Il he sensible voters OF the town
know that the crowd controlling the
American" party are as corrupt a
lot of men as ever welded municipal
power, and that they are bound to-
gether today not by patriotic pur-
pose, but from the same motive that
binds together the crew of a pirate
ship, pelf and blunder, that polite
ally not one dares turn his back to the
other for fear of the political stleto;
that they have as much regard for
each other as pack of wolves on the
hunt for food. If one is politically
wounded, they will rend him and de-
your him. The history of their cele-
brated peace conference in the Trib-
une office in August, when the hang
ers on, the beneficiaries of the graft
brigade, begged them for Goods sake"
to cease fighting and quarrelling,
when the imported human coyote,
(Sefrit), who thinks every man in the
American" party is dishonest, includ-
ing himself, was compelled to eat
humble pie and promise not to tell
any more truths about the grafters
in the council, when everybody shook
hands, while keeping their eyes ON
their political pocket books, is too re-
cent, and too fresh to be forgotten.
These acts, the attacks of the Trib-
une on its own councilmen, the back
down on the McWhirter case, tha de-
sertion of Chief of Police Sheets all
speak in louder and more convincing
tones than can Grumpy Bill in the
mightiest editorial he can write
The Tribune might as we'll give up
the fight. 1t is the biggest CRATER
in gang of grafters. It's charges
for public advertising are VIGOROUSLY
dishonest, being double what they
should be, and its schemes by which
projects for improvements have been
pushed through the council and ad-
vertised again and again with no in
tentions of having them completed,
passed only to give the Tribune its ad-
vertising graft are as plain as the
light of day.
No, Grumpy Bill will have to have
several additions built to his intellect
ual structure to be able to fool the
intelligence of the Salt Lake voters
any longer. From now to November
5, the party of Keith, Kearns, Lip
man, Cannon, Sefrit, Davis, Black,
Crabtree, Holiday, Sheets, Raleigh,
Bruce Johnson and others of their
kind will continually lose in strength
until upon election day they will go
down to utter defeat.

when in the course OF nulIidH
events it becomes necessary fJr
discredited party, that is neither po-
litical nor religious, but an unrecog-

forth the reasons, why after breaking
every promise it has made, it should

1--WE now solemnly assert, that. we
have been oppressed by an immense
Hierarch, who in a cruel and vindict-
i've manner has disturbed Our peace
of mind by accepting church tlthing
from people whom we have no deal
ings with, in fact with most of whom
we are not acquainted. We have
made several protracted protests, but
all Our protests have been in vain.
This unjust Hierarch stays at the
head of Main Street and wears long
whiskers which is more than we can
bear. We also solemnly assert that he
is currently reported to have more
than one wife, which knowing the in
clinations of several of Our leaders,
is rank injustice and eXcites jealousy.
1--WE have been oppressed, we have
been left out in the cold, have never
been consulted about church tithing,
and lastly we must be reelected We
need the dough- To prove these
things let the following be submitted
to an easily deceived city:
This immense Hierarch has re-
fused to account to us for the church
tithing he has collected
"He has not invited us to his quo
rum.
"He permits the publication of
better and more decent paper than
the Tribune.
"He has named for apostles men
other than the ones we predicted he
would name, which has made us re-
diculous, and caused people to laugh
at us.
"He pays no attention whatever to
frankie, which hurts.
"He has refused to assist our dad
Tommy to be reelected senator in
spite of the fact that Tommy made
three separate and distnc+ trips to
the sacred retreat of this dreadful
Hierarch to solicit such support. and
that he promised to call the Tribune
off from saying mean things about
him, and daily printing his picture,
but the awful Hierarch wouldn't
bulge, but said to Tommy, go to-
and Tommy has been going to ever
since.

HIGH TIDE OF PROSPERITY FOR
GEORGIA.

It is weakness Of human kind to
think, say, and believe that things
are not quite as good in our day and
time as they were in the old days.
Hence the belief which many Of an
other day and generation have that
the South is not today as wealthy as
the section was in ante-bellum days,
when the wealth Of the Southern
planter was proverbial, and there was
by reason of that fact established the
reputation Of the ,Southerner for un-
bounded hospitality and plenty.
Commenting on this phase Of hui
manity, Captain R. E. Park, state
treasurer, and one Of the best in
formed men lin the state in regard
to- the resources and wealth Of Geor-
sia, said:

Summary Of Ebents as They Happen

candidate for the presidency, should
the Taft boom collapse, as is predict
ed in certain quarters. At least a
state Of feeling may be brought about
that will render the president chart
table towards the aspirations Of the
Empire State governor.
Senator Page declared that great
deal of the talk about antagonism be-
tween the two men had been brought
about by indiscreet friends. He said
it would entirely disappear. He ad-
mitted that Governor Hughes would
be pressed for the nomination, and
said that he had not the slightest
doubt that New York would send a
solid Hughes delegation to the nation
al convention.
Secretary Taft will have part Of
the Ohio delegation probably, Senator
Foraker will have the rest.-Atlanta

Laborers Want Crusade ON Railroads
Stopped.
In an address issued by the execu-
tive board Of the Georgia Federation
Of Labor plea for more conserva-
tive action on the part Of state and
national officers in their dealings with
railroads is made, while more strin-
gent immigration laws, the passage of
the Beverage anti-child labor bill and
the establishment of the parcels post
are recommended. -
The greater part Of the address is
devoted to the discussion of anti-rail-
road legislation. It is claimed that
"the rampant agitation against rail
roads in the past few years has
caused greater losses to the people
Of American than all the strikes Of
the last hundred years, and all that
are likely to occur in the next GEN.
tury."
Waiting Game Played by Congress.
The statesmen on Capitol Hill are
playing The lower house has hardly
been in session three hours, all told,
since the speakers gayel fell at noon,
December 2. Some old bills have been
introduced, which various represen-
tatives have been pushing for several
years. The currency question is the
one uppermost in the minds of con-
gressmen, and an avalanche Of bills
dealing with the problem generally
and specifically have been introduced.

a Reggie buyer, received a warning

guards at his houses in Henderson,

The Dibrell-Glover factory, indie
pendent, also has engaged guards.
Mayor Harris has sworn in all the
men asked for by the tobacco men.
Growers Of the stemming district

ton Of lawlessness, and it is believed
that all threats come from boys or

cially probable since the Imperial

336 Booming Guns Salute Roosevelt
When Fleet Sails.
Norfolk, Va, Dec. 12.-There will
be more gun powder burned next
Monday in Hampton Roads than there
was in the historic battle between the
Monitor and the Merrimac. Every
one of Admiral Evans sixten bat"
tleships will fire twenty-one guns on
the arrival Of the president on his
yacht, the Mayfower, and they will
repeat the salute when they pass that
vessel on the way out to sea. The
admiral, his division commanders and
ship captains, are busy today work
ing out the details Of the program
for the president s reception and the
departure Of the feet on it's long
voyage.
The Mayfower is scheduled to leave
Washington at o'clock Sunday at
ternoon, reaching Fort Monroe Short
ly after o'clock Monday morning.
With the president will be Secre-
tary Metcalf, Assistant Secretary
Newberry, and Rear Admiral Brown
son, chief of the bureau of naviga-
ton.
The firing will be led by the Con-
necticpt, the guns being let loose sim
ultaneously from the ships Of each d.
vision-four ships at time.
Admiral Evans, accompanied by his
staff, will then come aboard to pay his
respects to the president and receive
his final instructions.
The final order for the start will be
flashed by direction Of the president
from the Mayfower to the Connectl-
cut.
Next will begin series of signals
from the Connecticut under the per-
sonal direction of Captain Royal G..
Ingersol, chief of staff, which will
bring about the actual movement Of
all the vessels. AS each ship passes
the Mayfower, about 200 feet from
the vessel, the presidential salute Of
twenty-one guns will again be fred

No Reduction in Stove Rates.
The Southern Association of Stove
Manufacturers, which control all the
stove manufacturing business of the
entire South, held a meeting in Bir-
mingham this week. It was decided
that, Notwithstanding the decrease in
the price Of iron throughout the coun-
try, the association will keep the
prices Of their product as at present.
The following resolution was adopted:
"Resolved, That after careful re-
view Of the entire situation and con-
dltlons, the manufacturers can not
find wherein the prices for the COM
ing year can be modified"
They declared that the past year,
with iron prices at the maximum, they
operated at a loss and will only break
even under present conditions by ad-
herring to present prices.
No Third Term for Teddy.
President Roosevelt will not be a
candidate for third term.
President Roosevelt has at last
spoken as to the "third term" He
is emphatic in his determination not
to accept another nomination. He
quotes the announcement made two
nights after his election, in which he
said: "Under no circumstances will
be candidate for Or accept another
nomination." and follows this with
the announcement:
~ have not changed and shall not
change the decision thus announced.''
Hughes to Get Support of President?
Washington, D. c., Dec. IA
Washington hasn't enjoyed such po-
litical sensation since the president is
sued his reiterated declaration that
he would not be candidate again, as
that which it experienced this after
noon when it became known that
State Senator Alfred r. Page, the
close personal and political friend Of
Governor Hughes, Of New York, had
spent nearly an hour with the Presi-
dent.
1t was natural that the interview
should be looked upon as an effort to
bring about better state Of feeling
between the president and the COVER

has not been we'll disposed toward

"Never in the history Of our great
state has it been so wealthy as it is
today. Some Of cur older people are
fond of saying and believing that
Georgia and the South were weather.
and times better before the Civil War
than at the present time, but the
statement is not borne on by cold
facts.
$300,O00,0OO Wiped Out.
ct have had occasion to look up
the figures bearing on this matter,
and I find that the high tide of pros
perity in former days in Georgia was
reached in 1861, when the taxable
property Of the state amounted to
$671 100000. Of this sum, more than
$3OO,0OO,000, nearly one-half of the
whole, represented slaves, and this
immense wealth was wiped out of
existence by stroke Of the pen when
President Abraham Lincoln signed
his emancipation declaring the negro
slaves Of the South freedom.
"When one thinks Of it, the strides
which Georgia has made in material
progress since that day are really
wonderful. Confederate soldiers re-
turned to their devastated and ruined
homes after the surrender at Appo-
mattox, footsore, weary and half
starved to take up the fight against
poverty. AS bravely as they fought
under Lee, Jackson, and other famous
generals and the history Of the world
furnishes no example of so Titanic a
struggle-the battle which they waged
against poverty and oppression was
even more valiantly fought. Under
the horrors Of reconstruction, the
burdens which carpet-bag govern
ment and negro misrule imposed ON
struggling and impoverished peo-
pie, they never lost heart, but strug-
gled along, finally coming into their
own.
Property All Replaced.
The result Of that struggle is
truly magnificent when we look at
the wealth of Georgia today. The
$300,000,OO Of slave wealth wiped
out by the Civil War has been re-
placed by property holdings valued
this year at $699,000,000-an increase
in value of taxable property Of $685.
100000 over Georgia s most prosper
GUS slave-holding days! Is there any
race but the Anglo-Saxon capable of
accomplishing as much, or any peo-
pie who could have done more than
our Georgians?"
Captain Park might have added
that the valuation of property for
1907, stated at $699,OOO,OOO, is based
on returns for taxation. The real
value of the property, as it would be
returned we're the proper machinery
provided for equitably assessing val
ues, would be fully one-third more

SUPERINTENDENT BURKE, OF the
Anti-Saloon League. so called, will in
augurate propaganda in Morris coun-
ty for the avowed purpose OF beating
Assemblyman Buxton. His brother
and understudy, DR.. W. M. Burke has
come here and will hold meetings
every night until election and says
1--WE are here to beat Buxton" While
the good people who contribute to the
anti-saloon funds may be satisfied to
have their high-priced imported lob
byiSt devote his entire Time to a BUSH
whacking campaign against single
individual, who starts out in his cam
paign with an assured majority of
over thousand, it is not compliment
tary to their business sense. Mr..
Burke has said distinctly that he is
not fighting for temperance but for
home rule. He says the Bishops bill {,
passed by Republicans, cannot be re-
pealed, hence Republicans are asked
to vote against Mr.. Buxton, and, we
learn, Mr.. Lyon also, because they
will not wear his collar and pledge
themselves in advance to vote for "our
bill." Ii any considerable number of
intelligent people are deluded by this
sophistry, it will be something new in
political history.

THE county candidates have made
up their itinerary, and will start on
their canvass in the county this week.
They are desirous of meeting as many
voters as possible face to face, and the
voters will find them in every respect
worthy of their confidence. Senator
Hillery's reputation for ability and
usefulness is not confined to Morris
county, but in every section of the
State he is regarded as one of the for
most men in the commonwealth, who
has made good in every position in
which he has been placed. Surrogate
Young also is so well,known that he
has no need to make campaign, as
his excellent management of the Sur
rogate's Office has made a friend of
every one who has had occasion to do
business there Assemblyman Buxton
is not losing any sleep over the efforts
of the Burke Brothers to make bluff
at defeating him. He was a good
member of the Assembly and served
the interests of the county we'll. Mr..
Lyon is not as we'll known as the
others, but where he is known the
jury of the vicinage vouch for his abil-
ity and integrity. The Republican
party this year may well be proud Of
its candidates.
