“To run, or not to run? That is
the question.”—Joe Brown's solioquy.
Publish the letter you sent to fie
Governor, Joe. Let the whole state
in.
The Smith party, the Cordele Ram
bler says, is steadily losing ground in
South Georgia.
Every woman now will want to
know what was in Joe Brown s note
to Governor Smith.
Joe Brown is a trifle too coy. If
he is going to run he ought to say
so and be done with it.
Taft and Bryan will apparently run
a race to see which will have the big
gest majority in the nominating con
ventions.
A recent magazine article says:
“Roasting is a lost art,” The editor
ought to read Tom Watson on Hoke
Smith. It would change his mind.
We regret to notice that Miss El
berta is putting on her Easter dress
so far in advance of the day. We
are much afraid she will get her trim
mings nipped by a frost.
The New York Republican conven
tion called Roosevelt a pathmaker and
Hughes a peacemaker. What the
country really yearns for just now,
though, is a prosperity maker.
The Brewers' Association wants to
suppress “undesirable saloons.” The
trouble seems to be that the public
is rapidly being educated to the belief
that all saloons are "undesirable."
The remarkable thing about the De
Kalb county meeting was that tnc
reporter of the Atlanta .Journal
heard a lot of tremendous aoplause
that no one else seems to have heard.
The clamor for the abolishment of
gambling in stocks and commodities
grows in volume and vehemence. If
this is done another get-rich-quick
find-easy-game will soon be started
to part the fool and his money.
“Prohibition should now be taken
out of politics,” said Gov. Smith in
his DeKalb addres. Will be adhere
to this or change his front again, as
he has done four different times on
this very liquor question in the pas*
year. .
Everybody may have to get a
primer Esparanto and study like
school children. Roosevelt has re
ceived one of the main conversation
alists in that unknown tongue and
has promised to think the matter
over.
The Hoke Smith organs are doing
their best to convince the old vets
that they reaHy do not know what
they want, and that quarterly pay
ments are the very best thing foi
them. They seem to be having an up
hill job in hand.
The pastor of the First Baptist
Church, of East St. Louis, holds that
no girl should be kissed until after
she becomes a bride. As a result the
young men and girls are all flock
ing to other churches where more
orthodox doctrines are maintained.
—-As the agricultural train disseminat
ing politics as well as farming theor
ies? This is the pertinent question
asked by the Columbus Enguirer-Sun.
The idea seems to be taking root that
there is more politics than the pub
lic has imagined in the whole pro
ject.
Mr. Candler, of coca-cola fame, will
son be asking for advice as to how
to invest millions of nickles that will
pour into his coffers with the advent
of warm weather. He will doubtless
soon tire of building huge office build
ings, theatres, and business struc
tures.
“If men were perfect we would
have perfect weather, a perpetual
spring,” says the Macon Telegraph.
It evidently does not agree with the
old German philosopher who main
tained that men would speedily find
a continuance of sunshine a dreadful
monotony.
Henry Watterson says he believes
that Bryan can defeat Taft, this be
ing a hard business year in his view
of the future. Only a few short
months ago the Ken.pcky Colonel was
insisting that Johnson was the man
to do the job. As the mint julep sea
son approaches the genial editor looks
with kinder eyes on the Nebraskan
apparently.
WHY NOT THE OUNCE OF PRE
VEXTIOXI
Exercised over the attempted as
sassination of the chief of police of
Chicago, there is a determined on
slaught to be made on the professors
of anarchy in this country and a
concerted effort will be made for their
deportation. In recent years there
has been a steady influx of the “Reds,”
until today every large, and many of
the smaller cities, of the North and
West have societies of men who are
the open opponents of religion, of law
and of government.
The South has never been cursed
with this class of citizens, unless it
be New Orleans, where the Mafia was
handled quite effectively by a self
appointed body of citizens some years
ago. This is one ' reason, perhaps,
why there is still so strong a senti
ment in this section against immigra
tion of a general nature from Eu
rope. We are spared the dangers
arising from anarchists, and are not
put to the necessity of facing such
problems as now confront the au
thorities in other parts of the land.
While all law abiding citizens will
sympathize with the efforts to detect
and export the avowed anarchists,
the question must naturally arise in
every thoughtful mind: “Why has not
the ounce of prevention been used in
the past?” Why have not the anar
chists been prevented from coming
to this country, or, if they did
come, why have they not been 1 ’ pre
vented from landing?
The truth of the matter seems to
be that our whole immigration sys
tem needs a change. Public senti
ment is gradually being awakened to
the fact, and sooner or later it will
become so strong that the time-serving
politicians in Congress will no lon
ger hesitate or submit to their fears
of the so-called “foreign vote.”
No immigrant should be allowed to
enter the United States unless he has
a certificate of character from a res
ponsible official abroad. The exami
nation should be in the country from
whence the immigrant comes, and it
should be done by Americans, in
whose integrity there can be no
doubt.
The moral, fully as much as the
physical, condition, of the proposed
immigrant should be carefully inves
tigated and no one who cannot fur
nish a clean moral statement should be
given a certificate. Especially should
the official investigation be strict on
the line of affiliation with anarchists
or murderous societies, or the avow
al of principles that are antagonistic
to law and order. Only in some such
way as this can we hope to prevent
the further inrush of many thou
sands of men with malice and murder
in their souls. The gates need not be
shut down entirely but they should
certainly be more carefully guarded
than they have been in the past.
THE ABATEMENT OF GOV. SMITH’S
POPULARITY
"He was given the closest and most
respectful hearing throughout. While
the enthusiasm was not very great,
it was quite evident that his hearers
agreed with him in the main, and
were prepared to heartily support him
for a second term —Atlanta Georgian,
Smith Organ.
Candidly speaking, this would not
look as though there was any over
whelming enthusiasm at the first
outturn of Georgia voters to hear
Gov. Smith in his campaign for a
second term.
The governor carried DeKalb over
whelmingly two years ago. The per
sonal popularity and enthusiasm in
his cause must have subsided, judging
front the statement of the Georgian.
When a man’s organ admits that
“the enthusiasm was not very great”
it can be accepted as a fact that the
enthusiasm was more noticeable by
its absence than by its presence.
There is no doubt that Gov. Smith
will be elected for a second term.
Everyone knows that Precedent is a
powerful weapon, and it has been the
custom in Georgia to give a man a
second term in this office.
But if this were not .the case, and
a really strong man had entered the
field, Gov. Smith would not have had
a walkover by any means. Indeed, it
is quite within the range of probab
ilities that with public sentiment
rapidly receding from him he would
have been left stranded high and dry,
a dead politician.
But Georgia will have another two
years of Smith administration. It is
certainly to be hoped that it will not
be a two years marked by persecu
tion of incorporated capital, by the
driving of enterprises from the state,
by the discouragement of movements
intended to promote the building up
of the state, by railroad receiverships
and the arraying of class against
class.
But many Georgians fear that such
will be the case.
WOMAN SUFFRAGE.
(Philadelphia Record)
The women who favor women suf
frage in this country, without making
a very serious study of the difficulties
that bar their way to attainment of
their object, not unnaturally reach
the conclusion that the short cut lies
in the direction of an amendment to
the Federal Constitution. But this is
a path of exceeding difficulty. It re
quires as a preliminary either a two
thirds assent on the part of Congress
or an application backed by two
thirds of the States and final ratifica
tion by the legislatures of three
fourths of the States. This is a- very
tedious undertaking.
It is evident, as the right to say
who shall vote and who shall not
vote has been reserved to the States,
and as the States are rightfully jeal
ous of any invasion of their reserved
rights, that the place to begin agita
tion for woman suffrage is where the
option of granting it lies. As Chair
man Jenkins, of the House Judiciary,
who has been pestered by the sufffra
gettes, humorously observes: “The
obvious course for the girls would be
to go back to their homes and agitate
the matter there.”
There is no reasonable doubt that
when a majority of the adult women
of the country manifest a desire to
exercise the suffrage they will be
armed with the power. What is there
in the way of privilege which they
really insist upon that the fathers-,
sons and brothers have denied them?
HOW MANY WERE THERE I
“Several thousand people heard the
governor’s speech.”—Macon Evening
News.
“There were about four hundred
persons at the meeting."—Macon Tel
egraph.

500 of DeKalb’s citizens.”—Atlanta
Journal.

Got. Johnson’s Candidacy
(New York World.)
The Minesota State Committee owes
no apologies to Mr. Bryan or to any
body else for its indorsement of Gov.
John A. Johnson for the Democratic
nomination for President.
The committee’s action was the
sanest, most intelligent, most hopeful
thing that has happened in Democratc
politics in months. The Minnesota
Democratic have a candidate for
President whom any State in the Un
ion might be proud to present to a
National Convention.
The World inclines to the belief
that Gov. Johnson is the strongest
man the Democrats could' nominate.
He would carry every State that Mr.
Bryan could carry. He would carry
States that Mr. Bryan could not pos
sibly carry. He would give the De
mocratic party a fighting chance in
States in which Mr. Bryan's nomina
tion would mean a Republican ■walk
over. In the great debatable States
of New York and New Jersey alone
Gov. Johnson would be at least 100,-
000 votes stronger than Mr. Bryan.
Indeed, there are well-informed New
York Democrats who think that Gov.
Johnson might carry this State. In
any event, his nomination would give
new life, new hope, new courage and
new fighting spirit to Democrats in
every section of the country.
If Mr. Bryan were not blinded by
personal ambition and selfishness he
too would perceive the superior avail
ability of Gov. Johnson, who has no
record of defeat and has been involved
in none of the ancient feuds and
vendettas of the party. If Mr. Bryan
had the true interests of the Demo
cratic party at heart he would be urg
ing the nomination of a man like
John A. Johnson, who could reunite
the shattered factions of the party
and hold out to the Democracy some
prospect of victory, however faint. As
it is, judged by the r ~ action of Mr.
Bryan's supporters in Minesota yes
terday, Mr. Bryan will exert all his
power and influence to crush the
Johnson candidacy. It is a challenge
which the Governor's friends need not
hesitate to accept.
As between John A. Johnson and
William J. Bryan. New York's 78
votes in the National Convention will
be cast for John A. Johnson. New
Jersey will undoubtedly follow the
lead of New York. So, we think, with
Pennsylvania and the larger part of
New England. So will many other
States in which the intelligent leader
ship of the party is sick of Bryanism.
but has despaired of finding a real
candidate to follow.
The World does not by any means
regard Mr. Bryan’s nomination as
inevitable, or consider the candidacy
of a man like John A. Johnson hope
less. If we did we should have little
interest in the fortunes of the Demo
cratic party and should abandon it
to its cranks, its semi-socialists and
its demagogues.
But we refuse to concede that a
National Convention of 1,002 ordinar
ily intelligent human beings, confront
ed with the certainty of defeat under
Mr. Bryan and the possibility of vic
tory under Gov. Johnson, would de
liberately elect again to follow Popu
lism to disaster.
Tom Watson on Hoke Smith.
(Weekly Jeffersonian.)
He had in his power to have be
come the great central figure of
Southern politics. The Jeffersonian
worked for him, sung his praises,
held up his hands, excused many of
his shortcomings, kept him out of
some bad blunders, stood by him
loyally and unselfishly—but after
all, he fell from grace. His heart
was not in it, and he let the fires of
his zeal die down.
Instead of calling those recreant
legislators back to their post of duty
as he halfway promised to do, he al
lowed Dick Gray and the Atlanta
Journal to chill him into passive sub
mission. Instead of going over the
state to make reform speeches, and
to expose those members of the Leg
islature who had gone back on the
people—as he positively declared
that he would do—he turned his elo
quent voice to homilies on education
and forestry, and the golden oppor
tunity passed.
Then to cap the climax of reac
tion and backsliding, he and the At
lanta Journal have now gone in with
the old gang on the matter of early
primaries, and the masses of the peo
ple are cut out of any control over
the office-holding ring.
The great majority of the people of
this state can not, without inconven
ience and loss, give their attention to
political affairs in April and May.
This is well known to the politicians.
To hold the primaries at that
time gives the town ring almost ab
solute control.
Besides, where members of the
Legislature seek renomination say,
in June, 1908, when they have not
shown how they are going, these
members are in the position of ask
ing another term before the people
can know how they will conduct
themselves during the term for which
they have already been elected.
In other words, the people will be
asked on June 4, 1908, to elect mem
bers for 1909, when those of 1908 have
not finished their record.
Thus we introduce into state af
fairs the most vicious feature of the
federal system, which allows a con
gressman to continue in office after
he has been condemned by his con
stituents.
Hoke Smith made this a promi
nent plank In his reform campaign.
He spoke against it all over the state.
He gained many votes by his pledges
to change that system to a late
primary.
The Macon platform—Hoke’s own
work —positively promises to reform
this evil of the early primary. So
late as November, 1907, in his speech
at Mcßae, Governor Smith most em
phatically renewed his pledges upon
that subject.
But, in a few weeks after making
this speech, our great reformer back
slides upon the early primary, also,
and now the people will be worse
ring-ruled than ever.
We have seen many cases of cam
paign zeal freezing into official sel
fishness, but we cannot at this mo
ment, recall any instance which
compares with the backslidings of
Hoke.
The Illinois Central now runs the
Georgia Central.
The Sioux City Journal says that
“The way the skirt should be carred
depends on the walking.” The Ma
con Evening News intimates that the
style and quality of the hoisery also
has due weight. We venture to ob
serve that a prettily turned ankl? also
cuts some figure.
RHEUMATISM
BLOOD FILLED WITH URIC ACID
Rheumatism comes from an excess of uric acid in the blood. This acid
circulating through the system acts as an irritant to the different muscles,
nerves, bones and tissues of the body, and produces the inflammation and
swelling of the joints and the sharp, cutting pains characteristic of the dis
ease. When the blood is overburdened with uric acid it continually grows
weaker and more acrid, and poorer in nourishing qualities. Then Rheuma
tism becomes chronic, and not only a painful, but a formidable and danger
ous disease. Sometimes the heart is attacked, the general health is affected,
and the oils and fluids which lubricate the muscles and joints are destroyed
by the acrid matter which the blood is constantly depositing in them ; the
muscles shrink and lose their elasticity, the coating of the joints becomes
hard and thick, and often the sufferer is left a hopeless cripple. S. S. S.
attacks the disease at its head, goes down into the circulation, and by neutral
izing and removing the uric acid from the
circulation and building up the thin, acrid
blood, cures Rheumatism permanently.

“Practical Politics” and Parity.
(New York American)
Political organization is necessary
in a republic. It is quite as neces
sary as the government itself. The
reason is that the administration of
the government must typify definite
views and propositions. And the
typification of definite views can only
be through organization of a body
of citizens who uphold the same
principles.
Unfortunately, in the course of
time, American political organization
becomes not a union of citizens to
express and carry out.cardinal prin
ciples, but simply organization!
This organization relies on the his
toric value of a party name and the
shibboleths of a glorious past.
Instead of standing for principles,
it is the mere force of so-called “prac
tical politics,” and the money force
behind it.
“Practical polities?’ is always a
thing of money!
“The practical politician” says that
principles are very fine, but money is
what makes the machine work.
Therefore, he relegates principles
to the zone of the callow tyro who
really believes that he is saving the
country.
The “practical politician” laughs!
It is very funny.
But it is exactly through the evo
lution of "practical i>olities" that poli
cal corruption fosters in our great
government. Let the idea prevail
locally that principles are callow,
and that they are the fetish of the
inexperienced, and it will spread into
the State politics, and, necessarily,
into national politics, and finally,
dominate the Government itself!
Therefore, in the workings of a
free government no wider and deeper
necessity can be reckoned than the
reincarnation, at intervals, of parties
based on principle versus parties
based on the general local degrada
tion of “practical politics.”
It is an old saying that no stream
can be purer than its source. It is
possible, of course, that a stream will
gather pure water on its way.
But it has never been successfully
demonstrated that political- action, un
principled at the source, has swelled
into a great, pure stream of national
political morals.
Let the citizen make a brief excur
sion into the source of power of
his old party locally. He will find
that it is supported by elements which
he would blush to vote into national
power.
He will hear the vile stories of
carrying certain wards and districts.
He will find principles abandoned and
forgotten, save for the mouthings of
the campaign orator.
Such being the truth, it cannot be
denied that the elemental political
necessity for the purity of the Ameri
can government is occasional rein
carnations of parties drawing their
strength from the sincere support of
cardinal principles.
When Georgia Forced the Eleventh
Amendment.
(Atlanta Journal)
Judge Pritchard had better refresh
his memory as to the events which
led to the adoption of the eleventh
amendment, in which Georgia, we are
proud to recall, bore a leading part.
More than once we have related the
facts, but they will bear repeating.
The federal government attempted
to assert its authority over the Cher
okee territory, ‘Which was then locat
ed within the borders of the state of
Georgia. When the half-breed, Corn
Tassel, murdered another Indian in
that territory, he was arrested by the
authorities of the state of Georgia,
tried and condemned to death.
The demagogues of his day, anxious
to strengthen the federal power, lost
no time in coming to his assistance.
In spite of the limitations of juris
diction already prescribed by the con
stitution, the supreme court issued
its writ of error, and demanded that
the case be brought to that tribunal
for review.
The state*of Georgia ignored the
imperious mandate of John Marshall,
failed and refused to transmit the
record to the federal court—and Corn
Tassel was hanged!
The pious agitators .Worcester and
Graves, who, in the name and under
the guise of missionaries, went into
tlie Cherokee territory, in defiience of
the clear prohibition of the state, and
for so doing were placed under arrest,
made similar appeals to the supreme
court of the United States. Again
the State of Georgia was commanded
to renounce its authority in favor
of the federal government and again
the state refused.
And when we say refused we mean
it in the negative sense that the writ
of the federal court was not even
dignified with a postive refusal. It
was contemptuously ignored.
And in spite of the usurped author
ity of the federal court, the criminals
who had violated the laws of Georgia
were sent to the penitentiary.
It was as a direct outgrowth of
this conflict of authority that the
eleventh amendment was passed, in
which the federal court was given, at
the hands of congress and the peo
ple, the severest rebuke that tribunal
has ever received.
