The Herald can't do everybodys kicking
The older we get and the better we get-grow
ing in grace with increasing years. as it were
the less we feel like kicking But the
Herald is the paper of the people and for the
people, and any respectable citizen kick
wall in it's columns free of charge, provid-
ed his grievance be not personal one, and
provided further he uses parliamentary Ian
guage and signs his name to what he writes.-
Albany Herald.
Editor Pulitzer of the New York World ad
vses his editorial staff that the World 'shOuld al
ways fight for progress and REFORM never tolerate
injustice or corruption; always fight demagogues
of all parties; never belong to any party; always
oppose privileged classes and public plumber;
never lack sympathy with the poor; always re-
main devoted to the public welfare; never be salts
fed with merely printing news; always be drasti-
cally independent; never be afraid to attack wrong
whether by predatory plutocracy or by predatory
poverty"
Political parties are absolutely necessary in
some sections of the country and Mr. Pulitzer, as
affecting party fealty cannot be seriously consid
cred in this part of the country.

Editor Vaughn of the Mllidgevie News is a
long time recovering from the scalp he recelv-
ed in last summers campaign. In the last issue of
the News he says:
Governor elect Hoke Smith has been writing
for Washington newspaper and this is what
he wrote: If an election held with all
suggested candidates running without nomina-
ton, believe Mr.. Roosevelt would come in
first with Mr.. Bryan second, both far ahead
of all others. We are forced to have fears
about the purity of his brand of Democracy.
Because few swami to be's'' are for Re
publican president they must not presume
that Democrats are that way.
Editor Vaughn is ''forced to disagree" with the
governor elect by his prejudice against him.
Mr.. Smiths brand of democracy is the only
pure brand at least it it's accepted in Georgia as
the Simon pure.
The Enterprise adheres to the idea that it is
a crime to furnish liquor to minor or to an adult.
We firmly believe that a law will be enacted i'll
many states of the union within few years max
ing The furnishing of intoxcants to persons for the
purpose of intOXicaton, a crime. The following
judgement indicates the tread in that direction:
sEHere is a decision handed down by Judge
Artman, which is the first judicial recogni-
ton of the declared, inability of the law to Ii
cense saloon and which takes the subject to
the highest court:
"The question this Court has to decide in
the case is. Can the State, under the guise
of a police regulation, looking to the preserva-
of public morals, license the saloon business!
1t is the settled law of the land that any
occupation that naturally and inherently en-
dangers the health, peace, safety, morals and
welfare of the people is unlawful and public
nuisance. A public nuisance may be abated,
under the civil law, by injunction, and, if
the nuisance keeper fails to obey the injunc
ton he must face the court for contempt. In
all probability its remedy would be preferable
to criminal proceedings
IMMORAL. AND UNLAWFUL
SIN the absence of license, the police
power of State regards any business, the in
herent character, tendency and effect OF which
