' New York has long hail a law re
quiring candidates to report their
campaign expenses, hut as they gave
' most of their money to political com
mittees the disclosures were unimpor

mittees to report the names of con
tributors and the amounts contributed,
and another law enumerating the ex
penses which a candidate may incur,
"if this reform movement shall con

From the Macon Telegraph.
Wo have been wondering all along
where the political editor of the At
lanta Journal got so much “warm
baby” for Its attacks on the Demo
cratic party.
An incidental allusion to “The Peo
ple’s Party Handbook,” Thomas Wat
son, author, by a correspondent of the
Tom Watson Magazine, brought the
whole thing out; that is, it brought
from the cobwebs on a forgotten shelf
the “Handbook,” and there you are—

Wonder which ono of tho guberna
torial candlfiates Is to blamo for this
unsoaBonnble May weather?
A BASE CALUMNIATOR.
A scientific crank with nothing else
In particular to do has been entertain
ing himBetf at the expense of unscien
tific mankind by Issuing bulletins in
tended to 'prove that strawberries
breed insanity.
He avers that during the season
when strawberries adorn the fruit
stands and appear at the dinner tables
of the high, low and mediocre of the
land, mental disorders run riot in the
human family; that as the result of
this distressing epidemic, crimes mul
tiply, sanitariums overflow and insane
asylums are taxed almost beyond their
capacity.
Here is a theory worthy of rank be
side that which holds that the moon
Is made of green cheese. Other fruits
have claimed their victims for genera
tlons—the half-ripe peach, the green
plum, the stony pear, the apple, the
scuppernong, the persimmon—but hero
is the first Ingrate to point the finger
of dark suspicion at the most delicate
and delectable of all fruits, thq straw
berry.
It comes to us early in the season,
at a time when our systems, so long
deprived of the nourishment of fresh
products of the garden and orchard,
crave the delicate acid stored within
its crimson walls. It fills the inner
man with joy, and gives to his digest
ive apparatus its first reinforcement
over against the approaching conflict
with summer Hie. Green strawberries
are impossible things, for green per
simmons are not more unsociable, but
when ripe every one is a wonderful
storehouse of rejuvenating luscious-
ness.
Avaunt, base helittler of the ruby
queen of the garden! Thou canst no
more bring- into question its pre-emi
nence than thou canst “pluck the
beauty from the sun dr with polluted
finger tarnish it."

This Is Jim Griggs day In Albany.

THE BIG STICK INTIMIDATED.
Tho Philadelphia Record tells how,
when President Roosevelt, gave a hint
that he would he constrained to apply
his Big Stick to some of the Innumer
able pension bills, the sturdy Senator
from North Dakota, McCumber, callod
his attontton to the long array <!f
Brlgniller-Generals and Admirals on
the retired list. Tills abuse hns never
been so rampant—not even after the
civil war—as under this administra
tion. Many officers In the army and
navy have been pushed forward with
out merit to the rank of Brigadier and
Admiral, and then retired for no other
purpose than to make way for ad
vancement. of fnvorit.es of the Presi
dent or of Ills official family. When
Senator McCumber reminded the
President of this scandal his attack
on the pension hills was discreetly
droppod.
. fclark Howell spoke in tho Bod'd old
South Georgia Democrat lc county of
Lowndes yesterday, and the reports
of ilia speecli Indicate that lie dwelt
at some length upon Holm Smith's
present, platform as compared with tils
past record.
. One of the hardest problems of the
“stand-patters" is how to get full re
turn cargoes for tho subsidized ships
which are to carry away the enormous
surplus of the country’s agricultural
and manufacturing products. Accord!
ing to tho official figures the excess of
last year's exports over imports
amounted to upward of a half billion
dollars in value. So long as the high
tariff exists the enterprise of the smug
gler must he depended on to reduce
the enormous margin between exports
and imports.
Although the Atlanta papers are still
trying to hold up the proposed big ex
position In ,1910 as soipothtng "certala”
and ail enterprise already "assured,"-it
is evident that the movement Is about
to tall down. As the result of two mass
meetings and systematic work oil
the part of committees representing
practically every Industry and class of
business in Atlanta, only about §300,-
000 lias la-on subscribed to the fund
of §500,000 that is conceded to he
necessary to launch the big enterprise.
Chairman Maddox, of the Committee
of Twenty-live which was given the
task of raising the necessary fund, ill
an interview published yesterday after
noon’clearly Indicates that lie has been
greatly disapppolnted, if not discour
aged. And when ono comes to think
about It, tt must be admitted that
§500,000 is a whole tot of money to
raise by popular subscription for a
community enterprise, even in such a
city as Atlanta.
