HEIRLOOM OFFICIALS


The News notes with deep regret
that sentiment is being developed
in the state of Georgia to eliminate
what has most facetously been
termed the heirloom officials" In
the county of Floyd the other day. a
confederate veteran who had given the
early days of his life to the cause of
the stars and bars and who fer more
than a quarter of a century had ably
and satisfactorily filed one of the Of
fees Of the county, was defeated by
new blood" in the shape of young
and more active man. This same con-
dition of affairs could be pointed out
in many of the counties Of the state.
The faithful old officials, a trife slow.
perhaps because Of many years upon
their shoulders, but nevertheless com
petent and faithful are gradually being
relegated and in their places are be-
ing called younger and more active
men.
In the very first flush Of this new
spirit of ccmmercialism. The News
begs to raise its voice in protest. In
those dark and bloody days, when
mems souls were tried. when the very
best material in this sunny southland
was offered up as targets for federal
bullets, when devastation and ruin
stalked in Dixie-it was these latter
day heirloom officials" who offered
up their lives fer the cause of home
and Preside and for the safety and
the happiness Of this very land of
ours. They were heirloom officials
then, but the heritage was poor one
indeed and there was no thought of
then. Tattered and torn.

Heirloom officials withstood Tie most
cruel onslaught, the most biting de-
privations that ever before or ever

THE NEW ROOSEVELT.

There was a time when Roosevelt
seemed to The News a large and brave
figure in the affairs of the country.
when he seemed to stand between the
people and their spoilers. when he
seemed to be a protector OF the
masses against the inroads Of preda-
tory wealth.
When he was squirting an unwill-
ing house to action on railroad regu-
lation, when he successfully defed the
republican senate to withhold its
approval of the law that he had prac-
tically drawn and personally APPROX
ed, he doomed up as a great man,
strong, firm, broad, determined. But
his greatness appears to have been
an excursion ticket-good fer this
trip and train only.
Passing by his thrusting upon his
party a candidate whom it did not
want. by his acceptance of a party
platform that fell far short of his
own ideas. taking no notice of his re-
vision and amendment of the speech
of acceptance OF the candidate, the
tigurehead wasting no regrets on, the
miscarriage of all his prosecutions of
truets and monopolists. exuding no
sweat over his folding to his bosom
of Paul Morton and the immunity
bath given to Morton's railroad-in
short. dismissing everything but the
spectacle the man is making Of him
self today, It is the inevitable and re-
gretful conclusion that Roosevelt is
and always has been an essentially
small, unbalanced man He is fuss
ing and Seeding iika the traditional
flshwife because the people Of the
country do not grovellingly accept the
dictation as to his successor. He as
sumes that what he says Is so. wheth-
er 1t be disproved or not, He claims
70 be sort OF lord paramount over
the politics and personal character of
ali the people Of the country.
| He Is a reinearnation OF the po-
tentAte who once upon a time gave
It out that he was Jupiter. and drove
chariots over bridges and had his
slaves fash torches to produce thun-
der and lightning In keeping with his
assumed character. II Is with regret
that the American people must recog-
nize him as a pretender in whom
there is neither real strength nor that
measure of noble, independent man
hood which the people had been led
to believe. He has precipitated him
self to an inglorious level, where he
will remain.

THE EVOLUTION OF A SINGLE
WEEK.

After all of the realities. this old
world of ours is largely impression
able. Surrounding conditions make
sentiment and in spite of US, we i'm
bibe IN the prevailing flavor until we
become part and a parcel of it. Last
Saturday the people of this city in
solid phalanx marched to the polls and
with the ballot voted for a great pub
lie improvement; they voted to re-
tire forever the pessimists and the
citizen devoid of civic pride and city
patriotism. They registered by an
overwhelming majority their final
conclusion to stand for progress and
prosperity and to unite in great
movement for the betterment and for
the upbuilding of this little city. There
was no malice, no acrimony, no bit
terness engendered in the good nat
ured contest pulled off last Saturday,
the result of which placed Brunswick
IN the great galaxy of cities in the
south inviting capital seeking invest
ment and Offering to that capital fair
and equitable treatment.
1t was the great, serious, sober
second thought that men take before
plunging into fathomless uncertain
ties.
The result has left its impress.
If there has been a word Of pessi-
mism in Brunswick during the past
week, The News has heard it not; If
our people have not caught the in
SEPARATION now in the Brunswick atmo-
sphere, then we are mistaken in the
signs of the times. The people of
Brunswick are more cheerful They
have come to the conclusion that they
alone have been standing in their
own light for years and they have
agreed to form great eclipse in
which total inactivity and lack of ma-I
nicipal pride will march in the new
light of progress. of enterprise. of
civic pride. of aggressiveness. and in
fact of every essential detail that gees
to make real, live, energetic people,
We like the new change in senti-
ment; it betokens a new era of pros
perity here in Brunswick and 1t means
individual and general progress for us
all If we will only take advantage of
the opportunity.
