}! There Is no necessity for changing
'the qualifications of voters In tho state
j Democratic primary this year from
jyrhab they have been for, years paBt,
hnq when the State Democratic Cota-
•hpoe. which meets In Atlanta on
'Agopday, will find It easy to readopt tho
same tales and regulations that have

] The Samson (Ala.) Lodger Is kind
'enough to say: "A friend sent us a
cbpy of the Chautauqua Edition of tho
Albany’ (Qa.) Herald, and the paper
was a gem. The Herald Is one of tho
best papers we have ever known to ho
published In a town the size of Albany,
and It Is due to tho paper, more than
any one thing, thnt Albany Is making
a city."
China's cheapest book Is the New
Testament In Chlneso, published by
t,he British and Foreign Bible Society.
It coatg fourpettce to print and Is sold
at twopence. Copies In alt tho great
Indian ilangunges cost one penny (two
cents) to print, and they are, sold In
India at one farthing (half a cent).
The Bible Is now the cheapest book In
the- world.
),
"The Steel Trust has announced thnt.
In spite of the great demand for mils,
HOLD THE CONVENTION IN
MACON.
The State Democratic Committee Is
called to meet In Atlanta on Monday
to order the state primary and (lx the
time and place for the meeting of the
State Democratic convention to nomin
ate candidates for governor and Btate
house officers.
Macon Is bidding for the stufe con
ventlon this time, and the Indications
are thfat It will get It.
Unusual conditions exist In the cam-
palgn this year, and there appears to
be good reason for selecting some
other city than Atlanta for holding the
convention.
Th^t the local Influence In Atlanta,
the seat of the state government, with
a long list of officeholders and hangers
on, 1b alwayB In evidence when there
is a- contest on In a state convention,
Is well known to all who bavo ever
“been through the mill,", and this year,
when Atlanta has two candidates for
governor, the Atlanta Influence might
be expected to bo more In evidence at
the convention than ever.
And then the contest between the
two Atlanta candidates and the rivalry
between their respective organs, the
two leading newspapers of Atlanta,
has degenerated Into a feud. Each fac
tion has Its adherents In Atlanta, and
If the state convention meets there
they will both be very much In evi
dence, each trying to down the other
and to get control of the convention.
These conditions are well known to
the members of the State Democratic
Committee, as they are to everybody
else Jn the state, and that they will
have their weight when It comes to
selecting the place for the meeting of
the convention can scarcely bo
doubted.
Lot the state convention be held In
Macon. That city Is asking for It and
will bo able to show that it will be
prepared to take care of It.
which Jwould seem to justify an ad
vance in price, the trust will be moder
ate in Its exactions and slick lo the
price of $28. Thnt is eight or ten dol-
lata a ton moi Ilian the trust Is glad
(o accept from foreigners: it is more
than tvHco as much as Charles Schwab
bon said It cost to make them, and It
would be Impossible for the trust to
get the price If It were not for the
tariff. .In view of the difficulty the
"stand-pattera" have In keeping the
tarlT dlscusslpn down, an Increase In
'the price of steel rails might cause an
explosion that would throw the lid
■jand the men who are sitting on it Into
j the air.
j By earthquake and fire San Fran-
; ptsco, has lost not only several hum
,-dreds of lives and $250,000,000 prop
erty, but also more than hulf of her
I population. Officials of tho Southern
Pacific railroad state that their trains
I have already carried- away from the
’' Stricken city more than 225,000 people.
(V.'bile a great number of these will
f/return eventually, the majority of
them fled in a panic the effects of
j 'which will be long in wearing off. The
horror of the earthquake and the Are
sent them flying from a scene to which
the weaker spirits will never dare to
return. The reconstruction of the city
wtll have to be the work of those who
i have been brave enough to remain,
determined to raise up a new and
greater city upon the ashes of the old.
TE ' . . Us, i
ALBANY A8 A CONVENTION CITY,
The attention of the state 18 being
rapidly drawn to the fact that Albany
1b n. convention city with claims which
cannot be lgnpred, and which, It Is
worthy of note In passing, there Is no
disposition to Ignore.
Next week the Georgia division of
the T. P. A. will hold Its annual con
vention In this city, and on tho 29th
and 30th proximo the State Associa
tion of Elkf^ will be the community's
guests. Present Indications strongly
Indicate that In 1907 Beveral of the
lurgest conventions to bo held in Geor
gia, Including the gatherings of sev
eral secret orders and moetlngs of va
rious other Important bodies, will oc-
our within Albany's hospitable gates.
There are many reasons why Albany
Is inviting as a convention city; She
has the grent prorequisite In tbut her
inlltaad facilities are unsurpassed.
Seven lines rndlnte In ns mnny direc
tions, affording quick and easy access
from all Georgia points. Furthermore,
the magnificent auditorium of tho
Georgia Chnutnuqup, which Is capable
of accommodating 4.000 persona, tri
umphantly solves the problem which
proves a nightmare to mnny a city
three or four times Albany’s size and
population. Hotel and boarding house
accommodations are adequate for all
ordinary conventions, and nro bolnpj
Increased every year.
And last, but not least to be consid
ered. Is the fact well understood by
the average person who knows any
thing about Albany, thnt this city has
a way of extending the glad hnnd to
her guests and making them feet that
they are welcome. That spirit goes a
long way In winning a community's
battles, and It has long been carefully
fostetad In Albany.
Albany wnnts all the conventions
she can get. May the time speedily
come when she shall be able to get all
she may want
It seems that the Turner County
Banner, over at Ashburn, has boen
criticized for publishing some "un
pleasant things” about people in the
community — making news Items of
some people’s misdeeds, and In reply
to these criticisms Editor Hudson tells
the complaining ones that If they
don’t want their misdeeds published,
"quit your meanness."
The weather has ■ continued Ideal
throughout Chautauqua week. And It.
has been a great week in Albany.
A VITAL QUESTION.,
“We are prating entirely too much
From tho Savannah Fregn.
about the unreal and the unsubstan
tial. The real questions, after all, are
the ones that affect the home and the
children In the home.”
These were the words of the Judge
of the Juvenile court In Denver, re
cently, whose observation has led him
to conclude that bad home surround
ings and lack of proper parental care
cause most of the juvenile criminality.
Sixty-five boyB brought before hltn,
charged with stealing brass from the
railroads, were fatherless through the
desertion of their families by hus-!
bands and fathers. “The old man
skipped out and left ma to take cafe
of us,” was the way these abandoned
children told the story, and It Is no
wonder that, viewing the wretched,)
pitiful array, the Judge declared him
self more Interested in saving those
boys who stole brass from the rail
roads than In regulation of railroad
rates. i
The Incident here cited has been
made the text of some very sensible
remarks by the Albany (N. Y.) Tlmes-
Union. That paper says that In the
absence of home training and proper
care for the child, the school could do
much, "but not the school as at pres
ent constituted." The school. It says,
must educate and train In morals, and
to the end that this may be effectively
done, It contends that the teacher -of
the future must have smaller classes,
and that he or she (preferably she)
must take the place of the bad parent
and manifest a sincere and. active
sympathy in. the child's future wel- :
fare. While a few teachers do this
now as best they can, many have not
the disposition, and if they had the
disposition they laok the necessary
time' and energy,
Our contemporary thinks that jam
ming spelling and arithmetic Into the
head of a bad boy or girl will not
make a good citizen of either, and
argues from the premises that present
methods will not do, and that for Its
own self-protection the state must ed
ucate the heart as well as the mind,
or go on making educated criminals.
The church, too, It says, Is not doing
what It should, and falls to reach the
homes and children that need It most;
and It asks how many Sunday schools
make a business. of bringing under
their Influence the boys of the street
and the girls of wretched homes.
The position of the Tlmes-Unlon, In
fine, seoms to be that the state must
take charge of jhe homes of, the coun
try and devote Itself to their manage
ment, just as It has undertaken eco
nomic questions, and it predicts that
the question embodied In that posi
tion will come to be one of the chief
concerns of politics and real Issues of
government. There Is much good
sense nnd food for valuable reflection
In what It says, but the disposition to
shift from parents to the state or the
city the entire responsibility for the
mental and moral education of chil
dren—to throw everything on ‘‘the
government” — Is one that seems to
need checking rather than encourag
ing. The sense of responsibility on the
part of parents in this matter of the
education of their children should be
increased rather than diminished.
