THE VICTOR AND THE sPoILs.

1t is quite expected that the
Atlanta Freight Bureau, as an
nounced in the press dispatches,
will put forth its present traffic
manager, Harry 7. Moore, for the
office of railroad commissioner
to succeed Commissioner Joseph
NJ. Brown. And it is entirely
within the power of Mr.. Hoke
Smiths delegates in the State
Convention to say whether Traffic
Manager Harry T Moore of the At
lanta Freight Bureau shall have
it. The main contention of the
Atlanta Freight Bureau has been
lower port rates. At first the de-
mand for these rates was for At
lanta. Subsequently they were
asked for all interior points, but it
was shown during the campaign
that as Atlanta is seeking to ex-
tend her territory for the sale of
goods, lower port rates would be
OF more advantage to her than to
a smaller distributing point. The
point is that a lower port rate
would benefit her more than it
would place like Albany, Amer
icus or Cordele, because the reduc-
ton would be both to and from
the ports. A 30 cent rate from and
to the port would let Atlanta into
the territory of the smaller iobbing
cities in South Georgia on better
terms than she enjoys at present.
AS Atlanta will have pretty nearly
all the places on the ticket it would
be only fair to name d railroad
man from within her gates and Mr..
Harry T. Moore. traffic manager of
the Atlanta Freight Bureau, by all
recognized rules of war and usage,
is entitled to be named as Com
missioner Browns successor.

STRICTLY AN AMERICAN HABIT

Quite recently a northern paper
gave good Indication as to how
much a man who lives in New
knows about the rest of the coun-
try. In the current issue there is
picture of a scene at Saratoga, a
group sitting out on the sidewalk
under the trees, and under it the
words. "The European habit of
sitting on the sidewalk at Sara
toga." If the editors of Harper's
Weekly and those of some of the
other newspapers of the East would
take their vacation in the South or
the West instead of going to
Europe, they would know more
about their country. Under the
trees on the sidewalk has been the
habitat of the "boys" in every
country town in the South since
the memory of man runneth not to
the contrary. Here is where Presi-
dents, Governors, members of the
Legislature, Sheriffs and Constables
are made. A shade tree, a cane
bottom chair, a plug of tobacco, a
sharp knife with pine sticks handy
and a crowd to talk to-that's bliss
that's the reason the south don't
build more factories and make
more money than it does.

TARIFF THE PARAMOUNT ISSUE

If the Democrats should elect a
majority of the members of the
next House in November the tariff
question would inevitably become
the paramount issue and the presi-
Dental battle of 1908 would be
fought on the lines of that of 1892.
But the republican party does not
want to confront that condition of
politics. 1t is solid on every other
issue, but on the tariff it is very
much divided, hence at the pre-
sent time it is fighting with great
vigor and determination to prevent
the congressional campaign this
year being pitched on the tariff
question. But it is a question that
cannot be forced into the back
ground and kept there. 1t is al
ready so far to the front that astute
Republican politicians are already
predicting that President Roose-
welt himself will get into a notion
to tinker with the tariff by the
time the Sixtietb Congress meets,
provided it has Republican
majority, and will urge revision of
the schedules with the same force
he urged rate regulation on the
Fifty-n ninth Congress.
