The trusts are enabled to aetl these goods abroad
simply because a high protective tariff makes It poaalble,
and Instead of trying to equivocate aa usual the party,
through Ita campaign textbook, boldly puta In a plea of
confeaalon and aroldanca.
We are at least grateful to the compilers of the
book for having taken the country so far Into Its eonlb
dence as to let It be known what will be the leading Is
sues In the coming campaign. If they make any more
such confessions as the one'to which we refer—boldly
acknowledging inequalities and seeking to defend them—
the Democrats will know how to act In the premises.
The tariff issue would be hailed with delight
Winston Churchill’s Campaign.
Winston Churchill, the novelist, Is showing some of
the elements of the reformer In a more Impressive and
unselflsh manner than any of the good people In other
states who are out hunting for grafters and oppressors
of the people.
Just as New York has Ita Hearst and Jerome, Mas
sachusetts Its Moran, Missouri Its Folk, and so on, so
New Hampshire has Ita Churchill, and be baa been ere*
atlng more of a sensation than any of them, perhaps.
One cannot avoid the sneaking Idea when he dis
cusses some of the other reformers that they have their
left eye on the loaves and fishes. Not but what they
would really establish reforms and things would be a
great deal better than before, but then they seem to
think that In order to bring abont these reforms they
themselves must be placed In office. They have no con
fidence In the ability of any one else to do It quite so
effectively.
But such Is not the case with young Churchill. He
comes out with the announcement that It the other can
didates will accept his platform—or rather that of the
; Lincoln Republicans—he will reUre from the race for the
governorship. He evidently means It, and this Is a ape-
clna 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 feaze them
for a moment. They went right ahead. The agitation
wai against tbe domination of the state by the Boston
and Maine railroad, and that corporation was unmerci
fully lambasted. It was not long before the people be
gan to alt up and take notice. They came to the conclu
sion that there must be something In that young fel
low Churchill besides the ability to write a "one of the
best six tellers,” and gradually he drew around him a
strong support, which la making the old Republican ma
chine quake In Its sockets.
Tbe platform has already been drafted. It la a
strong and able document and one which la well cal
culated to appeal to the people. The old guard are about
getting ready to capitulate.
So now cornea Churchill with his unselflsh
nouncement thst he will renounce his candidacy for the
governorship If one of the other aspirants within the
party will accept tbe platform adopted by the Lincoln-
Item.
They are considering tbe matter and considering It
very deeply, too.
* But tbe point la that thero are very few reformer*
who are willing to take this lofty position on any ques
tion. Churchill his been making a remarkable campaign.
He baa even bad the assistance of Richard Harding Da
vis—whatever that may hare been worth—and thero
was certainly a fair chance of hi* election. But he feels
that there would be -even a better chance of victory
hereafter If the Republicans, placed In power under
existing circumstance!, failed or refused to carry out
their pledgee and give the people the relief they need.
The election up In Maine, where the Republican
majority was smaller than It has been since 1582, has
attracted considerable attention, but that In New Hamp
shire will be watched with even greater Interest.
At any rat* they are not laughing at Winston
Churchill and the Lincoln Republicans any more.
honor find privilege of being the headquarters of
this great organization.
The Georgian may 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
staff 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 zjtuatlon In Cuba appears to' be growing more
and more acute every day and there - !* no one who can
predict what the end will be.
Marines have been landed from tbe Denver and the
Marietta, and if necessary the entire Island will be aur-
rounded by a cordon of American war vessels. Those
who claim to be on tbe Inalde 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 Us roots deep down In the hearts of the people,
who feel that they hare Just grievances which have been
ignored by the government.
No relief Is expected by those who are most familiar
with tbe situation until the United States takes a Arm
hand in the matter. The large sugar planters and
Americans haying 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 United
States.
It cannot be said that this country has not kept ab
solute faith with tbe Cuban people as a whole. We re
deemed our promise to turn the Island over to them for
self-government as soon as 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 Is rapidly ap
proaching when we must take a hand, and the** few
marines which have been landed on the island may be
Increased at any time to an army of occupation.
Tbe moral effect on tbe world, If the Cuban republic
should fall, would be very disastrous. It would give
color to the contention of many of the older governments
that tbe Latin races of the new world are constitution
ally Incapable of self-government, and that Cuba la
simply In the same category with the states of South
America, where revolution Is the normal condition.
The developments of the Immediate future will bo
watched with something more than passing Interest
JAME8 B. NEVIN OF ROME—Mr. Scott C.
Bone, late of The Washington Post, is Just about to
launch a new dally paper In Washington to bo
called The Herald, and the fact that Mr. Bone Is at
the head of It guarantee* that The Herald will be
a paper worth reading. One of the beat evidences of
the good Judgment which Mr. Bone has always dis
played In his newspaper ventures Is In the fact that
he haa offered the position of editorial para-
The Republican Campaign Booh.
The Republican campaign textbook baa at last been
issued and Is ready for circulation among the unen
lightened who have a sincere deal re to know what
the Republican administration has done and what It
hopes to accomplish In the future.
Whether Mr. Taft or Mr. Bonaparte expressed the
sentiment* of the administration—whether It favors a
"stand pat” policy or tnrlff 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 Ittuei on which the party Is witling
to go before the people. Tariff revisionist*. It declares,
are practically free traders, and hence should be cast
Into outer darkness.
The legislation adopted under the Roosevelt adminis
tration Is alluded to a number of times In terms of cor
dial congratulation, and deserves an Indorsement, It
aays. at the hands of the people.
The brazenness with which it defends the protection
ists Is something 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 asks whose business is It If those manufactur
ing concerns wish to sell their goods at coat 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 are selling their com
modities in the European markets at cost or anything
like cost? They are not actuated by any such chstfta
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 realizing a snug profit
on the transaction.
The facts are so 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 same 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 S. Barrett to be president
and executive head of the National Union for the
ensuing year.
Mr. Barrett is a citizen of Upson county and
has 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 say that
Mr. Barrett’s administration of the affairs of the
atate association has been so effective, so strong,
so productive of line results, and withal so genial
and so agreeable to the great interests which he
represents, that his elevation at Texarkana by an
absolutely unanimous vote of one of the greatest
organizations ever assembled in the interest of ag
riculture, is a joint tribute both to his genial and
charming personality and to his 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 ns the Farmers’ Union. They are a quiet
people and an unostentatious people who compose
it. They do not seek notoriety. They do not as
pire to live in tho wltite light of publicity, and
they arc 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 tho
middle and further west. It took into ita ranks
20.000 farmers in Illinois in a single day. In tho
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
108.000 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 that 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. Tho magnitude of the honor will bo 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 hia sectional loyalty, and to hia devotion to the
great organization which he represents, a more
genial and tireless devotion to his friends and to
the public goed than Charles Barrett, of Upson,
who has just boon elevated to one of the highest
and most responsible positions in the republic.
Now we come down to a practical question. It
is within the power of the president anil the board
of directors of the National Farmers’ Union to
choose the city which shall be the headquarters of
this association. President Barrett and the board
of directors arc absolutely unselfish about this
matter and are anxious to locate the head of the! —

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 tho head of this association. Texarkana has
offered to the union all ita floor space that it cares
to occupy with light and heating for all the of
fices which thev may require. Dallas, Texas, is
now eagerly making u bid along these lines. Both
of these states are in the further west, aud The
Georgian suggests that.the city of Atlanta be not
lacking in the same enterprise and publio 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 heatl.
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 thst the Chamber of Commerce and the City
Council take this matter tinder 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 and en-.
thusiastie 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
Hre here anti are more than willing to meet here
the offer of any other city in the South for the
grapher on his newspaper to Mr. Janies B. Nevln,
of The Romo Tribune. This Is n worthy and timely
compliment to one of the best 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 and again his
pungent paragraphs have shot to the core of public
questions In Georgia, and his wit is as keen as his
saUre and as bright aa hts own genial and generous
spirit
It Is understood that Mr. Nevln. on account of
his other business Interest! In Rome, will not bo
able to accept the offer of The Washington Herald,
but The Georgian, which knows him and heartily ad
mires him, la quite confident that other and even
broader opportunities will yet knock at the door of
this gallant and gifted young Journalist of Geor
gia.
The Death of Henry M. Neiil.
The death of Henry M. Nelli, of New Orleans, re
moves one of the most striking figures from the world
of cotton. ' -
He was In nls 78th year, and while 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 that 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 hls elder
brother. .
During the latter sixties he was ono*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 hls business career he conceived the Idea
of gathering data on 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 uncommon thing for the market to fluctuate
60 points one wsy or the other on tho announcement of
hls estimates. * 1
There came a time when he was tho storm center
of a rather bitter controversy. Unfortunately hls lean
ings always seemed to he on the bull side of the market,
and It was but natural that this should awaken the re
sentment and criticism of n very considerable element
In the South. It was even whispered at times that he
was retained In the Interests of the English spinners.
He lived to overcome all these sinister suggestions,
but In more recent years he seemed not to have the
clear prevision or the accuracy of forecast which had
once made bis name something to conjure with. That
he was honest In hls convictions is freely ponceded to
day. and It Is 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 the old charm and prestige had
passed away, and added to hls declining years, he has
not been so conspicuous a figure aa he onco was.
When the record Is written no man will be more
intimately associated with the post-bellum development
of the cotton trade of the South than Henry M. Nelli,
and the tragedy of which he was the victim lends ad
ditional pathos to hls death.

New York. Sept. 14.—While It |,
claimed by the friends of Miss Bland,*
Leroy Shoemaker, daugther of t h*
rich New York banket; that ahe would
refuse to marry a man simply becau*.
he had a title, it has been demonstrated
that a great title cuts very little flg ur .
In her life by the fact that she reins.!
to have anything to do with Due iu
Cholseul-Praalln. who has Just followed
her to the United States, determined
to marry her. lnea
Those who know Miss Shoemaker ar.
sure she will not marry the duke. Th!

JetUousy. He disappeared soon after
the trial began and It was said hi
committed suicide In preference to the
guillotine. ln *
The Due De Cholseul-Praslln first
became attentive to Miss Shoemaker In
Paris last year. He Invited her and
her family to attend tbe grand opera
and on their refusal began to follow
her wherever she went, going to Lon-
don and finally coming to this country
on th* same steamer with the Shoe-
makers.
Although she cut him at every 0 o.
portqnlty he somehow managed to J!>
a photograph of her standing on ft,,
head of a sphynx and did not return It
until her brother, Henry Brock shoe,
maker, who married Miss Ella De p ev . I
ster last year, wrote him a letter that
left nothing to the Imagination.
The statement Is made that the lats I
Daniel O'Day, Standard Oil mngnate
and friend of John D. Rockefeller, who

of overwork. It seems Inconceivable
to we poor people who figure In nickels
that a man who can draw hls check
In seven figures before the decimal
point, should work himself to death
It’s another Illustration of the adage!
