THE RAILROAD COMMISSION con-
DENNIS ITSELF.

Some of the actions of the Georgia
Railroad Commission prior to the re-
cent election were hardly of a char
acter to establish it firmly in the
confidence of the people as an i'm
partial body working for the good
of the public. The Betjeman pass in
cident opened the eyes of the public
to the fact that the Commission, as
at present constituted and gov
erned was capable of doing things
in an underhanded way to accom-
plish purposes which it was afraid
TO attempt in the open because of
public criticism. Confidence in the
Commission was considerably shaken
by this step, and confidence will
hardly be restored by the announce
ment couple of days ago that ac-
ton had been taken by it on Febru-
airy q on the petitions from Atlanta
citizens for lower car farces and gas
rates and held up until after the
state election
Everybody will recall that in his
speeches in Atlanta during the cam
paign Gov Smith practically prom
ised the people there that they would
get six tickets on the local street
cars for twenty-five cents. Inasmuch
as petition to that effect had been
placed before the commission there
was reason to believe that the COVER
nor knew what he was talking about
and that his influence over the COM
mission would be sufficient to give
this concession to the public. 1t
was also intimated during the cam
paign that cheaper gas was in sight
Now the truth comes out that the
commission had passed on these mat
ters several months ago, and decid-
ed them adversely to the public. Gov.
Smith is accordingly put in the un-
enviable position OF having deliberate
y attempted to mislead the public of
Atlanta into supporting him for an
other term with promise of cheaper

GEN .dEID RIM AS ONE OF GEOR
GAS BIG FOUR.

The suggestion that Gen. Peter w.
Meldrim, of Savannah, be one of GeOr
gias delegates at large to the Denver
convention seems to have struck a
responsive chord throughout the
state, and especially in south and
southeastern Georgia, the sections
which he will more particularly rep
resent.
The First Congressional District
gave to the victors in the recent cleo
ton the largest majority obtained in
any district in the state. Chatham
gave the largest county majority. 1t
S eminently fitting that the First
District should have the honor of
naming one of the big four who
will lead the Georgia delegation at
Denver. No one in the district is bet
Ter equipped for the position than
Gen. Meldrim. One of the most elo-
1uent orators in the state, a man of
he highest culture, with an extensive
acquaintance with public men
throughout the country, and we'll con-
versant with GeOrgia's political views,
he is eminently fitted to assume the
role of a leader at this time in the
national councils of the party. Gifted
as few men are as a public speaker,
a keen student of political affairs,
thoroughly imbued with the spirit OF
the Democratic party, he will make a
most valuable addition to the Geor-
gia delegation and reflect credit up
on the state that he represents.
1t is certainly to be hoped that the
current reports that Gen. Meldrim
has been selected as one of the four
| delegates at large are well based
Georgia should assert itself at the
Denver convention. 1t should take a
prominent part in the proceedings
its voice should be heard in all Of the
discussions and it should not hesitate
| to express its convictions as to poll
| icies and leaders. A strong man like
Gen. Meldrim will add to the position
| Georgia should Occupy in the conven-
| ton. He is not a professional poll
tician. Although he has been honor
ed by the party in the past, in recent
| years he has not been an aspirant fol
= public place. But he has never lost
his touch with political affairs OF
/ public men and will be recognized at
| Denver as one capable of doing eff
/ fective work there for the party.
| By all means let us have men OF
| the calibre of Gen. Meldrim to head
| he delegation. The other gentlemen
spoken of for delegates at large are
| also of high character and undoubteC
lbility and there is reason to believe
that the delegation as a whole viii
| compare favOrably with the very best
| that is sent from any section of the
country. AS Georgia is the leader OF
Southern thought and action it is wei
that this should be SO.

Wives and Husbands


Times have altered since the de
olson of a North Carolina Judge il
1896 that husband might chastise his

larger than his thumb. Mrs. Marga

it was claimed that husband had

car fares when his commission had
already decided the matter adverse
ly and held up it's decision from the
public
Of course a reason is given for
Withholding the decision from the
public but it is not such as will
make the people less distrustful of
the commission as at present or
ganized and controlled. 1t is said
that after the decision, away back in
February, to turn down the Atlanta
petition, it was decided to hold up
the decision until Secretary Mont
gOmery could write to some other
cities for information. Now everybody
with any sense knows that Secretary
Montgomery could have secured the
desired information from all the cit
les inside of a fortnight or three
weeks, and yet nearly four months
were allowed to elapse after the de-
cisiOn was reached before it was
given to the public. The excuse for
this is pure bunCOmbe. The truth of
the matter is that it was not good
politics to let the people of Atlanta
know that Gov. Smiths commission
did not intend to let them have cheap
er car fares and cheaper gas. II
the decision had been announced the
Governor could not have held out
such a bait for votes. So the decis-
ion was withheld from the public UNI
til after the election.
To be perfectly candid, the whole
affair does not reflect any credit on
the commission. 1t indicates quite
plainly the need for a reorganization
of the commission When public con
fidence in such body is shaken, as
it undoubtedly is by such incidents as
/ this, the time has come to put it or
a basis where the people can have
/ respect for it. And it might be vel

Dudley Mays Hughes
Savannah Press.)

The Press cannot conceal it's graft
ficatiOn over the election of the Hon.
Dudley NJ Hughes for congressman
in the Third district Mr. Hughes is
a native of Twiggs county, was born
in 1848. He is a planter and has been
president Of the Georgia Fruit Grow
ers' Association, the Georgia State
Agricultural Society, a member of the
legislature and at one time was vice
president of the NJ. d. & S. railroad.
He is a man of affairs, a successful
farmer, a rare and Independent COM
binatiOn. With all, he is man of
culture, genial, generous and attrac-
tive. Two years ago he was a candi-
date for congress and was beaten by
Mr.. Lewis. Mr.. Lewis, the retiring
member is a banker, a practical bust
ness man and his successful oppO-
nent is a farmer. The incumbent has
been in congress for twelve years
and has defeated some of the most
prominent men in the district. The
campaign down there this time was
rather sensational. We believe at
that time Colonel Hughes carried a
majority of the popular votes, but was
defeated by the delegate system. Hon
Allen Fort, several years ago, was a
candidate for congress against Mr.
Lewis, but was not successful. The
incumbent has been able to hold the
place against all corners but this
time he goes down in defeat
