THE GRIEFIN TRAGEDY.

The deplorable tragedy at Griffin
on Monday suggests the question
whether the press, the pulpit and the
courts in this state are doing all they
can to prevent crimes of violence.
Scarcely a day passes without a trag-
edy in some one of the counties, and
nearly every one of them is due to the
pistol carrying habit. Knives and pis-
tolls are not carried for the purpose
of self-defense so much as to resent
real or faneied insults. The great
ma jority of those who carry concealed
weapons mean to intimidate those with
whom they get into violent controver-
sizes and to take life If what they con-
slider insults are offered them. A year
or two ago the newspapers were say
ing a great deal against the free use
of the pistol and the carrying of dead
ly weapons, the ministers were preach
ing against the pistol carrying habit
and the courts were imposing heavy
fines upon those caught breaking the
law in the matter of deadly weapons
There was a steadily growing senti-
nlent against the carrying of concealed
weapons. It is to be regretted that
the crusade against this great evil
was not continued until it was prac-
tically removed.
And it would help to put a stop to
crimes of violence if there were less
mercy shown by juries and the pardon
ing power There is a sentiment abroad
that a. man who kills another in re-
senting an insult, even though he pro-
voked the insult, is in very little dam
ger of being severely punished. If
he is sentenced to prison his chances
for being pardOned are good. All over
the state the jails contain men who
are held for murder or assault with
the intention to commit murder. We
do not undertake to say how many
there are in Jail in this county but
there are several.
The blacks are just as free with
deadly weapons as the whites. On
Monday, mean Waycross, a negro at
himself shot to death. We call at
tention to these two tragedies-the one
at Griffin and the one at Waycross-
which occurred on Monday simply to
impress upon the public mind the me-
cessity for a stricter enforcement of
the law against those guilty of crimes
of violence, and to point out the good
work the press and pulpit can do in
creating a public sentiment against
the most fruitful cause of these crimes,
namely, the practice of carrying con-
cealed weapons. If it were not for
the hardness of the pistol or the
knife the thought of murder would not
be in the minds of a great majority
of those who engage in personal diff
culties. And if juries could be made
to look at these offenses against the
person with more seriousness the con-
victions would become so frequent that
there would not be such readiness to
use the pistol and the knife.

In announcing his determination not
to make the race for the governorship
in this campaign. owing to the early
date of the primary election. the Hon.
James NJ. Smith of Oglethorpe, accord
ing to our Athens correspondent, "cites
1t as the aim of his life to be the chief
executive of Georgia" That is GER
tainly a laudable ambition, the achiev-
ment of which would be a crown to
any mans career. There is no more
honorable office within the gift of the
American people than the governorship
of the Empire State of the South. And
in his career Mr.. Smith has demon
strated that he is a man large enough
to fill the executive chair with credit
alike to the state and himself. Though
Mr.. Smith Will not enter the current
race, there will be other races TO fol-
low, and in one or more of them there
is no doubt that he win be heard from
in no uncertain manner He is rela-
lively a young man yet. being just
entered into the fifties. with vigorous
mind in a vigorous and healthy body.
Two or four years, therefore, will
not handicap him when he does make
up his mind to enter the lists. Well
prepared now, he will be all the better
prepared then to give Georgia a first
class administration.

stake In Crap Game.

A story is told of George, sable
waiter. who used to wait on Gov. Hogg
in Beaumont, Tex, when he went to a
certain restaurant, says the New York
Tribune. Each day at dinner George
would receive from the Governor his
tip, 81. George revealed in wealth. He
was the envied of all the other walters.
He was the happy possessor of a good
thing" One day when the Governor
entered the dining room a strange dar-
key stood behind his chair. Where's
George?' asked the Governor, brus-
quely. The new waiter bowed low.
Use youah waitah now, sah,'' he said
softly. But where's George?" again
asked the Governor. Again his new
retainer assured him. Use youah wal
tab now" The Governor looked up
from his paper sharply. He was some
what mystified, and with increasing
emphasis demanded to know where
George was, anyhow. well, you see,
sah," began the newcomer with some
hesitation, "Gawge and ! was out las
night playing craps. Gawge went
broke; i won his pile. Then"-here his
voice dropped lower and his manner
confidential-"he put you up agin So

THE CAUSE OF JONES DEFEAT.

In the West many of the Republican
papers continue to insist that the rea-
son Senator Jones of Arkansas was de-
feated for reelection was that he fa-
vored the free coinage of silver In
many localities this impression will
continue no doubt to be entertained,
Notwithstanding all that can be said to
correct it,
The Morning News, a day or two af-
ter the election, pointed out that the
cause of the Senator's defeat were per-
sonal to himself. The man who ran
against him is just as much of sill
verite as he is, and is as earnest a
Bryan man.
The impression got abroad in Arkan-
sas that Senator Jones, although bit
ter opponent apparently of trusts, was
stockholder-a big one-in trust,
namely, the round bale cotton COM
pany. At least it was charged during
the campaign that the round bale cot
ton company was a trust, and the peo-
pie quite generally believed it, 1t was
also charged that the Senator has not
dealt frankly with some of his promi-
nent constituents, that he had. in fact,
played a double part. These and other
people to turn away from him. The
silver question had very little to dc
with it,

President Roosevelt's reception in
Charleston was as warm and cordial
as could have been desired. The dis
tinguished visitor probably lost moth
ing by the enforced deferring of his
trip, owing to the illness of his son
some weeks ago, since the wait only
served to increase interest in the Wis
itation. The President yesterday
found an enthusiastic and intensely
loyal American assemblage to greet
him and honor him for the position
he holds. He found the exposition in
excellent shape and smooth running
order. He found the air balmy and
the flowers bright and fresh. 1t was
no doubt an enjoyable day, not only
for the chief executive but his hosts
and the many visitors also.

There are interesting times ahead for
the city of New York, if the police
and the saloonkeepers persist in their
present determination. The saloon
keepers have agreed to assist the po-
lice in forcing strict observance of
the excise laws. but at the same time
they are going to insist upon an
equally strict enforcement of all the
other Sunday laws on the statute
books. 1t appears that there are a
number of these Sunday laws, blue
laws" brought over from other days,
that have been permitted to drop into
disuse by tacit consent. These are to
be revived and enforced District At
torney Jerome says he will prosecute
offenders against any of the laws, no
matter which ones. if complaint is
made to him with evidence to sustain
it. The outcome of such crusade will
be a hardship to a number of people
in the great and crowded city, and
as usual. the ones who will suffer
most will be the poor. The poor al
ways get caught between the upper
and neither millstones when there is a
movement of the kind afoot.

The AisIes Of the Wood.

He is not wise who would shun the
joy
OF the life that is called alone
To roam the wood, with the heart of
Spring
Soft beating against his own.
To watch the clouds as they form or
fade,
BY the breath of the wind tide kiss
ed,
On the ocean blue of boundless sky,
With its fllmy veil of mist.
To hear the MINISTRIES of high degree
Outpour from their eager throats
in lyric rapture, divine and deep,
Their current of golden notes.
To touch the blades of the keen, soft
grass,
And flowers that star the sod
Children of bloom who can only speak
In the vernal tongues of God. d. :.
He is not wise who would shirk his
part
In the Master Gardeners plan,
And shun the. aisles of the ardent
wood
To follow the WAYS of man.

A SECRET SERVICE.

The War Department refuses to make
public the name of the army officer
chosen to investigate the charges made
by Gen. Pearson. the Boer agent at
New Orleans, that the British were
not only shipping horses and mules
from a camp which they have estab-
Used at Chalmette, a place few miles
below New Orleans. but that they were
enIisting men for service in their army
in South Africa. 1t is but right that
the name of the officer should be kept
secret. If the officer were known it is
probable that the object of his mis-
sion would be defeated.
1t is pretty we'll known what the
British are doing at Chalmette. The
government has undoubtedly kept it.
self informed of what was going on
there. If the neutrality laws were being
violated the fact would have been made
public long ago. 1t is true that the
Boer agent, in his complaint, asserted
that our neutrality laws were being
violated in that men were being enlist
ed in the British Army for service in
South Africa, but he submitted no facts
that bore out his assertion. He did of
course submit the statement of a man
shipped on one of the transports car
rying mules to South Africa, and that
at Durham. South Africa, he was not
permitted to go ashore unless he would
enlist. If he had enlisted he would not
have violated our neutrality laws. AS
far as buying mules is concerned there
is no doubt that the British or the
Beers have a right to buy them from
this country. In making such pur-
chases there is no violation of the laws
of neutrality.
The opinion which the Attorney Cen
eral gave the President on the charges
presented by Gen. Pearson at New
Orleans was not very satisfactory to
the general public. 1t was very nom
ccmmittal The truth is the Attorney
General did not have the facts on
which to base an opinion. The govern
ment will know what to do, however,
when the army officer makes his re-
port. But there is no reason to think
that he will find that anything is being
done at Chalmette that will call for the
interference of the government. No
doubt the British have been extremely
careful not to violate the neutrality
laws. They value the privilege of buy
ing mules in this country too highly to
risk losing 1t by violating the laws.

HE pHILIppINE CoINAGE BILL.


Many Republicans and Gold Stand
ard Democrats are wondering why the
Senate Committee on the Philippines
reported in the Philippine bill pro-
the Islands. A sub committee, COM
posed of two Republicans and one
Democrat-a silver Democrat-re-
ported in favor of the free
coinage of silver and, it's report was
adopted by the full committee without
debate.
1t is predicted that there will be
very determined opposition to this pro-
vision of the bill when it comes before
the Senate. There is great deal of
son and Beveridge, the two Republic
cans of the subcommittee came to re-
port in favor of free coinage. 1t is
felt that they must have some explain
alton to offer If the bill should pass
in it's present shape the Republican
party will be asked why it thinks free
silver is a good thing for the Phil
ippines If it is not a good thing for the
United States.
Fear is expressed that the bill, If
should become law, would have the
effect of bringing the silver question
to the front again, and that free coin
age would be as much of an issue in
the campaign of 1904 as it was in that
of 1900
