The Demorratic party In Georgia
doesn't know where “it is at.”
When Rockefeller sends that $29,-
000,000 check he should register the
letter.
The prune crop is said to be a
failure. This is good news to those
who live in boarding houses.
The apple crop willbe better than
last year. Does the new Georgia law
prohibit a fellow from drinking
cider?
Fanaticism cuts a very small figure
against machine guns and 20th cen
tury bombs. The Moors have dis
covered that.
The Philadelphia Record thinks
that a man who could so gracefully
swallow defeat as Gov. Vardanian is
not of a common breed.
John Sharp Williams does not be
lieve in “the absolute ru'e of an un
brldley majority.” Georgia is danger
ously that condition.
4 * The past history of erratic legisla
tion shows that after all the people
always pay the freight. This is the
conclusion reached by the Athens
Banner.
Marie Correli says she has no use
for men. This reminds the Washing
ton Post of the fact that no man has
so far volunteered to pay Marie's
board bill for life.
John D. says the richest man can
eat but three meals a day. And can
not enjoy them half as much as a
form laborer. Wealth is not all on
earth worth having.

The Macon Telegraph calls on
John Sharp Williams to pay more
attention to his dress. The Telegraph
doubtless believes that “the apparel
doth oft proclaim the man.”
The prohibition law will be en
forced in Clark county if a public
subscription fund has to be raised for
that purpose. The Athens Banner
ssays that blind tigers will have no
show is»re.
Ten thousand feet above the earth
large quantities of liquor can be con
sumed without danger of inebrity.
Glorious news. Some one should
start a blind tiger balloon line over
Georgia at once.
Even the hide bouiid New York
Tribune say/ that now “a Southern
candidate for the presidency could
reasonably expec t to be judged on
his own claims and his own merits.”
Shades of Whitelaw Reid!
The Augusta Herald wants some
Judge to make himself solid with the
people by sending, a trust magnate to
the penitentiary . No doubt some
judge will be found doing it some
day with just about such a motive
Xactuating him.
We wish some disinterested out
sider would decide whether the Con
stitution, or the Georgian, or the
Journal, is running the earth, and
relieve the minds of the public as
well as of the eminent trio of Atlanta
editors.
The rural mail carriers are the
friends of Senator Clay, says the
Greensboro Herald. Mighty good
friends to have, too. They are not
interested in long speeches on con
stitutional topics but they can appre
ciate a statesman who “does filings,'.’

Has it not been shown by Democrat
orators time after time that all of
the trusts and many of the protected
industries outside of trusts do this
very thing? We are not endorsing
, Standard Oil Co., but the action
f of the administration in this instance
savers too strongly of picking out
one concern and shutting its eyes to
hundreds of equally culpable cases.
There is a lot of grand stand playing
about Smith’s Monday morning dose
to the public.
TOMPULSO^ ABBITRATIOS IS SEEDED?
This country is now in the throes of another great strike. From one
end of the country to the other telegraph operators are leaving their keys, I
and oue of the greatest factors in the business life of the day promises j
to be brought to a sudden cessation. t
Whether the grievances of the telegraph operators are real or fancied, ‘
whether their rate of pay is insufficient or not. whether their Union should |
or should not be recognized, are not the only questions at issue. The real \
question, the question that comes home to every citizen, in business and I
out of business, is whether the country is long going to submit ta a warfare 1
of this character that jeopardizes the interests of every business man in 1
the country, to some extent, and may play havoc at any time with the'
interests of any citizen.
Public utility compauies and their employes Should be compelled by
statute to arbitrate their differences. This is a country, it is true, of
personal freedom,but personal freedom does not include the right, or
should not include the right, of two corporations and their thousands of
employes to disrupt and demoralize the entire business interests of the
land, to bring incalcuable damage to other corporations and individuals, to
generally unsettle the commercial affairs in every city and town and
hamlet.
The public has rights that unfortunately neither the telegraph com
panies nor the telegraph operators seem in the least inclined to consider.
I The rights of the public rise paramount to either the rights of the
corporations or the rights of the telegraph operators, individually or
collectively'as a Union. The ~publte is long suffering, but its patience has
been sorely taxed in recent years. It is to be hoped that in this instance
it will be taxed to the breaking point and that national legislation will
ensue that will put an end to strikes of this nature.
It should be made a misdemeanor, or penal, offense, for public utility
corporations, and their employes to bring their differences to the striking
point. Ninety millions of people are not going to submit forever to incon
venience and loss in such a fashion as this. If the next Congress does
not take hold of this matter it will certainly be remiss in its duty to a long
suffering nation.

Manners Outside the Navy.
, The ordinary seaman's respect for
rank and station when not connected
with his beloved vessel is decidedly
meager. When the president of the
United States visits one of our ruen
of-wnr he is received at the gangway
I by the admiral, commanding officer
and all of the officers of the ship, in
. full uniform, the marine guard drawn
, up with the band on the quarterdeck,
the natlonnl flag is displayed at the
main, the drummer gives four rufiles,
the band plays the national air, and a
; salute of twenty-one guns is fired.
The same ceremony also takes place on
his leaving.
: On one occasion a president visited
one of the ships informally, dispensing
1 with the salute and ceremony, when
. one of the men rather indignantly
I asked another who that lubber was on
. the quarterdeck that didn’t ‘Mouse his
pea#” to the commodore.
“Choke your luff, will you?” was the
reply. “That’s the president of the
t United States.”
■ “Well, ain’t he got manners enough
, to salute the quarterdeck, if he is?”
“Manners! What does he know
about manners? I don’t suppose he
was ever out of sight of land in his
1 life.”—“On n Man-of-Wnr.”

STATE PRESS COMMEMS.
(Athens Banner.)
It strikes us as wrong for the leg
islature to enact a law such as the
house has already passed upon fav
orably, calling upon all the steam
roads and electric railways of the
State to pay a tax of one per cent on
their gross receipts in addition to the
tax on their property and the tax on
their franchises. We may be wrong,
but we do not think we are, when
we say that that is just a little too
much. The State is facing a treasury
that needs money and this is a good
way to get it. That is about the
situation.
(Augusta Herald.)
John L. Sullivan is said to altern
ate between delivering temperance
lectures and taking on jags. Some
mebers in the Georgia legislature
are also built along those lines.
(Atlanta Constitution.)
With Alabama after them on one
side of us, and North Carolina and
Virginia hauling them over the coals
on the other, by the time the rail
roads are hailed to the bar in Geor
gia, they'll probobly be tame enough
to eat out of your hand.
(Columbus Ledger.)
The legislature might reform some
while it is attemxitiug to reform and
regulate so many things in the state.
A little reformation in that body
would be a great relief to the xieo
ple of Georgia.
(Quitmun Frce-l’ress.)
Just think what the legislature
might have done to us if they had
another mouth's time!
(Albany Herald.)
Hon. Hoke Smith probably fully
realizes by this time that getting
elected governor is mere child's
1 play in comparison with the more
strenuous business of trying to hold
the reins over a reform legislature
—and the present legislature was
supposed to be “his’n,” too.
(Macon Telegraph.)
Those who fought Joe Hall’s anti
pass bill for nine years because it
was too radical, and are now fighting
it because it is not radical enough,
put themselves in the attitude of
saying “if we can't get free passes
nobody shall.”
Probably with out having it in
mind, John Sharp Williams has en
dorsed the statement made by the
Atlanta Constitution that Tom Wat
son and the Pops have captured the
Democratic party in Georgia, Wil
liams says Watson’s tactics came
near accomplishing this in Missis
sippi.
The Baltimore Sun says “party
exigencies may compel the renomi
nation. of Roosevelt.” Teddy is
probably praying for an avalanche
of “party exigencies.”
