John Eagan has been elected the
head of the Inter-Racial League and
has a negro preacher as a vice presi
dent. Eagan is also head of the
Municipal League of Georgia. That
is all.
Senator Jim Reed seems to have a
few scraps now and then. Well, if
some senator knocks old Jim's head
off, we will promise not to shed a
tear. He is our idea of a most pluper

ever existed. Outside of that he may
be all right.

IT IS TO LAUGH
If it was not laughable it would be
downright siliy. Some smart alecks
have been running around Bainbridge
telling that the editor of this paper
has been in Atlanta trying to have
some effect on local legislation. We
do not know where this lie came from,
but it is about like many other lies
that have been told on him. The duly
accredited legislators and senator will
look after all local legislation without
any suggestions from the writer of

The three reasons that the Water
Power bills were so badly beaten is
because first, they don’t amount to
hand in local matters. We have too
much respect for the honesty of your
local representatives and senator than
to try and butt in on their business.
If you want to lie just for the fun
of the thing, just go ahead and do so,
but don’t try to make it appear that
we are meddling with the business of
men that have been elected to look
after it. Scores of men have ap
proached us on the matter to our ut
ter astonishment. We thought that
any man that had sense enough to try
and talk city politics would know bet

Rotten campaign thunder, we must
say. Get something better if you
want to involve us in it.

RETURN TO REASON
The Constitutional Amendment
Committee of the House of Represen
tatives on Wednesday evening last
gave the first evidences of the return
to reason that is now in vogue the
State over, that we have been seen.
These Municipal League bills that
have been hoisted on the people of the
State by just three men, were turned
down by an overwhelming vote of
30 to 1. The other bill was beaten
42 to 7. It is one of the greatest
things that this committee will do as
long as it holds. They may hold five
years, but they will never help Geor
gia any more, as they did on this oc
casion. The State will be helped by
the knowledge sent abroad that corp
oration baiting is not any more a
over rates from Mississippi river
crossing points, points in Virginia, the i
Eastern Seaboard and from South At-S
lantic ports into the territory, and i
these were discussed from many an- [
gles at the meeting here. The “long |
and short haul” and many technical
matters entered into the problem, j
The commission recently recom- 1
mended a schedule of rates both on
Northbound and Southbound freight 1
with the proviso that the two sides j
agree on them before they went into j
effect. The roads had no objection to
the Northbound rates, but contended
that the proposed readjustment of
rates into this territory would cut too
deeply into their revenues.

The kindergarten hill in the legis
lature ought to be beaten to a fraz
zle. It is nothing but a bill to pro
vide a nursery for kids of town wo
men so they can go to their heart’s
content. The idea of taxing the peo
ple of the State for this purpose, is
a shame and an outrage. No country
woman will get a single aid from
it and society town women will have
’a gravy train. Don’t have to even
keep up with her own kids and can
spend all her time gossiping or play
ing cards. Six years is young enough
to put a child in any kind of a school
and to have the State go into the
nursery business is shameful. Will
isms never stop at all?

platform for a cheap set of politicians. ‘ the last drop.
This fact going out to the world that
our State and its lawmakers will look
carefully into the merits of any prop
osition now before hoisting it on the
people. This action shows that a few
men can no longer hope to further
wild schemes by figuring that our
people are ready to choke down indus
try at the cry of “Wolf” by any kind
of an element. Jackson, Key and
Eagan have thought that because in
the past some folks have been led into
wild dreams by fanataical reasoning,
they could build up a monster political
corporation that will overshadow any
corporation existent. Georgia owes
much to this committee and as time
goes on this will be more apparent.

If the legislature does not put
through or discuss Hardwick’s plan,
he will do the right thing to call them
right back and make them do it. Un
der the law the governor can desig
nate what they shall handle in an ex
tra session, while he can not in a
regular session. If they won’t give
the governor a chance he has guts
enough to take it and we don’t blame
him for it. He is expected to do some
thing and he must be given that
chance.

It is amusing to watch the Atlanta
papers trying to hoist their isms on
the people of Georgia. They seem to
forget that there is brains outside of
Fulton county and so many of them
that Randolph Hearst’s policies of
destruction can not be forced on them
Their gods are not the gods, of tin
gods of the common people of this
State by a long shot. The Georgia
Cracker is a safe and sane institu
tion, not ruled by prejudice, their only
method of procedure along public
lines.

If the Atlanta real estate men and
business men generally had any
gumption they would spend a half
million dollars or get rid of Jim Key
as mayor of that city. Real estate
and other business would seek the
city so much quicker after that is done
they can actually spend the money
and make a great saving. Every
paper in that town knows good and
well that Jim Key is a detriment and
a hold hack and there is not a single
one that has guts enough to say so.
When the city of Atlanta rids herself
of this man, she will come into her
own and not until then. In the
memory of man no mountebank evei
succeeded at anything, let alone run
ning a city.
