In Defense of Macon.
lx> those public speakers who make
abuse and criticism their stock argument
< ver stop to consider seriously and fairly
whether or not there is any real Justifica
tion for some of the ugly charges which
they so often make? Sometimes we are
forced to doubt It.
We know It is much easier for a man to
make mistakes while talking from the
platform than when he Is required to put
It down in black and white, and this is
probably why so much more license is al
lowed a speaker than a writer. But, In
reality, one Is no more Justified than the
other in stating more than the facts war
rant.
\slde from the wrong committed, do
these Hpcakers ever stop to consider the
actual harm done to a community by their
extreme and usually unwarranted ut
teraniss? if so. we doubt if they would
really say so much. They mean It, of
course, to do good, but they paint things
as dark as jxieeible to arouse either the
consciences or indignation of their audi
tors. But is It right? Does the city, in
reality, deserve such treatment? Does
(he cane demand such drastic remedies?
Very few cities are what they ought to
tie from a moral standpoint; not because
there Is any Inate depravity In them, nor
because they are governed by men who
favor Immorality and wickedness, nor yet
because people in cities are naturally any
worse than other people, but merely be
vauHe Infractions of the moral code are
less liable to detection and actual violators
of law find it. easier to conceal their acts,
while environments compel the people as
ci whole to find other forms of pleasure
than those usually fftjrsued In rural com
munl'ties. And In these respects cities are
all more or loss alike; the main difference
being In the standard of citizenship,
which, of course, necessarily regulates the
community as a whole.
When, 'therefore, statements are persist
ently and emphatically and loudly made
that a city Is a particularly wicked city,
some attention should be paid to its rela
tive merits as compared with other cities
of its class, else wo are likely to do an
actual injustice, and to make a regular
•Sodom and Gomorroh out. of what might
really ho considered an ordinarily upright
community.
We doubt if even those who have listen
'ed nightly to all the hard things that have
been said against Macon, and who ap
plauded them at the time, have ever stop
ped to consider the rpal meaning of those
statements, their possible and even proba
ble effect upon those outsiders who don’t
know any better than to believe that Ma
con's case is really an aggravated one.
But just suppose The News was en
gaged in keeping Macon before
the public on the lines Indicated;
wouldn’t we pretty soon lose every adver
t Ider and every reader who oared a rap for
Macon and for Macon’s interest? Then,
•with this in mind, begin to consider and
apply what has already 'been said and
printed. Let us consider specifically some
of the things that have been said about
our city, and lets answer truthfully if an
Injustice has not been done her.
‘Macon has been held up to the country
nt large as a sort of Sodom and Gomorrah,
■where the young man and woman of good
moral character are in the gravest danger
imaginable—a hell-hole where the few
descent people in the community oughn’t
to want to live, and where everybody else
should be wearing stripes or in hell. This
is the way it looks in print, and wo sub
mit that the picture has been toned down
for the purpose of publication. But, now,
tire all these horrible things true of Ma
con? Is Macon, in reality, taking her as
most cities go. either very much worse or
better than other cities of equal size? Is
it worse or better governed than other
cities? If so. how much better, do you
think? And is it a fact that it is no fit
(place for moral young men to live in? If
so. are we not doing our neighbors an in
justice in asking them to send their sons
and daughters here to attend school?
Should we not think of all these things
tin a calm, natural way as we go along,
all the while remetnfbcrlng that most of
Us have got to live here and do business
.here after our detractors are gone—to do
the same thing for other cities.
Aa a matter of fact, if we were to ask
any moral, intelligent, prominent Chris
tian gentleman (we do not mean fanatic)
of this city to write an article for publica
tion setting forth Macon's advantages and
attractions, we doubt if one could be found
who would paint her cis she has ’been fre
quently pictured of late. If our Chamber
of Commerce was called upon by some
prospective settlers to furnish reliable and
accurate information as to the moral, reli
gious and social conditions of Macon,
would we be doing our city justice by
sending them some of the opinions recent
ly expressed by public speakers within our
midst and applauded by hundreds who
heard them?
M hich would be more reasonable and
snore just and more beneficial to our city,
•to paint her as she Is, and as Th“ News
6n its recent Carnival Edition did paint
her. a picture true tc life, and one. too,
that made her attractive from every
standpoint; attractive in her situation and
in her climate, in her location and to her
.health, in its cominere'al growth and in
r»r financial sound? >s. in her religious
privileges and educational advantages,
‘n its soc’al opport mines and In her in
due trial importance, or to merely state
t'.t« we have a river ani that this river
eorvtltuteo the chief Jiffersnce between
Mjioh and hell?
The New York Herald declares that
General Wheeler deserves all the honors
the American people can bestow upon him,
and commenting on the fact that he was
re-elected to congress by the unanimous
vote of his district, the Herald says:
“That the people of the Eighth Congres
sional 'District of Alabama know how to
honor a hero was shown in Tuesday’s
election. When General ‘Joe’ Wheeler was
re-elected (without a vote having been cast
against hlm.\ The entire country will Join
In congratulating the gallant old warrior
cm his magnificent political success.”
Mr, Jones Corrected.
Sam Jones is quoted in yesterday’s At
lanta Journal as follows:
"The Macon papers are neutral or a !
nuisance, whichever way you may see
proper to term it. I notice as a rule that
everything pertaining to the campaign has
the word ‘Communicated’ written above
it, which means, ‘we are getting pay for
this, boys; we are taking no sides.’ When
I came here the announcements of our
meetings were Communicated’ to the pa
pers. I called the Prohibition campaign
committee’s attention to the fact that they,
must •Communicate’ no more with the
papers as to our meetings in the tent; that
I was satisfied that my congregations are
nearly double their circulation and that I
could not afford to have the members be
littled by communicated announcements.
For the last day or two there have been
uncommunicated notices of the meetings.”
There is not a word of truth in the above
so far as it applies to The News, as every
reader of this paper knows. The News
made it a point at the outset to publish
full accounts of the prohibition meetings
and all matters of news pertaining to the
campaign without charge.
The Telegraph, we believe, required the
prohibitionists to pay for notices of their
meetings and marked the same “Commu
nicated.” The News, however, recognizing
the fact that this was not good journalism
refused to charge for anything of a news
nature, realizing that it was its duty as a
newspaper to give the public the news.
Written articles and communications
from either side ewer charged for at a
nominal rate, as is customary with all pa
pers, but many of the leading prohibi
tionists have taken occasion to thank The
News for its liberal treatment of their
side, in publishing the real news of the
campaign. If Mr. Jones had takrji the
trouble to learn the truth he would have
found this out, and would not have been
guilty of making a statement that has no
foundation in fact.
So far as the editorial policy of The
News is concerned that is a matter for the
management alone to decide upon. We
have a right to our opinion and a right to
express it, regardless of who it pleased or
displeased. By reason of the fact that one
of the owners of The News favors prohibi
tion while the other favors the license sys
tem, we bad tacitly agreed to let the paper
remain neutral. We were controlled in
this, however, entirely by personal mo
tives, and not because iwe had the slight
est confidence in .the prohibition plan of
promoting temperance. As a matter of
fact we are as much for temp-'rance as
any prohibitionist in Macon, but we have
our own ideas as ,to the best plan for pro
moting temperance and we cannot be
brow-beaten and blackguarded into ac
cepting a plan to .which we 'have no con
fidence. This is the position of The News
as regards prohibition question and as
freely and frankly stated heretofore. There
is no need for Mr. Jones or anyone else to
.mistake our position in this matter, but
we can hardly expect Justice in this quar
ter iwhere we are denounced for not doing
something that we have been doing all
along.
Foolish Extremists.
A few Catholic newspapers, iwe regret
to see, are discussing favorably a plan to
form In this country a Catholic' political
party, after the style of the German Cen
trists. The movement has made no head
way whatever, for the reason that the
ablest Catholics of the country are opposed
to mixing religion with That
nothing will come of this effort to form a
'Catholic party in America is a foregone
conclusion, but, in the meantime, the ex
tremists who are encouraging such an
idea, are working a distinct injury to their
church and co-religionists throughout the
country.
Conservative people see as little need for
a 'Catholic .party as for an anti-Catholic
party or for a' IProtesta'n.t or a Jewish
party. There Is. no religious Issue in
America, as is the case iln Germany, hence
no occasion for political organization on
the part of any sect. Happily, the ’broad
mindedness and decency of the great body
of American people made the existence of
A. P. Aism impossible for long, for such
a vile product could not survive In a
wholesome atmosphere. This same senti
ment would defeat any other effort ito mix
religion with politics, and of all people
the 'Catholics should be the last to coun
tenance such a movement, as, indeed, iwe
believe they .will be.
This Would Help a Little.
Representative Hall, of Bibb, has a bill
(before the next 'Legislature, which, we
believe, has been made the special order
for next Friday, that will help to settle the
financial problem that now confronts the
state, if it becomes a law.
'Representative Hall merely proposes
that the railroads operating in Georgia
shall be made to pay taxes on something
like a fair portion of their property, and
fce asks that a board of assessors be ap- -
pointed to see to it that such property Is
properly returned.
We cannot see how anyone who believes
in taxation at all can object to making
the railroads pay their just share of the
public burden, and. we cannot think that
anyone believes this is now the case in
Georgia. On the contrary, it is notorious
ly true that the railroad property within
this state is returned at a ridiculous
valuation. Indeed, if the bondholders could
see what value is placed upon these prop
erties by the roads’ officers, and that, too,
under oath, they would have good cause
to be startled—provided, of course, they
did not “understand it,” which they do."
IVVe happen to recall, the case of one
large system in particular. It is bonded
for something like fifty-five million dol
lars, but it pays taxes on a valuation of
less than five millions. Or, in other words,
less than one-tenth of its 'bonded value.
How does this compare with the bonded
or mortgaged farm? The Georgia farmer
/whose farm is worth $4,000 may be able
to 'borrow J 1,500 or J 2.000 thereon, and the
chances are he pays taxes on a $3,000 val
uation, at least; always as much or more
•than its mortgage value. But a railroad
corporation, having six per cent dividends
on any amount of matured securities, es
capes taxation almost altogether.
Or to make the comparison another way:
Let us suppose there are farm mortgages
in Georgia to the amount of $55,000,000,
(as a matter of fact the farm mortgages in
this state amount to less than one-third
of that sum) is it likely that these mort
gaged farms would get off with a one
tenth valuation? On the contrary, the'r
mortgaged valuation alone would prevent
such a gross discrepancy.
Mr. Hall's bill only contemplates a fair
return of railroad property. It cannot b?
charged that he seeks to impose any hard
ships upon the railroads; he merely asks
that that they be made to pay their taxes,
as other corporations are required to do.
It has been clearly demonstrated that
there is no such thing as securing fair
voluntary returns from the roads them
selves. They cannot be relied on to make
even a plausible statement of their value.
To say their returns are fraudulent would
be to dignify them by attributing to them
a serious attempt at deception, a quality
■which they do not possess. They are
nothing at all, and it is worse than farci
cal to pursue the present plan any longer.
We do not understand that the rail
roads claim any special exemption from
taxation; they merely wish to be allowed
to pay what they please. But even this
is unfair to the other tax-payers of Geor
gia. If the railroads, why not others? Has
a railroad any divine right that the state
must respect as above any other corpora
tion? *
We know they are operated on this ba
sis, but must it be allowed to extend even
to the matter of taxation? It seems to us
that the railroads are the greatest benefi
ciaries of the state government; they re
quire more protection and more considera
tion, and receive more than any other
corporation. Why, then, should they not
be required to pay their just share of the
public burden? Even a third or a fourth
of their part would be better than what it
now is. And the effect would be to con
siderably lessen the burden on ’ others.
What objection can there be, therefore, to
Representative Hall’s bill?
It is inferred that Roosevelt has gone
back on Platt already: Teddy has de
clared that he will appoint only honest
men to office.

Governor Candler talked horse-sense a
few days ago to the Gideon's Band of re
formers who went to him to enlist his aid
in cutting official salaries. He said to
them: “You fellows are pulling at the
wrong end of the trace. Its all right to
talk about lopping a couple of hundred
dollars off some fellow’s salary, when you
haven’t got anything else to do. But that
is not the idea now. We’ve got bigger
■work on hand. Why, don’t you know that
if you should abolish the whole statehouse
force. Including myself, you wouldn’t make
any perceptible reduction In the tax rate,
and you tell me you want to reduce the
tafces. Now, I’ll tell you what to do, and
I’m with you: Just go off and study up
some way to bring more money into the
treasury and get more property into the
hands of the .tax gatherer. Then you
won’t need to talk about slicing this fel
low’s salary or abolishing that fellow’s
office for the sake of economy.”
Spain’s evident intention is to break off
peace negotiations, unless she can get her
absurd price for the Philippines, and thus
require us to take the Island by force. She
will not renew the war but stand sullenly
by while we possess ourselves of her terri
tory. Spain thinks that in this way she
•will arouse the sympathy of other Euro
pean powers and possible cause their in
terference. In either event, she hopes to
®av herself from future political trouble at
home.
J. B. Fortune, the Republican clerk of
the federal court at Raleigh, N. C., says:
“The election ends the negro in politics,
and I am glad of it. It also ends the Pop
ulist party in North Carolina.” J. C. L.
Harris, another Republican, expressed the
same views .and said that "no less than
15,000 white Republicans voted the Demo
cratic ticket.”
The Washington Post devotes half a col
umn to explaining the defeat of Congress
man Joseph 11. Walker, of Massachusetts,
who two years ago had a majority of
12,000. The Memphis Commercial-Appeal
explains it in a sentence. Walker is simp
ply a dead game ass.
Nearly $1,000,000 changed’hands in New

Steel Company, who scooped in SIOO,OOO.
' Jerry Simpson denies .that he is out of
politics, notes -the Birmingham News. He
says he may not run for Congress agai»,
but he has not quit the political arena’iby

The hardest work about the 'Nicaragua
Canal, remarks the Houston Post, -will 'be

Erysipelas
Twa Diseases That Cause Their
Victims to Bs Shunned by
Their Fellow-Man. •
fiPRINGFIKLD, Mo.
Gsmtuemen : I commenced taking P.
P. P., Lippman’s Great Remedy, last
Fall, for Erysipelas. My face was com
pletely covered with the disease; I took
a short course of P. P. P., and it soon
disappeared. This Spring I became
much debilitated and again took an
other course, and I am now in good
condition. I consider P. P. P. one of
the best blood preparations on the
market, and for those who need a gen
aral tonic to build up the system and
improve the appetite I consider that it
has no aqual. Will say, anyone who
carfls to try P. P. P. will not be disap
pointed in its results, and I, therefore,
ahecrfully recommend it.

Spring field, Mo,
Gentlemen r Last June I had a
scrofulous sore which broke out on my
ankle. It grew rapidly, and soon ex
tended from my ankle to my knee. I
got one bottle of your P. P. P., Lipp
man's Great Remedy, and was agree
ably surprised at the result. The entire
sore healed at once. I think I have
taken almost every medicine recom
mended for scrofula and catarrh, and
your P. P. P. is the best I have ever
Brkd. It cannot be recommended too
highly for blood poison, etc.
Yours very truly,
W. P. HUNTER.
