one, even as prepared with it* single

stretched it out it. full length and
locked over th* Imposing array ol

like the T<-:fa!r Entsrprt* which.

were doing when they made the nom
tuatlou Hacing the name* of all these i
local officers on the state ticket and
bv this means making It of such pro
digious length was a wise precaution
adopted some years ago to prevent
the election of an inden indent. If in
any circuit an Independent should
be nominated, the machine would
simply ioave him off the "official'
ballot and substitute for it the name
of the 'regular'' candidate, and the
latter would be elected Just as It was
done last week This L not voting
blindly, but with the full knowledge
that a man Is being voted for who
If acceptable to the powers that be.
This system works all right so long
as the powers that be are with the
people, but It will work all wrong if
ever they are not. It Is certainly not
democratic.
Where the voters illd vote blindly
was in voting for prison commission
er. Here were six names, live of
which the majority of the voter* had
never heard before. To choose be
tween them was Indeed voting blind
ly. The pres.-m incumbent being
more generally known received a
majority of the votes, for most peo
ple prefer voting for a man whose
name at least they know to voting
for Homebody whoso name they had
never li££rd before. But those who
really opposed the present Incumbent
could only mark their ballot arbitrari
ly. It was voting blindly, sure
enough
Yet how ran this matter be reme
died? When the state Is so large, the,
time and eost required to cover It In
person or through the malls Is so
gr»at a* to make this practically Im
possible. Hence there seems no other
way, under a really democratic sys
tern, to avoid the voter* having to
vote blindly for state officers In all
cases In which there is opposition
without a complete and systematic (
canvass of the entire state preceding j
the election.
GIVING CREDIT NOT DUE.
"(live unto Caesar ihe things that
arc Caesar’s" Involves a principle of
right. Every man should be given
Mh just deserts and every cause
should bo given ull the credit to de
serve*. "Give even the devil his
due."
But that doesn’t mean that anybody
should be glvun more than his due, or
any cause should be given credit that
does noj justly belong to it. To give
credit that U not due 1* as bad as to
withhold credit that Is dd« Yet zeal
oftgu leads men to commit this wroug
who would not deny full credit where
It was due.
The Atlanta Georgian Is an ardent
prohibitionist. It has always fought
for prohibition, and has done Its full
part In bringing prohibition—such as
we have —to our state. The Georgian
really believes that prohibition is a
good thing, and that It is possible—
many other good people believe the
same. And this being its faith The
Georgian tries to embrace evory op
poriunlty that presents Itself to exalt
prohibition.
So now It comes with a wonderful
slorv lo show one of th - good effects
the operation of our prohibition iaw
has had "A slgnlllcanl atory.” says
The Georgian, "comes from the cotton
fields of Georgia, a story that Is al
most a* strange as would he the state
ment that Kansas had more harvest
hands ihan It could use. For the first
time In many years so many few re
member when It was otherwise—she
report oonios that there Is plenty of
labor for the notion harvost." This
The Georgian would have its confiding
readers believe i* duo lo the opera- |
tlon of the prohibition law.
Isn't this claiming too much, ami
giving credit where no credit Is due?
It Is true that this year there has not
been the usual difficulty in Georgia
In getting the cotton crop picked
promptly But wn* not this due to
other cruises HUd not to prohtblllonT
The cotton crop Is very sho»t Most
farmer* will not gather more than
half a crop, and there Is no douht
that throughout the state the yield
will be at -oast one third off Now It
is but a simple mathematical problem
to figure out that an equal number of
hands can do two-thirds the regular
work In less time than they can do
the regular task Wifti hands enough
to pick 1.360,000 bales promptly, If
then chance to he 2,000.000 bales to
pick and no more hands to do It, the
job will be a longer one and there
will he a sAtrcity of hands during the
picking season.
This It exactly the situation. With
only a half crop and the same nun
her ct hands It can be easily under
stood why there should not have bean
ih«- usual lack of cotton pickers. In
addition to this the cotton picking
forces were Increased by the stoppage
cf many lumber mills and other In
dustrial plant*, and In addition to all
this the present season has been most
favorable for picking Since cotton
h.-gan to open there has been prac
tically no ratn. whereas some years
there is much rain to Interfere with
the work of picking
There has been plenty of labor for
the cotton harvest this year because
the harvest was small, the force of
laborer* large, and the weather cond!
tlons phenomenally favorable Pro
hibition had nothing to do with It.
How could It? Nearly all the cot
ton producing counties were dry be

THE AUGUSTA HERAXD
As with all true fighters, Mr. Bry
an's fighting spirit waxes warmer as
the combat deepens, and he strikes
hf-rder and surer. No foul blows, no
* wild attacks mar his war are, but with
steady nerves and clear head he gath
e-rsc his strength for the fray and
j drives straight at the h -art of the
j enemy’s defense, it is leas than four
weeks to the national election, and
j the campaign has reached the stage
i that shows a man a fighter, a quitter
j"r a dodger. Even Mr. Taft has
warmed up a bit, but his mettle Is
| s-hown In the loss of temper and the
i term of abUße, rather tlu-n in the
; straight blow from the shoulder and
square attack on the enemy's lines.
The fight Is on, and is lost or won
jin the few weeks now remaining. Mr.
i Bryan In his lowa speeches Is seen
I at. Ills fighting best, battling for de
: mocracy with all the brilliancy, force
and dkill of his ripened prime. As
usual, he says three words for the
democra'ic party to one for himself,
but he may be pardoned for the fol
lowing expression regarding his tri
umph over slander and contempt; ,
I present myself as an example of
one who has outlived the venomous
attacks of his opponents. You heard

distilleries were situated there. The
exigencies of gravity compelled the
river Danube to flow through the
country, which probably accounted
for its well-known tendenoy to feel
blue. On the north Bulgaria was
bounded by soldiers, on the south
by more soldiers, and on the east and
west by other soldiers. The princi
pal occupation of the population was
calling one another names. Other in
dustries were enrolling in the volun

The history of Bulgaria is a long
tale of oppression, but the proud peo

outlived the venomous attacks of the

at St. Louis four years ago, he has

lif England could get Cyprus and

' all agree that England had prompted

(that It was evident Germany, England,

,to grab something. Russian papers
accused the other powers, while the
'press of Vienna expressed the utmost
surprise at the developments, and
hinted at English intrigue.
All this information made the sit

The trip to the Sandjak of Novi

movement of the train was at times
clearly perceptible. On one occasion
we passed the name of a station in
less (ban ten minutes. At Tjttjak we
heard that an agent of the Monopoly
Slickski (Rouuielian branch of the
Standard Oil company) had been
executed for falling to contribute to
the campaign fund, but we dismiss
ed the stor. as a baseless rumor.
Nearing the Standjak the din of
battle reached our ears. A courier
hurring to Vienna told us that the
Bulgarian army was er.gag. d with
