‘Governor Hardwick has commut-
ted the sentence of Glenn Hudson,the
South Georgia farmer who murdered
his two step-children, and he will not
be hanged but will go to the chain-
gang for life—unless some Governor
like Hardwick encourages lynch law
by pardoning him,” says the Cedar
town Standard.
Well, of course, that's more a poli
tical utterance than a deliverance of
calm opinion; hence to be taken with
a grain of salt. The Standard is
rather bitterly opposing Hardwick’s
re-election.
What is a Governor to do, when
the Prison Commission unanimously
recommends a commutation; when
thousands of good citizens of the
the community directly concerned
indorse it; when high officials and his
own conscience approve it— and
when conviction was had entirely up
on circumstantial evidence, too?
The Governor has had far, far
more letters and telegrams approv
ing that commutaton of sentence
than The Standard possibly suspects
—or would llko to believe.—Atlanta
Georgian.
Having been thus gently slapped
upon the wrist by our good friend,
Jim Nevin, In his ulways interesting
"Sidelights on Georgia Politics,” it
may be that we ought to go 'wuy
back and sit down and take back
what we said,—
But we don’t!
We will not go into detail here as
to our reasons for opposing Thos. W.
Hardwick for Governor or anything
Use. He started public life with our
sincero admiration, for he is a man of
brilliant intellect and could have
made one of the most useful men
Georgia has ever had. When he was
sent to Washington, however, he be
came the scrvnnt of the Trusts in
stead of tho people and developed a
type of personal character that does
not appeal to us. We do not consider
him worthy of the confidence of the
people of the great State of Georgia.
We arc frank to say that we were
opposed to his having any opposition
for re-election, because we felt that
Georgians generally would be even
more thoroughly "out” with him at
the end of two more years than they
are now, but since a clean, honest
man like Cliff Walker has entered
the race against him, we are not go
ing to let a matter of political exped
iency govern us and so arc giving Mr.
Walker our best support.
So much for the political reference,
and now for the Hudson case.
“What is a Governor to do?” asks
Mr. Novin. Tho only answer, of
course, is: Do what ho thinks is
right, regardless of consequences.
The point, we were making—and
which we wish to make still more
emphatic—is that the practice of the
Governor nnd the Prison Commission
to set themselves up as a Super-Su
preme Court and Interfere with tho
verdicts of tho courts, is an incentive
to lynch law. If newly discovered
evidence is found, the laws of Geor
gia put these officials in a position to
save an innocent person from un
just punishment. They evidently have
the power to review evidence in any
case, for they arc doing so right a-
long, but we insist that those are
times when the strong arm of the
law should be upheld instead of
weakened.
Any good lawyer will tell you that
circumstantial evidence is often as
trustworthy as direct evidence —
sometimes more so, for it is not of
ten that two people who sec the some
thing will agree on every detail.
As to petitions, any fairly popular
man can take a paper around and
have it signed by practically every
body, regardless of what it contains.
Friend Nevin has heard, of course, of
the petition everyone signed asking
that one of a town's best citizens be
hung.
There is a general feeling in Geor
gia that if a criminal can only savehis
neck, he isn’t going to stay long in
the chaingang or fare very hard at
the State Farm if he hns money or
friends, and we insist that the prac
tice of the Governor and his asso
ciates in modifying court sentences
is an encouragement to lynch law.
There are people in Georgia whowant
to see crimes adequately punished
and who do not see much prospect in
any other way. Being profoundly op
posed to lynch law, we do not like to
see the Governor meddle with such
cases as that of Glenn Hudson.
We have never been a strong ad
vocate of capital punishment, and
sometimes feel that we would like to
see the law repealed. In these times,
however, when so many men arc
holding human life so cheap, and
when nothing but fear for their own
lives restrains them from crime, we
believe capital punishment has a very
important place, and we have less
and less sympathy for the mawkish
sentimentality that would apparently
transform dangerous criminals into
gsrlrr.Jcd he-ies

Last spring this strenk was mighty
wet—
About as much ns it could get,—
And now you sec with hnlf an eye
It's been every single bit as dry.
Hardwick’s been this side and that
On the subject of the dipping vat,
And on the 13th in he’ll fall—
'Twill even swallow up his gall!
Out in Texas the Ku Klux Klan
Beat the “beer nnd light wine” man;
They’re not afraid of the whitc-rober
Just ns long as he’ll stay sober.
Here is something we don’t like:
Henry Ford is going on strike;
Says high price of coal and steel
Will not let him turn a wheel,
And his mighty sudden jerk
Puts many thousands out of work;
Other folks would like to quit.
But have to keep on doing their bit.
Ho! Ye town and country folk.
Hear this truth as it is spoke:
'Tis well for you in mind to bear *
That we’re to have a County Fair.
Let’s bring our best—let people know
We’ve something really good to
show.
Let’s see the flag of victory waves
Above the head of President Graves.
A Vicious Plot.
As readers of The Standard know,
we have never been ablo to believe
otherwise than that big financial in
terests and some high labor represen
tatives arc trying to force govern
ment ownership of railroads with the
pleasant rook party Friday in honjr
expense of the people.
And now comes Henry Ford, whose
big plant is about to shut down for
lock of coal as a result of the strikes,
who says it is "a plot to unload the
demoralized and run down railroads
onto the government at their own
price and to mulct the people through
excessive coul prices.”
The people will not always be
blind—but will they wako up in
time?
Maj. McGregor, who has been Tom
Watson’s "right bower” for many
years, received a message from the
Senator last week stating that “Hard
wick has broken every promise he
ever made me.”
There are a few newspapers in
Georgia that let Tom Watson dictate
their politics absolutely. They are
’agin” anything that he is “fer.”
And yet they ridicule those who fol
low his leadership! Funny, isn't it?
In the run-over primary for United
States Senator in Texas, Mayfield
wins as the “Ku Klux kandidate” ov
er Ferguson, the advocate of beer
and light wine. The Klan candidates
for other offices tailed the list, how
ever.
Following the sudden death of Ar
thur Griffith, the slaying of Michael
Collins by Irish revolutionists "is a
terrible blow to the Emerald Isle.
They were her two leading patriots
and statesmen of present period, and
their death is not merely a loss to
Ireland but to the world. Their
death may easily mean that Great
Britain will have to devote her atten
tion to Ireland instead of European
affairs, which will give France an op
portunity to do as she wishes with
Germany, and this would change the
v,-orld’s history for years to come.
Pull for Cedartown —and if you
can’t pull, push!
Get ready for the County Fair.
Let country and town unite in mak
ing the 1922 Fair the best in Polk’s
history.
Hon. John W. Lindsey, a popular
Confederate veteran who held the
office of State Pensioner Commis
sioner, died Saturday.
Before we talk about searching
British vessels for imported booze,we
had better search our own. It would
be far more sensible as a prohibition
measure and as a matter of inter
national relationship.
Diphtheria is of an unusually mal
ignant type this year. If any throat
trouble appears in your family, play
safe and see your doctor at once.
And, also to be on the safe side, clenn
up your premises at once.
We have two next-door neighbors
running for State House offices in the
primary Sept. 13th— Hon. M. L.
Johnson, of Bartow, for Railroad
Commissioner, and Judge Harper
Hamilton, of Floyd, for Judge of the
Court of Appeals. Let us all vote
for both of them.
You remember, of course, how the
Government was criticized during the
Wilson administration for trying to
break up the gangs of conspirators
who were plotting wholesale murder
in order to bring about anarchy in
this country. Now that President
Harding’s administration is being
forced to do the same thing, it is all
right—equally of course.
Judge J. L. Tison last week gave
G. W. Giffin, a labor agent who un
dertook to operate here without a
license, six months at the State
Farm.
Hardwick After Harris
lack of coal as a result of the strikes,
Senator Harris by certain Georgia
newspapers who are supporting Gov
ernor Hardwick for re-election at this
time, it is difficult to figure out
whether this Hardwick noise is anti-
Watson or anti-Harris.
It seems to be hard for some to
conceal their ambitions, even when
they must know that the political ef
fect will be adverse. A blind man
can see the trend, and those who are
numbered among the thousands of
friends of Senator “Bill”'Harris will
not be slow in resenting these attacks
Some of the most ardent of the
Hardwick newspapers are more un
kindly toward Senator Harris than
Senator Watson, although they are
claiming that Watson iB backing
Hardwick's opponent for Governor.
They appear to bo confused some
what as to whether Mr. Walker or
Mr. Harris is running against the
Governor.
The gubernatorial race is the only
one before the people of Georgia at
this time. It will be two more years
before a Senatorial campaign, and
this anti-Harris movement on part of
the Hardwick organs will not do the
Governor any good.
It has been known for some time
that Mr. Hardwick had hiB eyes on
the Senate, and that hla ambition was
to go back to that high position over
the head of the man who defeated
him. Isn’t this the program?
Then, after all, is it Mr. Harris—
and not Mr. Watson—whom Hard
wick forces are really after? Thin
is perhaps an embarrassing question,
but The Ledger asks it in behalf of
large numbers of the friends of Sen
ator Harris who stand ready to sup
port the Governor on his law-enforce
ment stand.
Let's see just where we are at. We
realize we are in a political mesa
here in Georgia, but let’s have a little
more light.—Columbus Ledger.
Good for Brownings.
Work is about to begin on a mod-
em school house in Brownings dis
trict, with provision for four teach
ers. It will be built on the most ap
proved plan for rural scools, and
Brownings is to be congratulated on
this evidence of progress.
Reunion Called Off.
The state reunion of Confederate
Veterans, which was scheduled to be
held Sept. 20th-21st in Rome, has
been called off because of the rail
strike. It may possibly be held next
spring.
