”A MAN MAY EE DOWN, BET HE’S NEVER CUT,” There was a time when Thomas Smith, better known to New York police as “Tanner” Smith, was a notorious gunman and let! a gang of thugs. That was only five years ago. The other day Thomas Smith was buried. His funeral was that of a respected and much beloved man. Two large auto trucks were tilled with floral offerings, the streets were lined by triends and mourners, none more sincere than the police who were his former enemies. Smith’s career is a remarkable instance of a man who redeemed himself and extended a helping hand to others. Penniless and dis credited, ~ i+ h an unsavory police record, he made up his mind to “go straight.” When he died he was a boss stevedore, the head of a large and prosperous business, and left a fortune estimated at SIOO,OOO. To the young men of his neigh borhood the former gunman was the loyal friend and benefactor. He established a club where they could meet away from the demor alizing influences of the tender loin. it is said that he got jobs for hundreds of them and put them on their feel again after they had started on a career that leads to Sing Sing. He believed in giving the weak and erring another chance.

Editor Constitution: The action of the legislature on the Barrett- Covington resolution to inquire into the inner circle of the depart ment of agriculture is to be regret ted. hTe resolution should have gone through without a dissenting vote. The commissioner himself made a mess of his defense, as in deed all officials do when they try to escape the searching light of publicity. At one time, not to far hack to he recalled by those of good memory, Mr. J. Brown was one of the state’s shining apo tles of rigid publicity of the offi cial conduct of the servants of the ‘peepulthis was before his-elee tion to office, as one might expect. The commissioner of agriculture has violated the letter and spirit of the laws controlling his depart ment : lie has been guilty of the identical charges be brought against his predecessor and the people do not forget the long-win dedness of Brown’s stump speech es against dim Price, in bis several attempts to land a statehouse job. This was before Brown succeeded in raising his salary from $3,000 to $5,000 per year, as one might ex it'd- -w. * *■- The law nowhere authorizes the commissioner of agriculture to ap point as many as 400 employees for the various bureaus of his de partment. Nevertheless Brown ap pointed that many; they are on the payroll, and when two faithful representatives like Barrett and Covington attempt to investigate why ho violated the law, the ofr mer apostle of investigation is in dignarit and uses the short and ugly word on Representative Johnson, of Bartow. 1 TTnow Messrs. Barrett, Covington and Johnson to be men of absolute in tegrity of purpose. Mr. Barrett is lion. Charles S. Barnett’s brother, and the farmer has not had a truer friend Ilian (\ S. Barrett; Judge | \Y. A. Covington, Colquitt’s rep re- xentative, is as dean as a hound’s tooth, and Mr. Johnson, Bartow’s member, has long identified him self with progressive agriculture. Mr. .}. J. Brown will not make any thing by his attack on the motives of these disinterested legislators— disinterested except in so far as their public duty demands their prejudice in the public favor. When did J. .7, Brown change liis attitude in reference to investiga tion? I remind your l eaders of his assistance with Commissioner Tom Hudson’s crucifixion. He made speeches, long and loucl ones, against Jim Price for favoring, as Brown alleged, the fertilizer trust, while at the same time Brown drew a salary from a big guano es tablishment. Will Brown tell us if be still has bis name on the pay roe! of ltis former employer? Commissioner Brown’s defense to the inquiry attempt is based on the ground that his is the only de partment sought to ie investigat ed. This is exactly as it should be, because nobody has alleged any misconduct connected with any other department of state. Mow would it Help Biown if it could be shown that other departments liae violated the law? His defense amounts to an admission of his guilt and lie begs mercy on the ground that it is a shame to ex pose him and his department when the other departments are guilty, too. Breat logic, as one might ex pect of J. J. Brown. He objects to the spectacle of “ being singled out;” if I bad been managing the resolution I would have accepted Commissioner Brown’s oka of partiality and amended the resolution to include ail other departments. It is not too late to do this at the npxt meet ing of the general assembly, be cause the next meeting is next June, three months before the next state primary, and if the sun shines next year Mr. Brown will be running for office again. .A .serious elravge is brought a gainst Commissioner Brown from Thomson, Ha., that he has violated the law by failing to give certain fees to the district agricultural schools to which these schools are entitled. The charge was made last week in the public press and the other departments are guilty Commissioner Brown. Will his de fense to this charge be that other 1 have seen no defense offered by school, too? Will he object to be ing “singled out” in this connec tion? The Columbia News, whose editor l do not know, charges that Mr. Brown used to be an apostle of anti-dipping of cattle, but that now be subjects farmers in many sections of the state to outrageous rigor along that line. Is Brown guilty of inconsistency? Can that be possible with such a sterling politician as our handsome com missioner of agriculture? Personally, I hope our commis sioner of agriculture is not guilty )f the charges brought against dm from the several angles named hut it seems to me that he could •ourt rigid scrutiny with better aste than to try to laugh it to scorn or attempt to impeach such men as Barrett.

What we understand today by the terra “the public” did not exist during antiquity, as it presupposes a great number of simultaneous readers of one and the same writings, a condition that could not be realized before the Invention of printing. The first book that may be said to have bad a public In the sense as now understood was the printed Bible. The essential In strument, however, for the formation of “a public.” journalism, did not ap pear before the French revolution.
