TWO VIEWS OF POVERTY.


/ A literary gentleman named Robert
Hunter has written a book on poverty.
But why rub it in?
Being literary gentleman. he prob
ably speaks with authority on the
subject, but is the fact that one knows
a thing an excuse for writing it?
But that isn't the especial quarrel
we have with Mr.. Hunter. He makes
poverty a crime.
He contends that poverty is procrea-
tive and is littering the world with
"miserables, whose degeneracy is so
stubborn and fixed that reclamation
is almost impossible
What are we poor people to do,
then? Does he not imply that the best
thing for us is to do away with our
selves?
On the other hand, there is Mr..
Roosevelt, who urges the poor people
to do their duty. He does not view
our lot as so utterly hopeless. We
poor men ought to work, he says, and
the poor women ought to be mothers.
Which is the better kind of race
suicide-that which Mr. Hunter infer
entially advises or that which Mr..
Roosevelt abhors?

Many things go to show that ex-
Senator John L. Wilson will have
big pull with the Mead administra-
ton. It is said that Wilson is already
politicians in return for promises of
legislative votes for United States
senator. Wilson's paper, the Seattle
acknowledgements, made a terrific fight
for the election of Mead and it con-
tributed not a little toward his sue
cess by it's bitter attacks upon George
Turner's record on national issues in
the United States senate. An indica-
ton of Wilson's hold on Mead is given
in the following statement by the
wise Politician of the Spokesman
Review:
Senator E. B. Palmer of Seattle,
chairman of the republican state COM
mittee, is RECALLING his friends with the
information that he intends to board
at the residence Of Governor Mead
during the legislative session this win
ter. Inasmuch as Mr.. Palmer is
openly supporting John l.. Wilson for
the United States senate, in face of the
Endorsement of another man by his
own county, this move is at least sug-
gestive.
The chances are, however, that Mr..
Palmer will be a nine spot in the
state senate. Lieutenant Governor
Coon, who will appoint the senate COM
mittees, has probably not forgotten the
fact that Palmer tried to force him
off the ticket in the middle of the
campaign, and the committee plums
which Palmer receives will be few and
far between.
The truth is that Palmer is 'swelled
up. He thinks he elected Mead.
Roosevelt's majority, in his mind, had
nothing to do with the result. Gov
ernor Mead confessed, however, in a
public speech at a Seattle banquet that
RoOsevelts popularity was his own
salvation SO it is to be doubted if he
takes much stock in Mr.. Palmer's pre-
tentions. Still, he can't refuse the
state chairman board and lodging, in
view of the shortage of accommodate
lions in Olympia
With Governor Mead under the sur
Vigilance of Chairman Palmer night
and day it will not be easy for the old
enemies of Wilson to get favors from
the administration without first MAX
ing peace with the governors mentor
1t is doubtful, therefore, whether Will
son will allow a rich plum like the
wardenship of the penitentiary to be
given out except in consideration of a
bunch OF votes in support of his can
didacy for the senate. = ---,

Denied BY Chief Westbrook.
Albany, Ga, Sept. 17.-Monday, Sept.

lice Commissioners, as the date for be-
ginning the hearing of the charges pre-
ferred some time ago by prominent cit
liens of Albany against Chief of Police
r. N. Wcstbrook.
The delay in bringing the case to trial
has been the result of inability to bring

force shall be before a full board. May
or Lippitt now has assurance, how
over, that all the commissioners will
be present a week from Monday, and
the trial will then be called.
The charges against Chief Westbrook
are of a highly sensational character.
They were first made by Rev. Len G..
Broughton of Atlanta, from his pulpit,
while he was conducting a series of
religious meetings here about three
months ago. Prominent citizens aft
erwards took the charges up and for
mally presented them, Chief westbrook
having in the meantime cowhided Dr.

NEWS OF A DAY IN
GEORGIA'S CAPITAL
SAVANNAH OR BRUNSWICK
MAY SECURE BATTLEsHIP GEOR-
GA AND CEREMONY.

Planned to Have the BattIeshiP Go
Into Commission at One of the
Georgia POrts-In the Event This
is Done the Governor and His
stan Will Attend and the Cere-
mon viii BE Made an Imposing
One,
Atlanta, Sept, 17.-Assurances have
been received by Gov. Terrell from
the Navy Department that the bat
tleship Georgia, which is to be launch
ed at Bath, Me, on Oct. H. will be
put into commission either at Savan-
nah or Brunswick. 1t has been a mat
ter of regret that the launching will
take place so far away that suitable
Georgia ceremony cannot mark the
christening of the big fighter. 1t was
TO rectify this unfortunate circum-
stance that the Secretary of the Navy
has seen fit to arrange for the COM
missioning to take place at Georgia
port.
When this event takes place next
spring the Governor with his staff will
attend and a large military and naval
display will be made by the Georgia
State Troops and the Naval Reserves.
Military Protection Costly.
Gov. Terrell has paid out within the
last few weeks over $1,000 for the pro-
lection of prisoners wanted by mobs
and expenses incident thereto. For
protecting the negro Williford at Ca
milla and for the attempted protec-
tion of Reed and Cato at Statesboro
the state has paid bills of the militia
aggregating $1,000. The court of in
quiry, which was subsequent to the
Statesboro attempt, cost the state $500,
and the court-martial, which will fol-
low as the result of the court of in
quiry, will, it is estimated, cost about
$1,000.
