e offices of the state.
South Georgia has been patient and
long suffering. It has borne toe srunt
battle, it has never wavered in its
allegiance to democracy, and it Ui3
r after year permitted itself to b:
despoiled of a reasonable share ot the
lonors that go with political control
of the state. When the populist move
ment was sweeping over North and
Middle Georgia, rf.a Macedonian cry
went out from Atlanta to South Geor
gia to save the day. South Georgia
rolled up its old time democrats ma
jorities—and kept the Nortif Geur-
ians in office.
It is not wise to stir up a sectional
feeling in addition to a factional feel
ing in a great state like this. Yet it
is not right that South Georga should
fold its hands, humbly, sink Into the
rear pew. and thank God that North
Georgia condescends to give to It a few
minor clerkships or a secretaryship
in an executive office, while North
Georgia takes the senatorships, ths
governorship, the presidency of the
senate and the speakership of the
house, with seventy-five per cent, of
the other patronage. Self respect de
mands that South Georgia assert its
rights and demand, in no uncertain
tones, that it be accorded full recog
nition artd a full meed of the honors
of the party to which it contributes
half of tbe votes and to which, in ths
hour of greatest need, it proved a ver
itable Gibraltar of strength.
North Georgia should have tae
common political decency and sense
to drop cut of the race for the pres!
deucy of the senate and accord this
honor to South Georgia. It shouj.l
realize that South Georgia is a young
giant, that the feeling ot soreness is
one that easily spreads and becom
an Irresistible Impulse to square a
counts af the first opportune time.
Refuse South Georgia- proper recog
nition. rob tit of the honors that
should come to It, and the day will
come, and that not far distant, when
there will be a reversal of conditions
that have been continued for so many
years, when South Georgia will rise, in
its might, take control of the stats
and* give to North Georgia a dose of
the treatment that has been accorded
to South! Georgia for nigh on to a half
century.,
South Georgia Is unquestyaably en
titled to the presidency of the senate
Even then it gets but a small part
of the honors and patronage /that
should come to it. North Georgia will
then have the governorship and the
speakership. That should suffice it.
The newspapers of .South Georg
should sound the slogan and arouse
a sufficient intensity of spirit in their
respective local-ties to Insure the re
cognition of the claims tof this see
tlon. If tbe newspapers are indiffer
ent and the people supine we need ex

In a contest between employer ami
employe—a corporation .and a trade!
union—not only t'he interests of
these two, 'but the interests of the
third party—(the public—must be con
sidered. Anything like levity in pro
voking a strike on the one hand or >ti
the other, is certain more and more to
be resented by the public. Strikes are
sometimes necessary and proper, some
times they represent the only way in
which after all other methods have
been exhausted, it is possible for the
laboring man to stand for his rights,
but it must be clearly understood that
a strike Is a matter of last resort. Our
social organization is too complex for
us to fail quickly to condemn those
who, with levity or in spirit of wanton
brutality, bring about far-reaching
and disastrous and interference with
Its normal process. The public sym

seven for complete rest. Where men
and women are worked under harsh

secure no relief without a strike, o;
indeed, where the strike is clearly un

necessary—and then only as a last re
