Press Censorship.
Anything that tends to interfere with
tlr liieduni of tiie press has always been
considered foreign to thw American spirit,
and great must be the provocation when
tiie government finds it necessary to insti
tute .1 sort in' press cemtot’Hlr.p. While the
newspaper • tuiniseives might «: rt be ex
pee'ed to l.ivt.r such - ntt t !\-i en .-e oa the
part ot the government, w«. can but believe
that all i Iglit-mindi d newspapers will
readily avi-ipi it .is being both timely and
wise. •
In.l .4. it must In- apparent to everyone
that the irmteiiey of certain American
newspapers to pry into and make public
everything, nt wh.Hi.vcf nature, whether it
jeopardize . public interest or outrages .the
individual, mu l end oim w here. Already
tin :<• Join-mils, which even resort to theft,
forgery and perjury in order to "beat”
their rivals, have proven a greater menace
to the government during this war than
all the Spanish spies that have been sent
into Hie country. Tiny have published,
witlnr.it hesitation, information ot the most
vial and delicate nature, unmindful of its
value to the enemy, and through them this
information has reached tiie Spanish gov
ernment without delay. It was, we are
satisfied, such as this that made unsuccess
ful the Gussie expedition and several other
important efforts on the part of our naval
forces.
If anything, the government has waited
too long to ist ilish a press censorship.
But not alone in the matter of war news
should reason and common sense stay the
consciousless and reckless work of these
Journalistic prostitutes. If possible, a
standard of decency should be established
that would cause Ihe New York Journal
and World and others of their stripe to be
refused transmission through the mails un
til they have‘refill med. From day to day
they invade the homes of, respectable peo
ple ami expose their innermost secrets to
the gaz.e of morbid readers. With them
nothing is saeii d. I'he bordoir of the most
cultured woman is to them the same as
tiie dressing room of the most notorious
actress, and both arc pictured with an at
tention to detail that is insulting in one in
stance and disgusting in Hie otiier. As for
instance last Sunday’s issue of one of these
journals in its story of a notable New
York marriage a lion! to take place, gave
what purported to lie an accurate descrip
tion of the ladies' trousseau, with tne price
marked on each article -from the $25
stockings, minutely described, except as
to dimensions alone, to the most delicate
lingerie with the quality ami price of the
lace thereon.
If the government is powerless to protect
the citizens, as it protects Itself, from such
shameless abuse of a social privilege—the
freedom of the press -then it should, at
least, allow the citizens some redress
where his hmm' is invaded and his loved
ones outraged by lots of journalistic
ghouls, who are a disgrace to the profes
sion and a constant menace to society.
The freedom of the press is a sacred prin
ciple of our form of government and as
such it should 'be preserved; but, instead
of a benefit it will prove a curse,- if it is
construed to mean unlimited license for a
class of newspapeis which eater to morbid
appetites and therefore deal in all that is
most disgusting to decent people; newspa
pers which thrive on the demoralization
which they themselves work and which
fatten on the tilth that they afterwards
vomit forth for their readers. The free
dom of the press is no more sacred thaii
(freedom of the individual—yet quarantine
regulations are no more necessary than a
press censorship under the circumstances.
The one for the protection of our national
health, the other for the protection of the
national interests and national character.
Iho St. I'aul Dispatch remarks: “It is
a wise man who can tell the war news
from the soap ad. at the first glance.”
Lost Their Advantage
There is much speculation as to the
movements of the fleets, and ‘'specially is
the whte.ibouts of the Spanish fleet
shrouded in mystery. !mt thtr. is m im
pression that the giv.-. i , ffll j s ln posses
sion of .nformaaca whicn, wry wisely, it
Is not giving out.
A» any rate, the naval officers contend
that Spainhas thrown away, the strategical
advantage lu l l when her ships left Marti
nique on Wednesday last, before this gov
ernment Knew of their whereabouts. Ad
miral Sampson could not have reached
1 üba before the enemy got there, and Com
modore Schey’s Plying Squadron -would
have been equally tardy. Now, however.
Sampson wilt tie able to h ?ad off the en
emy, and Schley will have plenty of time
to join the blockading force under Commo
dore Watson before the Cape Verde fleet

“Smothering” Hostile Fire.
The ntw.< development of modern
naval warfare is "smothering” the fire of
the .nemy s cuns Deweys vessels did it
at Manila, and to this is to be attributed
the aos.ne. of casualties in the American
fleet, rhe meaning of the term is thus CX
plaimh by i Washington correspondent;
It is part of the tactics which come with
the lattst form of armaments. The war
ship of today carries big guns above and
in the tops there are machine guns. When
Dewey push, d his fleet right up to t&
Spanish ships under the fortifications of
Cavite he turned loose his big guns, and
at the same time the batteries of rapid fire
guns and the machine guns were worked
incessantly.
The l.ig guns sunk the vessels, while the
smaller guns rained bullets so fast that
tlie Spaniards could not man their guns
They “smothered” the guns of the Span
iards so that the latter were either silenced
or were operated at random and to no pur
pose. The rain of small leaden missiles
made possible the terrible execution of
Dewey’s fleet without corresponding dam
age from the Spaniards.
Constitutionality of the Income Tax.
One of the most notable speeches heard
duiing the present session of Congress was
that of Hon. W. H. Fleming, of tiie Tenth
diwtnct, which apears in the Congr<-i-onat
Record of May Oth, and wh;. a a com
plete treatise on the subject. In th it •: ,;a
nection it may b< raid that no member of
tne Georgia delegation has made a more
brilliant or satisfactory record in Con
gress than ha- Mr. F.'i ruing. it >s g.-m i il
ly predicted that this brainv Georgian u:ii
leave his impn -> upon the history of our
country, through his ability to clearly ta.i
any profioKilion that be nay have :ti hand i
He has delivered three exceptionally abb :
speeches during this f'ottgre on< -,u the '
Tariff, one on Civil Service, and last, but ■
not least, his marvelous sp. tea favoring an :
income tax.
A Washington paper, in giving a pen
picture of 'Mr. Fleming recently, said:
Among the most important thing, he
has done that has attracted the attention
of the country, and especi-aly of the press,
is the independent manner in whien he
dares to champion any principle of politi
cal economy that he believes to be con
sistent with the interests of good govern
ment. The force of his speech is felt in
every quarter; he is a scholar way beyond
the average, and a thinker who will rank
well with our foremost minds. ’1 he peculiar
ly strong position that i.Wr. Fleming occu
pies, is owing to the fact that every legis
lative product of liis mind carries such
force of conviction, based entirely upon the
fact's —wherewith he clothes his argu
ment —that members of tne supreme court,
United States senators ami the most com
petent critics of the press, characterize his
utterances as outlined in Che works above
mentioned, to be in themselves a treatise
upon the subjects that tie has so far
handled.”
The same paper in alluding to nis speech
on the income tax, says it is a magnificent
effort in its fullness of detail and unan
swerable conclusions, a cairn perusal of
this speech might be the means of making
some jurists change their views on this
much disputed subject. Mr. Fleming
reviews the full history of our country ami
the decisions of our courts for tiie last
hundred and twenty years, and makes
out what to us appears to be a ease
that is so strong in the soundness of it's
logic that no lawyer or jurist who has any
conception of the principles of law catn
conscientiously disagree.
Mr. (Fleming’s speech is conceded to b.
the 'best in 'the Record on the subject, and
it is well to bring it to tiie attention of
shyster lawyers and politicians who de
plore any criticisms of the supreme court's
decisions, to the fact that a reading of
this speech may stimulate thi ir intellects
to a comprehension of the equity of a just
taxation. It -clearly justifies the position
of the Democratic party in its insistanci
upon the substitution of an income tax
clause instead of a bond -provision as th<-
most patriotic means of raising revenue to
carry on the war. Mr. Fleming has had
this speech printed in pamphlet form.
A Forcible Argument.
An eight-inch shell, dropped behind a
Spanish fortification, is an argument of
such force that the iDons yield. They do
not stop to dispute its irresistible- logic.
Tne circulation of The News is an argu
ment similarly powerful with the wide
awake business man, who understands
fully the value of circulation. He does
not waste time. He knows that The News’
circulation possesses the two vital quali
ties lor a good advertising medium —
quantity and -quality.
Tiie News circulates, to actual readers,
in Macon and vicinity, many more copies
per day than any other Macon daily.
In her department of I'hc News Miss
Mary Lamar Patterson publishes a pointed
and appropiiate reply to -Miss; Isma Dooly,
who in last Sunday’s Constitution saw lit
to make an unjust and undignified attack
on the ladies of Macon. Cviiss Patterson's
reply is worthy i.l the writer and of the
wonn n for whom she speaks, it cannot be
consider! d a defense of their action, ovi i
which Miss Dooly tecls so put out, for the
reason that it needs no defense, bin it
probably can be considered a very happy
reply to a very unhappy effort at criticism.
The corresponded t of the Chicago Re
cord on board tiie dispa toil boat Hugh Mc
it'iiiocii cabled his paper a seven column
story of the t.attic of Manila. The .tolls
were $1,750.20. Tins not tnly .shows what
it costs to gel Hie news, but aijio what a
"space writer” -can do when he tries.
However, Hie Record’s correspondent is
not in it with the genius who grinds out
Associated Press news for the Monday
morning papers, who, as a tired operator
once remarked, can write a ten column
story on the word "it.”
Sam Jones in the course of a recent talk
in Shawnee, Ok., commented upon the local
i<linin isll a Lion as follows: "Should Shaw
nee diop into tiie midst of hili the devil
would not call an election for the purpose
id changing the administration of present
ollieials.” Sam said something like this
about Macon, and iie has. no doubt, said
tiie same thing about every town he lias
visited. In fact, this sori of tiling is Sam’s
stock in trade.
The Talbotton iNew lEra makes this cor
rection: "'We are told Mr. Henderson
served thirteen years as commissioner of
agriculture and that Mr. Nesbitt has
served only eight. We stated in a previ
ous issue that Mr. Henderson served only
eight years, .but correct that as above. iMr.
Stcyens will succeed Mr. Nesbitt this tall
and serve eight years.”
We have now not only a Cuban problem
but a Philippine pruiile-m and a Porto
Rican problem. Although neither the
Philippines nor Porto Rjeo are as yet fully
in our control the prospect is they soon
wilT be and then the question arises, in
deed. hits already arisen, what shall we do
with them?
The afternoon papers seem to toe leading
the way these days and the- paper which
reaches the people first is the one in great
est demand. The public want the news
on the day it happens and if anything oc
curs the afternoon paper gets it every
time.—Americus Herald.

A distinguished musician was waited
upon one day in his study by a rather
seedy looking stranger, who said to him
with what seemed to be genuine emotion:
"May a humble brother musician claim
your sympathy for one moment? 1 don’t
ask you to give me anything, but will you
lend me a dollar or two? You can com
mand sloa lesson or us much more us you
choose to ask, while 1 think myself fortu
nate if 1 esin get a pupil now and then at
a half dollar a sitting.”
"Aiy irientl,” said the other, touched by
this appeal, perhaps 1 can lielji you lietter
than by b'miing you money. What is your
brunch of music?”
”1 give les.-,oils on the violin.”
-ii, we will see what yon can do.
Here is a violin. 1 Will sit uown to the

The distinguished musician took the
violin irom him, rvjlaced it in its case
and coldly remarked:
‘‘My friend, what you need is a job its

‘‘Will you get it lor me?” eagerly asked
the culler.—Exchange.
