FRIDAY MORNING, APRIL, %, 1910.
Hon. Ben Perry has announced that
on account of lack of time in which to
go among the people ana make cam
paigH, and on account Of the expense,
which he cannot afford, he will not be
a candidate for State Treasurer, but
hopes he will be retained in his pres
ent position of Chief Clerk. Mr.. Perry
is most capable man and would have
made good Treasurer. We have no
doubt he will have his wish and con-
tinue to serve the people as Assistant
Treasurer, which is really the position
ne holds. A new man in the Treasury
would be foolish to throw away Mr..
Perry's experience.

OPEN LETTER TO THE VOTERS
BY Mr.. ]. GID MORRIS.

This is an open letter 10 every citizen
in Cobb county.
am a candidate for County Treas
drer and would Ike very much to meet
you face to face and solicit your sup
port, but do not think sthat it is
necessary, as l believe that men have
lived to an age Wherein they make up
their minds and vote accordingly.
I was torn in Cobb county. My life
has been open. have done the best
could by my people, privately and pub
licly, and it is the duty of any man who
thinks differently to come out in the
press and say SO. Others are aspiring
to this office and if the taxpayers con-
scientiously believe that any one of
the m is better qualified and will more
fully do his duty as a county officer than
[, ii is their duty to vote for him; and
if you think and one of them is more
entitled to it, under the circumstances,
than it is your duty to vote for him.
/ know that town people and mer-
chants have as much right to hold
office as a country Jake. They have
more time and better opportunity to
see and talk to the people than farm
er, especially at this season of the
year. l am busily engaged in prepar-
ing and planting my crop. Therefore
hope no one will vote against me
simply because l have not sbeen
around to see him.
Most every citizen of Cobb is familiar
with the fight made with those that
were in authority in the courts of our
county and state to dissolve the offices
of Clerk and Treasurer and give to the
people their rights under the Flaw.
There was nothing to compel me to do
this. believed that where the law had
created different Offices that God had
created enough good men to hold them,
without one man holding two or three at
one and the same time. When 1 was
doing this, were my opponents lending
me any aid? When / was making the
fight to rid the taxpayers of the damn
able, outrageous office of Special Bailiff,
did my opponents receive any of the
wounds?
When | made my monthly report, if
any man who had any transactions with
the county while | was there found it
wrong, | don't want your vote, and if
any man believes that 'Lonzo Richard
son told the truth when he accused me
of stealing the county's money, [ don't
want your vote.
There was no law to force me to tell
you who got your tax money and what
for after it was paid in. [ did it be-
cause | wanted to treat you right Did
anyone ever do that.before or since?
If you believe was wrongfully treat
ed in my last race, please vote for me
this time and put your foot of disap-
prevail on such conduct.
Now, i'll conclusion l want to thank
every man who voted Sor me in my last
race and ask you to vote for me again.
feel very grateful.for the many kind
expressions that have received from
number of people who opposed me
before, but who are supporting me now
on the ground that did not have fair
treatment in my former race.
Very respectfully,
J. GID NORRIS.

PUNISH INDIVIDUAL MEMBERS

An indictment has been returned
by a federal grand jury in New
York against the Paper Board as
ISOLATION, alleging it to be an lille
gal combination in restraint of
trade. The association comprises
40 paper manufacturers, who were
indicted as individuals or firms.
But what is the use of going to the
expense of indicting and trying
men who form combinations to rob,
when, if convicted, are released by
the higher court upon some techni-
cality? 1t is only occasionally a
rich man gets what he deserves,
and then it is in the state courts.
What does the Standard Oil octo-
pus and the Beef Trust care about
the law and the courts? Should
they be fined and pay the fines i'm
posed they would lose nothing, tor
they would increase the price of
their commodities and make the
people pay their losses. A man
who robs a bank of few thousand
dollars, if convicted, gets from ten
to fifteen years in the renitentlary,
but the men, who, by means of
combinations and trusts can rob
the people of millions of dollars an
nually and escape individual pun
ishment. Enact law so that the
officials of such combinations can
be individually punished. Send
few Reckefellers, Armours, tricks
and such like to a penitentiary for a
few years each and the impositions
under which the people are suffer
ing will cease.

THOUGHTS uY THE WAY

Why don't the insurgents from a
party of their own? Reeseville Re-
view.
Why should they John? Don t
they stand for everything advocat-
ed by the democracy? Aren't Gill
bert and Nelson candidates on a
democratic platform according to
your own admission? All the diff
ference, is only in the name, and
there is no good reason why demo-
Gratis should not support insurgent
candidates.
It is to be hoped that the parcel
post bill will become a law so as to
help out the express companies,
which are so rushed with business,
and the eXhorbltant charges de-
manded, that they can declare 800
per cent dividends. The charge on
parcel post package would be
about one-half charged by the ex-
press companies, and would be of
value to the rural districts and help
wipe out the postofflce deficit.
The question of the hour is:
What is a Republican," -Ban-
ner. A stalwart, who believes in
the traditions and principles of his
party as expounded by Jefferson,
Lincoln and Roosevelt. All others
are simply masqueraders, wearing
the uniform, but knitting the party.
Of late, there has been a contro-
versy between the north and south
as to which is the most popular
song, Yankee Doodle" or Dixie"
Fortyflve years ago, the southern
air got socdologer from Yankee
Doodle and the boys left after the
struggle, came marching home
singing the old familiar song which
will be popular so long as we shall
have a country and remember the
time we made the red-coats flee and
the stars and stripes were given to
the breeze. The writer has no OBJ
lection to the people Of the south
singing Dixie or any other fool
song, but they should put their
hands on their mouths and remem-
Der that it was rebel song, sung
by men engaged in an effort to de-
stroy this glorious republic.

HITS UNTHlNKING REFORMERS

President A. Lawrence Lowell oil
Harvard Univ, struck a healthy
blow at unenlightened political
reformers in a recent lecture before
the American Economic association
in New York.
1t is the duty of the economist, -
he said, to learn thoroughly from
relentless and unbiased observation
the utility of a reform before dar-
ing to attempt a practical applica-
ton of it to the affairs of men.
Earnest men overlooking with pub
lie spirit sometimes remind me of a
woodpecker l saw in Cambridge
some years ago, who strove loudly
for a whole forenoon to drill a hole
in a copper gutter pipe. All reform
movements need for criticism a
devils advocate who is not however
believed to be in league with the
devil; or rather they need advice
from people who really are familiar
with the actual workings of many
political institutions. In short they
need men with a scientific know
ledge of the physiology of politics.
"Reformers are always prone to
believe that any new device of their
sponsoring will work as they be-
lieve it will and when it does not
they are tremendously disappointed
They are far to prone to think that
they have a panacea which will
change humanity, whereas man is
pretty likely to remain as he was
before he tried their scheme-some
bad, and the mass Indifferent to
matters which do not touch their
personal interests.
Many good people stand aghast
at methods in public life which they
commonly employ themselves in
private affairs. They rail at po-
litical machine of any kind, when
they are in fact conducting with
great complacency little machine
of their own in some society. They
regard as abhorrant in politics a
mode of conducting business which
they adopt naturally in carrying on
a club or even a reform movement.

PARTY DIVISIONS

We have three kinds of conser-
natives in politics at the present
time, the moderate, progressive and
ultra, and also, three kinds of pro-
gressives, the moderate, known as
quarter breeds and socialistic.
There is not much difference be-
tween the progressive conservative,
and the conservatives. Both are
anxious to accomplish reform by
legitimate means that will be for
the best interests of the country and
for the good of all. They believe
in seeking the ends sought within
the republican party and will GER
tainly accomplish the end in due
time, if they receive the support Of
all good republicans. In the opin-
