WORK FOR AMERICUS

The primary is over, and the topic
which temporarily overshadowed the
more important one of the upbuilding
of Americas can now be laid aside
Upon the latter there can be no di-
vision of opinion
Politics has had its day, and the
good citizens of Americas are now
ready to work in harmony for the flu
ture of the city. Whether Brown or
Smith is filling the Governors chair,
it is the business as we'll as the duty,
of all factions to lay aside their
political robes and enter heartily upon
the much more personal and valuable
work of boosting Americus. Our
people have shown that they are full
of enthusiasm, and the same energy
which was exhibited in the political
arena. will make things hum when

Americas is on the eve of great

ginnings of a greater Americas, with
additional factories, and industrial en-
terprises.
The mighty question of a Governor
has been disposed of for the next
two years, but the far mightier ques-
ton of the future growth of Americas
is live one. This is an ever-present
one and deserves the energetic sup
port of every man interested in the
prosperity of the city and commun-

ne Currency Act and the Democratic
Senators
Chicago Record-Herald.)

There is little room for doubt that
reflection will lead the critics OF the
emergency currency act to admit that
it is a good and useful safeguard in
in spite Of what they regard as its
faults and imperfectiOnS. 1t may not
&c necessary to resort to it, but the
Knowledge that it is there, and that
it is essentially preventive, will make
for confidence and stability. Thus
in giving the country a currency act
Congress made a genuine contribu-
ton othe cause of reviving com
merce and returning prosperity.
In recognizing this important SER
vice of an otherwise inefficient Con-
gress it is but just to award part of
the credit to the Democratic minority
in the Senate Whatever may be said
Of the House, in the upper branch"
with it's unbusinesslike procedure and
premiums on obstruction and filibus-
tering, the Democratic minority could
have defeated the compromise cur
rency bill by delays, oratory and in
sistence on courtesy"
Had even a dozen Democratic sena-
tors Joined La Toilette and his two
supporters, the result of the filibuster
might have been very different. But
the minority, with two exceptions, did
not put any obstacles in the way of
the bill Though the Democrats were
opposed to it, though they had the
support of many of the leading pa
pers of their party, as well as of some
independent organs, they refrained
from using obstructive tactics.
This attitude is said to have been
I've in part to their fear of closure"
and revision of the rules in the in
terest of greater power for the ma
jority. And there are those who think
that the threat of reduction of SOU
thern representation had something
to do with the matter. 1t is likely
that the motives of the minority were
mixed; in almost every political sftua-
ton motives are mixed. But the I'M
willingness of the minority to assume
res possibility for the failure of
panic prevention and stringency-re-
lief act, an act which the business in
terests of the country demanded, was
the principal factor, and
this deserves full recognition.

STATE PRESS ON
PRIMARY RESULT
columbus Enquirer Sum-
The Primary and Its Lesson.

Telegraphic dispatches indicate that
in yesterdays democratic primary
Hon. Joseph NJ. Brown was nominat-
ed for governor of Georgia by a ma
jority estimated at from 10000 to
10000 votes.
The result of this primary, defeat
ing a governor who was swept into
office two years ago on the crest of
the most remarkable political tidal
wave in the history of the state, is
due to a revolt of the business in
terests Of the state, aided by the la
boring classes and wage-earners gen
orally, against the extreme views ad-
vOcated by Governor Hoke Smith
The people as a whole realized that
his threats against, and attacks on,
railroads especially and corporate
and large business interests in gen
eral, were very detrimental to the
welfare of the state. That his atti-
tude regarding what is commonly
termed foreign capital had as much
to do with causing his defeat as any
thing else will be generally conced-
ed
We believe that the result of this
election will be conductive of great
good to the state of Georgia, and
amounts to serving notice on the out
side world in general and foreign
capital in particular that the people
Of Georgia have repudiated and
turned down the doctrines and threat
ening attitude of Governor Smith to-
wards certain classes of business in
vestments in the state.

A Great Triumph
(Atlanta Constitution.)

Indications, as the Constitution
goes to press, point to Joseph NJ.
Browns nomination for governor by
a majority which is nothing short of
landslide.
The result, astounding in its pro-
portions, is pregnant with deep and
significant meaning.
For the first time in the history of
Georgia, indeed, for the first time in
the history of the nation, a governor
and his policies have been rejected af-
ter one term by the same party which
placed him in power.
The sowing of the wind has brought
its harvest, and the whirlwind of pro-
test has swept the state.
Unlocked for, unexpected, scarcely
believed within the bounds of posi-
bility, that result has, nevertheless,
come-cOme teeming with a signifi-
canoe that expands as thought dwells
upon it, until thought itself is lost
still in incredibility.
There is no man in Georgia, be he
supporter of Smith or Brown, who
was prepared for the overwhelming
force of the popular protest which
has swept the state
The inconceivable has taken mater
ial shape and form; the incredible
has become history.
But it will yet be at least a day
before either side can come to full
realization of what has happened.
Until then, until the people have
had time to collect their reason and
meaning of the peoples voice, dis
cussion of the significance of the re-
suit would be useless and out of
place
The Constitution will, later, discuss
in detailed and analytical manner the
meaning of the verdict of yesterdays
primary.
In the meantime, it can only be
said that the supreme will of the
people has been registered at the
polls, and that will is a return in
Georgia to
Sanity, Justice and Conservatism!

The Davis Centenary
New York Times.)

One hundred years ago today JET
ferson Davis was born On Sunday
the Times gave a careful and some
what extended article essaying an
estimate of the place in history likely
TO be accorded to the President of
the Confederacy the recognized lead
er in the movement for secession and
for the establishment OF a nation
based on the institution of domestic
slavery. There was one point in this
estimate that perhaps deserves parti-
cular attention 1t was that Davis
represented the spirit OF imperialism.

States Had he been a less prosper

passionate dream was of power.
ruled by his class, that should ex-
tend from the southern banks of the
Ohio to the Isthmus of Panama. Fy-
cept for the element of slavery his
conception was unquestionably Am
erican
One fact must impress the student
of Mr.. Davis career and of subsa-
quent American history. The state he
led through the terrible struggle
for independence, and which emerged
from that struggle stripped practical
ly Of everything but the fertility of
the soil and the energies of the Deo-
pie, are today more advanced in popu-
lation and in resources than he would
have dared to hope had his plans sue
ceeded. In population they are as
strong as the whole American Union
was in 1860 The new industries of
the South, of which there was hardly
trace before the war, are nearly
as valuable as the agricultural OUTPUT
then was. The agriculture Of the
section has advanced not merely in
yield, but in variety, and especially in
enterprise, SO that the promise OF
the future is practically illimitable
And the supreme difference is in
the fact that the South today is in
full possession and enjoyment of it's
birthright in the Republic, to the
priceless value of which her people
are constantly more and more richly
contributing.

The COIOred Vote
Washington POst.)

If the negro voters of the country
should follow Senator Foraker's adj
vice and demand a pledge of the can
dldates for President that they will
approve the bill restoring the Browns
vile soldiers to the army, could they
defeat any candidate who would re-
fuse to give such a pledge?
II the negro vote had gone over
from Harrison to Cleveland ein 1888.
Cleveland would have been elected. 1t
is doubtful if the colored vote should
nave turned subsequent elections, on
account of the large majorities re-
celVed by Mckinley and Roosevelt.
But it seems to be conceded that the
election in 1908 will not be a walkover
for the candidate of either party. If
Taft and Bryan are the nominees, as
now seems probable, the race may
be very close, and it is possible that
the colOred voter will hold the balance
of power.
New York, Connecticut and Indiana
would hardly be classed as rock
bound Republican states, under nor
NAL conditions. New York alternated
between a Republican and a Democra-
tic majority for years The negro
male population Of voting age in New
York in 1900 was 81 ,425. If this
should swing away from the Repub-
lican candidate, he would be under
a very heavy handicap. Mckinley and
Roosevelt would have been elected if
every negro had voted for Bryan and
Parker. Could Taft do equally well?
In Ohio there were 81 ,235 negroes
of voting age in 1900. If they had
gone against Mckinley in 1896, he
would have lost the State, since his
majority was only 81 900 Roosevelt
received the phenomenal majority of
256, 900 in Ohio. He could have dis
pensed with the colored vote. There
are now supposed to be about 50,-
900 colored voters in the State, and a
