•V rites and Writes an I Writes.,
The pneumatic-tired editor of the
. >i- patch started out to argue a
Cion from a standpoint of utili
• then fell back on “preference,”
:u d lastly calls up a matter of
■ ight.” If preference v, as all, we
suppose all of us would he found
about together. The question be
puts as a poser, “lias a railroad the
right to decline to renew a contract?”
b an easy one: ~So corporation-of
r.,-,y kind has a right to discriminate;
it cannot make fish of one and flesh
of another, without laying itself lia¬
ble to accountability to the people,
who have granted special privileges
consideration of the preservation
©.! a strict neutrality.—Tifton Ga
- : . 8 .
The Dispatch “started out” to
xplain why it declined an invita
i ion to join in a fight against the
Georgia Southern because that road
declined to renew advertising con-
1 racts on the exchange basis with
.newspapers along its line. After.giv¬
ing the subject careful study, the
! lispaleh took the position that there
was no cause for a.fight against the
road, and declined to assist in gnaw.
ing a file, at the same, time express¬
ing a “preference” for cash contracts
with railroads, instead of the slip
hod exchange plan. The conten¬
tions of the Dispatch have never been
reproduced in the Gazette, but that
paper has pretended to reply to
each of them, without, however,
having done soon a single instance.
Volubility will not, answer for ar¬
gument.
The Gazette has not answered the
last query of the Dispatch, unless
the “accountability” referred to can
force a corporation to discriminate
against itself. Railroad , corpora¬
tions give nothing away. Rest as¬
sured that the big dailies carry
no free passes. There is an ex¬
change of values, and should this
exchange cease- to be profitable to
the roads, the so-called free passes
would also cease to be issued.
The esteemed Gazette has dis¬
closed nothing that justifies it in
the position it has assumed-, and
this fact it will learn for itself
sooner or later.
As stated before, the Dispatch
would be glad to know' the country
editors had all the railroad passes
they could profitably use, for they
need them in their business; but the
roads have a clear right to withhold
them if they so desire, and there is
no rightful ground for kicking that
we have been able to discover.
The president’s expansion policy
is wholly un-American.
Our legislative like our judicial
system is too bunglesome to be prof¬
itable.
The people of Georgia want bal¬
lot reform—but wanting and getting
are widely different things.
Some-of the papers are just now
openings their eyes to the f act that
Senator I’acon is a statesman.
Tbe Filipinos seem disposed to
resent Uncle Sam’s fatherly atten¬
tions. They evidently, look upon
him as a bogus daddy .
Leon Hanlon, recently associate
editor of the Dispatch, has severed
his connection with the paper and
wiH take a much-needed rest of a
few months before engaging in some
other business. May success attend
him.
J hat some ay crow giih8 , are- very
nice to their mothers before
company, but they make things hot
when no one’s iiresent.— Matltuu
Urundv, 111 Ileralu.
Speaking of the failure of the leg¬
islature to pass a ballot reform
law, among other things, the East¬
man Times, a user of vigorous En
gjj s { )} says: “Hut a change is., cotn
iug. Tlie sleeping sentinels of an
nV otrvnpiible ballot are arousing
themsel t0 t , C0U Hicl, ’ and when
the time for action comes they will
put on the armament of pure and
undeiiled, democracy, and abc.ye the
wreck of political corruption and
damnable methods will wave the
banner of right triumphant over
wrong—a pure and untrammelled
ballot triumphant over the voice of
tlie political- scalawag and his venal
imps.” The present legislature will
convene again- in the fall and they
will then have more time to consid
er this important question¬
Are tlie leading men of Oeil’la do
ing anything toward- securing the
Waycress. Air-Line railroad? If not,
why not?
