J. E. OARDNBR,
• Editor and Proprietor.
Entered tt the Poet Office at Atheni,
Ga., ae Second-Claae matter.
Publlihed eeerr Friday at the office of
The Courier, on Broad Street.
The Macon Telegraph thinks
because Russia is now engaged in
war with Japan that it ie the
wroug time for internal itrife,
and because the people who are
and have been, serfs to the will of
the Emperor should not at this
time ask him for aid or redress,
and because they have been co
erced into paying homage to him
as though he was a diety that
they therefore are not capable of
•elf-governm'eiit, that before they
should strike that they should see
the flag of their country sailing
-gloriously as victor over Japan.
This is all right for a free, well-
fed editor with no cares or troubles
around him to prate upon, but he
should for the time being place
himself in the place of those peo
ple, and make for the once him
self as Father Gopen, in front of
a sufl'ering serf—down, without
arms, with women and children
in his wake going to the palace of
their '.sovereign to ask of him a
favor, aB if in prayer, and instead
of being met m a manly way and
their grievances carefully taken
iifto account, or if he was afraid
of personal harm, send one of hit
officers to meet the subje:ts of bis
realm to hear their petition, were
met with soldiers who relentlessly
spilt innocent blood of women and
children upon the virgin su-'w in
front of the winter palace of the
autocrat, we think quite a differ
ent editorial would have appeared
from his pen.
Suppose Coxey with his armv of
workmen, had been met on this
side of the Potomac, when he
went to Washington seeking a
bread-winning solution, by regi
ments of soldiers and hundreds of
them shot down, what do jott
suppose would in*?-. been the.
suit. V
We agree with the Telegraph
that for the Czar’s sake now is a
bad time for internal outbreaks
while he has his bandsfui of Ja
pan, but in the name of all that is
potent and good when could the
people have had a better time, or
when could the Czar have bad
more opportune moment in which
to have granted the requests of
his people and thereby have ce
mented them to his work now in
hand. But an opportunity, it is
said, comes to every mau during
his life, and we think that this
was the opportunity of the Czar of
all the Russia’s and he failed to
grasp it—but instead gave his
people a slap in the face, the
wound of which will never be
healed.
The blood that lies between the
palace and the people—the blood
of the innocent—will cry from
the ground, and Russia, like all
other countries, which have pre
sented the chosen people of God,
and shoots down the innocent
when they cry for help—is about
to see its days numbered, and we
verily believe that it is the hand
of God that is helping a poor, de
fenseless people against tyranny
and wrong.
Judge Andrew J. Cobb, of the
Supreme Court of Georgia, made
a most interesting talk at the
Y. M. C. A. last Sunday, his text
being “By the sweat of thy face
ahalt thou eat bread.” He was
earnest in bis remarks, which
were well received by the large
number of men present. He spoke
of gambling in its various phases,
the poker-player, the orap-shoot-
er and the other low-down kinds
whioh men and boys indulge in—
they being the indiotable kind,
and betting on horse-racing and
elections as the unindiotable kind,
bnt that the low-down kind was
not doing all the damage. It was
the worst in the sight of the law,
bnt the breaking of the least com
mandment was as great ae -if yon
had broken them all. While the
gambler'ehonld be punished, yet
at the same time point him to
that fountain from which all
healing flows. The Judge is an
honored citizen of Athens,.and
onr peop'e knowing him to be
above reproaoh, gladly bear his
wise admonitions, and we are sure
that good will result from this
most interesting and timely .talk.
Gambling is a bad thing for
any community. The profession
al gambler, who never works, but
who is continually looking for
some one to get drunk enough to
fleece, usually resorts to most
any method to get what cash he
has on hand, and oftentimes re
sorts to murder to accomplish bis
ends; the better on elections eith
er loses the money that ought to
go to his wife and children or
wius that of some uufortunate
who is uot able to lose; in either
case somebody gets that whioh
.uuder the law of God does not
belong to them: if we mistake
uot shooting craps is a game that
is only played by little negroes
and low-down people, except pos-
sidly when it was allowed to run
openly at our fair a couple of
years ago, much to the disgust of
our people. There is something
fuuny about this game that makes
you laugh, and that is that the
stakes usually are uot over five
or ten cents, yet officers have been
known to leave the big game, and
scour the woods along the river
banks, scare up the covey, and
the picaniuuys brought in by the
back of tbe neck, carried before
the mayor, sent to the rock pile
and the daily papers would con
tain the announcement that by
heroic efforts on the part of the
officers a desperate gang of crop-
shooters were caught and are now
carrying water to the hands who
are macadamizing the streets.
This same thing is happening in
other cities It is right to arrest
them, but it is wrong to overlook
the bigger game. It is claimed
that municipalities and counties,
too, for that matter, do not mo
lest these characters, because tbe
parties iu power are under obli-.
We *\\l
oarSi^l/Whfftcourse Athens and
Clarke oounty will take in regard
to this matter this year.
In regard to the society five-
hand each social gambling, there
must be very little of that indulg-
ed in now, or at least it does not
appear so prominently in the pa
pers as heretofore. We hope it is
ceasing, for it it at such places
that the young get the fascination
that may some day cause them
briny tears.
