The Georgian Renaissa nce.

The Hon. HoKK SMITH, 1the brainiest
and most powerful man in Georgia, = is
now on the stump. He doesn't want to
be Governor Of Georgia, but he wishes
to comply with the all but universal
desire Of the people. 1t is right to say,
80 far as an outsider is justified in say
ing anything about Georgia institutions,
that Mr.. SMITH snorts proper degree
of defiance at railroad corporations,
and that the only serious charge against
him is that rum, to give great staple
its generic name, is sold in the barroom
Of the Piedmont Hotel in Atlanta. Mr..
SMITH, one Of tho owners OF the hotel,
explains that as joint owner he cannot
control his wicked partners. and that his
pro rata share of the profits of the irri-
cation plant is dedicated to charitable
uses.
How satisfactory this explanation is
even to the straightest sect OF the Drys
may be judged from the remarks Of
Col. E. Fl, SEARcY, editor OF the Middle
Georgia Former, who has four reasons
for supporting Mr.. SMITH, and especially
this ore:
Because while he has been forced Into an sp-
parent attitude as liquor seller BY the conduct
Of his partners who own controlling interest In
joint enterprise he sives away thousands Of dollars
that he may maintain his Christian Integrity and
live blameIess life before his GOD and fellow coun
trymen.-
The controlling partners live blame
less lives, 50 far as we know, although
they may not choose to give themselves
or thousands Of dollars away. COL
SEARCY's statement, while fully win
dicating' Mr.. SMITH. Is unfair to the
wicked partners. They cannot close
that barroom IL they choose. All the
artistic and literary magnates Of Georgia,
her journalists. her politicians, her
capitalists. her plain and handsome
people, press eagerly to that shrine OF
art. For such 1t 10. The Gal Of the

The Am cndment Labor" Advocates.
Section 1 of Article XII. Of tho State
Constitution is as follows:


Section of Article XII. of tho State
Constitution is as follows:
1T shall be the duty Of the Legislature 70 pro-
vide tor the organization Of cities and incorporated
Villages, and TO restrict their power OF TAXATION
assessment borrowing money. contr acting debts
and losnns their credit 90 as 70 prevent abuses In
assessments and In contracting debt By such mu-
nicipal oorporsuons.-
Tho fourth OF tho seven proposed
amendments to the Constitution which
will be submitted to the people for their
action on election day, If approved by a
majority of the voters, would add to
this section these clauses:
And tho Legislature may regulate and AZ the
wages or salares. the hours OF work or labor. and
mako provision for the protection, welfare and
safety Of persons employed by the State, or BIZ any
county. city. town, village or other cvil division
OF the State, or by any contractor or sah conrac.
tor. performing work. labor or services for tho
state for any county. city town. village or other
civil division thereof
The agitation for the adoption of this
amendment began in 1902, after the
Court Of Appeals had declared the Pre-
vailing Rate Of Wages law and the Cut
Stone law to be unconstitutional, and
Just before the same tribunal declared
the Eight Hour law to be worthless. For
several years the cry DO something
for labor!" had been effective in dragoon-
ing the Legislature into passing discrimi-
mating acts regulating the conduct Of
the business Of the State and its political
subdivisions. As fast az these laws came
before the courts they we're knocked
out, and the labor leaders saw that II any
considerable part Of the legal structure
they had succeeded in rearing was to
remain standing they must adopt heroic
measures.
This amendment was drawn, therefore,
to confer on the Legislature power to do
what the labor leaders wanted. 1t was
passed by the Senate of 1902, March rs.
March 81 it was passed by the Assembly.
In 1903 it passed the Assembly April o,
and the Senate April 20. The Legis-
lature OF 1908 voted to refer the amend
ment to the people this year. and it is
the fourth Of the seven propositions in
the order in which they will be printed.
The form in which it will appear on the
official ballot is:
Shall tho proposed amendment 70 Section I
Of Article XII. Of the Constitution relating 70 tho
organisation of citcs, DO approved"
The question does not tell the story of
the amendment, and the voter who does
not inform himself on the proposed
changes in the Constitution will get no
light from the official ballot. As this
amendment affects the labor organiza-
tions vitality, however, it Is likely to be
ventilated thoroughly before the cam
psign ends.

Unstable John Mitchell.


On July 81 we printed despatch
from which we quote the following
extract:
SCRANTON, Pa, July 2o,-JoHN MITCHELL has
given out an interview In answer 10 an editorial
In Thursdays SUN which stated among other
things ,ha. an extensive strike OF miners next
spring 10 possible, II not probable Mr.. MITCHELL
esys Tho statement that the miners have begun
! . movement for general strike noxs April In tho
event our demands Are refused u propos,erous.
utterly ealso and absolutely untrue. The whole
article y In error. We are not making any prep
arations for . strike neat April because We believe
,hs. satisfactory agreements viii DO entered upon
without much diniculty.'-
At Tamaqua, on August n, Mr..
MITCHELL said that he knew what he and
the union miners were going to do next
spring. He did not say what 1t was. He
did not say that strike order would be
issued by him and obeyed by his fol-
lowerss But there is nothing in his
speech at Tamaqua or In his speeches
elsewhere which in any way intimates
Mr. MlTcHELL's purpose to accept quietly
and without struggle the failure OF his
effort to secure an eight hour day and
recognition Of the union. The stress
which he lays on those two points a.
Essential to permanent peace and In
dustrial tranquility In the anthracite
region leaves no inference possible
except that Of his intention to strike for
them II they are not accorded by the
operators.
During his campaign in the mining
district this summer Mr.. MITCHELL
has again and again asserted his desire
for peace. But this assertion has almost
invariably been coupled with more or
less discreetly yelled intimation that
peace could be established only on bis
own terms, and that il those terms were
not accepted by the operators the re-
sponsibility for a struggle would rest
with them and not with him. That Is
the argument OF the highwayman who
says to his victim: II want no fight with
you, but II you do not give me your
money will take it from you, and the
responsibility for the fight and its results
will be yours and not mine.
Whether Mr.. RoosEvELT's address to
the miners had any definite effect on the
situation we are unable to say. But 1t
seems to us that the Mitchell policy is
susceptible OF summary thus: Speak
softly to the public and carry big stick
to use on the operators If they do not
give what We want So long as Mr..
MITCHELL could parade his followers
before the public as suffering and out
ragged proletariat he could count on q
large measure Of public sympathy and
support. Should he lead his men into
a strike next April he will find himself
handicapped by his own statement at
Wilkesbarre and by the facts which
support 1t. that since tho strike Of 1902
the miners "have enjoyed an era Of
prosperity unprecedented In the history
Of the hard coal regions
Before pouring out its sympathies for
those who are enjoying an era Of I'M
precedented prosperity the coal con-
Stunning public will probably run an eye
over its coal bills and compare existing
prices with those Of earlier days, and
then spend few hours wondering just
where it comes into the game.

to-day. Tho charge that DR.. Salmon was
FOR several years connected with the George
E. Howard Printing Company, which hrn
has at various times secured contracts from

the opinion Of Secretary Wilson and Solicitor
McCabe, DR.. Salmon is only mildly censur-
able for his connection with the concern.
Secretary Wilson made statement con-
corning the case as followG

RELEASED BY A FRIEND
Inmate of an Insane Asylum for Twelve
Years Because Others Had De-
serted Him.

Elgin, ILL.,, June edward Dye, at
one time a musician of Chicago. who
for twelve Years has been in the North
arn Illinois Insane Hospital in this city,
because his relatives and friends had
deserted him and refused to sign nine
ty-day parole bond, has been released
from the hospital. Thirty years ago
Dye and G. B. Brigham, local manager
for piano company, lived side by side
On Lake street in Chicago. They at
tended school together and both be-
came interested in music. Two weeks
ago Brigham found his old companion
in the hospital.
After the two had separated Dye
had married, but with his rise in the
musical world came domestic troubles.
In 1893 he was committed to the Elgin
hospital. Within eight months after be-
ing sent to the institution he had re-
covered, but his friends had gone
against him, so there was no one to
sign his parole. In April last Brigham
came to Elgin to live, little dreaming
that his old friend Dye was deprived
of his freedom. By chance, after TWEEN
ty years separation, the two meet, and.
to Brigham Dye owes his release.
Prior to 1893 Dye was a, tuner and
demonstration for Lyon & Healy. He
has been given a position with piano
company in Elgin, and says he has no
desire to visit the familiar scenes Of
his boyhood and early manhood days.
