A JUMBLING or IDEAS.

Leslie's Weekly falls into an error
when it confuses the Prohibition
Party with the prohibitionists in the
various states which have enacted
prohibition laws. With this enron
eous premise, that journal comes 10
the conclusion that the Prohibition
Party will probably hold the balance
Of the power in the coming Presiden-
tial election by having votes in the
electoral college sufficient TO turn
the result at VIII.
While the Prohibition Party has
done a great work in the agitation
against the whiskey traffic. yet in the
states which have adopted state pro-
hibition, the Prohibition Party is
numerically weakest In Georgia the
party received in 1904 $40 votes. as
against 1886 four years before. In
Alabama in 1904 the party vote was
612. and four years before 2, 1862. Ok
lahoma, the third state which de-
clared for prohibition last year, was
not in the Union during a national
election.
As a matter Of fact. the Prohibition
Party looks on state prohibition as
somebody else's scheme, theirs being
to have national prohibition with a
party to enforce it.
Throughout the article referred to
there is a jumbling of party and non
partisan work. After speaking of the
growth of the Prohibition Party, Les
lies says: The marvellous expan-
sion which they have made since 1904,
however, as shown by the territory
which they have put on the dry
list makes it exceedingly probable
that the ticket to be nominated at
Columbus viii poll at least 1000, 900
votes. AS already mentioned, St.
John defeated Blaine for President
twenty-four years ago and broke the
| spell Of the Republicans imagined
inyincibility. It is easily possible
that the Prohibitionists may hold
the balance in 1908 in several states
and turn the scale one way or the
other in the electoral college
That the party viii even poll one
fourth Of the vote in Georgia or AL
ALBANIA is an absurd proposition
There viii not likely be any balance
of power" in the electoral college on
the part of the Prohibition party
State sentiment has been very
badly cenfounded with party senti-
ment by the esteemed Leslie
| Weekly.

OF THE AGRTCUL.
TURAL COLLEGE

Considering the materials az hand
to work with. commemorate progress
is being made at the Third Agricul-
tural College. In a large measure,
however. the superintendent and his
STAFF Of efficient workers are handi-
capped by the absence Of proper
equipment
An agricultural college does not
consist merely Of grounds and build
ings. It should be supplied with the
very latest agricultural appliances.
it should have ample stock OF a
good quality, and it should not be
hampered in its important work by
inability to give the students train
ing along the most scientific lines. To
Go this it must be thoroughly up-to-
date in its equipment
There is no agricultural college in
Georgia that is better situated than
that of the Third District, or which
has better lands or lands more adapt
ed to the work that is to be done.
Those who have Investigated the
several district institutions agree in
this respect. 1t can be made a ire
mendous factor in the upbuilding of
the agricultural interests of every
county in the district. and assist
materially in the development of Am
circus. Whatever improves agricuI-
ture in the territory around this city
promotes the interests of the city.
Because of this Americas is vitality
interested in the success OF the col
lege and should continue the hearty

FREEDOM OF THE PHILIPPINES

Senator Stones proposition that a
definite date be set for the turning
over of the government of the Philip
pines to the natives of the islands
will doubtless provoke a very decid-
ed difference of opinion in and out of
Congress.
To those at a distance, and unac-
quainted with the actual conditions
existing nthe islands, it is an ex-
.ceedingly difficult matter to pass
upon. There is no doubt that the
great mass of the American people
would like to see the Philippines in
the hands of their own people, a
self governing nation under the pro-
lection of the United States, with
every opportunity to work out their
own destiny along the lines best suited
TO their peculiar status
Whether an arbitrary date can be
assigned when the people, or the
mass of the people Of the islands,
viii be equipped by education and
self restraint to take upon themselves
the responsibilities of government
is the real question at issue No mat
ter what progress may have been
made in the mental training of the
people of the islands it is safe to as
sert that they are still far removed
from the standard set in this country
under parliamentary government such
as it is proposed to confer upon the
Filipinos
Even with a guarantee from the
leading powers of Europe that the
liberty of the islands will not be mo-
lected if the inhabitants are given
lf-government it will be an open
question whether the Philippines can
be turned loose from the apron strings
of the United States and made to
stand or fall upon their own re-
sources. Cuba, so much farther adj
vanced, is yet doubtful experiment
and there will be at least a possibil-
ity of this country being called on
to intervene in that island at any
time for the next quarter century
Why then, may well be asked, are we
to suppose that it will be an entire
ly safe proposition to turn the Philip
pines over to their people five years
from this time?
Senator Stones resolution will
hardly pass, but it will awaken a
new interest in the future of the is
lands and will probably convince
the world that sooner or later they
are to become sovereign state.

sympathy and substantial support
that has 50 far been given TO it.
1t is TO be hoped that in the near
future the state will be in position
to increase its allowances to these
colleges. There is no work under
way in Georgia than is more deserving
of public financial assistance. So far
as Americas itself is convened. it is to
be hoped that whatever may be nee
essary for the institution in local way
viii be done cheerfully and to the
limit Of the city's ability

Ye Gods and little fishes! Col. Law

Ye Gods and little fishes! Col Law
ton, vice-president of the Central,
actually draws fifteen hundred dol
lars a year as director in the Allan
tic Compress Company! This is one
of the grave reasons advanced by
Commissioner McLendon as to why
the railroad passenger rates should
be reduced. After while the Commits
sion will dictate not only the traffic
rates but the salaries and wages to
be paid. If the railroads did not re-
sist the tendency of the present COM
mission there is no. telling the length
to which it would seek to go in con-
trolling them. Proper regulation is
one thing, but it looks very much as
though the line was being decidedly
passed some times and the public
not benefited, either.

Prohibition was declared to be

Prohibition was declared to be re-
sponsible for the charges against the
Southern's agent at Hiram, Ga, who
was before the Railroad Commission
as result of complaints by patrons
of the road The agent declared that
his accusers were those who wanted
side door to carry their jugs of
liquor out, which he refused to give.
To furnish a fire and water he said
would be to make the waiting room a
loafing place for the town He says
that the charges are spite on account
of his expressed views on hypocrites
and their jugs.

The Supreme Court has held that
a railroad schedule is not con-
tract, and that suit for failure to
deliver goods on schedule time does
not hold Governor Smith will have
to rehabilitate the Supreme Court, as
he did the Railroad Commission, I'M
til it meets his views of what equity
is. The Supreme Court must be fore
ed to work in harmony with Smith
reform ideas. If not, what's the use
of having a reform governor with
senatorial aspirations, postponed for
