THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS.FRIDA Y, NOVEMBER 22. 1912.
SIDELIGHTS ON
STATE POLITICS
Comment on Men and Meas
ures of Interest to the
Public Eye.
By JAMES B. NEVIN.
The governor of Georgia gets *a sal
ary of approximately sl4 per day.
Every day. averaging the year round,
he is asked to give
;i*ai, for one pur
pose and anothei g|W' ,r jmi'tw ffn
frequently •
very worthy pu -
pose, so far
that goes that Ur '
much, and more. B > '
There eome to |
the exeeutive of
flee daily about 5u z
letters. Easily b n IK'
per cent of them Mt Sv JMM|
are requests for Ba
money.
nesday's mail, for HU
were five suel
letters--one ask
ing help for a jxkm e> xeattm
church, one for a
library, one sor 1 a school house and two
for the distressed families of prisoners
in the state penitentiary.
in many letters, the specific amount
of help desired is set forth—two of the
letters that came In Wednesday re
quested an even $5 each. That was
rtiore than two-thirds of the governors
salary for the day. and it involved only
two-fifths of the requests received.
If tire governor responded to everj
petition for financial aid he receives he
would never break even on his jalary.
The present governor—as no doubt
have all the governors before him—
does respond to a good many of the re
quests he gets. Sometimes the appeals
are very touching; sometimes they
I eome from people who unselfishly hate
been friendly in acute .rises; some-
I times the appeal is for a cause so
worthy that failure to respond is all
but unthinkable.
And yet. even as the matter stand..,
the drain on the purse of the governor
is terrific.
Unquestionably a great many people
seek to take advantage of the execu
tive. He Is asked, time and again, to
help out financially on projects entirely
impersonal to him, and of doubtful
character.
The m >tte of sifting the true from
tlie false, t.ie . from tile make-be
lieve, the honest fiom the fraudulent, is
a task that falls largely to the govern
or's private secretary in the present
ease, to Jesse Perry and it Is not an
easy task, either. Perry, however,
manages to get away with it most sat
isfactorily.
Campbell Wallace, of the Georgia
railroad commission, employs in his
daily labors an Interesting relic of the
long ago—a papierweight of burned
clay, upon which Is modeled an excel
lent likeness of Grover Cleveland.
Tills paperweight was made when
Cleveland was a candidate for presi
dent the first time —in 1884. to be exact.
That makes the thing 28 years old,
which is quite a respectable age for a
paperweight. It shows Cleveland as a
relatively young man, in the very flow
er of vigorous vitality .
This veteran among clerical equip
ments probably was brought into the
office by one of the members of the
earlier commissions, and it has been
there, in constant use, ever since. And
it looks very little the worse for wear,
too.
Wallace is thinking now of getting it
a Woodrow Wilson companion, in order
that it may be retired eventually to
honorable inactivity, and preserved as
a glorious souvenir of the Democratic
past in this land of the free and home
of the brave.
Governor grown says lie w ishes it
made plain that the boys corn club
prizes won in Cherokee by Thomas
Payne, Homer Atkins, and John San
dow—the first named being the winner
of the first prize throughout the Sev
enth district—were won entirely by file
boys' own efforts, and that they Indi
vidually and severally deserve all the
glory attaching to their performances.
The story has been published that
this winning yield - 157 2-:l bushels to
the acre—was made on the governor's
' Cherokee county farm —which is true.
Hut the governor insists that ft be re
corded carefully that he did not do the
raising He thinks it glut v'enough to
have furnished the land upon which
such . editable work was done by these
sturdy yollflg Georgians.
Already th. complaint has been reg
i-to-cd that north Georgia is under
taking to "hog" tile forthcoming Fed
eral pie distribution in Georgia, and a
squeal lias come up fiom south Georgia
accordingly I
Discussing the matter of Federal
patronage recently. The Jackson Her
ald said:
The woods ate full of candidates,
and quasi candidates, near-candi
dates and prospective candidates,
for the various dtlices in Georgia
at the disposal of the next admin
istration. One paper stated that
S.-nator Smith intended to see that
Hooper Alexander would be the
next district attorney for the
Northern district of Georgia. Tom
Shackelford would also like to have
that Job. Ma.' Johnson, of Bar
tow, wants to collect the internal
revenue, while a dSzen would like
to be United States marshal for
this district. The e ate many who
want something from the next ad
ministration. but have not decided
just what it is
“ Tie- Sa\ intuih P e-s < ipied this pit
agrnpli, .nd ’o < omm-ti’ ing upon it
ii’ted that while u did not mention
I many people, all it did mention were
Inorth Georgia .gentlemen.
The Press referred to the matter
i more in sorrow than in anger, of course,
I but it let it be known that the north
Georgia preponderance of pie avail
ability had been taken into considera
tion, anyway!
I "It must not be supposed that south
i Georgia will be found lagging far in the
| rear when the returns are ali in," said
The Press.
One would think not —surely!
Honorable Seaborn Wright, of Floyd,
reports to The Rome Tribune-Herald
that he has made fine crops on his
Armuchee creek farm this year, and
particularly brags on his oat crop.
What the former representative's
many friends throughout Georgia
would like to know, however, is what
grew on the lawn he sowed with flax-

“Go and Do Thou Likewise”
Bare concrete floors and walls
with steel barred windows.
A drab and dreary row of cots.
On one of these a feverish
woman turns and tosses.
Poverty and ignorance have
brought her here.
In prison, because there is no
other place for one like her.
Unrestrained and untaught, she <
would only sink lower, degrading >
others in her fall.
One who has traveled the same
sad road and knows its pitfalls and
miseries, gives $2,500 to found
Martha’s home, where, with kindly
firmness, good women may keep
and teach such to live.
Sympathy, which sighs, but
does not act, is sin.
