{ Atlanta Constitution.

1t was Governor Hoke Smith, 81
Georgia, who, according to the Wash
ington dispatches, drew the resolu-
ton adopted by the Southern Com
mercial Congress condemning agita-
ton and urging the assurance be
given to capital coming into the
south that it will be safeguarded by
conservative and constructive legisla-
ton"
Theinterest-int in the light
of recent political history in Georges
i'm these resolutions, when coupled
with authorship. will no doubt, be
sufficient to warrant their SECOND
presentation.
This particular paragraph, as re.
ported by Governor Smith to the con
gress, was as follows:
Railroad construction in the south
/ has been extensive, but the RAPID
commercial growth of that section re
quires an enormous increase in it:
railroad facilities to transport t
market its many varied products. The
construction of such adequate facil
tiles can be accomplished only b!
| assuring the holders of capital tina
such enterprises will be safeguardeC
| by conservative and constructive leg
islation, and we urge upon legislator!
| the wisdom of such policy and con
denim any agitation leading to thu
| contrary. We favor a spirit of co
| operation between the people and th'
railroads, and other corporate inter
ests, to the end that the required
lconfidence of investors may be es
I tablished in the securities of the cor
/ DOratiODS of the south
| The sentiment of this resolution i!
an excellent one, embodying as i
does the unquestioned attitude an(
opinion of the great majority of th'
people of Georgia and the South to
day.
1t is so direct in line with the ex
preston upon this same subject founC
in the Georgia democratic platform
adopted in the Atlanta convention o
June %, 1908, that it might be taker
| for an extension or application o
the statement therein contained.
Upon the subject of invested cap
ital the state convention of las
June made the following wise ant
timely decoration:
We pledge not only to citizens o

states, that all capital invested IL

whether foreign or domestic, corpor
ate or private, shall have the equa
protection of the laws and the equa

A NEGRO THINKER on R00SE-
WELT.

A recently published book that is
attracting much comment in the
North is that by Kelly Miller, a ne
gro thinker along original lines. His
latest volume, a score of essays I'M
der the title of Race Adjustment,
presents some views of public men OF
the present and the past far different
from the ordinary expressions OF
educated negroes.
This author is somewhat inclined tC
be an inconoclast At least he does
not feel impelled to bow submissively
at the throne of every pet of Other
leaders of his race He ventures tc
express his own thoughts in very
striking way His Characterization Of
Douglass and Booker Washington is
an instance of this. In the course Of
a striking comparison of the traits Of
the two men he declares that Doug
| lass spoke what he thought the world
should hear; Washington speaks only
what he feels it is disposed to lister
| to. Douglass's conduct was actuatet
by principle; Washington's by pru
dence.' Concerning President Roose
welt he has such passages as this
summarizing the views of many thou
sands of thinking white men as vel
as of the few negro thinkers who
are not lead in mental subserviency
as well as political bondage:
With him pure reasoning is bur
den and disquisitional niceties wear
mess of flesh
He has diagnosed the case, pres
cribed the remedy and cured, or Kill
T ed, the patient before the ordinary
physician has finished feeling the
pulse.
He dramatizes the Ten Command
ments and vitalizes time-worn max.
inns as il they were fresh pro,
nouncements to arouse the energies
of a lethargic world.
He is a man of instantaneous i'm.
pulses and is unhampered by the
tedium of logical conference. The
negro is by no means the only alter
nate beneficiary and victim of his
impulsive caprice.
Roosevelt never surrenders, but of
ten seems to evacuate his stronghold
as soon as he has demonstrated the
enemy's inability to capture it.
The plea to which Miller lends
himself on behalf of the negro, is
generally, that his self-respect and
manly opportunity be encouraged.
