8ATURDAY, JUNE 23, 1906.
Ton pages again today, Paulino.
And so It Is to be a lock canal. Now
dig!
The Smlth-Howell joint debate was
soheduled to begin at 1 o’clock this af
ternoon. As each speaker Is to have
an hour and a half the scrap will not
be over until after 4 o’clock,
‘ This Is the day on which a vast
Quantity of political wind and great
batches of political hair are to bo set
adrift In tho city of Rome. Next com
bat at Albany, On., soma time In July.
Having declared for Taft for the
Republican presidential nomination In
1908, we find ourselves wondering
how in the world Mr. Roosevelt will
ever'succeed In squaring himself with
Lennlc Wood.
Hoke ought to have known that
Warner Hill was loaded, but ho prob
ably either forgot about tho ammuni
tion that Hatnp McWhorter hud, or
presumed that ho would grlu and bear
more than could bo expected of most
men.
Autocracy’s only hope In Russia Is
to crush the Tloumn, and the army Is
the only available crusher. But the
army may refuse to work nt tho criti
cal moment, and for that reason au-
tqcrac.v in the great .white empire Is
not having the very best of times.
It Is nil right for Tom Watson to
come back into the Democratic party
If he wants to and Is prepared to
pledge allegiance to It and to support
its nominees. For one we would bo
glad to see Mr. Watson back In the
Democratic party, but wo don’t think
the reins land whip ought to be turned
over to him as soon as he mounts the
Democratic band-wagon—or even be-
forr-, as some seem to be wanting to
do.
There comes from the White House
a definite story to the effect that the
President has declared tor Taft as the
most available man to oppose William
J. Bryan in 190S. That Mr. Bryan will
be nominated by the Democratic party
the President seems to accept as a
foregone conclusion, and he believes
that Taft is the-only man the Repub
lican party has who can overcome the
Nebraskan’s vastly increased popular
ity. Just what Messrs. Root, Fair
banks, Shaw et al. may think of this
partisan stand of the head of the of
ficial Republican family may be read
ily guessed, and another cabinet resig
nation or two in the course of the
next year and a halt would surprise
no one.
THE CRANKY KAN8AN8.
The Philadelphia Record finds that
Kansas gives evidence of being the
same Bort of an asylum for cranks
that it was when It produced the
Populist party and shrieked that the
money power was crushing It. Then
the length of the beard was the out
ward and visible sign of Its inward
dementia. Now tho length of the shirt
promises to servo the same purpose.
A farm paper in the Sunllower State
is nppeallg to the farmers to organize
themselves into a society pledged to
increase the length of shirts. An ad
ditional inch on every shirt would ab
sorb the surplus cotton and sustain
prlcos.
In further discussion of this latost
Kansas idea, the Record Bays: "We
should like to know when Kansas be
came n cotton-producing state, and
what Interest the Kansans have In
buying more cotton from Arkansas
than Is necessary. If the Kansas po
litical economists would use cotton
to stuff tlielr heads with they would
do just as much to absorb the surplus,
and they would gratify Nature, which
abhors a vacuum."
OUR GARRULOUS PRESIDENT.
We agree with the Philadelphia Rec
ord that It Is better that Congress
should pay the traveling expenses of
the President than that tho railroad
companies should.
Congress, in voting $25,000 a year
for tho traveling expenses of tho
President, wub no doubt nctuated by
the same principle that was applied
to tho meat Inspection bill In provid
ing that the cost of Inspection should
bo borne by the government Instead
of by tho packers—tho prevailing idea
boing that the Inspection was wanted
for the government and for the benefit
of the public, and not for the packers.
Tho present President of the United
Stntos must travel—and talk, He Is
built that way, and since he must
travel It Is bettor that he should travel
nt tho expense of the government than
at the oxpenso of the railroads. No
reasonable person, therefore, who un
derstands tho Inability of the Presi
dent to keep from talking, and who
realizes Ills keen delight/ lit* being
grooted by throngs of people and re
ception committees, who assure him
that he is tho greatest President since
Washington, will grudge the $25,000
the House has voted to defray his
traveling oxpenses.
Washington, It must bo remem
bered, does not afford opportunities
onough for speech-making to reliovo
so strenuous a personage as tho pres
ent occupant of the White House of
the accumulation that overloads Ills
system, and, moreover, It affords very
few opportunities for hailing him as
the greatest ever. Ho must travel
and talk and listen to hurrahs.
A few naval yachts may be well
onougli In tlielr way, but the Presi
dent must invnde the interior and
speak to the great masses who hall
him gladly.
ONLY HERSELF TO BLAME.
The Washington Post delivers a
timely rebuke to the South In the fol
lowing:
’If at any time Southern towns, cit
ies and communities have suffered
oitlier In their stomachs or tlielr poclc-
etc, because of tile high price or the un
wholesome character of Chicago meat
products, they hnvo only themselves to
blame. There .has never been the
slightest reason why they should not
feed themselves from their own herds,
flocks, fields, dairies and -barnyards.
The South is rich in farming and graz
ing lauds, and tho inhabitants thereof
can raise beef cattle, sheep, hogs, poul
try and vegetables of the very finest
quality and In unlimited quantity If
they choose. Why need they go to
Chicago, Kansas City, Omaha or any
other distant market for food which
they can produce themselves? And if
they persist in a policy so unnecessary
and so improvident they might have
the grace to realize that it is their
fault and retrain from condemnation
of others. The pastures of the South
can turn out as good beef and mutton
ns the stockyards of Chicago can.
Southern farms are capable of furnish
ing as high class butter, milk, eggs,
etc., or any farm In Iowa or Kansas.”
Hon. Wm. H. Fleming, of Augusta,
addressed the alumni of the State Uni
versity at Athens the other day, and
took occasion to discuss the disfran
chisement issue. Mr. Fleming’s views
on disfranchisement are at variance
with those that are being urged at
this time by Hon. Thomas E. Watson
and Candidate Hoke Smith, and for
• ' if: \
that reason the Atlanta Journal criti
cises him severely for discussing the
subject In his Athens address. Has
-i coiue to puss i hat when a man In
Georgia wauu to deliver a public ad-
Hese oo any occasion he must first
-dou.-it tils speech to the Journal for
approval?
Senator Bailey's objefctlon to In
creasing the pay of naval chaplains
on the ground that they do less work
than 98 per cent, of the ministers
outside of the servlco and get better
pay already, recalls the dispute be
tween two blue Jackets as to who
had the easiest job on a man-of-war.
One said It was the chaplain, because
he had nothing to do. The other In
sisted that It was the captain of ma
rines, because ho had nothing to do
and he had a first lieutenant to help
him do It.
Editor Charles R. Pendleton and
Editor John Temple Graves are vigor
ously engaged in submitting each
other’s Democracy to exhaustive po
litical analysis. Such a proceeding Is
decidedly more entertaining to those
who are not Democrats than to those
who are, anil coming at a tlmp when
the prospects are brighter than for
many years for a complete reunion of
all factions of the party, Is to be re
gretted. Tlielr mutual friends hope
that the Atlanta editor and the Macon
editor will abandon personalities be
fore permanent damage Is done.

Something New In Life Insurance,
In addition to carrying your policy
from the 10th to the 20th year for 5
per cent: of the premium, and It you
die in that period no charge Is made
against your policy, you can, by pay
ing 50 cents extra for each $1,000, be
Insured against total or permanent dis
ability from accident or disease, pre
miums cense and the policy is fully
paid up, thus covering two risks for
one premium. Come and see me.

DOESN’T WANT THE JOINT
DEBATE DISCOURAGED.
Editor Herald:
Please, sir, don’t try to discourage
the holding of the Smlth-Howell debate
In Albany. We want all the big public
gatherings that we can get so that all
the people may learn to look to AL
bany aB the hub of Southwest Georgia.
Albany Is big enough to digest any
kind of a gathering, and who cares for
a little feeling that the joint dispute
may stir up? The American people
are noted for the ease with which they
subside after becoming enthusiastic
about politics, and we venture the as
sertion that you can hardly find on the
day after the nomination a man who
was for either of tho unsuccessful can
didates. Let us have the “dispute” by
all means, because such things keep
us anticipating, keep us from stagnat
ing, and besides bring the people with
their dollars, and they are the main
thing to be considered in the growth
of a city. Let us pattern after Atlanta
and assume the motto that “all Is grist
that comes to our mill.?
Very truly,
EDWIN RUTHVEN.
