Port Rates

In discussing port rates, Mr.. Brown
says:
'The port rate if applied, meant
exactly the opposite of that which
Governor Smith promised.
1T meant that eastern jobbers and
manufacturers could establish desk
space agencies in Savannah and as
they would be free from taxes and
other corresponding expenses and
fixed charges, undersell even the
Savannah jobbers and manufacturers
in Georgia. 1t meant that Georgia
manufacturers should not be allowed
to trade with Georgians-an anomaly
without parallel in America.
''The fulfillment of Governor Smiths
demand for the port rates. a demand
which the chairman of his railroad
commission says has not yet been
considered, would take off of the
roads in Georgia every travelling man
sent out by Georgia jobbers or manu-

DESPERATE TACTICS

Car Reed, of Maine, who ruled the
House of Representative with what
was then called a rod of iron, could
learn many things from the Highland
ed action of the Republicans major
ity which rules the present House
through Speaker Cannon
In order to shut off the Democrats
from their insistency on action by
the Republicans, a rule has been
adopted by which the House adjourns
automatically at p. NJ, until 11:30
a. M, the next day.
AS the country at large is coming
to understand more fully the truth
that Minority Leader Williams was
trying to force the Republicans to
take action on much needed legisla-
ton, the new rule adopted to pre-
event the Democrats from pulling the
mask from Republican hypocrisy
may prove something of a boomer
ang.
In replies to calls for needed legis-
lation, the Republican leaders send
back word that they are so busy with
the appropriation bill that nothing
else can be done just now. All of
this means that it is election year
and the majority is afraid to really
do anything except dispose of rou-
tine matters A real live enactment
would cause Uncle Joe to gasp for
breath.
But the inaction of the Republi-
cans may be made as fatal as an
honest attempt to enact legislation.
The Democrats have reported to
President Roosevelt for duty when
many of the bills urged in his last
message come up, and a very small
detection in the Republican ranks
would carry the measures. The only
way for Speaker Cannon and his CO.
terie to stem this tide is to apply
the gag rule.
Sitting on a safety valve has been
tried before, and generally with dis
astrous results. The Republican ma
jority richly deserves to be blown up
by the explosion.

HOke as A PrOhibitiOnist
(Athens Ba71ner.)

The prohibitionists of Georgia will
not forget the connection of the pres
ent governor of Georgia with the
Piedmont bar They will not forget
the advice he gave the legislature in
his opening message where he stated
that he was in favor of continuance
of the local option law. They will not
forget that he rendered no service
to them while they were fighting the
greatest battle ever fought by prohibit
tionists, but simply sat by and said
he would sign the bill if it passed. He
signed the bill after it had received
more than enough votes to override
any veto he might have placed on it.
These are a few facts for the admin
istration organ to chew while it is

HOke Has Poor Memory.
watson in The Jeffersonian.)

(Watson in The Jeffersonian)
The human memory is, proverbially,
a tickle jade; but we have seldom seen
her play such shabby tricks with a
great man as she has recently done
with Governor Hoke Smith.
All, what a time he did have for
getting, remembering, denying and
explaining, on the matter of the use
of light wines and beer" If any
body but a governor had got himself
so mixed up on that subject an un-
charitable and wicked world would
have said that he had been indulging
in too much of both the tipples which
he recommended.
But the latest trick played upon
the governor by his capriciOus mem
DRY is on the mater of the early prim-
airy. His campaign, in 1906, resOund-
ed with denunciations of the political
wire-Workers who manipulated things
in the interest of those who are in
office by taking snap judgment, at an
early primary. So late as November
II, 1907, Governor Smith was hotly
denouncing this favorite maneuver of
the wire-pulling ringsters.
The Jeffersonian, astOnished at the
as upon several others, made the point
on him, and endeavored to find out
why it was that the governor had
joined the ringsters and was now
favoring the early primary
In his Waycross speech the governor
(who seems to spend most of his
time away from his office and post of
duty declared that he had never de-
nounced a primary called as late as
June.
1t was the April primary that
Hoke Smith, the candidate for office,
objected to-not one on the 4th of
June.
So?
Let US do Hoke Smith no injustice.
Let us refer to the record and refresh
our memories as to what he did say.
Clearly, he himself has forgotten.
Turning to the speech he made at
McRae, only five months ago, we find
Governor Smith using this identical
language:
There are men now running for
the legislature, when the first session
of the legislature under existing laws
at which they expected to serve, will
not meet until the summer of 1909.
Il am opposed to electing legisla-
tors for the session of 1908 until the
session of 1908 is over"
Those were his words in his speech
of November II, 1907 Nothing said
about April; nothing about May;
nothing about June. He announced a
principle-a sound principle-that
candidates for the legislature ought
not to be elected in a primary called
before the session of 1908 is over.
In other words, the people should
not be asked to choose the men for
the legislature of 1909 until the legis-
lature of 1908 is over The reason is
obvious; the people should know how
their members have conducted them
selves during their first terms in Of
fee before being called upon to give
them a second term.

cussed, and the superiority of the
old commission with three members,

JOE BROWN ISSUES
ADDRESS TO VOTERS
CIear-Cut Statement of
Position on Issues.

Hon. Joseph NJ. Brown on yesterday
issued an address to the people of
Georgia, setting forth his position on
public questions. The full text of
the document would fill nearly four
columns of the Times-Recorder. The
following extracts are taken from
the address:
"In accordance with my platform, l
one sum of Confederate pensions, as
prevailed before Gov. Smiths admin
istration.
eff I am elected governor [ will
insists upon reduction of the tax
rate, which is now burden upon the
people, for a top-notch high tax rate
is not in accord with the spirit of
reform.
I'm the regulation of the common
carriers the people are deeply inter-
ested. Such regulation should be
done with firmness and good judg-
ment, holding equally in mind the
rights of those who travel and ship,
and of the stockholders who own the
property, and of the lives and just and
fair wages of the employees.
Gov Smith declared practically on
every stump in Georgia two years ago,
that the railroads were robbing the
people of $4,000,000 per annum in
exorbitant freight rates. Yet today
we find the prices of commodities are
higher to the consumer and not one
penny has been saved to the people
in freight rate reduction.
Gov Smith says that freight rate
reduction has been held in allegiance
by him on account of the panic, and,
because the railroads cannot now
stand the loss of that large a reve-
nue. They were plundering the peo-
pie of $4000,000 two years ago, but
he does not stop the robbery today
because the railroads need the mon
ey.'
LET me give some further convin-
cling proofs, showing wherein the
governor has turned the back of his
hand to the farmers of Georgia"
(Here follows an extended discussion
of the reduction in passenger rates,
and the shutting out of the farmers
from the use of the 1000 mile books,
sold at 2 cents a mile He also shows
that the rates to the farmers and
have really been raised) ITO the
farmers he handed a stone; to the
travelling man a lemon" (The last

of votes in the state. Under this
rule, if he receives a majority of the
total vote he will appoint Smith dele
gates not only in the counties voting
for him, but also in the counties Yot-
ing against him. This event, UNI
heard of before in the history of
free government would make him
more absolute master of the citizens
of Georgia than the car is of his
subjects in Russia. He will, if sue
cessful in his design against our
liberties, have unanimous conven-
ton, whose only duty will be to
register his will.

CUT COTTON ACREAGE

President Haryie Jordan, of the
Southern Cotton Association, has
issued a signed statement, in which
he calls upon the farmers to cut
down their acreage of cotton one
third. Unless this reduction is
made, he predicts low prices for
cotton next fall.
At present prices of 10 cents for
good middling even at this late
stage of the season, cotton growers
will barely make expenses. The cost
of carrying thus long has cut off the
margin of profit entirely, and unless
a rally comes, farmers who have not
sold will not fell any too cheerful.
If cotton cannot be sold on a basis
of II to IA cents per pound, it is
an evidence that too much is being
grown. 1t would be unreasonable to
expect the farmers to raise cotton
to sell for to 10 cents in order that
a cotton mill may be able to make
a fraction of cent a yard more on
cotton goods.
How much better it would be to
raise half the present crop of cotton,
and make as much profit as on the
larger acreage which it has been GUS
tomary to plant Then the other half
of the area heretofore devoted to cot
ton can be devoted to producing food
stuffs which will make the grower
independent, leaving his cotton pro-
fits as a net gain for the years oper-
ations.
In Kentucky some of the tobacco
growers have been taking summary
vengeance on those who sell to the
trust at a prices below that agreed
upon, and the new crop is being cut
down by the night riders by very
drastic measures. This is decreasing
the yield with a vengeance, but for
tunately Southern cotton planters do
not countenance such lawless acts.
1t is a campaign of reason and
common sense which is being waged,
and cotton growers are becoming
more and more convinced that to
cut down the acreage is the only
solution of the problem.
In the South an enlightened public
sentiment may be made to take the
place of the lawless methods with
which the night riders seek to fight
the tobacco trusts. And this weapon
is one which will bring no collisions
with the law.
Cotton growers should talk reduc-
ton of acreage and practice what
they preach. Those who are so sell
fish as to be willing to profit by the
sacrifices of others made for the pur-
pose of raising the price of the
South's great staple to a profitable
basis, will become known to thei1
neighbors. The pressure of public
sentiment could be depended upon tC
rebuke those who had been guilty
of such a violation of professional
ethics.
The farmers have their salvation in
their own hands. Cut down the cot
ton acreage and get living prices
Plant to the full, and see cotton sc
low as to entail an actual loss or
the growers.

Did His Utmost
CThomasville Times-Enterprise)


The statement has been made that
Hoke Smith and his administration
were responsible for the panic in
Georgia This on the face of fact
is not borne out. But one thing is
certain and can't be lodged, Geor-
gia is following the lead of other
states in her radical policies, did her
share toward precipitating this panic
upon the country. He is not wholly
responsible, no man would dare
made that assertion, but every drop
only adds to the quantity in the
bucket We have added our quota to
the general result and we have had
to bear our part of the suffering.
The question that confronts the
people of the state is, are we to
continue these policies of antagonism
and bitter opposition? If we do so
continue, the fault will be upon our
heads, we will be the ones to suffer
and there is no way around that
fact.
