The Hottest Political Campaign Ever
Waged II the State.

Atlanta, Ga-This state is just re-
covering from the gubernatorial con-
test which took place Thursday, in
which Mr.. Joseph M. Brown defeated
Governor Hoke Smith, the incumbent.
The campaign was the hottest ever
waged in Georgia and for the first
time in the history Of the state the
governor was successfully opposed for
his seat at the end Of mis- first term in
Office The contest was fought on lines
personal and general Mr.. Smiths
cause was fought through the Atlanta
Journal and he canvassed the state in
whirlwind fashion, covering every
corner. Mr.. Brown had no news
paper organ in particular to champion
his cause, but several in general. The
Augusta Chronicle was force for him
in middle and south Georgia and while
the Atlanta Constitution and Atlanta
Georgian claimed neutrality they gave
Mr. Brown the right Of way. He did
not make a speech during the cam
paign, but remained in his suburban
home in Marietta discussing, through
the press and campaign documents,
his side of the quetsiOn. Honorable
Thomas Watson, candidate for presi-
dent Of the Populist party, supported
Mr.. Brown
His campaign was managed by Mr..
James r. Smith. Governor Smith dis
missed Mr.. Brown as chairman of tn
Georgia railroad commission soon at
ter taking his seat as governor last
year. The official returns will give
Mr. Brown a majority of close to-
$1,000 votes.

GLENN AND SIMS ORATORS
North Carolina Governor Looks Toward
10 the Day AMhen North and South
VIII Join in Memorial Day.

Washington, d. CT look forward
to the day when those of the north
and those Of the south will join alike
in decorating the graves Of their COM
mon dead
This WIS the sentiment voiced by
Governor Robert b. Glenn OF North
Carolina to a vast assemblage gath
cred Sunday in the confederate sec
ton Of Arlington National cemetery
to commemorate Confederate Memori-
al Day. Governor Glenn and Repre-
sentative Sims of Tennessee were the
orators.
After paying warm tribute to Cen
era1 Robert g. Lee, saying that he
was one of the greatest chieftains that
the world has produced, Governor
Glenn made a significant reference to
General Grant every true southern
mau respects Grant for his kindness
at Appomatt0x, he said, and the
southland would not rake up an error
of the past to brand his character"
4 can trtuhfully say" continued the
governor, that / long to see the day
when the name of Abraham Lincoln
respected in every nook and corner
of the old confederacy, and when the
names of Lee and Jackson will be
cheered IN Mains, Massachusetts and
California"
The governor, in iustifying the &C
lion of the south in seeding from the
union, said that the southern people
did that for which they had nc apollo
gies to make, and what they would do
again under similar circumstances.
Governor Glenn spoke of the rapid
strides the south has made in material
prosperity since the Gloss, of the war.
He said the wealth of the south in
1868 was S2,160, 100000 while in 1907
it was estimated at 100000
Stating that the south has patiently
and faithfully borne its part in pay
ing the pensions of the union soldiers
Governor Glenn declared that this ma
ton should unite in caring for the con-
federate dead as. well as the union
dead
Representative Sims, who followed,
declared that the southern people
would never forget their ideals.

The Jewish New Year.

In striking opposition to the spirit of
Joy and happiness which pervades
Christendom generally is the New
Year Of the Jews. With the Jews,
who also observe the New Year for
two days. the days are not days Of
feasting and enjoyment, but days of
Judgment According to the belief of
every orthodox Jew. every member of
the Jewish race is tried on the New
Year. The books kept in heaven are
opened on that day. The record Of each
man for the year just ending Is looked
through and taken under advisement
for ten days. On the tenth day. the
day of atonement, the fate Of each
man for the coming year is drawn up,
whether he should live or die, prosper
or be poor. On the day Of atonement
the fate Is sealed and nothing can
change I: any more.-Chicago Tribune.

AZTECS' HORRIBLE HOLIDAY.
They Celebrated the New Year Witt
Human Sacrifices.

They Celebrated the New Year With
Human Sacrifices.
The bloody and complicated ritual Of
the Aztecs commemorated the return of
their masterful war god, the sun. from
the south, and the ceremonies carried
on in his honor occupied a period of
several days. The initiatory rites be-
gan before daylight of the first morn
ing, when the chief priest and his sub
dignitaries wended their way in SOL
emn procession to the top of their
greatest pyramidal sanctuary. Here
the high priest retired alone to small
temple, whose doorway opened toward
the east, and as the rising sun crimson
ed and purpled the serrated mountains
he knelt and sprinkled thickly upon
the marble floor the sacred meal.
As the first rays of the newborn sun
strike slantingly across the floor of the
tiny temple the Bonded priest beholds
a miracle. Family at first, then strong
er and stronger, grows an imprint in
the meal of the naked foot of their war
god. Upon this miraculous manifesto
ton the high priest announces to the
assembled couriers that their god has
returned to them and that the grand
festal occasion is inaugurated.
Unhappily the first feast rites were
Of a grewsome and horrible nature,
consisting mainly in sacrificing youths
to the gods. 1t is said that they were
Toasted for days previous to the cere-
mony that they might be In whole
some and pleasing condition upon their
last and the war gods first great day.
In other ceremonies human beings
were killed and dayed, and the part1cf-
pants in the sacrifice enveloped them
selves in the bloody skins Of the vic
tins, while they took part in a wild
and uncanny dance.
While the observance Of the new
year among the Aztecs seemingly pre-
dominated in bloody rites, they were
most likely confined to the religious or
der of the priests, and the great mass
of the people, with no faint of blood on
their hands, might be happy and revel

The decision of Judge Wright Of the
supreme court of the District OF
Columbia, in the case of the labor
leaders who, 1t is claimed, violated an
Injunction not to speak or write OF
firm which they claimed was unfair,
is as gross an outrage as any judge
ever perpetrated. The language of the
decision shows it to be incorporate,
violent, and prejudiced. Nothing
was proven except that Gompers,
Mitchell and Morrison exercised the
rights that free Americans are sup
posed to have, and that even judicial
tyranny cannot take away. We do not
believe the labor leaders will ever
servo the Jail sentence, but it they do.
It will be as martyrs to injustice, and
not as convicts. The speech OF
Gompers in court was noble and
eloquent, and no matter what one
may think Of Gomper's policy, bis
striking words are not likely to be
forgotten. They breathe the spirit OF
Hampden and of Emmett, and deserve
to be remembered by those who be-
lieve IN true liberty.
President Gompers stood up and
addressed the court, said:

law. would not consciously violate
law. It is not possible to say that

be permitted to say this: That
freedom of speech and freedom OF the
press has not been granted to the
people to say the things which please
but the right to say the things that
displease, even though they do a
wrong. There is much that would
like to say. but cannot do it now
Il may say that this is a struggle
of the working people OF our country,
and it is struggle OF the working
people for right. The labor move
ment does not undertake to presume
to be highter tribunal than either
the courts or the other branches Of the
government: of our country. 1t is a
struggle of the ages-a struggle OF the
men of labor to throw off some OF the
burdens which have been heaped upon
them; the abolishing of the wrongs
and to secure some of the rights too
long denied. If men must suffer be-
cause, they dare speak for the masses
Of the men of our country; it men
must suffer because they have been
raised to meet the sordid greed-even
to grind the children in the dust to
gain dollars-they must bear the con-
sequences.
