BEWARE HUMBUGS
IN ALL POLITICS.
Continued from Eighth Pape.
Is it patriotism or self-seeking that
actuates the zealot for the dear peo
ple? The successful politician plays
a four-stringed violin and out of it
draws the sweet number of his own
success. String number one is this
same old corporation scare. The num
ber of tunes it has played for the dear
people who delight to be humbugged
is surpassing the imagination.
"String two is the capacity of the
aspirant to rectify the wrong. Just
make me judge and I will do him jus
tice. The fellow generally gets in.
but the situation stays the same. I
suppose they just keep it so for the
benefit of the next fellow.
"String number three, ‘close to the
dear people.’ I heard Lon Livingston
in the campaign that made him con
gressman play a beautiful little piece
on that string. He told them four
years ago I went around with Judge
Stewart and told you that he was
nearer to you than Nat Hammond.
That was true, but I want to tell you
now, I am just a little nearer you
than Judge Stewart. He convinced
them, and he keeps them convinced,
so the other fellow cannot get in.
The Clorl of Abase.
"But the biggest here is played on
strong number four, the abuse chord
that never fails. Just get abused If
you desire to be elected. The political
martyr is a much better Job than the
Christian martyr. The latter is buri
ed, left in the cold earth for centuries
and canonized by the sons of those
that burnt him. The former gets his
pie right away.
“Now, boys, you see how the mercen
aries are abusing me. They are about
to ruin me. It Is all for your sakes.
Your cause needs vindication and you
must just elect me. It never will do
for a poor, injured fellow like me to
fail.
"Only two boys at the bat and both
of them have knocked a home run
at the first strike. Vindicate me, says,
Morris, for they are abusing your leg
islator fellows. Vindicate me, says Os
borne, for they can't do anything but
abuse. They say we are entering a
new campaign. It Is going to be a cam
paign of martyrdom. It is good tfactics.
If I ever run for office or leadership
I am going to borrow some money and
hire at least one paper In every county
to abuse me out. The man who adopts
the 'no humbug’ doctrine won’t pay
much attention to the tunes played on
that string.
Reform the Watchword.
“Stick to the no humbug principle
and we are much amused at the pend
ing discussion. Reform is the watch
word of one apostle and already re
formed the refrain of the other. To the
man on the outside the role is peculiar.
The scriptures tell us that satan comes
in the form of an angel of light. It
looks like we have two satans and so
much light that the eyes of our dis
cernment are blinded.
“One comes with the trophies of vic
torious reform and writes a long story ,
of vindication. Some of us are dis
posed to credit a defeated candidate for
Governor and his campaign of two
years ago, Hall of Bibb, the editor
legislator of Chatham, and others with
the efficacy of that work.
“In the light of that wondrous rec
ord we cannot see how pure politics
and reform government is consistent
with acceptance of office by appoint
ment of the Governor on a board creat
ed during his term in the Legislature,
specially when so many things indicate
a tendency to use our schools for po
litical consideration.
Sniiplnnt!ng of Exnn Recalled.
“The story of Jacob's supplanting
Esau will come to our mind amid the
dazzle of coming reforms. Old Isaac’s
lament it is the voice of Jacob, but
Esau’s hand suggests a similar du
bious mental state. When the cor
poration reform issue Is made certain
questions concerning local institutions
will force themselves to the fore. I
give them utterance and leave the In
formed to answer.
“Has Savannah a machine govern
ment? Who is the controllng spirit of
the machine? Have we any corpora
tions in Savannah? What are their
relations to the machine? Are all the
ordinances of the city faithfully en
forced against these corporations?
Have they no undue influence in secur
ing privileges, exemptions in the exec
utive or judicial departments of our
government? Are their employes ab
solutely free to exercise thair fran
chise as they please without detri
ment to their standing with the cor
poration? Hoes affiliation with any po
litical organization help them In re
ceiving position with any corporation?
I do not affirm, I only ask careful
scrutiny, that there may be ‘no hum
bug' in our corporation reform move
ment.
Reform to Deform.
"Too many times men enter the
political reform door only to deform
the public purity. Some history in Sa
vannah might be studied with profit
on this line. I learned a lesson when
a school boy of this species of the
humbug. A league was organized by
some ambitious dullards against the
Greek letter fraternities. As many of
the new boys as they could saturate
with their tales of the Iniquities of
these societies were sworn in. It was
quite the thing. The election for an
niversaries came off, and the plotters
were successful. All at once their
zeal departed and the league was
gone. Office was the meaning of their
stories. Beware of humbug reform.
The real article is greatly needed, but
the fraud should be despised.
“The reform should bring forth fruit
meet for repentance. In the defense
of the old ring, there is nothing about
prohibition. An assault with attempt
to clear the corporations Is made, but
not a syllable about the whisky power.
The coast politician has nn open field.
Silence gives consent. So the assail
ed may be pronounced guilty on that
charge. Consistency will doubtless in
spire the accuser with great zeal for
temperance.
It ( for in nt Home.
"Reform will show itself at home In
Sunday closing and stricter adminis
tration of the liquor laws. Should we
not see signs In this direction would
not the Inference of pandering to pub
lic sentiment for purposes of ambition
be established? Open town is popular
in Chatham, so the politician helps it
on here. Anti-corporation is popular
In the country, hence he develops great
zenl there.
“Ax-grinding is the main business In
both places, hence the use of both
grindstones. Are we to depend on
these recent developments us the
growth of noble statesmanship? Are
they merely the use of new tool* to
•■instruct anew machine on the same
old principles? These ere questions the
future will solve.
"This Christmas Day the earnest
prsyer of the sincere will be thy King
dom come, He well knows that one
gleet sphere of that kingdom is that
of government. With enthusiasm he
will welcome the able, exnertenced
leader who really works In that direc
tion. Wisdom, 100, Will quest ion slid
•a'ion will demsnd 'no humbug’ he-
Mf' it fields Its full consent.’’

George Ade's quaint comedy drama,
“The County Chairman,” which Henry
W. Savage will offer on Monday, Jan.
2, was a hit of last season in New
York, where it ran for 312 perform
‘ances at Wadlack’s Theater follow
ing 111 performances at the Studebak
er Theater, Chicago. There are many
people on the stage during the play,
which contains forty-nine speaking
parts. The cast is hetided by Theo
dore Roberts, the distinguished char
acter actor, as Jim Hackler, the coun
ty chairman, and George Thatcher, the
veteran minstrel as Sassafras Living
ston, the shiftless darkey. Jim Hack
ler is a big bluff, big hearted, middle
aged bachelor, who controls the poli
tical organization of his county. He
is fond of quoting Shakespeare and his
catch line “As Bill says” was a fam
iliar laying in New York last season.
Sassafras is an idle, shiftless colored
man who sells his vote to the highest
bidder and names his children after
the candidates, but he is such a good
natured fellow that with all his faults
everybody likes him.
