upon the stage, Georglans will talk and
laugh about the merry nix-up which
Apollo Belvidere precipitated by two
huge plumbers. The first of these blum
ders grew out of personal spleen against
Little Joe Brown. The second grew out
of personal ambition The kicking of Lit
tie Joe out of the Railroad Commission
did not necessarily involve moral wrong,
but the readiness of our magnificent, beau
tiful Chief Executive to leave his allies
and his pledges in the lurch, and to use
the governors Office as stepping stone
to the Senate, while still serving his first
term, was blunder which involves char
acter.
Some of the Hol1e Smith partisans have
stoutly denied this charge against the
Handsome One. Hoke himself will never
deny it where we can get hold of his de-
NAL
Consider how those new rules Of
Hoke's Committee will work:
County units are to be obliterated, the
constitutional apportionment of power set
aside, the rights of the minority abol
ished, and the preponderance of the big
cities established.
Suppose the corporation interests of
the four largest cities combine with the
Liquor Dealers Association and put
forth a candidate for Governor who is a
man of good character, decided ability,
and intense ambition, Suppose that he
has "the gift of CAB" and can make
favorable impression upon the average
audience of unsuspicious people. Sup
pose that the cities go almost solidly for
this man, and that he also divides the
country vote fairly well-as it is easy to
do. What will happen?
The country candidate may possibly
carry one hundred country counties, by
majorities ranging from fifty votes to
three hundred votes, yet if the city can
didate carries the balance of the country
counties, and also the four big cities, he
would not only be Governor, but he
would deprive the one hundred country
counties of the right TO be represented by
The Jeffersonian. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1907-1917, 1908-06-04

men of their own choice, for he himself
would name their delegates.
Could any system be further removed
from democracy and sound principle?
See the inconsistency of it:
In the state at large, the numerical ma
iority would override the minority COM
pletelv, but in the counties carried by the
losing candidate the majority is not given
representation at all.
The losing candidate may have large
majority in twenty counties, or in fifty
countless but because he did not carry
the whole state, the majority vote of
those fiftv counties is refused representa-
ton.
How can this be reconciled to demo-
cratic principle?
By the new Hokc Smith rules, the
power of the majority is stretched to des-
potic limits, in one direction, while in
another direction it is annulled. Under
these new rules, the majority vote is ST.
preme in the state at large, while the mi
nority vote is supreme in the counties
carried by the losing candidate.
Who can fail to see that this is utterly
wrong, and that sinister purpose is be-
hind this monstrous departure from law,
custom and principle? j.
Is it wise to stife the voice Of the mi
nority, as the new rules do?
It has often happened that the mi
nority included some of the best Of men
men whose counsels were worth hearing
men who sometimes convinced the ma
jority that a proposed policy would be
disastrous.
Throughout the civilized world the mi
nority is given some representation, some
voice, some consideration Why should
a democratic state like ours be the first
to stihe the voice of the minority and to
deny it representation?
Is not publicity one of the mainstays Of
a republican government?
The convention system gave us that !;
the committee system takes it away.
In the convention, we could at least
see what was being done, and who was
doing it, in the committee system we will
never know what the wire-workers are
up to, until after it is all over; and we will
never be able to tell with certainty which
members of the committee are chiefly re-
sponsible.
In short, the secret committee which
the Hoke Smith faction has substituted
for the convention will be Star Cham

new tangled device which paves the way
for Tanrnany Boss in Georgia.
lust let the Democratic tricksters of
the cities stick to that new program, and
we Pops will clean them up, slicker than
a whistle.
A Democratic party which violates all
democratic principles and precedents can
not exist in this day of loosening party
ties.
Public discussion, free and fair debate
is vital in a democracy. The open con-
vention, where leading men from all over
the state met in council, was splendid
institution. It was a political High
School,; it was the Forum in which
champions of the majority and Of the mi
noritv gave reasons for the faith that was
in them; it was an arena in which many
an ambitious youngster won his spurs;
it was fitting in which strong men
jousted, with the people looking on, and
in this way the state often learned who
were her best men.
We deeply regret to see this free-leld
and fair-hght system give way to the I'M
challenged sway of committeeman
methods.
Much has been recklessly stated against
the nominations made in the conventions.
It is said that the corporations controlled
these convention.
Which ones? Give us the date. Which
of our Governors were foisted upon us,
IN THE CONVENTION, by the corpo-
rations? Which Governor became SO by
convention vote, rather than by popular
vote?
Give us the name-or invent better
excuse for your obliteration of the county
unit.

Looking back over the by-gone years,
as a man of fftv-one years is prone to
do, we can not but recall the figures that
appeared on the stage of the old Con-
ventions, where the majority and the mi
nority delegates met to register what had
already been done, and to debate meas
ures of future policy.
What a splendid array of talented
Georgians it includes! Those were the
days when Chatham put forward such
men as Senator Norwood, Bob Falligant,
Walter Charlton and true-hearted Joe
Warren. Bib was represented by
orators like Yves Patterson and Sam
Jemison, and by such able councillors as
Col. w. A. Huff, Nat Harris and Clifford
Anderson. In those days, old Baldwin
sent the brilliant Elem du Bignon, and
young McDuf6e sent Plain Bill Tut

ROBERTS DEATH EXPECTED.
Mrs. Williams Advises Police to Ask
 Husband Who Shot Companion.

Atlantic City, N. J., Aug BOA re port from the bedside of Charles B.. Roberts, the victim of the board walk mystery. is to the effect that the Bal timore millionaire's condition took a decided turn for the worse Saturday afternoon, and that his death is prob ably but a few hours off.
 The information has caused the pc lice to redouble their efforts to make an arrest before Roberts death. It is probable that an ante-mortem state. ment will be taken from the man and that an effort will be made to get him to admit that he knows his assailant
 Two statements, unexpectedly made by Mrs. w. s. G. Williams in her cross examination by Chief of Police Woodruff and the assistant district at torney have made the police more than ever determined to break the silence of C. E.

All the rest of New York and thousands of people from all parts of the country hurried m the same direction that they might see the pageant.
 The parade was headed by the grand marshal, George w. Wingate, and his regulars and marines and sail ors; in the second, the national guard and the naval militia; in the third, the Irish volunteers.
 The fourth division was made up of automobiles carrying the members or the team that represented America at the Olympic games. The automobiles were lined up on side street near the starting point, and when the crowd caught sight of them there was w;jd demonstration.

]. 8 FLtEI AT MELBOURNE
AFTER UNEVENTFUL VOYAGE FROM SYDNEY, EMPHASIZES
 GET WARM WELCOME.
CITY OF FLAGS AND BUNTING
Indications Now Point to Most En- joyabe Visit for the Americans from Rear Admiral
 Sperry Down.

Melbourne, Aug. 29.-The American Atlantic battleship fleet, under com mand of Rear Admiral Sperry, an chored in Port Phillip Bay this after noon after an uneventful voyage from Sydney.
 After passing Port Phillips Heads at 11:20 o'clock this morning, the ships received a continued ovation from shore and vast excursion fleet followed them 10 the anchorage grounds. The weather was beautiful, warm sunshine having taken place of the lowering clouds of the morn ing. which seemed to indicate dreary day for the welcome to the fleet, TOT which Melbourne has made such elab- crate preparations.
 Turning their noses toward the city, the vessels of the fleet were greeted by 50 of the Queenscliff fishing boats beautifully befagged and the Cruiser Psychic, a salute was fired and the cruiser dipped its flag to the Con- necticut, which was leading the van Simultaneously there belched forth from the American flagship an answer ing salute and her flag at the fore was dipped to the British union jack The small populace of Queenscliff has been augmented by thousands of v1s- itors all of whim crowded the shore to witness the passage of the Ameri- can armada.
 Craft of every character dotted the bay and there was a constant exchange of salutes between them and the American ships. Sirens screeched a welcome and cannon boomed from the deck ks of the Australian pleasure craft while the flags on the visiting ships were constantly being dipped in an swer. The procession up the bay was stately and gorgeous, the gleaming white hulls of the American vessels against the background of the green wooded shores making it beautiful spectacle. The fleet was 1G minutes passing a given point as they steamed in accurate alignment toward the city. The guns of the shore batteries and the ships resounded over the placid waters of the bay and were re-echoed by the surrounding hills.
 Melbourne today is city of waving flags and bunting, aside from the pro fusion of regular decorations, the cabs and tradesmen's carts are flying Aus tralian and American flags and men,
 sl.,. women and children are carrying the American colors, which are being sold on every street corner. The populace is enthusiastic to degree over the arrival of the ships and all indications now point to a most enjoyable visit for the personnel of the fleet from Ad- mral Sperry down.

The Easy Chair.

Only the Englishman knows the sci. has evolved the chair which recovers for its students all the comfort that has been lost In the day, all the hope that the morning may so inhospitably have barred, says the Saturday Re- view Watch, say, a Frenchman in an English easy chair and you will science. He is i'll at ease and out of sympathy with the chair. But the Englishman has no such quarrel with comfort. He does not, as the French man, sit at attention. There needs not, ill fact, be any doubt that Eng lands position as optimist among the nations is due largely 10 the appre- citation of the easy chair Had Seho- penhauer lived in England and been instructed in the art of sitting down he would have written dainty testimo- nals of the charm of human nature. Pope had no optimism, and ii Is not surprising that he complained of the rack of a too easy chair for only an optlmist can be comfortable. Whistler refused to have an easy chair in his house, and quite inev- itably wrote book on the art of mak- Ing enemies Carlyle lived among She hard angles of uncomfortable fur
 uture and wrote irritably. A mans literary taste, it may as well be said. Is not formed so much by his educa- lion or his early life, or his friends. as by his chairs man without an easy chair would develop an austere taste. He would read Bacon, Hume, Macaulay. A man with an uneom fortable easy chair would read Hazlitt, Carlyle. Schopenhauer Nietzsche, lb- gen. man with a chair which he had nodded to all the whims of his body would read Dickens, Lamb, Shakespeare, Meredith, Flaubert, Ten nyson. No one, fortunately, has a finer instinct for comfort than the Englishman. and so long as this is so there should be no danger of the de cline of good books and poetry and optimism. Only the man who has an easy chair can read the right books.

Blackhanders Keen Word

Chicago, Aug. 30.-Following the re- ceipt of two Black Hand letters, Mi chael Diapiunto, well to do. was mur- dered in his shop early Saturday. Dlapiunto was proprietor of q barber shop and was at work when a stranger suddenly threw open the door, shot him, slammed the door and fled.
 The barber received a Black Hand letter last May demanding money on a threat to kill him, and few days ago another letter came to him.
