Winston Churchill’s Campaign.
Winston Churchill, the novelist, la showing some of
the elements of the reformer in a more Impressive and
uneelflah manner than any of the good people In other
states who are out hunting for grafters and oppressors
of the people. 1
Just as New York has Its Hearat and Jerome, Mas
sachusetts Its Moran, Missouri Its Polk, and so on, so
New Hampshire has Its Churchill*und 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 reformers that they hsve their
left eye on the loaves and Ashes. Not but what they
would really establish reforms and things would be
great deal better than before, but then they seem 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 quite so
effectively. ,
But such Is not the case with young Churchill. He
comes out with the announcement that If the other can
didates will accept 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.
tt was only a short Ume 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
waa against the domination of the state by the Boston
and Maine railroad, and that corporation was unmerci
fully lambasted. It waa tot long before the people be-
gnn to alt up and take notice. They came to the conclu.
slon that there must be something In that young tel
low Churchill betides the ability to write a "one of the
beat six sellers," and gradually he drew around him a
strong support, which I* making the old Republican ma
chine quake In Ita sockota.
The platform has already been drafted. It Is
strong and ablfe document and one which Is well cal
culated to appeal to the people. The old guard are about
getting ready to capitulate.
So now cornea Churchill with his unselfish
nouncement that he will renounce b|s candidacy for the
governorship If one of tho other aspirants within the
party will accept the platform adopted by the Lincoln-
Itea.
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 taka this lofty position on any ques
tion. Churchill has been making a remarkable campaign.
He has even had the asslgtance of Richard Harding Da
vis—whatever that may have been worth—and there
was certainly a fair chance of his election. But he feels
that there would be even a better chance of victory
hereafter If the Republicans, placed In power under
existing circumstances, failed or refused to carry out
their pledges and give the people the relief they need.
The election up in Maine, where the Republican
majority was smaller than It has been since 1881, has
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 tha Lincoln Republicans any more.
The Republican Campaign Book.
The Republican campaign textbook has at last been
Issued and la ready for circulation among the unen-
lightened who have a sincere desire 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
sentiments of the administration—whether it favors a
"stand pat" policy or tariff revision—there can be no
uncertainty In the terms expressed In the campaign text
book. It clearly declares that Mr. Roosevelt and a pro
tective tariff are the taauea on which the party Is willing
to go before the people. Tariff revisionists. It declares,
are practically free traders, snd 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
says, at the hands of the people.
The brazenness with which It defends the protection
ists is something almost amusing. It acknowledges that
manofaclnred products In many Instances are sent
•broad and sold In the open market over there more
cheaply than they can be bought In this country, but in
effect It ssks whose business Is It It these manufactur
ing concerns wish to sell their goods at cost or very
near it in order to secure a foothold In the raarketa
across the teas. * ,
How many people are In any degree prepared to be
lieve that American manufacturers are sailing their com
modities In the European markets at cost or anything
like cost? They are not actuated by any such charita
ble Impulses. They are out for the 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 so well known that we wonder how j nre here and are more thnn willing to meet here
the geniuses who devised this campaign book could J the offer 'of anj other city in the South for the
tlrely Ignorant on the subject
The trusts are enabled to sell these goods abroad
simply because a high protective tariff makes It possible,
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
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 wonld be hailed with delight
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 samo time given a well merited
recognition to one of the ablest and most effec
tive members of that great organisation, 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 qf 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
state association has been so effective, so strong,
so productive of fine 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 as the Farmers’ Union. They are a quiet
people and an unostentatious people who compose
They do not seek notoriety. They do not as
pire to live in the white light of publicity, nnd
they are far removed from politics and vainglo
rious boasting. ,
But it is by all odds and far and away tha
greatest farmers’ organization in this country. It
numbers 750,000 farmers in the South and in tho
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 fanners. There
are 225,000 members in the state of Texas, and
108.000 members in the state of Arkansas. Thero
are 02,000 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. The magnitude of the honor will be felt
equally by the state Bnd by the multitude of
friends who realize the noble nnd effective work
and the splendid qualities of the new president of
the National Fanners’ Union. In all Georgia
there is no man who joins to liis business capacity,
to his sectional loyalty, and to his devotion to the
great organization which he represents, a more
genial and tireless devotion to his friends and to
tho public good than Ch'arlcs 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
within the power of the president and the board
of directors of the National Farmers' Union to
chooso tho city which, shall bo the headquarters of
this association. President Barrett and the board
directors are absolutely unselfish about this
matter nnd arc anxious to locate tho head of the
Union in that place which will be the most central
nnd from which its interests esn be most fully ad
vocated and maintained. Tho Georgian itself sim
ply calls attention to the fact that different sec
tions and different cities of this country are com
peting eagerly for the honor and advantages of
being the head of this association. Texarkana has
offered to the union dll its floor spaca that it cares
occupy with light and heating for all the of
fices which they may require. Dallas, Texas, is
now eagerly making a bid along' these lines. Both
these states are in tho 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
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
750,1100 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 and en-
thusihstic co-operation of the citizens of Atlanta,
—ill he able within n short time to say to Presi-
nt Barrett and to the executive committee, “we
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 tho 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 Is no one who can
predict what the end will be.
Marines hare been landed from the Denver and the
Marietta, and It necessary the enUre Island Will be sur
rounded by a cordon of American war vessels. ' Those
who claim to be on the inside and to have special Infor
mation tell us that the outside world does not fully ap
preciate the gravity of tho situation. This, It Is said, 1s
not merely tho uprising of a few political discontents,
but haB Its roots deep down In tho hearts of the people,
who feel that they have Just grievances which have been
Ignored by tho 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
Americans having other Interests on the Island have
long slnco adopted a policy of arming their retainers
nnd keeping them on guard around their plantations
for protection against both revolutionists and govern'
tnent troops.
Tho end of It all, It seems, will be the establishment
of at least a protectorate over the island by the United
State*.
It cannot be said ihat this country has not kept ab
solute faith with the Cuban poopfe 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 tho Indications are that the time Is rapidly ap
proaching when we must take a hand, and the* tew
marines which have been landed on the Island may be
Increased at any time to an army of occupation.
Tho moral affect on the world, It the Cuban republic
should fall, would be very disastrous. It would give
color to the c6ntentlon of many of the older governments
that the Latin races of the new world are constitution
ally incapable of self-government, and that Cuba is
simply in .tbs same category with the states of South
America, where revolution Is the normal condition.
The developments of the Immediate future will be
watched with something more than passing Interest
grnpher on his newspaper to Mr. James B. Nevln,
of The Rome Tribune. This |3 h 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
satire and as bright as his own genial and generous
spirit
It is understood that Mr.' Nevln, on account of
his other business Interests In Rome, v/lU not be
able tff accept the offer of The Washington Herald,
but' The Georgian, which knows him and heartily ad
mires him. Is quite confident, that other and even
broader opportunltIes\will yet knock at" the door of
this gallant , and gifted young Journalist fit Geor
gia.
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 be
called The Herald, and the fact that Mr. Bone 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 hat always dis
played In his newspaper ventures is In the fact that
he has offered tho position of editorial para-
The Death of Henry M. Neill.
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 fila 78th year, and while the accident bo
sustained in being struck by a street car was not for a
time regarded as particularly serious, tbe shock to his
aged frame was such that It was impossible for him to
recover.
Sir. Neill was an Englishman, and came to ,thls
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 he was one of the largest
cotton buyers in the South, and in 1871 he was one of
the founders of the New Orlenns cotton exchange.
. Early In his 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 tor the market to fluctuate
50 points one way or the other on the announcement of
his estimates.
There came a time when be was the storm center
of a rather bitter controversy. Unfortunately'his lean
ings always seemed to 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 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 be seemed not to have the
clear prevision or the accuracy of forecast which had
once made his name something to conjure with. That
he was honest in his convictions Is freely conceded 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 tho old charm and prestige had
pasted away, and added to his declining years, he has
not been so conspicuous a figure as he once was.
When the record Is written no man will bo more
Intimately associated with the 'post-bellum development
of the cotton trade ot the South than Henry M. Ne111,
and the tragedy ot which he was the victim lends ad
ditional pathos to hi* death.

Now York. Sept. 14.—While It Is not
claimed by the friends of Miss Blanche
Leroy Shoemaker, daugther of the
rich New York banker, that she would
refuse to marry a man simply because
he had a title. It has been demonstrated
that a great title cuta very little fig ur .
In her life by the fact that she refuses
to have anything to do with Due De
Cholseul-Praslln, who has Just followed
her to the United States, determined
to marry her. “
Those who know Miss Shoemaker are
sure she will not marry the duke The
duke's family Is one of the oldest in

committed suicide In preference to the
guillotine. *
The Due De Choiseul-Praslln first
became attentive to Miss Shoemaker In

and on their refusal began to follow
her wherever she went, going to i,n n .

Tho statement Is made that the lats
Daniel O'Day, Standard Oil magnate

from a pier nt Long Island City while
on his way back to the Hurricane farm
at Amsterdam.
The horse swam out to midstream
and the tug C. C. Clark put out after
the valuable animal. For full half an
hour the tug chased him about in cir
