does some act or series of acts,
disqualifying him morally for the

B ‘~ of the philosophy governing

But uhwre were there any false pro-
t.-noea? The Atlanta electorate have
not learned anything new—they ere
not called on "to rovlso their estimate"
M Mr. James Woodward. They knew
just ad much about him before his
nomination aa they do now. end they
spied him a• their candidate f
mayor Juat aa’h# was. Tho Herald
testifies to this Itself when U goes on
to say:
Atlanta ought to get rid of old
"Jim" Woodward, anyway. Ho la
a tough old rooster, at beat—and
he redacts no credit on the mu
nicipality. Mr. Maddox will make
a mayor of whom the town may
be proud: Woodward would make
one for wthom It could apologize
only. He has been mayor two or
three times, and hie administra
tions, while not renal or devoid of
prpgreeslveness, have each been one
brag-drawn-out "Jag"--that'n tho
word—end he goes right back at
It again as soon aa he squares up
the old score. The bast men of
the town—notably Mr. Hugh T.
Inman—have tried repeatedly to
hold up his hands and nslp him;
bnt h* won't hava It. Hia final
elimination will be a good rid
dance to bad rubbish, to our way
of thinking.
Not only did the Atlanta elsctoimts
accept Woodward for mayor knowing
what they were getting, but by all
accounts they are disposed to stick *o
the bargain, now that ha has gotten
drunk and mads an sxhlbltlon of him

THE PARCELS POST AGAIN.
The Roclallsts who want the TM
eral Government to take all publio
utilities In charge should note that the
Post master-General has reported i
deficit of nearly seventeen million dol
lars In the revenues of his department
for the year ending June 20, fl>08, al
though the receipt# were I191.476,-
663.41. It has long been known,that
the Government could not make the
Pottofflce Department pay exponses,
hut this la the heaviest on record.
The Postmaster-General attributes
this Increase In the annual deficit to'
tho Increased pay of route agents,
carriers and clerks, amounting to
about ten million dollars. Ho advises
a panels post as a means of raising
enough revenue to wipe out the postal
d*fldt and make rural delivery self,
uinliig. He thinks this would he
orivenlence to the farmer and a
'•fit to the country merchant, hut
dof>s not propose to extend the
«• nr n. fit to the retail dealers In
towns and cities, presumably he*
•o he knows that would mortully
offend the powerful Interests repre
sented by the express companies. Ills
plan is to have the parcels post on the
rural deliver)* routes, but nowhere
else.
As to this proposition of the Post
mastor-General, the Baltimore Hun
very pointedly observes:
"The feature which has been
c hiefly Instrumental In making the
posts] system a public’ convenience*
and a success la the uniformity of
ratua regardless of distance. Just
as soon as special and discrimi
nating rates for the benefit of this
or that private Interest are begun
there will b« public discontent. It
is true that the present denial of
the parcels post Is In (he interest
of the express companies and con
trary to tho public Interest. But
the wrong Is general, and not spe
cial. It will not do to establish
a parcels post In the Interest of
any special class. A general par
cels post will not hurt the country
merchant. The country merchant
Is made the pretext for protecting
the express companies from com
petition. The only Injury that a
parcels post could do to the ex
press companies would bn to pre
vent them from exacting extor
tionate rates. The express com
panies can carry packages just us
< hesply ns the Government and
make money. The parrels post
would not take bnalness from ths
express companies. It would make
business and enable people who
•re not accessible to the express
companies to reach the tperket
either lo buy or sell things of lim
ited weight."
ROOSEVELT (AND HEARST.

attended a . Cheater - In Washington
During the performance Mr. Hearst

th* ,Whfte House to pay a social call
bn the President of the United States.
As the President of tho United States
does not / rscelva callers without tome
notice of tho Intended visit we may
reasonably Infer that Mr. Roosevel
was expecting Mr. Hearst and that
the two men shook hands heartily and
ths President said "delighted." even
If he did not go so far as to fall on
Hearst's neck and shed tears of fra
ternal Joy. The vHJ will probably
never be lifted to the public on the
heart-to-heart talk between the two
estranged since that sad, cruel
day In 1106 when, Hoarst being a can
dldate for Governor of New York and
Ellhu Root jpeaklng for ’President
Roosevelt at Utica, said:
A parcels post tor the country might
lead to a parcels post for the towns,
however, and It Is to be feared, that
only by driving In some such enter
Ing wedge will It ever be possible
overcome the powerful opposition lo
a plan of cheap shipment of packages
through the malls manifestly In the
Interests of the people aa a whole.
IGNORANGE OP THE BIBLE AND
THE CLA88IC8.
In recent years the pulpit has not
been left to deplore the Ignoranoe of
the 'Bible noticeable among
younger generation, College profes
sore, on literary and educational
grounds, hav# complained of the llm
Red acquaintance with Biblical char
acters and the lack of understanding
of Biblical allusions. And now the
New York Evening Post declares that
"the Bible la being forgotten," Illus
trating aa follows:
A Sunday school youth describes
the prodigal son as the one which
rises | n ths west and nets In the
east. Moses has become aa
shadowy a personage ae the moat
destructive critic makes him out

ture,
Rut this does not mean, the Evening
Post assures us, that the world li
"waxing ungodly," for there arc plen
tlful parallel cases of gross Ignorance.
"The average schoolboy or college
graduate know* fully as much about
the religious classlcq as he does about
the secular ones, to-wlt, a few great
names, a sonorous phrase or two, et

ten? Oblivion has claimed Habakkuk
and Amoa not a whit more vlcto
rlously than the fair Dutclnea del To-
boso and Caeue—but of the multiply
ing of Instance# there la no end."
The Evening Poet's explanation ta
that literary lnttmactes have gone out
of vtgue and even fallen Into disre
pute. Moreover, "to move rastotleesly
In polite society on# must pot know
too much or too little of anything;
that would hinder conversation. And
to ahlne tn the haunts of higher cul
ture one must know too much about
•ore# on# thing and nothing about
everything alee: for that Is true schol
arship"
Among each explanations we might
note another still more plausible,
the multitude of new books
that clamor for consideration, and the
disposition ef the average modern
reader to neglect the old master
piece# and classic*. both religious and
secular for the six or or dozen "beet i
sellers'* of the passing hour. Thla
prevalent took of knowledge df the
few great bosks and passing acquaint-
n many Inferior ones may alee
largely explain why. although now
have numerene capable and entertain-
tera, the genuine literary.gea-
llus seems te be a thing ef the past
I *ay to you with hi* (Roose
velt's) authority that ho regards
Mr. Hssrst as wholly unfit to be
Governor, as an Insincere, self-
seeking demagogue who 1* trying
to deceive the workingmen of New
York" by false statements ond false
promises; I eqy to you with hlf
authority that' he considers that
Mr. Hearst's election would
be an injury and a discredit alike
to honest labor and to honest cap
ital and u serious Injury to the
work In which ho is on raged of
enforcing Just and equal laws
agMlnst corporation wrongdoing.
President Roosevelt and Mr.
Hearst stand as far as the polos
asunder. Listen to whet presi
dent Roosevelt himself has said
of Mr. H»*nrst and his kind, lit
President Roosevelt's first mes
sage to Congress, In speaking of
bhe assanaln of McKinley, he
spoke of him ns Inflamed "by the
reckless utterance* of those who,
on the* slump and In the public
preai, appeal to the dark and evil
spirits of malice and greed, envy
and sullen hatred. The wind Is
sowed by tho men who preach’
such doctrines, and they cannot
escape their share of responsibil
ity for the whirlwind that Is
reaped. Thla applies alike to the
deliberate demagogue, to the ex
ploiter of sensationalism «nd to
the crude and foolish visionary
who for whatever reason apologizes
for crime or excites aimless dis
content."
I say. by the President's au
thority, that in panning that*
words, with ths horror of Presi
dent McKinley's murder fresh be
fore him. he had Mr. Hearst spe
cifically in his mind.
And I aay, by his authority,
that what he thought of 'Mr.
Hearst then he think* of Mr.
Hearst now.
But Hearst, the man whose utter
ances, In RooseveljTs opinion. Inspired
the brain end prompted the hand of
President McKinley's nssasaln. has
been redeemed and made clean by
Hearst, the man who rend the stolen
Arrhhold fetters, and contributed what
he could lo the defeat of the Demo
cratic ticket, performing tho double
service of knocking out Fo raker,
Roosevelt's deadliest enemy, and help'
log to elect Taft President. Roose-
vslt, who could not see how Bryan
could associate with Haskell, fcaa no
qualms about taking the hand of one
who two years ago he looked upon ae
accessory before the fiact of Scholigot.
The methods of Roosevelt and
Hearst are pretty much the same, de
spite Root's declaration that they
"stand ae far apart as the poles."
Hearst garbed Murphy tn convict
stripes Ip his paper and nfterward
Joined hands with Murphy In his at
tempt to obtain office. Roosevelt held
Hearst up as the accomplice of an as
sassin and afterward met him as a
friend when he happened to have an
tntarest In common with him. With
both the end Justifies the mantis and
right and wrong arc relative terms
merely the meaning of which depends
entirely on the attitude the matter
question may bear to them.
According to a Phoenix, Arizona,
dispatch. Chief Justice Edward Kent
shortly after the election wrote to
the President expressing the hope that
the Republican victory In that Terr!
tory would help forward It* applica
tion for Statehood. The roply now
published promisee that the next
message to Congress will urge sep*
rate Statehood for Atitona and* New
Mexico. And yet. ae we all remember,
the President formerly vigorously op
posed separate Btathhood and urged
that the two Territories come In as
one mat*. During the agitation Art-
sons was supposed to be Democratic,
but now It seems that It can bo count
ed on as Republican. If Mr. Cleve
land had been ja much a partisan *■
Mr. Roosevelt and as determined to
strengthen end keep the Democracy »n
power, the story of the last twelve
year* might bare been widely dif
ferent.
Commenting oa the letter written
for The Telegraph by Congressman
3. Brantley, printed Thursday,
the Savannah Pros* says. "Proa our
standpoint It It exactly right. The
time has not come for 'new and un
tried' experiments. We do not want a
■actional or Bouthem Democracy, but
national Democracy. W# do not
grant anything that would make for
the Isolation of the South, A cabal
holding the etootoral vote of the Booth
and proceeding to dicker and trade
for ‘Republican pie and spoil* would
not be practical and would not be pa
triot ke. Such a departure would not
end Itself to the people of the
country and would never attract tha
peop*e of the South. Nothing of this
sort D Democratic or desirable."
And now Mr. Rooeewrft to quoted ae
•eying: "If 1 had been the candidate,
I should have carried Georgia and
broken tha solid South." He seems te
forget that he bad hie chance In 1M4
and that he was mere generally popu
lar then than he to now.

Jefferson Davis and the Negroes.
New Orleans Picayune.
Aa Jefferson Davis stood before the
world aa the foremost representative
of the southern slave owners' cause,
no little Interest attaches - to his
treatment of hU own and of negro
slaves generally. Prof. Walter L.
Mem Ing, of the chair of history, in
Louisiana state university, at
Baton Rouge, has contributed to the
Hewanee Review for October an ar
ticle on Mr. Davis' views on thi
negro problem, and on his treatment
of hia slaves. Some extracts from
Fleming's paper will be found
Interesting. Hays Mr. Fleming,
traducing his subject:
"Mr. Davis' dealings with the race
and his private utterances show that
he regarded the negro us quite capa
ble of reaching a higher civilisation,
that he believed slavery to be a
more or less temporary status and
that he was a mon considerate mas
ter. In his opinion, slavery was not
only a temporary solution of the la
bor problem In the newly-settled
south, but It was also a partial so
lution of what we now call the race
problem—the problem of how to
make two distinct races live together
without friction. That th« negro race
was fundamentally Inferior
white was his firm conviction. That
there was any mornl wrong In hold
Ing slaves, he In company with most
of the slaveholders, would nover ad-
By him, as by most men of his
etsss. th»n us now *:sverv was con
sidered a benefit to tho negro and
recognition of that law of nature
which subjected the v/enkot to the
stronger for the good of both. Slavery
took Idle, unmoral, barbarous blacks
and gradually rooted out their sav
age traits, giving to them Instead the
white man'a superior civilisation—his
religion, his language, his customs,
his Industry. The negro was a child
race and slavery was Its tralnlfig
school. These conductions shaped III*
attitude toward the Individuals of
the race. And never were there mow
Intimate friendships between whites
and blacks than between Davis and
his servants, as ho always called his
slaves."
Dh Fleming Is very carefu* as to
hia statement of facts, and In over/
he quotes his authorities, giving
chapter and verse. MViny interesting
Incidents are told of Mr. Davis' te-
lattnna with his own neg.’ooa. both
before and after they were set free,
but the following will suffice:
"Two trusted servants were James
H. Jones, a free negro, and Robert
Brown. Jonee was Davis' valet and
coachman: Brown was Mrs. Davis'
servant. Both gave faithful servloe
during the war, and In 1865, Just be
fore the collapse of the (Jonfederacy,
they were sent south with Mrs. Da
vis. On May 10. 1165. Mr. Davla
overtook his wife In the pine woods
of Georgia and that night was cap
tured. It waa Jones who had the
president's horse saddled and ready,
and hcnrlng the coming of the enemy
waked Mr. Davla and threw over his
shoulders the famous ralncoast which
Mr. Htanton's Imagination and Inge
nuity magnified Into a female costume.
After accompanying the Davla fam'Iy
to Portress Monroe, Jonee went to live
In Raleigh, N. C. Home years later,
when Mr. Davis was In North Caro
llna, Jonta called, and bla old master
excused himself to a distinguished
company In order to see 'my friend,
James Jones.' Jones, nqw employed In
the stationery room of the United
States senate, to full of reminiscences
of hto master, and nothing makes him
more Indignant than to hear the story
about Mr. Davis' disguise when cap
tured. Among his treasures are let
ters and pictures from the Davis fam
lly and a stick that Mr. Raids once
used. Jones claims that on the
treat through the Cprollna# Mr. Da
vla gave him the Great Real of the
Confederacy to hide, and that for a
while he had charge of the coin of the
Confederacy treasury. While It Is cer
tain that Mr. Pavla gave him some
thing to hide It to dpjtbtful whether It
was the seal. Jones cay (hat hia mas.
ter was a fine 'every-fib y man.' who
'didn't take nobody Into hto bosom too
an.'
"Robert Brown spent hia whole life
In the service of the Davie family.
He went with Mrs. Davie and her
children from Fortress Monroe ti
tholr captivity In Savannah. and wav
nurse and protector to the famt.v
On the vessel that brought Mrs. Da
vis to Ravannah. a sailor was vert
abusive of Davis, and seemed anx-
to teach Brown that he was now
his master's equal. Brown asked:
’Am I your equal V 'Yea, certainly.
_Jlor rtpusd: Then take thli
from your equal.' aald Brown, and
left the bank penniless. "But there Is
no question." sold MrT Darts. "T
the whites are better off few the i —
of slavery; it Is a nequally potent fact
that the colored people are not." The
planter would no longer be .obliged to pur
chase bis labor at high pries*, nor care
for laborers and tbelr families In sick
ness and when Idle. If a free negro died
hie master would lose nothing; when e
slave died be lost-61.640 or more. True,
all the wealth Invested in slaves was
•wept away, but the labor Itself remained,
and It was posslelt that the negro race
might develop into an efficient tenantry
that would make the south again pros
perous. For the Immediate future th«
operation of the laws of supply and de
mand would, he thought, serve to adjust
economic relations between whites end
blacks, but if theorists continued to in
terfere the result would be had."
As to social problems. Mr. Darts said:
“The more political equality waa given
or approached, the greater must be the
social antagonism of tho races. In the
south, under slavery, there was no such
feeling, because there could be no such
rivalry.
“The attainment of political equality by
»e negro will revolutionize all this. It
will be aa if our horses were given the
right of Intruding Into our parlors, or
brought directly into competition with
human labor, no longer aiding It but as
rivals. Put large gangs of white labor
ers belonging to different nationalities at
work beside each other and feuds will
probably break out • • • Emancipa
tion does thla uppn a gigantic scale, and
In the most aggravated form. It throws
the whole black race Into direct and ag

Since the close of the Civil War, ex
cept when violent disturbances between
the races were fomented by the demago
gues who sought to use them for politi
cal purposes, tho relations have been
generally peaceful, but this state of
things must come to an end. As the ne

The reason to this: In 1429 there cir

somehow confused the Christian his
