THE ATLANTA JOURNAL.
We regret to see that the Atlanta
Journal—our friend and colleague In
many a hard fought, bottle—la about
to let Ita zenl on the freight rate tight
In Atlanta get the better of Ita temper
and Judgment. For aome daya past. In
fact for aevera! weeka, it haa been ex
hibiting unreaaonable impatience with
tftote newspaper* In the atata, outside
of Atlanta, that do not see aome an-
pecta of the caae n* It aeea them. It
does not meet fairly, or at all. tha ob
jection-made In Macon, Athena, Au
gusta, Columbus and Savannah, that
the State Railroad Commission's cir
cular SOI discriminates In favor of
Atlanta and against the other cities
named. When the newspapers repre
senting these cities point out their side
of it, the Journil exhibits Intolerance
and seeks—not to analyse the factn
to get at the truth-but to Impeach
by unsupported and unwarranted as
sertions their motives. Several times
recently It haa by Insinuations ns-
Mtled the character and good name of
« rry newspaper In the state that oan-
sot that circular SOI Is the proper
thing for them to hurrah over.
This ta not like the Journal. We
would not tMlUvo It If we had not seen
It several times In its columns with
our own eyes.
Now The Telegraph refers to this
matter because It has a character to
maintain and a soul to eave, and be
cause It has pointed out that circular
SO! gives Atlanta an advantage over
Macon, and over Athena, Columbus,
Augusta and Savannahs Others have
also kicked. The Savannah Chamber
of Commerce made petition, backed up
by argument before the Commission,
to have circular SOI repealed. The
Telegraph, on October IS, gave tho
i< iM>na why It was disposed to object
It said In part:
The t<re»<»nt Injunction milt In a suit by
the mllr«"»n«le to prevent the execution, or
the putting In operation of circular 801,
leeue.l by the railroad romtnlwilon. Thli
circular, which would have t*een effective
Keotember 2Mh. but for the Injunction,
reduced rmtea on certain manufactured
articles twtween Atlanta as a center
word* rates were reduced from Atlanta
to Macon nnd fnmi Macon to Atlanta
rates were rediirsd.from Atlanta to Ath
ens. Auanata and f'otumtnia, and from
Atftena, Aufftiata nnd Cnlumbua to Atlan
ta; but not between Mm-mm nnd Athena,
M and Augusta, or Macon nnd Co-
1 umbua; nor between Athens and Augus
ta. or Athena nnd Columbus, und so on.
Atlanta sol n reduction to tha four cities
named but the four cities named got a
reduction to Atlanta only, and not a re-
ductlan aa between themselves. Atlanta's
rate to Columbus, for Inntanca. was re
duce,!, hut Macon's rate to Columbus was
tun reduced) neither was Macon'a rate
to Augusta or Athene reduced, while At
1’ ota'a was. Aa with Macon, ao It wai
with Athena, Augusta and Columbus. At
lanta. therefore, was made the huh of tho
wheel: It got the big end of the new deal
over the other four cities lust In the pro-
portion aa 4 la to \. Mocon got a reduc
tion to one point—Atlanta. Atlanta got
a reduction to four points Macon Alh
ena. Augusta and Columbus The nsw
rate lave to Atlanta cunufacturers and

Pggp. Athens. Augusta and
chants In
Cotumln
year-old school boy, with ordinary
would know that whatever gen-
ral reduction In rates Atlanta can se
cure, will necessarily result In benefit
to the entire state." This may be trno'
we grant two things* <t) that At-
ta Is Georgia, and (2) that the
hool boy*' Is an Atlanta boy. But
outside of Atlanta, the first proposition
111 not be accepted, nor the conclu
sion of a "fifteen-year-old" Atlanta
boy. Tho Atlanta school boys must be
doing some of the newspaper writing
in the capital city Just now.
Although intensely loyal to its own
home city The Telegraph freely con
dos that Atlanta is Georgia's great
est nnd most progressive city. She be
longs to Georgia. Rut we resent the
Insinuation that Georgia belongs to
Atlanta. We shall resent with all of
our strength the Implication that At
lanta shall absorb Georgia, and break
down the cornmerclul Interests of other
communities.
\<• one has yet said that Is n
true statement «.f the case, hut answer
1* made by Innuendo. In general hyi
• rlcal Until the assertion Is Iterated,
Mi.d reiterated, that this Is a fight, not
1 >r Alla i ta alone, but for the whole o
ti'-nrui i i statement which can b

In the who! • state. And this latter
I'rop'isuien Macon. Athens, Augusta,
r- •vnnnnh and Columbus, which are
discriminated against, will not assent
to at the risk of being outlawed by
the Journal. • :-WtM
Not only has The Telegraph shown
that circular 101 says "turkey" for
Atlanta every time, and "buxaard"for
the other cities named, but It haa
pointed out the danger to the smaller
cities and towns In Georgia If the
principle Is to bg re-established, after
so long a time, that tha larger city
shall have freight rata advantages
over the smaller ones without regard
to distance to basing points
on deep water. In other words, as
we have shown. If Atlanta la to have
adtantages over Macon, Athena, Au
gusta and Columbus In freight rates.
It wlU be a long step In the direction
*®f overcoming the "long and tho short
haul** principle In our law, and a rel
ative advantaga must follow to Macon.
Augusta and Columbus over cities
and towns in this state of the smaller
class, such as Hswklnsvllle. Amertcua,
Albany and Cordele. Put we'have ex
pressed the conviction that "the peo-
11# of Georgia" art not "behind" any
movement looking in lhat direction.
Atla
notwithstanding th< H
the contrary.
Just as no one has

ROUOH ON R008EVELT.
Mr. Joseph 8. Auerbach, of the
Ir-brnted New York law firm. Is rough
on President Roosevelt, but Justly so
In his article In the November North
American Review discussing the Issues
before the people In the present cam
paign.
In a most pointed and forcible man
ner Mr. Auerbach presents the objec
tions of the Democratic party to Pres
ident Roosevelt's usurpation In the
matter of pension orders, to his part
In the Panama scandal, nnd to his
position and that of his jtorty on the
Philippine question nnd the tariff. He
demonstrates that the pension order Is
one In substanco and even In lan
guage with the House bill which
Hpenker Cannon put aside, und that
this order was no less "a piece of
executive legislation." He then asks
whether m* an original proposition the
people of this country would elect as
president a man who ahould dare to
announce In ndvance his Intention to
perpetrate Such an encroachment upon
the law-making power.
The same question Is put to liber
ty and Justice loving people In con
nection with the Panama affair. After
presenting the true history of our gov
ernment's relations with the United
mates of Colombia nnd Its seceding
state of Pannma, and not neglecting to
reveal the, Rough Rider's close con
nection with the sham revolution, Mr.
Auerbach asks whether the people of
this country would be rendy to elect
man president upon such original
propositions In a republican platform
as the following:
That Its candidate for president of the
United Mate*. If elected, would seek to
increase our rommerrlal prosperity by
promoting tho building of the Psnamn
ranal. If possible, by treaty with Colom
bia; that If he failed In this he would re-
ftieo to obey ths Apnnner act, which en
joined his then entering upon negotia
tions for the construction of the Nica
ragua rsnalt that If In the course of the
negotiations with Colombia that part of
Colombia within which la Included tho
Panama route should revolt, he would
forthwith recognise the Insurgents sa a
republic, and that If Colombia should then
seek to repossess Itself of the revolted ter
ritory the president of the United Htstes,
under the guise and pretenee— for It Is
nothing else-of keeping a covenant of
peace under n treaty to ths rights of
which Colombia had succeeded, would hy
threats nnd force of srms and by a bold
usurpation of authority vested only In
congress, to all Intents ntnl purposes de
clare war upon Colombia and forbid tluit
attempt; that the Republican party
would, thereupon, put a premium of
fto.ooft.ouo upon rebellion, by a payment
of that sum to a band of Insurgents; and,
lastly, and worst of all. that Ihls rouraa
toward a weak slater nation would be
defended on the ground that such nation
was obdurate and unreasonable; and that
any other course the construction of
Inter-ocean waterway would have
been long postponed.
Well may Mr. Auerbach ask: "Would
ths people then elect Roosevelt on such
an Issue? Would they vote for that
kind of a cnnal ?*' They would not, we
may be sure, and we may be equally
sure that, outside of hide hound par
tisans, only those will attempt to elect
him on the eighth of November who
have hnd the dust thrown Into their
eyes by the specious reasonings of the
Advocates of the party In power.
I MORE MISREPRESENTATION.
That there ahould be a certain
amount of deliberate misrepresenta
tion on both sides In every campaign
Is Inevitable, but there are eminently
respectable men on both sides who are
believed to be above euchg disgraceful
methods. Kx-l*rvsldent Cleveland, for
example, does not misrepresent, la not
suspected of even a dealre to do so,
and so far aa ws are aware has not
been accused of doing so even by the
bitterest partisan. Secretary Hay, on
the Republican aide, la widely respect
ed and he also la supposed to be above
such contemptible methods.
Yet Secretary Hay has misrepresent
ed Judge Parker and the position of
the Democrats, and If wt are loath to
charge him with the deliberate Inten
tion of doing so, we must at least re
mark that It la high time for him to
acquaint himself with the real facts.
Speaking In New York a few days
since Secretary Hay said: "Judge Par
•r tells us that the Philippines have
st us 800.060 Uves." The secretary
then pointed out that this Is an error
of about 1*5.006. What Judge Parker
tally said wia, not that the Philip-
>lr.ea had "cost us** but that they had
'cost* 860.600 lives, including in the
tstlmat* Filipino as well as American
Ivee end the contingent losses as well
is the losses In battle.
Keeping In view Judge Parker's
idaln and unequivocal meaning, any
>ne who knows anything of the facta
will admit that this estimate Is a per
fectly reasonable one. Put It pleased
Secretary Hey to overlook thq fact
ibet the dead Filipinos had been count
ed also, and this perhaps for two rea
sons, one of which is that with Repub
licans the FUlpInos, whether dead or
alive, "don't count"
Secretary Hay also said that the
Democrats have "come out daily for
the Immediate abandonment of Ike
Philippines," which is not true. The
Democrats have declared wot In favor
of the "Immediate abandonment"
tho Philippines but of armours tag at
- I he carl Mot possible data that It Is Ihr
-1 purpose of this government to give tho
VUtgtaM
can be done with safety. In Other words
the Democrats are In favor of promis
ing tho Filipinos Independence, while
Republicans are not In favor cf
giving them any auch pledge. _
With auch a man as Secretary Hay
putting words into Judge Parker's
mouth which he did not utter, and
reading Into the Democratic platform
what Is not there, what Is to be ex
pected of Republican orators who are
both less eminent and less respected?
In his defense' of the president's un
warranted assumption of authority In
accepting from the kalset' the statue
of Frederick the Great without referr
ing the matter to congress as the law
provides, Senator Dodge says that "the
president of the United States is a gen
tleman," the United States Itself "Is a
gentleman," and therefore the gift of
the kaiser could not be declined. Live
and learn. We had always supposed
that the "gentleman" was much more
particular than the other fellow about
accepting questionable gifts because
of the embarrassing obligations they
might Involve.
Samar la Inhabited by some half
