WHO IS SHERMAN?

For Vice-President the Republic
cans have nominated Congressman
James Schoolcraft Sherman, of New
York The ticket will be: Taft and
Sherman Ohio and New York have
the honors 1t was evidently consid-
cred the part of wisdom to put New
Yorker on the ticket so as to make
the chances of carrying that state
more secure.
While the name of Sherman is
painfully well known to Georgia, the
particular scion named is compare
lively unknown in this section. In
Men of America" the information is
given that Sherman is a congress
man and lawyer, president of the
Utica Trust and Deposit company He
has been Mayor of Utica, chairman of
the state convention and a member
of congress for ten terms.
Americus times-recorder. [volume] (Americus, Ga.) 1891-current, 1908-06-21

AS might have been expected, the
recent declaration as to the religious
views of candidate Taft are bringing
out a lot of historical data about the
affiliations of presidents of the past.
1t is not improbable that during the
campaign the public will get pretty
literally educated on this line all
the way from Washington to Roose-
welt Already there are bits appear
ing as to the convictions of Washing
ton, one of them being the following
from the annals of Thomas Jeffer-
SON."
DIR. Rush tells me that he had it
| from Asa Green that when the clergy
addressed Gen. Washington on his
departure from the Government it
was observed in their consultation
that he had never on any occasion
said word to the public which show
ed a belief in the Christian religion
and they thought they should SO
pen their address as to force him at
| length to declare publicly whether
| he was a Christian or not They
| did So However he observed, the
old fox was too cunning for them
He answered every article of their adj
dress particularly except that, which
he passed over without notice. Rush
observes he never did say a word or
the subject in any of his public pa
pers, except in his valedictory letter
| to the Governors of the tSates when
| he resigned his commission in the
| army, wherein he speaks of the be-
nign influence of the Christian reli-
| gion.
q know that Gouverneur Morris
who pretended to be in his secrets
and believed himself to be so, has
often told me that Gen. Washington
believed no more of that system thar
| he himself did"

The Death Penalty
Chicago Record-Herald.

Chicago RecOrd-Herald)
The Billik case, like every other
capital case in which doubt of the
guilt of the defendent is entertained
by some sections of the community,
has led to suggestions that the death
penalty ought to be abolished. We
are told that it does not operate as a
deterrent, that it is repugnant to
civilized sentiments and that it is a
relic of barbarism.
A committee of the New Jersey leg
islature recently completed an in
vestigation of this subject and sub
mitted an interesting report. It's
main conclusion is that it would not
be wise to do away entirely with
capital punishment, and that in cases
of revolving and heinous crimes it is
proper to impose it. The committees
Investigations in Europe disclosed the
following facts AMI opinions:
Observation-Disclosures of conviction
is stimulus to capital crime.
Holland-No death penalty since
1870.
SWeden-NOne since 1864.
Finland-None since 1924.
Italy-Disuse of death penalty fol-
lowed by diminution of capital Of
lenses.
Belgium-Death penalty abolished
1868.
France-Recent increase in crime
has caused agitation for restoration
Ct capital punishment
In this country but few states have
abolished the death penalty, and
there is, according to the committee,
less agitation against it than there
was years ago. The states which have
kept the penalty and are now practi-
cally free from agitation to abolish
it are numerous. The list includes
Illinois, Ohio, Virginia, Maryland and
Wyoming. In some states there is
agitation, but it only tends to develop
strong opposition to the proposed
change.
On the other hand, the states that
have abandoned the death penalty do
not seem to regret their action Maine
and Wisconsin get along without it
and report no increase in capital
crime. In Indiana the statute for the
extreme punishment is a dead letter,
and no bad effects are traced to the
suspension
1t is probable that the foes of capt.
tai punishment would meet with more
encouragement if the pardoning pow
er We're not abused as often as it is,
II habitual criminals were Indefinite
ly detained and segregated, and if the
whole administration of justice were
firmer, more efficient and more inn
preSSive.

A Big Stick Convention
(New York World.)

Bruised and stiff from their painful
drubbing, the Republican minority in
Chicago bow to defeat They are not
without sympathy from the more
plant majority Though there may
be the outward appearance of cheer
fulness, the convention moves NUT
tering to its task.
Beyond all others that any Ameri-
can political party has ever held, this
is a cut-and-dried convention. Pen,
bludgeon, guide-post or baton by
turns, the Big Stick has dominated
the situation
1t was the Big Stick that prodded
! the Federal employees, in defiance of
civil-service reform law or principle
into frantic activity for Taft; tina
marshalled the delegates; that club
bed contestants out of court The
Big Stick wrote the keynote speech
| selected the committees of the con-
yention, called it to order, directs its
nominal deliberations. Familiar Big
phrases and ideas fill the platform
| that was given out in Chicago before
| the convention had even assembled
and the Big Stick brands this same
| platform, full of praise of the Big
| Sticks past performances and
promises for the future, as a "mere
| tentative draft" The Big Stick
scrawls on the convention door the
names of approved Vice-Presidential
| candidates, to the impotent anger OF
| Republican managers, and nails down
the anti-injunction plank while con-
sentative leaders shrek themselves
| hoarse in vain protest. The Big Stick
waved over apprehensive monOpolies
will provide the campaign funds; it
will admonish the speIlbinders, lead
the bands, conduct the campaign for
both parties and wear the credit of the
| result
Was ever a situation so extraordi-
nary seen or dreamed in politics?
Americus times-recorder. [volume] (Americus, Ga.) 1891-current, 1908-06-21

The statement made by State
School Commissioner Pound with re-
gard to the status and pay of the
teachers of the elementary country
schools of the state is pathetic and
well calculated to arouse a sentiment
throughout Georgia that will result in
the raising of the standard of the
teachers and their more adequate
compensation.
At the present time the average
pay of the teacher in the country
district school of Georgia is about
$3.50 a school year, of six months.
The money is never paid promptly
and the teachers frequently lose ten
to fifteen per cent of this pittance by
having their claims discounted. On
their meagre salaries it is impossible
for the teachers to make any pre-
tence of keeping up with the intel
lectual trend of the day, of deyoting
any time to their own mental inn
provement, of pushing their studies
so that they may be rendered more
capable in their profession. Teaching
is a drudgery to them for which they
receive the wages of a common labor
err.
In the large cities and towns of
the state the school systems are
admirable. In a few of the better ag-
ricultural districts local taxation has
supplemented the other fund and the
grade of teachers has been improved
But as a general thing the teachers
are deficient in knowledge and abili-
: ty and incapable of imparting instruc-
ton because of their lack of training
The chief remedy is in raising the
1pay. Good men and women cannot
long be held in such bondage as is
indicated by Commissioner Pounds
figures. Only those whose ambition
and possibilities have been reduced to
a very low ebb can be induced to re-
main as teacher any longer because
they have not either sufficient ability
or sufficient push to get out of SO
unpromising a line of work.
With Commissioner Pounds re-
port before it, and the facts sc
strongly pointed out it is difficult to
see how the legislature can avoid
making some effort to increase the
school fund of the state and start a
movement toward improving the char
acter and efficiency of the teachers
1t is true there are pressing calls for
money from the state from various
commendable causes, but no cause
strikes home to such an extent as
the education of the children. How
the state, under the existing circum-
stances, can consider the matter OF
abolishing the convict lease system
and loading itself up with additional
burdens in the care of the convicts
we fail to see. Calmly speaking, the
little children of Georgia are entitled
to as much sympathy as the con-
victs, and the state could far better
afford to raise the per capita tax
for its convicts and increase the edu-
cational expenditures than to dis
pense with the lease system and en-
bark on methods of handling the
prisoners the results of which would
be unknown and perhaps far more
costly than profitable.
