FARMERS- SAVE YOUR COTTON!’
If there is any possible way by which
the farmers can get some value from
their cotton crop this fall, they ought
to have the chance. Hitherto all the
clear money has gone to the middle
man. and the speculator.
It ft so arranged now that you will
not be forced to sell your surplus cot
ton, because of being taxed on both the
cotton as well as the land that raised
it. It has been a crying shame that
such a state of things have hindered for
»O long. I know people who are taxed
on their land to the limit. They got
nothing from the land but the cotton
rent. Out of that cotton, which repre
sented all their revenue, they had to
pay the taxes. If they did not dump
that cotton on the market before Feb
ruary Ist they had to pay tax on the
• land—and also tax on the cotton. Be
tween the speculator and the tax man—
the cotton owner—was between the dev
il and the dfcep sea! I know plenty
of people who had to take S cents foi
their cotton, tor which the speculators
realised IL 12. and even 13 cents: a
positive gain of tii and thirty dollars
a bale. It was outrageous—it was cruel—
it was unheard-of tyrany. to pinch the
producer, to give bloated money to
those who speculated on the price—be
cause of this tax on cotton.
Hold your cotton until you get enough
out of it. to pay for the labor and
guano and taxes. If there is a reliable
organization anywhere that will guaran
tee to you. a price for your cotton that
will give you a profit—be sure to accept
it. We have been the slaves of cotton
speculators quite long enough.
In country homes the breaking of
. lamp chimneys often causes a great deal
of bother. If one will put all new chim
neys in a pail of cold water and put on
the fire to boil for a couple of hours,
the chimney will last twice as long as
in ordinary one.
' The objectionable sputtering and frying

Tie a narrow ribbon bow just above
the handle of your umbrella. Leave a

Housekeepers who have tried both

If a picture be crushed in the mail,
dampen the creases, press with a warm

Fish scales may easily be removed by
pouring hot water on the fish slowly un

THE ATLANTA SEMI-WEEKLY JOURNAL, ATLANTA, GA., TUESDAY, JULY 20, 1912.
“Liquefying the Constitution |
The historian Grote speaks of the
fact that a nation may acquire the
habit of •-constitutional immorality”,
and notes such a habit as a mark
of national'decadence.
Nothing more surely indicates de
cay in the moral character of a na
tion than a disposition to break
away from the restraints of its con
stitution. This must be apparent
when we consider what is the nature
and office of a constitution.
Constitutional government is not,
as some vainly talk, a government
by the majority; but it is a govern
ment by the majority under the re
straints and limitations of the con
stitution. There are things which a
majority can not do under constitu
tional government. A constitution
is, therefore, the protection of the
minority against the passion and op
pression of the- majority. Under a
republican form of government in
which the people are sovereign, the
constitutional restraints put over
majorities are like those limitations
of law put upon kings under con
stitutional monarchies. The humblest
and obscurist citizen of Great Brit
ain is protected against the oppres
sion of the king by constitutional
principles which no British monarch
has dared to infract since Charles I
lost his head for such infractions.
In like manner the poorest and
weakest man in the United States is
defended against the oppression of
the majority by constitutional prin
ciples which all the civil officers of
the land, from president to consta
ble, are sworn to support. In the
absence of such restraints no man's
liberty in our country would be se
cure. It behooves every man, there
fore, to insist upon absolute respect
and submission to the fundamental
law of the republic and the states.
Constitutions are the embodiment
of great fixed principles of right, not
subject to sudden changes, as the
fickle feelings or transient interests
of the majority may dictate. Statutes
may vary with varying conditions,
but the principles established in a
constitution are net subject to such
mutations. In the main, constitution
al limitations are the expression of
essential and eternal rules of right
and wrong: they are ethical in their
character. When, therefore, men or
nations grow impatient of constitu
tional principles, they show thereby
a disposition towards immorality
and manifest a desire to dethrone
righteousness and set up their own
wilfulness in the place of moral law.
Once they set out on such a course
neither they nor any one else can say
where they will stop; their destina
tion becomes as uncertain as ca
pricious desire and lawdess expe
diency can make it. All political
conduct under such conditions be
comes a mere matter of power with
out regard to principle. Dema
gogues flourish at such times, flat
tering the majority with high
sounding eulogies of "the people” in
order to accomplish their own ambi
tious designs and selfish ends. AH
the distinctions of right and wrong
become dim and wavering in the
minds of the . people, conscience
grows feeble and virtue withers.
Minorities arc oppressed, and the in
dividual becomes the sport of popu
lar waves of super-heated sentiment.
Even demagogues cease to be se
cure: for one follows another in
quick succession as the fitful pur
poses of a fickle populace change
from one sensation to another, just
as in the French Revolution men
who were the idols of the people
on one day were guillotined the next
amid cries of popular execration.

another industrial establishment in the
form of a silk mill. A representative of
a prominent northern silk mill has

a building of their own.
Macon was decided as the place to
locate their Georgia branch mill at he
last meeting of the firm directors. The
factory will furnish employment to
about 500 workmen, the majority of

MANY "REALT YDEALS
MADE IN 8188 COUNTY
(Special Dispatch to The Journal.)
MACON, Ga., Aug. 16.—1 t has been
ascertained from the tax digest of Bibb
county that over one half of the real
estate of the county has changed hands
within the past year. The tax values
of the county as has been recently
shown by the recent tax digest is $21.-
000,000 although it is known that the
county is worth considerable more than
is valued in taj returns.
Out of the one half of property that
lias changed hands, the books show that
one third of it was done for financial
considerations. Mrs. Liman L. Demp
sey is the largest real estate owner in
the county as the present returns shows
her property to be valued at >284,500.
It is to be feared that our country
is in a danger of this sort. The
light and sportive manner in which
some among us assume to deal with
our constitutional limitations is pos
itively alarming. In a public ad
dress widely circulated some years
ago, Theodore Roosevelt, while pres
ident of the United States and sworn
to support the constitution, said, “We
need through executive action,
through legislative action. and
through judicial interpretation and
construction of law to increase the
power of the federal government."
Such an utterance fairly construed
was nothing less than an exhortation
to the officials in every branch of the
government to violate furtively the
constitution which they were sworn
to obser.ve faithfully. It was an in
citement to commit a crime akin to
treason. Since, then he has not
ceased to take appeals against the
constitution. He is fond of re-enact
ing the ten commandments in season
and out of season, emphasizing al
ways, "Thou shalt not steal”; but in
the words quoted he deliberately
counseled that the rights of the
states should be systematically stol
en and given to the federal govern
ment. this energetic talker
does not conceive that the command
ment against stealing is of universal
application: when it serves his ends
he invokes it, and when it is in his
way he sets it aside without so much
as making reference to it.
Now, the worse form of secession
is the nullification of the constitu
tion; for the Union without the con
stitution is not the Federal Union,
under which the nation has prosper
ed and grown great; but it is an or
ganized tyrannj' of an unscrupulous
majority trampling under foot the
sacred rights of minorities. This
proposal to filch the powers of the
states to centralize the federal gov
ernment is a revolutionary proposi
tion as truly as if it were a call to
arms to overthrow the government.
Orosco and Zapata in Mexico make a
more open show of revolution, but
they are not engaged in a more real
or dangerous uprising against con
stitutional government.
If the Federal Government needs
more power to fulfill its proper func
tions. there is a regular and legiti
mate way for amending the consti
tution; but it does not appertain to
the executive, legislative or judicial
departments, or to all of them com
bined, to steal slyly the reserved
rights of the state or the people,
to confer such power on the govern
ment at Washington.
But does the Federal Government
need more power it now has un
der the constitution? Scarcely. It is
said that there has been accomplish
ed a perilous concentration of wealth
in the hands of a few people in our
country during the last twenty-five
years. Suppose we should centralize
the government and that eventually
concentrated wealth should get hold
of the centralized federal power. What
then would become of the rights of the
people? What powerful men would do
then would be simply what might be
desired by them while wielding this
stupendous combination of financial
and political power. The limit of
their evil deeds would be the boundary
of their eager desires. Os pourse they
would prate about "the dear people”
while destroying our political institu
tions and enslaving the nation. Did
and tyrant or set of tyrants ever fail
to profess vehemently their devotion
to popular rights and Interests? The
worst of the Caesars did that.
Men wielding concentrated wealth
and centralized political power would
use millions to corrupt the electorate;

MRS. LEOL/UONES IS
OUT ON SIO,OOO BOND
(By Associated Proaa.)
NASHVILLE, Tenn, August 17.—Mrs.
Leola Jones, accused of the murder of
Mrs. Alva Cave several days ago, was
released from jail on SIO,OOO bail late
this afternoon. Mrs. Jones refuses to
discuss the charge against her. It is
supposed jealousy was the cause of the
killing.
Mrs. Cave was the daughter-in-law of
Rev. Dr. R. Lin Cave, chaplain general
of the United Confederate veterans.
Her husband has been dead several
years.
such expenditures they would regard
as productive investments. They
would lay hands on the processes of
both the production and distribution
of wealth, so as to win the votes of
the ever-numerous classes of the indo
lent and thriftless, and they would
claim benevolence as the motive of
the schemes by which they skillfully
purchased the favour of the proleta
riat. Such cant phrases as "social
justice”, "a square deal for every
man”, “civic righteousness - ’, and the
like, would become the shibboleths of
the political Pharisees while they fat
tened by devouring the nation and
flourished by persistent pretences of
righteousness affected for the uses
of the market-place only. Men who
lead revolutions, whether openly or
furtively, always promise material
good to the. multitude. Socialistic
schemes are the baits by which na
tions have always been lured to the
subversion of their institutions and
beguiled to their own enslavement.
Equally with proposals to violate
the constitution surreptitiously by
executive, legislative, and judicial
usurpation of power, is the proposi
tion to make its amendment easy.
A constitution being the embodiment
of fixed principles, little subject to
change in any particular and in most
particulars as unchangeable as etern
al right, ought not to be susceptible
of too easy amendment. A process
of easy amendment reduces a consti
tution to the level of an ordinary
statute. ' Such ought not to be the
case. When a people frame a consti
tution it is agreed by them that
there are some things so settled that
they may not be readily changed, and
they thus covenant, all with each and
each with all, that these fixed prin
ciples shall be held inviolable. It
amounts to 4nfldelity to sacred
pledges when such an instrument is
set aside hastily x and carelessly.
At what point is our national con
stitution hindering any real or wor
thy progress? Why should it be
come the object of attack? Is social
ism so desirable and settled govern
ment so evil that we should be asked
to overthrow the structure of our
federal system in order to make way
for the visionary schemes of pas
sionate reformers or to gratify the
aspirations of inordinate ambition?
Let us be sure that when we break
settled principles of government and
fundamental morals, we are not pro
gressives advancing toward a blessed
industrial millenium, but prodigals
squandering a great inheritance, and
that we will soon find ourselves in
dire destitution amid a famine In a
region of life far from any real good.
A conspicuous man, professing to
be an authoritative exponent of a
certain picturesque movement, issued
from Chicago a few days ago a state
ment in which he said that our gov
ernment was too solid, and that It
was proposed to "liquify” the con
stitution. That word is exact, even
though it express a shameless pur
pose. It is fortunate that the secret
is out and that we know what Is
proposed. "Liquify the constitution"!
make that fluid and fickle which in its
very nature ought to be fixed and
stable! "Liquify the constitution",
or make a flood by cutting the dykes
which protect good government
against perilous waves, and then let
us go to sea! And that is called
progress! It is revolution.
While publicists debate matters of
mere policy the rest of us may sit
quietly down to hear without serious
alarm the discussion; but when it is
openly proposed to revolutionize our
system of government patriotic men
who fear God and love men can not
view the proposal with indifference.

ENGLTO TO WITHDRAW
HER PANAMA
Status of Cana! Bill as ReportJ
ed by Conference Is
Agreeable ;
(By Associated Press.)
WASHINGTON, August 16.—1 tis
said to be reasonably certain that r.o
further protest will be made by Great
Britain on behalf of English mercantile
interests against the Panama canal bll
if it finally takes the form reported
yesterday from the conference commit
tee.
The British objection was lait;
against discrimination against Brltisl
shipping. As such shipping is not now
prvileged to enter into the Americar
coastwise trade which alone is to re
ceive favored treatment in the canal
that objection is overcome.
It is regarded as possible, however
that in deference to Canada the British
government may be led to object to th<
prohibition against the passage of rail
road-owned ships, but state departmen
officials are confident that objectloi
would not hold under the treaty as th
prohibition is to apply to Americar i
vessels as well as others.
SOUTHERN RY. TO CUT
OUT PINE MT. TUNNEL
Announcement comes from H. W.
Miller, assistant to the president of
Southern railway, that the Pine Moun- j
tain tunnel, located between Pinedale’
and Nebula, on the Atlanta-Columbus
division, is to be done away with and
an open cut made.
Work will be commenced at once on
this Improvement, which plays an im- =
portant part in the advancement of the i
division.
With the passing of the tunnel, the
recurrence of another cave-in such as |
that in 1904 is precluded, and more ■
comfort is assured tne passengers.
