Eastsra O Tiers: Western Off I era: PHtar^Mg^N*aMr*rk^^^^Trlbua^l»M*^Chlcar»^ Winston Churchill’s Campaign. if a Winston Chnrehlll, the novelist, I* showing some of the elements of the reformer In a more Impressive and unselfish manner than any of the good people In other states who are out hunting for gratters and oppressors of the people. Just at New York has Its Hearat and Jerome, Maa- aachuaetti Its Moran, Missouri Ha Folk, and so on, ao New Hampehlre has its Churchill, and he has been cre ating more of ( a sensation than any of them, perhaps. One cannot avoid the sneaking Idea when he dis cusses some of the other reformer* that they have their left eye on the loaves and flehee. Not but what they would really eitabtlsh reforms and things would be a great deal better than before, but then they teem to think that In order to bring about these reforms they themselves must be placed In office. They have no con fidence In the ability of any one else to do It quit* so effectively. • But such Is not the case with young Churchill. He comes out with the announcement that If the other can didates will accopt his platform—or rather that of the Lincoln Republicans—he will retire from the race for the governorship. He evidently means It, and this Is a spe cies of unselfishness which the world at large has not yet become accustomed to. It was only a short time ago, comparatively speak ing, that a little group of thirteen young men met In Con cord, N. H-, and organised what they called the Lincoln Republican Club. They met but little encouragement. The newspapers even refused at first to publish the pro ceedings of their meetings. But this did not fease them for a moment. They went right ahead. The agitation was against the domination of the state by tbo Boston and Maine railroad, and that corporation waa unmerci fully lambasted. It was Lot long before the people be gan to sit up and take notice. They came to the conclu sion that there must be something In that young fel low Churchill besides tbe ability to write a "one of, the best six sellers," and gradually he drew around him a strong support, which la making the old Republican ma chine quake In Its sockets. The platform has already been drafted. It Is n strong and able document and one which la well cal culated to appoal to the people. The old guard are about getting ready to capitulate. Bo now comes Churohtll with hit unaelflsh nouncement that he will renounce his candidacy for the governorship If one of the other aspirants within the party will accept the platform adopted by the Lincoln- ites. They are considering the matter and considering it very deeply, too. But the point Is that there are very few reformers who are willing to take this lofty position on any ques tion. Churchill has been making a remarkable campaign. He hae even had the assistance of Richard Harding Da vis—whatever that may have been worth—and there was certainly a fair chance of hie election., But he feels that there would be even a bettor chance of victory hereafter If the Republicans, placed In power under existing ctrcumatance*. failed or refused to carry out their pledge* and give the people the relief they need. The election up In Maine, where the Republican majority was smaller than It hae been since 1882, hot attracted considerable attention, but that In New Hamp shire will be watched with even greater Interest. At any rate they are not laughing at Winston Churchill and the Lincoln Republicans any mors. have tho assumption to think the American voter bo en tirely Ignorant on the subject Tho trusts are enabled to sell these goods abroad ■imply because a high protective tariff makes It possible, and Instead of trying to equivocate as usual the party, through Its campaign textbook, boldly puts In a plea of confession and avoidance. We are at least grateful to the compilers of the book for having taken the country so far Into Its confi dence as to let It be known what will be the leading Is sues In the coming campaign. If they make any more such confessions as tbe one to which we refer—boldly acknowledging Inequalities and seeking to defend them— the Democrats will know how'to act In the premises, The tariff Issue would Be hailed with delight The Republican Campaign Book. The Republican campaign textbook has at last been Issued and li ready for circulation among tbe unen lightened who have a sincere desire to know what the Republican administration haa done and what It hopes to accomplish In the future. Whether Mr. Taft or Mr. Bonaparte expressed the Mnttmcuti of the administration—whether It favors "stand pat” policy or tariff revision—there can be no uncertainty In the terms expressed In ‘.he campaign text book. It clearly declares that Mr. Roosevelt and a pro tective tariff are the Issues on which tho party I* willing to go before the people. Tariff revisionists. It declares, are practically free traders, and hence should be cast Intq outer darkness. The legislation adopted under the Roosevelt adminis tration I* alluded to a number of times In terms of cor dial congratulation, and deserves an Indorsement, It ■ays, at the hands of the people. Tbe brazenness with which It defends the protection ists Is sometnlng almost amusing. It acknowledges that manufactured products In many Instances are sent abroad and sold In the open market over there more cheaply than they can be bought in this country, but In effect it ask* whose business Is It If these manufactur ing concerns wish to sell their goods at cost or very near It in order to secure a foothold In the markets across the seas. How many people are in any degree prepared to be lieve that American manufacturers sre selling their com modities in the European market! at coat or anything Ilk* cost? They are not actuated by any such charita ble Impulses. They are out for tbe money and It may be depended upon that when they sell goods In England at less than the American purchaser would have to pay for them they are nevertheless realising a snug profit on the transaction. The facts.are ao well known that we wonder how the geniuses who devised this campaign book could A Great Organization and Its Georgia President. The National Farmers’ Union of America, 750,- 000 strong, has paid a distinct compliment to Geor gia, and at the mjic time given a well merited recognition to one of the ablest and most effec tive members of that great organization, in the election of Mr. Charles 8. Barrett to be president and executive head of the National Union for the ensuing year. Mr. Barrett iH a citizen of Upson county and haa been for the past two years president of the Georgia state organization of the Farmers’ Union It is only the recording of a fact to aay that Mr. Barrett’s administration of the affairs of the state association has been so effective, so strong, an productive of fine results, and withal so genial and so agreeable to the great interests which he represent*, that his elevation at Texarkana by an absolutely unanimous vote of one of the greatest organizations ever assembled in the interest of hr riculture, is a joint tribute both to his genial and charming personality and to hia tireless and effec tive services in the real and practical interests of the organization. The people of Georgia are not aware of the extent and magnitude of this great organization known as the Farmers’ Union. They are a quiet people and an unostentatious people who composn it. They do not seek notoriety. They do not as pire to live in the white light of publicity, and they are far removed from politics and vainglo rious boasting. But it is by all odds and far and away tho greatest farmers’ organization in this country. It numbers 750,000 farmers in the South and in the middle and further west. It took into its ranks 20.000 farmers in Illinois in a single day. In the state of Georgia, thanks to the brilliant and effi cient executive work of President Barrett, the as sociation numbers 54,000 Georgia farmers. There are 225,000 members in the state of Texas, and 109.000 members in the state of Arkansas. There are 92,000 members in the new state of Oklahoma just Admitted to the union. There are 69,000 in our sister state of .Alabama. And so, with these splendid figures the people of Georgia can realize thnt it is an organization of magnificent proportions and of equally magnifi cent possibilities over which this young and able citizen of our own state has been called to pre side. The magnitude of the honor, will be felt equally by the state and by the multitude of friends who realize the noble and effective work and the splendid qualities of the new president of the National Farmers’ Union. In all Georgia there is no man who joins to his business capacity, to his sectional loyalty, and to hia devotion to the great organization which he represents, a more genial and tireless devotion to hia friends and to the public good than Charles Barrett, of Upson, who has just been elevated to one of the highest and moat responsible positions in tho republic. Now we come down to a practical question. It ia within the power of the president and the board of director* of the National Farmers’ Union to choose the city which shall be the headquarters of this association. President Barrett and tho board of directors are absolutely unselfish about this matter and arc anxious to locate the head of tho Union in that place which will be the most central and from which its interests cAn be most fully ad vocated and maintained. The Georgian itself sim ply calls attention to the fact that different sec tions and different cities of this country arc com peting eagerly for the honor and advantages of being thd head of this association. Texarkana hns offered to the union all its tloor space that it cares to occupy with light Bnd hosting for all the of fices which they may require. Dallas, Texas, ia now cRgerly making a bid along these lines. Both of these states are in the further west, and The Georgian suggests that the city of Atlanta be not lacking in the same enterprise and public spirit nor permit these generous cities in our sister states to carry off the honor and the advantage of being the capital of an organization over which one of our distinguished citizens is the executive head. We are fully confident that when the magni tude of this great body and its importance to our industrial and our social development is thor oughly understood, that Atlanta will not fail to meet in full any offer which is made by other cities for the privilege and the profit of being the headquarters of the National Farmers’ Union with 750.000 Southern agriculturists behind it. We sug gest that the Chamber of Commerce and the City Council take this matter under consideration, and we confidently believe that when the magnitude and the importance of this great interest is un derstood. that these bodies with the full Rnd en thusiastic co-operation of the citizens of Atlanta, will be able within a short time to say to Presi dent Barrett and to the executive committee, “we are here and ase more than willing to meet here the offer of any other city iu the South for the honor and privilege of being the headquarters of this great organization. The Georgian mny be used to an unlimited ex tent to bring about this greatly to be desired re sult both in our columns and in the services of our staflf which may be enlisted in the effort that looks toward the planting of the central office of this great organization in the metropolis of Georgia and the real capital of Dixie. The Cuban Revolution. • The situation In Cuba appears to be growing more and more acute every day and there If no one who can predict what tbe end will be. Marines have been landed from the Denver and the Marietta, and If necessary the entire Island will be sur rounded by a cordon of American war vessels. Those who claim to be on tbe Inside and to have special Infor mation tell us that the outside world does not fully ap preciate the gravity of the situation. This, it Is said. Is not merely the uprising of a few political discontents, but has Its roots deep down In the heart* of the people, who feel that they have Just grievances which have been Ignored by the government. „ No relief Is expected by those who are most familiar with the situation until the United States takes a firm hand in the matter. The large sugar planters and Americana having other Interests on the Island have long since adopted a policy of arming their retainers and keeping them on guard around their plantations for protection against both revolutionists and govern ment troops. The end of It all. It seems, will be the establishment of at least a protectorate over the Island by the Untied State*. * It cannot b* (aid that this country has not kept ab solute faith with the Cuban people as a whole. We re deemed our promise to turn the Island over to them for self-government as soon a* they were even apparently capable of self-government. They have had every chance to conduct their own affairs without Interfer ence of any kind from this country. But the Indications are that the time la rapidly ap proaching when we must take a hand, and the' few marines which have been landed on the Island may be Increased at ahy time to an army of occupation. The moral effect on the world. If the Cuban republic shorfld fall, would be very disastrous. It would give color to the contention of many of the older governments that the Latin rices of the new world are constitution ally Incapable of self-government, and that Cuba Is ■Imply In the same category with the states of South America, where revolution is the normal condition. The development* of the Immediate future will be watched with something more than passing Interest grapher on his newspaper to Mr. James B. Nevln, of Tho Rome Tribune. This Is a worthy and timely compliment to one of the boat and most brilliant writers of the Georgia press. There are few men In Georgia Journalism who have more Individuality of thought Joined to more vivid and picturesque ex pression than James B. Nevln. Time nnd again Ills pungent paragraphs have shot to the core of public questions in Georgia, and his wit Is as keen as bis satire and as bright as his own.genial and generous spirit. It Is understood that Mr. Nevtn. on account or his other bu-.fness Interests In Rome, will not be able to accept the offer of The Washington Herald: but The Georgian, which knows him and heartily ad mires him, Is quit*/confident that other and even broader opportunities will yet knock at tbe door of this gallant and gifted young Journalist of Geor gia. JAME8 B. NEVIN OF ROME—Mr. Scott C. Bone, late of Tbe Washington Post, Is just about to launch a new dally paper In Washington to be called The Herald, and the fact that Mr. Bono Is at the head of It guarantees that The Herald will be a paper worth reading. One of the best evidences of the good judgment which Mr. Bone has always dis played In hia newspaper ventures Is In the fact that he ha* offered the position of editorial para- The Death of Henry M. Nelli. The death of Henry M. Neill, of New Orleans, re moves one of the most striking figures from the world of cotton. He was In his 78th year, and white the accident he sustained in being struck by a street car was not for a time regarded as particularly serious, the shock to his aged frame was such/tbat It was Impossible for him to recover. Mr. Neill was an Englishman, and came to this country Immediately after the civil war. He establish ed the firm of Henry M. Neill & Co., In New Orleans, with a branch house In London In charge of his elder brother. During the latter sixties be was one of the largest cotton buyers In the South, and In 1871 he was one of the founders of the New Orleans cotton exchange. Early In his business career he conceived the Idea of gathering data oo which to estimate the growing cot ton crop and for a long time he enjoyed a prestige which no individual in the South has ever approximated. It was no uncommof thing for the market to fluctuate 60 points one way or the other on the announcement of hia estimates. There came a time when he waa the storm center of a rather bitter controversy. Unfortunately his lean ings always seemed ts be on .the bull' side of the market, and It was but natural that this should awaken the re sentment and criticism of a very considerable element In tho 8outh. It was even whispered at times that be was retained In the Interests of the EngHsb spinners. He lived to overcome all theie sinister suggestions, but In more recent years he seemed not to have tbe clear prevision or the accuracy of forecast which had once made his name something to conjure with. That he waa honest In his convictions Is freely conceded to day and It ts recalled that on more than one occasion he sent out estimates of a bullish character which took the world by surprise and yet were subsequently ful filled. But something of tbe old charm and prestige had passed away, and added to his declining years, he haa not been so conspicuous a figure as he once was. When the record Is written no man will be mpre Intimately associated with the post-bellum development of tbe cotton trade of the South than Henry M. Neill, and the tragedy of which he was the victim lends ad-- ditlonal pathos to bis death. I GOSSIP Nooks and Comers of American Histor/ JACOB LEISLER > By REV* THOMAS B.
