REA1 MEN 10 THE FRONT!
QWashington Post.)

This is the time for sympathy and
no time for exultation on the part of
men engaged in the national cam
paign The derelicts must look out
for themselves, whether they fall
through incompetence or corruption
Neither the Republican nor the Demo
cratic party can afford to carry any
corpses on its back, or to linger over
the moribund
Mr. Taft and Mr.. Bryan must shake
off every incompetent and corrupt
man connected with their campaign,
as soon as the fierce test reveals
the weakness of such men. The pub
lie is not in the mood to palter with
detectives in morals or brains. 1t
wants clean, square, able contest,
between clean and able men. 1t
does not want any double-dealing,
evasion, or covering up of the truth.
1t will not tolerate anything that
looks like an attempt to protect
weaklings or shield crooks.
The people are wide awake now,
watching the national campaign with
an eye that cannot be deceived. They
are demanding more than they ever
demanded before. They want public
lty OF campaign receipts and eXpen-
ditures- publicity before the election
so that there will be no mortgage on
the next administration in the shape
Of promises to campaign contributors.
They want open speech on the issues,
frank, flat-footed expressions that
cannot be misunderstood. They want
all rotten, weak, and dead timber
eliminated from the campaign. They
want yigor, and courage, and pro-
gress.
The fight for the Presidency is a
mans fight Let is be conducted by
real men, in behalf of real men! Let
the cripples and lame ducks go to
the rear and get out of sight. The
candidate or the party that heSitates
or equivocates in the sight of the
people this year is lost.

our State politics.
Now there is another matters
Since the June primary the Journal
has been as silent as a clam on the
question of disfranchisement.
The Governor has forgotten to urge
the adoption of the proposed consti-
tutional amendment on the stump,
or otherwise. He has made one poll
tical speech, and talked enough poll
tics to be quoted by the newspapers
as saying that he would vote for
Brown in answer to the Telegraph's
inquiry. But did anybody hear him
say anything about acknowledgements?
What's the matter with the Jour
nal?
What's the matter with the Gov
ernor?
What's the matter with disfranchise-
ment?
And then, we came near forgetting
has Billie Hardwick gone on a pro-
tracted fishing trip?
What have they done with the
Black Baby they so tenderly nursed
for two or three years to be slain
on the 18th day of October next?
Are they going to let the execution
go by default, and if so why?
We appeal to the echoes Of two
campaigns-why?

Principle and Revenue in Georgia.
Jacksonville Times-Union)


On the elevated ground that traf-
fic in liquor was degrading and the
state could not afford to make itself
responsible, however. remotely, for
drunkenness, the good people of
Georgia cut off their revenue from
the saloon and prohibited the pres-y
ence of King Alcohol and his slaves
among them--neither beers nor wines
would be tolerated-Georgia was
made moral with a few strokes of the
pen and then her moralists fastened
across her borders to make others
good.
Apparently the enemy took advan-
tage of the absence of these leaders
on their return from the invasion
of neighboring states the reformers
found themselves confronted by the
fate that beset Napoleon on his re-
turn from Russia-former slaves had
rebelled Near beer" was openly sold
and analysis revealed the fact that
the new foe was stronger than the
old one-in their weakness the re-
formers consented to accept revenue
in return for principle and near
beer was made lawful even when
carrying an addition of strength
1t seems Georgians followed with
longing eyes the passage of carloads
of dollars and jugs alternately to
Chattanooga and Jacksonville the
jugs return, but the dollars remain
in foreign parts Why not? Didn't
Georgia proclaim her independence of
revenue when she voted the Prohibit
ton ticket? But the Chattanooga
Times inquired why Georgia was sat
fsfied with placing tax on near
beer: why not prohibit it and
be done with it?' To this the Geor-
gian replies: ooh, say; don't be
greedy. You get a pretty good lot of
trade from down this way now"
What of the trade? Has Georgia
abandoned the mountain peaks of
| principle and descended into the
| lowlands where a majority of US
must live because of unfitness to
breathe the rarifed air that is meat
and drink to theorists? Can it be
true that even the reformers have tir-
ed of their work that the prairie fire
| has exhausted the material available
| and that Georgia will accept tri-
| butte from King Alcohol again. Shall
we find that the 100000 derived from
the lease of convicts is also a sum
| not to be despised and that Geor-
| gians are unwilling to lose too much
| Wickedness at one fell sWoop? If
Georgia desired to save the negroes
by prohibition is she losing interest
in the future of the colored brother
| also?

The Philadelphia Press, usually a
staid journal, has recently developed
unusual powers as humorist. 1t del
icately remarks that the only regret
Mr.. Roosevelt has that his engagement
with Mr.. Bryan has for the moment
thrown Judge Taft in the shadow. .
Think of it! Teddy Roosevelt regret
ting that he is in the limelight and the

The gum on postage stamps is said
to me made from sweet potatoes.
Judge" insists that in a Republic
this is catering to the taste of a few
Says that philosophical journal:
The sweet potatoe is not bad
thing, but there are thousands of as
with cultivated gastronomic tastes
who prefer other eatibles. like Cam
embert cheese, canvas-back duck, lob
sters, shrimp salad and so on-there
are even people who can eat squash
relish Wherefore, why sweet pota-
toes exclusively? Are all Of these 9TH
er tastes to be ruthlessly ignored be-
cause some bureaucrat likes sweet
potatoes? We trow not-not at least,
if this is the age OF the square deal.
1t is therefore respectfully suggested
that the Post Office Department vary
that receipa bit and give31s a more ex-
tensiye menu.

The belief is generally expressed
that the Independence Party has been
given a tremendous stimulus by
Hearsts exposures and that its vote
will far exceed original expectations.
Hearst seems most anxious to defeat
Bryan, while attacking both parties at
the same time He doubtless believes
four years more of Republican extrav-
agance and corruption will prepare
the American people to follow the ban
ner of his new party.
