What Did We Tell You About
Roosevelt and Bryan?

Out in Nebraska, where Bryan bolted the
regular Democratic nomination, the Republi-
can ticket was elected. Thus the net result of
the leadership of the Peerless One was, that
his home state was about the only one where
the Democrats failed to score. His refusal to
support his old friend, Dahlman, the regular
nominee of his party, has embittered at least
one-half of the Democrats of Nebraska. AL
though Democratic Legislature was elected,
no one speaks of Bryan for the U. S. Senate.
In fact, nearly everybody realizes that Bryan
is 'down and out" [ shouldn't wonder if he
took to preaching and if in time, he reached
a bishopric.
A companion picture is that of Roosevelt.

sons room at the Kimball. Afterwards, it is
referred to in THE ELECTROMAGNETIC vouch-
ed for, but merely mentioned as being in cir
culatiOn.
The date it seems (if the immoral act was
done) would be April, 1909.
See what happens. AS soon as The Jefer-
S0nian has had time to get abroad some one
in Atlanta sends Watson the name of the
woman with her p O. box number in Column
bus. Acting in good faith and above board
Watson writes to the woman, requesting that
she tell him the TRUTH as to what occurred
when she went before Gov. Smith. She re-
, fuses to O1SlC6p.
1t transpres that she did have a brother in
the penitentiary: that she did apply for eN-
ecutive clemency: and that she got it. She
is a young. wel-made, beautiful woman: she
is now the inmate of house of ill-fame, and
is herself a prostitute.
1t is true that she was induced to appear
before Justice Cowart and make a sweeping
denial: but it is also true, and PROBABLE, that
she exhibits the quickest excitement when she
suspects that she is about to be lnterrOgated
in regard to it; and she fercely threatens to
kill whoever puts her name In print.
In her affidavit, she nowhere states that
she never said that Smith put immoral con-
ditions upon her, in his office
Can you figure out, in your own mind, how

kind. cot connected with that obscure cour
tesan, if she herself has never talked any
thing of the sort!
All that Watson stated, however, was that
such thing had been the topic of converse
ton at the State-house. This he can prove
And he ventures this comment:
No such story would ever have been circu-
lated if Smiths lack of moral character, had
not been we'll known in Atlanta. Hilbert

AS to the mail-clerk case, Seely about estab-
lished the facts.
Believing that Frederick honestly meant to
help in the good work of purging the public
service of a Monumental Humbug, Watson
furnished him with the mailclerk's name
and address. Seely put "Attorney' on the
trail and to this Attorney the mail-clerk said
in substance:
II won't talk until 1 have to. Publicity not

'There's nothing in it" he would have

WORKING TO BUILD UP SAVANNAH

In a series of carefully prepared
and accurate diagrams the Savannah
Press is telling the world of the won
derful progress that city has made in
commerce, in manufactures, inwhoIe-
sale and retail trade, in banking as
sets, in home building, and in all the
other features that go to make up
tlia life of a thriving and progressive
community. The figures accompany
ing the diagrams will probably be as
great surprise to the average resi-
dent Of that city as they unquestiona-
bly, will be to the world beyond it's
limits. They tell a tale of marvellous
development in city that has gener-
ally been considered as ultra-conser-
yative, and as little inclined to the
push of modern times. Savannah has
heretofore been going ahead, working
out its own development along the
lines best suited to it's natural growth,
but without the accompanying blast
Of trumpets that marks every forward
step of so many other cities. In this
respect Savannah has erred. It has
needed such eye-opening advertising
as it's enterprising evening paper is
now giving to it. A city has no more
right to hide its light under a bushel
than an individual has and expect
the world to known about its progress
without being told. If Savannah S
newspapers, during the past twenty
years, had been persistently heralding
its advantages, it's opportunities. its
achievements, to the world, as the
Press is now doing, the city unques-
tionably would be larger than it is
today. Modesty is a very becoming
virtue, but a city can be too modest.
and Savannah, we fear, has suffered
by an excess of modesty. 1t has so
many good things to tell the pubic
that the public would have been pleas
ed to hear, that it has really injur-
ed ITSELF checked it's own progress,
by it's retiring disposition There is
happy medium between boisterous,
clamorous claims, and an intelligent,
truthful and attractive presentation
of facts. The Press has struck this
happy medium in its special editions

keeps up this work, and its morning

more important factors than live,

THE STATE SHOULD DO IT'S DUTY

In a decision that the people OF the
state have been awaiting withunusuaI
interest. the Supreme court Of Georgia
has finally held that the State had
prior lien on the assets of the defunct
Neal Bank. of Atlanta, to the extent
Of its deposits, and that the state must
receive the full amount of its deposits
before any Of the other depositors are
paid
Inasmuch as the Supreme Court has
SO decided this must be good law. Yet
it will probably appear to the other
depositors to have a measure of in
justice about it, so far as they are
personally concerned. Naturally they
looked upon the bank as a safe institu-
ton. The state made it's deposits
there. The fact that it did so was pub
licly heralded and accepted as one Of
the evidences of the financial strength
Of the institution. 1t was, in a sense,
an additional guarantee that the bank
was properly conducted and that it
was solvent and perfectly safe place
to make deposits in. Coupled with the
state bank examinations, the pub
lie at large was justified in believing
that the bank was sound in every re-
spect
If the state is to have a prior lien
on the assets of banks in whicn it
makes deposits, if those banks are to
use the fact that they are state depos-
itories as one of the advertising means
for attracting the business of the pub
lie, then the state is more than ever
obligated to see that such banks are
properly administered. 1t is a double
moral obligation upon it to have it's
examinations so thorough and so fire.
quent that the endorsement it gives to
tie management by making such
banks its repositories can be accepted
by the public at large in good faith.
The truth of the matter appears to
be that the state examining system
needs more money to work with, needs
more examiners and more frequent
visits upon all the banks. If this is
done, and the examinations made as
rigid as they should be, their condi-
ton will be more clearly revealed and
the public not only kept better advised
in that respect but have more conf
dence in the work of the state treas
urer's office under which slch exami-
nations are made. There is a general
feeling throughout the land that the
national bank examining system has
some radical defects in it, or there
would not be SO many failures of
banks that have been subjected to
periodic examinations and given the
stamp Of the governments approval.
So it is with the state bank examina-
tons. The public relies upon them.
it is lead to believe that they protect
it, and depending upon this protection
and the states assurance of thorough
ness of its system, it makes depos-
it's The state is under obligations
to its citizens to live up to both the
spirit and the letter of it's implied
contract With them, especially since
it now claims prior right to the as
sets to protect it's own deposits.

MUST NOT SHOOT PETTY
THIEVES.

It is a dangerous thing to shoot a
man for petty misdemeanor, dan
gerous not only to the man who is
shot, but to the man who does the
shooting as well This has been de-
monstrated in Savannah, where an
old negro, Of previous excellent rep
utatiOn, has been sentenced to life
term in the penitentiary for shooting
and killing a white man who was
making depredations on watermelon
patch that the negro had been en-
ployed to guard. His employer, a
we'll known white farmer, had missed
a number of melons, put the negro on
the watch with a gun, and instructed
him to shoot the first man caught
in the patch. Faithfully following
these instructions, the negro fired at
the marauder and brought him down
The man subsequently died, the negro
was indicted, tried, found guilty Of
murder, with a recommendation to
mercy, and a life sentence followed.
On the witness stand his employer
testified that he had given the in
structions to shoot that led to the ia
tally. He believed taht he was in his
rights in so defending his property.
The prosecution cont nded that such
instructions were ill al, that it was
not legal in Georgia % shoot a man
for a misdemeanor Iehch as stealing
melons or anything !fse, from field.
After the conviction of the negro the
white farmer was indicted and must

ployer. If he is likewise found gull
| ty, a long term of Imprisonment must
be his fate. This is likely to act as
a decided deterrent on others who are
! inclined to the hasty use of firearms,
even though the shot be aimed at a
petty thief. Yet one can readily ap-
| preciate the fact that if deprived OF
the right to shoot farmers are pretty
apt to find themselves suffering more
than in the past from such depreda-
lions. In sense such convictions are
an encouragement to petty thieving.
and yet one can also appreciate that
the right to take life is one that must
be given into the hands of men gem
orally with the utmost care and sur
rounded with the most severe restric-
tions. Probably in the vast majority
of cases a thief could be disabled and
not seriously injured. But even then,
apparently, one would be apt to have
trouble with the courts if the prose-
cutting officers were inclined to make
trouble for the parties doing the shoot
ing.
