Hall, chairman of the State Democratic Committee, has issued the following address to the Democratic voters of Georgia, urging the necessity of registering by April 5: ‘To the Democratic Voters of Geor gia: By the terms of the registration law of 1908 the right to qualify by reg istration as an elector for all State elections to be held this year, will ter minate on April 5, next. “Early in the year I mailed to each Tax Collector of the State a request to furnish me the number of _ voters who had registered in his county up to and including Dec. 31, 1909. Returns have been received from seventy-six of the one hundred and forty-six counties of the State. These indicate a registration in the counties heard from of 80 per cent., as compared with the vote cast in said counties in the primary of June 4, 1908. “As there are always those who, from one cause or another, do not vote, the primary of June, 1908, hardly repre sented the full vote of the, State at that time. It would be conservative to say that 25 per cent, of the qualified voters of that year did not participate in that primary. Assuming this to be true, the registration as shown by t returns from the seventy-six counties heard from, would represent about 65 per cent, of the qualified white voters of said communities. As J;hese seven ty-six counties are located in every sec tion of the State the registration may be said to fairly represent the condi tion as it exists in the entire State. “The shortness of the tim left in which the voter may regisi# greap importance of a full of our people, is the occasii r,ppe:*l. ‘ That .-very citizen, qua i • « should register an- ^adst I That it j a .,u, ■ .tic does not admit of . au- t apathy of electors is the A< weakness of a repub- inuitference of the citizen and the si ratidh r this (I body has ever marked the decay of free government. ‘Bad laws and unfaithful officials can only exist in a republic by grace of the people’s will, or of their indiffer ence. The law, good or bad, is but the expression of the popular will. The administration of the law, faithful, faulty or corrupt, is but the reflection of th@ popular wish. Not that a ma jority of the people want bad laws, nor that they favor a weak and inefficient administration of the law, but because of the engrossment of so many good citizens in their private affairs, and their disinclination to enter the field of political activity, there exists a wide spread indifference among our people to this particular phase of civic duty. “The occasion is not inopportune to state that the individual responsibility of each citizen for the civic condition of his State and nation is the most im portant and wholesome lesson our peo ple can learn. State character is but a reflection of the character of the in dividual citizen. He is the source and fountain-head of law, and has in his power, either directly or indirectly, the bestowal of every official commission. If a law is bad, if an official is urifaith- ful, he has in the ballot tin unfailing corrective. That bad laws and unfaith ful officials are sometimes found in a free government is because the people are indifferent to the exercise of their duty, or else misconceive the true pur pose of it. “The right of franchise is not tf pri vate asset, but a public trust. The citizen who would sell his vote would, as a public official, accept a bribe; and he who would cast his ballot for per sonal benefit stands in the same class with the official who would use public funds to pay private debts; and the voter who would cast his ballot as pledge of friendship has not a whit higher regard for his duty than the of ficial who, though. elected to enforce the law, would wink at its evasions and even its open infractions to repay per sonal obligations or political debts. “As the individual is the State in miniature, reform must begin with him. He must exalt his conception of the right to vote and of the unsolfish pa triotism which should inspire him in chs* ng his ballot. “It is nanifest that those who ex pect to reap personal gain from the ex ercise of the franchise will register and voto. It is that large class of our citi zens who expect no personal emolu ments to accrue from voting, and the others whose private business may cause them to neglect to register, who must be awakened and aroused to the importance of qualifying themselves for the patriotic exercise of this high privilege and the performance of this important duty. Not to register is to indirectly assist the enemies of good government. “I most earnestly urge every white citizen in the State to register without delay. Do not wait until it is conven ient, but put yourself to some incon venience to do so. Register yourself, and urge every good citizen to do like wise. “This is one of the highest obligations of a good citizen. By the faithful use of the ballot we can make our laws just, and their administration ‘impar tial and complete.’ Then will come the rule of the people exemplified in the reign of law. H. A. Hall, Chairman State Democratic Executive Committee. Newnan, Ga., Feb. 19, 1910. Bogus Highlanders. A short while ago there was started a movement to have the kilts of a certain one of the British “Highland” regiments discarded in favor of ordinary trousers. It was objected that the men would be discontented at this change, and the colonel gave orders that a census of the regiment be taken, in order to ascer tain the wishes of the men themselves. The colonel is the descendant of a long line of Scotch lairds and strives earnest ly to uphold the old traditions. The sergeant who took the census of the regiment finally appeared with his report. “All the men, with the exception of three, are in favor of the change, sir,” he said. “Indeed!” the colonel said. “Tell me the names of these three true clans men. They shall be promoted.” The sergeant read from his list, “They are, sir,” he said, “Patrick Doolan, Hans Steinbrenner and Moses Ikenstein.” Raising the “Maine.” New York Mail. President Taft’s approval of a bill prepared by Representative Loud, of Michigan, providing for the removal of the wreck of the battleship Maine from the harbor of Havana, will make it ex ceedingly difficult to delay that project any longer. The mysterious influences which have thus far halted the perform ance of a plain national duty will find it hard to maintain an effective oppo sition to an undertaking so earnestly favored by public sentiment and so heartily approved by the Chief Execu tive of the Government. It is nearly twelve years since the Maine was destroyed, and within her ruins lie the remains of scores of Amer ican sailors, who were entitled to hon ored sepulcher in their own country. They have not received it. The Govern ment has violated a solemn pledge it gave them when they entered its ser vice. The wreck is an obstacle, if not a peril to navigation. We could remove it if we would, but we have not only refused to do so, but have intimated that no other Government will be al lowed to do it. Our national attitude is that of unreasoning, inexplicable op position to discharging a high obliga tion, which should have been undertak en immediately after the restoration of peace with Spain. The Maine should be raised, and can be if Congress would give the word. The neglected wreck in the harbor of a friendly nation, whose Government would gladly have it removed, is a re proach to the American people. Honor, duty, justice, and good faith with those who pledged their lives to the national defense all demand that the lost ship be brought back to American waters and its martyrs given honorable burial in the land for which they died. Fur ther delay would expose the nation to the suspicion of timidity, as well as in gratitude.
