What the Inde pendent mean* by price t* the complete breaking of the white primary Infamy. Thin la on the line, grimly Identical, with the atory of the negro butcher In. the French Revolution, cited In these column# Jest Turodsy by "J. C..*’ which la worth repeating In thla connection. The issue* Involved do not appeal 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 der they stopped for breath, and to gloat over their deed*. There was one man especially famous for hla atrocities, and the numbers he had put to death. In the meeting held Danton and Rohcaplerre publicly * thanked this man for hie seal and patriotism; a man who gave himself no rest for three day# and nights; stopped only to drink wine; was naked to hie waist; hla vengeance di rected especially against the women of the better class—and' he fearful eight rushing along with the felr head of a elaln French woman swinging In his left hand, exposing It to the jeers and cheer* of the pop ulgce as he pushed on for another fair head. •When eompltmented by Denton and Robespierre for hla aeal In the cause, excelling all elhena In the number* he had beheaded—this man. who was a Urge giant of a nego, free all hie life, and never a slave, arose end replied: •T care nothing Per the cause, for royalist* or nen-reyallate—for archy or repbllc—but opportunity was given me to avenge thyself upon the natural eaemtas of mp race, and I have done •<>.* "Those he slew had never harmed him; he was an alien; not a French man. but FYsnch women mtrrfcT not hie color and race, and hla revenge wea on the woman. Organised Dem ocracy la woman's protection tn Geor- «1a. This negro editor teaches ue net to break Into factions." 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, having Issued that amount of Interest-bearing bonds. Although the receipts of the Ktate-operated r«;ida have steadily Increased 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 fore. tthla year coats Vhe lax- 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 number of untvereltlea all about "l» etltmatUm of Bryan ae Cetlllne 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 than before hla last fall from th* wa ter wagon- The light should have been made before the primary and not after It. / Wadley Star: A genuine mud allnglng fight for mayor of Atlanta Is on. and promises to grow dirtier and driller till the election. December 2d. At a white primary * * ew weeks ago Jas. O. Woodward was nominated by an verwhelmlng majority against two opponents. Since then Mr. Woodward unfortunately imbibed probably a lit tle too much win# and *a a result * party of twenty-five citizen* met to gether and nominated Robt. F.

Noting the claim of the Woman’s Journal, of Boston, that "Mr. Taft, like Mr. Roosevelt. ‘I# In favor of the ballot for women,”’ the Columbia State observes that "Mr. Roosevelt recently showed rather arddht oppo sition to tho suffrage movement,” and adds: "If woman had the ballot, the thrifty housekeeper# of thlg country would soon sen to It that the con sumer# did not stint themselves In order to fatten the trusts through unnecessary protective tariff duties."

According to a Joplin, Mo., dls. patch, "ministers in eight towns and cities throughout the Miseouri-Kan- sas alnc mining district took occasion to Invoke Dlvln® aid on Thanksgiv ing day union services for the fight being carried on by the district’s Rep resentatives in Congress for a pro tective tariff on sine ore.” This Is the flrat tlrae^ao far me our knowledge extends, that , the aid of Heaven haa been Invoked* In order to secure a tariff achodule.

This shows a gain for Brysn of *tl.4S7 aa compared with the Rooaevelt-Parker contest of 1W4. Taft received $5,170 lea* vote* than Roosevelt, and Bryan got U3.S5I more votes than Parker."

No man has ever been abl* to say more In truth fulness. The governor-elect Is doubly wise In visiting over the state just at this time.
