GOV. SMITH AND THE REDUCED
FREIGHT RATES.

THE same principle that would have
sustained reduction of railroad
freight rates in 1905 may not justify q
reduction at the present time. Gov
Smith, at Decatur.
Gov Smith holds that inasmuch as
the railroads have been seriously af-
fected by the business depression this
is not the time to slash the freight
rates. This is the gist of his com
ments on that line.
If this is his position, then we
should have sliding schedule OF
freight rates, higher rates when
business is poor and income impaired
and lower rates when business is
brisk and income expanded.
Gov. Smith and the railroad COM
mission seem to have learned, after
all, that it is not SO easy a mater to
arbitrarily manage the affairs of the
great railroads of the state from the
point of politicians wishing to stand
in with the people.
1t also shows how foolish it is for
candidate to promise to save the
people of state four to five million
dollars the next year on freight rates,
when he canot possibly know the
conditions that will exist.

AMERICUS MUST HAVE THAT
CENSUS.

Elsewhere we tell of the action by
the Americas Board of Trade, re-
questing the city authorities to have
census taken of the population in
order that Americas may take its pro-
per place before the public.
We do not see how the Mayor and
Aldermen can fail to grant this reas-
enable request. Americas today is
suffering because of the fact that its
progress has not been heralded to the
world. In the various annual publ
cations dealing with statistics of cities
it still is put down as having less
than 5000 people. We canot blame
the publishers. The fault is with Am
CIRCUS itself. If We have got twelve
thousand people and are not willing
to go to the trouble to prove it and
to advertise it we can blame no one
but ourselves. We certainly cannot
expect the publishers to send here and
have census taken if we are too
Indifferent to our own good to do
it ourselves.
Americas has got anywhere from
1000 to 10000 population at this
time. The latter is probably nearer
the mark. But we ought to be in a
position to state exactly what it is.
And when the census is taken it
should be taken carefully. We do not
want any fictitious figures, any
claims that canot be sustained, any
statistics that will be knocked to
pieces when the government takes
the census in 1910 What we want is
just as close to the exact number of
whites and negroes in Americas as
can be ascertained.
The truth of the matter is, this
census should be taken at least every
two years. The city has plenty of
employees who could be utilized tenn
porarily for this purpose without the
public interests suffering,
The police, assisted, perhaps, by
three or four others, ought to take
the census quickly. In any event
we ought to have the census, and the
best and least expensive way to get,
it is to have the city order it done
by its employees, as requested by the
Board of Trade.

Demonstrations Of the Soul kiss
philadelphia Pres. J

They are playing up the soul kiss
rather numerously in New York these
days. The newspapers are full OF
descriptions of how it draws crowds
and holds up business in different
ways and in different parts of the
city.
Traffic on an uptown street was
completely blocked by a thousand or
more appreciative persons who had
assembled to witness prolonged soul
kiss demonstration in one of the rooms
of a hotel, the curtains of which had
not been lowered; transatlantic lin
er was delayed by three-minute soul
kiss on the dock between a passenger
and a lady who had come down to
see him off; crowds in a subway sta
ton were held up and trains delayed
by soul kiss taht had to be pulled off
there at an announcement time because
it was so ripe it wouldn't keep until
il could get to some other and less
public place.
These are not all The local news
of the metropolis is a cold and UNI
seasoned failure on any day that ii
is not trimmed up with at least one
soul kiss, with all the frills, thrills
and paroXysms, in some one of the
busy boroughs Often there ara sew
eral i'll single day No section OF
the city is exclusively favored, and
there is no time of day when the
soul kiss is not seasonable, if not
reasonable. This system of oscula-
tiGn may have been handed out from
the stage, but it has n0t cooled in its
passage over the footlights The stage
has been outdone. The soul kiss as
described in the Wy id Snd bright rec
words of the newspapers, and as the
public sees it here and there without
paying for admission, is the only real
thing All others are limitations.
New York is a practical city The
soul kiss must be a practical thing.

as there is no money in it there is

A Warming to the South.
(New York World.)

The platform adopted by the Ohio
Republicans yesterday, which fore
shadows the platform that will be
June, declares:
We believe that the civil and poll
teal rights of the American negro
should be upheld in every State, be-
lieving as we do that his marvellous
progress in intelligence, industry and
good citizenship has earned the res
pect and encouragement of the ma
ton, and that those Legislative enact
ments that have for their real aim
his Acknowledgement for reasons of
color alone are unfair, un-American
and repugnant to the supreme law
of the land; and we favor the reduc-
ton of representation in Congress
and the Electoral College in all States
of this nation where white and colored
citizens are disfranchised, to the end
that the fourteenth amendment to the
Constitution of the United States may
be enforced according to it's letter
and spirit.
This is another plain warning to
the South. Back of this declaration
of the Columbus Convention is some
thing more serious than a shrewd
political desire to conciliate the negro
voters who have been disgruntled by
the Brownsville order 1t is the
expression of a strong and growing
Republican sentiment
The Republican National Convention
of 1904 advocated Congressional ac-
ito to determine whether special dis
ordinations against the negro in
Southern States warranted the reduc-
ton of representation. The conven-
ton of 1908 will undoubtedly declare
boldly in favor of such reduction, anG
some day, if the Democratic party
remains impotent, a Republican pres.
ident and a Republican congress will
make this reduction on accomplished
fact.
Thanks to Organism, New York
City is the only Democratic stronghold
left in the North, and even here Demo
cratic majorities are dwindling. Elk
Guiding the representation from this
city, there are only thirty-eight Demo
Gratis in both houses of Congress from
all the Northern and Western States
and in Kentucky Organism has just
cost the Democrats a Senator
The Republican invasion of the Dor
der States has begun, and if the blight
of Organism continues the South
will be left alone to fight its politica.

didacy would rehabilitate the party
in the North and West and hold Out

ment of success.
If the South refuses-if it imposes
four years more of Organism upon the
Democratic party-it will have only
itself to blame if the Sixty-first OF
the Sixty-second Congress carries out
the fourteenth-a resolution
adopted yesterday at Columbus.

The Montgomery Journal wants can
didates who have the courage, and
the ability and the power to do things
after they are elected. The great
trouble is that they all have
these qualities, according to
their utterances on the stump.
Our friend, Gov Hoke Smith, for
instance, was going to save the peo-
pie of Georgia four tor five millions
in freight this year, but the public
finds that its hunt for the millions
it has saved is about as fruitless as
that of the women for the needle in
the haystack

Gov Smith says the railroads OF
Georgia are owned out of the state
and then says the abolition of free
passes saved a great amount of money
to the people of Georgia. How he can
reconcile this puzzles us. It rather
looks as though it saved that awful
wall street gang" a lot of money and
took it out of the pockets of the Geor-
gians heretofore using the passes.
But the Smith logic is very often in
comprehensive

Next to having money, the most
important thing is how to take care
of it-how best to invest it.
A Banking Institution of this kind
cannot only care for your financial
interests in a careful, conservative
way-giving you abundant banking
facilities in every department of fin
ance-bUt can also give you valuable
aid and advice about investments and
securities. Open an account with

Savings Department and enjoy the
advantages that accrue.

We resent the insinuation of the

son is a political acrobat. Tom is a

governor of Georgia.

The Bellbird.

The most remarkable thing in con- nection with the bellbird is its power ful voice. It utters a clear metallic note that can be heard at distance of three miles. It's noise is like that pro- duced by blacksmith striking his an- vii. Sometimes it repeats it's notes in quick succession, sometimes at fairly long intervals. There is no mistake about the voice of this bird: it is loud and piercing and would be heard above the din produced by every in mate of the zoo raising it's voice at once.
 Except for space of naked skin on the throat and around the eyes, which during the breeding season is of green color, this bird is pure white. The contrast between the sexes in the bell birds is extreme, for, while the male is pure white, the female is brownish green. Darwin refers to the bellbird when he points out that white is very rare color in terrestrial species of moderate size and inoffensive habits" Pail Mall Gazette.
