CAN'T FOOL THE PEOPLE ALL THE TIME ,
“Mr. Speaker," said Mr\ Payton, of Worth, “A great deal of this reform
legislation is born of a desire' tp curry favor with the people, and to array
them against the corporations, l e.m not looking at this legislation through
corporation glasses, for the railroad companies did not even offer me a
pass, but 1 do want justice done all.”
isn't this the truth. Has not Mr. Payton, of Worth, struck the nail
on the head. Is not the bulk of the so called “reform" legislation, the
legislation aimed at corporations, nothing but a puerile effort on the part
of imliticians to “curry favor with the people.” to incite a feeling of hatred
against corjtorations among the people in order that they, the politicians,
may appeal to this prejudice and passion for future political preferment?
Reasonable regulation of corporations no one can condemn. All the
corporations should be as subservient to the laws as the humblest individual.
But regulation does not mean excessive taxation, it does not mean the des
truction of valuable properties by tremendous increases in the burdens
placed upon them, it does not mean depriving them of their right of appeal
against injustice and excessively onerous demands upon them.
Whenever a State falls into the hands of politicians who are willing to
ruin its corporations to advance their own personal, selfish, political
ambitions, that State is in a bad way. It is true they pose as patriots, as
the only friends of the people, the guardians of their liberties, but the true
motive that actuates them, the mainspring of their acions, is not the good
of the “dear public” but the good of the politician, the promotion of his own
aims, the satisfying of his itch for political place. The bulk of the loudest
shouters for on all lines are disgusting examples of selfishness
j'-t king to pul ( p )Wn that they-may. rlse/in the ruins they have wrought..
of Worth, had the situation down right. The people are
also getting the right perspective on a lot of the legislators at Atlanta.
They are rapidly being sized up at their true worth, not at the valuation they
would have the dear people place upon them. The representatives and
senators with freak bills, those with bills that are manifestly unjust and
only calculated to bring harm to Georgia, they are on the flood tide of their
political prosperity right now. Their little wave of popularity will soon
recede and leave them among the flotsam that is cast aside upon the shore
of oblivion. They will then be where they belong, and where they will
probably ever after stay.
“You can fool all of the people some of the time, you can fool some of
the people all of the time, but you can’t fool all of the people all of the
time.”
A big bunch of the present legislators at Atlanta will have this lesson
brought home to them before two years more have rolled around.
LIFE'S MIRROR.
“There are loyal hearts, there are
spirits brave,
There are souls that are pure and
true;
Then give to the world the best you

And the best will come back to

“Give love, and love to your life will
flow,
A strength in your utmost need;
Have faith, and a score of hearts will
show
Their faith in your word and deed.
“Give truth, and your gift will be paid

And honor with honor meet;
And a smile that is sweet will surely
find
A smile that is just as sweet.

THE TELEGRAPHERS' STRIKE !
«
Comment of Georgia Newspapers on
the Great Tie-Up.
(Savannah Press.)
In many countries the telegraph is
a part of the postal department. The
cost of the message is greatly re
duced, and tlie efficiency of the ser
vice is generally increased. This is
vastly different from the government
ownership of railroads. Acquiring
the lines of transportation would be
much more cumbersome and expen
sive than looping the telegraph loop
to the postal department. The gov
ernment ought to control the avenues
of communication, and one day may
do it. The prevalence of a big strike
like this, by which thousands of
people are being incommoded, may
be an object lesson, and the govern
ment may be educated either to ab
sorb the great lines or to string up I
its own lines.
(Savannah News.)
A thing for the telegraph compan
ies and the telegraph operato rs to
remember is that in the strike that
has been inaugurated, their interests
are not only interests to be consider
ed. The interests of the public are
much greater than theirs. The tele
graph companies are only servants of
the public and the operators are a
part of the telegraph system. There
are eighty millions of people who
are to a greater or less extent de
pendent upon the telegraph compan
ies in one way and another. Those
who are not engaged in business that
requires the use of the wires, or
have no occasion to send social mes
sages, are interested in the prompt
transmission of the news—the mar
kets as well as the general news.
Hence, any considerable interruption
of the telegraph system is bound to
bring out a strong protest and con
demnation of those responsible for
the interruption. It would be a dif
ficult matter to so place the respon
sibility for the strike that the decis
ion would be accepted by both sides.
The public isn’t going into a thorough
investigation of the subject, but it is
going to hold somebody responsible
if there is a lengthy interruption of
the transmission of messages.
(Albany Herald.)
Now we begin to realize what an
important and indispensable fellow
the telegraph operator is. And we
can also realize at the same time, by
doing a little thinking, how depen
dent we all are one upon the other
as we trudge along life’s pathway.
There is something for all to do, and
there are duties for each one to
perform. And in business and all the
arteries and avenues of commerce and
trade we are one great community of
co-dependents.
