Editor Christopher of the Amer icas Herald seems to be a chronic “kicker.” He is entirely too prone to search for flaws and faults. Capt. Samuel S. Dunlap, one of of the oldest and most prominent business men of Macon, died at his homo in that city last Saturday. Every city, town or locality is just as good and progressive as the peo ple thereof choose to make it. A town will not grqw without applied force. , There are three candidates in op position to State School Commis sioner Glonn: Merritt of Valdosta, Beok of*D6oatur and Johnson of Milled geville.

Sam Small has something to do with the editorial make-up of that paper. The paragraphs are spark ling gems. . j— j- If Roosevelt proposes to enforce national law, ho must cause the at torney-general to enter suits agaiust the managers of the republican par ty. It seems at this distance that kk6y regard their own will as supe rior to all law. ► it -« Flint river was out of its banks last week, higher on Maroh 2nd than ever before known. On the main street pf Montezuma the water was uoveral inchoB deep in several of the stores. Both bridges across the riv er wore damaged. Miss Alice Boosevelt will not at tend the coronation of Bing Edward of England, the specifications and restriction's surround mg that func tion beiug distasteful to the Presi dent. She is now visiting the fam ily of Gen. Wood in Havana, Cuba. ' Germany and England do not agree concerning foreign affairs in China, and it is said the antagonism may seriously involve the interests of other nations in China. Germany refuses to agree to the proposed re ductions of the European garrisons at Tien-Tain: -*-<*-©* Whether the next governor of Georgia ffliall be Estill, Guerry or Uerrell, Jtho state will be well and faithfully Served, and the defeated candidates need feel no humiliation whatever. There is no remarkable difference between them in ability, integrity and character.. Concerning reciprocity with Cu ba, President Roosevelt seems to be antagonized by a majority of the re publicans in congress. It is to be devoutly hoped that Biblical decla rations may be uttered against the republican party: “A house divided against itself cannot stand.” • It was reported last week that Col. Jim Smith of Oglethorpe coun ty had just sold 2,000 bales of cot ton to a Maoon buyer. Should his positive announcement as a candi date for governor now appear, it might be inferred that he had been “holding off” until plentiful cam paign material was in hand. ' . PBfOE, SL50A 73AS, IN ADVANCE, Published Every Thursday Morning. Commercialism In Control. , Success in business affairs is com mendable, and the accumulation of ' riches is decidedly pleasing, we pre sume. There are things and conditions, however, preferable to financial ag grandisement or pre-eminence in commercial progress. In behalf of freedom in personal speech and action, and in protest against imperial oppression, a great war was waged in' this country, and the direct result was the establish ment of the United States govern ment as a republic. Upon the foun dation of a righteous sentiment em bracing the fundamental principles of democracy, equal rights to all aud special privileges to none, the union of states was established. Gradually drifting from the ground-work of justice, right and truth, the republican party has be come a synonym of commercialism, conducting its politics on the theory that whatever is worth having should be bought. Carrying this policy to its legiti mate conclusion, the republican par ty buys the election of its managers, and in the transaction the banks and industrial corporations buy the special privileges the enjoy at the hands of the republicans in power. Verily, the republican money ohangers are within the temple of the people and it is time that the democrats,' armed with the lash of justice, should drive them out de servedly scourged. There are other attributes of the republican party equally to be con demned, but its commercial methods are so pervertive of the principles for which our revolutionary fore fathers fought, that it is evidout that the sordid grOod for gain in fluences that party at every juncture and pollutes its every action. Whatever may bo unjust in the tariff laws, the currency policy, in ternal adminstration, or the dealings of this country with Ouba, Porto Rica and the Phillippine Islands,the commercialism of the republican par ty has been, and is, the controlling force. Commercialism in politics destroys principle and debases patriotism, and the outraged people should by their ballots remove it from power. ■ ■■■■■II■■■■■■ I Prince Henry of Prussia oanclu- ded his visit to the United States last Tuesday, and is now on his way homo. He came as far south as Chattanooga, Tenn„ and he express ed himself well pleased with the country and people. Prom the pub lished reports, the prince is a manly mau, remarkably free from the chill ing hauteur that might be expected of royalty., The reception given him was in the main cordial without ser vility. The incident will doubtless make stronger ike friendship of Germany and the United States. Gen. Methuen of the British ar my, 200 men and several cannon were captured by a detachment of Boers under Commandant DeLany last Saturday, in South Africa. Two officers and 40 British soldiers were killed and about 80 wounded. The British force engaged in this battle 1200 men. No details are given as to the number of Boers engaged, nor of their casualties. This action does not agree with the recent dec laration of the English government that the war in South Africa was over. • »-•* The modern daily paper requires a combination of brains, money and industry, such as is required in few other lines of business. This is spe cially true in the south where mark ed suooess in the daily field is few aud far between. That such a thing can be done, however, is proven by the continued and increasing suc cess of the Augusta Herald, which is spending more money and show ing better resuits in the newspaper field as the years go by. Judge J. M. Griggs, representa tive bf the second Georgia district in congress, will doubtless be the new chairman of the democratic congressional campaign committee. What he knows about politics is enough, and we dare say his. man agement of the committee affairs will be decidedly beneficial to dem ocracy. A financial measure has been in troduced in congress which*, if en acted into law, will practically give the national banks control of the financial affairs of the United, States government.
