SLIGHT GROUND FOR SATIsFAC-
TION,

One of the London papers, the Ex-
press, in commenting on that part of
President Roosevelt's message which
treats of trusts, finds some satisfac-
ton in the thought that as the devel-
opment of trusts has not gone as far
in England as it has in this country
England will have the benefit of the
experience of the United States in leg
islating in respect to them.
AS a matter of fact the trusts of this
country are a subject of almost as
much interest to Englishmen as they
are to the people of this country, for
the reason that it is our trusts that
are undertaking England in the mar
kets of the world-are in fact, under
selling the English manufacturers in
the markets of England.
We have no doubt that 1t would be
extremely gratifying to England IL
the people of this country should find
1t to their interests to insist upon the
destruction of trusts. With the great
aggregations Of capital which are now
so potent in our manufacturing affairs
out of the way, English manufacture
ers would again feel hopeful OF re-
gaining the position they once held
In the worlds markets.
While the English papers generally
express satisfaction with President
Roosevelts message, they would. in
all probability, be much better ss It's
fed II he had assumed harsher tone
in dealing with trusts.

THE PEOPLE WANT THE BILL.

The Governor has not yet approved
Mr.. Wrights dispensary bill, and it
begins to look as If the few hundred
persons who have taken it upon them
selves to advise him as to his proper
course in the matter are to have more
influence than the TWO and quarter
millions Of Georgians who have not
advised him. The opponents of the
dispensary bill are. first the liquor
dealers who see in it possible dam
ger, inasmuch as it will make only
one buyer in a county where there are
now quite a number of buyers, and will
therefore cut off the immense blind
tiger trade in prohibition counties, and
second, the radical prohibitionists who
would prefer having a prohibition law
on the statute books to having real
temperance reform in the state. The
fears of the liquor dealers, that the
dispensary bill would diminish their
sales, are no doubt we'll founded. I'm
der the dispensary law the blind tigers
would be chased out of business. The
concrete fact with respect to the mat
ter is that absolute prohibition can
not be enforced, and ii is only en-
ploying common sense to make the
best of a bad business. Very much of
the prohibition movement has for its
purpose the keeping of "the other fell
low from drinking. In many of the
prohibition counties liquor is just as
plentiful as the most ardent topper
could wish. 1t is not sold except in
blind tigers, therefore the county re-
ceives no revenue from the sale. The
dispensary law simply recognizes that
fact and provides means for con-
trolling the traffic, which cannot be
stopped and giving the people the
right to designate the manner of that
control. If the people please, under
the dispensary law they can keep at
-hcme and turn to the public good much
of the money that is now sent abroad
for liquors.

CURRENT COMMENT.

The Presidents message has met
with a. very friendly reception on the
part of Democratic and Independent
newspapers. Following are some char
acteristic comments:
The Augusta (Ga.) Chronicle CDem.)
says: 1T is a business document,
reviewing with considerable fulness
the various phases of our government
which should interest good citizens"
The Norfolk (Va.) Landmark CDem.)
says: Though too long for the gen.
eral public to read in full, the mes
sage is a first-rate one. 1t is a highly
creditable state paper
The New York World (Dem.) says:
"The general impression produced by
President Roosevelt's first message is
distinctly favorable to it's moderation,
its high tone and its characteristic
courage and candor."
The Atlanta Constitution (Dem. }
says: while it is an able statement
of the condition of governmental af-
fairs, it lacks in some respects that
vigor which was naturally expected
from a man of Mr.. Roosevelt's strong
personality"
The New York Times (Dem) says:
President Roosevelt has not only com
municated to Congress and the coun-
try much information about public
business, but he has done it with a
directness and vigor of expression that
make the reading of his message not
labor but a pleasure"
The Washington Post Qnd.l says:
THE pledge Of fidelity to the McKin-
ley policy is faithfully kept, but is not
a hamper to the originality of McKin-
ley's successor. 1t is a paper that will
be read with more than the usual in
terest in such documents. And if it
is not notable for boldness of sugges-
ton on all questions, it is commenda-
bic for courageous frankness on
grounds over which the mere politi-
clan is apt TO skip lightly"
The Columbia Is. c. state (Dem. }
says: LAS the handiwork of de-
voice Of spectacular strenuosity. this.
the first message of President Theo-
dore Roosevelt, is quite creditable to
his conservatism and sane judgment.
He has retrained from positive decia-
rations on issues which are likely to
arouse intense interest and even bitter
debate i'm the near future, but on those
subjects with which he is intimately
acquainted by reason of his own expe-
rience he has not hesitated 10 declare
himself"
The Baltimore Sun (Dem.) says:
''rhe President is a stanch protection
list; he does not believe that the tariff
is the mother of the trusts. as the
head of the Sugar Trust said when
testifyinE before the Industrial Com
mission. lie is an ardent champion
Of the Monroe Doctrine and maintains
that an efficient and powerful navy Is
necessary TO assert and defend this
doctrine in the future. He Is In hearty
accord with the colonial policy inau-
gurated by his predecessor. In fine,
Mr.. Roosevelt is a thorough going Re
publican on an vital principles. and
his message viii give offenso TO no
element in his party. except possibly
DO those who oppose any reduction OF

THE TWO CANAL ROUTES.

The mind of the American people
is made up in favor of an isthmian
canal, but it is probable that there is
a long fight ahead before there will
be legislation authorizing the con-
struction of one. The Isthmian Canal
Commission appears to have done its
duty faithfully. 1t has presented about
all the information that is obtainable
respecting both the Nicaragua and
the Panama routes, and it decides in
favor of the former. One member
of the commission thinks the Panama
adopted, and he has filed a report in
favor of that route.
The President has recommended
prompt isthmian canal legislation, and
the majority of Congress is no doubt
in favor of authorizing the building of
a canal at once, but those who have
been fighting the canal project SO long
the rans-continental railroads-are
not going to give up the fight as long
as there is a chance for victory. 1t
would not be surprising if they should
make a harder fight against a. canal
now than ever before. The minority
report offers them an opportunity TO
obstruct canal legislation without
showing their hand. The effort will
be no doubt to bring about long dis
cussion of the relative merits of the
two routes. Besides, the owners of the
Panama canal are particularly anxious
to sell their property, and will use all
their influence to have their offer of 1t
favorably considered.
There is no doubt, however, that a
canal will be built. The only ques-
ton now is when the building of 1t
will be begun. And there is but lit
tie if any doubt that the Nicaragua
route will be chosen. And when the
bill providing for the construction of
the Nicaragua canal has become a
law, work on the Panama canal will
cease. That great work, on. which
hundreds of millions of dollars have
been expended. will be abandoned for
a time at least. Money to complete
it cannot be obtained. Sometime dur
ing this century work on it may be
resumed, but, if so, it will be late in
| the century.

A Deduction of whistIer's.

The best Jimmy" Whistler story
that 1 have heard since Mr.. Chase's
talk on the famous painter last April
was told here at a dinner on Wednes-
day last says the Hartford Courant.
Mr.. Whistler was a guest at a. dinner
given by John Sargent. the well-known
portrait painter. The little artist dined
royalty and was very merry. After
dinner he asked Sargent if he might be
excused while he wrote an important
note that had slipped his mind.
Certainly, certainly replied Sar-
gent; you will find ink and writing
materials in the small room at the
head of the stairs-help yourself"
Thanks" said Whistler, and disap-
peared. Presently the other guests were
startled by hearing a series of bumps,
ending in a heavy thud at the foot of
the stairs. Whistler had tripped, lost
his balance, and fallen in a heap. Sar-
gent rushed out. picked him up, and
anxiously asked if he was hurt.
Hurt" said Whistler, rubbing his
head; well, I'm not dead, if that's
what you mean; but tell me, who
built those stairs?" Sargent mentioned
the name of a builder unknown to
Whistler or to fame.
He did, did he?" said Whistler.
"The d teetotaler!"

CAN DE NO CHANGE IN THE PLAT
FORM

II did not need a deliverance from
National Committeeman Mack of New
York to settle the question that there
can be no change in the Democratic
national platform until the meeting of
the national convention of the party
in 1904. What he says about
the matter. however, is timely. 1t may
have the effect of quoting some OF
those who seem to have the idea that
the doctrines of the Democratic party
can be changed at any time, and by
persons who have no authority to
make changes.
All this talk about changing the plat
form grew out of the effort that was
made in the caucus of the Democratic
members of the House of Representa-
tives to adopt new set of principles
for the Democracy. The resolutions
containing these new principles were
introduced by Representative McClel-
Ian and Fitzgerald of New York and.
it is said, were written by Mr.. Shepard
of that state. Mr.. Shepard, it will be
recalled, was the Democratic candi-
date for Mayor of New York in the re-
cent municipal election.
No doubt Mr.. Shepard is convinced
that there will have to be changes
made in the Democratic platform be-
fore there will be much hope of win
ming a presidential election. Perhaps
he had in mind the congressional cleo
items which take place next year when
he drew up his resolutions. He made a
mistake, however, in undertaking to
bring about an understanding in the
party that certain things which were
prominent in the last national cam
paign would not have the support of
party in future. He might have known
that there were Democrats in the West
and South who would never consent to
the changes he proposed. unless made
by a national convention.
Doubtless there will continue to be
something said about the movement to
change the platform all through the
present session Of Congress. but 1t
ought to be pretty well understood now
that neither the Democrats of New
York nor those OF any other one sec
ton OF the country can change the
platform. Changes in 1t can be made
only by representatives from all Sec
tions OF the country chosen for that
purpose.
