ia, 116, 11S Cotton Ave
(Tom Watson in Jeffersonian)

(Tom Watson in Jeffersonian)
The governor, feeling aWfully good
and gay every time he thought of his
tremendous victory in 1906, had de-
termined to stretch forth his hand and
show his might.
He whirled upon our One-hOrse rail
road commission, selected his victim
and struck-not Warner Hill, who is
known to have a fOllOWing-nOt Oba-
diah Stevens, who has strong back
ers in Tom Hudson, DR.. Raines and
Yeomans and others-but Joe Brown
who is known to be physically
small and believed to be without any
friends.
Little joe" as the governors
friends, are fond of calling the vic
tim, was bounced upon, monument
ly and furiously, and bounced out of
his office within three weeks of the
end of his term. HOke Smith could
not wait three weeks, you see, Just
had to have Little Joes scalp, to
hang up as a trophy.
We did not think that Hoke show
ed good common sense in this per-
Torrance, and we said so at the time
But the fun of the thing came along
later. Little Joe quietly went home
to Marietta, and Hoke bulked majes-
tically before the American world, as
a triumphant popular hero who
might be vice president-WhO would
be senator if he chose to take the
place; and who, as matter of
course, could remain governor by
merely nodding his star-striking head
and letting it be known that he would
kindly accept the place.
That was just a few weeks ago
and now what do we see?
Really, we have to rub our eyes
and shake ourselves good and hard
to become convinced that we are not
in a dream.
Can this be the majestic Hoke that
is tearing around the state again,
pleading, eXpOstulating, explaining,
defending, denying, prOmising-do
all the stunts of the anxious candi-
date for reelection?
Can it be the all-cOnquering HOke
that jumps out of bed and hurries
away to laboring mans night meet
ing, in his home town, to defend his
administration explain his failures,
and to draw rosy pictures of what he
means to do in the future?
Alas, it's Hoke. According to the
newspapers, he made two speeches in
one day in Waycross.
Heavens! What bad shape that
splendid town must be in when HOke
has to wrestle with it twice in one
day.
In the meantime, Hoke's journal
istic champions continue to predict
that he will carry every county in
the state.

of the facts recently brought to my

Numbers of my patients whom

Of stomach trouble that the man has

PHYSICIANS NOTE VIEWS OF
COOPER ON HUMAN STOMACH

A recent article in the New Or
leans Item gives an account of the
effect upon the medical profession OF
that city with regard to H. T. Cooper's
theory that the human stomach is
responsible for most i'll health The
article is as follows:
The astonishing sale of Cooper's
preparation in this city has now reach
ed such immense figures that the
medical fraternity have been forced
into open discussion of the mans
theories and medicines
THE physicians seem to be divided
with regard to the young mans sue
cess in New Orleans-some being
willing to credit him for what he has
accomplished, while others assert
that the interest he has aroused is
but passing fad that will die out as
quickly as it has sprung up.

from a we'll known physician of this
city, the position of those in favor of
Cooper is we'll voiced. The doctor said:

The Railway Rate Trouble
Savannah Morning NeWsD

The address that Mr. Knapp, Chair
man of the Interstate Commerce Com
mission, delivered at the twelfth meet
ing of the American Academy of Po-
litical and Social Science in Philadel-
phia on Saturday is being very gen.
orally commented upon for the reason
that it was the most radical utter
ance that has come from the official
since the agitation of the railroad rate
question began What he said justifies
the inference that, in his opin-
ion. this agitation is about over, and
that there will be no further effort to
reduce railroad rates In the course
of his remarks he said that the million
and a half of railroad employees must
be paid high wages, and that in order
to pay such wages it is absolutely
necessary to permit the railroads to
charge rates that will enable them to
do So If that is the attitude of the
Interstate Commerce Commission it is
pretty certain that the railroads have
no occasion. to apprehend that their
Interstate rates will be cut. If there
is no disturbance of interstate rates
it is pretty certain that the states
will not do much rate cutting.
With assurances that the rail
roads will not be put into the hands
of receivers by rate cutting commits
sions it is reasonable to expect that
confidence will soon be restored in
railroad securities and when that
takes place conditions in the business
world will not be far from being nor
NAL.
Of course Chairman Knapp spoke
the sentiments Of the administration,
and for that reason railroad earnings
may figure to some extent i the
presidential campaign, particularly if
Mr.. Bryan is the Democratic candi-
date, but if he finds that sentiment is
with the Knapp utterance he will not
be so radical in his remarks res
pecting the railroads as he has been
at times during his campaign for
the nomination.

Put on the Brake.
(ROme Tribune-Herald.)

The reports of railroads are made
with great care. In the Railway
World a publication for the people
in that business, some figures that
make the beholder stop and think
are presented.
For instance, the net earnings of
the Central of Georgia for the month
of January, nineteen hundred and
eight, were $20,243 less than they
were in the same month Of the pre-
ceding year. This is in spite of the
fact that reduction of nearly $780,,
900 was made in operating expense.
The Georgia railroad earned SPLIT
less this January than last January
and reduced operating expenses more
than $4,000. The Nashville, Chat
tanooga and st. Louis earnings were
decreased $33,793. The Louisville
and Nashville fell $704,664 short of
it's previous record.
If there is no jugglery in these fig
ures, and if they represent true
of affairs something ought
to be done. Perhaps putting a brake
On reform" would not be bad
dea.
