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! — 1T . • at a. « t.i ...... .

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. ! GOSSIP I Nooks and Comers of American History JACOB LEJSLER By REV. THOMAS B.
