ADvEKIsrSe RArxs:
Thursday, Jan. IS, 1908


A RECENT dispatch from Wash.
ington states that in consequence
OF the decision of the supreme
court, affirming the decision OF
Federal Judge Lewis OF Colo.
RADIO, in the case against ex-
Congressman Williamson Of Or
egon, the president has decided
to discontinue, for the present,
the numerous land fraud inves-
tigatiens and prosecutions that
the attorney-general has been
vigorously conducting in the
western states. The three points
in the Lewis decision that are
responsible for this change OF
plan are:
First--That final entry is not
necessarily accompanied by
oath to answer the requirements
OF law.
Second--No conspiracy is to
be regarded as a conspiracy
within the meaning OF the law
unless it can be shown that the
principals conspired together
prior to the entry or entries Of
the land.
Third--The application Of the
statute OF limitations is to be
determined by counting the
time from the first overt act,
and not from the time when the
conspiracy or intention to vio-
late the law was formed.
Up to the present time the
supreme court has passed upon
but the first OF these, and it may
be several months before the re-
naming points come before the
court. An affirmation OF the
entire decision will doubtless
end many land fraud cases now
pending, but there is no conso-
lation in this fact for those
whose cases do not lie within
the lines OF this decision. The
investigations, while narrower
in their scope, will be prescott
cd as vigorously, at least, as be-
fore, as soon as the government
has learned definitely what the
supreme court holds to be the
law in such cases.

The January Pacific Monthly

THE January Pacific Month
has an interesting article by i
E. Bennett, entitled, "The Pan

about the panic. One item

pie is the following:
"The terrific warfare waged
against Mr. Pinchot and his
forest policy last winter is not
to be resumed this session, &C
cording to assurances said to
have been given by Senator
Hepburn of Idaho. leader OF
the Senatorial band that tried
to stop the Governmental pro
gram. Senator Heyburn's
motives were never brought in
question during that fierce de.
bate. He was undoubtedly
conscientious In opposing the
Government plans for the pres
ervaiion OF the forests. Never.
theless every word he uttered
was helpful to the plunderers
who have schemed to thwart
Forester Pinchot. II there had
been other Senators as cour-
ageous snd as honest as Sem
ator Hepburn fighting the bat
ties which the spoilers dared
not fight for themselves, the
Governments plans would
have been set aside and the
work of spoliation would have
continued. Now, however,
there 10 reason to believe that
the forests owned by the United
States will be safeguarded by
the Government for the people.
The plans deal with operations
fifty years ahead-much further
than is ever thought of by any
other branch OF the Govern
ment. The assurance by Sen.

have accomplished its aims in
any event, but determined OPP

much embarrassment and de-
lay. Forester Pinchot will
now be free to deal with the
larger questions affecting the
National forest policy, instead
of spending his energies meet

from the section he has been
trying to benefit"

the governor is made to feel that
the Union Labor opposed him he
will not be such a good friend to
Union Labor.
In point of the fact the laboring
classes are practically solid for
Hoke Smith. This vote is intelli-
gent. The attempt to lead this
class to believe that the panic and
hard times by the Wall Street mag
mates was due to Hoke Smith has
failed. This class knows who cut
the wages, and, though many of
them are out of work, who is the
real friend to Union Labor. They
know that if the roads succeed in
electing their candidate he will not
be their friend. And this is why
the labor vote is. practically solid
for Hoke Smith.

ticable. In all factories, mills,
boundaries and workshops of all
descriptions, except railroads, re-
covery cannot be had for the injury
or death of an employee resulting
from the carelessness of his co-em-
ployees. If his fellow workmen
carelessly and recklessly MAIN him
for life-if he thus lose an arm or d
leg-he can recover nothing what
ever from his employer for keeping
in his employ such class of work

law for the road to be made to pay
the damages caused by careless en-
pIoyeeS to their workers. But
it is not practicable. If a man be
killed while working for railroad
| the burden is on his wife and his
babies to come into court and in
effect show two things: LIST. That
at the time of bis death the de-
ceased was free from all fault what
ever. End. That his death was
caused by the negligence of his fell
low workmen. Generally the only
eye witness to the casualty are his
! fellow workmen. The widow and
orphans can not get anything out
of the road for the reason that these
wOrkmen are not coming into court
and swear that they were respon
sible for the poor fellows death.
AS q result the wife and children
must face life's battles themselves
without husbands and fathers
helpful hand. This condition of
affairs hoke Smith has said he
wanted to remedy by amending
our law at the next legislature.
The railroads are fighting him not
only for the purpose of removing
him from the governors chair but
for the additional reason that if
they succeed i'll defeating him he
will not likely have enough in
huence to secure the passage of this
and other measures he has promised
to try to pass.
Also the railroads are trying to
create the impression On the COVER
nor's mind that the Union Labor
is opposing him. This is attempted
for the reason they think that if

can in the world whose cold hand
is generally turned on them-nOt

employer who allowed to work in
his shop the reckless and careless
men who caused the death Of the

1t would not be unfair to vested

Saturday $ Ra|Iys.
There Was EveryPhase
of the Campaign
Presented to
the Voters
Here.

Saturday was ''Politic's Day"
in Fitzgerald. The streets were
thronged from mid forenoon until
late at night with men singly, in
groups and in crowds talking poll
tics OF listening to some one else
talking politics. There wasn't
anything else thot about all day
long not even the heat Of Old Sol
who seemed to put forth an extra
effort to Swarm things up"
The start off was at 1890 a. NJ.
when the Empire State Band began
to play and the let up was some
where near midnight and it has
been said that lot of people even
talked politics in their sleep after
they went to bed.
At IL O'Clock Hon. Albert Cox
addressed a large audience at the
farmers Union Warehouse in the
interest of his own campaign as
delegate at large and for Joe Brown.
Mr.. Cox was listened to intently
but his speech was not up to ex-
pectation and some were evidently
disappointed in him as an crater.
Then the barbecue was served out
on the city green in Central avenue
which was relished of course. This
feature seemed to be the only one
that thoroly agreed with all fact
ions.
At 2:3O Judge Covington began
speaking i'll the interests Of Hoke
Smiths campaign and at the same
time counter demonstration was
going on at the corner of Pine and
Grant and later at the Exchange
Bank.
Covington won the laulels dur
irg the afternoon and the efforts OF
the opposition to break him up
were of DO avail as THU his power
full speaking he held his crowd
which kept growing as he went
along.
At night Hon. Rube Hutchlns,
of Cedartown, spoke in the inter
ests of Browns candidacy at an
open air meeting at the corner OF
Pine and Grant. When he first
started out some Hoke SIN 18th en-
thusiasts tried to force interruption
hut some level headed Smith men
: in the crowd prevailed upon then
TO be fair and give him a hearing
Mr.. Hutchius spoke at some length

and was we'll received. He is a
good speaker and delivered a clean
straightforward argument.
But the Smith supporters had
not had enough when he got thru
and so Col. o. TT. Elkins spoke in
answer to Mr.. Hutchins. Col. Elk
ms was listened to intently and in
part he said:
The silent vote of the labOring
man was the cause of the landslide
two years ago. The influences which
then operated upon that class are
not absent from the present race.
The candidate for whom this vote
was cast Was the only avowed
friend of union labor in the race.
Besides other measures advocated
by him, be stood for the enact
ment of material amendments to
our law governing the employers
liability in case of accident to the
This administration
measure, like many others was
not passed at the last session
of the legislature because of the I'M
usual excitement and interest in
cident to the fight over the prohi-
bition bill. 1t will be up for pas
sage OF the next session of the
legislature and for that reason the
railroads and other corporations
employing great numbers of men
are making fraptic efforts to defeat
the Governor, and if not to defeat
him at least to convince him that
union labor is fighting him. They
think that they can thus lessen his
ardor for this measure, which
means so much for the laboring
classes.
At the last session Of Congress
Roosevelt, by his personal influence
secured the enactment of an en-
ployer's liability bill which made
it possible and practicable for the
laboring man and his family to re-
cover in case of accident causing
his injury or death. The Supreme
Court of the United States declar-
ed the law unconstitutional be-
cause of the technical defects in
the bill. During the present ses-
sion of Congress, Roosevelt has
through his untiring efforts Sc
cured the passage of a bill to meet
the requirements laid down by
the Supreme Court. The Cover
nor hopes to have passd next snm'
mer bill which will so amend our
law that it wilt be both possible
and practicable for all employee or
the family of all employee, to re-
cover when he is injured or killed.
Under the law of Georgia as it
now stands it is possible only in
some instances for a man in case of
his injury, or his family in case of
his death, to payment Of damages
for his injury or death. But in
no instancc..is such recovery prac,
