The Senate finance committee has acted
wisely in refusing to grant a hear
ing to any one of the interests
affected by the Wilson bill. As
Senator Voorhees,, the chairman Of
that committee, says, what the country
needs, in respect TO the Wilson bill, is ac-
ton, and the democrats of the Senate
committee intend to have the bill acted
upon as speedily as possible
The democrats cannot be Justly criti-
cized for the decision they have reached.
If the committee should grant a hearing
it would not be possible to report the bill
TO the Senate before next fall There are
hundreds, and perhaps thousands, of peo-
pie who want to be heard, and
the speeches they would make
time. The republicans are, of
course, in favor of hearings. They are
anxious that the bill shall be delayed as
much as possible, because delay is detri-
mental to all the industries, and in pro-
portion as those dependent upon the in
dustries suffer the chances that republi-
cans will carry the next House will in
crease.
The bill ought to be reported to the
Senate by March l. There is no limit to
the debate in the Senate, and there will
beropportunity then for each interest af-
fected by the bill to have a hearing. The
sena tors will speak for their constituents,
and IN that way all the senators will be
made acquainted with what the protected
interests would like them to know. Hear
ings before the finance committee would
have no influence upon senators
outside of those of the committee,
and the arguments would have to be re-
peated in the Senate before they would
have any effect in that body. 1t is, there
fore, better, from every point of view, to
close the committee room to all except
the members of the committee
Confidence is strong that the Wilson
bill will be passed. Democratic senator's,
who have been and are still talking
against it, will vote in favor of it when
the time for voting begins. They cannot
afford to let it be defeated. Its defeat
would endanger the success of the Demo
cratic party in both state and national
elections. The Wilson bill must be
passed, and passed promptly.

The Appointment of Registrars.

Under the new registration law for this
county registrars TO register the voters
must be appointed this month. The law
creates a commission that is authorized
TO appoint the registrars. The commission
is composed Of Judge Falligant, of the SUI
perior court, Judge MacDonel of the
city court, and Judge Ferrill, the ordi-
nary. This commission is TO appoint two
registrars, and the law provides that
they shall be upright citizens of the county
and shall not both be from among the
adherents of any one faction, party or
contending political interest" The COM
mission is directed to give, if possible
with fairness, "all conflicting political in
terests in the county representation
among the registrars"
It is evident that if the commission
should follow the direction of the law
with absolute fidelity it would have to
appoint one republican registrar and one
democratic registrar. And the pOpulists
might make claim for registrar, be-
cause there are some populists in the
county. The law upon this point, how
ever, is not mandatory. The point upon
which it is mandatory is that which saws
that both registrars shall not be appointed
from among the "adherents of any one
faction. party or cOntending political in
terest." 1t is noticeable that the com
mission, if it so desires, can APP
point as registrars men who have
no connection with any faction or contend
ing political interest 1t can appoint dem
ocrats whom they know to be upright,
capable and thoroughly trustworthy, but
who are not identified with any political
faction. Such men can be easily found and
they are the kind of men who should be
appointed registrars.
No doubt a number of men will be sug-
Rested to the commission, some because
they need employment, and others be-
cause politicians desire them to have
charge of the registration books for pur-
poses of their own.
1t is question whether the commits
sion would give satisfaction if it should
undertake to give political factions repre-
sentation. Each faction would most
likely protest against the representative
of the other and the chances are that the
registrars, thus chosen would not work
together tremendously. They might be
unreasonably suspicious of each other,
and suspicion would lead to trouble of
some sort or other.
The commission is to look out for the
interests of the people. 1t has nothing to
do with faction, nor with faction fights
The question then is, What do the people
wantl Clearly an honest registration
How is such registration to be secured2
BY appointing men as registrars who
represent Tactic MS, or those who are in,
different to factions, but who are honest,
uprieht and capable menu Clearly by
putting the re istration in the hands of
men who have no connection with either
faction, but who will discharge their
duties faithfully and intelligently. The
commission can easily find men who
answer this description, and it will satisfy
the public if it selects registrars from
among them.

1t must be that there is a Harrison in

last day or two the public have been

Thu Hill Case

The fact that the Hill case is disposed
of must be source of satisfaction to the
people of Atlanta, as it is to the people of
other portions of the state. The sugges-
tions and insinuations that cropped out
before and during the trial created the
impression that there was a big scandal
hidden away from the public view, and
that the defendant would invite an in
spection of it if he were prosecuted for
the crimes for which he was indicted
The case has been tried and the de-
PENDANT has been sentenced to five years
in the penitentiary. No such scandal as
was threatened was disclosed, and there
was nothing in the evidence that justifies
the conclusion that there is any
scandal other than that which
was made known at the
trial. 1t is safe to say that the defendant
was the only offender, and jury found
him guilty and merciful court has
passed sentence upon him.
That the defendant deserves no sym
pathy is shown by the fact that his attor-
neys declared that he did not deal hon
estly with them, and they refused to have
anything more to do with his case.
The whole matter ought now to be
dropped, in order that it may be forgotten
as quickly as possible. There is no good
reason to doubt that the public knows all
there is to be known about it, and conJec-
lures and surmises can have no other eff
feet than to injure the innocent Unless
twelve reputable citizens were greatly de-
ceived, and there is no ground for think
ing they were, the result Of the trial was
just what it should have been.

The esteemed Rome (Ga) Tribune de-
votes space in its editorial columns to
heralding the advent into politics of a
new Characteristic "eggbuster." Just
what the name implies is not known, but
it is odorously suggestive. We are told
that the new character occupies a place
quite distinct from that of the carpet
Dagger, bushwhacker, filibuster, bull
do-er, mugwump or snollygoster, and that
he never fails TO make his presence and
active operations known. In the absence
of an explanation, it may be surmised that
the discoverer of the species and the
classitier of the "eggbusters" includes the
Hon Charles A. Boutelle and Col. John

William L. Wilson's faith in the ulti
mate and complete success of the tariff
bill that bears his name is as firm as his
conviction that it is right is strong He
is sure the bill will pass the Senate, "be-
cause the Democratic party is committed
TO the passage of a tariff bill and public
sentiment demands it, and if the party
does not fulfill its pledges it had as well
make It's bow and retire" That was
what Mr.. Wilson told a New York re-
porter day or two ago. The bill will
pass because it must; therefore Mr.. Will
son rests in contentment.

Jim Corbett is fright in it." to make
use of an expression that is claimed to
come from Shakespeare. Since he beat
Mitchell in Florida and returned north
he has been feted, wined and dined two
or three dozen times. Incidentally he
has pocketed gate money at most of the
entertainments. Possibly the most no.
table function yet held in Corbett's honor
was that of the Harvard students, on
last Thursday night He was entertained
at the university by some thirty of the
leading class men. A banquet was the
central feature of the evening, after
which speeches eulogistic of fighters and
fighting were made and songs of praise to
tistic gladiators were sung. The distin-
guished guest was then piloted through a
tour of Harvard's classic shades which
he gave his approval and commentator.
This is probably the first time a champion
prize fighter was ever Toasted and lionized
by university.

The week ends with firm feeling

or more that operators appear uncer-
tain just what stand to take. They
are fully aware OF the fact that out OF
