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. pm I©l POWDER Absolutely Pure 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 York City on the election. ’Boss Croker contributed $150,000 as his share of the losses. The biggest winner was John W. Gates, of Chicago, president of the Illinois 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 any means. In other words, Jerry is sock less and jobbless, but not hopeless. The hardest work about the 'Nicaragua Canal, remarks the Houston Post, -will 'be the digging of a right of way through congress with the big transcontinental transportation system in opposition. (According to the 'Washington Post the Pennsylvania voters went to the polls and decided that Brother Wanamaker is a good man who ought to stick to the dry goods business.
