The OPENING of the Mississippi.

Different members of the faculty of the
State University have made some valuable
contributions TO state or national history.
The latest of these by Professor Frederic
A Ogg. of that institution. is entitled THE
Opening of the Mississippi; Struggle for
Supremacy in the American Interior The
book is intended primarily to be a history
OF the discovery, exploration and contest
ed rights OF navigation OF the Mississippi
river from the earliest times down TO the
final settlement of American ownership and
supremacy The theme is large one and,
like the great river itself. il occasionally
broadens out so as TO embrace important
passages in the history of the entire Mis-
sissippi valley The latter theme has been
wellkhandleI by different authors. but no
other work presents as comprehensive and
detailed a history OF events pertaining di-
rectly TO the river this one does. The
history Of the river since IL came into the
undlsputed ownership of the United States
has been one OF uninterrupted commercial
utility and an important factor in the
peopIIng and development OF the CONT
oent- Its history prior 10 the Louisiana
purchase was one OF changing sovereign
ties. disputed rights and diplomatic nego-
tlauons- In the discussion and settlement
or these questions four nations were from
time 10 time involved-Spain, France Eng
land and the United States-and their con-
troVersieS and negotiations regarding the
river formed no small part of the early
history of the interior of the continent.
The area of the Mississippi valley may be
stated roughly at u million and quarter
square miles. All the great countries OF
central Europe-Germany Austria, Hun
gary. France and Italy-could be set down
IN II, and yet there would be much room
10 spare. Almost every rood Of its space
can be made 10 furnish home and Sus-
tenance, If not to the farmer, any rate
TO the. ranchman or the miner. 1T has al
ready played. and must always play. an
important and potential part in the growth
OF the Nation. The. history Of the great
river that drains this vast valley Is re-
plete with physical political and economic
interest The author treats it under the
headings The Importance of the Missis-
sippi Valley" Tine Spanish Discovery of
the Mississippi. Tine Search of the
French for the Mississippi" La Sale and

Our State Democratic Leader.

From the Atlanta News
Chairman Yeomans is doing valiant
service In his Official capacity 10 urlhg
ont a full democratic vote IN Georgia,
and 10 present Georgia with undlmIn'
ished prestige la the forefront vi Lne
democratic states of the union.
Amid the apathy which prevails In
all sections and in all parties toward
the issues OF the present campaign IT
ia a. least fortunate W reject that
those who are charged with the direc'
tinn and inspiration of our own party
cause are neither asleep nor indltfer-
ent tn the trust committed to their
care.
Down there at Dawson Chairman
yeomans has small army of sLenOgra-
nhers and correspondents busily en-
gagged from early morn until dewY eve
in the distribution of campaign htera-
ture, circulars, pamphlets and cam
paign books to different sectlons OF the
stale, constantly supplemented by arr
GENT personal letters TO leading polltl-
cal influences in different sections,
urging upon them the necessity of
bringing out full vote of the Georgia
democracy for the sake of its effect on
the national campaign.
There is not city nor county. in
Georgia with whose condition and po-
litical prospects Chairman Yeomans is
not perfectly familiar. He has made
IL lis business to go up and down the
line, as prudent and faithful general
should do, strengthening the faith of
the weak, encouraging the diligent,
inspiring the apataetic and working
into the proper and most effective
channels all who are willing to labor
for the common cause.
If the result in November shall turn
the democratic party into power
no man in Georgia will be entitled to
greater credit for faithful and effective
work than the present chairman OF
the democratic state committee.
1t, on the other hand, disaster should
befall our leaders and our armies on
the political field of November Chair
man Yeomans and the democrats who
stood by him may comfort themselves
with the reflection that they have
done the best they could and the belt
that anyone could do to forward the
fortunes of the democratic faith.

RUBBING 1T IN.

Although Mr.. Bryan is giving the
democratic nominee for president loyal
and effective support some OF the DEM
oeratic newspapers that were none too
loyal to the party nominee in the last
two campaigns, if they did not even
svmpathize with the republicans, are
disposed to still pursue him. For in
stance, the Savannah News, in noting
that Mr.. Bryan is to make number Of
speeches for the party in Indiana this
month, suggests that the democratic
campaign managers, if they have not
already done so, ought to interview
him and "fnd out what he proposes to
cay"
That a great leader and democrat
like Mr.. Bryan should be cstechlsed as
to his views and instructed as to what
he shall say by lot of little one-gal-
fused politicians before he addresses
an audience of his cOuptrymen is
proposition that would be insulting but
for its extreme Righteousness.
We repeat, If Judge Parker is de-
feated his fool friends will be largely
for 1t. If they would fight
the republicans half as hard as they
try to humiliate aud discredit better
democrats than they are the outlook
for success in November would be
much brighter than it is now.
