TARIFF CONVENTION ENDS
Delegates Expect Good Results to Fol-
low Meetinu,

Indianapolis, Feb. 19.-The national
tariff convention adjourned after a
session which officials and delegates
assert has marked new epoch in tar
iff making in this country.
That the action of the convention in
its demand for the creation of a per-
manent tariff commission will bear
fruit in congressional action towards
the same measure is confidently as
serted by its members.
The convention resolved by unani-
nous vote that the labors shall not
end with merely the demand for a
tariff commission. The permanent or
ganization formed to continue its
work will extend its influence to every
state and particularly to Washington.

Chicago concerns.
The express company and detectives
who have been put on the case are
said to have made every effort to keep
the fact that robbery had been com
mitted from leaking out. In this eff
fort they were successful until It was
found necessary to ask the assistance
of the police of other cities in running
down the thieves.

THEY WILL FORCE HIM IN 1T.

Unless We are mistaken and have
failed 10 read correctly the signs in
the political atmosphere in Georgia,
Hon. Hoke Smith Is going to be a
candidate Tor governor next year
against Governor Brown. If there is
one agency more than another likely
to bring about such condition, it is
the anti Hoke Smith newspapers in
the state, who in season and out, in
office and out, are increasingly tossing
Parthian arrows at the ex-governor.
Since his retirement from Office. Mr..
Smith has not sought publicity, he
has had no press agent al work. he
has not galloped all over the state,
rut on the contrary has pursued the
even tenor OF his own way. attending
to his own business and even eschew-
ing newspaper notoriety, as much as
possible Yet, we doubt if there is
a newspaper in the state which was
lined up with the Brown adminisra-
tion in the last contest which at
some time or other, since his retire
ment from office, that has not attacked
and unjustly criticised him. TRADE
after TRADE, abuse and villifcation
Of the meanest, smallest caIibre have
filled the columns OF these newspapers
for two solid months against this
man, who Is guilty Of no offense save
of having defeated the vilest politi-
cal oligarchy Georgia has ever known
and Of having made one Of the best
governors in the history Of the COM
monwealth.
Governor Smith has very strong
and very devoted following in the
state, ready TO go with him into an
other campaign for vindication, for
the purpose of righting a great wrong
perpetrated against him last year
when through a campaign of misrep-
resentation, prejudice and deception,
the people we're persuaded to relegate
great and honorable custom in
Georgia and deny to him a second
term in Office. Had these newspapers
been content with this triumph, with
this humiliation Of this truly able
and great big man it might not have
been so bad. But no, they have fol-
lowed him into retirement, into pri-
vate life, aye into his very home and
Preside in campaign of dirty, un-
fair and unmanly tactics. as vile as
they are untrue and as reprenenslble
as they are contemplate.
We are not in the confidence OF Mr..
Smith We know not what his future
political plans are, but we do know
that these very same enemies are
making friends for him every day
and that these friends will force him
to consent to place the issues again
before the people Of the state. 1t
VIII be recalled that just such a game
as this, on a smaller scale, was the
cause of Mr.. Smith entering the race
for governor in the first instance and
knowing him as We do we do not be-
lieye he viii be content to rest I'M
der the situation.
Such a race would be more spec
taeuIar than anything in the history
Of the old state and would shake it
from NAHUM Gap to Tybee Ligat.
However as we said before. We ale

not the remotest idea OF what Mr..
