ANmPoRTANT DECISION.

After one of the hardest fought le-
cal battles in the history OF the ma
ton. in which eminent counsel rep
resented both sides, and running
through a period of three or four
years. the Supreme Court OF the
United States on Monday rendered
it's decision in the case of the gov
eminent versus the Standard OH Co..
and ordered the dissolution OF the
concern within six months.
The decision was given under the
sherman antitrust act, which 1t IS
held has been violated by the octo-
pus. and was rendered by Mr., JUS
tice White. who declared the glgan-
tic trust a menace to the commercial
life not only of the United States but
of the continent.
The decision had been awaited 1or
some time with eager interest pV

WANT A PRIMARY.

By all odds the fairest, squarest
way to get at the wishes of the peo-
pie in all political matters, especially
in choosing public servants, is
through the primary. Senator Ba-
con was chosen in a primary cleo
ton, as was Senator Clay. In fact,
the selection of United States sena-
tors by the votes of the people is a
long established custom in Georgia.
A large majority of the voters of
Terrell county favor a primary to
name a candidate for the four-year
unexpired term in the senate, and
have so expressed themselves by pc
tition. Believing the people should
rule, and that high and responsible
offices should not be parceled out by
ambitious politicians and slate-fxers
in Darkroom caucuGes, they have
a desire to make known through the
ballot box their choice of candi-
dates. There is a principle involv-
ed, and they wish to see the demo-
cratic party keep faith with the peo-
pie.

Tho Latest Fad

Come out into the garden, Maud,
The onion sweets in bloom.
And Paris, Maud, has lately ruled
1t is the fad perfume.
Yes, heliotrope is out of style
White rose and violet, too;
And Jockey club and crab apple
These all you must taboo,
But onion, Maude, is a la mode;
Its really recherche!
30 dear, Just come down to the patch
And gather nosegay.
Rub onions on your rosy cheeks
Wear onions in your hair;
And set EN- round the parlor Maud
To fragrantize the air.
Then, right before your lover calls
Maud, eat bunch or two.
They'll make you irresistible,
And he'll propose to you.
&C. M. Barnit2.

THE RECALL OF JUDGES.

There is considerable discussion
just now of the recall of public
officials-an old populistic panacea
which seems to have recently gained
some strength throughout the coun-
ry-particularly as it applies to
judges.
The News believes recall would
menace the integrity and dignity of
the judicial station, and thereby open
the way to conditions of possible i'm
minence more to be apprehended
than the evils which it may be alleg-
ed would be remedied. The two
great dangers in this country are the
monied oligarchy on one hand and
the proletariat on the other. If the
one can corrupt the judiciary soocan
the other oyer-awe and disgust. The
courts are the virtual repositories of
the peoples rights and interests, and
the judges are the interpreters of the
law. 1t is to them the people must
look for the decisions and DEGREES
that involve stable government, law
and order that stands between order
and anarchy, al the people should
feel-what is the truth-that the
courts rightly administered are the
hope of society, the surety for pro-
lection, and we should save the
judge, as far as may be possible,
from the humiliation of any assault
on freedom of action. Under such
conditions the judicial office would
carry with it every possible humilia-
ton and annoyance, and men with
self-respect, men of ability, men of
integrity, would be 10th to seek or
accept places on the bench. A people
who value their liberties will demand
and have able and upright men as
judges; they will demand rectitude
of the judiciary, but they will also
take care to safeguard the dignity
and integrity of the judges by pro-
tecting them from influences of pro-
cedure that would impair or endan-
ger their prestige, dignity and pre-
rogative.
To our mind the voice of law (and
the courts are interpreters of law
should be held in reverence, and we
are slow to discern cause for radical
departure from the time-tested ex-
perience of the great English-speak-
ing race-the people who in reality
made law the basis of the social and
political fabric--to risk indulgence
in methods of doubtful wisdom. Let
us adhere to the old ways as long as
they seem safe and open to us. They
may not be as wise as we could wish,
but like the old-time religion they
are wondrously comforting and relia-
Bile, a refuge in season of stress.

Free Advertising for Candidates

From the Birmingham Ledger.
When the newspapers of Alabama
got such unfair and incorporate
criticism at the mouths of so MANY
politicians at Montgomery early in
the year we thought they would be
little careful in the future. They
do not seem to mind the criticism at
all. The Ledger has no idea of
writing them a lecture, but it con-
tesses that it is a little surprised to
see the press start again the same
practice Of toadying to men who
want newspaper help to get office.
In quite a number of papers there
are flattering articles about men who
want to be elected to something at
the next election. Now, why will an
editor give a politician free of cost
a "write-up" that he would charge
a merchant good money for?

Judging from the numerous
charges of bribery that are being
lodged against members of Iegisla-
lures in many of the states it must
be a sorry class of men the people
are electing to make their laws these
days. 1t will soon get to the pass
that it will be worth the reputation
of any man to be a member of a
legislature. 1t is not improbable
that partisan and fractional politics
has much to do with some of these
scandals. 1t is to be hoped so at
least, and that matters are not as
bad as they seem.

And now, gentlemen" said an
impassioned attorney in a Pottsville
Pa, court upon the conclusion of his
peroration, what will your verdict
be-" Not guilty" spoke up the
impressionable juror from the box.
"The jury is discharged and mis-
trial is ordered" said the Judge.
The incident merely goes to show
that the juror has got no business
thinking, or saying what he thinks,
in the box. He should wait until he
gets into the room, and then post
pone an expression until after the

LIGHTNING CHANGES.

Developments in the Mexican stu
alton are kaleidoscope and highly
interesting. Things of importance
have happened of late-from the
termination of the armistice to the
manifesto by Diaz, the battle at
Juarez, and the rebellion in the
ranks of the rebels and the arrest of
Madero, their provisional president.
1t is difficult to form an idea
just now as to the turn that events
will take over there. Let US hope
it will tend to early restoration of
peace and order
1t will be fortunate if Uncle Sam
is not provoked into intervention in
Mexican affairs. A few more border
battles, like Aqua Prieta and now
Juarez, with people killed on the
American side, will sorely test Amer
| lean patience and forbearance. If
possible this country should "hands
off, in Mexico and let those people
settle their own differences. We
have no call, because some Ameri-
cans have seen fit to invest and risk
big money in Mexico, to send our
soldiers there to protect those in
Vestments. To do that would cost
US many millions of dollars and
many an American boy, who would
never come back alive.
AS long as we can we should
