street monarch crossed over to Great
Britain, and obligingly escorted royalty
around while the Queen of England went
into raptures over the Morgan paintings,
the Morgan statuary, canoes, gems, an
tiques, and so forth.
1t is said that Mister Morgan has
spent $Io,ooo,ooo on his art collections.
Why not? He stole enough from the
stockholders of the Central of Georgia
Railroad to pay for a little assortment
like that Through the kind assistance of
his former attorney, Grover Cleveland, he
stole, enough from the taxpayers of this
country in one deal in bonds, to afford
an art collection of 100000.
How much did he clear on the panic Of
1893? How much on the panic of 1907?
God, only, knows. The sum must have
been enormous.
What matters it to Morgan that he
beggared many widow and orphan when
he looted the Central Railroad? What
does he care for the victims of Steel
Common? What matters it to him that
ten thousand humble homes were made
desolate by the panic Of 1893 and by that
Of 1907? He doesn't care.
He must have colossal riches; he must
have palaces on land and sea, in the Old
World and the New; he must have power
such as no king can ignore, and no presi-
dent defy; he must have art treasures
which dwarf those of crowned heads and
which Queen and an Empress will ask
permission to see.
That's Morgan,-and he is but one of
the foul breed spawned by our darlna
bic system of Special Privilege.

They got the encouragement all right
enough, and when the battle-ships were
built the Carnegie crowd were caught
swind1ing the Government out of more
than $4,000 in one vessel. Admiral
Sampson made the exposure, in an official
report. President Cleveland did not wish
to discourage Carnegie and his associate
swindlers; therefore, they were let off
with fine of less than five per cent of
the sum out of which they had defrauded
the Government.
At present we are having an exposure
of another one of these scandals
The Holland Submarine Boat Co.
has been getting many fat contracts from
Congress. How? By maintaining an ex-
pensive lobby; by employing press
agents by approaching" members of the
naval committee; by wining and dining
members of the House and Senate.
We sincerely regret to see that ex-
Senator M. c.. Butler, of South Carolina,
has been caught in the drag net.
This gentleman admitted before the
investigating committee that he had taken
party of Congressman on a tug-boat to
witness a trial of one of the Holland
submarines on the Potomac.
The inevitable wine and luncheon were
served. Ex-senator Butler scornfully re-
PEELED the idea that it was improper to ask
Congressman to take drink
All, how it shames Southern editor to
see once proud Southern General and
Senator doing the dirty work for greedy
Northern corporation!
General Butler knows how wrong it
would be to ask John Smith Ito take :
drink" while John Smith is acting as jul
ror, in case where General Butler is at
torney. General Butler knows that bot1@
he and the juror would be disgraced. and
that verdict in his favor, rendered after
such "treat," would be set aside as
tainted.
When General Butter, acting as attor-
ney for the Holland Boat Co., took
those Con0ressmen into custody, and
wined and dined them, at the company's
expense, while they were investigating
the merits of the boats, with a view to
voting for the purchase of some of them,
HE DID WRONG. It is just that kind
of conduct which corrupts legislators and
taints legislation. Generally, the act Of
entertaining a Congressman at the ex-
pense Of favor-seeking corporations is the
prelude to the bride, just as the center
tanning" of the underground girl is usu-
ally the prelude to her fall.
Again we say il is -humiliating to a
Southern editor to find such a man as
General M. c. Butler, of South Carolina,
caught in such low-down work.
Aro4Lo@- foo So,
The Jeffersonian. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1907-1917, 1908-03-26

working for the same masters, in the
same way.
No decent, self-respecting Congressman
ever allows himself to be seen in COM
pany with Marion Butler, and the
fact that General NJ c. Butler was on
the same job fills up the measure of
discredit for the General.

HUGHESLL RUN, SAYS PARSONS,
II His Racetrack Bills Are Beaten He May
Try Again for Governor.

Chairman Herbert Parsons OF the Re-
publican county committee, who came
to this city yesterday from Washington
for his usual week end stay said that II
the anti-raoetrack gambling bills were not
passed at the special session Of the Legis-
lature it would mean that Gov. Hughes
would be compelled to be a candidate to
succeed himself Mr.. Parsons also thought
that there would be no question that the
Governor could have a denomination II
he sought it and no added that such re-
nomination would mean that the guber-
material campaign would be fought out
on the raoetrack issue.
These opinions we're voiced by Mr.. Par
sons when he was asked what he thought
the special session of the Legislature would
do with the bills.
Il don't know" Mr.. Parsons replied,
"but | presume that all the Republican
members Of the Senate and Assembly from
New York county will support the Governor
and vote for the bills as they did in the
regular session
Replying to . question as to what would
be the effect Of the defeat Of the bills Mr.
Parsons said with come emphasis, In the
event Of the non-passage Of the bills. |
can see no other outcome but that Gov.
Hughes, II he should not be nominated
for President at Chicago, will be forced
20 seek a denomination as Governor.
Would the New York county Republican
organization be in favor Of denomination
Of Gov Hughesl'
IF the Governor wants denomination
| think there is no doubt that the delegates
from this county will be for him
Asked II he thought the Republican State
convention would be likely to renominate
Gov. Hughes in view Of the developments OF
the last few months, Mr. Parsons answered,
Il have not canvassed the situation in the
State sufficiently to form a judgment that
is worth much; but il Gov. Hughes should
be a candidate certainly should expect
his denomination
DO you think that he could be reelected"
Mr.. Parsons was asked.
Il think with the anti-gambling measures
as an ISSUE" Mr.. Parsons replied quickly
that there would be absolutely no ques-
ton about the reelection Of Gov. Hughes

LOOKS Blue FOR CHURCHILL.
Many Think LabOrite VIII Defeat Him In
Dundee-Old Age Dole FAscO.


DUNDEE, May S--The electoral campaign
conducted here by Winston Churchill,
President Of the Board Of Trade, has been
fully as strenuous as that in the northwest
division Of Manchester, which lately re-
suited in his rejection by the electors.
and il has been more feverish and con-
siderably noisier. 1t closed tonight and
the four candidates await the result Of
the polling, which will take place tomorrow
The most divergent views are held re-
garding the outcome. Setting aside the
claims made for party purposes, however,
there is no very strong expectation OF
success on behalf Of any Of the candidates
The Prohibitonist, Mr., Scrymgeour has
a compact following Of teetotal fanatics,
but his election is out Of the question.
Mr. Churchill himself is credited with
a genuine anticipation Of election. although
it is believed he does not look for much
Of a majority. Sir George Baxter the
Conservative candidate will doubtless poll
a large vote, but the indications are that
it will not suffice to enable prediction
Of victory Some Of his nominal supporters
who. above ALL are anxious to prevent
Mr. Churchll's election, have forsaken
him for the Labor candidate, Mr.. Stuart,
because they believe such a course offers
the most promising chance Of achieving
their object
Some Of the keenest observers are con-
fident that Mr. Stuart will be the winner
He il popular with the workingmen, to
whom the labor programme appeals more
strongly than the policy of either Of the
traditional constitutional parties. Mr.
Churchill in his speeches to-day worked
the budget for all il was worth 70 win the
workingmen, but it seems to have been
poor card to play. Statistics show that
the average expectation Of life amonG the
Dundee mill workers is below fifty years
It ia no wonder therefore that the Labor
party to-day issued derisive posters saying
THE great Liberal budget Old age pen
sions when you are dead
Whatever happens tomorrow. 1t is safe
to predict that there will be no Liberal
landslide as there was in 1908, when Mr.
Robertson, Liberal now elevated TO the
peerage leaving the vacancy in Dundee
defeated the Labor candidate by 2,ii3 and
the Conservative candidate by SAN votes
