tn a special dispatch to a Buffalo
paper from Lincoln, Nebraska, Mr.
Bryan's home town, It is afllrmed that
he aaya he will not accept a renoml-
natlon from the Democratic party pro
viding the president Is renominated.
To quote tho dispatch, "Mr. Bryan
feels that Preildent Roosevelt Is pro
gressing so rapidly toward the radical
stand which he himself took In his
two campaigns that no harm can be
done tho party's principles by giving
tho president an uncontested election
so far aa the Democracy Is concern
ed."
Barring the politicians who are
out of a job and the capitalists
who do not like to be hampered In

osition.—Caienovla New York Re

Y'es. the mass of the voters are all
right. The mass only apeak once In

cians talk all the time. Dut one ex

It has come to the peas that when
the wise old serpents of Well etreet
wish a presidential candidate shelved,
they proceed to advocate him. It Is a
pretty trick, and Senator Daniel la its
latest victim.
OH, VES, WE HAVE CRITICISED THE PRESIDENT.
The Charlotte Observer and some Virginia newspapers which quote
It, feel that they have made a great find In an editorial which The Geor
gian and News wrote soma years ago condemning President Roosevelt
after the alleged Booker Washington dining.
The Incident Is thoroughly trivial and hat no real bearing on the
present discussion In which Tho Georgian Is engaged.
It baa been four years since that editorial, and both the president
and The Georgian are progressive Individualities. The president gives
abundant evidence that he has learned much from that event, and has
largely reformed bis Ideas by a closer contact with the Southern people.
If anything Is clear to the thoughtful observer It Is the fact that the
president has been greatly disillusioned upon the negro question and that
he Is not only at this time thoroughly normal but genuinely half South
ern In his view of the negro race and Its relations to the superior race.
Any fair-minded observer will concede the general disappearance of the
presidential policy In appointing negroes to office during these last two
years. No fair-minded observer will fall to recall tho vigor of the presi
dent In prosecuting the Brownsville murderers and to observe the educa
tion which unreasoning negro protest over that Incident haa brought to
bli mind.
Moreover, It Is generally established In the testimony of those who
are In a position to know that Booker Washington was not Invited to
dinner at tho president's table and was merely casually asked to share
a luncheon sent over on a waiter to the president's private office while
the negro leader was engaged with the president In a serious considera
tion of the affairs of hU raco In the South.
That Booker Washington eagerly accepted the half-hearted lnvlta-
tatlnn was doubtless as much of a surprise to the president as It was
disagreeable to tho country at largo.
The Georgian has nothing to retract from the editorial which It wrote
concerning this Incident at the time that it occurred and upon the public
reports which were made of It before the truth became known.
Nor yet does The Oeorglan pretend In any degree to be an unlimited
Indorser of the president or to be In any way blind to hla fallibility and to
tho Impulsive blemishes upon his great career.
Our friends of Charlotte and Lynchburg and other cltleB aro merely
quibbling over on Incident which haa no real relation to our general prop
osition. We have never claimed perfection for tho president nor express
ed any complete concurrence with all hla views and all bla policies.
What we have said In the beginning and what we say now la that we
reckon the regulation of predatory wealth as the transcendent and over
shadowing Issue of the times In which we live. And wo challenge the
record and tho Intelligence of the people with the assertion that the presi
dent Is bettor equipped In comprehension of this Issuo and hla hold upon
tho agencies and tho machinery that aro lighting the people's battle than
any man now upon the horizon of public life, or any man that Is likely to
appear upon It In time to take advantage of the peculiar and favorable con
ditions for the solution of our greatest national problem.
We take occasion of our own volition to remind The Charlotte Observ
er and tho Virginia papers that wo have written other articles In criticism
of President Roosevelt. These wore thoroughly sincere and they are to
day exlBtent without apology and without regret. It Is also likely that we
shall havo other occasions In time to como to differ from tho presi
dent's policies and to say so without hesitation.
But at this tlmo the fact stands unrefuted and unanswerable that the
president Is the best equipped man In all the republic to fight the great
est battle that tho people have ever joined, and that It would be unspeaka
ble folly to displace him Ita the very crisis of the conflict for an untried
leader without the machinery ot battle or the prcstlgo of victory In hla
hands.
Tho trouble with tho Charlotte and Lynchburg papers Is that they
each belong to the ult ra conservative Parker Democrats who are half Re
publicans In their political alignment, and who aro not really In sympathy
with the great fight which tho president Is making for tho people against
predatory wealth.
VINDICATING BAILEY OP TEXAS.
That Is good news that comes to us from Texas through the col
umns of tho over loyal and reliable Houston Post, In the matter of Sena
tor Bailey.
A nuws dispatch In The Post of Sunday, commenting on certain
phases of the Wators-PIcrco Oil Company ouster suit just con
cluded at Austin, Texas, la quite Interesting In view of some an
tecedent history. It will be remembered that last winter, when
this case was continued, tbo state made a demand on the defense
to produce certain records by which It was proposed to ahow that the oil
company had tiald sums of money to Senator Bailey, and that tho attor
ney general In an open letter named and particularly specified these
vouchers.
It waa charged by Senator Bailey and hla friends, at the time, that
these vouchers! or records, had no bearing on the case In hand, and that
the action of the attorney general In the premises was simply a part of
a conspiracy to defame, to destroy If poaslblo, the senator and prevent
hla re-election to the senate.
This chargo has been amply and overwhelmingly confirmed by the
proceedings of the trial just ended. Not a single ono of these record* re
lating to Bailey was offered In evidence, and not even tho testimony
of Gruett, tbo chief and star witness from whom the state obtained tho
Information used for political purposes against Bailey by Attorney Gen
eral Davidson, saw the light of day In this trial.
And The Pott aaya In conclusion 'when all the facta tn this most re
markable transaction como out the people ot Texaa ai a whole will know,
what many have known all along, that Senator Bailey has been made the
victim of if conspiracy, the meanest and foulest that ever disgraced this
or any other state.
Great nows this. Tho court development which give* back Bailey
stainless to Democracy will be remembered and rejoiced In for more than
a generation.
one upon another bad Imprisoned a rattlesnake, who without vindic
tive complaint looked at the gentleman wftb appealing eyes and rattled
that portion of hip tall which was left free In a distinct call for help. Be
ing himself a humane man, and fully realizing the mental superiority of
Georgia snakes to Texas serpents, the gentleman pushed the stone from
th.e back of the snake and stepped back for a few momenta to see what
It would do. The serpent took only a few moments to re-establish his
. rather numb physical relations with his own body, and cllmed down
the pile ot stone straight to the feet of his benefactor. Holding bis cane in
bis hand In view of any possible failure of the civilized faculties ot the ser
pent, our Georgian fearlessly awaited results. The quake came straight
up to the gentleman and without thinking for a moment ot placing him
self In that historic coll which means danger and attack, proceeded to
move In circles about hi* benefactor's feet, shaking hi* rattles and wink
ing hla eyes In a state of high and grateful appreciation. He circled around
hla benefactor, he ran between hla feet, he brushed amiably and joyously
around hla lower limb* and then stretched himself quietly at full length
at the feet of the man.
Fully satisfied that the snake was maintaining the beat traditions
of gratitude and character which the Georgia serpent has attained, the
Georgian turned and started back to the house. When he reached the
door he waa astonished to see that the rattler waa gratefully following at
hla heels. With the ladles of his family away from home, the Georgia
man determined to give the reptile hla way. The snake followed him
docilely Into the house, stopping when his benefactor stopped and mov
ing In proportion. When the gentleman sat down to read the evening
Georgian Juat laid on hla table the rattler complacently curled himself
at bis benefactor’s feot and went to sleep. When the gentleman retired
to bed that night the snake crawled tranquilly and' quietly up the post
and curled himself like a foot warmer on the lower edgo of the bed. Thor
oughly confident of bis good Intentions, our Georgia naturalist went tran
quilly to sleep with his friend of the rock pile as his companion and guar
dian. This happy relation continued for a week or more until the man
became as dependent upon the serpent os the serpent did upon the man.
Frequently In the night time he awaked and always found his faithful
and grateful guardian at his feet.
One night, however, the gentleman, aroused In the middle ot the night
by some disturbance, discovered that bis bed fellow was not In bed. He
looked for him quietly about tho room In the moonlight. Not being able to
discover him he finally turned on the gas. Tho rattler was nowhere to
be seen. Hearing a noise, however. In the adjoining room, our Georgian
softly opened his door and there to his amazement ho discovered that a
burglar had entered the house In the middle of the night and had been
halted by this Georgia rattlesnake, who after a scuffle In behalf of his bene
factor had succeeded In wrapping himself around the neck of the burg
lar with tho upper part of his body while his tall protruding from the
window waa vigorously sounding the rattle call for a policeman!
Now If the “nature fakir" of Tho Houston Post has anything In the
animal life of Texaa which can establish a higher character for his snakes
than this, he Is welcome to proceed.

THE SNAKES OF TEXAS AND GEORGIA.
A
Tho unreasoning and omnivorous pride of Tho Houston Post In everjr
product of Texas hah now reached that condition of dementis Texts In
which It Is actually boasting of the snakes of that commonwealth.
After a successful comparison of every. other product of Georgia
with the limited variety of things which come from Texas, we are not
disposed to shirk a comparison with that great and boastful state even In
tho matter of snakes.
We concede frankly In the beginning that they have more snakes In
Texas than we hsvo In Georgia. Candor also compels us to relate that
these snakes are more venomous In their character then ours, ntoro vi
cious In their habits, more predatory In their relations to the human race
and more vindictive tn cherishing an animosity which they have arous
ed In any previous encounter, either with serpents or animals or men.
Tho ono point of pre-eminent superiority which we claim for our
Georgia snakes Is In their Intelligence and In their thoroughly amiable
dispositions. It has keen many years since s Georgia serpent has bitten
a human being. This is doubtless due to tho Intelligent conception on
the part of the Georgia snake that the new product of cors whisky
which has been recently developed to great perfection In this state It
so peculiarly besting to the bite of the reptile that the wise and Intelli
gent sorpent of Georgia has long since reached the philosophic conclu
sion that It It vsln to bite a Georgian so long ss the perfect sntldoto Is
to easily and generally at hand.
