It surprises ti* to hear ho many peo ple Inquire; whether President Wilson thinks Villa a better man than Huerta. Just keep your point of view straight and this foolish talk about Villa’s atrocities usd Villa's former life as n bandit need not trouble you. The president Is not doing the St. Peter act and deciding who shall cotno In and who shall stay out. Huerta's offenses against the moral code ind the customs of civilization were not the causes for President Wilson's re fusal to accord him recognition. It wns Just the significant little fact that by Huerta's treachery to M'Micro and his connivsned at Madero’a assas sination he came into power that made the president of the United Stales realise that this nation could not stretch out its hand to this assassin without losing It* self-respect and without giving active encouragement to political adventurers of the mur derer type. Villa is not In the class with Huerta. There Is no more occasion to discuss tile comparative depravity of Huerta and Villa than there is to discuss the comparative depravity of Huerta and Harry Thaw—though, since the sub Jec t has come up we might as well add that In our opinion Villa, among the desperadoes and turbulent people of Mexico, i* a pretty straight sort and not us bad ms he is painted by those who feel that they are proving something by comparing him to Huerta. LOOKING FOR MYSTERY. The Macon Telegraph aeema l<» think there la Home dark and dene* mystery behind the decision of Can huh Director Harris to give up a seven thousand a year government job good for at least the four years' term, leave Washington where he Htands close to PrsildfUt Wilson and come to Geor gia to take a chance at the govern or ship. The Macon Telegraph ought to re pjcinher that there are still a great many people In Georgia who look upon the governorship of this great state as something worth striving for, something worth keeping when they get it. and something worth nucriflc ing government Jobs for. It looks as H u«ugh Mr. Harris were one of these ’• welcome his candidacy for this reason as well as for others \\« like to realise that there are men of Georgia who consider the honor of being governor a very great one and are ready to risk the loss of seven thousand a year for four > ears to achieve the distinction and high posi tion which the gubernatorial chair of Georgia brings The people of this state are Justly Indignant at the way ambitious po|t ticians who long to figure In national life have sought this honor from them and then lightly thrown it Into the outstretched hands of any one likely to catch It. Issues of vital Importance to the right government and good develop ment of the commonwealth have been set aside to cool because personal am bition diverted the thoughts and pur |Niaes of one of Georgia's strong lead ers. From the opposite school of poll tlclans there has been another deser tion and It Is small wonder that the cHlsens of Georgia feel a revolt and disgust at these examples of hnd faith. The Macon Telegraph is so used to gauging political moves from the standpoint of what the office means selfishly to the office seeker, that It !.m not strange to find It groping shout to discover Hn unseen fhcentive for Mr. W.*J. Harris* entrance into the n ce. The fact that Mr. Harris wants to get rid of the unit rule, which is nothing but a big piece of political machinery, used In the interest of one faction and then another, as well as a most hi earn and fantastic perver sion of the democratic principle of the rights of the majority, prompt* the Telegraph to ask •‘Who is pushing him forward, and In w'hoae interest is the proposition to •trip the small counties of Georgia of their power in the state convention?** Is It then, ao unconceivable that a man may h< Impelling principles of patriotism and ideals of Juat and fair government** Mr. Harris appears to us to he an swering the call of |troirr«-iM* as It halts before the machine of politics. The vimpls fart that he 1a wilting to let a big government snap slip out of his hands on the rhino of being elo« ted shows the right metal There Is no mystery In these things to those of us who "have w>es to see** THE GREAT RACE WILL START TODAY Enter Your Baby Today in the Great “Shower of Gold” Contest.

Sir: Allow' me u short space in your pa per, in answer to the Joe Grown edi torial which 1 read in last and this Sunday's American, which he seems to delight In knocking and trying to tear apart the men who are struggling, to make an honest living for themselves ami families. The union men no doubt him and his class would delight if it was possible for them to destroy the t’mon, but let it go down in history, that we are here to stay, and that ho for one will he a thing soon forgotten in a short while. No doubt he has taken these steps to try and win a soft pension Job from Mr. Ompttor, hut we see there is something lac king, and that capitalist don't waste their time on politicians who gain their office through the Union men. am! hold It by a dictator or tw« they give these high roiling Jobs to men who enn dic tate and not he dictated too, so little Joe back to the farm for you. and don’t allow yourself to he fooled by believing there is only 12,000 Union men in Georgia, for we have at least 3,000 in Augusta, and there is at least eight or ten thousand in Atlanta, and then we have the Farmers' Union, etc. lie also mentions that It was com posed of foreigners. No doubt we haw a few foreign-horn In our ranks, and we are proud to sav our ancestors were foreigners, and that these loving states of ours would still he wilder nesses if it was not for them, and so if there is no foreign blood In you, why you see it was poor progress here un tlll they came. Your class does, on opening of some big enterprise, think of first trying to get immigrant labor, simply because it la the cheapest, and send agents to these foreign countries with a promise of good wages, and easy living, finds them here and when they come, they readily see it ia Im possible for them to live on the piwar wages, and so they appeal for help to go hack home and they are locked In. and forced to work, and not exist; So at the first opportunity they are forced into action they unite to stand as one. and demand what the Gonstltution of this free country stands for. Liberty, and then yours will call on militia for protection, and those of us who be long have to respond, because we fee! and know that when the call is sound ed that It is greater than that of any other, hut it is hard when we know that we are called on to take arms against those who are struggling for their mere existence, and if the mili tia was left entirely with the President or a competent hoard of Commission ers to call out, why the young men would take more interest in it. and the ranks would alwny« remain full and not leave it to the governors, as they are always In favor of the dicta tors but we are proud to say we have one governor who is his own dictator, and that one is Cole 1 Pease, may he alwavs live to accomplish that which hia mind seta him to. x And now you *penk of the negro, well for instant# yours is after cheap lalmr. had a house to build, of course in figuring expenses you would try to get the negro, he not being a union man. would wivrk cheaper and iA doubt give satisfaction while the white man would be walking around THEN—AND—NOW One hundred and twenty years ago todap occurred the events w'hieh re sulted In an insurrection for the In dependence of Ireland. At midnight of that day Dublin was In an uproar. The doors of a local legislative reform club, a branch of the United Irish men Society, burst open v/ith a crash. In the doorway stood the scarlet coated soldiers of the king, covering the assembled Irishmen with their guns. The leaders were arrested and carried off to jail for treason. From this moment dates the insurrsetton that was fought four years later. Ireland was flooded with government troops, hut the society grew rapidly. OatliH of membership and secrecy were administered. Pikes and muni tions of war were secretly dlstrlbut ed and hidden for the uprising. The society had over 500,000 members at the beginning of 1798. Stern mens ureH to stamp out the rebellion were Instituted. The Insurrection began near Spafford on the 24th of May. It raged for a month, closing in tho battle of Vinegar Hill with victory for the government. The rebellion cost the lives of 150,000 Irishmen and 20,000 English. Three years later the Irish parliament was removed from Dublin and united with the Eng lish at Dondcn. So don’t you think It is to our advant age, as well as hls and the foreigner, to organize? If not, why yours would he working the cheapest labor of course, and then you brought In Af filiate, and what does It mean? Webster’s dictionary says: "To re ceive Into a family as a son.” Now why did you not finish it and put It as It should be: To rpeeive into a fam ily as a son, or Into a society as a member. So you see it Is into society we have taken him and even if we should Invite them to dtne why we would feel better and safer than we would If we had some of yours. I don’t suppose there Is any bank defaulters or home wreckers amongst them? and the example was set hy one of our greatest statesmen -Theodore Roosevelt. And think, as long as yours will make us pay taxes for their edu cation we should try to bring them up to a standard, so that they will take some of the burden on themselves. You said about disfranchisement, well for instance: Why was the negro disfranchised ? Yours started that dirty vote buying at election, and then yours seeing It being too expensive, why yours hail It abolish, and the dis franchisement or your primary so it would give yours a chance for more pocket change. You also spoke of a. Slush fund. We are proud to know that we arc able to accumulate some money, and put It where we know it will he fn safe hands, and can draw on It, If It should become necessary, as we know that yours has been organized, and that there is a slush fund that yours draw on. So you see this is a free country. You speak as If union and the name and meaning w r ere of the meanest thing. Why union Is a body formed by the combination of parts, as among workmen for class protection. For in stance: has not yours formed unions? Win take the Chamber of Commerce, the Merchants and Manufacturers As sociation, take your corporations, and have not they formed as a body for class protection? and why should we not? (live the man you employ good wages, and see If we all wont get along tietter. Now, take the working man, two thlrds of us don’t, as it fs. get wages enough to Hupply our home wants and foneMHltleM, with a little recreation for ouTwelves and families, and why should not we look forward to a way of advancing our condition? Now you run down union, and I sup pose you are in favor of schools? Well, now take a trip around the state. You will .see 40 per cent of the children at work under 10 years old, and inves tigate and see; you will find them to he children of non-union families. The principles of all unions is too place their children in schools and keep them there, but froyi what I have seen of the public schools nowadays, they are trying to force the children through at a very rapid gate, thinking, 1 suppose, that yours will get a chance to have them as cheap laborers; but we are thankful we are coming to the time when yours will he on the same footing, and that labor will he able to have as much say so as capital. For Instance, yours will pass a law that happens to hurt yours, probably against u railroad; you will bring the freight rates down, bluffing the public, but who does it benefit? Why surely not us. Suppose the railroads would carry it for nothing? why we would have to pay the same if not more. So it seems that yours gets it all. And then here la one more of your’s work: There was a bill up before Con gress a few days ago. which would help our side and probably some of yours the Spanish War Veterans’ Pension BUI. and what was the con sequence? Every congressman from Georgia voted against It Thought it would he a burden on the national treasury. Not thinking that the Union Veterans of the sixties wore drawing theirs from the national treasury, and the Confederates were drawing theirs from their respective state treasuries and that if the bill don't pass the sen ate. that In case one of those men who went off in IH9B should die. their children would he probably put into a home, and that the state would also have that to keep up to. No, It seems like a lot of school children,—you vote my way this time, I*ll vote yours next But if it was something for yours where 1200,000 or $300,000 was con cerned, why it would he different, they would all vote aye. hut one. probably, so the introducer could con e hack and brag what a hard time he had to pass it. but where it would he one more poor widows concerned, why let us go together, on record, as opposed to it. Now, for instance, we have in our midst, an officeholder, who Is out for re-election, ami he is willing to stake his business reputation if he does not make a better showing in the next two years than he has in the past. Why the street cars on the most prominent drive-way in Augusta. the people have to keep their gates closed, and if a car is coming they have to step In yards or go in the street, there are no sidewalks at all. and they can’t look out. for the car* almost rubs the hark off the trees in your eyes, if not the dust from the poles, and then he has had a chance with 11 cents increase in taxes, to make a show, but still he wants further time I think the other man should he given a chance, proh jshly he could use his influence to nove trees and have sidewalks on the prominent drive-way. and to reduce instead of Increase the taxes, and bring the county out of debt. tin*. Anl now you see that your* Is not perfect and that the laboring man. baa got to get together, and place hi* grievances before the public, and de mand Justice And never fret that the Good Old Southern blood is as red 'and pure it. the union man, and that iHE AUGUSTA HERALD. AWGUsTA, GA. ' Today, after more than a century under the rule of the Parliament at London, it is proposed to restore the Irish Parliament taken away in 1801, and to give Ireland home rule. The country is split In two over the prop osition. The province of Ulster at the north, declares against the propo sal, while the balance of Ireland de mands It. The House of Commons has twice passed the bill, and the third passing, when the bill becomes a law, Is near. More than 100,000 men of Ulster stand in defiance against toe proposed government. They are organized into a citizen army with some of Great Britain’s greatest soldiers as theid leaders Thej are drilling and learning to shoot straight. Munitions of war are being gathered. A fund of $5,000,000 Is being raised for the support of "the dependent relatives of the volunteers who may be wounded or killed in the fighting." The leaders of the govern, ment. are striving to avert civil war by conciliatory measures. More than 25.000 British troops are assembled today In the government barracks Id Ulster to put down any uprising. the South will treat the negro union man with the courtesy and respect that he deserves, and that union prin ciples is upbuilding and not degrading, as you seem to think. You will find more of yours in the penitentiary to day than you will of the union men, and in case this country should go to war tomorrow, you will find there will he more union men in the ranks than you will of yours. Ko it was a mighty good thing that the State Federation seen fit to de nounce you as a one-sided nut, and moreover you are wasting time trying to knock the union people; as there is farmers sons or relatives in unions, there Is merchants, bankers, and poli ticians' sons or relatives in unions, so you ought to go way over in the cor ner and sit hy a cotton stalk and study what an Ass you have made of your self. M.v references to Yours Is Your tTs. I suppose you meant your class by us? Well, I think there is mighty lots of Us and Yours In this state. Then again, we had a fair and just judge, which is Judge Speer, yours de nounced him, with a bunch of corpora tion lawyers simply because he was just and gave the poor man and farm er a chance, and was getting on the inside of your’s dirty work, and capital could not control him, no more than the union man, so their was framed, by a hunch of yours to unseat him. I hope that the union people will take his ride and have It put before the public as it should be, and no doubt he will he vindicated, as we all feel he has been treated unjustly and should de mand an open and fair trial. Now, T think, I have expressed the sentiment of myself and 150.000 peo ple, so if I have offended our ex -go v - erncrer, I am not at all uneasy about it. Yours truly, WM. L.

READ HERALD WANT ADS (COMMUNICATED) To the Voters and Taxpayers ot Richmond County For something over four years I have served the people of this coun ty as a member of the Board of County Commissioners. Sixteen months of that time I have acted as Chairman, and, In all these years, I have endeavored to do my part In the conduct of the affairs of the County upon a business basis and without political or factional bias. I know his: during my administration as Chairman, the Interests of the county have been subserved and economy has been practised and that, absolutely, there has been no politics in any action of the Board. The results are shown in the Improved physical and financial condi tion of the county. The public debt has been decreased more than $45,- 000.00 and every department kept up to standard. Continued progress and, I think I may say, marked Improvement have been made on the roads. A number of reinforced steel concrete bridges are projected for this jjear, thus bringing our highways up to the very highest standard. I will stake my business reputation that, if re-elected and retained as chairman, in two more years we will get the county entirely out of debt, give the county a progressive administration and, at the end of that time, reduce taxes from 57 cents to 40 cents a hundred. I have seen no criticism of our administration of county affairs. Then why is the opposition to my re-election so fierce and why am I be ing singled-out for an entirely unneces ary and wholly unprovoked politi cal fight. I am thoroughly familiar with the affairs of the county, know where economics can be practiced and ought to bo made, and I have a laudabl* ambition to carry out policies which I believe will inure to the benefit of ail the people; and when that is done I shall be more than willing to retire. I appeal to the taxpayers and to the thoughtful people of this county to uphold my hands and let me continue the work in which I am earnest ly engaged. Respectfully, Augusta, Ga„ April "0. G. H.
