terminals bought and Just a week
ago he was suggesting that the city
of Chattanooga ought to condemn
the present terminals there and ex
tend Broad street through the
property which the state of Georgia
owns there and which Is used by
the state road as its terminals. He
even goes so far as to say that the
purchase of this "terminal” property
has been blocked by bribery or oth
er .means. The editor of the Argus
also say* some hard things against
the "little editors, stupid legisla
tors and peanut politicians" who are
opposing the buying of that particu
lar land at this particular time.
All of which causes u* to wonder,
why? Why Is the editor of the

The Atlanta Constitution of
terday said It Is "understood that
he (the Governor) was dissatisfied
with the personnel of the body as
appointed, a majority belonging to
the opposing wing of the party."
At least Senator W. J. Harris and
Representative 'Joe Hill HM1, th*
opposition” leaders In the two
hotises, were appointed on th* com
mission.
The measure had the practically
unanimous support ot both houses,
and both committees of the two
houees, except that th* Governor's
personal representative In the
House, Hooper Alexander, offered
an amendment authorising the Gov
ernor to appoint three of the com
mute*, which was over-wbelmlngly
voted down. In his veto message
the Governor says: "I consider It
a mistake to limit the selection ot
representative* upon the commis
sion to members of the Legislature,* 1
although that was his suggestion In
his message quoted above.
It Is a curious coincident that the
other veto kills the State auditor’s
bill, fathered In the Senate by this
same Senator Harris, and In the
House by this same Representative
Hall.
It all looks as If the Oovernor
Is nalng the veto power to get beck
at his "enemies.”

THE PARTY AND MR. BRYAN.
The enemies of Democracy have
been accustomed to predict that
the party can be counted upon to
make a blunder at a critical time
and thus destroy Its hold upon the
confidence ot the people. The party,
however, has managed very -well at
this session or congress, says th*
Mobl|e Register. Some critics pro
fess to believe that Mr. Underwood’s
eking notice of Mr. Bryan's
was ";-%nnid*$sjBilkfti
whether the p
depart from Mr. Bryan's
or not. Borne party men think
the time has come for the party to
take a definite posltloiTon thla sub
ject, and say that three failures un
der , Mr. Bryan's leadership are
enough. It there Is to be another
failure, It may as well he under
olher leadership. In any case, no
fnllure can be worse than the fail
ures of the past,
Mr. Bryan has his views and hts
right to promulgate tyiera. It Is ap
parent. however, that the country
at large Is no more ready to accept
them now than It has been In form
er times. -The question the party
must consider Is, how to achieve
resa at the poha. No use to have
policies that are to benefit the coun
try unless there Is opportunity to
put them to practice, The first con
sideration, therefore. Is party sne-
before th* teglslatur* by petition
and by Its personal representatives
and officer*.
This veto does not affdft Th* Tel
egraph In any way, but a* a matter
of principle this newspaper favored
the measure, the Intrinsic natural
right to barter. The talk about a
return to free passes Is simply bosh,
and amounts to an Intimation that
the press Is purchasable. ,

the same thing to say that a farmer
should not exchange a basket ot

there are seriously considering the
advisability of such a step. Mr.

tion of the temper of th* Democrat
ic house leader, and the nnanlmous
and enthusiastic approval given Mr.
Underwood, aa the Indication of the
