MAY RUN FOR GOVERNOR

Hon. Joseph NJ. Brown, who was
kicked off the Railroad Commission by
Gov. Smith, is said to be preparing
an announcement at an early date
for his entrance into the race for
Governor. Many newspapers over
the state are only waiting for the an
nouncement to accord Mr.. Brown
their enthusiastic support.
In case Mr.. Brown enters the race,
it will mean that the administration
of Gov. Smith is to be called to the
bar of the peoples forum. The
prosecution will be represented by
Hon. Joseph M. Brown, which is a
sufficient notice that the work will
be. well done. He has shown by his
caustic and logical criticism of the
claims of Gov Smith and his rail-
road commission that he has plen-
ty of weapons in his arsenal.
With full opportunity to lay be-
fore the voters of the state the record
of Gov Smith, a startling reversal
of sentiment from the last election
is to be expected.
Weighed in the balances and found
wanting" is already the verdict of a
large element of Georgia citizens.

CHANGING PENSION LAW

The prospect of repeating the law
adopted at the last session of the
Legislature for quarterly payments
of pensions to Confederate Veterans,
instead of yearly in advance, as here
tofore, seems good. A number of
candidates from Fulton county have
been interviewed and were unani-
mously in favor of the change, provi-
ded the Veterans desired it.
On that point there can be little
doubt, as the complaints all over the
state are loud Gov. Smith thought
he had accomplished a financial feat
which entitled him to credit, but he
will likely find the experiment a dis
astrous one
The money is theirs and they stand
in need of it. Many instances have
been published as to the hardships
worked by these quarterly payments
In some sections the veterans are
already preparing to throw their in
fluences for candidates who express
themselves as favorable to the old
system. This will touch the candi-
dates at a vulnerable spot The vet
Grams will no doubt be able to secure
the change demanded.

NONE so GREAT AS "ME."

Gov. Johnson has been endorsed as
Presidential candidate by the MINI.
esota state Democratic Committee.
On the 'fayorite son" theory enun-
ciateG by Secretary Taft in his cam
paign, such an endorsement was not
unexpected.
Nevertheless, Bryan's followers
were on hand and stubbornly resisted
such action. One member Introduced
a resolution endorsing Bryan, in
which it was declared that we view
with suspicion many OF the Eastern
sources of acclaim (for Johnston,) we
discern in this Eastern movement the
ma'l2d hand of 'b2. aloug that cost
the party a million votes IN 1904"
Generosity does not seem to be a
part of the makeup of the Rryan
faction. 1t is rule or ruin with them.
No bets are being overlooked, not
even to allow state to- vote for a
candidate from its own bailiwiek
According to the Bryan standard,
it is treason to mention any other
candidate. The minions of the money
power are camping on the trail of
the Nebraska Colonel, but his army
is incOrruptible. The eagle eye of
their gallant leader is always open
and he can scent plots yet unborn.
The mere suggestion that there are
others throws him into fits.
There is only one, real, Simon-pure
Democrat eligible for the Presiden-
tial nomination. All others bear the
earmarks of Wall street
'Rah for Bryan!

AND A PRESIDENT
Boston Herald.)

Some Washington politicians of
the leisure class are specializing whe-
Their Hawaii or the Philippines, or
Porto Rico, or all of them together,
will make the next President of the
United States. AS these insular &C
cessions to the flag have nary vote
at the November elections, the pros
pect, at first blush, might seem ill
founded. However, there is another
way to look at the proposition, which
is the angle the leisure politicians
are taking
With a legion of contcsting delega-
tons from the South, the nearly ev-
emily matched Taft and anti-Taft fac
tons of the Republican National Com
mittee would come very close to de-
Gliding whether the Secretary Of War
or some other shall be nominated.
For if the anti-Taft members con-
troll the committee the contesting
Taft delegates from the South will
have treatment hardly less soothing
than swift kick and vice versa. Haw-
ali has a national committee, with
just as much voting power as has New
York or Massachusetts. Ditto the
Philippines and Porto Rico. No
three votes are to be despised when
cOterie of very eminent Govern
ment officials and likewise a coterie
of eminent anti-Tafters are gum-shoe-
ing around strengthening their posi-
tons with that committee. 1t could
easily happen that the insular com
mitteemen would turn the balance of
power one way or the other, which
might mean Taft or some other, or
which might result in the nomination
of Republican, whether it be Taft
or a rival, who could not be elected.
The Democracy was subjected to a
somewhat similar predicament at
Kansas City in 1900, when Prince
David, of the royal Hawaiian, line of
dusky kings and queens held the
balance in the resolutions committee
and committed the party to reitera-
ton of the Bryanite silver plank.

GOVT CHEMIST
DENIES SAYING 1T
States Position on Use of
Alcohol.

WASHINGTON, d. c., March z
-(SpeciaD DR.. Wiley, the govern
ment's chemist, denies that he said
drink was a good thing. 1t was pass
ed around and published that he did
say so. Neither did DR.. Wiley say
he is for prohibition Again, some
one said that DR.. Wiley said that any
man who never takes a drink is a
'mollycoddle" DR. Wiley says that
he did not say that either. The cele-
brated analyst was further credited
with commenting on the excellence of
whiskey as a stomach tonic and a
nerve maker for young men.
Any or all of these sayings were
supposed to have been parts Of a
speech made by DR.. Wiley at the
University Club banquet on Saturday
night, February 20.
Now this is what DR.. Wiley did
say, according to a signed statement
which he issued yesterday:
Il said | believed the general eff
feet of alcohol on mankind was
wholly bad9 that it was bad even in
small quantities that if distilled
beverages, such as whiskey, brandy
and rum, had any good effects they
were due to the fact that the aroma
tic and fragrant substance therein
stimulated the digestive secretions
and thus overcame, to a certain ex-
tent, the bad effect of the alcohol
which they contained. | further said
that | was in theory prohibitionist
but that there were practical Difficult
ties in the way of prohibition, ant
that the better plan would be tc
abolish the saloons, and that if peo-
pie wanted to drink distilled beverages
they should do so quietly at THEN
homes and with their foods, and not
in saloons. | did not suggest, MOI
advise young man to drink liquor OF
any kind, but said that it was always
bad"
