For Railroad Commission err.

Some of the newspapers of the state
are in favor of making Mr.. Thomas c.
Crenshaw, Jr.. a member of the railroad
commission for the full term. AS show
ing his fitness for the position they speak
of his craftsmanship and his railroad
experience"
Mr. Crenshaw is undoubtedly very
shrewd politician. He is travelling
agent of the Central railroad and very
clever man, but he lacks the expert
ence in railroad matters necessary to fit
him for the position he seeks.
The law permits only one railroad man
on the commission, and he should be thor
oughly posted in the matters pertaining
to railroads, particularly railroad traffic.
Mr.. Crenshaw is candidate for the
position, and from the notices he is get
ting, it is apparent that he has good
friends on some of the newspapers.
The MORNING News has very kindly
feeling for Mr. Crenshaw. He is a whole
souled, courteous gentleman, who has
friends in all parts of the state, but he is
hardly the man the people need as rail
road commissioner. There are places of
honor and trust that he would fill admir-
ably, because he has the experience and
other qualifications, but a man to be rail
road commissioner should have special
qualifications.
However, the present condition of poll
tics in Georgia justifes Mr.. Crenshaw in
being very hopeful of success. There is
no telling what a man can get in the way
of political Office if he Just goes for it -

Why Did They Object to Troops

Debs and all the other leaders of the
great boycott and strike inaugurated by
the American Railway Union made a
great outcry because United States troops
were sent 70 Chicago to protect the mails
and interstate commerce, and they still
/ condemn the President and the courts for
/ the part they took in preventing rioters
/ from stopping the running Of mail trains
and trains carrying interstate freights.
But why do they make this complaint
Debs in his testimony the other day, said
he did his utmost to prevent a strike, and
that he IS against the use of violent
methods by strikers. He also expressed
the opinion that very few Of the strikers
took part IN the riotous demonstrations
and the destruction of property. In this
opinion he is supported by several news
paper men of Chicago.
The inference from Debs' testimony is
that he condemns the rioting that took
place during the strike, and that he has
no sympathy with those who engaged
in the destruction of property and the
blocking Of tratfic by violent means. If
this inference is correct, he should have
reioiced when troops were sent to
Chicago, and he ought to thank the Presi-
dent for sending them. He ought to up
hold the courts The courts did not
say that railroad employees should not
strike. They said that workmen have
a right to quit work whenever they
please, but that they have no right to
compel those who take the places of
strikers to give them NJ.
1t looks as if Debs and his lieutenants
are inconsistent. They declare they want
law and order, and yet they find fault
with the President and the courts for up
holding the law and maintaining order.
If, as Debs says, only roughs and rowdies
interfered with the running of trains and
engaged in destroying property what
possible objection could Debs and his ad-
visers have to the action that was taken
by the authorities to compel obedience to
the laws
The conclusion is inevitable that Debs
is not sincere There can be hardly room
for doubt that he expected TO force the
railroads to accept his terms by the very
kind of violence which he now condemns
He condemns the violence and the
destruction of property, but, as citizens,
neither he nor any of his followers at
tempted to make the rowdies and roughs
respect the law.
An explanation is needed from Mr..
DeOs. His testimony is so different
from his actions that the public will be
very apt to doubt his sincerity.

Triad If Coxav.

Our dispatches this morning state that
the popUlists Of Indiana have renowned
their ahiliaUion with Gen" J. S. COxey.
The populist leaders have an impression
that Coxey is using the populist party to
make money. He charges a stated sum
for each speech he delivers, or so much per
head for each person in his audiences.
Coxey is thrifty He lost nothing by
leading a lot Of tramps to Washington
In fact, hU made money out of the scheme.
He pretended that he was the friend of
the unemployed. and that his sole purpose
was TO benefit them. There were thou
sands Of people who sympathized with
the movement he had inaugurated,
aud many of them sent him money. 1t
is astonishing how large the proportion
of the people is that desire TO be hum
plugged.
II Is apparent now that Coxey never
had any sympathy for the ragged crowd
he led to Washington. His aim was to
gain notoriety with the view of using the
notoriety for his personal benefit.
II is alleged that there is much dissatis-
faction among the populists of this state
because the chief populist leader appears
TO be making an excellent income from
his position. The populists may come to
the conclusion after awhile that they are
being used, as the alliancemen We're, for
the benefit Of few men. Alliancemen do
not hesitate now to admit that they were
the dupes of designing men. Democrats
who have become populists may have the
same admission to make within the next
year or two. The MORNING News
warned the farmers several years ago
that those of them that were being per-
suaded to enter the alliance were being
duped, because the alliance was being run
as a political machine. 1t now warns
them that the populist party can render
them no service Those of them who
have left the Democratic party will re
greet having done so. The sooner they
get back into the ranks of the democracy
the better it will be for them.

The Morning Wind.

James Buckham, in Harper's Bazaar.
How it smells of the world made new
Leafy dells that are dank with dew;
peeming soil where the grass stand high;
Flow'rs that rift to the sun and sky
Cups Of crimson, and white, and blue,
Brimming sweet as the wind went BY
How II murmurS among the trees
Full Of peace as the hum OF bees
How it rIpples the wayside pool
Blllows the lance grass thin and cool,
Rocks the swan. at his silver ease
Sailing free, without chart or rule!
How it steals from the sunrise Iand-
Soft of touch as a mothers hand;
Soothing the fevered brow of pain,
Healing the troubled heart and brain;
Grateful as dew in desert sand,
Cooling as showers OF summer rain!
Heart OF the Father, deep and kind,
Breathing forth il the morning wind,
Shall question thy love, While stnl
kist by the breeze on the sunrise hill:
Nay In the very air find
Throb OF love like a pulse thrill

Pullman's Poor.

There are hundreds of people in Pull
man who are oin a starving condition.
There is no doubt about that,
if the governor of Illinois is to
be believed. 1t is true he is bitterly
hostile to the Pullman company,
but 1t is hardly probable that, on that ac-
count, ne would make a false statement
to the public about the condition of the
people of the town which that COM
pany owns. If there are hundreds of
people in Pullman on the verge of starva-
ton, their needs ought to be attended to
at once. Until that is done the question
whether or not they are responsible Tor
their condition should not be discussed.
While it may be true that
the Pullman company is under no greater
obligation than the general public to re-
lieve the distress of Pullman's starving
people still that company will be severely
condemned if it does not show liberality
in aiding the sufferers. Those who are
in need Of help were in the employment of
the Pullman company, and they are now
living in the houses of that company 1t
is true the company has no work for them,
and, besides, has grievance against
them. The company can afford to over
look its grievance and show that
it can be generous and charit-
able TO those who are virtually
IN its power and dependent upon it. The
company has the opportunity to recover
in some measure the good will of the
public, and it ought not to neglect it. 1t
can well afford to use some of its wealth
in feeding those of the people of the town
it owns who are starving.
