NOT so BAD.

The papers are declaring that
the Beers have gained everything
for which they fought except in
dependence. While the burghes
may not in name be sovereign
states after their surrender still
retain close approximation to
absolute liberty. 1t is said that
the South African states will enjoy
as much autonomy as does fedora
tive Australia. The only limita-
ton placed upon the power of
Australia is that it must accept a
governor general sent from Brit
ain. This official is only Il figure
head, his powers being merely
nominal. and he is intended to be
only a harmless emblem of the
sovereignty of the mother country.
Canada, another British possess
ion, boldly declares the doctrine
that If it desires absolute indie
pendence, it is entitled to take it.
In England It is freely declared
that the British have obtained the
peace and the Beers the honors by
the surrender Of the latter.

One of the latest definitions of
solon is that he is a man who
goes into politics to get rich, and
creeps out to keep from going to
the poor house. He is a we'll
meaning person who goes to the
capitol, knowing too little and
comes home knowing too much.
He travels there with pure ideas
and high purpose, land returns in
parlor car on pass. He goes to
cultivate his mind and widen his
information, and acquires new
thirst and knowledge that checkers
differ from full hands and bobtail
flushes. He is a church member
who frowns on dancing and frivo-
lily and attends the legislative
balls and forgets to tell his wife
about it. And long afterwards he
sits down to think, thanks the Lord
that he has got back with enough
character to face the congregations

HOUSES BUILT UPON THE SANDS.

Much has been said of the au-
dacity of man in building his
home in spots so dangerous as the
slopes of Mont Pelee have proved
themselves to be. Yet, says the
Providence Journal, all history
affords illustrations of the forget
fulness with which the race erects
its dwelling places on the sites of
the most dreadful catastrophes.
Vesuvius still smokes over
peaceful Naples. Lisbon rises,
beautiful and imposing, where a
"convulsion of nature once
brought unutterable fright and
desolation. The japanese still
crowd the coast of their tide
swept islands and the Chinese
huddle along the banks of the Ho-
ang-Ho. 1t is not two years since
Galveston was overwhelmed by
flood, yet a new Galveston is be-
ing built on the dangerous site of
the wreckage and the people of
the city are ready to take their
chances of a similar disaster in
the future. There is absolutely
nothing to prevent a second tidal
wave from the gulf yet the city
pursues its daily task, apparently
ulafraid.
Men in hazardous enterprises
continue in them, because they
offer something more than a liv-
ing wage. Manufacturing pro-
cesses that retire the constant in
halation of noxous gases or dam
gerous dusts pay high prices for
labor and have no difficulty III OBJ
tanning recruits. We live IN I'M
sanitary houses, with death and
disease staring at us from every
corner, and yet shudder at the
fine audacity of people who are
willing to spend their days be-
meath the curling smoke of long
smouldering volcano.
The fact that i'll the less healthy
districts of the crowded cities
of the United States, where VEN
tilation is bad and drainage de-
ficient and disease germs are
abundant, man is exposed to a
greater risk than the dwellers on
the islands of the West Indies.

MACON TELEGRAPH.

Mr.. Query during the cam
paign just closed declared that
the Macon Telegraph was such a
strong whiskey paper that when
you opened it you could smell
whiskey. This of course referred
to the whiskey policy of the pa
per and not to the personal habits
of the editor. The Telegraph is
certainly strong, in its advocacy
of the whiskey traffic and loses no
opportunities to sheer at attempts
made to restrict it by means of a
general law. A recent Issue de-
clares that there is some truth in
the assertion that a whlskey saloon
is the poor mans club, and does
The Marietta journal. [volume] (Marietta, Ga.) 1866-1909, 1902-06-12

not strongly condemn the propo-
sition that the rum shops in large
cities be opened on Sunday for
the benefit of the working people.
1t is fortunate that the Telegraph
is not widely read newspaper
since the tone of its editorials on
the liquor question has a .tenden-
cy to encourage the use of ardent
spirits by making them easy to
obtain. RADIUS VICTOR.

Some of our statesmen declare
that the Philippine ownership can
not be made party issue. Prob
ably that is true in the abstract,
but the policy followed there is
an issue, and sharp one. On
the humanitarian side of that is
sue the Democratic party takes its
stand. While the Republican
party endorses Smith, the "water
cure" and slavery. the Democrat
&c party condemns each and all of
them. 1t is not so much the
ownership, but the final DISPOSE
ton of the archipelago that is in
issue.

A MELANGE OF
LIVE TOPICS
Penned for journal Readers
by a Local Scribe.
A RETROSPECT.

The election is over and Mr..
Terrell has beed declared to be the
choice of the people of Georgia for
governor. The pluralities of the
successful candidates are large,
and Mr.. Query who was thought
to be one of the leading candidates
is, from present indications, the
third in the race, 1t is probable
that Mr.. Query would have re-
ceived more votes mot enough
however to elect him considering
present political methods) If he
had not been unfortunate in the
selection of campaign manager
and had not some of his most IN
fuential supporters been of GER
tain character. During the cam
palga the writer without attack
ing any one or making predictions
of any nature whatever, wrote a
letter upon legal point involved
in the issues of the gubernatorial
race, and sent it to Mr.. Guerry's
manager telling him that if he
should change it in any manner
to do so over his own signature
when it should be sent to the At
lanta Journal for publication.
When the communication APP
peared it had been changed into a
personal attack upon Mr.. Terrell,
a postscript had been added not
written by the writer of this piece
in which Mr.. Terrell was asked
some pointed questions and Cobb
county it was predicted, would
cast It's vote for Mr.. Query. Judg-
ing from the caustic illusions fire.
quently made in the papers about
Mr.. Guerry's manager, it is ev!-
dent that that person was quite
successful in exciting the ire and
consequently the redoubled oppo-
sition to his principal, of a large
number of persons.
Sam Jones, Broughton and
Walker Lewis were heavy load
for Mr.. Query to carry. Minis
ters of the gospel can, with pro-
priety, have political views and
vote them accordingly, but no such
person can without lowering him
self in the public estimation and
injuring the cause which he repre-.
sents, proclaim these views from
the pulpit, The writer voted fol
Mr.. Query because he thought
his platform was better than the
platforms Of the other two candl
dates. At the same time it was
with a certain revulsion of feeling
that the scribe felt himself com
PEELED to obey the behests of the
political preachers; and it is high
ly probable that many Guerr,
sympathizers rebelled and vote(
against their convictions as a pro
test against a practice which i
entirely opposed to Southern
ideas.
In all future political campaigns
in this state it is to be sincerel,
hoped that preachers, so far as th
pulpit is concerned, will stick t,
their spiritual texts. The candi
date i'll the South who seeks to EN-
list their aid from the pulpit vii
be at a decided disadvantage per
haps for all time to come.
