. —LOWELL.
Hoke Smith May Go Higher.
Some of our contemporaries across the line have been
discussing the governor-elect of Georgia as a possibility
for the" next national candidate of the Democratic party.
The Georgian sees no reason why this Is not a natural
and legitimate topic of dlacusilon. The governor-elect of
Georgia fa easily recognised by well-informed public men
and newapapera throughout the republic as one of the
essentially strong and forceful Americans of this genera
tion. His great force, bit enormous vitality, his strenu
ous courage and hla splendid abilities have stamped him
as s figure of high expectancy In the politics of the future.
There can be no queatlon of the fact that Mr. Hoka
Smith, of Georgia, la amply equipped with the ability
end the experience to make a strong and vigorous chief
executive of the United Ststes. He has already demon
strated in his really wonderful conduct of the department
of the interior, under Mr. Cleveland, that grasp of affairs
taptjod jo pua l|«tep jo Xieisam eAisueqetdmoo tuq» pun
than which the presidency would lay do higher tax upon
his abilities.
The time Is near at hand, If not already here, when a
Southern man will be Just as eligible for the presidency
as any citlxen of any section of the republic. The editor
of The Georgian has been persuaded for these past
several years that the people of this great country are
simply waiting for an opportunity to give the finishing
blow to sectionalism in the election of a Southern states
man to one or the other of the chief places of the
republic. Wo think that Democratic conventions. In
which the South ought always to dominate, so long as she
continues to furnish the vast majority of the votes, have
been too timid and time-serving in past days upon this
vital matter, it Is a question of where—
"We either fear our fate too much,
Or trust it not at ail,
Who fear to put It to tbe touch,
to win or lose It all.”
The Democratic convention, which, looking into the face
of this broad and fraternal age, will take from these roy
ally and magnificently growing stateo of tbe South a
statesman worthy In character and ability of presidential
honors, and project him aa Its candidate, will reap the
reward of Its courage in the response of the Amerlcsn
people.
So far as Mr. 8mlth Is concerned, it would doubtless
be a very easy thing, it his friends would organise to
that end, to make him the second figure upon the next
national Democratic ticket. We seriously question
whether Mr. Smith would accept or could afford to accept
this position. We fully believe that there Is set for him
in hla present station a mission of higher service and of
even greater fame than the nominal poeltlon as president
of tbe aenate and successor in an emergency to the
president of the United States.
At any rate. It is not untimely to. discuss a Southern
man to lead tbe Democratic party in the next campaign.
The Issues of the great battle of 1908 are not yet made
up. nor Its esndidstss chosen. The age Is advancing,
history la making along economic and commercial lines
every day that we life, and 1 four speculative friends In the
Northern and Central states are disposed to revolve their
prophecies around the person of the governor-elect of
Georgia, we do not hesitate to Inform them that he la to
type and In capacity fully worthy of their profound and
cordial consideration, and it likely either as a personal
leader, or as a strong personal influence, to be recognised
"and felt in tbe next national platform and candidate of
the Democratic party.
OUR PLATFORM- -The Georgian stands for Atlanta's Owning its own gas and elec
tric light plants, as it now owns its water works. Other cities do this and get gas as low as 60 cents,
with a profit to tbe city. This should be done at once. The Georgian believes that if street rail
ways can be operated successfully by European cities, as they are, there is no good reason why they
can not be so operated here. But we do not believe this can be done now, and it may be some years be
fore We are ready for so big an undertaking. Still Atlanta should set its face in that direction NOW
emphatic lesson upon the value of consistency In publio
life and upon the folly of yielding to violent hatred and
bitter denunciation in political campaigns.
The Fallen Jerome.
Tew men in natidhal politics have risen so swiftly and
fallen so fait as Mr. william Travers Jerome.
Two years ago, at the conclusion of the New York
municipal election, when. In bold defiance of party lines
and of personal graft, he announced his fearless independ'
ent candidacy for the district attorneyship, he was the
distinct political Idol of New York, and was the toast of
brave and honest politics throughout the country.
Mr. Jerome’s tenure of offlee. however, demonstrated
so large a difference between promlso and fulfillment, and
upon the lips of his critics esme such a well-sustained
charge of betrSyal of pledges made prior to his election,
that he lost caste and the confidence of the people, and
In his present lowly state is a very different man from
the unique and triumphant publicist of two years ago.
In the last election Mr. Jerome was an eager aspirant
for a nomination for tbe governorship by any party
that would accept him. He was an outspoken applicant
for the Republican nomination or tbe Democratic nomina
tion, aa the case might be, and was. above all things, a
furious and frantic opponent ot Mr. Hearst, whom he now
opposes with whatever feeble might Is left him.
But Mr. Jerome Is eo far discredited that even tbe
Republican party, with ail its frantic eagerness to defeat
Mr. Hearst for the governorship, has seen fit to frankly
decline the services of Mr. Jerome as a speaker In behalf
of Hughes on the Republican side of the campaign.
So that, rejected aa a nominee by both parties, debarred
from any affiliation with tbe Democratic nominee and the
Independence League nominee by his violent diatribe,
he la now discredited as an influence by the Republican
machine and seems to be without a party and without a
welcome anywhere.
The brief but meteoric csreer of Mr. Jerome in a very
The President. Mrs. Davis and Georgia.
How swiftly and yet how softly the asperities of politics
and the impulsive expressions of youthful prejudice are
modified la the lapse of years, or melted finally in the
little acts of kindness which always move the world.
There Is no rank or station that kindness does not
touch, and no bosom however filled with mighty cares that
does not answer back, swiftly reciprocal' to the sugges
tion of a magnanimous and friendly spirit
And the people—God bless them!—love and applaud the
little things that breathe of grace and graclouanesi and
greatness and a noble mind In one man or In many men.
The world loves a generous deed and the doer ot It.
Here are three incidents that will please this finer
spirit of the times.
Norwood Mitchell, a Virginian, and president of the
Georgia commission for the Jamestown Exposition, con
ceived In his chlvalrtc mind that Georgia would do a
handsome and a proper thing by choosing for tbe Georgia
House at Jamestown that old historic mansion at Ros
well -in which was born and married the mother of the
president of the United States, who at this time, and per
haps for all time, will be reckoned the most Illustrious
grandson of the commonwealth of Georgia. The sugges
tion took Instant root in enthusiastic soil, for while there
were many men in Georgia who took Isbub with some
views of our great president, there were none who ques
tioned bis fearless public bonesty, and there were many
who followed in the faith of his recent public policies and
other thousands of us, men and women, who find It easy
to forget the strenuous president, in tbe cblvalric and
tender gentleman who centered his visit to Georgia
around an act of knightly and noble reverence to tbe
gentle woman who gave him birth. If all the world loves
a lover, it loves that lover not the less when his mother
Is the object of his tenderness, and we In Georgia, more
fortunate than our fellows, have seen in Theodore Roose
velt the loving and loyal son, where others have wel
corned only the statesman and the president.
And so the thought was gallant and filial that con
ceived the idea of touching the tenderest side of the
great man’s nature by this joint tribute to his mother
and himself.
Did it reach the president’s appreciation? Instantly.
No man ever yet has failed to reach Theodore Roose
velt who touched that tenderer and nobler side ot him.
On the day that the Georgia'papers and President
Mitchell's letter readied the White House with the an
nouncement of Georgia's Jamestown home, the president
sat dowa within the hour and penned this cordial note
which stnga true in every line:
The White House, Washington, Oct. 16, 1906.
My Dear Mr. Mitchell: ‘I need hardly say how
much touched and pleased I was by the pro|x>»ftfon
to reproduce my mother's old home at Jamestown.
Naturally there was nothing that could have appealed
to me more. Whatever the decision in the matter
may finally be, allow roe to thank you most warmly
for your suggestion. With great regard.
THEODORE ROOSEVELT.
W. N. Mitchell, Esq., President Georgia Commission
to Jamestown Exposition,. Atlanta, On.
On the same day there lay in quiet state In a New
York hotel the mortal remains of a noble woman, who
was known and honored in her lifetime aa the "Mother of
the Dead Confederacy.” Between her chieftain husband
and Theodore Roosevelt’s Impetuous youth there had
widened a difference expressed tn warm and impatient
words. Years had softened and stilled the Incident and
many a time the president had said that in maturer
years he would not have written as warmly as he did,
and that It he was In private station he would say this
to the world.
And within tbe same hour that sped the telegram
thanking Georgia for the tribute to his mother, the presi
dent sent this brief but sufficient message to New York:
"The White House. Washington, Oct. 17.—Mrs. J.
Addison Hayes, Hotel Majestic. New York City: Pray
accept the most sincere aympathy of Mrs. Roosevelt
and myself. THEODORE ROOSEVELT."
And the flowers of the White House, the rarest and
most fragrant, went that day from President and Mrs.
Roosevelt to take their place among the world-wide
tributes to the dead wife of Jefferson Davis, the dead
Mother of the Dead Confederacy!
Is there any one who does not know that the message
from Georgia to Washington, made a little swifter and a
little softer the message from Washington to New .York?
Without the message from Georgia that message would
doubtless have gone from the Gentleman of the White
House to the last survivor of the Gentleman of the Con
federacy.
But the heart of the gallant republic prefers to be
lieve that the tribute of Georgia to the one mother
quickened by a noble heart beat the tribute to the other
from the great president of the United States.
Union. It is a campaign practically of politics without
regard to party. Neither Hearst nor Hughes care to
have national Issues or a strict party alignment brought
Into the campaign. ' Mr. Hearst’s campaign Is pitched
upou tbe proposition to restore the American system
of government to the country and tq abolish bosses and
to do away with corporation control of the government.
To accomplish this he is appealing jointly to Jefferson
Democrats and Lincoln Republicans. Upon practically
the same Issue in the last municipal campaign, 40 per
cent of all his votes was composed of honest Republicans
of the city. In this state campaign he expects 40 per
cent of his support to come from the Lincoln Republicans
of the state. For this reason Mr. Hearst does not care
to hare party lines drawn, and for this reason be finds it
fiood policy not to invife the most eloquent living Dem
ocrat or any other national Democrat to speak for him
upon strict party lines in the New York election.
It is for exactly the same reason that President
Roosevelt is not taking a personal part or making any
personal speeches in the New York campaign of Candi
date Hughes. Mr. Hughes has pitched his campaign
upon the theory' that the issue is one ot decent govern
ment and Is as eager as Mr. Hearst to obliterate strict
party lines from the struggle because of his belief that
many Democrats trill follow the lead ot bolters under/
McClellan, or McCarren and Jerome.
It may be said that when Mr. Hughes takes his stand j
upon the principle of decent government,-that Mr. Hearst
docs not by any means accept that as the issue of the
campaign or offer to meet him as the champion of the |
other kind of government. On the other hand when Mr. , ^- ew York, Oct. 18. a queer Chi
j Hearst says that the supreme issue Is the destruction of j custom, little known, I believe, cropped
corporate rule. Mr. Hughes does not place himself as ' up today in connection with the an-
the defendant of corporate rule. j nouncement yesterday of ths death in
But there can be no doubt that tbe issue
has made is the issue upon which the campaign
ing fought and followed on either side.
Mr. Hughes' diligent attempt to establish himself as
the representative of decent government Is not likely to
impress very profoundly the great mass of the New York
voters who have seen only great reforms and honest
elections come from the work of Mr. Hearst On the oth
er hand. Mr. Hearst's contention that the issue of the
hour it tbe destruction of corporate rule'and tbe aboli
tion of bosses, will doubtless appeal to the Judgment and
experience of the great mass of the voters In the city
and throughout the state.
Upon a comparison of issues, no man will deny that
by the record and by observation, that Mr. Hearst has
all the best of It. And any man who will read the
speeches of the two candidates made in New York will
not fall to recognize the greater clarity and. force of
the Democratic candidate with the people.
But the conditions given above in which politics Is
being played without party, will furnish an ample expla
nation of why Bryan is not speaking for Hearst, and
why Roosevelt is not speaking for Charles E. Hnghes.
The Issues are beyond party and, in point of fact, above
party. *

PLEA FOR COTTON FIELDS;
ATLANTAN TO RANKERS
TELLS OF GEORGIA’SNEED]
Special to The Georgian.
St. Louis, Mo., Oct. 18.—A plea for
the cotton fields was the subject of
Charles J. Haden’s speech at the
bankers' convention here today.
Mr. Haden said In part: "The cot
ton fields of the South need a larger
volume of currency at the harvest sea
son. Cotton at that season so nearly
absorbs our whole banking capital
that other lines of traffic are made to
suffer. I am here to aak your distin
guished body to throw the weight of
Its great Influence tn favor of some
plan that will relieve the yearly con
gestion.”
Mr. Haden then spoke ot the value
of cotton to the world at large nnd
produced figures of the past to back
up hla statements.
SAM JONES' WORK AT HOME;
CARTERSVILLE TABERNA CLE
WAS BUILT BY HIS EFFORTS
Nooks and Comers
of American History
By REV. THOMAS B. GREGORY.
Sam Jones was one ot the moei pub
lic-spirited men In Cartersville. He
was always Identified with every move
ment for the upbuilding and better
ment of his home town.
Ills first move was to raise money
for the construction of the building
known as the Sam Jones Tabernacle, n
structure with a seating capacity of
over (.000. His meetings were always
held In thta building, and every large
gathering of a religious nature tool:
place here. It cost several thousand
dollars, and the money was raised by
subscription.
Mr. Jones' other movement was the
one which resulted In the erection of a
building to ba known aa the Sam Jones
Female College. The evangelist was
tn donate a certain amount ot money
toward Its construction, while the bal
ance w-as to be raised by the citizens
of the' community.
For some reason the balance of the
money was never raised and the build
ing was never used tor the purpose for
which It was .originally Intended. It Is
now used us the Cartersville High
School.
The building Is a two-story brick
structure with a basement and cosl
nearly >16,000. The building of a school
for the education of poor girls was a
project Which was close to the evange
list's heart. He spent a great deal of
time and labored earnestly and-faith
fully toward this end, but his efforts
were never crowned with success and
the building was turned over to Car
tersville without cost to the city.
ACT OF CHARITY MARKED
LA SI HOURS OF SAM JONES
Why Bryan Is Not Speaking For Hearst.
It has perhaps been an occasion ot some wonder, after
what has been said and published, that Mr. Bryan is not
at this time speaking in New York state in behalf of Mr.
Hearat, the Democratic candidate tor governor ot that
state.
When Mr. Bryan lauded in New York Sir. Hearst oc
cupied a box at his Garden reception and afterwards
called upon him at tbe Victoria hotel. Mr. Hearst also
refused to express in speech or in print his difference
with Mr. Bryan upon 'the question of government own
ership ot railroads because he was unwilling to be placed
in the attitude of criticising Mr. Bryan's attitude.
When Mr. Bryan was in Atlanta he authorized the edi
tor of The Georgian to proffer hla services to Mr. Hearst
for several speeches In the New York campaign as soon
as the Buffalo'conventiou had completed ita work.
Mr. Hearst received the message with every evidence
of great appreciation and there is no doubt but that the
most cordial personal relations exist between the two
greatest Democrats of this generation.
Why, then, since Mr. Bryan has offered and since
Mr. Hearst su appreciates the offer, is not the New York
campaign being enlivened and Inspired by the eloquence
of the great Nebraskan and its Democracy solidified by
the object lesson of Bryan and Hearst working in har
mony for Democratic success?
The answer to this question offers the fullest and
rompletest explanation of the situation tn New York.
There never was such a campaign as that which is
being waged at prraeut la the Empire State of tbe
N|ieelel to The Georgian.
Cartersville, Ga., Oct. 18.—The last
act of Sam Jones was one of charity.
On his way from Oklahoma City to
Memphis his attention had been called
to a woman In one of the coaches. She
was weeping ami appeared tn be In a
distressed condlton. She was accom
panied by an Invalid hushund, and
were without money or ticket to com
plete their Journey. Both were sup
plied by the evangelist.
The story Is told by Hov. French E.
Oliver, of Chicago, who has been as
sisting Mr. Jones In the West, and
who accompanied the body und mem
bers of the family to Cartersville.
"Coming on the train over here,”
said Bev. Oliver, "his daughter called
her father's attentlo-i to a lady tn the
day coach. -She went over and, after
asking a few questions, found that the
poor woman was without money nnd
could not reach her destination, and
that her husband wss very sick.
Mr. Jones went to the Pullman con
ductor Immediately and made arrange
ments for a berth for the sick man.
He sat down with the two. He told
them that he loved them: that he was
sorry for them, and would do whot he
could. He gave them money enough
to get them through.
"The woman then asked who the
kind man was, and she was told that
he was Sam Jones, the evangelist.
"The woman burst Into tears of grat
itude and she could hardly express her
thanks.
"Through her tears she said that she
had loved Sam Jones all her life, or
since she was a child.
" '1 didn't dream.' said she, 'that Sam
Jones would be the man to help us
out In our present condition.'
"The country Is waking up to the
fact,” continued Rev. Oliver, "that
mighty prince has fallen In Israel. 1.
was, without question In my mind, the
greatest preacher America has ever
produced.
"That says it all, because the old
country Is forced to send over here to
get evangelists who can move their
people.
"He had the biggest heart for the
unlovable and those who needed sym
pathy of any man In this generation.
“I believe undoubtedly .that he was
ns truly a prophet of God ns was
Moses or Isaiah. His fearlessness,
coupled with his characteristic address,
stimulated more preachers to activity
than any one man since the days of
Apostle Paul. Fearless as he was,
his heart was as tender as that of a
woman."
CHARLES WATERTON.
Probably not one person in a thou
sand In this countfy has read "Water-
ton's Wanderings," and yet It Is one of
the dearest and most aehgiufui books
In the world.
No one can read the quaint old
volume without falling in love with It,
and, what Is better still, without being
In evert noble way benefited by It.
It was In the courso of his review of
the "Wanderings” of the grand old
English "Squire" that Sydney Smith,
commenting on certain ot‘ Waterton's
statements, got off his ever-famous
remark about the Sloth who "Moves
suspended, Vestq suspended, sleepe sus
pended and passess his whole life In
suspense, like a young clergyman dis
tantly related to a bishop." Also of
the Boa, who swallows the Box Tor
toise, nnd "consumes him slowly In
the Interior, as the court of chancery
does a large estate."
Charles Waterton, representative of
one of the mast ancient untitled aristo
cratic families of England, was born
in 1783 nhd died In 1866, at the ven
erable age of 83. --
No kinder, truer or more honorable
man ever breathed the breath of life,
und If the spirit that dominated hla
life and that lives In every page of
his charming book was universal
among us the earth would be a differ
ent thing from what It Is. — - -
Waterton's chief wanderings were In
South America, but In 1820 the grand
old man took U Into his head to visit
Canada and the United States.
Of the city of Now York he wrote:
"Ere long It will be on the coast of
North America what Tyre once was on
that of Syria. In her port ore the
ships of all nations, and In her streets
Is displayed merchandise from all
parts of the world. Broadway Is the
principal street. It Is three miles and
a halt long. 1 am at a loss to know
where to look for a street, in any part
of the world, which has so many at
tractions as this!”
What would the dear old man have
to say of the Broadway of today were
he permitted to see It?
A perfect rentleman. Indeed a most
chivalrous and gallant knight In the
sentiments of hla soul. It Is not sur-
The deportation of a painting sup
posed to have been the work of an
Italian master, because the custom au
thorities valued it at >200, and the Im
porter had arranged to dispose of It
for from >60.000 to >76,000, will open
the eyes of prospective purchasers of
old works of art. No one seems to
know the owner of the painting or the
nereon with whom he was negotiating
for Its purchase. Connoisseurs are
looking for more paintings said to be
from the same brush.
Experts say it Is eay to attribute
paintings to old masters, and that many
Americans are deceived in this wav.
When it la argued that the price asked
is excessive, the dealer calls attention
to the high-duties paid through the
appraisers' stores to prove a painting's
authenticity. A duty of >10,000 would
be paid on a painting invoiced at >50,-
000.
The oldest actress is dead. Not many

Speaking of the mighty strides of
the young giant of the West, Water-
ton wrote: 'ills advancement as a
nation has been rapid beyond all cal
culation: and young as he Is, It may
be remarked without any Impropriety,
that he Is now actually reading a salu
tary lesson to the rest of the civilized
world.”
And that ups long before the day
the "Monroe Doctrine" and Eilhu
Root!
Dear old Charles Waterton knew a
good thing when he saw It. hence the
following deliverance: "Politicians of
other countries Imagine that Intestine
feuds will cause a division In this
commonweal!^; at present there ap
pears to he no reason for such con
jecture. Heaven forbid that It should
happen! The world at large would
suffer by It. For ages yet to come
may this great commonwealth con
tinue to be the United 8tatee of Amer
ica.”
'.'Uncle Tom's Cabin nnd "Bleeding
Kansas," together with the dread se
quel, were vet to come; but It Iq good
to recall the fact that dn the May
morning of the year IMS. when Water-
ton breathed his last. It had already
been revealed to him that "God
reigned, and that tbe government al
Washington still lived."

that for the last twenty years a snake's
fang had been circulating through hie
system. Mr. Burns was slightly puz
zled when he yanked the fang from
his right thumb, for he did not then
remember ever having been bitten by a
snake.
•it’s certainly a snake tooth." said
the snake artist from the park zoo.
"and to have it tucked away in your

Burns then recalled that In tbe 'SOs
when he ran n bird store he had been
bitten by a boa constrictor, but he was
sure he had been bitten on the left
thumb. Moreover, he showed the seer
on his left thumb.
From time ta time Burns would feel
a pricking sensation In various parts of
his body. One year It would be felt In
the shoulder and another year further
down the back. Finally, he felt It In
his right thumb, and a little mass of
hard matter .formed there. While at
his work he squeexed this mass of mat

sharply that he mads an Incision In
the thumb and Investigated. He pulled
out the tooth.
