John Hart, Arcadian!
Atlanta Constitution.
The question of the prorating of the
vote for Governor where no candidate
receives a majority of a county has
been suddenly but effectively taken out
of the campaign for Governor by the
withdrawal of Judge John C. Hurt,
practically narrowing the contest to
Brown on one side and Smith on the
other, and making it certain that one
or the other will receive the majority
vote of every county in the State.
So it seems that the promise of cam
paign excitement over the prorating rule
of the State Committee fails of fulfill
ment in the unexpected development
by which it becomes impossible for
that rule to be invoked in the contest
for Governor.
This brings us to the subject of the
withdrawal of Judge Hart, announced
in a remarkable communication recent
ly published.
His short-lived candidacy and the rea
sons animating its termination afford
one of the most singular chapters in
State politics. They also combine to
sound a note of warning, the clearness
of which is self-evident.
Not a nian, woman or child in Geor
gia but is convinced of the sincerity of
the purpose with which Judge Hart en
tered the contest. He, honestly be
lieved his would be a campaign which
would resolve factionalism and restore
peace to Georgia. No statesman could
have been animated by a purer motive.
In the brutal whirl of politics he has
met disillusionment. He has found the
line-up behind the two other candidates
so set, so immovable, so irrevocable,
that his gentle efforts at peace would
be as a pin-prick upon the walls of Gi
braltar.
Sadly enough he sees the futility of
the sacrifice he would have imposed
upon himself; wisely enough, ho_ re
fused to push it further.
Men will come and go, issues rise and
fade, demagogues reign and fall, and
statesmen rule in Georgia, but it is to
be doubted if the vicissitudes of any of
them will offer a more beautiful, a no
bler spectacle than is here afforded in
the rarity and the purity of the citizen
ship of John Hart.
To come in contact with the man is
to know his sweetness of nature, his
cleanliness of soul, his gentleness of
heart. All these qualities, tragically in
frequent'in the public man of to-day,
were thrown into the fierce fires of fac
tionalism in this State. The offering
was profitless. .For along with it went
an ignorance, no less lovable because it
is unusual, of the wiles, the tricks, the
subterfuges qf the bitter game of poli
tics.
For the man lived in Arcady! His
dreams of worth, of the possibilities of
human virtues, were the dreams—half
of child, half of idealist—that grow in
that sweetly curious realm that*has
neither latitude nor longitude, but is
measured by the infinity of imagina
tion.
Reasoning in that atmosphere, it was
not strange that he should have thought
possible the sacrifice lie sought to offer
his people. But the logic of that shore
less country melts in the sordid reali
ties of politics, or of everyday life.
Any politician, in Georgia or elsewhere,
any business man, would have told that
to John Hart. /
But aside from its personal features,
there are some remarkable suggestions
made in Judge Hart’s withdrawal an
nouncement, and they should put the
people to thinking.
Without being offensive, he intimates
that unless this State reshapes its
financial policy, revises its tax sys
tem and lets business take precedence
over politics—at least for a while—its
people will reckon a day of accounting
not less embarrassing than appalling.
With the clearness of the trained law
yer and the devotion of the statesman,
he shows the penalties of mixing parti
sanship with government, and without
reference to Brown or Smith in this
specific campaign, he shows the danger
of a partisan Legislature joining battle
with a Governor of an opposite parti
san faith, its chief purpose seeming to
be to thwart his every plan, to set traps
for him, to ignore his every suggestion
—all the outgrowth of purely political
motives.
The brief political experience of John
Hart, Arcadian, will not have been
without its blessing if it focuses the
attention of Georgians upon the cost to
them of that feudism that continually
racks the State, business, statecraft,
progress.
The Constitution takes a cue for a
remedy from this suggestion—
The contest has narrowed to an irre
ducible minimum; the voters must .ar
bitrate as between Brown and Smith.
Something to Remember.
Wesleyan Christian Advocate.
The following brief but suggestive
statement is taken from the Fourth of
July oration of Judge Emory Speer,
delivered in Macon. May the record
incite our young men to noble deeds
and high aims. Judge Speer said:
This is the birthday of our great re
public. So far as I know, this is the
first time it has been formally celebra
ted as of yore by an organized camp of
Confederate veterans. The Confeder
ate soldiers, of whom the veterans of
to-day survive, were Southern men —
that is to say, they were, and the sur
vivors are, Americans of the Southern
States. Of all others, it seems to me
that we should celebrate the Fourth of
July, our country’s natal day.
A Southern man, Patrick Henry, be
fore the old House of Burgesses, in
Virginia, thrilled mankind with the un
dying words, "give me liberty or give
me death.”
A Southern man, Thomas Jefferson,
penned the Declaration of Independ
ence, which you have just heard.
A Southern man, George Washing
ton, against the most adverse fortunes,
led the patriot armies of our forefath
ers to final victory.
A Southern man again, Thomas Jef
ferson, by the Louisiana Purchase
added to our country all that .territory
comprising the States of Louisiana, Ar
kansas, Missouri, Iowa, Minnesota,
Kansas, the Dakotas, Nebraska, Colo
rado, Montana, Idaho, Oregon, Wash
ington, Wyoming and Oklahoma.
A Southern man, Andrew Jackson,
commanded the fathers and grandfath
ers of the veterans of Lee and Forrest,
Wheeler and Johnston, at New Orleans,
and inflicted the bloodiest defeat upon a
proud and disciplined British urmy ever
sustained where such army was not to
tally destroyed.
A Southern man, James Monroe, ut
tered the momentous word, which
gave to the powers of Europe conclu
sive warning that any future at
tempts to establish their colonies upon
any foot of that hemisphere discov-
ered'by Columbus would not be tolera
ted by the American people.
A Southern man, John Forsyth, of
Georgia, added to our territory tile
Reviera of the New World, the “Land
of Flowers, ” the vast empire of Florida.
A Southern man, Sam Houston, at
San Jacinto, won from Santa fyina
the empire of Texas.
A Southern man, Winfield Scott, of
Virginia, planted the stars and stripes
above the halls of the Montezumas. A
Southern man, Zachary Taylor, of
Louisiana, lpd the gallant volunteers of
our country from Palo Alto Resaca de
la Palma via Monterey to Buena Vista,
and there on the bloody slopes of that
famous field the Mississippi Rifles, with
unflinching valor and deadly aim for
hours rolled back and swept away the
charging columns of Mexico. In com
mand of the American regiment stood
their colonel, a Southern man. His
name, Jefferson Davis. As the result
of these victories, under the Presidency
of a Southern man, JameB K. Polk,
through the treaty of Gaudolupe Hidal
go, to our country was annexed the ter
ritory comprising the vast States of
California, Utah, Nevada, New Mexico
and Arizona.
It will thus be seen, except in the ac
quisition of Alaska and Hawaii, which
are to be accredited to Northerh diplo
macy, and of the insular possessions,
in which the participation of Confeder
ate veterans and their sons were sur
passed by none—every foot of that vast
empire, much more than half of our
territory, which has been acquired since
the peace with Great Britain, is direct
ly ascribable to the statesmanship, the
constancy, the foresight, or the daring
of Southerh men.

That ‘‘Challenge.’’
Columbus Enquirer-Sun.
So far ns we have been uble to judge,
the people of the State have not re
garded tile message of Gov. Brown to
the Legislature as a challenge to Hon.
Hoke Smith to become a candidate for
Governor th s year. Those who have
taken time to study the question have
had no difficulty in arriving at the in
evitable conclusion that the message is
in line with the mandates of the Demo
cratic platform that was adopted by the
convention which nominated Mr. Brown,
and also that it is pretty much the
same us the recommendations contained
in his Hrst message to the Legislature.
In view of these facts it is difficult for
them to understand how the recom
mendations contained in the message
can be construed ns a challenge to
former Gov. Smith.
About the only recommendation made
by Gov. Brown that was not contained
in the platform adopted by the last
State Convention was that in reference
to the repeal or amendment of the reg
istration law of the State, closing the
books thirty days prior to the date of
the general election inatead of six
months. When the platform wns
adopted that law had not been enacted,
but the Legislature that mot after
Gov. Brown was nominated, but be
fore he became Governor, passed it.
Among other recommendations by
the Governor is one to amend the tax
laws so ns to regulate taxation, making
one dollar bear as much of the burden
as another. The platform declares for
an "economical administration of our
State government, and to that- end we
pledge ourselves to a reduction of taxa
tion as quickly and to as great an ex
tent as practicable.” The only way to
do this is to make every dollar bear its
fair share of taxation. Is that a chal
lenge to ex-Gov. Smith? Isn’t he in
favor of a just system of taxation?
The Governor recommends the prompt
payment of the school teachers of the
State. The platform is equally explicit
in its mandate favoring us "liberal ap
propriations for the common schools bb
the public finances will allow, and the
prompt payment of the teachers.” No
challenge there.
The Governor recommends the estab
lishment of a State bureau of labor.
The ninth plank of the platform of
1908 says: "We favor the establish
ment of » department of labor.” That
doesn’t challenge the ex-Governor, so
far. as we are able tojiee,
- The Governor recommends the re
duction of the Railroad Commission
from five to three members. Plank 13
of j|the platform opposes unnecessary
oilices which levy additional taxes on
the people, and asks the Legislature to
scan Georgia’s payroll to the end that
all sinecures may be cut off. It con
tinues: ”We especially favor a reduc
tion in the membership of the Railroad
Commission from five to three, and the
abolishment of the ofilce of special at
torney to the same.” If the ex-Gov-
ornor opposes that, ho opposes the ex
pressed will of the Democrats of Geor
gia in convention assembled.
Other recommendations of the Gov
ernor which may not be specifically
mentioned in the platform are in line
with economy and the equalization of
taxation. So, juBt. how Mr. Smith or
his friends can look upon the message
as a challenge to the ex-Governor to
become a candidate, we do not under
stand. It muBt be a strange process of
reasoning that they employ.
ALL TIRED OUT.
Hundreds More In Newnan in the
Same Plight.
Tired all the time;
Weary and worn out night and day;
Back aches; side aches,
All on account of the kidneys.
Must help them in their work.
A Newnan citizen shows you how:
One kidney remedy never fails.
Newnan people rely upon it.
That remedy is Doan’s Kidney Pills.
Newnan testimony proves it always
reliable.
A. G. W. Foster, living near North
Jackson street, Newnan, Ga.. says: "I
would not take one hundred dollars for
the good Doan’s Kidney Pills afforded
me; in fact, I can Hay that they have
made a new man out of me. Probably
due to advanced age, my kidneys were
badly out of order and caused such in
tense pain through my loins that I
could hardly get about. At night I was
restless and unable to sleep and would
arise in the morning tired and worn
out. My general health was being
gradually undermined and I was at a
loss to-know what to do. The kidney
secretions were very scanty and quite
frequent in action. When I procured
Doan’s Kidney Pills at Lee pros’, drug
store, I hardjy thought that they would
help me, as I had used so many reme
dies without any benefit. I soon
changed my opinion of them, however,
as I had taken them only a short time
when every symptom of my trouble
was banished. I am now in trie best of
health, considering my ago, and only
wish I could let every sufferer from
kidney trouble know of the great value
of Doan’s Kidney Pills.”

The South of the Future.
Clarcnco Poo In Profrrasslvo Farmer and Gur.otto.
The reverence for Old Glory’s stars
and stripes I yield to no man North or
West. But for the South every true
Southerner must feel a distinct and pe
culiar affection. That she is behind
the North and West in many respects,
we grant. The people of the South
livo yet in shabbier houses; there are
too many ramshackle barns; the fields
are less thoroughly plowed, patches in
stead of broad, well-kept fields, and
the land lias been too often neglected
and allowed to wash. The beautiful
herds of cattle, the sleek Percheron
plow-horses two or three abreast, the
trim lawns, the great red barns—these
are no longer the rule ns in the West.
There ure also fringes of disreputable-
looking cabins on the edges of these
Southern towns,' and too often the
white people, from association with the
lower ideals of neatness and thrift on
tile part of a more backward race,
seem to hove suffered a pitiful sagging
of their own racial standards. The
rouds here are in worse condition; there
are ton times as many people who can't
read and write, and the schools are by
no means as efficient as in the North
and West.
And yet, in spite of all theso things,
I would not live in the West. Rather
must the true Southerner feel that bg-
cause of these things the call is all the
more imperative for him to stay in the
South. The task of betterment, the
task of improving these conditions—
this is his, and he dare not run away
from it. As well might a soldier desert
his post in time of battle. If your
neighbor’s field iB plowed well, do not
wish for it, but plow your own well; if
your neighbor's children aro well edu
cated, do not wish for his, but educate
your own. And so our duty is not to
covet the beauty and thrift and enter
prise of the West, but to give our lives
to bringing to the South the same high
degree of beauty and: thrift and pro-
gresaiveness.
To educate ail our boys and girls in
longer and better and more' practical,
public Bchools, and to educate our older
people through farm papers and demon
stration work nnd farmers’ institutes,
etc. —this must be our main hope of
doliverance.
