CURRENT COMMENT.
GEORGIA NEWSPAPERS DISCUSS LIVE TOPICS
CALEB POWERS.

From the Griffin News and Sun.
One would naturally expect Caleb
Powers to flee from politics as from
pestilence, CONSIDERING his experience
during the ten years since the MUIR
der of William Geobel, democratic
governor-elect of Kentucky. Charged
with completely in this crime Powers
was tried four times, was convicted
and sentenced to death on testimony
alleged to be perjured, and was fin
ally pardoned by a republican gov
ernOr WILSON, and released. Re
garding himself rightly or wrongly
as the victim of political persecu-
ton Powers has employed his liberty
in seeking revenge upon his alleged
prosecutors. Accordingly he secured
the defeat of Capt Golden, candi-
date for commonwealth attorney,
and now he has defeated Don c.. Ed
wards in the race for the republican
nomination for congress in the Elev-
enth district, republican strong
hold in the Kentucky hills.
Whether one has or has not fol-
lowed closely the successive trials of
Caleb POWpers, whether one has or
has not opinions on the merits of
the case, it is impossible not to ad-
mire the man for his ability, cour-
age, perseverance and invincible de-
standardization Telegraph.
We may differ with him and even
/ look upon him as a criminal, but one
must admit that Caleb Powers ca
reer, more romantic than any book
hero, reminds one of that famous
poem:
Out of the night that covers me,
Black as the pit from pole to pole,
I thank whatever Gods may be
For my uncOnquerable soul.
In the fell clutch of circumstance
/ have not WINGED nor cried aloud;
Under the bludgeonings of chance
My head is bloody, but unbowed.

THE INCREASING TAX BURDEN
From the Augusta Chronicle.

From the Augusta Chronicle
The state tax rate for this
year has been fixed at five mills,
which is the constitutional limit
and the same it has been for sew
eral years. notwithstanding the
steady increase in the tax val
ues of the state year after year
there is no let-up in the tax bur-
den. The increase in expendi-
lures keeps right up with and
generally ahead of the increase
in revenue. Comptroller-Gener
al Wright says the legislature
this year increased appropria-
tions 100000, whereas the rev.
enue has increased only $780,
900. The school will get $780,
600 more this year, and about
100000 more than heretofore
will go to pensioners. The rest
of the increase is in special ap-
prOpriations.-Daw News.
The above pointedly directs atten
ton to the same old story-the legis
lature's weakness for keeping the
states expenses ahead of its income
Had appropriations been kept down
to what they were even five or si2
years ago the states income would
already have overtaken it's expenses
but no matter who is sent to the
Legislature or on what platform OF
economy they are elected the appro
priations are largely increased yeal
after year. And the cause for this
is always pretty much the same
schools and pensions.
1t will be noted from the above
that three-fourths of the increased
appropriations for this year is fol
schools and pensions alone. AnC
yet, seldom, if ever, do we find g
member of the Legislature who has
the political courage to oppose either
of these regular annual increases
Indeed it is generally conceded tC
be a dangerous policy to even talh
about them. Nevertheless and not.
withstanding we cannot believe that
it is wrong to call attention to the
fact that they should at least be kept
within the states income; certainly
with an increased revenue of $780,.
600 per annum the legislature has
no right to make an increase OF
$500, 900 in expenses.

JUST FOUND III OUT.

From the Macon Telegraph
The Atlanta Constitution of Sun
day last fired broadside into the
late state convention.
Like Mr.. Watson, the Constitu-
ton is late Both turned up after
the battle.
All of which reminds us of a real
incident that happened many years
ago.
In 1868 the Macon and Brunswick
railroad (now a part of the South
ern) had just been finished, and thai
part from Jesup to Brunswick was
| finished last. An excursion train
taking on people from Thomasville,
Quitman, Valdosta, Tebeauville (now
| Waycross) Blackshear, Jesup and in
termediate points on the old Atlantic
and Gulf road made the trip to
Brunswick over that part of the new
road from Jesup. On the return
! trip the train started two hours late.
! The engineer Git was said) imbibed
! too much at the seaport city. When
he pulled out he pulled open the
throttle. laundering at a too rapid
rate across Buffalo swamp on cheap
cribbing in lieu of piling the track
| spread and there was a great wreck
Five people were killed and many
| injured. There lay curled up in a
seat-asleep-a young man from one
of the counties up the Atlantic and
Gulf road west of Jesup. The jar
didn't phase him. He slept on. A
half hour later friends found him,
reused him up and pointed to the
wreck and ruin around him. In a
half-dazed way he looked, and saw.
, and half understood; then, like a
startled pike fish hemmed in a net
he made a plunge head foremost
through the window glass and landed
! outside amid debris and mud, badly
cut and bleeding. When fished out
and told that he was a half hour
late he whined: well, I jest found

TAFT'S STAMP ON SUPREME
COURT.
rom the Savannah News.

From the Savannah News.
The supreme court will be pretty
nearly reconstructed by President
Taft, and it is certain that he will.
see to it that only such men are
made members of that powerful trib-
unal as will interpret the laws in ac-
cordance with the facts, laws and the
constitution. They will not under
take to rank dividends above human
character or human character above
dividends.
President Taft has already ap-
pointed two members of the court
and the indications are that he will
have the appointment of three more.
He appointed Justice Lurton and
Justice Hughes He will have the
appointment of chief justice, and
it is expected that the place filed
by Mr. Justice Moody will be vacant
in a few weeks, and there seems
to be no doubt that Mr. Justice Har-
Ian will retire within a year or two.
AS the situation now presents itself,
therefore, he will have appointed five
VI CuG IuGLhDGIS VI TIE court during
his term-a majority of the court.
If this programme is carried out he
will do more towards shaping the
greatest court of the country than
any other president since Washing
ton.
There is no doubt that President
Taft will appoint the ablest and best
men he can find, and he will divide
the appointments between the two
great parties.
The appointments he has already
made have given general satisfac-
tion. 1t is conceded that in making
them he sought for the fittest men,
all things considered, that were avail
able. Since his Osawatomie speech
it is certain that the country
wouldn't feel the same confidence in
the supreme court if shaped by Theo-
dore Roosevelt as it will feel in that
court after the Taft appointees be-
come members of it.

Our attention has been called to

han Roddenbery delivered in Albany
Rhpn he was renominated in the Sec

Abatically that if the democratic par

No republican can endure in

that day by day drains a hun
