The Iron has entered th« soul of Editor Morrow, of the Jonesboro En terprise. Ho te ready to cry, •'Out upon the strumpet, Fortune," who plays fast and loo** with hie town, flirting with and flouting It like the flokle Jade eke la. The cause of Ed itor Morrow's woe la contained In the ensuing wall. He eaya: It Is Impossible to understand why President-elect Taft Anally decided to turn down Joneaboro and select Augusta as tbo place for his winter sojourn. Beside* offering every congenial condition for sleeping off the Intoxication of victory, Jonesboro happen* to be one of the few civilised Houthem communities which contained enough niggers and renegade Democrats to he carried by the Republican nominee In the recent eleotlon. It Is a poor aort of a recommendation, but we hart an Idea It would appeal to Mr. Taft. The consideration that appears to aggravate Editor Morrow's raw epot la that while "Republican for revenue" was the motto of the prevailing party Ilia burg paid the price but la denied the revenue. Well may he exclaim, "Jlow keener than a serpent's tooth Is Ingratitude." ORATORY AND BU8INES8. Apropos of the discussion of the true character and quality of great orators and oratory It is Interesting to glance at a few specimens of VA- muni Burke's power of vituperation culled by the London Spectator from his speech impeaching Warren Has tings. From these It will appear that what we pigmies of today regard as license In the use of unparllamtntary language Is mere child's play In com parison. Tbs specimens follow; Tt Is passible Mr.*Hastings might be in love with Munny Begum. Be U so! Many great men have played tho fool for prostitutes, from Mark An tony's days downwards." When a Governor-General descends Into the muck smd filth of psculatlon and corruption ..." , (After a quotation from one of Has tings's minutes.) "Good God! My l/>rds, where was this language learnt?

"My Lords, he looked over thet great waste, not like the view in which Baton look* over the klngdnma of the world frem a height end sees the power and glory of them, but he which on# could hardly suppose ex isted In the prototype himself." The erltnee of Hastings are "crime* that have their rise In avarice, rapac ity, pride, cruelty, ferocity, malignity of temper, haughtiness, Insolence. In short my Lords.

After noting the faot that Mr. Bry an run 110,100 votes behind th* Dem ocratic Htate tlckst In New York. 13, •00 In Ohio, 10.000 In Indiana, 140,000 In Michigan 110.000 In Illinois, 100.000 In Minnesota, and behind the Demo cratlc ticket In his own fltate, the Nashville Danner saya: 'The Demo cratic party will have to abandon all the distinctly (Bryan doctrines as oonv pletely us ft has abandoned free stiver, and return to Its old-time safe basis as a conservative party and defender of a el riot construction of the Const! tutlon before tt oan again hope to eleot a President." The Democratic party will alao have te persuade Mr. nryan that his lead ership will not be absolutely neces sary. He has said he would "much prefer to retire to private Ufa," but that be would obey the call of duty, •to. It must be made dear to him that "private llfe^ is his real call of duty tn this matter, and that there fore Vile preference and hie duty, as well as the party's welfare, are hap pily at ona RELIGION AND MONOPOLY. The shorter and uglier word Is avoided In court, hut Frank !■ Kellogg made reiterated refer ences to It at the Hlanrtard OH hearing yesterday. John D. Rockefeller had awnm on hla di rect examination to the purchase of certain concerns In the '70s and thalr union In a working trust un der the first trust agreement, of l«7> and had repeated hie testi mony on earlier cross-examina tion. Mr. Kellogg sprung upon him yesterday an affidavit Which be (Mr Rockefeller) had made In in an Ohio auU and which Mr. Rockefeller swore that the Btandard Oil Company did not own these same concerns—News Article tn New York Bun. This was vsry awkward for Mr Rockefeller, and no donbt many will think tt almost a sacrilege to corner In this cruel fashion a man who la to re ligious and #o rich. But candor com pels the remark that we have here one , more confirmation of the obvious truth that monopoly and religion do not readily go hand In hand*. In the Bible class of Mr. Rockefel ler's son the text relating to the king dom of heaven and the rich man. the eye of the needle and the camel, has been interpreted In such a manner as to bring comfort to every trust mag nate's heart. The earns teacher has justified the Rtendard'Oll monopoly on the ground that the large Ameri can beauty roe* can be produced only by pinching all the ether buda off the bush and thus employing the whole strength of the plant In the expansion and perfecting of a single bloom. But oan young Mr. Rockefeller prove to his Bible class that the trust magnate who swears falsely Is sure of poet mortem translation to the elyalan fields and of a bed of American beauty rases when bt gets there? Hlagen nays he is ont of poRttea Graves isn't saying ? anything. cO'Olai swear he waa ever la n. TJeort (lodl Have they run mad? Did they ever expect that we meant to compare this man to Tamerlane. Genghis Kahn, or Khouhll Kahn? Good God! to compare a clerk at a bureau—tn compare a fraudulent bullock contractor • . . .to com pare him with the conquerors of the world! We never said he was a tiger and a lion. No; we have said he waa a weasel and a rat! We have said he has desolated countries as those plagues ' have desolated countries . . . God Almighty! Don't we see. respecting Pharaoh, that when God had a mind to humble hla pride and presumption and to bring him to sham* He did not do It with tlgere and lions, but He sent them lice, mice and frogs, and evsrythlng that waa low and contemptible, to polluta and dsatroy ths country." It Is clearly Impossible that any orator could utter such language to such an audience as Burke addressed without thrilling hta hearers to the core. They say Burke was called "dinner bell" because when he got up It was the signal for the members of the House of Commons to disappear, or as Ollvsr Goldsmith said of him, doubtless with poetic license, that Burks "went on refining" while the members thought "only of dining. And It Is possibly true that In ths course of the seven years covered by Hastings' trial hta auditors sometimes tired of Burke’s exhaustive review of the fRet Indian situation, but the fault here must have been tn hearers rather than In the orator. For Burke's mastery of the details of the Rest India Company's exploitation of that unfortunate people waa a marvel of Industry not only for hla own time but for our time aa well, it probable that the England of 'Burke's time did not appreciate' the enormity of Hastings' regime, or that political England. If It did, covered It up, In pursuance of the usual policy of gov ernments to do great wrong* that a little good may be gained. We have had an Inatanca akin to It, perhaps, In the Ilf* and career of Ben ator John T. Morgan, the late grand old man of Alabama. Morgan, like Burke, was an Indefatigable worker and talker and ho waa ths "dinner bell" of the United 8tatea Ronate The last year* of his Ilfs were de voted to the cause of a successful fnter-oceanie oanal, but he was unal terably committed to the Nicaragua route and he never became reconciled to the adoption of the Pgnama route. He was firmly convinced that a great crime was Involved in ths .Intrigues which resulted In the selection of the Panama route, and to the vsry test he strove te Impress his views upon Congress and ths country. William Nelson Cromwell was ths man who stood tn ths relation of Warren Hast ings in this latter day conspiracy. ’.o Morgan's mind, and ths lost days of Morgan's active careeer were spent tn trying to make this still mysterious man disclose some of ths secrets of the Panama business. Morgan Is dead, but there are still persons who van ture the prediction from tfin* to time that the Panama canal wHl never ba finished; there are historians now m ths flesh who will set down at Its proper estimate the revolution cop cocted by subjects of ths United States and executed with ths aaata ance of ths United, States navy by which Panama was wrested from Its parent government: and some of us may yet lift to learn the Inside facts of the 140.000.000 "deal" oonduc»*l by Cromwell foe the French company's The fight of the two French degen •rate* over Anna Gould and her money opens up new depths of human depravity which we an* Inclined to believe will be a revelation even to America's "smart set" CARNEGIE AND ROCKEFELLER—A PARALLEL. Andrew Carnegie and John D. Rocko- fslier are rtmaifcabte men. They are femiricnbl# products of a remarkable era. They would doubtless have been successful min—remarkable men '.n any era and under any conditions. But in no other period of the world nor under any other conditions of so ciety then those which have obtained In tbl* country tn the last half century could they have developed In one gen eration from penniless youths Into Mldaaes of such fabulous wealth that the actual experiment of trying to give their money away In lump sums amounting to fortunes haa no appre ciable effect upon them to diminish their volumes, or to atop the Increase of their fortunes. The careers of these two men, co eval In their beginning and in their extent, wer# prosecuted under the self-same conditions and with similar personal characteristics of Industry, frugality, temperance and shrewd bus iness Judgment and foresight. Oper ating thus along parallel lines, with similar capacities and under the same conditions. It is more a matter of cal culation than of coincident that they should today present to the world the two foremost representative products of the "Protection run mad" arm, and of the allied trust evil which consti tute the commercial and economic his tory of this country since the War Be tween the States. But today we are happy to note there Is a divergence In the parallel between these two men^ since both did not see fit to travel ths saner and bet ter road. On the one hand w« have Mr. Carnegie frankly confessing the morel and economic evil Inherent in the continuance of the system on which he ha* grown great, and coun selling the gradual or total return to juster and healthier methods, while on the other we have Mr. Rockefeller aa candidly admitting under compul sion the Immoral methods by which «it and his fellows got their start of ths rest of the world; but unlike Mr. Car negie, seeking with all hla powers of aophlatry and persuasion to garb them with ths veneer of a false benevolence and righteousness and to permanently fastsn on the world the code of com msrclal dishonesty. What Mr. Car negie alone can do to reverse the con ditions from which ho ha* profited and undo the evil that haa been wrought Is problematical. What tho two men could do by Joining hands and working together In this direction would doubtless be much. But there can be no doubt that the world will award to the Ironmaster the judgment of having truly seen the light when he says as he does In the December Cen tury that the "Infant Industries" .hav ing been abundantly enabled to stand on their own feet with the help of protection should now be required to do so without further tariff duties than Is necessary to produce a gov ernmental revenue.

That there Is a good side to Woodward Is shown by the manner In which las men who are more interested in a clean, business-like administration of the “■ fi -gains than they are of graft for city'# affairs than they ar# of graft for tbemselvsd.

The most deadly charge brought against him is la regard to hla moral character, and he haa met that In no In Tsyar In Atlanta last night, ac cording to The Times* correspondent he challenged his opponent to a compari son of moral characters. He declared that hla opponent and eleven others gambled with him on the train, won his money and that when lie reached home the "guardians" Jumped on him. but said nothing about the other parties to the game. He Intimates, moreover, that the Peachtree club which put the oppo sition out. doea more devilment every night In the week than he did during hie recent rough-house stunt in the rcd-llght district. The difference in that one Is open meanness and the other concealed. We know nothing about the candi date* for mayor of Atlanta nnd have not road a half that has been printed for or against them. We umially take sides with the "under dog." however, wfjen nil things ere even. We will line up with the avowed elnner every lime instead of the hypocrite.
