The next presidential convention
of the republican party will be held
at Chicago on June 21st, 1904, The
time and place was fixed by the na
tional committee of that party in
session at Washington last Satur
day. Two delegates from Porto Ri
co wero with the committee.
Our readers will remember that
the Georgia legislature enacted last
summer a law providing for the use
of uniform text books in the public
schools of the state.
The duty of selecting these books
waB placed in the hands of a com
mission composed of Gov, Terrell j
Secretary of State Cook, Attorney
General Hart, Comptroller General
Wright and State School Commis
sioner Merritt. Bids were advertised
for, and a sub-commission of profes
sional teachers examined the books
and reported to the state commis
sion.
The bids first made were rejected,
being unsatisfactory. Other bids,
were called for and last week the
books were selected.
On the fourth page of this paper
a list of these books is published, to
gether with the present price at
which they are sold, and the price
at which they will be sold to the
children of Georgia under the con
tract with the state commission. In
buying the new books, old books
will be accepted at an exchange
price of about half the price paid
for the new books.
It will be seen that the books are
to be furnished by several publish
ing concerns. The con tract price
will be printed on eaoh book.
ihere will be a general repository
for these books in Atlanta, and at
least one agency in a town in each
county in the state.
When county boards of education
will undertake to distribute the
books a reduction in price will be
granted.
These books will be used in all
the publio schools of the state, inde
pendent systems excepted, and their
use will oontinue at least five years.
The use of these books will be
compulsory, and will begin as soon
as the publishers aan furnish them.
Some of the books adopted are now
in use in some of the public schools.
It is estimated that through this
contract the average price of the
books to be used is about 50 per
cent lower than the price now paid,
and that several hundred thousand
dollars will be saved to patrons of
public sehools in Georgia during the
ensuing five years, even oounting the
loss on the books now in use.
The selection was made with great
care, and the commissioners are to
Neither Mr. Cleveland nor Sena
tor Hanna have declared they would
not accept a nomination for the
presidency were it offered. Each of
these men is shrewd enough to
know that an unsought nomination
is better than if the candidate
should work earnestly and sharply
for it.
On Tuesday of last week Hon.
Bridges Smith was re-eleoted mayor
of Maoon, and Messrs. 0. E. Dam-
our, W. A. Wilder, W. J. Massee
and M. J. Redmond were re-eleoted
aldermen. At the same time the
vote authorized the issuance of
$60,000 of city bonds, to be used to
construct sewers in the annexed die
trict and to build an auditorial.
In his opening address to the na
tional republican committee in Wash
ington last Friday, Chairman Hanna
reiterated his 1900 campaign slogan:
“All that is necessary to success is
for the republican party to ‘stand
pat’ upon the principles and policies
of the party.” This is a variation
of the old truism that it is good to
let well enough alone. This is true
as to primary faot, but the people of
the country know that the principles
and polioies of the republican party
are not well enough, and it will not
be good to let them alone.

Wm
Hon. Carroll D, Wright, U. S.
commissioner of labor, says the
wages system will pass away, to be
superseded by a system of profit
sharing on a co-operative basis. This
declaration was made in an address
upon the “Wage Question” before
the Society of Ethical Culture in
Philadelphia one day last week. This
would make the laborers copartners
with the manufacturers, merchants,
farmers, etc., and would, Mr. Wright
and others believe, put a stop to the
almost continual strife between cap
ifcai and labor.
