FOR THE SIMPLE LIFE.

Senator Clay is opposed to the pro-
posed increase in the presidents sal
airy. He thinks it is enough as it is,
and said so on the floor of the SEN
ate Friday. He is convinced that
the simple life brings altogether the
best results, and that sumptuous liv-
ing would not rebound to the bene-
fit of the country, all of which will
find a hearty response throughout
the rural districts and from the
greater part of the population of the
cities.
AS the Savannah News says, in dis
cussing this subject, IF the presi-
dent lives eXtravagantly, making a
great show of splendor and luxury,
he will be initiated by the very rich,
and that will tend to push the
classes, the rich and the poor fur
Their apart, and at the same time. in
this period of education, fill the
minds of the people with envy of
the rich. Envy leads to demands
for higher wages and for luxuries.
and if they are not forthcoming the
movement towards socialism in
Creases.
1t is better that the speaker of
the house should live plainly and
continue to ride in a street car to
and from the capitol than that he
should have carriage and pair at
government expense and give costly
entertainments, as proposed in the
pending bill. If the nation is to en-
dure it must be along the lines of
plain living. With riches and luxu-
ries come evils that undermine the
republic. Senator Clay doesn't want
to be niggardly in making provis-
ion for the president and for other
officials, but he sees the evils that
come from the life that isn't simple,
and wants to guard against them.

VERY CHEEKY.

Congress should put its foot down
on the raids planned on the treasury
under the guise of expositions.
These shows have no claim on the
peoples bounty. They are usually
originated by boomers for selfish
ends, who after getting vast quanti-
ties of ink and wind behind their
projects carry the -bagging into
the law-making bodies of the city.
county, state and nation. Each is
compelled to vote sums for the big
show when every member knows
that the action is unconstitutional.
and is forced by the cIamor which
would be caused by an adverse vote.
And so the abuse grows until every
section of the republic has its CO.
lossaI fair.
The latest gold brick of the expo
sition kind to make it's way to Wash
ington is from New York. 1t de-
mands 100000 to ensure an exhi-
bitiOn of flying machines at the Hud-
son-Fulton tercentenary celebration
next September, a show which will
extend it's brilliancy along the Hud-
son river in spots from its source in
the Adirondack mountains to the
sea-three hundred miles.
The proposition is ridiculous. and
the money is not likely to be voted
unless the sanity of our lawmakers
at Washington has departed. There
are plenty of opportunities to risk
the peoples money without taking
hold of the dubious. The flying ma
chine aspiration is one of this kind
and it required cheek of the adaman-
tine sort to ask congress to vote half
million dollars for its exploitation.

IS TT BEING OvERDONE?

1t is stated that during the past
twelve months sixty-two persons con-
victed of some crime involving the
taking of human life have been re-
leased from the Georgia penitentiary
by pardon or Communication of SEN
tence by the prison commission and
the governor.
Three weeks ago The News edi-
torially commented on and COM
mended the pardoning at Christmas
time of some poor old WORKOUT
and friendless convicts who had
spent Iifetimes shaving in the peni-
tertiary camps, and we still approve
of this exercise of mercy. But we had
no idea that freedom had been dis
tributed with such liberal hand
among felons who were guilty of the
highest crime known to man and law.
Considering the difficulty expert
rienced by courts in conyicting per
sons charged with murder this rec
ord will impress many with the idea
that it is not only easier for one who
has taken human life than one who
has committed a lesser crime to Sc
cure acquittal before a Georgia jury,
but that his chances for receiving
merciful attention at the hands of
the authorities, even if convicted, are
greatly enhanced if that be the crime
charged. Not in the history of the
present penitentiary system have
pardons and combinations been
handed out with such a generous
hand. While there is no doubt that
many of the benefciaries were de-
serving of mercy, and that many who
remain in confinement deserve it,
too, the figures are, in a sense, ap-
palling.

MILLIONS FOR THE DITCH.

AS was expected, it has been found
impossible to construct the Panama
canal within the limit of the first
estimate of cost, or within double
that amount, the first estimate being
about $15O,O00,0O0. Up to June
last $17O,O0O,O0O had been expended
upon the canal including the pur-
chase price, and the job is not YET
half completed. The construction is
becoming more expensive as it pro-
crosses, and will continue to do So
Now it is proposed that there shall
be an issue of $5OO,OOO,OOO of bonds
for the benfit of the canal, and it
isn't at all sure that even that will
be enough money. 1t is even sug-
gested that it may be found neces-
sary to put a thousand millions into
the great ditch before it can be
opened to commerce.

Is RTT 4 MYTH NOW.

That old principle of personal lib
erty in our government is weak and
wabbly. 1t is badly bunged up, and
is on crutches. The personal liberty
idea has almost been Obliterated by
judicial decisions that put all laws
under police regulations where the
citizen protests that his personal lib
erty is involved. A man cannot now
carry a pistol or buy drink. He can
not bet his money on the red or green,
or play the future market on cotton.
He cannot practice pOlygamy, or
make love to a woman and then not
wed her without being held for heavy
damages in a breach of contract suit
He cannot hunt except when it
pleases the lawmakers, and then he
must keep on his own property and
off of his neighbors. The game he
kills he must eat, as it is a violation
of the law for him to ship it, though
what rights a dead duck may have
or how it is benefited by this law
is hard to explain.
In word, personal liberty is now
a myth. The work of the average
man is to pay his taxes, avoid being
run over or running over any one,
get all the money possible from ones
neighbors and the general public, re-
frain from doing anything else ex-
cept paying campaign funds for can
didates, taxes for officeholders and
more taxes for protected industries
and still more taxes to trusts and
monopolies. Any other ct.than pay
ing taxes can be restraifed and con-
trolled under police regulation by
the wide latitude placed upon it by
the courts.

President-elect Taft has been to
Atlanta, ate ffty-cent possums at
$40 plate with 500 citizens and
gone back to Augusta. But, really,
it was a very fine affair. The good
people of Georgia's great city treat

warm hospitality for which they are
noted, and everybody, both hosts and
guest, had jolly good time.
Mr.. Taft will leave Georgia in the

here, which he has seemed to enjoy,
and the people of the whole state
appreciate having him so long with

pared to believe that he has made

THE TURN OF THE TIDE

The Macon Telegraph hopes the
assertion is true that when few
days ago the house of representa-
tives made bold to arraign the presi-
dent for assertions unfounded in
fact" the long-hoped-for reaction
against personal government in this
country became an accomplished
fact. Continuing The Telegraph
says:
1t is high time. Such a re-
action was almost despaired of.
so long was it in coming. At
one time it looked as if the
constitution, the coordinate
branches of the government
and our most precious traditions
would be laid away among re-
spectacle but obsolete colIec-
tons in favor of popular
Rough Rider determined to CEN
ter the government in himself.
He is greatly mistaken who
lmaglnes that in a republic
there is no danger to be appre-
HShueu from the passion for
heroes, which is but another
form of the craving for a king
to worship, and the danger is
especially acute in a country
which has assimilated within a
generation no less than twenty
hVe million foreigners bred to
autocracy and imperialism.
Now that both the senate and
the house have asserted them
selves and won back the respect
they were fast losing we may
confidently expect a restoration

and our old and cherished ideal
or government by law and not
by the caprice of a man will
again hold sway. Frantic efforts
to convict Tillman, or a half
dozen of them, and thus turn
public attention from the real
issue, will not stay the tide that
has now set in.

Representative Hardeman of JEFF

duce bill in the legislature to abol-

the gentleman will have a hard time
OF 1t getting the measure passed. We
agree with the Dublin Courier-Dis-
patch that this is the best court we
have. Certain it is that cases are
more quickly disposed of by it than
by the supreme court, and it has
revived some old commonsense
principles of law that are hea1thful

AS was expected, President Roose-
welt, in his extreme desire to get
even" with Ben Tillman, went off
half-cocked and his charges against
the South Carolina senator have fall
en- fiat. The land Tillman wanted to
buy is not even owned by the gov
eminent. 1t is the almost universal
opinion that Roosevelt has not in
creased his popularity, helped his
party or promoted the public morals
in any degree by his attack, while,
thanks to the presidents kind atten-
tions, Senator Tillman will probably
be able to command double his for
mer figure when he resumes the lect-
