GOVERNOR'SPEAKS AT DEMOREST, GA. Reforms Must Be Carried Through to the End, Says Chief Executive. Apodal to The Georgian. Demorest, Oa., Sept. 30.—Governor Hoke Smith spoke here today before a large gathering of the people of Ilaber- shnni and Banks counties and the ad jacent section. A big barbecue was t one of the features.of the day. The governor was emphatic In stat ing his determination to press forward the reforms which received the Indorse ment of the people last yiar by sucli an overwhelming majority. It was very dear from what he said, that ho In tends to redeem every campaign pledge and make good every plank of the plat form. He first discussed disfranchisement, taking up the various provisions of the bill under which a citizen could roglster and vote. He explained that the old re quirement os to paying taxes still ex isted. He explained fully and ho satis fied the audience that there was not a white man in the gathering who cobid not register and vote under the const! tutlonal amendment. He urged the lm purtanco of this amendment os a per manent protection against the great mass of Ignorant negro voters of Geor gia, and stated that the constitutional! ty of the proposed law could not be successfully questioned. The governor then discussed the sub Ject of government by the people. He advocated Axing a time for all the prl maries and the modo In which nomlna tlons are to bo mado for all oflico-hold ers by statute low. Urge* Primary Law. In this connection, among other things, lie Mild: “The beneAts of popular government can only be obtained when elections speak the Intelligent patriotic will of the voters. The passes of the peoplo not actively engaged In the manipula tion of politics aro entitled to the free- cst and fullest opportunity to register ut the ballot boxes their wishes as to who shall represent them in every pub lic offlee, "As in Georgia our Democratic pri maries really amount to elections, in these primaries the voters should be given an opportunity to declare their preferences free from any hindrance at the hands of machine politicians. You aro all entitled to know long In advance Just when your primary for county of ficers will take place; Just when your primary for the legislature, for state house officers and for congressmen will take place, and a fixed plan for maklni the nominations should be establishes so that an executive committee which happens to be in control of the machin ery of the party can not manipulate either the time of the nomination nor the mode of nomination to defeat the will of the people, and to sustain the particular candidate to whom the mem bers of the committee may be attached. •'Men are already announcing for the legislature because they do not know whether an early or a latp primary will take place. The same Is also truo of county officers. “If we knew that the primary for the legislature and county offices would not take place until tho«mlddle of Sep tember of next year, the public would Vm» relieved from unnecessary agitation and candidates assured In advance that the voters would have a free and full opportunity for expressing their wishes." • Unwise to Elect Too Early. In this connection, the governor called attention to the fact that it was Important to have office-holders elected a« short a period as possible before the time they are to take office. He said, among other things: "Our present system of electing the legislature and state house officers one year with the term of service to com mence the next year Is unwise, both on account of the time they are elected before the service begins and for the further reason that In many Instances they are elected long before the old term of service ceases. The last ses sion of the legislature should adjourn and the records of the members of the legislature should be made up before the people vote again for members of the legislature. In this way alone can an Intelligent selection of public serv ants. based upon the character of their service, be reached. Should Be a Change. "1 think we should either change the time for the section of the legislature or change the time for election of the members of the legislature. We should either elect our governor and state house officers at a much later time than •hey are now elected or we should com- rnence the period of their service at a viuch earlier time than it is now com menced." The governor then discussed the great ugglo which has been In progress b 'ween . corporate greed and the n %h#*s of the people. He called at- t- L-i^n to the fact that the fight had n t been limited to Georgia; that it had BOX SCORE OF GAMES IN THE GREEN EXTRAS Detroit and Philadelphia, of the American League, play a double-header at Philadelphia today.' Detroit' is but seven points ahead of Philadelphia in the pennant race.

Another Fact to Discredit the Calamity Howler The Liquid Carbonic Company. S-7-9 and It Nelson Street. AUahta, Ga, September 28, 1907. Your paper haa doubtless been very severely criticised by a number of well-meaning people on account of your position on the prohibition question. 1 know that a great many people honestly believe prohibition will drive a great dear of capital from the city and state. That tt will drive some capital away Is admitted, but I am pleased to advise you that a great many of the saloonlsts. and especially the ones of large mumetal Interests, are going to remain here and Invest their money In n different line of business. As an Illustration of this I beg to Inform you that during the past week twe of the largest and most prominent saloons of this city, namely. Tho Mecca, at 17 Marietta street, und J. T. McCoI- lough A Son. 166 Peter* street, have placed orders with us for very handsome modern soda fountains, costing over 36,000 each, and they In tend to dispense soft drlnkc on an even more elaborate scale than they are at present serving alcoholic drinks. Tills shows that the capital Is going to be kept here and Invested In a much belter cause. I think you will agree with me that this Is a very convincing answer'to those calamity howlerr who are claiming that the busings Interest# will be driven away from our city. LIQUID CARBONIC COMPANY. C. H. Walker, Manager. Canton, Ohio, Sept. 30.—Surrounded on every hand by dense throngs of hu manity kept In check only by the United States soldiers and militia on guard, President Roosevelt began the principal address of the day, a tribute to former President William McKinley, nnd commemorating the dedication of tho McKinley memorial. Ills address wns confined almost ex clusively to his predecessor in office, U liMf.- imtlni*'ly I'tid was tho work ..f an Hi - rotiiai k* worn greeted by thunderous cheers and tho utmost en- > thuslasm prevailed. President Roosevelt said: "We are gathered today to pay our meet^ of respect and affection to the memory of William McKinley, who, as president, won a nlace In the hearts of the American peoplo such ns but three or four of all tho presidents of this country have ever won. lie was of singular uprightness arid purity of character, alike In public und in private life; a citizen who loved peace, he did his duty faithfully und well for four years of war when the honor of the ii ' i n called him to arms. As con gressman, as governor of his state, and dually • president, he rose to tho fore- mom place among our statesmen, reaching a position which would satisfy the keenest ambition; but he never lost that simple and thoughtful klndne*,* to ward every human being, great or small, lofty or humble, with whom ho was brought In contact, which so en deared him to our people. He had to grapple with more serious and complex problems than any president since Lin coln, and yet, whJto meeting every de mand of statesmanship, he continued to live a beautiful nnd touching family life, a life very healthy for this nation to M'f III Its fun-most citizen; und now the woman who walked In tho shadow ever aft. r his death, the wife to whom Ills loss was a calamity more crushing than It could be tri any other human being, lies besldo him here In the same sepulcher. There is a singular appropriateness In tho Inscription on his monument. Mr. Cortelyou, whose relations with him were of such close Intimacy, gives me the following Information about it: On the president’s trip to the Pacific slopo In the spring of 1901, President Wheeler, of the University of Califor nia, conferred tho. LL. I), upon him In words so well chosen thnt they struck the fastidious taste of John Hay, then secretary of state, who wrote and asked for a copy of them from President Wheeler. On the receipt of this copy ho sent the following letter to Presi dent McKinley, a letter which now seems filled with a strango und uncon scious prescience. "'Dear Mr. President: President Wheeler sei\t mo tho Inclosed at my request. You will have tho words in more permanent shape. They seem to me remarkably well chosen and stately and dignified enough to serve—long hcnca please God—as your epitaph. 'Yours faithfully, •JOHN HAT/ 'University of California, 'Office of the President. "By authority vested In me by the regents of the University of California, I confer the degree of doctor of laws upon William McKinley, president of the United States, a statesman singu larly gifted to unite the discordant forces of the government and mold the diverse purposes of men toward pro gressive and salutary action, a magis trate whose poise of Judgment has been tested nnd vindicated in a succession of national emergencies; good citizen, brave soldier, wise executive, helper and leader of men, exemplar of his peo ple of the virtues that build and con serve the state, society and the home. "'Berkeley, May 16, 1901/" “It would be hard to Imagine an epi taph which a good citizen would he more anxious to deserve or one which would more happily describe the quali ties of that great and good citizen whose life we her** commemorate. He possessed to a very extraordinary de gree the gift of uniting discordant forces and securing from them a har monious action which told for good government. From purposes not mere ly diverse, but bitterly conflicting, he was able to secure healthful action for the good of the state. “In both poise and Judgment he rose level to the several emergencies he had to meet as leader of the nation, and, like all men with tho root of true great - ness in them, he grew to steadily larger stature under the stress of heavy re sponsibilities. Ho was a good citizen and a brave soldier, a chief executive whose wisdom entitled him to the trust which he received throughout tho na tion. Ho was not only a leader of men, but pre-eminently a helper of inen; for one of his most 'narked traits was the intensely human quality of his wide and deep sympathy. Finally ha it- t ni.f’lv preached, he was. that most valuable of nil citizens in a de- cy like ours, a man who In th#
