It Is the FIGHTING THE PUBLIC EX- PLOITERS. Ex-President Roosevelt definitely ai- iigned himself with the most progres sive element of his party, so far as conservation of national natural re sources is concerned, in his address at Denver on Tuesday. No one, not even Pinahot. has spoken with more direct ness or with greater forcefu’.ness on the necessity of protecting the public domains from the encroachments of self-seeking individuals and grasping corporations, working to promote their own financial Interests without regard to tie public weal. Speaking of the class who are seeking to seize the mineral wealth yet undeveloped and the great sources of water power throughout the land, in anticipation of the fabulous fortunes that are to come from ti.'eir exploita tion, the former president said: "Now, these may he good citizens according to their lights, but naturally enough their special interests obscure their sense of the public need and as the'.r WANTTOMHUDSON FOR GOVERNOR IN 1912 Many Look Toward Him As Next Candidate. There Is a strong feelisg throughout the state in favor of Commissioner of Agriculture Tom Hudson as the gov ernor to succeed Hon. Hoke- Smith Everywhere the suggestion of bis name as the DSmocratlc candidate In 1912 has awakened a favorable and enthus iastic response. The prevalent and growing feeling is well shown In the following editorial from the- Grittii Herald: "We are glad that the diffsreacea that have existed between Governor's Smith and Brown have been settled Tor all time to come and naturally enough the people have already begun to think of who will be the next to succeed Gov- . . n.i ernor Smith'two years hence, provid- object U to escape an efficient control | * _... . . , , . „ 1 ed he is not a candidate himself, they clamor to be put under the state victory this fall, then there is certain ly no place for Mr. Bryan in th'is new order.

Nearly every boy who has, “ground Itch” will scratch the in fected spots on his feet. If a boy is given t the habit of biting his finger pails he is sure to introduce the hook worm germs from bis feet into his system. Armed as the hook-worm is, even in its undeveloped form, with tiny hooks at its mouth, it fastens itself to the membrane of the upper intestine, in this way robbing tbe human being the proverbal mill-stone about th-i neck of th'e democratic party. THE COMET AGAIN.' The comet again! That is what one enterprising -l.i- trftnomer promises us, and this same astronomer tells us now in a suave manner that we have beep, badly fool ed all the time if we thought that the comet that came our way last May was really Halley's comet. Professor Marchand, a Frenchman, is the student of the skies who now instead of the nation. If we are foolish enough to grant their requests we shall have ourselves to blame when we wake up and find that we have per mitted another privilege to Intrench it self and another portion of what should be kept for the public good to' be turn ed over to individuals for purposes o! private enrichment.” On tlie whole Roosevelt’s speech was a plea for national control and regula tion of the public resources, such -as the great forest lands, the grazing lands, and the water powers of the entire country. Where state control will be effective he expressed his ad vocacy of state control, but he indicat ed quite clearly the belief that with few exception's safety for the pub’le lay only in national control. In this conectlon he said: “Remember also that many of the men who protest loudly against ef fective national action would be the Everybody proclaims to tie weary ot politics and to a limited extent every body has had an elegant sufficeney of the active, working, and surging pol itics and demand a rest of that variety for a whole year at least, but at the same time the people are keeping an eye on the next campaign and are right now forming opinions that will be fol lowed In the next primary. “The great strength and back-bone of Georgia Democracy la In the farmers of the state.

Indifference on the part of those oflllcted is the chief thing which has to be combatted. The treatment is simple and inexpensive. It requires only two or three days to expel the parasites from the system, the total treatment not costing more than a dollar or two. In fact, the ac tual medicine employed in the treat ment may he obtained for about fifty or seventyfive cents. The Rockefeller scientists should do much good by arousing interest in the eradication of the disease and by giv ing free treatment to those who are unable to pay far It.

It serves as a check upon the power of the controll ing faction, giving a balance wheel that is a safeguard against too radical action. This is especially true with reference to the relationship of tlio minority faction In the present con vention. It Is the avowed purpose of the Brown men In the convention not to attempt to hamper or to obstruct lit any way the carrying out of the ideas of Mr. Smith as they have been prev iously voiced in the Macon convention, or os they will be supplemented in the present convention.
