Rush of business" you know.
But as soon as the Methodist Conferences
began, there was a sudden ebb in that tide of
gubernatorial business The Governor left
his post of duty to attend these conferences,
and speak on Education, shake the glad hands
of the preachers, and thus lay up good supply
of popularity for Hokes future USE
There was nothing in it for Hoke at New

absent from his post of duty more than week,
for in the Conservation Congress there was
lme1ight and opportunity for Hoke to do
something for Hoke.
And it was in this Congress that our popu-
lar champion of 1906 showed how completely
his failure to get second term had cured him
of the fever of Reform.
Here is the Resolution which Governor
Smith advocated in Committee and reported
to the Congress:
Railroad construction in the south has been
extensive, but the rapid commercial growth
of that section requires an enormous increase
in its railroad facilities to transport to market
its many and varied products. The construc-
ton of such adequate facilities can be accom-
plished only by assuring the holders of capital
that such enterprises WILL BE SAFE
GUARDED BY CONSERVATIVE AND
CONSTRUCTIVE LEGISLATION, and we
urge upon legislators the wisdom of such a
policy and CONDEMN ANY AGITATION
LEADING TO THE CONTRARY WE
favor a spirit of cooperation between the peo-
pie and the railroads, and other corporate in
terests to the end that the required confidence
of investors may be established in the securi-
ties of the corporations of the SOUTH
No wonder that the Atlanta Constitution,
and other newspapers which fought the Re
formers in 1906 are chuckling over Hoke's
"cure."

One Refoymer Who Has Had Enough.
Once upon time, "befo' de wah," there
was man of the name of Gibson. Of all
thin men, he was the thinnest His skin
stuck to his bones with such desperate tight
ness that there was no room for flesh between
the skin and the bones. Enjoying the best of
health, blessed with a digestion which babe
defiance even to corn dumplings cold cabbage,
fried hog-meat and Boston pudding, nature de-
MED him fat.
One summer when he was feeling the need
of change from the monotony of plantation
life, this Mr.. Gibson INDUCED in the luxury of
spending few weeks at a famous Watering
place." whose various springs were sure cures
for every disease going.
The crowd of people at the springs was
large, and Mr.. Gibson had been carrying his
living skeleton around for couple of weeks
before his extreme lankness attracted the at
tention of one of the old negro servants of the
place.
This negro had long been in the habit of
yielding to his curiosity to find out what allied
the various patrons of the establishments and
such a case as that of Mr.. Gibson could not
escape his eye.
Selling the first favorable opportunity, the
old darkey opened up conversation with the
living skeleton, and by easy approaches led
up to the question,
"Boss, what Wuz de matter wild yer, when
you fust come heah?"
Laconically and seriously, Mr.. Gibson
answered,
"Dropsy"
Staggered for moment, the old darkey fin
ally drew deep deep breath, and said, with
earnest conviction, as he again looked Gibson
over,
SWELL Boss, you'se de bes' kuored man
whuts ever come here, yit'
This isn't much of a story, but the thing
actually happened, and it fits Hoke Smith SO
we'll, in some respects, that we couldn't keep
it back.
If Hoke ever was dropsical on the subject
of reform, he's been tapped, or something, for
he's the best cured victim of that disease we've
ever known
Alas That the fiery champion of the down
trodden people should have SO soon grown
weary of thankless task When the rewards
gave out, Hoke's reform fever passed away.
Eager for office, Hoke, in the twinkle of an
eve, changed from Clevelandite to Popuite
On the stump, how he did belabor the rapa
cious corporations! Virtually he said, make
me Governor, and will put stop to this
railroad stealage of $5o,ooo,ooo per year They
rob you of that amount annually in extorton-
ate charges. Put me in office, and | will save
you from the despoilers
Well, we took him at his word and gave
him the office. What reform in the railroad
situation did we get from his administration? ?
We got trebling of the expense of the
Railroad Commission, and just enough inter
ference with the corporations to make all Of
them piping mad
We failed to rip up the illegal relations be-
tween the Central and the Southern. The

The Panama Canal Scandal.
This sudden blaze of Roosevelt Cromwell
anger and indignant surprise at the revival of
the Panama Canal Scandal is rather funny
Apparently Mr.. Roosevelt and Mr.. Crom-
we'll have just learned that a large body of
American people are convinced that the act
ings and doings of Buneau-Varilla and VIII
liam Nelson Cromwell reeked with fraud and
criminality
Where was Mr. Roosevelt's attention, dur
ing the tedious days when that noble old
Roman, Senator John 7. Morgan of Alabama,
was trying to wiring the truth out of Cromwell
in that Senatorial investigation several years
ago?
Did the country ever witness a spectacle
more shameful than the manner in which
Cromwell defed Senator Morgan, refusing TO
answer questions, and hiding the scoundrelism
of Buneau-V afilla and himself behind the Priv
ilege of an attorney?
There was something to conceal, because
Cromwell concealed it. There was something
they dared not allow to crop out, for Crom-
we'll refused to give replies to questions which
were so suggestive of the existence Of damn
ing facts THAT CROMWELLS REFUS-
AIS TO ANSWER LEFT HIM IN THE
SAME FIX AS THE COMPREHENSIVE
FORGETFULNESS OF ROCKEFELLER
AND ARCHBOLD LEFT THAT PREC-
IOUS PAIR OF RASCALS.
Has Mr.. Roosevelt forgotten all this?
Surely the President does not suppose that
the country has no recollection of the manner
in which Our State Department aided Crom-
we'll and BuneauVarilla in manufacturing
revolution at Panama and in robbing Colum-
bia of the Canal Zone!
How can we forget LOOMS, acting" who
sat at one end of the heated wire in our State
Department, at Washington while the con-
spirators in Panama sat at the other?
It must be that Mr.. Roosevelt has never
heard of the powerful and conclusive arraign-
ment of the Cromwell Buneau-V crowd
by Senator A. O. Bacon, of Georgia.
This arraignment of our Government and OF
the Panama conspirators was not whispered
SANDER; it was the accusing voice of a mem
