Governor Brown's message and let
ter to the people of Georgia Is a very
satlsfactorv document as regards the
issues of the campaign as they are be
ing carried out by the friends of. the
governor. They afe clearly and force
fully stated and carry conviction with
them.
With the intention ct discarding the
unimportant issues ol the campaign.
Governor Brown has selected the gist
of the matters that are of the greatest
importance to the people of the state
and has discussed them briefly and l/i
masterly manner. He shows that the
ue and cry* that has been raised by
the Smith forces relative to the regis
tration law has nothing In It beyond a
misrepresentation of facts, as the only-
objection that was brought against the
law In the legislature was that the
time of registration as fixed at six
months was too long and should be
changed to thirty days.
The subservlenoy of the members of
the railroad commission to the whims
of Mr. Smltti, according to the views
of the duties of the commission a3
he'.d by Mr. Smith iwhen he was gov
ernor, come in for a share of the con
sideration given to the Waycross ut
terances of the ex-governor. Governor
Brown stiows clearly that under the
action of the commission the people of
the state are now saving more than a
million dollars in lessened charges U
transportation, while the action of
Governor Brown while he was a mem-
iber of Hie commission Has .been up
held by the members of the commis
sion appointed by Governor Smith.
A vigorious defence of the plan of
paying the teachers of the state as
proposed Iby Governor Brown as the
only practical one Is also made In the
letter In a way that Is indisputable and
convincing. A stinging rebuke Is giv
en to the Indiscriminate and reckless
charges made by the Smith forces that
the voters who elected Governor
Brown at tee last election are “rail
road ringsters,” ‘■hoboes,’’ "bums,''
'■liquor dealers,” or, as the modified
terras now being used by the Smith
men have It, "reactionists." Very
tersely and convincing and by the use
of the actual statistics in the matter,
Governor Brown shows conclusively
that though he received a large vote la
the cities when be was elected before,
that he was nevertheless electeJ
mainly by the vote of the farmers of
the state. Governor Brown gives a
knock-out blow to the wild and Irra
tional charges relative to this whlci
have been repeated time and again
during the. present campaign by the
Smith speakers on the stump.
The final consideration given by
the governor Is to the one great Issue
that includes all the others, the fact
that “Ex-Governor Smith’s contention
Is that his policies must have •preced
ence over the platform of the demo
cratic party, and that his will must
supplant that of the people of Georgia."
That Is the great Issue of the cam
paign, declares Governor Brown. He
stresses the Independence of tbe Insti
tutions and the government of tho
state, which he has endeavored to
maintain and support and in conclus
ion expresses faith In the people to re
elect him to thie governorship at the
coming primary.
The tone of the entire message is
one of sincerity and manliness, which
has characterized Goverflor Brown In
all of his ofilclal acts. He stands now,
as he did before, for prosperity and
constructive government, which has
been exemplified admirably by his ad
ministration. The Governor’s utter
anccs are eminently clear and satisfac
tory, and they characterize an admin
istration that the people of Georgia
will approves at the polls on Augus
23.

A TIMELY AUTOMOBILE LAW.
Local automibKe enthusiasts will be
Interested in the passage by the gen
eral assembly of the bill Introduced by
representatives from several counties
of the state to require state registra
tion of automobiles in '»eu of the
municipal registration now required.
The need of such a law became man
ifest with the general introduction of
the automobile In the state, and It was
Imperative that such legislation be
enacted. The fact that the law has
not been passed until now has given
time for Hue needs of the situation to
become manifest and to be more
thoroughly gauge! by the legislators
than would have been possible had this
legislation been undertaken earlier.
The automobile Is a vehicle . that
practically annihilates distance, giv
en good roads and a dependable ma
chine, so that the passage of automo
biles from one section of the state to
•he other has become general. Only a
state reglstratlou of automobiles 'Will
adequately meet the requirements of
the conditions that now prevail and
which will be accentuated and empha
sized as time passes. The bill whtc.i
has passed the general assembly can
not fall to meet with the approval of
the people of the state, though It ca.i
hardly be expected to cover entirely
conditions which change so rapidly as
to make further changes in the pro
visions of the law necessary from-time
to time.
Under tUo provisions of tho law It la
made a mlsdemeantr for any person-
to operate a machine without the ap-j
proval of the owner. This Is a salutary
provision and one which will meet,
with hearty approval. No lntoxloated
person Is permitted to operate a ma
chine, and no person under sixteen
years of age, unless he has had a year's
experience, and is accompanied by
the owner. The law also provides for
a reasonable rate of 3peed to be main
tained at all times, while It Is expect-1
ed that the speed should not be more ^
than 6 miles per hour when an auto
mobile approaches a crossing, bridge
or railroad. Each automobile must
have a number obtained from the sec
retary of state And conspicuously dis
played. As a further protection to
the automobllists. It is made unlawful

IMITATION SIM'EREST FLATTERY.
(Mascen Telegraph.)
That ls a great tribute to Joseph M.
Brown which) ex-Gavernlr Smith and
some of his leaders -Sre paying to
the governor In their efforts to Imi
tate his campaign if two years ago.
They no longer sneer at the “lioks"
of Brown. No longer ask. “have ylq
seen him ” No longejt charge ment’.l
Incapacity, and no longer lnsfnuate
ugly and nasty things. That Is, they
do nit do these thlng3 out In the
open. They have learned a lesson
and apparently are trying to practise
lt for necessity's sake, but the cost
does not lit them. Their effort, are
superficial. But the compliment to
the governor Is Just tee same.
The fire of denunciation anil damna
tion which so characterized mist of
their speakers two years ago ls lack
ing, except In one local Instance, si
far as we know.
If fir nothing else. Brown deserves
the thanks and the votes of the peop'e
if Georgja fir this lesson he has taught
the fire-eaters.

zens to Georgia nil would be one of
greatest advertisements the *a!e

A facetious American ottizen saps
has a quotation that applies, as he
views It. with peculiar force to Hoke
Smith. It Is from Lowell, and Is as
follows:
But consistency still wuz a part ot his
plan—
He'd ben true to ONE party, an' thet
U himself.
There's a lot of noise behind the
Smith campaign. August 23 Is apt to
demonstrate Use absence of sufficient
votes.
Some of Gov.. Brown’s expressions,
In his letter to the public, must have
cut through a certain geiV-oman's hide
about as a bullet from the latest high
power rifle cuts through the hide of a
rhinoceros. They must have cut and
they must have stung.
While the attempted assassination of
Mayor Gaynor was a personal matter
with the man who fired the shot, he
undoubtedly expressed In his pistol
the hostile sentiment against the May
or on the part of many office holders
whom he has compelled to give to the
public a fair measure of service far
the money paid them. One bane of
American politics is the vast armr ol
city employes giving but a small
turn for the salaries paid th<em. This
clast resents every effort to enforce a
change with regard to their privileges
to rob the public.
