Where GObeYnOY Smith Fell DOh'n.


The greatest mistake of the many that
Governor Hoke Smith has made was his
failure to reconvene the Legislature when
it failed SO hagrantlv to enact into law
those measures to which the Democratic
party in Georgia was positively, publicly
and Overwhelmingly pledged.
The Populists number more than half
of the white vote Of the state. This was
proven when we elected Judge Hines gov
ernor in 1894. That the Democratic bosses
in Atlanta falsifed the returns and gave
the office to w. Y. Atkinson did not alter
the fact that Judge Hines had been
elected. After many years of bitterness
and strife, the Popu1ist leaders decided
to make trial of the Democratic pre-
scription, Get your reforms inside the
Democratic party
In good faith we accepted the pledges
made by Hoke Smith, and he was elect
ed by the Populist vote. His personal
popularity did not carry him through. In
deed, we think that Hoke Smith is not
personally popular man. We think that
nine-tenths of the men who voted for him
did so on principle.
We supported him because of the legis-
lation which he promised.
We believed then, and we believe now,
that during his canvass, and for some
time afterwards he was perfectly sincere
in his purpose to carry out the contract
upon which he had got the highest office
in the gift of the people of Georgia.
But we think that it must be apparent
to all impartial men that change of some
sort came over the Governor soon after
the regular session of the Legislature was
adjourned.
That body had refused to pass several
of the most important measures to which
the Governor was pledged This he
could not help. But what he could have
done, and should have done, was to order
an extra session, and try it again.
But Dick Gray, of the Atlanta Journal,
got back from Europe with a congestive
chill on his reform-spirit, and Dick said
hat it would be foolish to call an extra
session. That ended it. In vain The JEFF
fersonian urged, argued, pleaded, expostu-
lated. No go. Dick had been to Europe.

powerful private and selfish interests
were back of the Worldwide increase of
armies and navies.
In Germany, for instance, the immense
gun-works of the Krupps not only have
much to do with the demand for new
batt1e-ships and new guns, but all Eu-
rope, as we'll as the Orient, patronizes the
Krupps, and it is to the interest of these
manufacturers of guns to stimulate the
pride and ambition of militarism through
out the world.
A vast game is always in progress, and
each nation, in turn, is the object of the
Establishments of the manufacturers of
the munitions of war.
Let us say that England spurts ahead
and builds larger vessel than her neigh
bors. Immediately the cunning lobbyists
of the ship-bui1ders and gun-makers be-
gin to play upon the vanity and suspicion
of rival nations, and pretty soon the news
papers of a certain sort, and the poll
ticians Of certain sort, are heard saying,
Look how England is outstripping us
in naval armament. In the interest of
peace we must build us a Dreadnaught
we must buy more torpedo boats, we
must have greater number of subma-
rines. We don't want any war,-there-
fore, we must have more guns and bat
tle-ships."
These arguments, properly enforced
upon Congressman of a certain sort, in
variably convince the powers which con-
troll Our destinies, and the result is that
we build and buy until we catch up with
the advance of Great Britain. Then Ger
many must jack up; and France must
keep step; and poor little Italy must stag
ger forward and Japan must come along;
and even China wake UP and send huge
orders to the builders of war vessels and
big guns
At length every nation of the earth
has been lacked up until England finds
herself not the equal of any two other
nations.
Her traditional policy" requires that
her navy shall be the equal of any other
two. Consequently she must anyhow in
the world have more batt1e-ships She
gets them Then the jacking-up process
begins again, among other nations, and it
never .stops until the other nations get so
many war-tubs and big cannon that Great
Britain has to move forward once more
Endless chain, you see. Oh what a fat
time it is for the millionaire manufacture

lists. Also for their press-agents and sub
sidized newspapers. Also for politicians

had come back with lowered temperature.
In spite of all that we could do, the rec
reant Legislators were left ttt1exposed, and
unn1olested by an extra session. The
people were given no chance to see who
were the boodlers and lobby-suckers that
were voting persistently against the re-
forms to which the Democratic party was
officially pledged.
And now, in the early primary set for
June 4th, those very renegades and lobby
They will be elected again because they
have not been exposed as Governor Smith
vowed that they should be.
The people will elect these renegades,
in ignorance Of the manner in which they
betrayed their trust at the regular ses-
sion.
How can Hoke Smith be sincere now,
in telling the people that his reforms will
be carried through the next legislature?
How can he possibly believe that the
renegades will vote any better next time?
Are these political 1eopards going to
change their spots, all of sudden, just
to humor Hoke Smith?
No. They will vote next time as they
did the last time
Had Governor Smith put them on the
grill of an extra session, with the eyes OF
the people fixed upon each individual
member, they would either have been CO.
creed into voting right, or they would
have been left out of the next Legislature.
See how it worked in Illinois Gov
ernor Deneen was elected on a pledge to
have enacted fair, honest primary cleo
ton law The Old Gang, with Joe Can
non at the head was bitterly opposed
to such law. Their influence on the
Legislature prevailed and the bill was
thrown out. Governor Deneen imme-
diatelv called an extra session, in spite
of old Joe Cannons profane and obscene
language of protest. Again the Legisla-
ture refused to pass the bill. Once more
Governor Deneen called tbs members
back in extra session. For many days
they wrangled over the primary law.
Then they took recess By this time
the people of Illinois were aroused. Mem
bers of the Legislature began to feel the
earth tremble under their feet. Dreading
the wrath to come, they went back to the
capitol and in November last the law for
primary elections was passed.
That is precisely the course which The
Jeffersonian urged Governor Smith to
pursue. But he chose to listen to the
Atlanta Ring, and now he is making an
other campaign of promises. But how
does he expect to keep those promises

III it," He says he agrees with Mr.
Rosewater that the language means
simply nothing.
In way this editorial from the
Omaha Bee is a very high compliment
to Mr.. Bryan. When Mr.. Rosewatcr
thought that the language was Bry-
ans. he ridiculed it, evidently bel!ev-
ing that it was beneath the intelll-
gence and craftsmanship of Mr. Bry-
an. Doubtless when he learned that
it was the Republican platform, he
thought 1t was good enough for that
instrument. In other words. the Ian
guage coming from such man as
Bryan would be ridiculous, but as a
plank in the Republican platform, 1t
is perfectly proper.
1t might be a good idea for Mr.. Bry-
an, in his future speeches to use the
language of the Republican platform.
The people could then learn from Re.
publican editors what the Republican
mind thinks Of the platform when it is

If Captain Webb had not succeeded
in swimming the channel probably
very few would have attempted it af-
ter him, and the task would long since
have been given up as unattainable,
says the Dublin Weekly Independent.
But his success encouraged many
rivals. latest and most persistent
among whom is the young Scottish
amateur, Jabez Wolfe. His sixth at
tempt to swim the Channel was made
on Saturday, and was as near sue
cess as failure could we'll be. No doubt
the weather conditions were ideal for
the venture, as indeed they must be
for anything approaching a success
full swim across the Channel. The
strength and speed Of Wolfe were
again remarkable, for in less than 1if-
teen hours he got within a quarter of
mile Of the French coast, which Cap
tain Webb took nearly twenty-four
hours to reach, and Burgess, Wolffe's
most prominent rival, in his last at
tempt. was twenty-five hours in the
water, and did not get within mile
of land. The Scottish amateur is inn
proving with each attempt, and 1t
seems likely that If Captain Webb's
feat is ever to be equalled it will be
by Jabez Wolfe.

Parish Need Not Aceept Legacy.

After contest Of more than three
years in the Circuit court at Port
Washington, Wis, a aecision has been
handed down setting aside the will Of
the late Catherine Reckinger and dt-
recting that the estate of Mrs. Reck-
niger, amounting to more than $4,000,
be turned over to Mrs. M. Bode.
Mrs. Reckinger died several years
ago leaving a will in which she di-
rected that her entire estate be turned
over to the congregation Of st. Mary's
Catholic church for vhe express pur-
pose of building hospital for the use
oe the members of the congregation,
but not for outsiders. The will was
contested by Mrs. Bcde, who was sole
legal heir to the estate. and after the
contest had been filed the trustees of
the congregation refused to accept the
gift under the conditions named in the
will. claiming that the gift would be-
come burden on the congregation.
The question Of accepting the gift
caused a division ir the congregation
and certain members. headed by John
Eidenberger, raised fund and deci.l-
ed to make fight for the money. not
withstanding the actisn of the trustees
of the congregation. Eidenbergcr
brought suit to have the will sustained,
claiming that he was one of the ben.-
flciaries under the Will, but the de-
cision Of the court teld that Eden
berger was not mentioned as benz
ftciary under the will and that the ac.
ton of the trustees of st. Mary's con-
gregation in declining to accept the
proposed gift. must be regarded by
the court as final.
