LITTLE JOE NO WOULD.BE GAR

1t is a pleasure to note that there
is nothing of the would-be political
czar about Little joe" Georgia's next
governor. There is to be no effort
on his part to install himself in the
position of boss of Georgia, no at
tempt to put his foot on the neck
of the democratic party in the state
and dictate to it what it shall or
shall not do in national politics.
When interviewed as to the course
of the party in Georgia with regard to
national politics, the party policies
and party nominees, Mr. Brown frank
ly and promptly stated that it was
no intention on his part to interfere
in such matters at all. He does not
propose to assume to name the dele
gates to the Denver convention or to
say whom they shall support or what
sort of a platform they shall put the
candidates upon.
This is refreshing after the pro-
gram that had been laid down by the
Smith clique, a program that was to
permit the governor to absolutely
domineer in all such matters and re-
duce the party in Georgia to the
position of merely endorsing what
ever the little ring saw fit to fasten
upon it.
Little Joe" is showing his sound
common sense, the same conservatism
| that has marked him during the en-
tire campaign in his course as re-
CARDS affairs of the party. There
is no doubt that in purely state af-
fairs there will be the same endeavo1
| to avoid anything that smacks OF
the political tyrant and demagogue
The more we hear from Little joe
| the more convinced we become that
the people made an eminently wise
| choice on last Thursday

Brown is Nominated
Macon News.)

Joe Brown swept the state in the
Democratic white primary held yes
terday for the nomination of a gov
ernor of Georgia. The selection OF
yesterday is a complete reversal OF
conditions, opinions and policies OF
two years ago. 1t is probable that
no more complete change has ever
come to any state in such a short
time as two years.
But it has come and that is all
there is to it,
Many things conspired to defeat
Hoke Smith. The most potent fac
tor in his defeat was the business
panic that swept the United States.
The News still contends that Mr..
Smith was in no wise responsible
for this depression, that it was world
wide, but when smart people under
took to impress the contrary on peo-
pie who were out OF work, doing lit
the business and short on money. it
spread like wiIdfre, with the result
that Mr.. Brown was Overwhelmingly
elected.
Mr.. Brown is the choice of the peo-
pie of Georgia That settles it. The
News is Democratic and knows how
to bow to the will of the majority.
Grow is not bad eating when your
conscience is clear, digestion good
and your good fellowship ha S not
been impaired. We hereby eat our
dish without grimace and without
resentment
Business in Georgia has been SER
iously interfered with by the heat OF
the campaign. The fight has been
fought and won by the Brown peo-
pie, the contentious are all settled.
now let's get busy catch up the slack
and do well because Georgia is

STATE PRESS ON

The Political Revolution and Its
Cause
atlanta Constitutions

The Overwhelming reversal OF
popular sentiment in Georgia on
Thursday of last week was nothing
short of a revolution.
There are deep-lying causes back
Of so sweeping a revulsiOn of the
public will, recorded in an interval
amazingly brief.
Citizenship takes precedence OF
craftsmanship; and the morals of the
latest gubernatOrial contest are
heavy with meaning.
The victorious campaign of 1906
was based mainly, upon these issues
1. That most potent and irresist-
ible of all appeals-the appeal to
the pocket-bOok. 1t was positively as
serted that all classes of voters in
Georgia were being mulcted, heavily
each year, in eXOrbitant railroad
charges, freight and passenger. The
sum, extra was cited-$4 900, 900. The
farmers were also told that $4,000
unjust toll was being taken on ship
ments of their cotton Restitution
was promised, with passionate en-
phasis and reiteratiOn.
1t is strange that this argument

One moral the Philadelphia Record
draws from the Georgia and other
recent state elections is that almost
everywhere the people are alert to

uniform primary laws to divest self
constituted bosses of their control Ov-

The English courts have held that
scenery belongs to the public and
that although it may be on ground that

be allowed reasonable access to it.
Somehow they have way of protect

erican millionaire would buy up
Niagara, if he could, fence it off and
post guards with rifles to keep the
public away.

1t is said that Senator Newlands and

A STRIKING

The reception rendered the two candi-
dates for the United States senate from
Nevada in their tour of the state gives
a very good indication of the probable
result of the November election.
Everywhere Senator Flanagan goes
he meets with a cordial and %hospitable
reception. His frank, manly statements
are listened to with deep interest by
the voters, and after his meetings have
adjourned he is entertained in a social
way until the departure of his train.
In striking contrast is the reception
being rendered Newlands. With the
prestige of being the present incumbent
OF the Office, his auditors consist for
the most part of the people who would
ordinarily turn out to see a United
States senator as a matter of curiosity.
His first appearance in Humboldt coun-
ty, at Lovelock on Monday, must have
had a very depressing effect on a man
of Senator Newlands' temperament.
The train he was advertised to arrive
on was on time, still the multitudes that
greeted him as he alighted consisted of
the two journalists of the town and one
lone Democrat. He dined in company
with a strange commercial traveller, and
in the evening was greeted by a small
and administrative audience.

There was a lively debate over the
provision giving discretion to the
heads of the departments to remove
or reduce incapacitated employees of
the government. The provision went
out on point of order, although a
new one was adopted declaring the
appropriation not available for the
compensation of any persons incapa-
citated from performing the service
for which they are employed. Mr..
Tawney took occasion to remark that
the original provision Of the bill was
not directed at superannuated clerks
or employees but only at those who re-

itated.

The workings of municipal supervi-
sion, adopted in Chicago, both in the
matter of street cars and telephones,
instead of municipal ownership. had
a practical exposition in the annual
report of the Chicago Telephone COM
pany. '"The city may be looked upon
as managing partner Jointly inter-
ested in the welfare of the company in
all of it's relations" President Wheel
er said to his stockholders He add
ed: "All questions arising as to the
application of the ordinance are sub
mitted to the city officials. The or
dinance provides for a separate set of
books for the city and for the inspec-
ton and direction by the city of the
company's accounting and construc-
ton" During last year S1,S47 tele-
phones were added to the Chicago sys-
TEN, bringing the total in the system
up to 202,6S1. The company's surplus
was increased by $4,O36,60s, a sum
that during ten years had been charg-
ed off in excess of depreciation, bring
ing the total investment in Chicago's
telephone system up to $24,413.4S7.
Against this investment the company
has issued no bonds, and stock
amounting to but $16,9OS, 500 quite
a unique fact these days in financing.
