SHEJPSp
Preparing for 1904.
Notwithstanding the fact that two
years must pass before the next pres
idential election, all the politicians
of national standing are preparing
for that contest. Not only are the
prospective candidates of the great
parties playing for position, but the
congressional contests now in prog
ress are shaping the policies that
will control the presidential cam
paign.
Just now the democrats are mak
ing most capital out of the republi
can mistakes, and the hope is grow
ing that there will be more than
enough of those to supply the dem
ocratic demand for up-to-date cam
paign material.
Be it good judgment, straightout
honesty, or “what not," the demo
crats have made opposition to mo
nopoly trusts their chief contention.
Certainly they are right, and it
seems that the republicans know
that the masses of the people are in
accord with this democratic princi
ple. '
Several recent incidents prove that
the republicans laok much of being
harmonious in their estimation of
trusts and the existing tariff sched
ules. As the republicans are ex
pressing their varied opinions, the
democrats are getting closer togeth
er in unity of purpose.
President Roosevelt, in denounc
ing trusts, though advocating delay
in the application of a remedy, has
gone contrary to republican expecta
tions without alarming the trust
magnates. He has merely illusi rated
the fact that he is deoidedly erratio.
In deoliping a re-nomination for
congress, because the republicans of
his district in Iowa are opposed to
his protective tariff views, Speaker
Henderson Emphasizes the prevalent
republican disagreement.
In New York last week.Gov. Odell
and the republican state convention
repudiated the candidate for Lieu
tenant Governor selected by the
trust- magnates and endorsed by
Senator Plate, the boss.
Altogether, the conditions are fa
voring democracy, and the hop* p
strong that the next House of R
resentatives will be democratic.
All this seems to be. clearing t)..
way for the election of a democratic
president in 1904,
m . I IMI.-H II
At Indianapolis on the 23rd of
September President Roosevelt aban
doned his political tour of the west
ern states, by order of his physi
cians. As a result of the recent trol
ley car acoident, an abscess had de
veloped on his l^ft leg, which was
bruised by that collision. To relieve
the absoess, the president submitted
to a surgical operation, and then he
returned to Washington, where his
physioians say he must remain quiet
ly for at least ten days. It is said
there is absolutely no danger of per
manent injury. By means of the
operation, the abscess was relieved.
Sunday morning it was deemed nec
essary to perform another operation,
and an incision was made into the
small cavity, exposing the bone,
which was found to be slightly af
fected. The physicians say this waB
expected, that by this incision thor
ough drainage was established, and
that the feeling is now confident
that reoovery will be uninterrupted.
—— .
Ex-Gov. Horace Boies is th6 dem
ocratic candidate for congress to
represent the Iowa district now rep
resented by Speaker Henderson, who
is an ultra republioon protectionist.
It may indicate the eleotion of Gov.
Boies that Henderson declined the
republican nomination because the
republican state platform contains a
clause favoring such tariff revision
as will prevent the sheltering of
trusts. It is hoped by democrats in
touch with the campaign that tariff
discussion will overthrow the pres
ent republican majority in congress.
President Roosevelt’s remCday
for the trust evil is regarded as a
farce by many republicans as well as
all democrats. He proposes com
plete control by the federal govern-
ernment by authority of a constitu
tional amendment. As this would
necessitate a two-thirds vote of con
gress, and then, ratification by two-
thirds of the states, and then again
an act of congress to make the
amendment operative, the delay
would be so extended as to give
the jirusts all the latitude and op
portunity they want. ' f

Democratic leaders are expecting
much for the party from the Novem
ber congressional elections.

The Proposed New Court.
During the next session of the
Georgia legislature a bill will be in
troduced to establish an intermedi
ate court between the superior
courts and the supreme court. The
bill has been prepared by a commit
tee of the Georgia Bar Association,
authorized by that association.
The proposed new tribunal is des
ignated as an Appellate Court, and
is proposed as a relief of the su
preme court, to facilitate the final
adjudicatioa of appeals from the su
perior courts.
Exactly the jurisdiction it is pro
posed this new court shall have, if
created, we do not know, but infor
mation is given us that only civil
cases below a certain amount will
be appealed to this court, and that
the decision of. the appellate court
will be final unTeBS a superior court
judge will issue a writ of error upon
which the case can be carried high
er, to the supreme court.
While the Home Journal is not
prepared to give technical reasons
why this court should not be estab
lished, we are inclined to the opin
ion that it is not needed, or at least
that it will not be worth the cosl in
accelerating the final decision of
cases appealed from the superior
courts.
Since early manhood this writer
has heard of the “over-crowded” su
preme court, aud we know that the
“relief” expected by the increase of
the number of supreme court jus
tices from three to six has not been
materially afforded.
Somehow, to the mind not filled
with teehnieai -knowledge of the
law, it seems that the Georgia su
preme court, with .six justices and
six stenographic clerks, might re
lieve the pressure if they use the
same measure of diligent applica
tion [that successful business men
display.
However, we are not expert in le
gal lore and practice, and have writ
ten this artiole merely to suggest
that our legislators consider faith
fully the best interests of the entire
Duffle of the state when this bill is
indented.
-Will it be worth to the people the
j> 15,000, or thereabout, that it will
cost the state annually?

TIECIED WELL

An interesting story is told of the
recent New York state republican
convention. ... It is to the effect that
Mr. Sheldon, whom Gov. Odell
would not have on the ticket with
him, was the candidate of Pierpont
Morgan, and that Mr. Morgan gave
Senator Platt a campaign contribu
tion of $100,000 with the under
standing Sheldon should be the
nominee for lieutenant governor. If
there is any truth in the yarn, Mr.
Morgan must have been thoroughly
mad at the outcome of the conven
tion, and Senator Platt must have
had a lot of explaining to do.—Sa
