Welcome the Candidate.
the Rome Herald.

From the Rome Herald.
Welcome to the candidate The
Herald halls with joy this hardy an
nual plant that blossoms anew each
winter. He is not like the violet that
hangs it's head as if to hide from
view. He is distinct boon to the
newspapers, for he does not mind be-
ing interviewed any more than does
an actOrine. Cigars spout from his
bosom pocket, a smile grows on his
lips and his heart is the seed ground
of optimism, for he is always going
to beat the other fellow a country
mile. He is an altruist, always in
terested in the welfare of mankind,
particularly the families of the
voters. He has warm spot in his
heart for childhood, handles every
babe upon his knee. He is charita-
BILE, too, contributing shekels to ev-
cry worthy cause He attendeth
church with great regularity and sits
in the front pew of one denomina-
ton in the morning and another at
eventide. He loves the farmer and
inQuireth anxiously after the cOndi-
ton of the crops. He can even do
"a lot of conversational blowing, and
tell how in the days of old he jerked
the bell cord over a jarhead.
In short, the candidate, during his
candidacy, at least, is an ideal gen
tleman, just such a one as makes
the world brighter and better. The
Herald wishes there were more OF
him and hopes that his tribe may
increase. for he scatters sunshine all
along the way, and the community
is better for having known him.
Far be it from us to point out that
this is a passing mood; and that all
too oft these graces yield to puts
SAINT pOmpOsity as soon as he is
elected. only to be resumed again
when the next election floats around
Even the glory of the world sic trans
it, and why should not the altogeth-
er lovely actions of the candidate dc
the swift skiddoo? On the other
hand. why should not they last al
ways? Some day we hope to see
an ideal candidate, one that will be
the same before and after taking.

4 HOPEFUL SIGN.

Governor Smith has declined to
commute the death sentence of Ar
thur p. Glover, a white man who In
cold blood and without a moments
warning shot to death in Augusta
young woman of whom he was
jealous.
The News believes the governor
has done right in refusing to inter
fere with the sentence of the court
1t is a hopeful sign that murderers
in this state will have to pay the
penalty for their crimes. 1t is a
notorious fact that in Georgia STAY
ers of their fellow-men have too
often gotten off with light punish
ment and even when the death pen
atty was imposed an avenue of
escape has frequently been found
through the Offices of the prison
board and the governor.
Is the law cruel when it prescribes
deaths by the rope for murder? If
so let us amend the law, change it
or repeal it, Is imprisonment for
a penalty too great for murder with
extenuating circumstances Then let
us prescribe smaller penalty rath-
or than make the law a mOckery
The enforcement of law against
homicide has become almost a scan
dial, and it shames the state of Geor-
gia because it is unequally enforced.
Occasionally some one is hanged
when a verdict of guilty is secured,
but many others are merely given
home at the expense of the state for
a few months and then released.
Even the hard labor" that goes with
the sentence is a mockery. A man
kills another in broad daylight, in
the presence of a dozen witnesses;
the state spends hundreds of dollars
to secure conviction; appeals and
other delays are interposed lest there
be a mistake, but after all the tech
nicalities of the law have been eX-
hausted there is a sentence to term
of Imprisonment. Suddenly a pardon
comes, and the man who has killed
returns to the world, leaving behind
him the petty thief, the burglar and
the man who struck only a blow in
the heat of passion, to suffer a longer
term and harder penalty
1t is time thatpublic opinion spoke
a word that the board of pardons
must hear 1t is time to ask, must
the law be made ridiculous by those
sworn to enforce it,?
We repeat that the action of Gov
ernor Smith in the Glover case is
to be commended. 1t is a hopeful
sign that the welfare of society and
not of the criminal is henceforth to
be considered in the enforcement of
the laws.

PROHIBITION IN THIS YEARS
CAMPAIGN.
ErOm the Savannah News.

From the Savannah News.
More than at any previous time
prohibition is going to be a factor
in the political campaigns this year,
1t will be a factor in the presidential
campaign, and in state, county and
municipal campaigns.
Neither of the great political par
ties will write prohibition in its
platform, but nevertheless it will be
discussed in campaigns from the
greatest to the smallest. The liquor
interest is thoroughly alarmed for
its business.
In this state, for instance, the
chances are that there will be pro-
hibition and anti-prohibitiOn candi-
dates for governor, and there will
be like candidates for both branches
of the legislature. Prohibition and
anti-prohibition will crop out in the
selection of candidates for judges,
Solicitorships and for mayors and
cOuncilmen.
The people of this state have not
had full discussion of the question
of state prohibition, and it wouldn' t
be surprising if the liquor interest
were to encourage such a discussion
1t has nothing to lose and it might
gain something. 1t looks reasona-
BILE, therefore, that it would take the
gamblers chance. and try to win
back portion of what it has lost
AS the situation now appears to
be shaping itself prohibition may be-
come an issue that will have more
of the attention of the people than
the trust issue.

THE BENEFITS OF THE PANIC.


The financial situation? Well, it
is here yet to limited extent, but
it is passing, and will soon be moth
ing but an unpleasant memory. PeO-
ple are now trying to figure out how
it came about, for everybody says
it ought not to have happened. - 1t
has made some people see Mrd
times, sweat blood figuratively
speaking, but everybody put on a
brave face and made the best of
it And the really sensible man
consoles himself with the reflection
that after all the experience is going
to work good in many ways for the
people and country. The boom, the
exploits, the speculation, the eXpendi-
lures were too high. The pendulum
had swung too far, and had to swing
back. That is the law of economics
and nature, too. But few here in
Georgia have gone broke, and there
is no reason why there should be
many, if any, more to do so. We
have everything we had when the
trouble commenced, and almost every
man and business is emerging with
safety from the storm.

Rreaking the News Gentlr.

From the New York World.
Little by little the news is broken
to the country through official chan
nels that the cost of the Panama
canal will exceed the early estimates
by perhaps $60,00O,OOO, or even
$100, 100000. After buying out the
old company and paying the Panama
government s1O,O0O,OOO it was said
that $140,000.0 would be enough.
The figures have risen to $200,OOO,-
900 and $3.50, 100000. The canal
must be carried through, whatever
the cost, but why is it that engineers
estimates are so generally inaccu-
rate?

Something she could not control
1t is not her way to slight me

You may smile and think me foolish,
But l know, that she is true,
And III prove it, if you wish me,
And to every one of you.
Had yen read her heart as often
Through her eyes as l have done
You would sooner doubt that heaven
Is unfaithful to the sun;
And, ashamed, you would acknowl-

The mistake with due regret,
And confess she's not a woman
To whom love means to forget.
I'll admit that l am lonesome.

1t sounds strange, but England is
facing a campaign of socialism with
the cold-blooded proposition to abol-
ish the monarchy and house of lords
If that can be, over there, why Won
der at the signs and tendencies over
here of the growth and aspirations
Of socialism? The truth is, lots OF
people over here are socialists and
don't know it. Bryan and Debs are
not so far apart, and Roosevelt and
Hearst belong to the aristocratic or
dilettante socialist type. As for the
new state of Oklahoma, it is to this
country what New Zealand is to the
British empire.
