Atlanta, Ga., July 3(*.~-"l am literal
ly thunderstruck at the mildness of
Mr. Smith's published statement writ
ten for delivery as a speech at Way-
cross. It satisfies me more thau ever
that the contest Is practically at a.i
end, for no many with any hoi>e of
victory could have staked his cam
paign on the basis of tit.it adiress. It
reads defeat ali through."
■Such, In part, is thie comment of
Manager Ed Maddox, of Gov. Brown
headquarters, after reading the speech
which Hoke Smith did not make
Waycross Friday.
"No longer defiant," continued Mr.
Maddox, "Mr. SmlttJ speaks 'like
another man. His whole bearing has
changed and the thing tha^ strike
me most forcibly ab.ut his address is
the embarrassing attitude in which it
leaves Ms extreme supporters who
have already been creating all kinds
of imaginary issues only to have them
knocked down one after another.
"And now comes Mr. Smith absO'
iutely ignoring some of these so-called
Issues and treating the others in such
a half-hearted way as to leave room f<
no other conclusion than that hi,
inner conscience rebukes the extreme'
ism of some of his most enthusiastic
advocates. .
“I am now able to reconcile
Smith's three statements to the effect
that he would not run for governoi
with Iris present candidacy. His
speech is a confession that he bad
nothing to run on."
IIIGGEH BATTLES TO EIGHT
THAN THAT AT HEXO
Pittsburg, I’a.. Aug. 2.—“Too muc.1
Jack Johnson,” was the tSfemo of
sermon by the Rev. A. A. Virgil, tho
colored pastor of the Warren African
Methodist Episcopal church' last
evening.
"I believe tho members of tny race
have gone far enough in their jubilant
spree over the victory at Reno," he
said. "Too much Johnson .has made u
mad. Tho negro is still a missionary
people and will be for many years
come. Consider that it took the white
race two thousand years to get where
it is, and it is still far from perfection
Wo have harder battles to fight than
those of the prize ring. Let tho sober
mental sides of our natures get i
proper hearing. There has been ah
solutely too much Johnson on our lips,
and perhaps, in our hearts."

Taft Approves Opiunion of
Attorney General.
Beverly, Mass., August 2.—President
Taft has approved without comment,
an opinion by Attorney General Wick
ersham to the effeot thiff there is no
provision of law by which* the statue
of General Robert E. Dee, In Confed-
rate uniform, can be removed from
statuary hall In the capita! at Wash
ington.
in addition to deciding the question
*n a purely legal basis. Mr. Wicker-
sham argues the matter from an eth
ical point of view, declaring that Lee
has come to be regarded as typifying
all that was best in trJe cause to
which he gave his services and the
most loyal and unmurmuring accept
ance of the completo overthrow of the
cause. That the state of Virginia
should designate him for one place In
statuary hall as ono Illustrious for dis-
native state, he gave his services, bul
also tt<e most loyal and unmurmuring
acceptance of the complete overthrew
of that cause. That the state of Vir
ginia should designate him as one Il
lustrious for distinguished military
service, is therefore natural, that his
statue should be clothel in the Con
federate uniform thus eloquently testi
fying to the fact that a magnanimous
country has completely forgiven an un
successful effort to destroy the un

NEWBURGH JUDGE HOLDS
COURT IN BLEACHERS
Wildly Cheer Hie Game In the
Meantime.
New York, July 29.—County Judge
A. H.‘ F. Seager, of Newburgh, held
a apeclal term of the county court In
the blmutfere at the athletic field in
Middletown, N. Y.. yesterday, while
the crowd was going nrltd over a game
of baseball between the Cuban giants
and Me Middletown Athletic dub.
The case eras that of a paper com
pany of New York against a former
sman named Gardner, who waa ar
rested In a dispute over the disposal
of certain bonds. Gardner's attorney
wished to Inspect tbs minutes of the
grand jury. District Attorney Ragsrs
opposed granting the request and Judge
Seager concurred with him. Then the
judge and lawyers resumed their seats
torney general declares, Is only nat
ural and would be under the reading
of the law.
Mr. Wiekersham's opinion was cal!
ed forth by a protest to the president
from the Department of New York,
Grand Army of the Republic. In his
opinion, addressed to and approved by
thv> president. Attorney General Wick
ersham says:
"I have read the resolutions adopt
'd by the Department of New York,
U. A. R.. Syracuse, on June 23, and the
communication of Hon. James Tanner
ntli respect to them. The act of Ju
ij s 1864. referred to. provides for the
creation of suitable structures and
railings in the old tall of the house
or representatives for the reception
and the protection of statuary, which
is to be under the supervision and
direction of the chief of engineers in
charge of public buildings and grounds
and the statute authorizes the pres
ident to invite each* and all of the
states to provide and furnish statues
in marble or bronze, not exceeding
two in number,-from each state, of
persons who have been citizens there
of and illustrious for their historic re
nown, for distinguished military oi
cvic services, such as the state shal
deem worthy of tbs national oornmen-
oration; and when so furnished the
same shall be placed in -the «!d hail
of the house of representatives In th
capitol of the United States, which is
set aside, or a9 much thereof as may
be necessary for a national statuary
hall fort the sphere indicated.
"It is probably true,” continues the
attorney general, that when this act
was passed congress didn't contem
plate that any state would designate
one or more of its citizens who were
engaged in warlike rebellion against
the government of the United States
as persons Illustrious let their his
toric renown or for distinguished civic
or military services whose statues
should be placed In this hall.’
"Nevertheless, In tbs hope of iwhat
Mr. Lincoln so firmly declared as
this scourge of war' might awns pass
away and that a reunited ' country
might be realised, congress placed no
limitations upon the act, upon th (ex
ercise of the discretion of any state In
seleoting thee# persons who ndt 'may
'deem to be worthy of this national
commemoration.’
"It. to now 45 years since the civil
war oloeed. Robert E. Lee has come
to b« generally regarded
lug not only all that waa best In the
cause to which was the best of his
in statuary hall of the national capi
tol of the statue of Robert E. Lee,
clothed in the Confederate uniform.'
