Fitzgerald enterprise. (Fitzgerald, Ga.) 1895-1912, 1903-09-17

1t seems difficult matter for some people to I'M
derstand that city permits the running at large of
hogs cows and horses on it's streets Most villages
do, for the reason that there is always opposition
from the owners of stock. But before village be-
city the stock law-usually after several
attempts-is enforced.
Every law works hardship on few, prohibition
works hardship on the liquor dealer.
Small sacrifices is the penalty we pay for the
great privilege of society.

Stone advised members to let the
law stand. In November last, as
the time approached to elect sue
cessor TO Senator Vest. the state
ment was printed, and not denied
by Stone within our knowledge,
that Stone was employed by the
Boston branch Of the trust TO in
duce the state commission to
award the contracts TO the trust:
that during his term as governor.
Stone tried to procure the passage
of sehoolbook commission with
power invested in himself: that q
commission bin was passed when
Stephens was governor, and that
Stone named one Of its mem bers.
after prolonged solicitation of
the privilege: that q short time be-
fore the commission met Stone de-
nonnced the book trust in speech

double plays. and that the con.

cum case, have their origin in poll
tics. They, therefore, involve the
officers of the law. and any attempt
TO arrest and punish fuedist re-
suits in more killings. The assas-
sination Of Governor Goebel a few
years ago in Kentucky was held
by many to have been ''the black
est crime since the assassination
Of Lincoln. vet it was only the
loQica! outcome Of the peculiar
conditions existing in the state.
The only difference between the
killing of Goebel and the sssasslna-
ton of Marcum lies in the distiDc-
ton given the former through the
office be held, otherwise one killing
was as black as the other. What
Kentucky needs is q considerable
number of judicial hangings, and
murder would soon lose its interest
among the fuedists.

The recent Marcum murder in
Kentucky again calls general at
tention to the deplorable neglect
in the proper enforcement of the
laws for the protection of society
in that state. In Kentucky there
is too much of one man constitut-
ing law unto himself. If he has
q grievance against his neighbor
he takes a gun and adjusts the diff
ference by assassination. The
kindred of the man killed take the
matter up and retaliate by killing
one or more of the opposing fam
lily, and so it goes On until Que
side or the other is wiped out or
tas been run from the state. Rare
y does the law ever step in to pun
ish the murderers. In many in

Other scandalous deals were scarce
" touched. Ali should be expos

The abandonment Of d half fin

satisfactorily explained on the
ground that the Supreme Court re-

A good deal is heard about the
errors that are made by printers;
so much noise is made about the
printer and his Typographical cr-
rors that doubtless many people
think that the printers should be
charged with all the errors that
are made in print, forgetting that
the man who prepared the copy,
and the proof reader both have a
chance to fall down. The printers
are human, and they do make err
rors, just like other folks, and
sometimes Of a most annoying
nature. But they frequently pre-
vent errors from getting into
print, although. of course, the pub
lie never hears this. Many times
the writer's of this has bad bad

ture Of their work.

The School Book Monopoly.

AAii ShoAS IL AlSNit w StbAtoN
Missourians as to the operations of
the school kook trust in this state.
1t is represented that the trust used
money to defeat the sehoolbook
commission bill in the recent ses-
sion oi the legislature, but the
truth is that the trust worked des-
perateIy to pass the bill. The
reasons are plain why the monopol-
ists sct the state machine in full
motion to accomplish their scheme.
4 permanent commission Was pro
posed in what is called the David
son bill. The bill failed in the
house because all the Republicans
and about twenty Democrats vot-
ed against It. Great was the re-
suting grief of the trust and the
disappointment Of the state ring.
The Davidson bill that wa, thus
smashed provided for g permanent
sehoe!book commission of five
members, four to be appointed by
the governor. The other member
was to be ". L. Darlington. state
superintendent. Mr.. Darlington
was formerly in the employ Of the
sehoolbook trust. The proposed
commission was to make all con-
tracts for schOolbooks and sup
plies. and revise the list of books
bienniaIIy, an arrangement that
would have kept the trust atten-
tive to the requirements of the
state machine and also bIed the
people freely BY frequent changes
in books.
Thanks to the Republican repre-
senta.iyes and what are called the
twenty ''Filipino Democrats" the
schoolbook permanent monopoly
bill WAS beaten. At the general
election next year the people of the
state will vote on an amentment to
the state constitution providing for
free books in the public schools.
No doubt tie amendment will pass
by large majority. and the state
| will then supply the books, a sys-
tenn that will save an immense
amount of money by dealing di-
rectly with the matter on a large
basis. Parents will be relieved
from the combine by which they
have been freely plundered. They
have been paying s6 cents copy
for the poorest history of the
United States. A history in Kan.
sas costs 55 cents. The complete
arithmetic which is 56 cents in
Missouri is 3S cents in Kansas. A
text book on civil government i:
! IS cents In Missouri and II cents
in Kansas. Missouri parents have
paid 80 per cent more for the same
! set of books than is charged ir
Kansas or Indiana. Over 100000
children are enrolled in the public
schools of Missouri. The school
book trust has been rolling in cX
tortiona'e profits in this state
Their reasons for wanting per-
manent commission are evident.
1t has been stated that in 1875
Darlington appeared before the
schoolbook commission as the pait
agent of one branch of the boob
trust, and ". J. Stone Represented
the other branch; and that in th.
