The following editorial appeared In The Newark, N. J.. Newt the other day: Governor- Wilson can now feel as- eured that he has acquired the. degree of "Serious Menace to Interests that Want Their Own Way." At the same moment ho can feel that he has achieved national reputation as a sturdy champion of Democracy In effective ac tion. Jtst the Instant any man who has lone good work In the direction of clean politics and real government by tho people, puts la an appearance you can count with absolute surety that cer tain Journal* are, going to go after hie scalp with all the energy at their com mand. Ho Is promptly dubbed a perverter of the constitution, a faker, a demngoguo end In fact anything else unnMsrant that happens to occur to the brilliant min He rf this gifted fraternity. The truth of the matter Is that hi is a nuisance to these gentlemen. He Is ter ribly In the way of the little private schemes that they prefer to wbrk out In darkness. What Is there m> dreadfully Inconsistent with our Institutions In en forceable laws exacting heavy penalties for election frauds. In elsctlon laws honestly designed to have the people choose their own candidates. In laws making arbitral bodies to decide ques tions of fact-in fairness between the people and the utility companies, in laws allowing the cltlssns of any city to choose the simplest, most under standable form of city government Vet known? Or Is It a crime to Insist that a party shall keep faith with a law It has sup ported, If the only way to keep faith makes that party turn down a recog nised machine-interest boss? The truth of the matter is that the Interests to which these gentlemen of the press referred to are bound by ties of sympathy, or something else, have e more holy horror of an understand able "worka-ln-the-dayllght" sort of a (ovemment than anything else. Thru long practice they have coma to regard the government as a sort of an agent that has to pretend to keep In with the people but whose real duty Is to act as a necessary adjunct In furthering their schemes. Naturally, therefore, they dread any thing and any man who attempts to make that government a thing respon sible to the people, fully understand- eble by them, and working so openly and so plainly that any dtlsen can see and appreciate what Is going on, and make his views In the matter known end felt. . Such a government Is fatal to the deals, the nice little qutd-pro-quo ar rangements, those partnerships where a campaign fund or a promise of sup port is b&lancd against a franchise or a tariff schedule. These newspapers—no need to men tion names—are all for righteousness and good, honest government In the ab stract, but hate It In Its practical ap- nllpatlaw - ' Underwood Emphatically De nies He Stood in Way of Tariff Revision. Washington, Aug. 2.—Arising to s question of personal privilege In the house today, Representative Under wood, chairman of the -ways and means committee, denounced as “an absolute falsehood” the statement made by Wll. Ham Jennings Bryan that Underwood had stood In the way of a revision of the Iron and steel schedules. Underwood received one of the great est ovations ever accorded a member of the house, and It was fully two min utes before he Ki* allowed to continue with a denunciation of Bryan. "The statement," declared Under wood. "Is absolutely false. If It re flected upon me alone I would not take time to deny It, But the reflection rests on the entire Democratic,party In the house, and I would be untrue to them If I did not denounce the state ment and prove the statement to be a falsehood." Democrats Applauded. Mr. Underwood, amid cheers from the Democrats, said that he had told tho ways and means committee that he was ready to take up the Iron and steel schedule at the beginning of the ses sion, but that tho committee voted to take up wool and cotton flrat. "In the same Interview," continued Representative Underwood. "William Jonnlngi Bryan charged that there Is a difference between Speaker Clark and myself with reference to legislation. That statement, too. Is absolutely false. Tbs speaker and myself have been In accord sines the beginning, and I pre dict that we will be In accord at tho end. When I brought out the free list bill To transform tha noisy, smoky and unsightly railroad yards owned by the stats of Georgia in the vary heart of Atlanta into this beautiful and Im posing civic denter or plaza is what the business men of Atlanta are asking the legislature to permit them to do. They do not ask one dollar in appropri ations and for tha privilege propose to give to the state of Georgia s handsome twenty-story pstssnger depot and office building. "The Atlanta Spirit* will furnish the money and do the work and tha state will be the beneficiary. Reasons why this permission is sought and should bs granted will bs told to the legislative committees on the Western and Atlsntio railroad in tha hall of representatives Wednesday night at 8 o'clock.

Mr. Underwood then dramatically called upon Representative Kltehln, of North Carolina, to stand up and tell the house whther Kltehln had up braided Underwood In the caucus and aceueed him of protecting the Iron and steel Industries as charged by Bryan. Bryan Badly Informsd. Mr. Kltehln stood up. "Bryan Is a badly misinformed man," declared Kltehln. "I do not know who his In formant Is. but when he is talking pub licly of caucus action he ought to make public the name of his Informant." Representative Kltehln declared that the only thing he had said In caucus was that as Mr. Underwood had frank ly told the house that he was Interest ed In a small way In an Iron plant and that the Democrats In order to prevent the Republicans from making capital of tha fact should revise the Iron sched ules before the end of the cession. "Mr Underwood." continued Kltch- In, “wanted to begin on Iron and ateel, but the ways and means committee de cided on wool first." Kitehin Cheered, Too. Kltehln has always been regarded as a Bryan man and his repudiation of the Nebraskan's charges was greeted with continued applause. Representative Underwood then re sumed his speech. "The steel and Iron schedules will be revised,'’ shouted Underwood, and the cheering broke out again and continued for fully a minute. The majority leader then explained that his holdings In the Iron mill were small, that the plant lo cated In Birmingham, Ala., manufac tured only pig Iron and that he In tended to revise this schedule along with every other one on the tariff. When Mr Underwood had concluded, the business ot the house was stopped while Democrats and Republlpans ap plauded and marched up to take Un derwood's hands.

INNOCENT ONES IN TRAP Bill Set For Friday, and Battle Is Expected to Start Then. Because a certain element In tho house le opposed to tho Tlpplns bill, providing for the prohibition of tho enlo of near-beer In Georgia, a filibuster has already started and bids fair to stlffle all general legislation for tha rest of the union. Many members who have helped to kill time on various bills have dona It unknowingly. It Is sold, having walked Into the trap set by the filibuster lead ers. The plan Is to delay legislation which shall come before the house before tho Tlpplns bill comes up, so as to hold tho near-beer bill off until the general appropriation bill reaches the house. That, of course, takes precedence over all other matters and will be debated until the closing of the session. This filibuster became evident Wed nesday morning when the reconsidera tion of the woman lawyer bill was be fore the house. Representative R. N. Hardeman, of Jefferson, spoke against reconsideration and made remarks In his speech which led members to be lieve that he was speaking only to kill time. This wns verified by another member later, who stated to the repre- untatlves at the press tabls that tho filibuster against the Tlpplns bill hail bun launched and that Hardeman's speech woe ths flrat gun. Fight Due on Friday, privileged resolution was Intro duced and referred to the rules com mittee setting the Tlpplns bill for 10 o'clock Friday morning as a special or der on second reading. Of course If the rules committee allows the bill to come up at that time a general fight will follow and the people Interested in legislation which has not already passed might os well forget It, os the Tlpplns bill will be debated as long as Is pos sible, at least until the general appro- brlatlnn bill is reached. Among Important general legislation which will likely be checked out on ac count of the Tlpplns hill are tlie general revision of the game and fish laws: the conurvntlon bill; the anti-lobby bill; compulsory education; redtstrlctlng and FIRST-HAND NEWS OF THE CANDIDATES AND NEAR-CANDIDATES FOR GOVERNOR Undsr this heading Ths Georgian will publish from day to day non-perilssn Information concerning the Im pending gubernatorial racs.

The conferences related to dally newspapers, advertising, managers, agents, agricultural papers, printing and engraving, technical trade ami claae publications, municipal and state publicity, detail advertising and special ly advertising. Later In the day many of the dele gates prepared to go on the auto trip along the North Shore and others took In Concord and Lexington. The big features come tonight, when the Geor gia delegation cuts up several thouMnd fine, big. Juicy watermelons, sent on specially from Georgia. The Atlanta ad men and their ladles found further popularity lost evening and today. Their plctureeque uniforms are rivalled only by the Highland cos tumes of the Canadians Georgians Will Show ’Em. The big watermelon cutting which takes place tonight at the Atlanta headquarters at trie Victoria will be at tended by the 1,000 delegates Ths boost for Atlanta as the convention city for 131$ Is gaining Impetus and the Georgians will tonight show the con vention Just what kind of hospitality they will get In Atlanta. Yesterday's march of the Atlantans up Beacon Hill, preceded by a fife and drum corps playing "Dixie," was cheered all the way. This afternoon an auto tour along the North Shore to Beverly Is planned and ths Atlantans will go in full fores. bills advocated by representatives of their respective counties will, of course, receive consideration. The house seems strongly In favor ot prohibiting ths Mle of near-beer. In fact. It has been polled by certain Indi viduals and shows a good majority against the sale of the near-beverage and that Is why the opposition does not want a vote on the Tlpplns bill. If they had a safe majority, the matter would be aUarwed to come up In Its turn and be killed outright, but the ma jority of the house Is In favor of the bill nnd only steam-roller tactics can put It thru at this session. Fse Bill Postponed. Another move on the part of those opposing the Tlpplns Mil was made when the senate bill reducing the fees of county treasurers was reached on the calendar and postpone.! until Tues day. This measure could have been acted upon by the house Wednesday, but many of the members wore not aware that a filibuster had been launch ed and voted to postpone It, thus clog ging up the calendar more Instead of clearing It. The Mil was Inlr.i,lured In the senate by Senator Harris and has piiese.i that body, but unltM th« fili buster la broken soon It, with many other g.-nenil bills, will remain on the calendar until next session. Immediately after the Harris bill had been postponed the next bill on the cal endar. the anti-lobby bill, come before the bouse automatically, but tbe me*/ tlon to adjourn was made nnd carried, so this bill can not coma up under the head of unfinished business Thursday, Many were anxious to have the anti- lobby bill read so that It would he ready for the house to take up Thurs day, but the motion to adjourn carried.
