Winston Churchill’s Campaign.
if a
Winston Chnrehlll, the novelist, I* showing some of
the elements of the reformer In a more Impressive and
unselfish manner than any of the good people In other
states who are out hunting for gratters and oppressors
of the people.
Just at New York has Its Hearat and Jerome, Maa-
aachuaetti Its Moran, Missouri Ha Folk, and so on, ao
New Hampehlre has its Churchill, and he has been cre
ating more of ( a sensation than any of them, perhaps.
One cannot avoid the sneaking Idea when he dis
cusses some of the other reformer* that they have their
left eye on the loaves and flehee. Not but what they
would really eitabtlsh reforms and things would be a
great deal better than before, but then they teem to
think that In order to bring about these reforms they
themselves must be placed In office. They have no con
fidence In the ability of any one else to do It quit* so
effectively. •
But such Is not the case with young Churchill. He
comes out with the announcement that If the other can
didates will accopt his platform—or rather that of the
Lincoln Republicans—he will retire from the race for the
governorship. He evidently means It, and this Is a spe
cies of unselfishness which the world at large has not
yet become accustomed to.
It was only a short time ago, comparatively speak
ing, that a little group of thirteen young men met In Con
cord, N. H-, and organised what they called the Lincoln
Republican Club. They met but little encouragement.
The newspapers even refused at first to publish the pro
ceedings of their meetings. But this did not fease them
for a moment. They went right ahead. The agitation
was against the domination of the state by tbo Boston
and Maine railroad, and that corporation waa unmerci
fully lambasted. It was Lot long before the people be
gan to sit up and take notice. They came to the conclu
sion that there must be something In that young fel
low Churchill besides tbe ability to write a "one of, the
best six sellers," and gradually he drew around him a
strong support, which la making the old Republican ma
chine quake In Its sockets.
The platform has already been drafted. It Is n
strong and able document and one which la well cal
culated to appoal to the people. The old guard are about
getting ready to capitulate.
Bo now comes Churohtll with hit unaelflsh
nouncement that he will renounce his candidacy for the
governorship If one of the other aspirants within the
party will accept the platform adopted by the Lincoln-
ites.
They are considering the matter and considering it
very deeply, too.
But the point Is that there are very few reformers
who are willing to take this lofty position on any ques
tion. Churchill has been making a remarkable campaign.
He hae even had the assistance of Richard Harding Da
vis—whatever that may have been worth—and there
was certainly a fair chance of hie election., But he feels
that there would be even a bettor chance of victory
hereafter If the Republicans, placed In power under
existing ctrcumatance*. failed or refused to carry out
their pledge* and give the people the relief they need.
The election up In Maine, where the Republican
majority was smaller than It hae been since 1882, hot
attracted considerable attention, but that In New Hamp
shire will be watched with even greater Interest.
At any rate they are not laughing at Winston
Churchill and the Lincoln Republicans any mors.

and Instead of trying to equivocate as usual the party,
through Its campaign textbook, boldly puts In a plea of
confession and avoidance.
We are at least grateful to the compilers of the
book for having taken the country so far Into Its confi
dence as to let It be known what will be the leading Is
sues In the coming campaign. If they make any more

The Republican Campaign Book.
The Republican campaign textbook has at last been
Issued and li ready for circulation among tbe unen
lightened who have a sincere desire to know what
the Republican administration haa done and what It
hopes to accomplish In the future.
Whether Mr. Taft or Mr. Bonaparte expressed the
Mnttmcuti of the administration—whether It favors
"stand pat” policy or tariff revision—there can be no
uncertainty In the terms expressed In ‘.he campaign text
book. It clearly declares that Mr. Roosevelt and a pro
tective tariff are the Issues on which tho party I* willing
to go before the people. Tariff revisionists. It declares,
are practically free traders, and hence should be cast
Intq outer darkness.
The legislation adopted under the Roosevelt adminis
tration I* alluded to a number of times In terms of cor
dial congratulation, and deserves an Indorsement, It
■ays, at the hands of the people.
Tbe brazenness with which It defends the protection
ists Is sometnlng almost amusing. It acknowledges that
manufactured products In many Instances are sent
abroad and sold In the open market over there more
cheaply than they can be bought in this country, but In
effect it ask* whose business Is It If these manufactur
ing concerns wish to sell their goods at cost or very
near It in order to secure a foothold In the markets
across the seas.
How many people are in any degree prepared to be
lieve that American manufacturers sre selling their com
modities in the European market! at coat or anything
Ilk* cost? They are not actuated by any such charita
ble Impulses. They are out for tbe money and It may
be depended upon that when they sell goods In England
at less than the American purchaser would have to pay
for them they are nevertheless realising a snug profit
on the transaction.
The facts.are ao well known that we wonder how
the geniuses who devised this campaign book could
A Great Organization and Its Georgia
President.
The National Farmers’ Union of America, 750,-
000 strong, has paid a distinct compliment to Geor
gia, and at the mjic time given a well merited
recognition to one of the ablest and most effec
tive members of that great organization, in the
election of Mr. Charles 8. Barrett to be president
and executive head of the National Union for the
ensuing year.
Mr. Barrett iH a citizen of Upson county and
haa been for the past two years president of the
Georgia state organization of the Farmers’ Union
It is only the recording of a fact to aay that
Mr. Barrett’s administration of the affairs of the
state association has been so effective, so strong,
an productive of fine results, and withal so genial
and so agreeable to the great interests which he
represent*, that his elevation at Texarkana by an
absolutely unanimous vote of one of the greatest
organizations ever assembled in the interest of hr
riculture, is a joint tribute both to his genial and
charming personality and to hia tireless and effec
tive services in the real and practical interests of
the organization.
The people of Georgia are not aware of the
extent and magnitude of this great organization
known as the Farmers’ Union. They are a quiet
people and an unostentatious people who composn
it. They do not seek notoriety. They do not as
pire to live in the white light of publicity, and
they are far removed from politics and vainglo
rious boasting.
But it is by all odds and far and away tho
greatest farmers’ organization in this country. It
numbers 750,000 farmers in the South and in the
middle and further west. It took into its ranks
20.000 farmers in Illinois in a single day. In the
state of Georgia, thanks to the brilliant and effi
cient executive work of President Barrett, the as
sociation numbers 54,000 Georgia farmers. There
are 225,000 members in the state of Texas, and
109.000 members in the state of Arkansas. There
are 92,000 members in the new state of Oklahoma
just Admitted to the union. There are 69,000 in
our sister state of .Alabama.
And so, with these splendid figures the people
of Georgia can realize thnt it is an organization
of magnificent proportions and of equally magnifi
cent possibilities over which this young and able
citizen of our own state has been called to pre
side. The magnitude of the honor, will be felt
equally by the state and by the multitude of
friends who realize the noble and effective work
and the splendid qualities of the new president of
the National Farmers’ Union. In all Georgia
there is no man who joins to his business capacity,
to his sectional loyalty, and to hia devotion to the
great organization which he represents, a more
genial and tireless devotion to hia friends and to
the public good than Charles Barrett, of Upson,
who has just been elevated to one of the highest
and moat responsible positions in tho republic.
Now we come down to a practical question. It
ia within the power of the president and the board
of director* of the National Farmers’ Union to
choose the city which shall be the headquarters of
this association. President Barrett and tho board
of directors are absolutely unselfish about this
matter and arc anxious to locate the head of tho
Union in that place which will be the most central
and from which its interests cAn be most fully ad
vocated and maintained. The Georgian itself sim
ply calls attention to the fact that different sec
tions and different cities of this country arc com
peting eagerly for the honor and advantages of
being thd head of this association. Texarkana hns
offered to the union all its tloor space that it cares
to occupy with light Bnd hosting for all the of
fices which they may require. Dallas, Texas, ia
now cRgerly making a bid along these lines. Both
of these states are in the further west, and The
Georgian suggests that the city of Atlanta be not
lacking in the same enterprise and public spirit
nor permit these generous cities in our sister states
to carry off the honor and the advantage of being
the capital of an organization over which one of
our distinguished citizens is the executive head.
We are fully confident that when the magni
tude of this great body and its importance to our
industrial and our social development is thor
oughly understood, that Atlanta will not fail to
meet in full any offer which is made by other
cities for the privilege and the profit of being the
headquarters of the National Farmers’ Union with
750.000 Southern agriculturists behind it. We sug
gest that the Chamber of Commerce and the City
Council take this matter under consideration, and
we confidently believe that when the magnitude
and the importance of this great interest is un
derstood. that these bodies with the full Rnd en
thusiastic co-operation of the citizens of Atlanta,
will be able within a short time to say to Presi
dent Barrett and to the executive committee, “we
are here and ase more than willing to meet here
the offer of any other city iu the South for the
honor and privilege of being the headquarters of
this great organization.
The Georgian mny be used to an unlimited ex
tent to bring about this greatly to be desired re
sult both in our columns and in the services of our
staflf which may be enlisted in the effort that
looks toward the planting of the central office of
this great organization in the metropolis of Georgia
and the real capital of Dixie.
The Cuban Revolution.
• The situation In Cuba appears to be growing more
and more acute every day and there If no one who can
predict what tbe end will be.
Marines have been landed from the Denver and the
Marietta, and If necessary the entire Island will be sur
rounded by a cordon of American war vessels. Those
who claim to be on tbe Inside and to have special Infor
mation tell us that the outside world does not fully ap
preciate the gravity of the situation. This, it Is said. Is
not merely the uprising of a few political discontents,
but has Its roots deep down In the heart* of the people,
who feel that they have Just grievances which have been
Ignored by the government. „
No relief Is expected by those who are most familiar
with the situation until the United States takes a firm
hand in the matter. The large sugar planters and
Americana having other Interests on the Island have
long since adopted a policy of arming their retainers
and keeping them on guard around their plantations
for protection against both revolutionists and govern
ment troops.
The end of It all. It seems, will be the establishment
of at least a protectorate over the Island by the Untied
State*. *
It cannot b* (aid that this country has not kept ab
solute faith with the Cuban people as a whole. We re
deemed our promise to turn the Island over to them for
self-government as soon a* they were even apparently
capable of self-government. They have had every
chance to conduct their own affairs without Interfer
ence of any kind from this country.
But the Indications are that the time la rapidly ap
proaching when we must take a hand, and the' few
marines which have been landed on the Island may be
Increased at ahy time to an army of occupation.
The moral effect on the world. If the Cuban republic
shorfld fall, would be very disastrous. It would give
color to the contention of many of the older governments
that the Latin rices of the new world are constitution
ally Incapable of self-government, and that Cuba Is
■Imply In the same category with the states of South
America, where revolution is the normal condition.
The development* of the Immediate future will be
watched with something more than passing Interest
grapher on his newspaper to Mr. James B. Nevln,
of Tho Rome Tribune. This Is a worthy and timely
compliment to one of the boat and most brilliant
writers of the Georgia press. There are few men In
Georgia Journalism who have more Individuality of
thought Joined to more vivid and picturesque ex
pression than James B. Nevln. Time nnd again Ills
pungent paragraphs have shot to the core of public
questions in Georgia, and his wit Is as keen as bis
satire and as bright as his own.genial and generous
spirit.
It Is understood that Mr. Nevtn. on account or
his other bu-.fness Interests In Rome, will not be
able to accept the offer of The Washington Herald:
but The Georgian, which knows him and heartily ad
mires him, Is quit*/confident that other and even
broader opportunities will yet knock at tbe door of
this gallant and gifted young Journalist of Geor
gia.
JAME8 B. NEVIN OF ROME—Mr. Scott C.
Bone, late of Tbe Washington Post, Is just about to
launch a new dally paper In Washington to be
called The Herald, and the fact that Mr. Bono Is at
the head of It guarantees that The Herald will be
a paper worth reading. One of the best evidences of
the good judgment which Mr. Bone has always dis
played In hia newspaper ventures Is In the fact that
he ha* offered the position of editorial para-
The Death of Henry M. Nelli.
The death of Henry M. Neill, of New Orleans, re
moves one of the most striking figures from the world
of cotton.
He was In his 78th year, and white the accident he
sustained in being struck by a street car was not for a
time regarded as particularly serious, the shock to his
aged frame was such/tbat It was Impossible for him to
recover.
Mr. Neill was an Englishman, and came to this
country Immediately after the civil war. He establish
ed the firm of Henry M. Neill & Co., In New Orleans,
with a branch house In London In charge of his elder
brother.
During the latter sixties be was one of the largest
cotton buyers In the South, and In 1871 he was one of
the founders of the New Orleans cotton exchange.
Early In his business career he conceived the Idea
of gathering data oo which to estimate the growing cot
ton crop and for a long time he enjoyed a prestige
which no individual in the South has ever approximated.
It was no uncommof thing for the market to fluctuate
60 points one way or the other on the announcement of
hia estimates.
There came a time when he waa the storm center
of a rather bitter controversy. Unfortunately his lean
ings always seemed ts be on .the bull' side of the market,
and It was but natural that this should awaken the re
sentment and criticism of a very considerable element
In tho 8outh. It was even whispered at times that be
was retained In the Interests of the EngHsb spinners.
He lived to overcome all theie sinister suggestions,
but In more recent years he seemed not to have tbe
clear prevision or the accuracy of forecast which had
once made his name something to conjure with. That
he waa honest In his convictions Is freely conceded to
day and It ts recalled that on more than one occasion
he sent out estimates of a bullish character which took
the world by surprise and yet were subsequently ful
filled. But something of tbe old charm and prestige had
passed away, and added to his declining years, he haa
not been so conspicuous a figure as he once was.
When the record Is written no man will be mpre
Intimately associated with the post-bellum development
of tbe cotton trade of the South than Henry M. Neill,
and the tragedy of which he was the victim lends ad--
ditlonal pathos to bis death.

The statement Is mad# that the bn,
Daniel O'Day, Standard Oil inasnaie
and friend of John D. Rockefeller who
died In France yesterday, was a victim
of overwork. It menu Inconceivable
to we poor people who figure in nickel*,
thnt a man who can draw his check
Ifi seven figures before the decimal
point, should work himself to death
It's -another illustration of the adage'
"One-half the world does not know
how the other half Uvea.”

The celebrated race horse Hohank
II, belonging to John Sanford, of Am-
sterdatn, believed by hts owner to have
been the beat two-year-old of 1905. hut
who haa failed to return to his form
thla year, jumped into the East river
from 'a pier at Long Island City while
on nls way bnck to the Hurricane farm
at Amsterdam.
The horse swam out to midstream
nnd the tug C. C. Clark put out after
the valuable animal. For full half an
hour the tug chaked him about in cir
cles In the river In a vain attempt to
lasso him. Finally the tug drove him
bnck to the pier, where a noose waa
dropped over hia head and a notched
plank lowered by which he was able to
walk up to the pier. Hundreds wit
nessed the curious race between the
blooded animal and the tug, but none
guessed what a blow It would have
been to Millionaire John Banford It
hia pet had been lost.
