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.
