THURSDAY. SEPT. 6. 1906
If Mr. Carnegie and President
Roosevelt really want to simplify the
matter of spelling, why not adopt
Josh Billings vocabulary, and be
done with it.
At last accounts, the Statesboro
congressional convention was still in
a state of innocuous desuetude, with
no immediate prospect of any varia
tion in the established program.
Mr. Bryan’s advocacy of govern
_ ffigUt_ ownership of railroads may
defeat him for the presidency, but
we very seriously doubt it. The
sentiment of the country is growing
so fast in that direction, that, if he
is defeated, it will hardly be on that
account.
The Telephone believes that the
farmers should market their cotton
slowly, at the present prices—only
selling when it is absolutely neces
sary. If this is done, we believe the
price will be certain to go higher,
and that before very long. Now
is the time for our farmers to
stand together, and accomplish re
sults. Never was there a better
opportunity presented.
Mr. Bryan is honest enough to
admit that the free silver question
has ceased to be an issue in the pol
itics of the United States, on account
of the unlooked for and unprece
dented increase in the production of
gold. This, he says, has brought
a victory to both sides—the advo
cates of gold keeping the gold stand
ard which they wanted, and the ad
vocates of bi-metalism securing the
larger volume of money for which
they contended.
Mr. Bryan and Mr. Roooeveltare
not so far apart in their ideas about
public matters—-notably on the
railroad question and the trusts.
They are different in name only, for
Air. Roosevelt has proved himself
to be almost as good a democrat as
any—a good deal better, indeed,
than some tv ho opposed him in the
last election. These two are both
great men, honest, conscientious and
patriotic—and fearless, and they
might well, as far as character and
principles are concerned, be mated
on the same ticket.
It seems as ii it is a knotty prob
lem that the congressional convention
has on its hands at Statesboro. The
Sheppard and Brannen forces are
apparently cemented in their loyalty
to their candidates, and every vote on
every proposition is invariably J8 to
18. The Sheppard delegates have
made a proposition to have the two
candidates run the race over again,
but to this the Brannen forces will
not agree, claiming that they have
just made the race before the people
and that Mr. Brannen came out with
a popular majority of over 1200; and
therefore, they say, it would be fol
ly to go right back and have it over
again. And so this is the way it
stands, and may continue to stand,
until the date for the election comes
on. when, if no nomination is made,
they will then be forced to run again
before the people, with perhaps a re
publican in the race, besides.
THE STATE PLATFORM.
The platform adopted by the de
mocratic state convention last Tues
day was what the people expected,
and is just such a platform as they
had endorsed in advance, It em
bodies fully Mr. Hoke Smith’s ideas
as to the reforms that are needed in
the state.
It demands the revision of rail
road rates, so that there shall be no
discrimination against any points in
the state, and suggests the removal
of railroad commissioners who will
not enforce the laws. It also urges
a two cent passenger rate, which Mr.
Pope Brown, when he was railroad
commissioner, wanted to put into
effect.
Mr. Smith’s disfranchisement
views were endorsed, and the adop
tionofan educational qualification
for voters was urged, ft was de
clared to be the policy of the demo
cratic party of Georgia that all ‘pri
mary elections for 1 nited States
senators, states house officers and
supreme court j udges, should be by
direct popular vote.
William J. Bryan was endorsed
as the coming democratic leader,
and the next democratic national
convention urged to make an open
attack upon monopolies and trusts.
The people Itave spoken, and the
platform adopted by the convention
is what they have demanded. This
is now good democratic doctrine, if,
indeed, there had been any doubt
about it before.
It is to be hoped that the new gov
ernor will not be hampered by the
next legislature, but rather that they
will support and help him in the
efforts he will make to benefit the
people along the line? demanded in
the platform.
Altogether, we cannot but believe
that the people wall get a fairer,
squarer deal under Governor Hoke
Smith’s administration than they
have had for a long time in the past,
MR. BRYAN’S SPEECH.
Mr. Bryan's opening speech'in
New York, upon his return from
his tour of the world, was one of
strongest and bravest we have ever
read.
Like a bold blast from-aclear toned
trumpet it has echoed and re-ech
oed over the hills and valleys and to
the remotest coniines of this land,
calling upon all lovers of true demo
cracy to buckle on their armor and
get ready for the fray.
Mr. Bryan’s utterances were clear
cut and emphatic. There was
misunderstanding his meaning or
his position on public matters.
He has been studying these econo
mic and political questions for
years, and he has just completed
tour of the globe, stopping in the
countries of Europe and the East,
and studying their conditions and
their systems of government. He
now speaks with the ripened
matured judgment that comes from
deep and honest study and
gent observation.
Mr. Bryan is no time server
no trimmer. Headings to (he prin
ciples that he believes to be right,
no matter what may be the result.
He would rather be right than
be president. His declaration in
favor of the government ownership
of railroads proves this. He knew,
of course, that it would raise a storm
in his party, and yet he spoke it be
cause he believed it to be right.
There is a diversity of opinion on
this question, but the sentiment in
favor of it is rapidly growing, and
we doubt not, will soon be strong
enough to put it into effect. It may
be strong enough to make Mr. Bryan
president in the next election.
On all other public matters Mr.
Bryan’s utterances wore strong and
stirring, and such as should draw to
his standard all patriotic, liberty
loving people.
Cotton is worth more than it is
bringing on the market, any
month in tho year.
