A FLIM8Y EXCUSE.
Ohlo'a record for mob vlolenoo la
even worae than outsiders have sup
posed, If Mr. Henry J. Booth of Colum-
boa, Ohio may be regarded aa an ac
curate and Impartial witness. In the
courae of a recent addreaa delivered by
him before the Ohio State Bar Aasocia-
tlon he aald:
• Since the war Judge Lynch hna ex
tended hl» Jurisdiction to many of the
northern states. Including Ohio. Many
outrages of that character have occurred
In thta state during the laat twenty jeers.
Th# Immediate result* are #o startling
ae to arreet the attention of every law-
abiding cltlaen—public property destroyed
to the value of nearly a million dollar*'
more than 200 person* killed and Injured
sheriff* and pollen officer* in more t'nnn
one-fourth of the countte* of the statu
playing at the game of •hlde-and-go-neck*
with the mob; public authority defied;
dynamite, fire, the rope, nrearm* and bat
tering rama eub-tltutcd for the orderly
admlnl«trat|nn of Justl'c: gnvernora nr>-
paaltng for order and hurrying troop*,
at the expense of the state, to the soent-a
of violence; public building* and rrcordu
destroyed; public ofltrlnla threatened amt
overawed by howling mob*; court* con-,
vened under the protection of military
authority; cltlxena driven from their
home*; mi*lne*a paralysed; court* defied
and their authority flouted openly and
with Impunity bjf hundred* or thousands
of frenzied men; helpless victim* butch
ered and mutllnfhd. with an exhtMtpni of
flendl-h barbarity almost beyond bollof
and the prote«i» and pita* of iiw-abldlng
men drowned In a saturnnli* of lawless-
ness, prompted by a thirst for blood.
Mr. Booth la probably aura of Ms
facta and wa have n) deatra to ques
tion them. What wa do object to la hla
ridiculous attempt to blumo thn Month
and excuse Ohio on the ground that
the pioneers who settled the southern
part of that state some generations
ago came from Virginia and Ken
tucky. He might aa well blame the
* English people of the present day for
the faults exhibited by aome of tho
New England descendants of the Pu
ritans
Nor do the facte support him when
he Intimates that the mob violence
which he so graphically describes haa
been confined to the southern portion
of the state. The moat shocking out
break that w# can now recall waa at
Akron, where about three yeara ago
the mob burned the city hell in Its
frentled efforts to wrest from tha nu
thorttles a negro accused of the usual
crime, and Akron la In northeastern
Ohio within a few miles of Cleveland
on Lake Erie, the moat populous city
of the state. We might add that If
Ohio haa been contaminated by pio
neers who went there from Kentucky
and Virginia a centuty ago, It la
■grange that the mighty Influence of
these pioneers has not extended to pol
itics and cut down Ohlo'a overwhelm
ing Republican majority.
A FUTILE APPEAL.
Kx-Oovemor BoutwelL of Massa
chusetts, former secretary of the treat-
| ury and senator in congress, and one
of the founders of the Republican
party, la now supporting the Demo
| crattc candidate for presidenL ](a
does this because he advocates Inde
pendence for the Filipino# *and exe-
* crates the Republican policy of keeping
them In subjection. He thinks the
negroes of the United (Rates should
follow bis example and writes a letter
to the •’Afro-American” New Y<
Age urging them to do so.
He thinks the black men of America
should sympathise with the brown
men of the Philippines and that the
freedom of the latter should be dear
to the former. He calls upon the form
er to turn away from that inconsistent
party which championed the rights
American ex-slaves but now will i
admit that the Filipino* have any Hght
to liberty and Independence.
It is doubtful if this appeal will
have much cffecL Uneducated
gross know nothing about the Filip!
not, and the educated ones have shown
no sign that they care any more about
the rights of the islanders than white
Republicans do. The leaders of the
American negroes evidently are not
concerned with the rights or wrongs
of the Ftlfpinoe. but with their
affairs. They want offices and social
advancement, and aa long aa they con 1
tlnue to expect such reward from the
Republican party they are not likely
to trouble themselves about that party'
inconsistencies. From President Roose
veil they expect not only offices but
social recognition, and It la Idle for
cx-Govemor Bout well to point out to
them that the •’party of moral Ideas’*
has fallen away from Its old standards.
Weeks ago the New York Herald
(Ind.) declared for Parker and gav
Its reasons for not being able to #up<
port Roosevelt Borne days since the
same paper expressed the con vie
that the Republicans would win.
Wednesday, however, the llerali
printed the following. "Alarmed t
the Indications of the tv end toward the
Democratic nominees for president
for governor of New York state,
shown by the Herald's non-part
postal card poll la New York city, th
leaders of the Republican state
county organisations put on dost
pressure yesterday.** Evidently
n .raid's hopes have risen, as the i

ATLANTA’S RATE FIGHT AGAIN.
The Atlanta Journal la exercised be
cause The Telegraph pointed out the
fact that the Railroad Commission’s
circular 801 gave Atlanta an advan
tage over other Georgia cities, Macon
being one of them, and because The
Telegraph characterised the Atlanta
fight for that circular aa being pure
ly an Atlanta enterprise In Atlanta's
Interest.
We see no reason to withdraw eith
er of theae statements. The Tele
graph has made dear the one f«ct.
and the Atlanta papers the other.
But the Journel declares that circu
lar 801 "la not a part of Atlanta's light,
and cannot be fairly used a* an argu
ment to sustain tha contention that
Atlanta Is seeking advantage over the
rest of the state." This is something
new. Thera have been tons of matter
printed in the Atlanta papers about
this fight, aeveral bales of which we
have not read, and none of which have
we kept on file; but we recall many
lurid things said 'about the case In
court-circular 801. One of the papers
talked about what they would do "If
they were defeated in every court from
Atlanta to Washington." Another
spoke of a card now hid which would
be played to "force" the roada, if this
case went agalnat Atlanta.
After declaring that circular 801 was
not Atlanta’s fight, the Journal en
tered Into a discussion of Interstate
rates—a question which the Telegraph
haa nelthsr discussed nor Investigated.
If Birmingham. Montgomery, Chatta
nooga and Nashville gej lower rates
from basing points on tho Ohio river
than "Georgia cities" we presume it Is
these places are nearer to tho
QgitO river points. If this Is not so,
or If it Is so and not just, thorn Is an
Intefatato Commission to which appeal
atipbld bo made. We know of no oth
er ■ recourse. Wo could not join the
Atlanta papers, if we entirely agreed
with them about circular 801, In the
kind of crusade they are operating.
They art doing not only Atlanta but
I hi* whole state harm. There Is a
peaceful, lawful way to get justice in
thl* country. But when ons wants
more than that which Is just ho re
sorts to bluff, bluster, hold-ups and
the like. We warn our Atlanta broth
ren that the manner of their warfare
not Impressing favorably the con-
^crvetlve-mlnded, thinking people
Georgia. If the Interstate rates are
not Just there Is a better way to cor
rect them than by calling on tho news-
paper* out side of Atlanta to help
lash tha railroads Into sullen-
ness and the populace Into fury. The
Telegraph will not be a party to that
kind of crusade.
Only yesterday a prominent cUllftn
of lower Georgia called on Th* Tele
graph to say that he deeply regretted
the Atlanta newspaper method of at
tack, and that he was pleased that the
Telegraph took no part In It. Ho had
just returned from New York where
he had gone In the endeavor to In
terest capital In a projected Georgia
eniterprlgf. He met every where a flat
refusal on the ground of the Atlanta
crusade. They were afretd, they Bald,
put their money In thta state.
If the Journal hpd read even care
lessly our remnrks It must have seen
that our expreaelon, "unsupported and
unwarranted," out of which it tries to
make so much, was made to apply to
attack on Georgia newspapers, and
not on any other contention It had
made. The Journal Is - unfair in Its
twist of *that rtonnrk. It should read
more carefully.
The Journal declares that circular
801 "will In A measure offset Inter-
stnte discriminations.** In thn flr*t
place we do not see how thn elate
commission can enter the ephere
the Interstate commission and legislate
retaliatory njeasurea-^eepeclally when
the iwirtlcular measure (circular 800
’offseta" by giving one favored spot
Atlsnta—an advantage over four sis
ter cities disfavored. It Is robbing
tour Peters to pay one Paul. But
are assured that If Atlsnta can win
this fight over the four other Georgia
cities, the "principle" will be extended
end widened. Exactly what that
means we do not know, unless It lq
promise thst the four cities of Ma
con. Athens, Augusta and Columbus
shell have just such sn advantage over
lesser Georgia cities end towns aa At
lanta shall have over them. If thla Is
Jt U then It Is to be a plunge Into an
uncertain futurity which we cannot
fathom. We would Uke to get near
enough to It to see the color of its eyes
before we .promise to embrace It.
We repeat our conviction, that If
there are Interstate discriminations
alnst Georgia cttlee there le a peace
ful lawful method of getting at the
difficulty* At leset let u* exhaust
theee methods before we appeal to re
volution and "force," about which
thero is so much Intimation in the
Atlanta papers. Above all, let us be
reasonable and eeuelble.

Sectary of Stats Cook Learns About
Hie Term of Office.
ATLANTA. Nov. 4.—Secretary of
State Philip Cook haa been wrestling
with the constitution today. He finds
thst hla term of office is eight months
longer than he thought it was. It all
came about from an injulry made by
the New York Financial Chronicle.
The New York paper wanted a Hat of
the state house officer*, with a state
ment of their terms of office. Mr.
Cook sent the Hot and wrote that they
held office for two years from October.
1904. but that the governor’s term of
office would expire next June, when
he would b* Inaugurated to succeed
himself. The Financial Chronicle sent
Mr. Cook extract# from the const Itu
tlon showing that the comptroller gen
eral. treasurer, attorney general and
secretary* of state held their offl<
concurrently with the governor, and
asked if the constitution had
changed. Mr. Cook began to read up.
He found that the New York paper
wa* right. The governor’s term of of
fice begins when he Is inauguarated,
and as the legislature changed th<
| time of ft* session from fall to sum
is evidenced by hls dedicating It "To tho Y
