THE PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE.
President Roosevelt’s message to
the second session of the 57th
congress is noted, among other
things, for its brevity and terseness.
In its introduction the president
culls attention to the peace and
prosperity that is now blessing the
nation, which he declares is being
enjoyed by all the people.
He declares trusts do more good
than harm, and his advice is that
trusts be curbed and controled,
but not destroyed. Reduction of
the tariff would not be a proper
means for the control of monopolies,
since the tariff will aid the lesser
aggregations of capital and protects
it from its more formidable trust
foes. Protective tariff is defended
by the president at length.
He says the time is not arrived
to change the money system.
and sensible document.

An Exchange truly says there
are enough idle, worthless negroes

The legislature passed the fran*
chise tax bill Wednesday by a good
majority. By the operations of
this law, the state will receive into
its treasurey which has heretofore
went into the pockets of rich cor*
porations, a good round sum.
If the democrats in congress can
succeed in bringing the tariff issue
to the front, we may expect some
fun, for the republican leaders are
undoubtedly badly divided on this
question, and the democrats should
take full advantage oi the situation.
The popular sentiment i n oppo

the nomination.

As conclusive evidence of the

. Instead of n rip-snorting, fire-
eating, blood-thirsty document, as
many anticipated, the message was
mild and conservative in tone, and
reads more like an emanation from
the pen of the lamented McKinley
than from the strenuous Roosevelt.
The almost universal belief that
all railroad corporations are heart

For a starter, we would advise
the dear old Sentinel to kill its

The legislature should carefully
consider the suggestion which has
been made relative to raising more
revenue for the state without
increasing the tax rate. By taxing
a lot of concerns in this Mate that
are now paying no taxes, and that
are getting rich by the .privileges
they enjoy, the needed revenue
can be bad.
Georgia is always d laggard/ In
making suitable appropriations
with which to display the resources
of the state at great expositions,
such as will be held in St, Louis
next year. The legislature should
provide for a Georgia exhibit at
St. Louis that Georgians who
attend the fair will not be ashamed
to own.
A certain paper in Georgia gives
as an excuse for cutting down the
lawful rates for legal advertising
its desire to iend a helping hand to
the poor widows and orphans who
have to pay the bills in a majority
of cases. Wonder if that is the
real cause for such action on the
part of this paper.

1 The United States should play'
strictly hands off in the little game
between Venezuela on the one side
and England and Germany on the
other. Heretofore, this little two
by four piece of impudence has, on
various occasions, managed to stir
up the bile of some one of the large
European powers, and then, like a
little lice dog, she makes a break
for cover by demanding protection
of this country ou the grounds of
the Monroe Doctrine. A good,
sound thrashing would learn that
troublesome brat some sense.
