Publicity Is the Proper Thing.

The work of bringing about a.
greater degree Of publicity OF trust
and corporation affairs goes bravely
on. To-day the people know more In
general about the affairs Of the giant
companies that dominate trade in
various lines than they ever knew be-
fore. The cry for publicity has spread
and the desire for it has grown apace
since the time when President Roose-
welt first touched upon the matter and
argued that as a first step towards
trust control and elimination Of trust
evils we should acquire better
| knowledge Of the minor workings Of
the companies.
There is no way by which the public
can look into the secret councils of the
big companies. The Standard Oil
company has never made a public
statement of income or expenses and
| it is doubtful If it could be made to.
But we can at least hammer on the
| outer gates and raise such disturbance
as will direct public attention that way
! and we can emphasize any particular
evils that stand out prominently.
Along this line financial paper
noted for conservatism, The Wall
Street Journal, prints an article giving
the names of some prominent citizens
of New York who are in the poolroom
business, a rather low form of gam
bling. Russell Sage and George Gould,
Chauncey Depew, J. Pierpont Morgan
and John Jacob Astor are some Of
these worthless. To be sure, these men
| do not stand out on Broadway and
steer the public in, but they are di-
graph company, which aids and abets
the poolroom business in every way.
About $50 poolrooms are said to be
going, and the earnings from these
places, it is asserted, amounts to no
less than 100000, or 10 per cent Of
the company's total earnings of about
$30,0O0,000 per annum.
The point about the whole matter is
that just at the time when there is
much talk of keeping the lid down"
in New York, one Of the trusted sub
ordinates of the Western Union is
making every effort to take the lid
off by extending the poolroom bust
ness Of the company. It is utter alb
surdity to suppose that the twenty
nine honorable gentlemen who make
up the company's directorate do not
know this.
Very recently there was an unsavory
gas bill up at Albany and the names
| of the wealthy men who stood to
benefit by it's passage appeared in
print, that all might know the exact
situation.
! Perhaps it is too much to hope that
this will accomplish material good at
once, but it is all in line with the
general desire for publicity and team
not be doubted that when a bad deal
is being put thru it is. a good plan to
print the names Of the high hnanciers
who, while they do not directly stooI
to soil their hands, are nevertheless in
great measure responsible for the evil

WAR IN THE EAST.

According to Russian reports the
army of Field Marshal Oyama
confronting the Russian forces in
the vicinity of the Shakhe river
has been reinforced by from 10000
to $4,000 men from Port Arthur and
japan.
Earlier reports have indicated
that Gen. Kuropatkin has received
nearly equal accessions to his
forces, although yesterdays dis
patches from Mukden intimate the
contrary and convey the impress
sion that the present moment finds
the Russians not fully prepared to
meet a Japanese advance that may
begin at any hour.
A Russian advance seems to be
regarded as questionable, owing to
the fact that the period since the
close of the battle of Shakhe river
has been devoted by the Japanese
to a strenuous prosecution of the
work of entrenching.
The contending armies are with
in close touch, and any outpost
brush or reconnaissance may bring
on a general engagement.
There is much cannonading of
positions on both sides, Poutiloff
Clone Tree) Hill being marked
storm center.

WATS0N'S BOOST FOR
P0PULISM IN BULLOCK.
Hts speech mt statesboro n Tirade
Against Parker and Democracy.

HIS speech mt Statesboro Ifrn0e
Against Parker and Democracy.
Statesboro. Oct. 3l.-Hon. Thomas
f. Watson spoke for two hours and a
half at the Court House this morning
to a large crowd. The audience, which
was almost wholly composed of an
cient Populists. cheered him TO the
echo when he said anything particu-
larly severe on the Democrats.
Mr. Watson said he had been criti-
cised for saying so much about Par
The reason for this. he said, WAS that
every one knew he had always OPP
posed everything that Roosevelt stood
for: that Roosevelt was bold cham
pion OF the principles which he repre-
sented, and stood out in the open, and
anybody that could hit a barn could
hit him. On the other hand, no one
has ever heard Parker tell just what
he stood for.
1t cost the Republicans $lO,O00,O00 to
defeat Bryan. said Watson, and 1t was
cheaper to buy the nomination OF
man who could not hurt them, so the
STANDARD Oil Company and Havemeyer
of the sugar trust bought Parker's
nomination.
The Democratic party is in no wise diff
ferent from the Republican, said Mr.
Watson, Georgia's senators condemned
Roosevelt for the Panama scandal, but
both voted for the treaty, he said.
Parker said the tariff should be revis-
ed and so did Roosevelt. The govern
ment spent all of the money that 1t
could raise. How could any deficiency
i'm revenue be supplied since the demo-
Gratis had abandoned the plank for an
income tax. The Democrats are all down
on Roosevelt, said Mr.. Watson, ,fordining
with Booker Washington. The governor
of Virginia dined with lot of Mas
sachusetts people one of whom
was a negro, and nothing was
said about It. President Nc
Kinley and the governor of Alabama
at Tuskege lunched with Booker
Washington. and nothing was said
about that.
THE cry Of fear of negro Nominations
is humbug. Every state except Georgia
has practically disfranchiseed the negro.
Georgia refused to do II because the
Democrats need the negro to carry
their elections"
Mr.. Watson said he would carry the
vote of Georgia IL the Democrats did
not use the negro in the election. In
every Southern state, he said, even
South Carolina, and in some of the
Northern states, he had started the old
party anew, never more to be swallow
ed up or merged with any party. The
newspapers. he said. are unstinted In
their praise of the books he had writ
ten, but when IL come to polite no
abuse was sever enough. Yet. every
book he had written, he said. was writ
ten with view to setting forth and IL
lustrating the principles for which he
is fighting. and for which he had al
ways fought.
Mr.. Watson said that no Democrat
could tell what principles Parker stands
for. Every l9opulist can tell what he
(Watson) stands for The whole ma
chinery of the Democratic party In
Georgia. he said. is controlled by the
Southern Railway. through Hamp Nc
Whorter and other lobbyists.
Mr.. Watson concluded by urging the
people to come out and vote for him.
No vote, he said, was ever lost which
WAS cast for the honest convictions of
the voter.

STRONG REINFORCEMENT

slams Case All the Worse.
Mukden, Oct. 81. The Japanese army
is being rapidly reinforced. and it is
expected that the new troops Nvil short
ly reach 10000 to $4,000. This great
ly complicates the problem confront
ing the Russian commander. The whole
energies of the Russians must be 1evor-
ed to holding their position unless
they can bring up large reinforce
ments speedily. Even in that case
the situation promises to become in
creasingly difficult.

vent the latter from cutting through
and severing the communications of
the former.
Two battalions returning early on
the morning of Oct. 20, from the banks
OF the Shakhe river. came. under fire
from Japanese 12-inch guns. Several
shells falling in the Russian ranks did
considerable damage. One man was
rendered deaf and dumb, but otherwise
