Keen political observers have been watching tho elections held on Tuesday a omens of the fatnre coarse of political parties and person ages. It was freely predicted that If the Republicans had carried New Jer sey and Maryland, If Burton had defeated Tom L. Johnson, In Cleveland, which was really a national contest, then tho G. O. P. might feel so sure of victory next year as to risk a reactionary candidate after It* own heart, a man like Cannon or Fairbanks. For the elephant has followed the path of Roosevelt policies with much protest, with the necessity oftentimes of feeling tbo goad In the hands .of an able-bodied rider, and sometimes with groanlngs that could not he uttered. - The party would have been challenged by tho interests that have so long furnished the sinews of war to nominate their worst. But tbo fammiuiy victory In Now York, small as It was, over the combined strength of the Republican vote and the Independence League shows an amount of revolt within the party In that pivotal state and’an accession to the Democratic ranks that must both be reckoned with. . For the first time In years, New Jersey has elected a Democratic gov ernor. Even Rhdde Island gives indications of having reflected her Democratic chief executive. Maryland has put herself again in the Dem ocratic column. Burton has been defeated in Cleveland and tho only vic tory for the Republicans In any contest considered at nil doubtful has been In a Southern state. Kentucky. . - To say that the Republican leaders throughout the country are pret ty badly scared today as they read the returns Is to pot the matter mildly. Whaf must be the result? There will be redoubled pressure brought to bear upon President Roosevelt to heed the call of despairing Republi cans and save it from defat. The Taft boom for several reasons shows signs of collapse. It Is conceded by well-informed Republicans, that from present Indications, Bryan coyld beat Cannon or Fairbanks easily. Hughes haB had his prestige lowered somewhat by tho defeat In New York. And while there arc many life-long Republicans who hate Roose velt worse than tho devil does holy water, yet there Is one thing that Republicanism can never contemplate with any degree of equanimity and that Is defeat. f .’ , ’ ■ • . ] .Nor, |p spite of his present overwhelming popularity, would victory be absolutely assured-even if Roosevelt should lead again. The third t*nn^upei£tUlqf£ If you will, will cut. no small figure In the campaign. The “practical men.” of the Harrlman type, could hardly be expected to contribute to the campaign fund this time. In fact, It Is an open secret that the Wall-JUroti crowd In. geqeral would'prefer Bryan hi the White Hobsc'iOiib a Republican senate defying hfs. will, with tho excuse of par- tlsad politick,‘-and thus a deadlock In legislation, than-to see Roosevelt there again wielding hla big stick over a senate of his own party. If there is anything that the “interests” would like to see theso days, it would be a deadlock In legislation directed against them. So, today, In tbo kaleidoscopic changes which politics causes, it looks like Bryan and Roosevelt'in 1903 and Bryan or Roosevelt In 1909. And the discussion of a political campaign would show pretty plainly that Mr. Brynn had already “patented” the majority of “my policies.” and that the Republican Jove had really stolen Democratic thunder wherewith to shake the world. Tho American people are Just. They will know where to place the credit of orlglhallty' as Well na tbo credit of accomplishment. It will be a tots up which end of Jhe balance will kick the beam. But « 0'yball see whnt we ahall see. A RATHER HEALTHY INFANT. The Independence League of New York was organized scarcely four weeks ago., It polled 87,000 votes In the city In tbe last election. So that the man who is disposed to underestimate the force and the promise of such an organization in the advancement of pure, dean poli tics and independent thinking In civic affairs, must do so in defiance of the'facts and the record. i GENERAL WEST’S RETIREMENT. The ’president’ has established a jiostofflce at tho little town of Roeb- llng, N. J., because more babies are born there'diaii'ln any other town of lta size In (he United States. The men needdd somewhere to loaf. M. Antoine Lumiere of Paris has perfected n practical method of mak ing photographs In their natural col ors. And now all the fine ladles of Paris are being pictured In their—er. thnt is, are having their pictures made by M. Lumiere. Immediately after printing that In terview pn America by Geraldine Far rar. The Philadelphia Inquirer states that the supercilious artist Is the •laughter Of a former baseball favor ite in the States. 'Twas a nasty fling at the baseball favorite. We are pleased to note that algull- lc-ttes have been restored to naval uni forms by Secretary Metcalf. Aigul!- lettes add so much to the attractive ness and dignity of the naval uniform and Secretary Metcalf la to be con gratulated on his happy Idea. By tho way, can anybody tell ua wbat alguil- lettes are? Notwithstanding Secretary’ Taft’s ass< rtlomrto~npanese audiences that “rumors of"war were Infamous,” the defenses in tho Philippines are to be strengthened. The secretary of peace visits around and looks pleasant, but that doesn’t mean that the secretary of war Is off dutr. A man fh Baltimore shot-his wife, then killed himself; another in In dianapolis cut his wife's throat, then shot himself, and still another in Munclc, Itid., killed his wife and com mitted suicide. There would be no ■kick on these murderously inclined gentlemen following their fancy, If only they would begftr right. General Andrew J. Weil., whoso terrors commander of the Georgia ’’DivitfSS of tho Halted Confederate Veterans expires next'week in Au gusta, will not stand for te-electlon and the old veterans of the Lost Cause-will -hfivs to choose a new head of the state organisation. General West has been a gallant and beloved figure among the Con federate memories of Georgia and of the South. For forty years he has been a servant of the state and of thesb dear old soldiers without ever having received n dollar In salary for services that have beon distin guished and untiring. Ever since the days of Reconstruction he has becd n gracious, chlvalric and courteous figure among tbe public interests and enterprises of tho state and more partloulsrly among .those In which the old'veterans’bore ft pnrt.' ”1Tie‘flrB{ Confederate camp of veterans in tho slate was the work of hQi hands, unit With General Fierce Young ho organized the Georgia di vision of the Hulled Confodtruto Veterans, being first lieutenant' and ihen commander. As a reward of brilliant service, he was promoted to be ndjutant general of the Georgia Division, and several years later wag made brigadier general of the North Georgia Brigade. A year ago Gen eral West received the highest honor of the Confederate state organisa tion in being made major general and commander of the Georgia division. For eighteen years he acted as quartermaster general for the state, filling an office without remuneration which now pays $2,000 a year. . General West Is a type of man and gentleman whose example it is a ploasure to point to the younger generation of Georgians. Living in a strenuous and accumulative age of active and vigorous work, he has min gled with the commercial and practical sido of affairs a suavity of man ner, a grace of speech, and a charm of knightly courtesy, which have made him. a delightful figure both to see and to touch In tho walks of life. With a generous heart nnd a lavish hand he has always been ready to bear a citizen’s or a soldier's part In everything that made for tho honor of Gecrgla and for the glory of Ha gray battalions of memory. While yet In the very vigor of life and health retiring to give way to other men in tho position* of honor of his comrades and his friends, he carries with him a record that Is an Inspiration to courtesy, to gal lantry and to grace, which will surround him in hla retirement with the lova and the uffeetlon of the thousands who havo come In contact with him during theso strenuous and eff ectlve years. SENATOR CARMACK ATLANTA’S NEXT DISTINGUISHED GUEST. ••V .a'VA JO- ; The coming of Senator Carmack on Friday evening to lecture at Broughton’* Tabernacle for tbe Police Relief Association, one of our most popular public causes, Is a matter of more than ordinary Interest. It is a singular and unexplained faet that Atlanta has never heard Senator Carmack speak lieforp. Most of the distinguished men of this country at different times have been the guests of this city and have spoken to our people upon political, literary, or Industrial occasions. From presidents through the senato and the bouse on down into the dip- lomatlc corps, Atlanta has dipped her ladlo of hospitality and presented the genius and eloquence of the country and of the world to her people. For the first time Id her life will Atlanta have on opportunity on Fri day night to hear a speech from Senator Carmack, the brilliant and pop ular ex-senator from our sister state of Tennessee. And -it is doubtful If Atlanta, among all of its distinguished guests of past seasons, wilt have met a more brilliant personality and heard a moro-^eltghtful eloquence than that of the brilliant Tennessean. (Senator Carmack was rapidly coming to be the bright light of the American senate—at least from the Democratic side—before his retire ment at the last election. While Bailey perhaps may hare been more logical. Culberson more discreet and Tillman possessed of more sledge hammer force, it is certain that in fiery and impassioned eloquence the young senator from Tennessee was the Idol of the gallertea and the pride of his party throughout the country. Gallant, handsome, brave, eloquent and chivalrous, Ed Carmaek of Tennessee is one or tbe distinct personal and oratorical toasts of the country, and'tbo people of Atlanta having their first opportunity to lis ten to him Friday night wilt doubtless give to their eloquent and distin guished guest such su ovation as will cause him to remember Atlanta as Atlanta is surely to remember him. GOOD-BYE TO MAUDE ADAMS. When Maude Adams sits poised as Peter Pan in .the tree tops of her fairy residence tonight, and waves her sweet hand in salutation, it would be a meet and grateful thing if Atlanta's audience in front would rise and with waving handkerchiefs waft their good-byes of grateful recogni tion to the sweetest and most delightful memory of the dramatic year. Nothing sweeter, happier, cleaner and more daintily sentimental has been put upon the stage of the Grand Opera, House within the decade than this play of Peter Pan, and the dear little woman who, with a pure heart nnd a clean record has maintained from the first the l>e*t ideals and the cleanest traditions of the American stage,.has given it so dain tily and so delightfully that thla cultured and appreciative people of At lanta could do nothing better than wave her a Chautauqua salute as their parting expression when the curtain falls on tbo layt scene of tbe last act at her happy hour In fairyland.

Halstead, additional duty as assistant to Inspector of Every period of financial stringency, with Its resultant liquidation, has the same precipitating cause, which Is overspeculation; but the underlying causes are often more obscure, and that Is true to some extent In the pres ent stringency. The South Sea Bubble In London, the MIxaiffHppi Hubble In Paris, our own panics of 1837. 1837, 1873 nnd 1893, every one of these crises was pre cipitated by excessive speculation, though |n some of them there were other contributory causes. In the pres ent instance the contributory cause* are more numerous and more world-wide than ever before, and It Is, therefore, wise to consider them with an eye to tho discovery of « remedy. It will be noted that In our country these stringent times, which we call panics, are periodic In their coming. From 1837 to 18f»7 was 20 Vears. then to 1873 was 16 years, then to 1893 was 20 years, then to 1907 was 14 years. This gives us five of these periods In 70 yearn, and there Is no reason to doubt their coming here after with equal regularity unless we change our system. The wonderful Inventions of the last fifty years havo brought about a world wide development beyond any com parison with any previous period, and the legitimate business of the world has Increased at a ratio far greater than the Increase in the money of the world. This of Itself has placed a con stantly Increasing duty upon the-actual money and a greater dependence from year to year upon the substitutes for money. , , . . This might be borne for long periods If only legitimate business was con cerned, because In the exchange of nc-. tual commodities there is always actual value to sustain the transaction, hut when to the demands of legitimate business we add the demands of an excessive speculation and n premature development of the country. It can readily be seen that periodic break downs will occur. The present strln gency, therefore, is strictly logical and Is not due In any sense to a lack of confidence, or anti-corporation Iritiu- ences at work, as some superficial thinkers assert, but Is the result of an Insufficient supply of money for the demands made upon it. Prematura Development. Let us consider this question of pre mature development briefly. In the past thirty years our people have, with the aid of machinery, subdued a con tinent larger tliun ull Europe with Its four and a half times our population. This has been both unnecessary and unwise. It has been especially unwise To illustrate, on a recent date one large bank In New York had as part of Its assets $53,000,000 of stocks and only $37,000,000 of loans and discounts. The oretically this Is a commercial bank; It Is also a national bank. All this year there has been a great demand for money for commercial uses and at good rates, but here we see a great bank de liberately deserting the business of the country to speculnte upon the stock market; This is one of numerous In stances among metropolitan banks. But this Is only the lesser part of the evil. The great metropolitan banks furnish the sinews of war to the speculators on margins, to the cotton and grain future dealers and bent upon making abnor mal profits keep themselves so closely loaned up to the promoters and specu lators that when the demand comes for money to move tho actual cotton and grain crops there Is an annual shortage nnd constantly recurring appeals to the United States treasury for help. The Railroads. In the present stringency the rail roads nre an indirect factor through ex cessive Issues of securities, thua help ing out the speculative movement and to some extent they have been tho cause of economic waste, but tho so- called "war on the railroads” has ho more to do with the present crisis than the grand lama of Tibet has. It would have come if no finger had been lifted against the railroads and as a result of the causes above enumerated. It Is well to stop and consider for a moment for the benefit of our friends who are alarmed about the cessation of railroad building this pregnant fact: With about one-nineteenth of the world's popula tion we have one-hnlf the railway mile age of the world. At this stage of our discussion about railroads It seems to me that In squab bles over freight rates and passenger fares we nre In danger of losing sight of the real Issues Involved. The vital question, It appears to me, In railroad rates Is not so much as to the amount charged as thnt there shall be no dis crimination. If all pay equal rates for the same service the cost of that serv ice will in due time reach the proper level. The second vital question is that railroad corporations shall not be al lowed to dip Into governmental affairs with a view to securing favors. Give the railroads justice and make them do justice and there will soon be no con troversy. Remedies Suggested. It is a poor doctor who, after diag nosing a disease, fears to prescribe a remedy.

Gregory, purporting to give the only real facts In tho Jones boys murder trial, a month after It had ended, may be misleading to those Georgians and reader* of The Georgian who nre unacquainted with the writer of the article. Putnam county needs no defense at the hands of citlsens wh? would brand her to tho world with a spirit of Injustice worse than that, of Hrenthltt county, Kentucky. The grand old commonwealth has too long been ,minted to with pride for. her noble cltlsenry and clean criminal record to be besmirched by a card writer of !. Lest tl Gregory's type. " Lest those who read hi* card should think the three funds' mental principle* of wisdom, Justice and moderation were unknown In Put nam, It may he well to point to the apparent motive of this card w-iiter, who poses hh the Incarnation of wis dom and Justice, and condemns the moderntlon and even the sanity of twelve of Putnam's beet citlsens, who composed the Jury which tried the case of the Jones boys. The newspaper re- poricrs, all known to the writer, hold positions of honor and trust In this community nnd were manifestly fair and impartial In their versions of the trial, ns the stenographic court record* would show. J. K. Gregory Is n hireling of the Jones family, nnd runs a country store, owned by Jim Jones, a brother of Albert nnd Queed. As soon as he hears of Queed’s securing a new trial nnd Attorney John B.

If It should be In another coun ty. Ae to n change of venue. It Is freely slated thet over one hundred ellrlble Jurors could be secured In Put nam at any lime to try the case.

Now. tt Is true that the actual profit or Increase of wealth In the country In any given year, though - large In amount, is but a small percentage of tho total wealth of the country. Thu* If our total labor product from field and mine and factory Is 24 billions in a given year, the chances arc thnt It will take 21 billions for the living of the people In that year and tho net gain will be three billions, or, say. 3 per cent Increase of the national wealth. Thla Is a very large amount In Itself, but If we at once proceed to Increases, expansions and new enterprises calling for four billions, It can be seen that we have overstepped the available cao- Ital, and a continuance of this policy Is alone sufficient to cause these periods of stringency. ' This Is precisely what Is going on. Where Speculation Comes In. In addition to this exorbitant de mand made by people In too great a hurry, but whose efforts nre along the line of nctual work done, we Have to reckon with the speculator. A financial Journal published In New York city Is authority for the statement that three thousand live hundred millions of “water” hus been Injected In railroad and Industrial securities dealt In on the New York Exchange In Ihe past eleven years. Thus In one city we find In eleven years an Injection of “water" greater by 500 millions than all the ac. tual money .In the United States. This “water" represents no actual value, no new Investment, no work done, being merely the capitalized greed of the men who do the watering. Once on the market, though, with the stock ex change as the vehicle and the stock waterers as drivers, a speculative value Is soon given to the stuff and large amounts of money become necessary to carry on this stock manipulation, which represents no real value. To such an extent 1ms this speculating In stocks been carried that It has been no uncommon thing to see non-dtvldend paying stocks forced up to high levels, ami to see stocks paying 4, G nnd naturally follows, as human greed can never be satisfied, that the gen tlemen drivers of the stock exchange vehicle get ao elated after a few years of success that they put on too much steam and then comes the explosion, often maiming or destroying the Inno cent bystander. , Even this Is not all; we have cotton exchanges, similar to the stock ex changes. where It Is estimated that the speculation Is carried to such an ex tent that "contracts" are traded In to the amount of fifty times the nctual cotton produced. Then we have "hoards of trade.” which do to grain what the cotton exchange doe* to eotton. It Is the result of the strenuous ef forts of these various classes of spec ulators which every time act as the precipitating cause of panics. Are the Banks to Blame? Broadly speaking, the metropolitan banks are to blame and the country |o sell that which ho does not own. Out of nothing, nothing comes, and It Is ab solutely true that gambling (which we politely call speculation) has never added anything to the wealth of the world, but lias been the most prolific source of trouble, and while It Is truo that all the profits of gambling Inure to the benefit of a few, the losses are paid by all the people. Premature de velopment should be discouraged and here again the banks can help by tha exercise of Judicious scrutiny of tha promoters' schemes. Georgia would suffer no loss If not another acre of land In the state was opened up for ten years to come, for the acres now cultivated would be vastly bettered, t’ut out gambling, cut out the economic waste resultant upon premature development and the situation will not only soon bo relieved, but will slay relieved ao long as that policy la maintained. On the other hand, 35,000,000,000 of new money injected Into the currency would do no good If we arc to maintain the policies of the past, because Ilka causes always produce tike results and no quackery will cure blood poisoning.
