Wtlcotac the Farmer*’ Union.
i The greatest farmers' organisation
b that' the republic or the world haa ev-
w fr known, la represented In Atlanta
today by Its leading official*, state
| presidents,
' Brads of Ha members.
In the history of organizations In
. this country no one of them haa erer
! frown so rapidly or substantially and
fronts today ao hopeful and potential
—i » future as the Farmer*' Onion.
Its membership Include* nearly
tnlUlon actual and bona fide agricultur
ists In the South and West and In the
; Middle states. There are more mem
bers of the Farmers' Union In two
- -^ppuatle* of Georgia today than, of any
i#ith*r former orcaolxation In' the
■ -gj™ *
Thera must be aomethlng vital and
cohesive to bring together those
fining men ao swiftly and to bold
rfflflgB sir resolutely and so loyally In
j y It Is Ibis coherency that has given
[ the Farmers' Union Ita potential lore*
i In the llnanclng of Ita affaire, and In
' the tlodslon of the great questions
I Which relate to the Imperial staple of
1 Our section.
f When the Fanners' Union set Itself
Et'Asheville to the poaltlon that 11c
'was Its minimum price for cotton, they
did not change or fluctuate with condi
tions which surrounded them. Founded
upon a calm common sense, and sus
tained In recolute consistency, they
aid to that price, neither asking nor
tiling to accept less at any time. As
consequence the cooperative work
•—of this vast army of a million farm-
JJVrs baa Influenced and practically
- dominated the cotton market to a re-
I apcctful consideration of those figures.
' Cotton has gone above thla price for
a little while, but it has scarcely ever
’ gone lower by a fraction of a cent then
| the minimum price set by the Farmers'
• Union.
Wo have never seen an organisation
more quietly and yet more reeolutdy
get to Ita ideals than thla Farmers'
, Union. There 1e not a line of bluster
j and nothing of preteuse. They keep
their counsel and they keep their faith.
Thoy stand together and they general
ly win what they go out to seek.
The purpose of this Farmers' Union
Involves something more then the
1 price of cotton, relating as It docs to
I .tile general development of the farm-
• |ng classes along att high Unci ot
Improvement common to these men,

Pixjkrn to e great company df young men. gathered by-tbe tnunlflcenee-or

-'South. Wi .
They are significant and remarkable words from ev.-ry etandpolnt Is
which they may be viewed. '' ' • ■■
Governor-elect Hoke Smith has not yet reached the meridian ot life.
He Is In the -full vigor of physical and mental- strength, a great, keen
lawyer hitherto;devoted to that profession and enjoying Its highest tri
umphs and Its largest emoluments.
His fortune fn the greater cities would be deemed a most modest one.
Guessing roughly, the govern or-to-be haa amassed by hie own efforts
some (300.000 dollars and bla Income Is probably about (20,000 every year.
' A' New York clubman would laugh at that allowance. Moreover, U. hit.
future posalblllty Is to bo measured by hla pest capacity for awlft accu
mulation, Hoke Smith might reasonably expect'in this era or tremendous
opportunity to be worth a million dollars before he had intend upon the
.snows of slaty. , - ' • . ...; - ; ■ -
This epedflo and deliberate announcement then Barries with It
some reasonable conclusions- ■
The next governor ot Georgia Is not an avaricious man. He le not a
worshiper of money. In this great age ot accumulation he la satisfied
with a moderate competence ter himself and for hla family. He craves
neither luxury nor display.
"*' The hurt governor of Georgia Is an Independent mad. With his main
tenance assured, he does not need “to cringe for princee' favor," nor to
eke his fnoome'with doubtful trades or questionable Investments.' With
hls pocktt satisfied and the Inst ot accumulation eliminated, from bis UfeT
there la neither the Impale# to speculation nor the temptation to graft.
The governor-elect Is equipped to give hU time, talent and attention
In undivided loyalty to. pnbllc questions and to the atate. ;
These are the reflections with which we read the notable declara
tion, of. the coming chief executive, and In the faith of these reflections
we recelve -'and bollsva and applaud It. ' 1 *, / ' • - ■' -
The Georgian has been on terms of ordinary tntlmaoy, and haa ituil-
led with more than ordinary Interest for a score of years the remarka
ble man who will hold the helm of Georgia for a time. This observation
has had no glamor of hero worship, for we'have not been unmindful of
spots upou ths sun, nor have wa haaltattd ln our time to crltlolae as wall
as praise. But It Is our honest judgment that the life and character of
Holm Smith haa been one of progressive development In moral as In In
tellectual growth. Coming to Atlanta a stranger from another atate with
hla fortune In bit brain and tongue, he flung himself with the stormy
energy ot youth Into the etiwnuoua battle of eueceea, and lighting every
etep of the way against Seroe and splendid competition, he hag found hi*
way securely to the top. In the eagerness of battle than may have been
times when he was swept Into controverslea over keen, and moved to
policies over bold, but the men who are nearest to him, and the friends
who know him best will bear witness to the fact that, with every ad
vancing triumph, and with every rung ot the ladder mounted, there baa
come to Hoke Smith a larger vlslcm sad a kindlier heart. Side by aide
the two great elemanta have grown within him, and pari passu the moral
•snttosnt d»s kept pace with the Intellectual achievement With power
L ue «ireloi>y '‘the sense of regponsihlllty. With eminence has come
v|ston, and with vision larger comprehension, and from these have re-
sulted the expansion of pnrpoce and the exaltation ot ideals. The Hoke
Smith ot today la not the Hoke Smith of I(T8. The fierce and eager

til the curse-of politic* and political trading and ambition Is ellnllnsted
from tbs consideration of our educational needs.
The editor of The Georgias has foaght -fmr this qqdsUoe with, pen
and tongue upon the hustings and In all the columns that he haa con
trolled, and expects to light It until (he evil Is dethyonsd. If he hst
made enemies in so doing, he Is proud of them and the peoplo Ought to
honor him for these enemies th»t hie has made. He le willing.to mnke
other enemies In the sam£ great cause.
*fhe now governor of Georgia haa come In Aipon the greatest wave '6f
reform that has ever borne a chief executive- to our Georgia capital. We
believe that he meant great things. Wo belfsve he lp^ capable -of great
thing*. Wo recaU with pleasure that he tam given trebly or his time aid
talents to tho advocacy ot educational causes, and thatJie baa plantetl
hla educational expressions upon high And lofty grouud. It'may perhxps
be unnecessary to make thla appeal to iilm, but to making It wa are limply
voicing that sentiment which, If he has It already In his hsart, will .hold
up. his hands in the good work and give him assurance of the great
throbbing wish of the honest teachers and patroni of the Georgia schools
> to put these great Institutions In- all thslr departments, executive and su-
pervtsoiyrupbo the sheer taxis of merit Ud Interest to the cause of ed
ucation.
Time was when one of'our great educational Institutions was deem
ed a mockery, the football' of politicians—when bosses and . lobbyists
were supposed to barter Ita professorships like shuttles In the warp and
woof of politics—and when the political bosses of the state traded la
these high and responsible stations as they wonld trade for merchandise
In the publlo marts. • '*
.Time was when the Appointments to the high and almost holy re
sponsibility of the direction of our youth, have been- squandered upon
who had done the will of politicians In office and who In them-

straining against the competitive battles of a brilliant bar, baa
triumphed and rieen and married a noble woman, and mellowed out
of the struggling aspirant Into the statesman and the patriot—looking with
larger eyes ot understanding upon the question* ot hi* time, rising to the
full height-of every great occasion that demands bis powers, satisfied
with what be has had and what he has, and wanting no more—and if we
know him, as we think we do—wishing above all things to be remembered
by hie children and by his people as one who served them highly and
served them unselfishly In bis time.
Now we deliberately and thoughtfully believe this to be the true and
lust and Impartial estimate of the 'man Hoke Smith—the governor-elect
of Georgia.
And believing this, we receive with civic satisfaction the word*
spoken to the Students ot the Tech nologtcal school on Monday. They are
word* oT rare unselfishness. They are words ot lofty purpose, and they
are words of specific consecration.
The pleasure that we feel In them Is In the capable source from
which they come. Here ts the most potential Individuality In the state, a
strong, brave, manly man. powerfully equipped for service, comparatively
young, abundantly able, and evidently sincere, who putting behind him the
eonilderatiom which divert mea'e minds, and tempt men's souls, deliber
ately gives himself to the service ot the people—to the study ot their
problems, to the advocacy of their rights, to the righting ot their wrongs
—without the consideration ot private profit, or the expectation of further
political reward.
We congratulate the strong man who spoke the word*. Wc congratu
late the hopeful youth who board them, and we congratulate the state
upon the fact that these words hare been so bravely spoken, and so
broadly heard.
We expect great sorvlce from this great servant In these great rears
to come.
"solve* or'In their families have been expected to sustain these politicians
in,the future march of their ambition toward public place.
We fling onoe more into the teeth of thla unworthy practice the state
ment of a great and patriotic statesman that ''publlo offlee ta a public
trust.".
We protest once more that the high respohilbmty of the appointing
power should not be used in paying personal debt* or (n, planting the
foundation for political preferment In the future.
And we are sure that no statement which the new governor can
make In his first and eagerly expected Inaugural, wlU carry more com
fort and more promise to the heart of Georgia than the strong and firm
aaaurance that jollttcs shall be dlvnrcad hsneefortb from education
-the state.'
President Barrett, speaking on Monday for no.ooo Georgia farmer*
and as well for over 400,000 Georgia children and ‘L-tlr parents, used
these words In summing upjUw.ddiieutlonal situation.
"In general terras I would say mors cooperation and lata dic
tation—more praotleal farmer* sod 1st* politicians—more local

THE CURSE OF OUR EDUCATIONAL SYSTEM I
When Governor Hoke Smith enters Into his high estate la June. The
Georgian baa ]utt one petition to prefer In the mapping of hit public poli
cies.
We pray the new governor in the Interest of all nobler and belter
education In the atate. that he will sdt hla great foot fait and flrtn
against the policy of packing the boards of educational Institutions with
politicians, selected rather for their rapacity to reciprocity the fsvor,
then for any peculiar fitness to help the cause of education.
This habit has been the blinding curse ot education In the atate ot
Georgia for the tait twenty rests. H there hss been any lack ot progfon
In the educational Institutions ot ths state from the university down
through the lesser schools. It has beefa this evil custom.
