Our New Paper, "The Progressive
Democrat"

AS we said last week. Georgia has always
taken leading part in national affairs. Ex-
ceptlng Virginia, no other Southern state has
been so powerful.
Virginia has been reduced to the lowest ebb
OF political influence by the Ryan machine
At present, Virginia belongs to Ryan This
Roman Catholic Wall -streeter has debased
the Old Dominion as no other State of the
South has been debased. Colorado belongs to
the Guggenheims; Illinois to the Beef and
Lumber Trusts; New York, to Morgan. RYAN
and the other Pappycrats; Virginia to Ryan.
AS yet, Georgia does not belong entirely to
any one man, or Trust She is dangerously
near to the pit, but not in it. There is COM
bme-Blg Business on one side and Selfish
Politics on the other-that is Juggling and
plotting to land her In the pit, but the con-
splracy has not yet accomplished it's purpose.
AS yet, Georgia has a fighting chance to free
herself, and to lead the fight for the freedom
of other Southern States
haze no candidate for any office I will
not myself be candidate for any office But
that The People shall have free, fair chance
to say who they want, [ am resolutely de-
termlned. With fractional feuds [ have moth
ing to do Neither, is ''the other faction" any
thing to me. The only faction that mean to
combat to finish is that facton-if there be
right to choose their own representatives.
We stand for PRINCIPLES, not men.
Now, if [ should take up too much space in
The Jetfersonian, discussing Georgia politics,
our national circulation would suffer But, as
| consider it supremely important to the
whole country that the right course should
be pursued in my native State, am resolved
to do my full share to that end
"7he Progressive Dem0crat' will concern
itself chiefly with Georgia interests In that,
will have my sayso on Georgia politics.
So, if you want to keep up with the battle
for The People Of Georgia, you need to sub
scribe to our new paper
And don't forget:
We have no slate, and no candidate for any
office My struggle has ever been, is now and
ever will be to put back into the hands of the
People the right to govern themselves.

Florida Moving Forward

A letter from Senator F. M. Hudson men
lions his purpose to introduce into the Florida
legislature an amendment to the State Con-
stitution, removing the time-limit to the legis-
lative sessions. There is no common sense in
time-limit to the sessions OF the State legls
latures. You might just as we'll put time
limit on courts of law, or upon sessions of
Congress-
If the men chosen to legislate are bad, they
can do all the harm they want to in a short
session. They can pass evil laws, or they can
obstruct the enactment of good ones. EX-
perience has demonstrated that time-limits
operate to the advantage of the corporations.
They save the people some money; but at
fearful cost to the cause of good government
1t would be far better to spend little more,
to get what the people need, than to keep on
saving few dollars on the legislature, while
allowing the corporations to continue to fleece
the public.
But the Florida legislature has taken one
good long stride in the right direction; it has
passed an act requiring uniformity, in school
books. For the same grade, the textbooks
will hereafter be the same, throughout the
State Once adopted, the books cannot be
changed within five years.
Let us hope that every Southern State will
dethrone the School-bool1 Trust, and will
furnish the books, free, to the pupils, as they
do in the West. Our people have been slow
to believe that they CAN have good laws and
good conditions, if they will only pay the
same attention to their public business that
they devote to their private affairs But they
are rapidly realizing that fact; and there are
maany forms Of roscazity IN o65ciozdom, that
will soon wither under public exposure and
prosecution.
[ earnestly hope that Senator Hudson's
amendment will carry Time-limits are the
straight jackets of men who want to do good
work: they are the fortress of those who wish
to kill off legislation that would benefit the
common people.
