The New Convict Bill Is Not the “Holder Bill.”
Senator .Felder, who led the successful fight in the Georgia senate
against the Iniquitous convict lease system, very graphically described the
'conclusion of that spectacular struggle in these words:
"We have.killed the system, but we haven't burled the corpse."
Senator Felder's words seem to be taken literally In some quarters,
for there Is a very dlatlnct effort on the part of politicians and their news
paper organa to blow a last breath Into the corpse of the convict lease sys
tem, In order. It seems, that they may further their own political ends.
This effort wa» particularly noticeable In one of the Atlonta Sunday pa
pers and Ita Macon echo. The statement was made both editorially
and in Its news columns that the bill passed by the general assembly was
practically the Holder bill, and that tfce same result might have been
achieved at the regular session had the aolons been economically dis
posed.
The absurdity of this statement la at once apparent when It is re
called that the Holder bill bobbed up about four different times during the
consideration of the convict question. It Is well remembered that the orig
inal Holder hill waa nothing more nor less than another five-year lease
proposition, under the exact terms and conditions as those embodied In the
present disgraceful law on the atatute books. The next Holder bill was
tha aame proposition, with the lease clause limited to one-year contracts
with leasees; This proposition waa tinkered with and patched up with
minor details and Issued forth once more In the shape of a conference re
port but It contained the aame old proposition of leasing. Finally It dev
veloped once again In that critical moment when the sub committee of
tbe>penltentlary committee was working on the senate substitute known as
the "27" bill. Tbla time It came In the shape of a substitute offered by
Mr. blackburn, of Fulton, and that It was the same old Holder bill was
clearly evidenced by the fact that It had the lease clause In it. together
with the same old proposition to charge counties,$75 per convict per year
for all they desired above their present quota.
It U well known that two memhejrs of that aub-commfttec, Messrs.
Dean and Fowler, promptly discovered the Holder proposition, altho it waa
cleverly disguised. How these two fought against tbo price on "overs" In
the lub-commlttee. were outvoted by the other three members, but finally
triumphed when the full penitentiary committee turned upon the Holder
leadership and overthrew the whole proposition, la likewise known to all
who followed the convict legislation thru Ita Intricate passages. The
committee knocked the price off of convlcte the counties might desire to
add to their road gangs, and tha house sustained the committee by a vote
of (1 to 68. Thereby perished the Holder bill In every essential point.
The Intent of the Holder bill, at every member of the legislature
knows, was to discourage counties from taking the convicts from the state,
by puttlqg a price on them the county authorities would not pay. C'olnci-,
dent with thle effort the provision waa Inserted that the prison commis
sion might lease convicts If the counties did not take them.
When the price was removed from the convicts, the whole structure of
the Holder proposition fell thru. It was precisely as tho a mercantile
houae, after having tried to dispose of Ita stock at a high price, adver
tised that the stock might go to all who desired, to take It, with a con
tract to pay for It In kind whenever both sides were ready for the pay
ment to be made. If It Is natural to assume that the mercantile house
could get all of Its stock off Ita hands by the latter plan more readily than
It could by the high price, then It Is equally true that the prison commis
sion will dlapoae of all the folony convicts more readily under the new
law than It would under the Holder proposition.
' It would be Just as logical to say, therefore, that the two plans of the
mercantile house were precisely the aame. aa It Is for scheming polUlgftina
and their newspaper organa to say that there Is no difference between the
Holder bill, or bills, and the new law the general assembly bas given the
state of Georgia.
Under the Holder bill, the leasing clause extended over misdemeanor
and felony conriets, thereby legalising the "wild cat" camps now operat
ing In violation of the law. The new act not only expressly prohibits leas
ing misdemeanor convicts undst any circumstances, but also prohibits the
hlring'Pt even any “overe" li^felony convicts to any person or corpora-

One of the remarkable political phenomena of 1808 la the widespread
revolt ngainat Joseph G. Cannon, of the Eighteenth Illinois district, and
■pesker of the national house of representatives.
And the most remarkable feature of this fight against this hard-
headed old obstructionist comes from within bis own party. The more
advanced wing of the Republicans Is making a determined fight against
him. Such papers as The Kansts City Times and The Chicago Record-
Herald are calling for hls defaat. As an Indication of this deep-rooted
antipathy‘to Cannon, some of hla most powerful adherents In congress
have bean defeated.
First on the Hat to go was that atony old chap, General Grosvenor.
of Ohio. That waa two years ago and marked the beginning of a revolt
ggalnst the Cannon regime. Thin year two of hla moat faithful adherents
have gone down and out—John J. Jenkins, of Wisconsin, and J. Adam
Bede, of Mlnneaota. And they came mighty near scalping Jim Tawney
out In Minnesota, too. There can he no question that the defeat of such
men as Jenkins and Bade Ilea wholly at the door of Cannon. Both are
able and brilliant men. but they hare the Cannon taint, and they had
to go.
Juat now there Is a bitter fight In Cannon's own district to dffeat
him. He la being opposed by Henry C. Bell, a Democrat, and an able and
clean man. It la almost too much to hope that Cannon’s hold can be
broken In hla district. Ha Is very rich and he Is moreover one of the
wiliest politicians In this country. But hls day it waning.
There la no place In the tremendous advance of this country for an
obstinate old obstructionist of all advance movements, such as Joseph G.
Cannon, of Illinois. Hla day for blighting good legislation and standing
In the way of real advanctmcnt la passing, and for the good of the country
it can not pass too quickly.
This section has felt the power of the Cannon hand. We saw him
block the Appalachian forest reserve bill, a measure fraught with tremen
dous Importance to the entire eastern seaboard. He belongs to that bull
headed school of politicians that block all Improvement or advance.
The day of Cannon and hls Ilk la passing, and It will be a happy day
when we have the laet of him and tham.

Come, let us consider the bore, who
Is an ever present affliction In our
midst, robbing death of Its victory anil
the grave of Its sting, and reconciling
us to the brevity of life. Why a mer
ciful heaven permits this ecourge of
society to exlet la beyond mortal com
prehension, but doubtless It Is part of
the mysterious dispensation of Provl
dene*. along with snakes, mosquitoes
and gnats, to keep us meek and hum
ble, with our thoughts fixed on that
better land where the human auger
ceases from boring and tha weary are
at rest.
Unfortunately. In our present Impel--
feet state of civilization it Is unlawful
and -full of unpleasant consequences
to shoot a "tore at sight. Many people
long to do this. As they see one bear
ing down upon them, snd realize that
escape la cut off, they with difficulty
restrain themaalves from committing
what should be regarded pa not only,
justifiable homicide, but a meritorious
public service. We have not yet
reached that degree of enlightened al
truism, but the day will come when a
grateful people will arlxe and build
monuments to those who hav# cut
short the devastating careen of the
tedious.
In the meantime bores have all times
and seasons and places for their own.
They are to bo found In all parts of
tha world to which the foot of man
lias penetrated, and tho you should
take the wings of the morning and fly
to the uttermost part of the earth you
would find one waiting for you, ready
to fall on your neck and eat you alive.
Now, there are many kinds of bores,
but perhaps the most virulent known,
variety, and the one that there Is the
least chance of dodging. Is the Adviser.
Some bores only prey on their own
tamllles. Others only devour strangers
and are quite harmless and innocuous
In tltelr own lioniea. Still others are
timid and only attack when they see
a good opening made for them to get In
their deadly work, but the Adviser
goes for every thing In sight. He or
she. for this fearsome creature Is of
both sexes, la the universal buttinski
Nothing is safe, nobody escapes hls
fatal attentions. Friends and foes alike
fall victims before the conscienceless
mania of the Adviser.
It makes no difference that you are
free, white and twenty-one, that you
are ablebodied and capable of taking
care of yourself, and mentally compe
tent to rook after your own affair#, or
that the Adviser Is weakly, sickly and
unsuccessful. The one thing he has
left In life Is a never ending supply of
advice, and the mere fact that you
don't want It and won't take It and that
It Is an Impertinence In him to offer
It to you cuts no Ice with hint. He Is
wlthQUt bowels of compassion and It
matters not to him how you writhe
under the ordeal of being smothered,
and stuffed, and phoked, and gorged on
unsolicited counsel.
The mode of attack of the Adviser Is
as brutal as hls crime. You are en
joying. say, your new automobile, that
you have bought efter spending weeks
of study of various makes and your
pocketbook. You have gotten the one
that seemed the happiest combination
and are satisfied and ralm as a clam
at high tide. Along comes the Adviser.
Say," he says, "what make of ma
chine have you got? A Speeduni? Say,
you are an easy mark. Why, that ma
chine Is the punkleat ever. A regu
lar milk cart. Speed of about six miles
an hour. Say, you'll never get arrest
ed N for breaking the Jersey laws for
NEVER AGAIN! ByT.E. Powers
fast driving. Ha!, Ha! Why, you
should have bought a Fastum, that's
the only auto on the market worth
having. It’s got!'—
And there you hav# to alt and listen
while the Adviser, who never owned
any vehicle but a baby perambulator,
hands out .'«• and tons of advice
about autos, how to buy them and how
to run them, and the law- doesn't per
mit you to run over hint and flatten
him out. Oh., cruel, cruel justice! Well
may men paint you blind, for you nils*
seeing aoine golden opportunities for
getting In good work.
It goes without saying that the Ad
viser knpws your business a million
tlmss better than you do vouraelf. If
you have bought P D Q stock he
urges and entreats you to sell It and
buy X Y D. If you are a law ver he
advises you to quit practicing and go
to farming. If you are a grocer he
tells you what a terrible mistake you
made In not studying for the mlnlstrv.
If you live In town he urges you io
live In the country and give your chil
dren the benefit of fresh air, and If von
are domiciled In the rural district he
counsels you to sell out and go to the
city nnd educate your family.
When you are sick the Adviser is in
hi* element. Tou may hav# six spe
cialists, world-famous for tltelr knowl.
edge of your complaint, and the Ad
viser may not know concussion of the
brain from, housemaids' knee, but that
doesn't hinder him from cheerfully
chipping In and advising you not to di>
what the doctors say. but to follow
some remedy that hls Aunt Susan tried
with good effect on the cow.
The female Adviser Is sven mors pit.
tlless and Inescapable than the male
of the species, and while the male
Adviser Is a pest to society the female
Adviser Is a menace to It. It is site
who drives her husband to drink with
her perpetual. "John. dear, do change
your shoes. You have been on the w et
grass and I am sure your feet must be
damp.” "John, don't eat that meat.
You really should live entirely upon
vegetable diet with a little milk.”
"John, you mustn't smoke, you know
It's so bad for people's hearts, and I
am so afraid you'll get nicotine poi
sons."
It's she who scatters her children to
the four winds of heaven as soon as
they ettn fly, driven away from home
by the inother'a never end Ine stream
of advice about what they should wear,
where they should go, what they should
do and think, and see.
It Is she w ho becomes the first aid to
the divorce court when she becomes a
mother-fn-law. "My dear Mary, take
my advice and don't give In to yonr
husband. Make him toe the mark and
refuse to permit him to have a latch
key. and don't believe him when he
tells you that he was kept at work at
night." Or "My dear John, take your
mother's advice and be firm with Susie.
Don't let your wife boss and henpeck
you as she will If you let her have
that gown she bas set her heart on."
Then follow trouble and alimony,
which la one degree worse than being
bored.
How lo deal with a bore is still a
matter of Individual experiment. Dif
ferent people have worked out various
theories and diagrams of esespa. but
the consensus*of opinion Js that ths
quickest and safest way ,1a to take to
your heels .whenever you see one ap
proaching.
This llna of conduct Is the only
known way of getting abend of the
Adviser, but If must be modified In the
caae of those from whom you have
great expectations. ' Witty a rich old
aunt, for Instance, ltd* wise to even
court danger and request her counsel
on personal matters, such as picking
out a wife, the beat brand of cigars,
etc. Women who have the constitu
tion to stand It will also find that there
Is much profit In asking the advice of
men. It Is considered very becoming
and womanly.
Further Facts.
Statistics show- that ten million peo
ple are annually bored to death In this
country-. Of those so slain 5.*7*,932
are done to death by the Advlssr.
Great la the reward In popularity of
those who cat? enduri boredom.
Th# Meddler Is another type of bore
so closely related to tha Adviser that
nobody has ever yef been able to dif
ferentiate them.
We can forgive everybody but those
who make ua tired.
