The Patience Of HObsOn
New York TimeSl

Mr.. Richmond Pearson HObsOn's am
bition takes shape. 1t is officially an
nounced that he will be a candidate
for the Presidency, on the Democratic
ticket, in 1912. This announcement is
welcome for two reasons. In the first
place, it removes any lingering fear
that Mr. Hobson will be a candidate
on any ticket, in this troublesome
year. For many reasons it is better
for Mr.. Hobson to defer his campaign
and keep his candidacy in storage
four years more. The country would
survive the running Of HObsOn this
year, but it might be a disturbing fac
tor.
The announcement is reassuring
too because it indicates Mr.. HObsOn' S
belief that the United States of Am
erica and the Democratic Partw will
both be in existence in 1912. We
had feared, from some of Mr.. Hob
sons remarks. that the Nation, al
least, was in danger of early dissolu-
ton. What with the threat of the
yellow peril, an inefficient navy, and
the lack Of a really purpOseful hand
at the helm of State, we had gather
ed that Mr.. Hobson thought things
were going speedily to the bow-wOws
If we are to survive until 1912 there
is hope that we may, in time, live
down many of our troubles, includ-
ing Hobson Meanwhile, the Alaba-
ma statesmen is to be congratulated
on his unexpected prudence and his
patience.

HOW TO BUILD Up A TOWN

Secretary Betjeman, of the Al
bany Business Mems League, gave
the business men of Americas a rat
thing good talk at the meeting on
Tuesday night. The only pity is that
every business man and citizen was
not present to hear it. 1t was a talk
along lines that must be followed if
Americas is to continue to thrive
and grow. If many of those who have
so far failed to assist in movements
to build up the city had been pres
ent a spirit of town loyalty and en-
thusiasm might have been infused in
them. AS it was, the seed dropped
by Mr. Betjeman fell on good soil
and there is hardly a doubt but that
it will bring forth good crop. Am
CIRCUS owes the Albany worker a
decided vote of thanks for the inter
est shown by him in a sister city.
Mr.. Betjeman stressed the lines that
have been stressed by the Times
Recorder in the past To build up
Americas, or any other city, there
must be unity of action, there must
be intelligent planning, there must
de determination and enthusiasm
and there must be a willingness to
go down into the pocket and put up
sufficient funds to meet the necessary
expenses of a campaign of publicity
and push. If the enthusiasm is
aroused the money will speedily be
forthcoming. When both are avail
able the results are sure. They may
not come in a month, or six months,
| but come they must and come they
| will. There must be no tagging, no
let up in the efforts, no subsistence
of the devotion to the city's inter
ests. The ticks must be continuous
and they must be hard to be effective.
God has no use for a gutter, it has
been said, and the town made up of
| cutters never goes ahead.
Americas has the making of a
| much greater city than it now is. 1t
can never be a greater city unless
\ its own people make it such. The
| push must come from within. Every
| man must give his little aid. The ac-
| cumulated momentum will shove
Americas to the front and keep ii
| there. But if a majority of the citi-
zens are going to hold back and
do nothing, if the majority are going
| to. squeeze the dollar and bury il
| out of sight instead of coming VI
cheerfully and assisting to the ex-
tent of 50 a year nothing permanent
or important can be achived. 1t is
up to you, dear reader, to do this
to assist if you are not already do
ing so. That's the way to help builc
up city.

Governor Smith and Prohibition
augusta Chronicle.)

When Governor Smith denied the
charge made against his prohibition
record a few days ago, he took pains
not to refer to one of them-tO the
effect that he, as attorney for the
Atlanta City Brewing Company, did
his best to have the supreme court
of Georgia annul the old local option
law, and thus defeat the effort to
make Fulton county dry" He adj
mitted in his Atlanta speech that
this is true.
In the sixty-eighth volume of the
Georgia supreme court reports, is the
case of Menken VS.. the City of At
lanta. 1t was decided by Chief JUS
tice Logan Bleckley. Parenthetical-
ly, it might be stated that it is one
of the most interesting decisions ever
handed down by that court. 1t con-
tains a complete history of the
temperance movement from the
founding of the colony down to the
voting of whiskey out of Fulton county
in 1885. 1t sustained the local option
law and the prohibition election in
Atlanta.
The case was brought in 1886 for
the purpose of attacking the law and
defeating prohibition. Menken was
an employee of the brewing com
pany. He delivered a supply of
beer at the home of a customer, was
arrested, convicted and fined $500
The case was certioraied and appeal
ed.
All the facts were admitted; only
a question of law-the prohibition
law-was involved. The brewing
company was recognized and is SO
recognized in the record as the real
contestant.
Hoke Smith prepared the brief that
was submitted against the law. His
name and only his name was signed
to it, although there were other
attorneys in the case.
The law was attacked on the
ground that property had been con
fiscated by reason of the enforce
ment of prohibition. 1t was held
that the brewing company had in
vested $125,000 in it's plant, intended
| for the sole purpose of manufacture
! ing lager beer. The law, as invoked
by the voters of Fulton county, said
| that such a product could not be
| sold. This meant, argued the attor-
ney, that the property was useless
and that the owners could not be
restrained from using it for the pur-
pose intended without the state pay
| ing them for the loss sustained; that
! the law was unconstitutional.
The present governor was attOr-
| ney in two other cases by which &
city ordinance adopted for the pur-
pose Of making prohibition effective
was passed The city law made il
an offense to keep intoxicants fol
| the purpose of illegal sale.
| The governor advanced the same
arguments in these two cases thai
! he used in the brewery case, with
some additional ones He lost the
cases, but the records at the capito
show that he did his best for the
| clients who employed him in the hope
of breaking down prohibition.

Mr.. Bryan Earns His Board and Keep
(Atlanta constitutional

A fresh metropolitan reporter re-
Gently gave William Jennings Bryan
an opportunity to discuss and pune
ture the mass of barbed fiction that
has been circulated regarding his
income and its sources.
The gentle New York coraller of
news had read in many newspapers
and magazines that Mr. Bryan's reve-
nue. from his lectures and speeches
and writings amounted to a sum fluc-
tuating between $4,000 and $4,000,
and he very pleasantly suggested that
if such reports gained Roadway, the
| Nebraskan would find it difficult to
dfsassociate himself from the pluto
Gratis.
In a very few sentences Mr.. Bryan
exposed the wild fallacy of the cur
rent estimates put on his income, stat
ed that his free lectures far outnum-
bered his paid ones, and that the
| COMPENSATION he received from his
pen was of that perfectly legitimate
| nature due men of indusputably nat
| ional prominence.
| The Nebraskan also reminded his
| questioner that public prominence
was an asset with all men, citing in
| stance after instance wherein men
of national reputation had found their
| earning capacity vastly increased by
publicity and public service.
| 1t is unnec essary to search far
! for the animus that actuates these
| persistently circulated reports re-
| garding the income of Mr.. Bryan. II
| is only necessary to consider their
| source. 1t is much more difficult to
! find sympathy with their logic OF
| patience than with their pertinacity.
If ever any American earned ev-
cry cent he has obtained and is OBJ
| tanning from the American public, 1t
| is Mr.. Bryan His services in rousing
| the torpid national conscience with
| regard to corporate and political
| abuses can never be fully repaid by
the people. Mr.. Roosevelt does not
hesitate to give credit to the Nebras-
kan for his initiative in these mat
tiers. 1t is seriously open to ques-
ton if that readjustment which will
be eventful economy to the Ameri-
can people would ever have been pos
sible without the activity, the cour-
age and the faith of the man truly
called the great commoner.
1t is a case of Roosevelt reaping
where Bryan has sown, and the
people of this country will never
forget that fact The knowledge / S
behind and explains the phenomenal
and continued popularity of Mr.. Bry-
an and his ability to defy the at
