The Platform Reviewed
Savannah Morning News.)

The Atlanta Journal reviews the
State Democratic platform in a
lengthy editorial article. 1t comes to
the conclusion that it doesn't differ
widely from the Macon platform, and
that whatever difference there is isn't
in essentials, except in two particu-
lars. The inference from what it
says is that the Atlanta platform pre-
sents no strong reason why the sec
ond term precedent should have been
broken.
Perhaps, after all, the chief reason
why the precedent was broken was
objection to the gentleman who oc-
cupies the gubernatorial office. If
the Journal wanted to bring out
clearly that phase of the matter it
couldn't do it more effectually than it
has All through the campaign at
tention was directed to the Governors
utterances that were calculated to
alarm foreign capital and keep it out
of the state. 1t was also pointed out
that the railroads were justified, from
the Governors attitude towards them.
in assuming that it was his purpose
to urge the placing of heavier burdens
upon them.
The Journal says that except on
the county unit and municipal control
of street cars, the men in power
practically blazed the way for you :"
That is an admission that there is
practically nothing reactionary in the
Atlanta platform. The conclusion is
that whatever there is of a reaction
airy character is against the Cover
nor, his Interpretation of the Macon
platform and his way of doing things
1t is possible for a Governor to car
ry out the declarations of platform
conservatively so as not to seriously
endanger any interest On the other

hand he may carry them out in Q
way to cause alarm and threaten dis
aster. All through the campaign that
preceded the primary the point of ait
tack was the Governor and not the
Macon platform. The vote cast in
the primary therefore would seem to
indicate that the people were afraid
of the Governor, afraid that if he
were given another term he would in
sist upon policies so radical as to
injure the state.
In this city. for instance, there was
apprehension that he would endeavor
to put into effect port rates, about
which he talked so much 1t has new
er been made clear how port rates
would benefit Savannah. Perhaps in
other parts of the state there was un-
easiness respecting other matters adj
vocated by the Governor. II, as the
Journal points out, there is nothing
in the Atlanta platform condemnatory
of the Governors policies, except the
two things mentioned, then the tre-
mendous change in public sentiment
that took place in two years must, it
is fair to assume, have been caused
by hostility to the Governor.

The Hardman bill, now before the
legislature, makes it a misdemeanor
for an adult to encourage a child in
immortality or idleness. The penalty
is too light. The man or woman who
is a party to acts of immortality by
youth of either sex needs a long term
in the penitentiary. There is no use
in wasting tenderness on such cattle.

city. There is no reason why the in
nocent Chattanoogans should be de-
prived of their favorite beverage to
protect our lawmakers from tempta-

Pays the Dealer Only
macon News.)

docs it pay to drink alcoholic
beverages?" asks the Americas Times
Recorder. Not that we have ever
heard of. In fact it costs most folks
the shirt on their backs. All we have
been able to learn about this ques-
ton is, that it pays well to sell 'em,
but not to drink EN-. You will notice
that it is the dealer that wears the
diamonds and not the drinker. This
question can best be answered by a
remark we heard a whisky drummer
make when asked to have drink:
Excuse me, l sell it and let fools
drink it"

Clocks That Strike Thirteen.

At WOrsley there are two clocks
on Lord Ellesmers's estate so arrang'
ed as to strike thirteen ut the hour
OF one. One of these Is over the new
entrance to WOrsley Hall, In the GEN.
IRE OF Worsley village. 1t originally
gave time to the employees at the
Duke OF Bridgewater's works In the

had the clock made to strike thirteen
because his workmen sometimes plead

dinner hour owing to the fact that
they did not hear the clock strike
one.-LondOn Graphic.

Whatever the facts of the case may be,
it Is quite evident that the motive in the
attack is a desire on the part Of the de-
feated Street Railway Employees Union
to get back at' the Municipal Traction
Company, which refused to recognize
a contract made between the union
and the leased Cleveland Electric Rail-
way, and which defeated the union in
the strike that followed. Public opinion
was against the strike and the strikers,
and the present movement looks much

The Wright Aer0pIane,

Three facts are Of particular interest
In regard to ORvuLE WEIGHTS wonder
full performance yesterday with his
aeroplane: The machine remained in
the air, at various heights, practically
an hour; It landed gracefully, easily and
without damage; the descent was not
made necessary by inability Of the fier
to maintain itself aloft. No more is
needed to show how great is the prog
ress the WRIGHT brothers have made
in their efforts to build and operate
an aviator heavier than air.
That the WRrGHTs have solved the
problem and produced a final type Of
flying machine it would be ridiculous to
assert, for the practicable aviator must
be capable Of use in wind as well as in
calm, it must not require an acrobat to
keep it on an even keel, and it must
be 30 constructed az to allow flights to
begin and end on any reasonably level
clearing. But a machine that sails
for more than an hour and maintains a
speed OF thirty-fve to forty miles an
hour Is no toy.
Unlike some experimenters the
WRIGHT brothers have devoted their
energy to the improvement Of their
machine and not to advertising them
selves. They seem to be hard headed
men Of business and mechanical Ok
perts. 1t was from men Of this kind
that the successful flying machine was
to have been expected.

The Wickedest Railroad in the
World.

Nothing too severe can be said of the
management OF the Erie railroad, which
has refused to carry the New jersey
railroad commissioners free Of charge
over its lines on an observation engine.
This is the season when a trip on an
observation engine would be most en-
joyable. The air Is not too chill or too
warm, the sun is bright, the trees are
green, the harvests are gathering, and
all nature invites a railroad commits
sioner to take an excursion around
the country.
To be sure, the Erie is no~toriously
hard up. It's managers have to skimp
and save at every turn, and its financial
affairs are the u Of grave concern
to its officers. 1t has need of every
dollar Of its income for current ex-
penses and the improvements it has
under way. Nor has any man W.
heard OF the slightest good resulting
from deadhead inspection tours Of rail-
road commissioners over any railroad,
good or wicked.
These facts are not Of the slightest
consequence. Indeed, they will serve
only to intensity the indignation Of
every righteous soul.

passage Of the act Of Catholic emanci-
patton in 1920 had as much right to
organize their church and employ q
given official nomenclature as the
Methodists possess. Nevertheless, there
was q fierce eruption Of nti-Catholio
fury, and the ecclesiastical titles as
sumption act was passed by Parliament
in consequence. It wa quickly recog-
nized, however, that the Protestant
panic was l%udicrously devoid Of basis.
Agood deal of water has flowed under
its bridge since then. Where tens of
thousands of English Protestants half
a century ago could be persuaded that
their religion was In danger and that
the fires of Smithfield we're about to be
refunded, there are but hundreds to-day
who can be wrought to a like feverish
anxiety. Nevertheless the Protestant
fanatics. although they have dwfndled
to a small minority. might be capable
Of disturbing the public peace and
Of infiicting deep discredit on English
civilization. 1t was therefore a judi
cious move on the part Of King EDWARD
to make It known that he would not be
in London during the present week, and
therefore could not, even II he would,
receive officially the Papal Legate. Such
a reception would not be incompatible
with the act of succession, which de-
bars an English sovereign from being
q Papist or from marrying a Papist
wife. The Pope himself continually
receives the official representatives Of
Protestant Powers. England, however,
has never sent to the Vatican a fully
accredited spokesman Of the Foreign
Office, though at one stage of the Land
League agitation Mr.. GLADSTONE did
despatch to Rome a private agent for
the purpose of enlisting the influence OF
the Papacy for the maintenance of order
In Ireland.
AS for the carrying Of the Host in a
procession through the streets of Lon
don, as has been arranged for Sunday,
while entirely unobjectionable in the
eyes Of reasonable persons, it might af-
ford aNspecious pretext for an anti
Catholic riot. For there is q law upon
the statute books which forbids such
outdoor demonstrations of the Catholic
faith. The original statute on the sub
ject was not repealed by the Catholic
emancipation act Of 1920; on the con-
trary. it was reafirmed therein, and
therefore 1t can hardly be said to have
lapsed by nor user. The right way to
deal with such a preposterous law is not
to violate it, but to get Parliament to
repeal it.
