No matter what the administration
at NV i.diington may think, And nee-
ossa:., or do, the sympathies of the
mass of the people of the country will
undoubtedly be with the people of the
Pacific slope In their endeavors to
abut the gates against the Japanese.

the dangers that He In the Immigra

In auy numbers. While of a higher

ilization, tho Japs are as much aliens

tr as large numbers would be as ob

State would speedily become clamor
ous for a law prohibiting them from

manent settlers therein. Putting our

their sentiments are and the reasons

laws of the United States or of the
State of Georgia and was permitted
to continue to enjoy his liberty. It
hag been intimated that when the
United States Court reconvenes some
of these parties may again be brought
before Judge Speer, but this tim?
with no prospect of similar treat
ment being accorded them.
In Augusta the other day Judge
Speer had another opportunity
assist in the enforcement of the State
law. True he is not charged with
that duty, but the Judge undoubtedly
includes himself in that class ot “good
citizens" who, as Governor Smith said
in his letter on the Savannah situa
tion, believe in the enforcement ot
the law and are willing to do what
they can to that end. While a Feder
al official Judge Speer is also a Geor
gia citizen. It Is probably from a re
cognition of his duty to the state as
one of Its citizens that he exerts Ills
great influence and authority to as
sist the State in carrying Into t tfect
Its prohibitory law.
Two men were brought before the
Judge In Augusta on Tuesday, for
sentence, having been found guilty
of selling liquor without a Federal
license. One was over seventy years
old. A number of tho most promin
ent citizens of Augusta appeared

a suspension of sentence. Judge Speer
stated that he would do so on one
condition, that fifty of the leading
citizens of Augusta sign a statement
to the following effect;
We, the undersigned citizens of the
city of Augutsa do hereby i n open

pledge end promise to the presiding
judge, that In consideration ot certain

all we properly can as citi

state and United States, prohibiting
or restricting the sale and traffic in
intoxicating liquors of all kinds; anil
we will oppose the continuance in or
election to office of any official who
either encourages or Ignores the con
tinuance of Bald violations In this
city and county, and In the north
eastern division of the Southern dis
trict of Oeorgla. (We make this pledgo
In all good faith, and purpose actively
to observe and keep It..*'
Those appealing for mercy for the
culprit objected to the requirement.
Such a pledge, they asserted, would
be a reflection upon Augusta. But
the Judge was obdurate. Without
auch a promise the law must take Its
course. None being forthcoming he
sentenced the man to one year In the
Federal prison.
Wednesday the agreement Insisted
upon by Judge Speer was presented
to him, signed by the requisite num
ber of leading cltiaens. Judge Speer
then suspended the execution of the
sentence Imposed by him.
Fifty of the leading citizens of Au
gusta now stand committed to the
enforcement of the State prohibitory
law. That Judge Speer's course
will be commended by prohibitionists
throughout the state goes without
the saying. It will be interesting now
to watch the developments at Savan
nah. Will there be a similar agree
ment entered Into between Its leading
citizens and the court to save some
unfortunates down there? It would
not be surprising. One thing at least
Is certain. The Federal court of this
District Is unequivocally committed
to the support of the State law to the
fullest extent that its iiowerg and
possibilities permit.

assist him. Instead of that eight

he had taken advantage of. With
this he was able to face the future,

Reed has been confined in the Dur
ham coal mines. The dispatches state
that each convict is required to turn
out so much coal a day, and for all
mined after that he is paid at forty
cents a ton. This convict took ad
vantage of the opportunity. Every
month the money earned by him
was placed In bank to his credit.
The total, as stated, was $800 whe
the day came for him to walk out
free man.
There are no telling how many
similar instances there have been,
or how many more there might
have been if the convicts had been
willing to use their free time for
themselves. Some such system
might well be continued under the
new administration of convict af
fairs. It would be best for the state
and for the convicts themselves if
they could be encouraged to do some
work for themselves and given
opportunity to do it and thereby ac
cumulate some means against the
time when they will become free
agents again. The Idea of confining
a man for years and then turning him
loose without friends, credit or
money upon the world Is abhorrent to
every sense of decency and justice.
Many men who would probably try
to live straight are driven back Into
crime In Just such a way. Even in
tho working of the convicts on the
roads of the various counties It would
be well If a reasonable day's task
was allotted and they were then per
mitted to work an hour or two long
er at tho expense of the county's
treasury, the earnings being deposit
ed to their credit as In the case of
Reed. When men aro sent up for
life such earnings might be at the
disposal of the convicts for the bene
fit of their families, If they so de
sired, or to supply themselves with
some little luxuries. An element of
Interest and of ambition would be in
fused Into the lives of these unfor
tunate criminals In this way that
would help to render their hard exis
tence more tolerable and at the same
time redound to the benefit of the
public In the better behavior of the
prisoners. In any event it could do
no barm and might prove very bene
ficial to continue this feature of the
old system, adapting it to the new
conditions under which the prisoners
of the State will work.

The punishment of Roosevelt be
fore the world and history is severe
enough. The house of representa
tives, by a practically unanimous
vote—212 to 35 irrespective of party
affiliations, has pronounced his
sertlons contained in a formal mes
sage to the body “unjust and with
out basis of fact.” And the pro
nouncement was not mode in heat
resentment, anger or excitement, but
after full Investigation, with calm
deliberation and with a dignity
cording with the best traditions
the American congress. That a man
possessing a sense of personal honor
or even the instincts of decency should
be cut to the quick by such a declara
tion from his political and Jiersona
associates, acting from motives o
high patriotic duty, we consider to Be
seir-evldent. It seems almost Incon
ceivable that President Roosevelt
should not feel the hurt, And yet, tho
newspapers Inform us "all is serene
at the White Hcuse," tho president
merely coincides with the opinion of
Dr. Lyman Abbott, that perhaps
would have been better to have said
"a chief argument” instead of "the
chief argument," and he continues to
be "full of fight." NVe cannot feel
certain, therefore, that as his rage
mounts with growing appreciation of
the humiliation heaped upoq him, the
president, believing that he Is still a
popular idol, may yet force congress
to take action even more drastic than
that already embodied in the two
distinct resolutions of the house and
the Senate. If, as the Sun plainly
Intimates, Theodore Roosevelt Is
emulating the personal as well as the
official example of Andrew Jackson,
we cannot wittingly exaggerate the
gravity of the situation and we do
not believe we are doing so when
we say that serious apprehension will
occupy the minds of all thoughtful
men until William H. Taft shall be

Tried and not found wanting. Is
the verdict for the wireless tele
graph, in Its first real tost, which
occurred on the occasion of the sink
ing of the White Star liner Republic
twenty-six miles south of the Nan
tucket Ughtshtp on last Saturday.
The doomed vessel was equipped with
a wireless apparatus, and to this fact
Is most probably due the saving of
the lives not only of the passengers
and crew of the Republic, but also of
the Florida, which rammed the other
ship In the fog.
Writers of fiction have, in their
flights of fancy, told of calls convey
ed through space from men impris
oned In caves which have reached
the outside world hut the achievement
of the wireless in real life surpasses man
the imagination of the novelist.
In the face of the wildest confusion
and excitement, the wireless opera
tor on the Republic, John Binns,
sprang to his key, and within ten
minutes after the fatal blow had
been received from the Italian steam
ship, tiners within a radius of seven
ty-five miles were receiving the call
"C. Q. D." meaning, "All Ships. Dan
ger," and were being told the loca
tion of the ship In distress.
An half hour later the offices of the
White Star line in New York had
received notice of the disaster, and
all through the day messages were
received, telling of the transfer of
the passengers to the Florida, and
later on another ship.
Heeding the call for help from the
void, four steamships homeward
bound turned their prows again to
the deep and hurried to the rescue,
guided by the flashes sent out through
made. So long as the President Is
the real Executive, he asserted
"there must be greater (reedom ol
criticism than Is consistent with the
dignity of the office.” The liberty of
finding fault Is Inherent In a popu
lar government, and the maxim that
“the king can do no wrong" is ac.
cepted as a political axiom by a de
mocracy like that of Great Britain
only because the titular head of the
State there acts only through a de
facto executive responsible to and
under the direct control of Parlia
ment
Where, as with us, the Cabinet
members are mere subordinates and
agents of the single-headed Execu
tive, and when the Executive is in
clined to be spectacular, with a pre
dilection for acting first and taking
reflection afterward, free criticism
and obstruction by the press, by
Congress and other agencies of pub
lic opinion are not merely rights but
solemn duties. "The Presidential
message has been used,” said Rcprc
sentative McCall, "for purposes
which no State paper should
have been employed; for making ap
peals to the country In the guise of a
communication to the legislature and
often as a vehicle for attacks on In
dividual American citizens." The tre
mendous powers derivable by a Pres
ldent from the unscrupulous use of
patronage, added to the powers com
ing from “a strict inquisition over
the business affairs through an
tension of the national inspector
system," would Infallibly make

fact despite Constitutional forms. Cel

not simply to move, but to move safe
ly."
The constant effort of President
Roosevelt to Increase the functions of
the Federal Government, and parti
cularly the Executive branch thereof,
are manifestations ot a tendency de
structive of our Constitutional sys
tem. The President has undeniable
power enough already to permit him
to become a danger to a government
by law; unless, as Mr. McCall says.
Congrtss shall uncompromisingly ex
ercise the prerogatives with which
It is clothed. The specific topic of
the lecture was the suggestion that
Cabinet officers be given real execu
tive powers and be made measurably
Independent of the President. The
lecturer seemed to favor the propo
sition and, possibly, the further prop
osition to admit Cabinet members to
the floor of Congress. In any event,
It Is to Congress that the country
must look to curb a nascent auto
cracy of a merciless and spying bu-
reauracy. Congress is fitted to the
task by the plenary powers conferred
on it: in fact, It was designed by the
Constitution to be a check on Just
such tendencies as hare of late been
observed In the Executive.

"Fire sales, railroad wreck sales,
or bankrupt sales, where such stocks
arc shipped Into the city and adver
tised as special sales. Two Thousand
Dollars-"
The above is an extract from the
tax ordinance of Moultrie for 1909.
Whether this provision will stand
if it were carried Into the courts wo
annot say. If we recollect correctly
it has helm held that a license im
posed on n legitimate business that Is
practically prohibitive In Its charac
ter is Illegal. Hut are the so-called
lire sales, and bankrupt sales where
the goods are brought In from out
side, legitimate? Are they not, as a
matter of fact, bogus; sales based on
deception, sales that are not what
they purport to be, sales that are a
species of gross misrepresentation?
Such they undoubtedly frequently
are..
The traveling bankrupt land fire
sales never came into touch with a
bankrupt or a fire. They are gener-
aly made up of cheap goods of the
shoddiest character, picked up in
bargain stores of New York, or other
big cities, and are hawked around the
country for the purpose of securing
xorbitant profits on them under the
pretence that they are being sold be
low value beenuse of the fact that
they have been slightly damaged by
fire, or constitute a bankrupt stock.
They represent a swindle very fre
quently, and those conducting them
are trying to get the public to re
lieve itself of its money by making
false pretences to it.
In one or more of the Western
states laws have been passed making
It a criminal offense, with heavy fine
and imprisonment attached, to put on
a sale under such j misrepresentations.
This Is a protection to local merch
ants. If an Itinerant concern comes
along with an alleged bankrupt or
fire stock the local merchants can
make it show where the goods come
from and If there Is misrepresenta
tion there is a prosecution and pun
ishment in store for the culprits.
There Is a hint here for the merch
ants of this and other Georgia towns
that have suffered from these bogus
sales, in the past. Why not get the
Georgia legislature to pass a law
along this line? No one objects to
honest competition, but competition
that Is based on downright lies Is not
honest and fair. The traveling con
cern that tells the public that It Is
selling clothing or dry goods at fifty
cents on tile dollar because It bought
out a fire damaged stock or a bank
rupt stock when it lias done nothing
of the sort is getting money by
cheating and swindling. It Is mis
leading the public, defrauding Its cus
tomers. aud damaging honest local
merchants who do business along le
gitimate lines. An honest local bank
rupt sale, or nu honest local fire
sale, Is all right, but these are the
exceptions. The greater part of such
alleged sales are fakes, pure and
simple, and they should be run
of Georgia for good.

Defending Dr. Wiley
(New Orleans Slates
It is a significant fact that the New
York Wholesale Grocers' Associa
tion adopted by a unalnmoua vote
resolutions expressing that organiza
tion's disapproval ot the attacks
which have been made upon Dr.
Wiley, chief of the Bureau of Chem
istry and chairman of the Food In-
snectlen Bureau,- of the Department of
Agriculture. The resolutions assert
that the attacks are "calculated to
unjustly malign a faithful public of
ficial whose services are and have
been for many years of incalculable
benefit and value to the public, and
to weaken the effectiveness and pow
er of the Pure Food Law."
It la probable that the action ot the
wholesale grocers of New York will
have tb» effect of rallying other busi
ness organizations to his support that
are Interested In maintaining an ef
fective enforcement of the law. and
bringing public opinion to bear for
the retention of his services and the
continuance of Hit work he has un
dertaken. While the New York as
sociation, In Its resolutions, did not
agree with some of the positions ta
ken by Dr. Wllev it recognized In
him a man of "honesty and Integrity,
of unflinching tenacity of purpose for
-he public good and one of the chief
champions of pure and unadulterated
food for the people." This la a high
“".’mpllment to the character and con-
'xet of Dr. Wiley nnd the consensus
of opinion at Washington where the
purpose of the fight against him Is
ciearly understood. Is that the com
pliment Is well deserved.
