EDITORIAL NOTES.
The Atlanta Georgian is to be
commended for its serial publica¬
tion of “The Jungle,” by Upton
Sinclair, the book which has led to
such a stir in the beef trust scan¬
dals. The book is doubtless the
most widely read of any other at
the present time, and while expo
sure ot the packing house methods
has been praised, its plea for social
ism has been criticised, as marring
its effect a work of art. However
that may be it is a great book, and
incalculable good has resulted in
its starting a crusade against a
business that is nothing short of
-murder.
***
The Terry boom seems to have
suffered a collapse. His return to
Atlanta is vigorously opposed even
by the ministers of Atlanta them
selves. Such men as Drs. White
and Landrum now declare that
Torrey m Atlanta has proved a
failure. Then all that great relig
iims hurrah has melted into thin
uirl The thousands that were
-said to have affiliated with the
churches, according to Dr. White
were perhaps less than 200. If
what these men say is true, what
a much-ado about nothing were the
great Torrey revivals.
***
Radicalism in this country is
moving with acceleration on many
questions. In politics this is es¬
pecially noticeable in the case of
Mr. Bryan. The man who a few
years ago was denounced as a so¬
cialist, or a populist is now called
a conservative, and yet, Mr. Bry¬
an hinfself says that he has tbied
to see the distinction between de¬
mocracy and socialism. The per¬
son to make an effort to see such
distinction certainly has mover
somewhat- from his former
ings. A 9 far back as four
ago, Mr. Bryan would not
hesitated in his opinions
ing socialistic and democratic
erences, if we are to judge by
speeches and writings of
years.
***
How to prevent pauperism
invalidity is an important
for sociologists. In
there has been passed what
called the Working men’s
tory Insurance Law. Certain
ses tnder this law earning less
$500 are compelled to insure
selves against illness, and it
said that in certain
fifty per cent of the employees
contracted consumption or
came incapacitated for work.
This cost so much money that,
a matter of economy, the
iums paid into the
a nee offices were finally used to
build sanitariums with the result
that . t the , law
is proving a success.
Had this plan not been adopted
the scheme would have fallen
through. There is an object
on hero in the matter of sanita
tion which should be considered
every nation. The health of a
tion's subjects is of tne
importance.

The world is patiently
1 r the news which will announce
the clash between the Russian gov
• rnment and the Douma. The
situation is a trying one, and the
•onflict may not come, but if the
facts in history are to be applied
to the present condition of Rus¬
sian affairs, we believe that a
peaceful settlement between the
Czar and parliament is out of the
question; that nothing will settle
their differences except blood and
much of it.
One will recall to mind the
propositions and counter proposi-
THE GUBERNATORIAL WAR
(By a Noti 'Combatant.)
Sdid Clark unto Hoke,
“You’re a fake and a joke,
I know what you are,
With your charity Bar,
You’re a sneak and a frog,
And a base demagogue,
It’s a Populist trick,
And you need a swift kick.”
Said Hoke unto Clark,
“Your friend Hamp is a lark,
You’re a railroad gossoon,
And you cling to the coon,
You’re a swine in disguise,
And I’ll black both your eyes,
Just step out in the park,”
Said Hoke unto Clark.
Said both unto each,
“You’re a bird and a peach,
A liar, a thief,
And a cannibal chief,”
And the public stands by,
With a wink o’ the eye,
And wonders forsooth
If they both tell the truth.
RURAL ROUTE CHANGES.
Some few weeks ago The Enter¬
prise published the changes recent¬
ly inaugerated in the R. F. D.
routes from this office. Congress¬
man Livingston cut the item from
The Enterprise and enclosed it to
the Fost Office Department and de¬
manded an explanation of the ac¬
tion of the Department. The an¬
swer of P. V. DeGrand, he en¬
closed to The Enterprise, and
asked if the the changes were sat¬
isfactory to the people of the
county.
We give the above that the peo¬
ple of this county may know how
closely our Congressman watches
our interests. Not one soul had
written him requesting him to in¬
vestigate tLis matter; his people
were affected by the change; that
was enough to interest him with¬
out being requested to investigate
by a constituent.
We have made inquiry from
those who live on the routes and
so far, we have seen no one dissat¬
isfied. Some say fthlt they re¬
hours ceive the earlier mail than somtj two did or three
they before
the change. The <Jne route cut off
entirely does not hurt the mail
service at all; as it did nothing
but get the mail to the loop routes
We would like very much to
hear from those living on the
routes ns to how they like the
change. We do not care to hear
from any one having fancied com¬
plaints to make; we want to know
if the service is as satisfactory
now as before.
Let us say that we are not the ones
to “slobber” over any one, but we
know that we have the best rep
resentative from this district that
Georgia sends to the Lower House.
Following the Flag.
When our soldiers went to Cuba
and the Philippines, health was
the most important consideration.
Willis T. Morgan, retired Com¬
missary Sergeart U. S. A., of
Ruial Route 1, Concord, N. H.,
says: “I was two years in Cuba
and two years in the Philippines,
and being subject to colds, I took
Dr. King’s New Discovery for
Consumption, which kept me] in
perfect health. And now, in New
Hampshire, we find it the best
medicine in the world fur coughs,
colds, bronchial troubles and all
lung diseases. Guaranteed at

Take The Enterprise foi the news
tions whsch were made by the
king of Erance and the represen¬
tative assemblies just prior to
Fremch Revolution when the
ablest statesmen were unable to
stay the coming storm. It was
impossible to secure concessions
from stubborn and unreasonable
men whose passions were aroused
to the highest pitch, so time and
wholesale slaughter finally settled
what could not be adjusted in any
other way.
It seems to us that P.us3ia pre
seats a parallel case. The Czar
like Louis XVI is evidently weak
ening white the Douma is becom
ing more defiant every day.
Then the tax and land questions
present similar features for deter
ruination, and so great are the
difficuties for solution that no one
is likely to come upon the scene
capable of pleasing both sides,
A Caesar or a Napoleon may
come later when force will rule
and bloodshed the order of the day.
