A PICKED BODY
That is what the Graduating Glass is
Many Others Should Be in II or in
Another.

We are glad to have so good
picture of the graduating class. Our
commencement issue would not be
complete without it, 1t is a fine
group and a fine class, and Berea is
Justly proud of them. There are Ga

That was a beautiful scene in the
chapel Sunday morning, when they
marched two abreast, led by the two
young lady ushcrs, to the rear, then
across and back to the front to their
seats next to the rostrum. And that
was a fine and inspiring address. The

Was it weakness? Anyway there
were some whose emotions we're
deeply stirred when they saw the
little company-young men and young
mountaineering to the goal. That
was the little home stretch. The mo-
ments were supreme ones. The writer
remembers tho day when he was in
the Baccalaureate procession and the
old feelings all came rushing back,
and the other memories and other
thoughts that crowded in. This was
the goal toward which they had been
striving for years. The sacrifices they
lad made; the courage they had dis
played. Some had fallen by the way.
Where were they? Were they looking
on that scene? What were their
thoughts? Wouldn't they think any
hardships and difficulties a small
price to pay for the privilege of being
In that procession now? And the
other on-lookers. Were they saying
that the time had passed for them or
were they resolving that their day
would come? And what were the
thoughts of the parents for their
children? Surely there was inspiration
that fixed the resolution and prepar-
ed for sacrifice.
And now the writer Is thinking of
the appeal this picture is going TO
make to the young people in every
home where The Citizen goes. Why
shouldn't they go to school? Here is
a large class many of which had no
better opportunities than the poorest

BAILEY's REASON FOR CHANGING
TO BROWN.
Savannah Morning News.l

Representative Bailey of Miller
county has come out from among tha
Smith faction and allied himself with
the Brown faction because he thinks
that the Smith faction is more con
Icerned in promoting the political in
terests of the Hon. Hoke Smith than
in advancing the welfare of the state
We had it from former Attorney Cen
| eral Hart that the state was LOSING ont
in this faction fight between Hokn
Smith and Gov Brown, and ReDrasan-
tatiVe Bailey confirms it. He evidently
has been keeping his eyes open during
| THE present session of the Legislature
and has discovered that there is a
purpose to prevent to as great an ex-
| tent as possible Gov Browns admin
istration from winning the good will of
the people. He says that he was one
of Gov. Smiths warmest supporters in
both of his previous campaigns. ana
that he went to the Legislature Cav
oring certain principles of government
and certain reforms-and [ believe
they are more important than any dis
| pute between two men-but / have
found out that many of similar belief
are first interested in taking care of
Smith, and they appear to think they
do this when they try to hurt Gov.
Brown
| Here is pretty state of affairs Ac-
cording to Mr.. Bailey a big section Of
the Smith faction, the faction which
controls the Legislature, is less con
cerned in the welfare Of the state, Tie
happiness and well-being of the peo-
| pie than in promoting the political in
terests Of Hon. Hoke Smith And Mt
Bailey has gone over TO the Brown
faction because Gov. Brown hasn't
tried to Furt ANYBODY or t. pull amp
body down but 'has gone along quiet
D attending to the business of tho
state, leaving the agitation for the
either fellow And the 'other fellow
seems bent on the continuance Of the
strife"
Mr.. Bailey's letter tells the whole
story. Gov Brown isn't asking for any
thing more than an Endorsement of his
Observation-Disclosures term. He
doesn't want to be senator nor is he
planning for further political advance
ment. 1t is the ''other fellow" and the
'OtEer fellows" friends who are
kicking up all the disturbance and try
ing to make the people believe that tho
state is ging to the demnition bow
vows unless they are given control of
it. Mr.. Bailey's letter announcing his
change of base will have the effect of
= opening the eyes of a good many VINO
, have been under the impression that
Fin training with the Smith faction they
were reformers. Mr. Bailey speaks
from the knowledge gained from his
experience in the inside of the camp
: of the Smith faction.

UNIFORM LEGISLATION.

1t is necessary for one to give the
many laws of the various states of tnt
Union but a passing noticetto realize
| the fact that the lack of uniformit,
among them is defect that needs rem
edying. There is now in progress a
movement to bring about this needed
uniformity
The National Civic Federation is an
organization that has taken I'D tho
matter of securing uniformity in tbs
legislation now existing in the various
states, and the work of the organiza.
ton towarl this end is meeting with
encouraging progress. The need Of
uniformity has been stressed by the
Federation in the following word.
spoken recently by it's president, Ralph
NJ. Easley:
"When one considers the chaotic
clashing of the laws in forty-six states
on so many important and vital cues.
tons of the day, it is a matter Of
wonder that business has been able tl
proceed at ALL"
While it will be held by those WIN
may oppose or may be Indifferent as
regards uniform legislation that the
need of such harmonizing of the laws
OF the states has been exaggerated BY
Mr.. Easley, nevertheless it is unques.
tionably true that there is sometime
to be desired in this particular. 1t is
also manifest at first consideration
that uniformity of state laws, where
such uniformity is vital and can be Sc.
cured, cannot fail to be good
Through the efforts of the Fedora
ton state organizations have alread,
been formed in the following states
Maryland, Connecticut, Ohio, Indiana
Illinois, Missouri. Kansas, Nebrask;
and Wisconsin. 1t is the opinion O
the officers of the organization tina
many other states are ready to tax,
part in the movement as soon as tbs
matter has been properly called tx
their attention. Certainly Georgir
should not be dillatory in embracin;
an opportunity to aid in this commend
able movement as the Federation
hopes by the end of the year to have
organizations perfected in every stat,
of the Union
It is the object of the organization t.
promote "a better understanding anon,
the states concerning legislation, i
not a completely uniform Legislation
In its work, the National Civic Fedora
ton expects cooperation from tn
American Bar Association. Some .
the widely discussed questions of tn
day in regard to which uniform law i
to be sought, are conservation Of nat
e uraI resources, divorce, regulation c
railroads good roads, automobile reg
ulations reform in legal procedur.
pure food and drugs and compensate
for industrial accidents.
The very comparison of the laws c
the various states should serve as
stimulus in remedying defects in ey
listing laws and in securing the passag
e of necessary laws where they do nj
now exist The movement is in tn
interest of the advancement of tn
e standard and the efficiency of the law
of each state and deserves the hear
lest support and cooperation.

LEE IN THE CAPITAL.
philadelphia Ledger.)

philadelphia Ledger)
1t is hard to understand the menta
operations of those who would ex
clude the figure of Robert E. Lee iron
gallery of eminent Americans o
would deny to Virginia the right t
commemorate him as one of her citiz
ems 'illustrious for their historic re
noWn." The argument of the Attorne
General with regard to Lees statue il
the National Statuary Hall was no
needed to sustain its compliance witt
the act of Congress establishing tina
gallery. To rational minds it SHOULD
be equally convincing of its complet
compliance with its broadest patriot,
purpose.
Those who would exclude Lee be
cause Of his part in the war agains
the Union belittle the achievement O
that glorious struggle. War is THE fina-
arbiter, but it is the arbiter of the flu
ture, not of the past We in the NORTH
believe Lee to have been wrong in his
allegiance to his State but the fact
that he was defeated at Gettysburg did
not prove him wrong; else, his success
which was not inconceivable, would
have proved him right. What was de
termined there and at Appomatt0x
was that Tie Union could not and
should not be dissolved. That judg-
ment Lee promptly and fully accepted
and thenceforth devoted his every eff
fort-like Lincoln and Grant, whom he
had opposed-to building up a reunit-
ed country.
At this distance we have learned 10
glory in the history of the Civil War
as a war of abstract ideas fought
among Americans, as Americans
There is no more typically American
figure upon either side, except the
great President himself, than the great
Virginia soldier, who sacrificed every
thing to his own conviction of duty
who upheld an unequal struggle with
heroic genius, and, when defeated
turned his face at once to the new du-
ties imposed by new conditions.
Thus Lee has come to typify, as Mr.
Wickersham well says, mot only all
that was best in the cause to which at
the beklest of his native State, he gave
his service, but also the most loyal
and unmurmuring acceptance of the
complete overthrow of that cause" II
we really believe that our own couceD-
ton of the nation was right, and that
the purpose and the browning result
of the great war was the establishments
of an honorable Union, we can regard
no commemoration of the national trl-
umph as complete that does not give
this typical figure a distinguished
place.

THE RAILROAD COMMISSIONS
REPORT.
Savannah Morning News.)

One cannot glance through the thir-
ty-seventh annual report of the Rail
road Commission without getting the
impression that there is business
enough coming before the commission
all the time to keep it busy, and that
only able and conscientious men-men
who are students-shOuld be railroad
commissioners. The commission should
be taken out of politics altogether
that is, it shouldn't be instructed by
political conventions as to what rat, s
1t shall make. 1t should be as free as
are the courts to decide the various
questions of which it has Jurisdiction.
1t is only when a commission feels
that it is free from political dictation
or influence that it is able to give the
people TIE best results. If it is under
obligation to this or that political fac
ton or party it will not decide ques-
lions on their merits, but in accord
faction. The only way in which a po-
litical party or faction should make
its influence felt, in so far as the uues-
tons with which the commission has
TO deal are concerned, is through the
laws. The commission must decide
tL'e questions submitted to it in accord
ance with the policies of faction or
party.
We learn from the report under con
sideration that there are at presenr
under the jurisdiction of the commits
sion 227 public service corporations
that their total capitalization is ST.
228,llS,7S0.O 90 and that the total amount
which they collect annually from the
people is $5O,OOO,OOO. 1t is evident that
IN the course of year a great many
questions come before it involving the
interests of the people and these cor
porations. Thep are questions that
cannot be decided off hand-at least
the most of them are questions of that
KIND. They must be studied carefully
and conscientiously if they are to be
decided fairly, decided so that they viii
give satisfaction to the complainants
and the corporations. Between THESE
pubic service corporations and those
VINO are served by them there are diff
ferences arising all the time--differ-
ences often so great that they approach
condition akin to war. 1t is the ain,
OIL TIE corporations, as a general rule.
TO get the best results from their in
yestments and it is the purpose of
lhoSe whom they serve to get all they
can for their money. Their differences
misunderstanding and demands brino
about a very large number of questions
Tor the consideration of tie com
mission.
IL would be good thing if a copv 81
the commissions annual report couIJ
de placed in the hands of each vote,
In that way voters would be impressed
with the need for putting on the COM
mission men fitted for the duties re-
quired of them. They wouldn't vote for
candidate for membership in the
commission simply because he was on
the ticket they favored. They would
undertake to find out who of the can
didates We're best qualified to serve the
people-to do justice between tile pub
lie service corporations and their pat
rons.
