Hfck-.-:. — THE ESSENCE OF THE RATE BILL. The average citizen, Including the major portion of those who "pay-the freight," will never become familiar with the provisions, In detail, of the railroad rate bill which passed the Senate on Friday last, even If It should be accepted by the House ‘with all of tho Senate amendments, and become a law. The bill Is so lengthy and full of Intricate points thqt the average citizen will leave Its Interpretation to the railroad men and tho lawyers and the courts. The chief provision of the rate bill —wo may say the essence of It—con- Herald In Its editorial'of Friday, pity is that their number is greater.

TUE8DAY, MAY 22, 1906. ‘ In addition to being the commercial metropolis of Southwest Georgia; Al bany soems to hnve. become a sort of Weather storm center. to fix railroad freight charges and to enforce their execution If the courts do not decide that they are unreaeon- able and unjuet. At present the Commission Is noth ing more than an advisory board, with out power to fix rates. In the long debate in tho Senate the controversy turned on tho question whether the circuit courts of the United States should be prevented from Issuing tern porary Injunctions nnd thus holding up the ordors' of the Commission until final decision by the Supremo Court.. The Allison amendment not merely loaves the revisory powers of the cir cuit courts over tho rates of the Com. mission Intact, but expressly and dis tinctly affirms them, as woll as the manner of their oxorpise. Tho Allison amendment Is regarded as a substantial triumph of the con servative sentiment of the country In favor of tho maintenance of the just authority of the courts as ordained by the framers of the Constitution. From our humblo point, of view, the most suspicious tiling that can be seen In connection with the consideration of tho bill Is that such eminent railroad champions ns Senators Aldrich and Elkins gave It tlielr hearty support.

In tlielr zonl to elect, Hoko Smith governor, even at the cost of defying and ruthlessly running over tho Demo cratic party organization of the Btato, ' there are some chronic ofilco holders n.

A press dispatch In the morning pa. pjers tells us that H. P. J. Richard,' n Memphis man, disappointed because his wife would not attend Sunday’: til game, seized a bottle of morphine and drunk n largo qimntley of tho drug. vA quick run of tho ambulance saved tls life. Richard was taken to the dty hospital and the poison was i>ijmped out of his stomach. This Is one instance In which medical skill the modern appliances of tho pro* ifclon were used successfully and yet o good purpose. The fool in this >vho sought to kill himself ought s have been permitted to die. such II Is dispiriting to ho Informed on high authority us that of Rear- uilrnl Mason, chief of tho Bureau of inance, that, "shojuld war break out lu the next few years the condi- of the navy will be such as to load I'disaster.” We have battleships, but short of gnus, and the guns wo ; aro short of ammunition. Worse 1, we are short of men. We have battleships than wo can keep in ission, and the cry of the Im itate Is still for more.

Judge Frank Park, chairman of tho Democratic Executive Committee Worth county, lms officially notified tho respective chntrmon of the Demo cratic committees of Dougherty and Lee of tho Choice, of Dr. Sikes by the Democrats of Worth, nnd his nnmo will therefore go on tho Democratic ticket for State Senator In the regular elec tion In October. Dr. Sikes lias long been u leading man In the affairs of Worth county, and he represents the progressive ele ment. of the county—a county that has shown ns much moral and material progress as-any county In Georgia dur ing the past twenty years.

V AN UNQUALIFIED ENDORSEMENT* III The Herald of lust Friday the fact was discussed editorially that while the average white man will “work harder for moro money, the average negro will work less.” Tho subject was presented as one affording a satis factory explanation of much of tho trouble the South Is experiencing with labor. This brief reference will enable any who may have failed to read the edi torial in question to understand the following letter: “Albany, Ua., May 21, 1906. “Editor Albany Herald: "Please allow me to say that you have made another good score in your editorial of Friday, entitled ‘Negroes and Work.’ It points out existing con ditions exactly, and it is good that something is to be done. “Yours truly, “F.
