THAT AYINnICArToN., :,

From his aerie in the Hearst temple in New York, Col. John Temple Graves tells all about how it happened, and also indulges in some predictions. He declares that Home Smiths vindica- ton may be tardy, but 1t is sure to come" Then he tells all who care to hear it, that Smith twas defeated by an unknown in politics comparatively obscure and physically insignificant" As if that were not enough, he refers to Joe Brown as "a diminutive mouse whose artful network has tangled and tied the lion of Georgia politics" All this leads The Chattanooga Times to remark:
 Obviously MT. Graves has forgotten many things about Georgia and Geor- gians since he went to New York Tit tie Joe" Brown was not an unknown" by any means nor was he obscure. He was engaged as the manager of a great enterprise before MT. Graves attained his colossal stature. As to his physi- cal proportions-it would be interest ing to measure him with MT Graves At any rate as has been remarked by several Georgians Joe" Brown is phy- sically as handsome and alert at least as Alexander Stevens was" and 1t might be added. perhaps. as John Tenn pie Graves Is.
 Colonel Graves will please pardon us if we remind him that "vindication" was not the word he should have used. He should have said that Governor Smith Is a man "to whom retribution has come" for that is apout the size of it. Colonel John is evidently short on knowledge of political conditions in his own State. That saying of Abraham Lincoln that You may fool part of the people all the time. and all of the people some of the time but you can not fool all of the people all of the time" was never more appropriate and applicable than in this case. Hoke Smith may not have fooled all of the people of Georgia, but he certainly suc- ceeded in fooling and misleading the large majority of them two years ago. Whathar he himself was deceived is q

SATURDAY, JUNE ls, 1908.


 i, TWO eminent. Dutch scientists. with the assistance of some three thousand Dutch doctors, have been Investigating the much discussed subject of heredity and the conclusions arrived at may be Q surprise to the average reader. They hold that while child may inherit both mental and physical characteris- ties from the parents, generally from the father, the moral tendencies are not communicated from parent to child Ut all.
 This, we repeat. will be in the na- ture of a surprise to many who hold to the opinion that when a child shows decidedly immoral tendencies and qualities, it inherited them from an ancestor. It may have been the fa- ther or mother, or it may be some still more remote progenitor. but the belief is pretty general that the tendency to go wrong is the result of heredity; a word. by the way, that is very much overworked.

Building Operations in Cities During
 May.
 Baitlmore. June lz...SSpeciaI; l-- operations during May as noted by The Manufacturers Record were fairly act- i've as compared with the previous month, some localities showing an in- crease both in the number of permits issued and the cost of buildings, while there was a decrease in others.
 Covering a period which included the flood days, the city building inspector of Dallas Texas. issued 124 permits during the month, representing an eX- penditure of s234,903. These included thirteen brick structures; seventy-one and repairs, and six miscellaneous buildings. Permits were issued in Fort Worth, Texas, for structures rep resenting an expenditure or $12o'OOO, including a hotel to cost $16,600; two apartment houses to cost $15,000 each, three store buildings and a number of other structures. Thirty--four permits were issued in Austin. Texas. duTtng $50 900 in the aggregate. For new buildings and improvements. permits were issued in San Antonio, Texas, rep resenting a valuation of $167,0l5.
 During the month s4s permits were issued in Kansas City, Mo, for struc- lures estimated to cost in the aggre- gate $977,5s5. As compared with May, 1907, these figures show decrease of hfty-nine in the number of permits is- sued, and a decrease of sso2.5sS in the valuation of the buildings. The total estimated cost of construction in St. Louis, Mo. during the month amounted to SISS07 7e7, as cofppared with $1,- Sss. 758 during May, 1907.

The Pittsburg Sun, in discussing the high -handed methods at Chicago, said that there is no doubt of the Presi- dents patriotism and good intentions" 1" and fin the same editorial it said:
 What has Roosevelt done in the al- most seven years of his power other than talk7 What has his party done in the twelve years of its unlimited con. troi other than promise2 What good either of them?
 That is very decided case of mixed pickles. If there is no doubt of Rocse- velt's patriotism and good intentions why is 1t that during his term as President he has done nothing but talka Could a patriotic and well- meaning man hold the office of Presi- dent of the United States so long and have nothing but talk to show for 1t? The fact is that such expressions Of confidence in the good intentions of Roosevelt have been largely over worked. It matters not what rash and indefensible act he commits. or what uncalled for and reprehensible lan- guage he uses. his friends and admir- CTS hasten to excuse 1t all with the as- surance that tho President means well. but he Is impetuous."
 We are free to say that we have no patience with such line of defence, for we do not look on Roosevelt as either spineless worm or a hair-brained lunatic. If he is man of courage and backbone, and a man of sound sense he could not do and say some of the things that he does and says and at the same time mean we'll. His patriot ism is little more than sxin-deep and his good intentions are conspicuous by their absence. The spacious plea that he always means well has done duty until it is worn threadbare. and his admirers will do we'll to find some other defence for his slips and lapses. We do not believe The Sun means well" when 1t speaks as it does Whats the use of nattering and boot-licking an official when we know that 1t only adds to his faults3

The Populist brethren of Alabama are hereby notified, free Of charge. that there is to be "a reunion of the old Guard" at Blrminhgam on July {. the object of which is ito ratify the nomi- nation of Watson and Williams" There will be public speaking and probably something to eat. and possibly some near beer" on the side. We don't know which Williams 1t is who is to be the viee-Presidential candidate. but all of us know who Tom Watson is without telling. We don't think he can spare the time to do much candi- dating. He is too busy regulating and guiding the Georgia Democrats to waste time at anything else. How ever, if any members of ''the old guard" feel so inclined, they can go to Birmingham and hear Messrs. Hon. necker and Kelm of New Jersey tell what it's all about, and, speaking of Watson, The Atlanta Constitution sug- gests naming him for second place on the ticket with Bryan. Aren't they putting too much on Tommy?

question only to be satisfactorily an- swered by better authority than man, but there is no disputing the fact that the people have recovered their sanity and are tired of demagogy. If the Governor isn't satisfied with the "vin- dication' given him in the primaries he can get more of the same brand by applyng for it at the proper place. but fin our opinion "the Hon of Georgia politics" has had enough.

In the convention that nominated Lincoln in 1860 the name of Horace Greeley of New York" appeared as a delegate from Oregon. That was a Iit- tie singular, to he sure, but as The Brooklyn Eagle says. ''Mr. Hitchcock g appearance in this Chicago Convention as a proxy for a man from New Mex leo, and his readiness to become a proxy for men from Honolulu, or Alas ka. or the Philippines. or Porto Rico indicate a versatility Greeley never contemplated. It is possible Hitchcock may make mistake as a geological political ubiquity. The men who set him up may have to call him down. It is possible to be too Hitchcocksure of a good thing"

The Brooklyn Eagles comments of last Friday on the Georgia result are terse and to the point. It says of Joe Brown that "he thinks that railroad ing is a legitimate business. while Hoke Smith would strangle it within an inch of it's life. The simple truth appears to be that Georgia has changed its mind. Its Governor has carried out the program to which he had commit ted himself. He has kept the faith, but things have happened. Business was paralyzed. Men wo had employ ment lost it, Distress varied the monotony of prosperity and destructive policies became unpopular. Hoke Smith, failing to change with the change, has been denied a second term, and though he has still a year to serve, the railroads will survive him. . Perhaps even North Carolina may con- clude that tracks and locomotives contribute to it's welfare"

 Mr. Hoke smith of Georgia had a mighty triumphant ride on MT. Roose- velt.s wave. and 1t seemed. for time, as if there were no ascribable limits to his triumphant flight. He clearly iden- titled himself with every business dis- aster in his State. even seemed to take upon his own mighty shoulders some of Mir. Roosevelt's responsibility for na- tional disaster and wreckage and pre- sented every aspect of unassailable and enduring success.
 The people of Georgia are undepend- able and of low seIfisnness. They didn't see the fun of game in which the Golden Hoke ate all the peanuts and left them the shells. They saw Hoke's effulgence glow hotter and hot,
  l and as thousands upon thousands of workmen enjoyed their compulsory vacations They failed, however. to appreciate the philosophy that gave them bankruptcy and misery at the I same time that 1t forbade them the solace of the bottle. In short they voted the whole show a fake and humburg and they vociferousiy elected | the sublime Hoke to private life. A gentleman named Joe Brown whose | sole claim to distinction is his convic- tion that there is nothing for Georgia | in the bankruptcy of her railroads will 1 hereafter preside over the destinies Of ' the Cracker State. Joe Brown Is op- posed to the inculcation of the Chris l tian virtues by writ, capias and dis | traint. He holds that more people are persuaded than compelled to be good and is doubtful of the sincerity of avenging angels with an appetite for office.
