Kidney trouble causes quick or unsteady

FINLEY ARRESTED, BUT MAR
SHAL GETS PRISONER.

Asheville, N. c., July 27.-Devel-
opments came thick and fast in the
Railroad Rate law contest this morn
ing. Warrants Of arrest were issued
for President Finley, of the Southern
Railway Company, and o. C. Wilson,
city ticket agent of the same road.
The warrant for President Finley
was placed in the hands of a police
man, who went to the Battery Park
Hotel to serve the papers upon the
executive head of the Southern. Tn
Watson's weekly Jeffersonian., 1907-08-01
FILIBUSTER WAS MOST RE
MARKABLE ON RECORD.
Men Behind it Are Brilliant Parlia-
mentarians Who Labored for
Deliberate Consideration.

The flibuster against the prohi-
bition bill just ended will go down
in history as one Of the most effec-
tive and best managed ever conduct
ed in the Georgia house Of represen-
tatives. It was perhaps the longest
continuous flibuster in The history
OF the state, though others have ex-
tended more days.
Fewer than forty members success
fully tied the hands of an over
whelming majority, and they were
tied securely, tied fairly and square
ly. In this respect, the flibuster will
be remembered as one of the most
remarkable ever inaugurated in
deliberative body.
While it is true the minority re-
sorted to dilatory tactics, they did
it because they believed it was their
only hope, not SO much to defeat
the bill as to obtain a free, full, fair
and impartial hearing Oh the merits
OF the measure.
Mr. Dunbar, Of Richmond, was the
nominal leader of the minority. He
was selected because of his knowl-
edge Of parliamentary law and its
usages in the legislature. He was
the real floor manager, and to him
is due much credit for the ability
and dignity with which he handled
!he minority.
Messrs. Adams and Barrow, of
Chatham, Mr.. Blackburn, Of Fulton,
Mr.. Donaldson, Of Decatur, Mr.. Rus
sell, of Muscogee, Captain Slade, of
Muscogee, Mr.. Chamlee, of Floyd,
Mr.. Fowler, of Bibb, Mr.. Hines. Of
Baldwin, Mr.. Allen, of Richmond, Mr..
Heard, of Dooly, Mr.. Huff, of Lump
kin, Mr. Tiff, Of Dougherty, these
legislators were among the members
who ably assisted in the filibuster.
Watson's weekly Jeffersonian., 1907-08-01

the meantime, arrangements had been
made for habeas corpus proceedings
before Judge Pritchard to obtain
Mr.. Finley's release.
Prevents Finley's Arrest.
The policeman did not succeed in
reaching the police court with his
prisoner. Just as he was ready to
leave the hotel deputy United
States marshal walked in and took
charge of Mr.. Finley. The police
man stood aside, and Mr.. Finley wa,
taken to the Federal Court room.
He was released by Judge Pritchard
shortly before 1 o'clock.
Watson's weekly Jeffersonian., 1907-08-01
Suggestions to Party.

"The Democratic party has in
three national campaigns demanded
effective railroad regulation, while
the Republican national platforms
have been silent on the subject. The
president has partly adopted the
Democratic view on this subject, but,
SO far, the Republican leaders have
resolutely opposed it. The president
is helping to educate the people up
to the need Of railroad regulation,
but his party, under its present lead
ership, is powerless to accomplish this
or any other important reform. IF
the Democratic party will clearly and
unequivocally demand, first, the as
certaining of the value Of all the rail-
roads; second, the preventing of
overcapitalization, and third. the re-
duction of rates to point where
they will yield only a reasonable re-
turn on the real value Of the roads, it
will commend itself not only to Dem
Ocrats, but to those Republicans who
have been led to study the railroad
question. The railroad situation pre-
sents a vital issue. and the issue
should be so stated that every one
can understand the party's position. "
Watson's weekly Jeffersonian., 1907-08-01

state. This question has grown in
Importance during the past year, and
its prominence will be increased if
any attempt is made to impair state
authority. The Republican party is
as impotent to regulate the railroads
as it is to exterminate the trusts and
to reform the tariff.

ed knowledge that was amazing
and discouraging to the overwhelm-
ing majority, which had as its lead
ers many of the oldest and best
posted members Of the legislature.
Turbulent scenes, intense excite
ment, unheard of disorder and
fist fight on the floor of the house
between members, brought to an alb
rupt close the first days filibuster
in the house Of representatives
against the state prohibition bill
Pandemonium reigned in the CALLER
les; individual members were called
by name, hissed, hooted and jeered;
the galleries were cleared after half
an hour Of repeated efforts on the
part Of the sergeant at arms; the
police reserves were called, but the
frenzied crowd would not disperse;
several fights outside the capitol oc-
Cured, and as many more in the
corridors and rotundas were narrow
ly averted.
The prohibition bill, though pri-
marily responsible for the scenes.
was forgot in the turmoil, the strife
and the near-strife that followed;
the filibuster itself was, for the mo-
ment, a thing Of secondary impor-
tance; the attitude of the speaker
and of individual members, who were
called by name, seemed to rankle
more in the hearts of the excited
partisans.
Wright and Hall Fight.
The climax Of the scenes within the
hall of the house was reached when
Representative Seaborn Wright, of
Floyd, and Joseph H. Hall, of Bibb,
clashed in a fist fight The mem
bers Of the house, or nearly all of
them, scrambled over desks, pushed,
pulled and tussled in an effort to
reach the vortex Of the storm. The
speaker was one of the few who re-
tanned his composure, but his con-
tinued appeals for "order, order,
gentlemen, the house will be in or
der!" were as chaff before a March
wind.
And when the two distinguished
representatives dashed madly to-
wards each other, dozens of strong
men went with them, and but for
the cooler heads a rough and tum-
BILE fight might have engaged some
forty Of the representatives, who
seemed willing, though not overly
anxious, to take sides.
The cooler heads separated the bel
igerents before serious harm had
been done, and friends Of either es-
corted them from the capitol a few
minutes later, when the house, by
unanimous consent, stood adjourned
until Thursday morning at 9 'clock.
Under special order, unanimously
adopted, the final vote will be taken
Tuesday; the time will be equally di-
vided and debate close at o'clock.

A LOST ART.

Public courage is in danger of be-
coming lost art. We mean the cour-
age to face the people and tell them
in plain language unpalatable truths.
It required courage and of high or
der, in Charles Hughes to beard the
corrupt managers Of the big insur-
ance companies and denounce them
for the sharpers they are. They had
power to injure him, both in his pub
lie and private ambitions. The ram
lfications of their collateral influence
were widespread and the meshes of
their nets very fine and strong. It
required courage of true ring in Mr..
Roosevelt to thwart the pork barons
and curb railroad impudence, and
even hint at the curtailment Of swol-
len and goitrous fortunes. These pi-
ratical interests had their emissaries
IN the United States Senate, and the
power to obstruct, and, indeed, to
bring to naught, the cherished plans
Of the President rests with that rich
man S club. It even requires some
sort OF courage to bait poor, bewig-
ged Rockefeller, both by marrying the
old money bags from hole to corner
an his hiding, land badgering him
IN court. Though only private citi-
zen the arm Of billion dollars is not
shortened that it can find no wea-
pom of offense and vengeance. But
IN all of these and like instances the
objects of attack are the subjects
OF public opprobium ard universal
detestation. That this feeling is jus
titled by dement's commensurate with
the venom felt we will not now ar
que; We believe it is, but anyhow the
fact remains as stated The crowd
is with the assailant, and approves
the assault, and every resounding
blow IS drowned i'll applauding cheers.
We are not deprecating the attacks:
we commend them in the interest of
morals and the general good. We
regret they have been so long de-
layed and bid them godspeed. We
merely observe that the courage re-
quired is not phenomenal nor of the
highest rank, for it runs with the
popular current of thought and re-
ceives impulsion from common con-
sent. 1t is an instance of following
the multitude to do good and seldom
outstrips the swift wishes of the
people.
The courage that is rare, and is,
we fear, lost art and employment
is to pull against tide and stream, to
breast the hill under the heavy load
OF right, with the binding wind in
the face. 1t is Of that choice and
unique character that dares tell the
people they are wrong, wholly and ir-
remediably out of the straight path,
and resolutely refuses to obey popu-
lar behests. It is amusing to notice
the perfervid, tearing indignation
with which the stump orator lashes
an imaginary and, If real, an absent
