affirmed:
The power of congress to regulato commerce among the states,
although plenary, cannot be deemed arbitrary, since It Is subject to
such limitations or restrictions ns are prescribed by the constitution.
And Tbo World promptly asks whether this Is better or worso Dem
ocratic doctrine than Bryan's theory that congress may arbitrarily decide
when a corporation Is a trust and exclude Its products from Interstate
commerce.
But most emphatic of all Is this statement of Senator Knox:
Tho constitution Is not to perish at the hands of an Impassioned
phrase maker.
"How, then," says The World, "does this apply to Mr. Roosevelt? How
to Bryan and to Meant?'- There can bo no doubt In the tact that this
statement from Knox appears to strike definitely both at Roosevelt and
Root In their vlows of federal power. And It Ipdlcates If It la Knox's
honest belief a courage and candor In expressing It which we bad not
been led to expect from ono whoso policy was so philandering In the mat
ter of railroad and coal trusts of Pennsylvania.
But it cannot be denied that In that particular prtnclplo of the Dem
ocratic party called states' rights over which such a tremendous furore Is
being made at the present time, It presents tho extraordinary spectacle of
a Pennsylvania Republican expounding a Democratic principle with more
fidelity than Is shown by tbe acknowledged leader ot the Democratic
party.
Tbe Yale speech tempts The World to ask If Senator Knox Is a Dem
ocrat.
Beyond mere captious questions arising' from this utterance there
comes the reflection that the Democratic, princlplo Is growing so fast In
thoughtful minds and Is being emphasized so largely by radical depar
tures from It on the part ot Senator Root more especially that wo may
well doubt whether or not the barriers ot party are going to be main
tained, and above all whothor tho time has not come for that reorganisa
tion that will permit Republicans like Knox snd Roosovelt to Join with
real Democrats like Bryan and Culberson and Hoko Smith In a new party
that will carry Democratic principles to a great and permanent triumph
In the republic's life.
THE TRAGEDIES OF THE FOURTH.
Out of the Joyous events and pleasant recreations of July Fourth there
comes a note ot pathos and of tragedy.
llcoords compiled for the day by Tbe Chicago Rocord-Herald show that
,i( people mot death and 1,471 were Injured. This record Is perhaps far
from complete, for, even with the vast and comprehensive newsgatlicr-
Ing machinery of Tho Record-!lerald, scores ot deaths snd hundreds of
wounded In Isolated places are not Included.
Two things apparently account for tho larger part of the casualties—
the dld-not-know-lt-was-loaded revolver and tho giant firecracker. There
Is nothing concqlvable more deadly than a revolver In tho hands of an In
experienced person. The very fact that a largo percentage of deaths acci
dental from this sourco are followed by the excuso "I did not know It was
loaded," Is argument that tho weapon was In tho hands of either an Irre
sponsible or Inexperienced person.
Rigid legislation Is needed against tho giant firecracker. Throughout
tho union on July tho Fourth and through the South on Christmas the sum
total of dead and maimed children from the giant cracker Is appalling.
Nobody would deny the boy his fun and hit noise on such holidays, but
It Is notblug short of criminal to place In his hands Instrumsnts almost as
deadly as a stick of dynamite.
Tho trouble Is that the country will stand horrified for tho moment
over tho vfctln|i of a public celebration, snd voice a protest against tt.
But In a few days tt will all bo forgotten and remembered no more until
another occasion offers Its quota of dead and broken victims.
Human llfo seems to bo about the cheapest thing imaginable now.
GEORGIA'S RURAL MAIL CARRIERS.
No convention held In Atlanta within Its history so directly concerns
the masses of the people as tho one In this city on July Fourth—the Ru
ral Letter Carriers' Association ot Georgia.
A fow years ago only rural mall service was Inaugurated by the gov
ernment. The cities had long enjoyed special facilities for the receiving
and the distribution of Its mall. Tho farmer got his mall sb he could.
Often the little postofflee was miles away, and If moll came to the country
homo once n week the family considered Itself fortunate.
The rural mall service changed this order. Now tbe farmer gets his
mally dally at hia door. It has worked marvelous changes within a few
years. It has robbed the farm of Its loneliness, and linked It to the big
world. Tbo farmer may have his dally paper, his magaslnes and his dally
market reports. It has placed him In direct touch with all the arteries of
trade, and given hint an Independence he did not dream of less than a
dozen years ago.
And all credit Is duo the splendid body ot men who make this rural
service a perfect system. They toil In the heat of the blazing sun. In the
snow and Ice of winter. In the rain, the Btorm and the cold. The simple
annals of the life of one of these carriers through a year would form a rec
ord of endeavor and devotion to duty unexcelled by meu In any other pro
fession. .
And It Is the devotion and sacrifice of these men that has made the
rural mall service a permanent and fixed Institution In the growth and
development of the country. Its value to the South cannot be estimated.
It has lifted the profession of farming as no other factor has, and by
linking the farm to the great ouUldo world, has kept thousands of strong
young men tilling the soil.
Atlanta honored herself In entertaining these 500 rural man carriers.
She was proud to have them, proud to hear of their work and willing to
lend any aid possible to lighten their burdens.
The Genreia association is In flnf shape. Under the wise guidance of
<
President Fred L. White It has become an organization for mutual ad
vancement and help. The leadership has passed Into the hands of another
capable man now, George DeBrosse, of Statesboro. The association has
been fortunate In having unusually efficient men to guide It, and this pol
icy will continue under the new men Just elected.
Georgia has 1,462 rural mall carriers, and no finer body of public ser
vants can be found In the union than this' army of men.
"A FRAGMENT OF HISTORY”—WHICH MAY SHORTLY
REPEAT ITSELF.
The New York World, In Its issue of July 4, significantly relates the
following “fragment of history":
Thirty-nine years ago today a Democratic national convention met
In Tammany Hall. Horatio Seymour, former governor of New York,
was made permanent chairman, Mr. Seymour having repeatedly refused
to be a candidate or to allow his name to be presented to the conven
tion.
George H. Pendleton, of Ohio, was the leading candidate, but he
was unable to command the necessary two-thirds vote. After a-long
and tedious deadlock General McCook on the announcement of'the
twenty-first ballot arose and In the name of the Ohio delegation de
manded the nomination of Horatio Seymour.
When the applause had died away nnd order waa restored Mr. Sey
mour advanced to the front of the platform and said:
“Oentlemen of the Convention: The motion Just made by the gen
tleman from Ohio excites In my mind the most mingled emotions. I
have no terms In which to express my gratitude for the magnanimity
of bis state and for the generosity of this convention. I have no terms
In which to tell of my regret that my name has been brought before
this convention. Ood knows that my life and all that I value most In
life I would give for the good of my country, which I bellevo to be
Identified with our own party.
“I do not stand here as a man proud of his opinions or obstinate
In his purposes, but upon a question of duty and of honor I must stand
upon my own convictions against the world. Gentlemen, when I said
here at an early day that honor forbado my accepting a nomination by
this convention, I meant 1L When In the course of my Intercourse with
those of my own delegation and my friends I said to them that I could
not be a candidate, I meant It. And now permit me here to say that I
know, after all that has taken place, I could not receive the nomination
without placing not only myself but the great Democratic party In a
false position. * • *
"Gentlemen, I thank you, and may God bless you for your kindness
to me, but your candidate I cannot be."
Notwithstanding this emphatic refusal on the basis ot duty and
honor, the convention proceeded to nominate Horatio Seymour by ac
clamation. And Mr. Seymour—accepted the nomination.
The World's meaning In reviving at this time the above bit of political
history Is obvlofis. What Horatio Seymour did thirty-nine years ago an
other, In a like situation may do today. Horatio Seymour was known as
"a man of his word," and tho declaration of his decision not to become a
candidate or accept a nomination was Just as clear and emphatic as tbe
English language could make It And when his name was presented, and n
demand made for his nomination, his response from the platform was
fervid and dramatic. He declared he could not In honor accept the nomi
nation. To do so would be to place himself and tbe great Democratic
party In a false position. “Upon a question ot duty and honor, I must
stand upon my own convictions, against the whole world," gives an Idea
of the emphasis with which he spoke.
And yet tbe convention proceeded with hts nomination by acclama
tion, and Horatio Seymour accepted it. In the face of the accomplished
fact, his protest waa as nothing.
It would be difficult to conceive of any other outcome of a similar sit
uation. ,
And history may shortly repeat Itself.
INDEPENDENCE
A few patriots signed the Declaration of Inde
pendence; a small army won the victory for our
Republic; but millions today celebrate with pride
and pleasure the glorious heritage of liberty.
However, in these commercial days a man can
best win his independence by establishing his cred
it and accumulating a good bank account, which will
be enjoyed by himself and in after years make
grateful the family he leaves behind.

Look Into the fashionable restaurants of
the great cities, or bearkeu to the between-
meals conversation of passengers award
ocean liners, nnd you will be compelled to
ask whether, after all, a considerable num
ber of people In this world do not live to
eat. Tbe unabashed Interest of some per
son* In the dinner table, and tbelr serious
concern over the vlnnds, savors of unre-
flneinent to n westeru-bred person, who nas
been tnuht to believe that the mere grntlfl
cation of bis physical wants, while nntu
rally Important, is scarcely n subject for
conversation In polite society.
The truth Is, however, that the number
of persons who will go hungry for the sake
of su ideal Is quite small; the emancipated
Jews were not among them. When the
pnngs of hunger attacked them, they forgot
all about tbe Joys of liberty, about the mar
velous crossing of the Ited Sea, about the
miracles of the plagues. n1»out the Pass
over and about the twelve sprlugs at Film,
Egypt. They preferred bread with beat’
Ings to hunger with honor.
"A Man Must Live.”
So long ns there are scores of thousands
of men and women In this land who pay
the price of dishonor, of the stifling of
conscience, nnd of connivance at actual
crime, for the sake of holding their present
positions, we must go lightly upon these
newly-delivered slaves. The argument,' A
man must live," Is the commonest Justifica
tion for unmeasured erll-doltig. Because a
man thinks he “must have” a certain so
cial position, a fine home, fashionable
clothes, elaborate meals, nnd a variety of
entertainments, positions of trnat are vio
lated, banks are looted, widows and or-
E hsn* are robbed, tbe laws of the state are
roken, nnd a stream of dishonesty, shame
and suffering I* let loose Unou the world.
And all because men of twlny, like the Is
raelites of old. have not the wit or the
stamina to nut first things first. Men 'must
live” only If they can live ns men of honor.
One ailment of these wanderers, ns of
persons not a few today, was their Inabil
ity to take long views, either backward or
forward. They could not sec beyoml the
present. When I shivered In the cold of
Mnnchurla I thought that .1 would never
again grumble at heat; but. lu. India a
temperature of 180 degrees smote me just
as hard ns If I had never known sero
weather. Past and future were blotted out
for these Israelites by tbe consciousness
that they were hungry; If only they con Id
be fed, they foolishly reasoned, they would
mind no other ills.
Facing tho Vorltloa,
Jehovah promised to rnln bread from heaven
f or them day by day—bread In tbe morn-
ng, and. occasionally at least, meat In
the evening, it was to come day by day,
suggesting that the spiritual life can not be
sustained on past experiences any more than
the body on stale innnns. Of course al Ithls
was a m!racle--* , Mnnna?” or “What Is It?”
providence is so Important that God will
work any number of miracles to maintain
It. Back of the fact, and not to he oh-
•cured by It, lies tbe truth. Ooil will
care for-bit owit even If ho has to send
the Augel Gabriel down from htgheat
heaven to act as one of earth 1 * messengers.
"The Lord will provide,” Is tbe homely
tested teaching or this event snd of tha
history of all those whom Jehovah has call
ed his friends throughout tho centuries.
As to the tnnnna, we can only repeat the
exclamation of those who first found tt—
”Wbnt Is It?" It wo* plaluly not a nat
ural product; we only know why It was sent
and the purpose It served. When God's
people are In need he brings out of bis In
finite treasure house stores new and old
for tbelr help. They think lightly of him
who say that he can do no more than no
already has done; Jehovah Is n God of ex-
haustless resources. Whatever the new con
ditions, whatever the peculiar clrcuru-
K nees, ho enu Ikj trusted to Indicate his
rdshlp uud to take care of his own.
8oma Crumbs.
God's givings are always enough.
Heaven always bolds help for earth's hun
gers.
The manna for seven days fell In six; for
the keeping of the Sstrtmtli Is as Impor
tant as the feeding of the body.
A portion of the innuna was preserved In
the ark ns n memorial; the memory of the
past Is u help In the present.
They who trust God for breud are likely
to be given meat also.
Grumbling Is not ouly bad form; It ll Ir
religious os well.

ZIMMER TO RAISE
FROGS FOR MARKET
In addition to operating hia hotel,
the Kimball, Will V. Zimmer la pre
paring to go Into the fanning business
on a rather large scale, with a frog In.
dustry on the tftde.
Thursday Mr. Zimmer purchased
through Faver & Black, a tract of
land containing 100 acres, located on
the eastern aide of the city and just
Iwyond the present corporate limits.
This tract Mr. Zimmer expects to turn
into a model truck, cattle and dairy
farm with frog nnd fish ponds to fur
nish the delicacies.
Mr. Zimmer Is a practical farmer as
well as a good hotel man, and In ad
dition to raising vegetables, frogs and
fUh. will supply his farm with a herd
of tine Jersey*, a herd of swine and a
»umber of the beat breed of chickens.
Mr. Zimmer will erect a comfortable

remarked. In commenting upon one of Ills
BoyvJIle quarrels, "I don t know why It Is,
but somehow I never get to bo really good
friends with a fellow until I have licked
him.” There Is n philosophy lying back of
tho youngster's remarks. Jehovah could
never get along with his chosen people un
til be had shown them Ids sovereignty, nnd
that they were dependent wholly upon him.
Now once again In the wilderness, s* In
Egypt nnd at the Red Sen. the Israelites
had to be brought face to face with tho
great verity, thot It Is God who provides.
This was the lesson which was being
taught, "line upon line, precept upon pre
cept.” In that forty-year session of the Wil
derness school. Tne Jews had to learn, be
fore they could become In truth a nation,
thnt Jehovah alone was Ood. nnd that He
was tbelr God, tbelr guide, their protector,
tbelr provider. Proud man has to !>e made
aware of his Insufficiency* enrth Is utterly
dependent upon heaven, in the face of a
storm, n drought, a flood, he Is as helpless
ns a eockleshell upon the wind-tossed ocean.
To learn tbe existence of a heaven It Is
worth while to feel the shaking of earth
beneath one's feet. . * M _ „
The tremendous and vital truth of fi«l i
providence may not be obscured by second
ary causes. What If He chooses to send
our dally bread by tho way of the wheat
field, the miller nnd the bake oven. Instead
of by rain from heaven? As Moltblo D.
llnlHMick sang:
“Rack of tho loaf Is the snowy flour,
And back of the flour the mill;
And back of the mill Is the wheat and tbe
shower. _ .
And. tho sun nnd the Father s will.
Greedy and Grumbling.
In certain continental countries the news
papers bnve "prison editors,” cheap hire
lings, who bear the legs! title of editor, but
whose sole duty It Is to go to Jail for the
paper's offenses against the rigorous laws
affecting the freedom of the press. This
sort of editorial scapegoat in list be t con
venience; for It Is In human nature to want
to blame all that goes amiss upon some-
body. Now those ungrateful slaves, “the
whole congregation the children of
Israel,” turned against tbelr lenders us
soon ns they felt the plnrh of hardship.
Hear them: "Would that we had died by
the band of Jehovah In the land of Egypt,
where we sat by the flesh pots, where we
did eat bread to the full: for ye have
brought us forth Into this wilderness to kill
this Whole assembly with hunger.”
Poor Moses. He deserves the sympathy
which every great leader nlwnvs deserve*
and rarely receives; ami especial cominls-
ration should Ik» extended to him because
he had to work with an uncommonly for
getful, ungrateful, unappreciative mu! re

Montclair, N. J.. July E.—Former
Governor w. J. Northern of Georgia,
waa the orator at yeeterday'a celebra
tion, speaking to a large audience on
the relation of the racea In the South.
“It la a great mlatake," he said, “to
believe that there le no kind of har
mony between the better eletnente of
the racea In Georgia and at the South.
Quite the contrary Is true.
"Whilst the negro la In no way re-
eponalble for the beginning of the prob
lem, he la most criminally responsible
for Its wicked continuance. This re
sponsibility Is upon them, and upon
them solely. We expect to so hold
them until they are controlled, properly
punished and made obedient to law. In
this effort the better negroes are now
rendering most helpful service snd
counsel."
