played in the manufacture of pol

be hurt unless the “boom” be
comes a boomerang, and then the
guilty parties suffer the greatest
damage.
Georgia is entirely exempt from
political work this year, except in
cases where vacancies are to be
filled, and in municipal elections.
This being a fact, the people are
enabled to devote their entire time
to business, and to the pleasure
that success in business positively
guarantees. Every man can in
augurate an individal “boom” in
his own business affairs, and thus
insure a genuine “boom” in the
affairs of the community made up
of himself and neighbors. Earn
est efforts wisely applied will sure
ly win proper rewards in any bus
iness, and we dare say positive
proof will be abundantly made
manifest in Georgia this year.
From every section of the State
evidence of progress in agricultu
ral affairs is being reported, and
we believe th3 day is fast ap
proaching when the average pro
duct per acre will be double what
it is now on a majority of the
farms in Georgia. We are ass u red
that the liberal premiums offered
by the State Agricultural Associ-
tion for the next fair is acting as a
stimulus to increase production,
and will thereby advance the ma
terial interests of the farmers.
Increase the product per acre, de
crease the area cultivated, and
constantly add to , the fertility of
the soil should be the motto of
every farmer.
We dare say this “off year” will
bring on increased prosperity for
all sections of the country.

About two weeks ago H.
Canfield, an editor, of a San Anto
nio daily newspaper was expelled
from the House of Representatives
of the Texas legislature, because
of his continued caustic criticisms
of the actions of the House. Last
Saturday the Speaker of the House
was arrested at the instance of
Canfield, and carried before a
Justice of the Peace on the charge
of unlawfully preventing Canfield
from entering the lobby of the
House. The House became in
dignant, and caused Canfield and
the poor, OF laboring classes.
From this pointer it is afgned that
money controls political parties
and politicians, and as a conse
quence legislation, state and na
tional, is controlled by money to a
greater extent than should be. If
this be true, there is a gen nine
demand for labor organizations,
based on the best interests of the
country. LegislatioUthat can be
bought is not apt to be conceived
in honesty, nor is its execution
likely to serve the material inter
ests of the country generally.
Therefore, if- political positions
are bought, and legislation is in
fluenced by money, it is time that
the people should exert themselves
to avert the dire calamity that
must surely resuIU£from such a
condition.
La bor ^ G organ izations should
strive for a greater rewards than
can be acheived through strikes
and boycots. If the'people can be
taught to give their ballots only 7 to
deserving and competent men,—
such men as are’hot soiled by too
close connection with monopoly
corporations,—muclUgood will re
sult, otherwise demagogues will
continue in office, and the money
power in control.
