Going south in Search of Sin.
From the Baltimore Sun (Dem.)


The Savannah News complains of an
editorial in the New York Evening Post,
which, it declares, was published with
the deliberate Intention of injuring the
south. The News had Published an item
giving the number OF homicides in Geor-
gla during the holidays. Commenting
on this the Post said: 'It Will be of
little use to talk about the Sunny South
so long as the sun shines on so many
murders. The average man would rath-
er. live in a cold climate than be shot in
a warm climate"
The News goes on to declare that such
comments as this in the Post and other
northern papers are not fair and are pub
lished with the intention of keeping peo-
pie away from the south. As the News
justly declares, life is equally safe in
Georgia as in New York. and the num-
Der OF homicides in New York city prob
ably far exceeds the number IN the whole
state of Georgia. Those which were
cataloguod by the News took place i'm
barroom brawls, and people who keep
away from such places are in no dam
ger.
To certain extent the complaint Of the
News IS just Some northern papers are
in the habit of making a great display
OF crime in the south, while ignoring
that which takes place at their own doors
some years ago the Clnclnnau papers
were making a Feature" OF crime IN
Kentucky. A Louisville paper retaliated
by cataloguing each day the crimes in
Ohio. The showing was frightful, and It
soon appeared that, judged from this
standpoint, Kentucky was FAR more law
abiding and orderly than Ohio. Now
suppose the crimes of New York. as daily
recorded by the "new Journalism" were
grouped in a single volume day by day
and sent broadcast over the country
with appropriate comments on the moral
iniquity of the people Of that wicked city,
what a grim joke it would be on the
metropolitan editorl

A more horrible tale than that from
Bombay with regard to the ravages of
the plague, printed in our dispatches
yesterday, would be hard to imagine.
The city has become literally a Tester
ing hole of death. People are stricken
with the plague. and die in two or three
hours, after the most fearful agony. All
who can are leaving the place, many of
them TO die of starvation. There are
some who must remain. The air they
breathe is poisoned with the stencil of
unburied dead placed in the open air by
the Parsees. whose religion teaches them
to feed their dead to the vultures. 1t is
not surprising that panic prevails in un-
happy Bombay, one of the flthiest cities
of the Orient. After a while the plague
will run its course. And then Bombay
will begin to recuperate. But will san
itary conditions in that city be made bet
ter than heretofore? 1t may be doubted
that they will. Bombay has had devas-
tating plaques before, but has never
learned the lesson that cleanliness is a
preventive OF disease. Her people are
born and bred in filth and squalor. and
until they change their religion and mode
of life-which they will probably never
do-there will continue to be great cpl
denies at intervals.

The Columbia State says the South Car
DINA legislature should not neglect to
pass an antitrust Jaw. Georgia has an
antitrust law whichis said TO be effective,
and which may meet our needs" says our
contemporary. The faith with which the
effectiveness of the Georgia antitrust law
is assumed is beautiful. SO far as the in
formation goes, the law has not done one
penny's worth of hurt to any trust, and il
may be doubted that it Will do so. 1t has
however opened the door for a larger sale
merchants Of the state. It may be peril
nent to ask, by the way, how can South
Carolina consistently adopt an antitrust
law, when she herself operates a gigantic
whisky trust?

A Great OutpOuring of Gul.
From the Washington Post Qnd.)

The New York Journal modestly says
in a large, scare headline-that the
greatest statesmen in Europe cable mes
sages to the greatest American newspa-
per-" The New York World, with equal
bashfulness, declares that the enthu-
siastic response TO yesterdays call for
grand international official and popular
commemoration of the treaty of arbitra-
ton shows that the World has again
proved it's ability as a 'revealer of pub
lie opinion. " Such is the palpitation
raised in these two maudlin bosoms over
the amusing little comedy just presented
by the Olney-Pauncefote combination.

The Cincinnati Enquirer pays a warm
tribute TO the honesty of American poll
ticians. basing the complimentary remarks
upon the fact that in the recent electoral
colleges not single elector cast ballot
for any other candidate than the one chos-
en- by his party, Notwithstanding it is
within the legal right of the elector to vote
for whomsoever he may please. 1t is diff
ficult to see in this matter any ground for
especial credit TO politicians though no
body questions that a great many of them
arc patriotic. The fact Is, there was not
an elector chosen In November who would
have dared to cast his ballot for any other
than his party nominee. Had one OF them
done So he would have been regarded by
tho press and the public as a traitor and
would have been ostiacised politically. IL
not socially also. A man deserves no cred
It for doing what he IL compelled to do.

afiluent and prosperous. For these re
suits the thanks be to eastern vampires
