STRENGTHENING OUR EDUCA-
TIONAL SYSTEM.

Among the few important laws pass
ed by the recent session of the legis-
lature, the law that enables the coun-
ties of TIE state to levy taxes for The
support of high schools is one that has
long been needed This bill should
do more than anything else for the
strengthening of the weak spot in the
educational system of the state
Until the passage of the recent bill
Georgia has found itself in the posi-
ton where the Constitution of the
state made no provision for the ma
jority of the counties in the state with
reference to the maintenance of high
schools by local taxation Only a few
of the largest counties in the state had
been given that privilege, so that the
high school system of Georgia has
never been developed to anything like
the requisite need.
The educators of the state have
been working for years in behalf OF
some plan that would supply con-
Meeting link between the grammar
schools and the colleges. The state
provides for the maintenance of thu
grammar schools, but absolutely ut
provisions are made for the teaching
of those branches that are necessary
for the entrance of pupils into col
leges.
The lack of high school facilities in
the state has been made necessary the
establishment of many secondary an.
preparatory schools. These have done
excellent work, but it cannot be dis
puted that it would be far more salts
factory for good high schools to DC
established throughout the state near
er to the territories from which they
draw their students. Furthermore, il
is true that many poor students are
not able to attend a preparatory school,
away from their homes, who would be
able to attend a high school nearer al
hand. 1t thus undoubtedly happens
CiAetI many uGStI wing 0CuuGHIS are KEEP
from obtaining a high school educa.
ton, though they might not be able tc
attend college later.
1t is significant fact that the edG.
Gators of the state have made theil
wants so clearly known to the law.
makers that the bill to provide fol
high schools could be passed. The
need has been manifest for many
years, but the counties of the state that
are able and ready to establish high
schools have been hampered by the
lack of constitutional provisions The
weak point in our schools should be
materially strengthened by the estab-
Ilishment and proper maintenance OF
high schools wherever they are needed.

4 HIGH TRIBUTE TO

construction and defeat. He is the

virile and militant next year and fol
all the coming years when the oppos
ing issues are as dead as Governor
Browns recommendations to the les
islature of less than two months acc
are dead today.
AS governor for one brief term Hoke
Smith was instrumental in putting ~
on the statute books of Georgia a Sc
ries of vital, far-reaching measure,
that go to the health and welfare o.
the body polite. Those measures are
confessedly the issues of the cempaig.
in the absence Of any record achiey3-
ment by the existing administration
The reversal of those measures was
the raison d-etre for tie existence cl
the Brown administration. Its assault
has been upon them, and they have
withstood the test and the assailante
have been thrown back in defeat. Til
Hoke Smith policies are to stand as
the fixed policies of the governments
The late assailants no longer denounco
them. The rather admit the merits
of them and seek to divert the credit
for them from the Hoke Smith adj
ministration, and thus confess Their
confusion and defeat.

CONGRESSMAN BURKE'S
CHARGE AGAINST WATSON
(New Orleans Daily states.l

tN6W orleans Daily SJateS.)
Whether in 1900 Tom Watson offer
ed to aid the republicans for a f.
nancial consideration we do not know.
Representative Burke. of Nort1 Dako-
ia, says he did. He, himself, says he
did not. If We look into the proba-
bilities, instead Of the certainties, this
is what We face:
Mr.. Burke has no known motive for
making the assertion if it We're not
true. If true, Tom Watson would have
as strong a motive in denying it as a
murderer would Lave in denying the
Preparation of the crime; for moth
ing that man can conceive of could De
baser than the offense with which ne
is charged At tie time he was run
ming for vice-president on the ticket
with Bryan, whom he was trying to
sell out, if Mr.. Burke tells the truth.
In the entire history Of American pol
titles we cannot recollect any man
who was ever guilty Of as base an act,
but it fits in perfectly wiUu our con-
ception of Tom Watsons character.
A man elected to congress as a dem
ocrat and serving as a populist might
have done this
A man holding on to a nomination
on the ticket with Bryan and thereby
seeking to divide the electoral vote
when by withdrawing he would have
increased Bryan's chances of election
might have done this.
A man pretendedly running for pres
ident but confning his efforts to d
state that the democrats were sure
to carry if he did not draw off enougn
votes to defeat ttlem might have done
this.
Tom Watson's whole history is :
confederation Of this charge which
involves a turpitude such as no one
would think of charging against any
other man prominent in American poi
itics.
But to disprove this charge Of a con-
ference at the Palmer House Tom Wat
son refers to the register of that ho-
tel as if he could not have conferred
with men in the hotel without him
self being guest. Such a ridiculous
assumption rather weakens than
strengthens his defense.

Among tie few northern newspapers
that seem to be able to approach and
discuss matters of a strictly Southern
nature dispassionately stands out the
New Haven Register, whose recent as
sertion in regard to the proposition to
place a statue of Jefferson Davis III
the Hall of Fame at Washington that
no man has more truly Lpnored the
state Of Mississippi and the South, Will
meet with universal approval from the
people of the Southern States.
Continuing its discussion of the
question the Register says: rs it too
much to conclude not merely that the
North has forgiven jefferson Davis,
but that at length it has come to the
realization tha. its bitter hatred of him
was without ground, and that here al
| so was a man of honor, a man WHO
fought and suffered-oh, so much
for his fidelity to an eternal principle.
Tie North even yet understood little
of the Southern viewpoint, but the
! light is dawning And its failure co
express heartier approval of the adj
vocacy of justice to Jefferson Davis
is due in part to shamefacedness at the
error which tns been n4rsed SO long.
Coming as this does from repre-
sentative New England newspaper, it
is like a hear.-to-heart talk with the
people of the South. 1t is spoken in a
spirit of breadth and sanity that IS
genuinely refreshing. This spirit is
what viii do more toward removing
the remaining traces of bitterness be-
tween the sections than any thing
I else. The Register shows further its
good sense by admitting that serious
attempt to place the likeness of Jeffer-
son Davis in one of Mississippi's nich-
es would cause a tremendous storm,
but it would clear the air" One of the
most valuable lessons that such men
as Senator Hepburn, who vainly OBJ
posed the placing of Lees statue in
| LIE HAL anu WHO HAS SUN more It
Gently made himself notorious by OBJ
iecting to the strains Of Dixie could
learn has been taught him by the ac-
lion Of Attorney General Wickersham
and President Taft in approving the
admission of the statue of the famous
Southern generals. Such storms serve
admirably to clarity Vte situation.
The occurrence serves to show raj
ica's like Hepburn that there is a
broader spirit of tolerance in the Norta
than he has ever been able to conceive.
There are but few like Hepburn ii
fact, and when they endeayor in their
rabid way to defeat the more rational
sentiment of their section and of the
nation, defeat is sure to meet them
! The New Haven Register deserves the
thanks OF the nation in it's endeayor to
broaden the thinking of these intoler-
ant haters

The way is plain,
And ev'Ty road is
A Lovers Lane.

The world at cur feet,
No human sound.

The airship true

II would be mighty hard for a
newspaper to say anything compli-
mentary of Joe Smith that is not al
ready known to the people of Bates
county, where he was born of good
old southern Democratic stock, pio-
neers of the west, and where he has
spent his whole life, loyal to his
friends and his principles and devot-
ed to his county and state. Joe is
one of those hale and happy souls
who has spread sunshine along the
way, accommodating to everyone,
generous to fault, hot-headed and
quick to resent wrong and equally
quick TO give credit to a generous or
noble deed. He made very popular
and efficient sheriff, performed his
duties at all times as he saw them,
and always had the courage of his
convictions. He would make very
popular candidate and perform his
duties to the satisfaction of all.

MISREPRESENTATION.

Free Trade has always been a
doctrine of the Democratic party. y
Republican-Press, May 10, 1910.
The above from the editorial col
umns of Bro. Funk's standpat publ
cation is a fair sample of the char
acter of dope being dispensed by
publications of like stripe and calibre
throughout Missouri, and will be read
by all intelligent voters to the detri-
ment of the principles eSpoused by
the writer's thereof. The statement
referred to rs made either in ign0r-
ance so dense that the opinions and
views of the writer should be CIV
Ell nocredence or is deliberate mis-
representation of facts and an insult
to the intelligence of the American
voter. We are inclined to believe
that Bro. Funk is not so ignorant of
the basic principles OF the recognized
political parties that he isn't aware of
the fact that no political party of inn
portance in the United States has ever
stood for free trade. The Democratic
party stands upon platform of tariff
for revenue only, and is opposed to a
tariff for the protection of our so-call-
ed Infant" industries, already so
overgrown and powerful that they
not only cry their defiance to the
United States government, but braz-
enly direct the policies of the admin
iStration. Misrepresentation has al
ready cost your party dearly, Mr..
Republican Editor, in the Sixth Mis-
souri,, in Massachusetts, and in New
York, and the voters who have had
no opportunity to offer rebuke for
your unredeemed pledges of 1908 are
going to show their displeasure this
fall and again in 1912
But the Republican party seems not
to be able to read the handwriting on
the wall, and Bro. Funk and others
of his ilk, who saw the men they
had help to elect deliberately violate,
at the commands of the monied inter-
est, the fair promises they had made
while begging to be allowed to cor
rect their mistakes of the past, are
now glorying in the shame of their
broken pledges, and drunken with
the power, given in good faith by the
American people, not only defiantly
proclaim that it is the best tariff We
ever had, but attempt by misrepre-
sentation to discredit the Democratic
party.
The time is past, Mr.. Republican
Editor, when the voter will blindly ac-
cept either your pledges or your
Statements, and if you hope to regain
any of the ground you have lost you
must tell the truth.
