The Salt Lake Tribune thinks: The

of the cow.

The St. Louls Globe-Democrat notes
that: Anarchy defends its red flag with
the assertion that it is =ot a cry for

plea is a childish dne,
Did you know what a musical com

“Kings are only men.” The expres

are not that, protests the New York
Globe. And this is why republlcs re

their chances on presidents. Cecasion

however, and becomes a democracy by
virtve of the example of the man at
the helm.
Few people realize how large and
important a Huguenot settlement was
made on Staten Island some 200 years
ago, observes the New York World. It
‘seems a great pity that in the rush of

produced.
The landowner must have interests

argues the Wall Street Journal, as

| The Will of the People.
! (Atlanta Journal,)
| There are several thousand people
iln Georgia today, temporarily uu
' horsed by the will of the majority,
| who will turn with the sunniest of
' smiles to their successful adversaries
|as soon ag they have finished rubbing
}their astonished eyes, and extend the
iright hand of fellowship,
l The world loves a good loser, and
|BO far as it is possible to win victory
| from defeat, those who have been
(overcome will summon good nature
land calm philosophy frem temporary
reverses and face the future as hope
fully and as confidentally as those
who wear the laurels of the vistor,
“The man worth while
Is the man who can smile
When everything goes dead wrong.”
The latest reports from the ambu
lance corps would indicate that the de
feat was not a disordered rout, for it
‘was according to all probability tha
closest contest the state of Georgia
has ever seen. When counties waver
‘in the balance for hourg and give a
Imajority of one or ten or fifty, it can
| hardly be successfully maintained
that the victor is entitled to a Roman
triumph, At the same time it was a
victory, and the successful contes-
Itants shall have all the tribute they
|could ask, except our tears.
] With a sunny self-confidence, we
| greet our victorious adversaries and
|return to the allimportant task of
upbuilding the city, the state and the
nation, -

of Wednesday night and a rush was
made for them, and an impromptu pa
rade was formed.
At the head strode a man who car
ried aloft on his stick a large loat of
“Brown Bread.” This caught the
crowd. The parade continued until
far in the night. .
The city was out for a mnight of it,
and a night of it was had. Every
time a bulletin was flashed on the
screen favorable to the crowd which
was watching, a cheer went up which
was heard all over town,
Every building in the city was bril
liantly illuminated, and Atlanta took
on -a carnival appearance.
It was Atlanta’s gala night, and one
which will long be remembered as the
culmination of the most spectacular
campaign ever seen in the south.

Sanity, Justice and Conservatism
Triumph,
' (Atlanta Constitution.)
For the first time in the history of
Georgia, indeed, for the first time in
the history of the nation, a governor
and his policies have been rejected
after one term by the same party
which placed him in power.
The sowing of the wind has brought
its harvest, and the whirlwind of pro
test has swept the state.
Unlooked-for, unexpected, scarcely
believed within the bounds of possi
bility, that result has, nevertheless,
come—come teeming with a signifi
cance that expands as thought dwells
upon it, until thought itself is lost
still in incredibility.
There is no man in Georgia, be he
supporter of Smith or Brown, who
As a result of the nomination of Jo
seph M, Brown as the democratic can
didate for governor, Hon. Albert H.
Cox of Atlanta will be one of the four
delegates from the state at large to
the national democratic convention at
Denver. Mr. Cox is the only man who
ever went before the people as a can
didate for delegate to a national con-

candidates were in the field.
was, prepared for the overwhelming
force of the popular protest which
has swept the state.
But it will yet be at least a day
before either side can come to full
realization of what has happened.
~ Untll then, until tha people have
had time to collect their reason and
‘ponder calmly upon the weighty mean
ing of the people’s voice, discussion of
‘the significance of the result would
‘be useless and out of place.
The Constitution will, later, discuss
‘in detalled and analytical manner the
meaning of the verdict of Thursday’s
primary.
In the meantime it can only be said
that the supreme will of the people
‘has been reglstered at the polls, and
‘that will is a return in Georgia to
sanity, justice and conservatism.

Deadly Work Done by Gas in
Colorado Mine.
Property Destroyed and Many Head of
Stock Killed---Charles City Suf
fered the Most.
Silverton, Colo.—Six men are dead,
“ight others in a critical condition and
thirty more are temporarily confined
to their hom=2s by gas poisoning suf
fered in the Gold King mine at Glad
stone. 2
Fire destroyed the engine house of
the mine, and also the shaft house.
The two buildings wer2 near the doors
of the main shaft, and to prevent the
spread of the flames and smoke to the
workings of the mine, these doors
were closed temporarily. Th 2 men
working the night shift in the mine
were informed of the conditions on
the surface and instructed to with
draw. When the flames had been 2x
tinguished three men failed to come
out of the mines. Efforts to rescae
them were made. Th 2 first men to
enter the mina returned in haste and
informed those in waiting that the
mine was filled with gas.
Two rescue parties ware formed,
and the men started into the mine in
groups of five by meang of the elec
tric elevator. The air generated by
th 2 motion of the elevator had cleared
the atmosphere_in the elevator shaft
so that bat little discomfort was ex
perienczd there. sSoon after a score
or more of rescuers had entzred the
mine, some of those last in appearad
at the foot of the*elevator shaft car
rying the unconscious forms of rescu
ers who, had succumbed to the nox
ious air, \
Later a party reached the surface,
bringing the decad body of Victor Er
ickson and the almost lifeless bodies
of John Sumston and Otto Johnson,
the three men whose absence caused
the necessity for rescu2 work, The
others who perished or were injured
were of the rescue parties.
