The late Sam Jones created an axiom when he said: Ihe hit d<>g yelps.” Hoke fell through hi' platform. Teh. much weight on the prohibition plank. Yes, Gertrude, the Brown wave is quite warm, but not likely to blight the cotton crop. Whs it the picture of Tom Mat son behind Luckworth's challenge which kept Ifi>ke silent. Joe Brown has explained his at titude toward the prohibition bill to the entire satisfaction of the friends of the measure. Of course this does not include The Atlanta Journal. The Sundersville Herald says, “Joe Brown’s opposition is making a Ldter governor of Hoke Smith already." Probably the governor has a substitute in charge. Hoke seems to have pressing personal en gagements which require all of his attention at present. Ordinary .1. X. Boas showed up in Winder Wednesday with a copy of Tom Watson's Jeffersonian in his pocket. He made slight apology stating that in former years he felt that Watson literature might he classed with deceptive sheets, hut i>w he can say with others “the end justifies the means." “Joe {frown's oldest son was not in the lemon-handing at Marietta. The hoy is attending sehool in Ath ens," says The Rome Tribune Her ald. Mr. Brumby eonneeted the l*oy with the affair. If our memory doesn't fail us a Mr. Brumby mar ried a lady who's papa is greatly interested in the Atlanta Journal. A short while ago Tin* Atlanta Journal practically said Hoke Smith could go to the I'nited States Senate merely for tin* asking. He could have lwen elected governor with hands down without tin* as sistance of the Populists. The idea of “Little Joe" Brown entering the race gave* lloke and 11a; Journal the merry ha, ha's!

There is ahsolutelv no alternative view, considering his vigorously reiterated opinions regarding the responsibility of the chief executive for the actions of his subordinates, and his apparent falling into lint* on the immigration question with his followers throughout Georgia.

The first essen tial of state administration is that each suliordinate department snail be in entire sympaty with the ex ecutive head. It is unthinkable that a man so radically opposed to the views held by myself on public issues as Mr. Br-iwu, should remain in office. I would be derelict in my ofiie’al Gu f y, therefore, if I did not ren t ve him fn.m office.’ ’ Ami he did! W'Ti lie now remove what, v-r railroad commissioner it was so “out of sympathy with my views" to authorizing fr<‘e transportation to an immigration dgi nt, or was the governor only “playing policies" with trie farmers of Georgia when he dropped his pet scheme to bring alien laborers to Georgia to compete with local labor and cheapen the price of cotton? The whole thing liears every evi dence of a scheme to deceive and hoodwink the farmers of Georgia. It was political treachery of the worst sort. Will he “summarily” remove whoever it was on the commission that was so afraid of the light of day on the immigration issue that Iritis lonely exception to the anti pass law was not made public until nearly a month after its occurance? —and then, only after its discovery by outsiders! If the governor knew about the order, and he declares the first duty of an executive is to he in perfect touch with his departments, then he is in sympathy with a plan to promote in secret a movement he lias ceased to advocate in public. If he iliil not know about the or der, and is opposed to state aid for immigration, then his cwurse to the insubordinate commissioner is plain.

PRESS COMMENT ON RACE FOR GOVERNOR In 1 1 is opening speech nt Madison two years ago (iovernor Hoke Smith said he was in favor of squeezing out capital. lie has made good in that respect.—Sylvania Herald. One Hoke organette remarks that Hoke hasn't done any more than he promised. Tom Watson comes mighty near proving that he hasn't done anything he promised. —Nash - ville Herald. The Atlanta .Journal'* cartoon, dragging Col. Janies M. Smith from private life and representing him as ‘‘Buster Brown’s" dog, "Tigc," in this tight for the governorship, is Inith unjust and uncalled for. Besides its mighty poor political policy. —The Madison Advertiser. An Atlanta man said he was sit ing in a street car on the day Brown announced and remarked. W hat a joke." A friend sitting beside him said, “If you think so,poll the ear." He did so and found he was the only Smith man on it. —Dublin Courier Dispatch. The saving that wise men change their minds is a very time one. Dur ing the last campaign (iovernor Smith was for reform, hut when he got in office he touched the wrong button. He was for foreign immi gration, no exceptions whatever* Now lie wants only rich immigrants, lb-stood for local option.

Hoke says he voted the dry ticket in 18(Sd. That was when the “drys” were on top and won out in Atlanta. In 1887, when the tide turned, all of the evidence goes to show that IToke was true to his nature and turned with it. He voted “wet’, that year. — Times. (iovernor Smith is only paving the way to give every old soldier in the states a good pension. Note our statements, you old soldiers whom they sought to deceive recently. Hoke is your best friend. We know whereof we speak. —The Yidalia Advance. Because the railroads have !cen so influential that the piesent ad ministration has not entirely suc ceeded in making the railroads Con form in every respect, to the wished of the people, is pool* reason why the job should he turned over to a man who has spent a life working for and viewing issues from the viewpoint of the railroads. —Butts County ITogcss. A man, who can’t take care of his own money, is a poor fellow to 1m- in charge of somebody else s money. Joe Brown is said to have been turned <%t of tin- management of his'father’s estate, by his own brothers and sisters, hi-cause he had squandered large quantities of tlu-ir money. Who wants him in charge of four or five millions of the state’s fund? Bless your soul, the veterans will do well to get any pension at> all, if Joe Brown is elected governor. —Sparta Ishmat-lite.
