to him. He cares nothing about them.
He M w!U past" them, but the negroes
have "Our own reasons," which
"apella for ua" something alee. He
states what It Is—the destruction of
the "white primary Infamy."
But this la the French Revolution
•tory:
"When Dan ton wa# at the height
of power and .king of massacre, he
had all avenues of escape from Paris
dosed, and gave secret orders
murder of thousands of souls. The
guillotine wae too alow, and there was
to b* wholesale butchery of all
pectad of sympathy with royalty. The
hturderere were organised Into band#
of gassaalna and from the t$th of Au
gust to. the td of September the mas
eacres raged. Ten thousand were
butchered.
"At the end of the three day*' mur

atrocities, and the numbers he had
put to death. In the meeting held

Tha flrat blow to the "Democratic"
primary came by the wotk of certain
Atlanta politicians, and by the work
of an Atlanta newspaper, when the
"white" primary we# substituted In
Oeorgta for the "Democratic" primary
—over two years ago. Now, If At
lanta gives the "white" primary a
deadly blow then will fallow—the
deluge!
GOVERNMENT OWNERSHIP.
The experiment of Government
ownership on trial In Switzerland and
in Belgium has been anything but
satl*factory. A recent dispatch from
Brussels say*:
As rushing out of door*, to be i
solved,
It Brutus mo unkindly knocked or i
In Belgium, as In Bwltaerland,
the exploitation of railroads by
the Htat© la proving rather a dl«.
astrous experiment. The deficit
on leal year*# working wae esti
mated between $600,060 and tl,-
010,000, but It now appears that
It will exceed 12.000.000. The sit
uation la so bad that the admin
istration. which had already de
cided on raising the price of the
fortnightly and monthly peases #«
well known to tourists, Is now
con*ld*rlng the question of a big
all-round increase In passenger
and freight rates.
A dispatch also from Berne, SwJts..
eoya:
The unfavorable results of the
Btute owwr*hfp of railroad* fn
Bwltaerland promises to be a lead
ing Issue In tha coming electoral
campaign. The confederation hue
$240,000,000 Invested in railroads,

the receipts of the Ktate-operated

from 1$02 to 1107. the coat of op
eration haa increased more rap
id! Idly still, and the co-efficient
of railroad operating expense* Is
now the largest tn Europe. The
deficit this year will be between
$1,000,000 and $1,200,000. The na
tionalisation of the roads, there

payers the deficit for operation
In addition to the Interest on the
State capital Interested.
With these facts before ua, and
with the third defeat of Bryan, Isn’t
I. about time to quit talking about
Government ownership In this coun
try?
Here was the red blood , of real or-
atory, and whatever the biatortan may
•ay of their respective reputations, the
common sense of alt will agree that
Antony fa the more genuine charac
ter, even though he may have Ifved
only In the Imagination of the genius
that reproduced him after * lx teen
centuries.
But Big. Ferrero furnishes us with
a more timely example of the fallacy
of a contemporary Judgment, colored
aa this most be by the feelings or
prejudices of the time and the view*
of actors from whom we receive It.
In his extravagant praise of Theodore
Roosevelt and hla comparison of w.
J. Bryan with Catiline. We art ve-
raclously Informed by history that
Catalina slew hla inoffensive brother-
in-law with his own hand; Jie wea
1 believed to have done away with his
| wife and aon to wed a wealthy wo-
(man: he conspired to murder the
; consuls and to fire the city, and be-
1 cause the cancellation of all debts
| was a feature of hla plot he I* likened
j to Rryan because Bryan advocated
free silver and. aa Big. Ferrero Ubel-
iloualy says "urged that debts which
.'had been contracted In gold would be
■ paid In allvcr.”
! We will not insult the Intelligence of
•any one by defending Bryan, McKin
ley and other good men who honestly
j believed In free sliver, however mis
takenly, from the parallel with Cati
line and his oo-conspirators, but we
will simply retort upon 8ig. Ferrero
one true thing that he la quoted as
saying that "those who succeed are
eulogised beyond their desert* and
those who fall are dragged through
the mire more than they deserve."
Hla praise of Theodore Roosevelt as
BRYAN AND CATILINE.
The Telegraph of yesterday carried
the atory, under a Boston date line,
of tho arrival of ”Blg. Gugllelmo Fer
rero, the historian who pokes holes in
ancient history," who "is going tn
•lay Ian, month to tall th« 'etridenle i lh - Au«u«tu« r a , M r of hit time end

Mr Rockefeller remember* all the
Urged good feature* of kla trust
without difficult*
the fakes of the historic*."
"Hlatory la fdll of exaggerations."
Big Ferrero Is quoted as observing.
"The etory of Thermopylae It an ex
aggeration," he aays. "Shakespeare's
atory of Brutus Is well pictured. H<
took hi#' story from Plutarch. IMu
torch’s Brutus wa* one of the best
thing* he ever wrote. His Informa
tion cam# from the memories of Mea-
sala Corvlnus, who knew Brutus
thoroughly. But Antony Is not accu
rately portrayed In Shakespeare."
Homebody will be "poking holes’* li
Hlg. Ferrero rightly quickly If ho re
fers to 8hgkespeare In fne character
i historian In the pursuit of hla
Iconoclastic venture* As well look
foi an accurate history of the Cru-
aadea tn Walter ffcottf "Ivanhoe."
But of course this mlx-up of history
and fiction In the aclentlflo discussion
of the accuracy of ancient history Is
the height of absurdity.
There Is one suggestion, however, In
the Brutu* and Antony referenoo, and
that I* that It aoema to confirm the
well nettled theory of historians that
contemporary history Is essentially un
reliable. "Plutarch's Brutus was one
of the best thing* he ever wrote;”
Plutarch got his Information front
one who kn®w Brutua; "Shakcapenro
took hla atory” of Brutus "from Plu
tarch,” and "Shakespeare's atory of
Brutus la well pictured." la Slg. Fer-
rero's chain of logic.
And yet there la no more transpar
ent "fake” In dilatory than ts In
volved tn the character of Brutus as
he la pictured to us and hie real
character. And thta holds good
throughout Shakespeare’s effort toad-
hero religiously to Plutarch's concep
tion of the man. Brutus, one of the;
will, have one effect at least It will
guarantee him a heartfelt "delighted”
on the threshold of the White House
when he accepts the Invitation ex
tended him to visit the occupant
thereof.
THE 80UTH AND THE REPUB
LICANS.
In the course of a recent editorial
discussing the political situation in
the South, the New York Tribune
(Rep.) said:
"Mr. Taft’s appearance on the
•tump In various Southern States
has been fully Justified In moral
results. If not tn material one#.
Ho frankly told tho people of
Tennessee, North Carolina and
Virginia that he did not oxpect
to got tholr support In the elec
toral roJIcgo. although ho real-
Ixod that h large element fn the
Democratic (party In the South
would wish him success while
voting for hi# opponent Mr.
Taft had no Illusions about the
Bouth’s Intentions tn the recent
campaign but he felt It a pleas
ant duty to go among the South
ern people and assure them that
he did not regard them as con
stituting for political purposes an
Isolated and hoatlle community.
"The vote In those Southern
States tn which voting still means
something Indicates tha! Mr.
Taft's courteous attitude was not
lost on the Southern public. In
Virginia nn additional sent In the
House of Representatives ha* ap
parently been won by the Repub
lican*. North Carolina haa sent
three Republican Representative*
to Washington and the Demo
cratic majority In the State has
been decreased. The city of
Richmond haa seen for the flrat
time In year* a Republican cam
paign conducted by the most re
spectable and substantial clement
In the community. In Georgia
free speech and a free division of
opinion have been countenanced,
and both the Watson ticket and
the Republican ticket have re
ceived generous support. . . .
The* Tribune Is either not well In-
eratlqn sometimes appear to be ton-
pressed by them, .It Is plain from
the utterance of the inspired Tribune,
and from other* of like Import, that
the Republican party, having failed
to break the aoiJd South by threats,
will now try the policy of conciliation
—at least so far as fair words In lieu
of deeds will serve the purpose.
Aware of this, the Charlotte (N. C.)
Observer declares that Taft came
South during tha campaign with a
view not to Immediate But future re
sults—not to win his election, of
which he was assured, but to make
friend* for his party—and wamlngly
adds:
It is the part’ of real, candid
friendship to the Democratic par
ty. already weakened In Its
stronghold, to warn It to be cir
cumspect If It would maintain its
supremacy here. Mr. Taft Is an
exceedingly attractive person
ality; all Uouthern people iwho
come In contact with him will
realise hla charm. As president
ho will be so considerate of the
Bouth. so anxious to give It ac
ceptable officials and to avoid
cause of offense. a« to disarm op
position to his national party and
prove a menace to entrenched
power beta While there I* In in#
point of view comfort In thla
thought, from another M brings
foreboding. In our belief be In
tends to. break the solid South
and -tho Democratic party will
have to be very discreet in Ita
State legislation and more con
siderate of minorities In the par
ty, or he will do it. The South’*
reetlveneas could not be so well
proved as by reference to the re
cent election returns.
The Observer Is evidently disturbed
by local condition* which aro not
general, but It* warning Is not In
appropriate or ill-timed. The Dem
ocratic party In the 8outh may well
keep ita eyes open and be on its
guard against coming assaults.
te* hope to elect a cleaner man but
needless to say that the campaign trill
not long remain clean. Each caadl
data has almost unlimited money tot-
hind hint and each aide Is determined
to win. It Is deplorable that the Pri
mary be lgnored; and if Atlanta nom
lasted Mr. Woodward on his public
record, Instead of hla private life, as
she undoubtedly did. the facte remain
Just as they have always been. Mr.
Wooward I# neither better nor . worse

not after It. /
