teachers and others that made the
winning fight for the lease. As Gov
ernor Smith said a month ago that
we cannot Change the mode of hand
ling the convlcta without additional
revenues." we presume the Governor
was on the "big aide" In the fight It
that time.
The convicts were leased. They
had been bringing only a few dollars
per mOnth. They were leased at
prices far In excess of whet was ex
pected. The prison commission was
congratulated for bringing such great
revenue to the state. Everythng was
all right then. Nobody cared wheth
er Hamby and Toomer were leaving
them or not, but everybody knew
that they had no great farm or other
place upon which to work them . In
other words .everylAdy knew what
they leased them for.- It waa for
speculatlye purposes, pure and sim
ple. There was no kick, because
moat people thought that Hamby and
Toomer and. other lessees, who took
convicts at such high prices, would
come out at the small end of the
horn. But Vhen they made a fortune
out of tnelr deal It was more than
some of the other wonld-he-grafters
could atadd. It waa awful because
It was the other fellow who got the
profits.
When the present, lessees made
their bids for convicts, it was then
year before the convicts were to
be delivered.- They bid In 1904 up£
got their convicts _ln 1906. There
waa a tremendous Boom in naval
scores, milling add other Industries,
accompanied bjf si labor famine. Land
that had been selling for a dollar pr
two an acre doubled In price. Every
thing went up and fortunes
made. In many apecula'lve llne*v' r «

He could have had a platform that fully
represented My Policies If he bad
sincerely believed In.My Policies and*
considered them vital to the welfare
of the country.
"The World does not pre
know why the president deliberately
abandoned so many of his professed
Issues on the eve of a presidential
campaign. But on the one hand is
the printed record of bis messages
and speeches; on thd other hand Is
tho republican platform which “grat
ified" Mr. Roosevelt and which' he
■praised so highly In his let'er to Sen
ator Hopkins.
"Already, Mr. Taft has had to set
his own candidacy right In the matter
of publicity'Afid corporation cent rlbu-
tlons. How much more Jlnkering/pf
Mr. Rooaevelt'a "excellent platform”,
he will find necessary can jonly be
surmised.'
"Why should the Commefcoe, of all I
newspapers, undertake-to conceal the
fact of ,Mr. Rooaevelt’a retreat and!
absolve him from the consequences
of his own capitulation. Has not,the
country a right to know why Mr.
Roosevelt, after all hla violence and]
denunciation and ferocity of lnvec-'

see that there was any greater moral
wrong In the sublesslijfo of the con
victs, even at good proflu. than there
was In selling land or making other
speculative deala that bring In big
profits. But the sensational Atlanta
papers and the politicians roll these
big profits over' and over In order to
make things more startling.
The '"rafflcldng in convicts” should
be wiped out at once, and our con
