QUESTION OF PORT
RATES IS LIVE ONE
Georgia's State Campaign Will
Be Affected
ATLANTA rs INTERESTED
Two Men May Run for Supreme Judge
ship In Georgia-Power of Cow

McLendon Case
ATLANTA rs INTERESTED

Atlanta, March 29.-(Special.) -There is
growing. accommodating evidence of the
fact that the question of port rates is go
ing to cut much figure in this years state
campaign.
The latest accumulative evidence is
the appearance of a two-column editorial
in that paper which has posed as the or
gan of the so-called reform" element,
reviving the port rate issue, and demand
ing the enactment of that policy.
The Atlanta mercantile interests which
have been insistent upon the subject
of port rates are, too, again becoming
active; they are discussing the subject
generally; they are getting in line for an
other fight They believe in the justice
and equity of port rates. and it is their
opinion that once the railroad commission
grants them, its action will be promptly
sustained by the courts.
There are three railroad commissioners
to be elected this year, and If the port
rate party can land two of them it will
then have a majority on the commits
sion.
Chairman H. w Hill, who is opposed
TO port rates, and Commissioner George
Hillyer, who is for port rates, will remain
members of the board. Commissioners
Joseph f. Gray and O. B. Stevens, who
are opposed to port rates, and c. NJ
Gambler, who is for port rates, must go
before the people this year for re-elec-
ton.
II the port rate party can elect Com
missioner Gambler and defeat one of the
others with port rate candidate, it will
have won-so far as the commission is
concerned.
The port rate problem will probably fig
ure, too, as an issue in the race for
governor; but that is mot its real battle
The Birmingham age-herald. [volume] (Birmingham, Ala.) 1902-1950, 1910-03-30

field. Hoke Smith was elected governor
and secured a commission with a ma
jority favorable to his policies yet he was
not able to put through port rates.
If they are to be enacted it must be
done through the railroad commission.
That is the battlefield where the port rate
issue is to be really fought out this year.
And then, if the port raters" win. it
will be on to the courts, with what re-
suits only time can tell.
Race for Judgeship
1t is seldom that a justice of the state
supreme court is opposed for reelection.
As rule they remain on the bench I'm
til they die or resign, and the governor
appoints some one to fill the vacancy.
Thus, after ALL the membership of the
supreme court is practically reduced to
practical appointment by the governor.
although legally 1t is a question of cleo
ton by the people.
The supreme court judges don't like to
get into politics and the people, as a
rule. don't like to have them there. So,
any justice who has made a good rec
ord is practically assured of reelection.
When he gets worn out with the work
he may resign then the governor wiz
I'LL the VACANCY anu the dppO1ulee Is eject
ed, almost always without opposition.
There has been only one race of mo-
ment for a supreme court judgeship in
recent years, when Judge r. B. Russell,
now a member of the court OF appeals, ran
against the late Chief Justice Simmons.
Judge Russell, although quite popular,
was defeated; he proved his popularity
later when he ran a successful race with
rearly dozen other candidates for the
court of appeals.
Nevertheless, there promises to be
some opposition this year. Attorney ].
D. Fitzpatrick, whose home is in De-
catur and who practices law in AT
lanta, has informed his friends that
he will probably be in the race this
year for one of the supreme court
justiceshiTb. Just which of the two
justices he will select to make the race
against he has not stated, but he is
strongly enough inclined toward it TO
do considerable talking about his in
tentions. Mr.. Fitzpatrick has appeared
in several litigations of Importance rs
attorney for the state, assisting the
attorney general and has figured in
state politics as speaker and work
er, though not as a candidate.
There are two supreme court JUS
tees to be elected this year to fill
the vacancies caused by the expiration
of the terms of Chief Justice w. II.
Fish and Justice Marcus w. Beck. Chief
Justice Fish formerly lived in Amer
icus. but has been so long on the bench
that he has come to make Atlanta his
home. Justice Beck was first appoint
ed by Governor Terrell to fill va
cancy and was since elected for a full
term.
Authority is given for the announce
ment, informally. that both Chief JUS
tice Fish and Justice Beck will Of

primary to succeed themselves. Later
on they WILL no doubt, make the usual
formal announcement that they are can

THE PREVALENCE
OF PERJURY.

According TO Mr.. Samuel Inter
meyer. a New York attorney With a
countrywide reputation, the prevail
ence Of false swearing IS so general
in the courts of this country that the
courts are compelled to take cogni-
zanee OF such a condition. This
statement was made in an address
delivered on the administration OF
criminal lowe before the Academy Of
Social and Political science at Phila-
delphia
1T has been said, and I think
rightly" he declared, that the crime
Of perjury is committed in at least
three out of every 1--WE cases tried N
the courts in which an issue OF the
fact is involved. It has become so
general that the courts regard it al
most as a part of the inevitable ac-
compartment of a trial"
This seems an almost incredible
condition of affairs. yet the state
ment has been made by a man who
is well qualified according to reputa-
ton to know whereof he speaks. One
Of the reasons why false swearing IS
so prevalent according to Mr.. Inter
meyer, is because the crime is SO
seldom punished The very severe
penalty which the law imposes makes
it difficult to secure conviction, as
judges are 10th to impose such heavy
penalties for an offense which does
not appear TO them sufficiently seri
GUS to merit a maximum punishment
of twenty years at hard labor.
It is suggested as a partial rem
edy that juries in criminal cases b
compelled to accompany their verdic
by a statement that any particula
witness has been guilty of willfu
false swearing and that it be mad
; the duty of the prosecuting officer L
= take action when perjury mas beei
so charged
That perjury was frequently resort
ed to in criminal cases has been ion
, generally believed. but no one .su'
o pected that the practice was neari
so prevalent as the prominent Net

IA QUEER
COMPARISON.

When ex-President Roosevelt reach
ed Naples he was hailed by one en-
ehusiast as a second. or rather. rein
carnated Marcus Aurelius. That is
about the funniest comparison ever
made. Ernest Rennan. who wrote
tn life of Christ. says that while
Marcus Aurelius was a pagan and
prosecuted Chr stians. or at least, let
the prosecutions go on he in his
own person more closely resembled
Jesus Christ. as portrayed in the
New Testament. than any otaer
mortal ever has.
He was given to melancholy all
his days, he permitted a brother who
had no ability to share his throne ap
to the time that brother died. His
great trait was frogiving his enc
mics. One officer that rebelled IN
Asa Minor and turned his troops
against the Roman troops and was
later assassinated. though guilty Of
treason and. in a good many ways.
murder, excited no luminosity in the
breast of Marcus; rather, he asked
the senate of Rome 20 make no con-
fscation of the officers estate nor to
prosecute his family. His own wife
had a bad reputation. but he de-
clared 20 his dying day that she was
an angel.
When we think of these charac-
teristics and then of Roosevelt's. the
comparison of the two has a com
cal look. But in one respect he was
a little like Roosevelt: he was al
ways preaching peace. but as a mat
ter of duty he. led campaign every
year against some enemy of Rome.
1t is possible that it was from him
mat Roosevelt &C. his idea " the
big stick
He was ane e the most profound
philosophers OF his age. one Of thu
most learned men OF his age; he
struggled all his life to have better
educational facil ties extended to the
Romans. and led in the movement to
give Roman women educations. He
was 80 marvellous a man that he
made a distinct impression on his
age which 1900 years has not been
able to dim; and indeed. as his char
acter is studied more and more, and
the conditions with which he was
surrounded are cons dered his fame
grows brighter with the onsweeping
years. But he was not quite such
a man as Roosevelt; at least. Roose-
welt Is not quite such a man as he,

BY campaign contributions the bene-
