BOSS-RTDDEN,

We do not believe that the mem
bers of the committee will ever be
able to explain to the people why
primary was 1ot ordered. The
last state convention and the one
OF four years ago stressed nightly
the point of electing everybody by
the people, and in refusing or fail
ing to call primary the commit
tee is repudiating a plank in the
platform that was very prominent
in debate.
We do like to see people consist
ent, and the members of the state
executive committee are not con-
sistent in refusing to call pri-
mary to name the senator. If the
committee believed the election Of
Senator Terrell by the general as
sembly assured we feel certain
that a primary would already have
been called.-Dublin Courier-Dis-
patch.
In refusing to call the committee
together to even consider the cues
ton of primary Chairman Wrigh
has done just as everybody knew h,
would do Nobody is surprised, TO
if ever the state. in its whole histor,
was boss-ridden and ruled by polit
ical machine it is now. Afraid to q
before the people! Oh, consistency
of verify thou art a jewel, and Sa
tan was not the first nor the onl!
man to reprove sin.

FOR PEACE AND HARMONY.

The Macon Telegraph recently
printed the following communication
from a prominent citizen of Houston
county:
To the Editor of The Telegraph:
l have been strong Hoke Smith
man, and am yet, and desire to see
him in the senate. But have been
much impressed with Governor
Joe Brown and his administration
of affairs, and his decision in the
Stripping case l regard as the
strongest state paper ever eman-
ating from the gubernatorial Of
flee. Why not Hoke Smith for the
senate, and Joe Brown to succeed
himself? This plan will destroy
factionalism in Georgia, and unite
our people as aforetime. Yours
for the good of the state,
OLIVER G.. BATEMAN.
Many of the newspapers of the
state, among them some that oppos-
ed Governor Brown in both of his
campaigns, have made similar sug-
gestions. There is no doubt in the
mind of The News that the proposed
plan would do more than any other
one thing to restore political peace
and harmony throughout Georgia,
but We further believe that the great
est obstacle to it's contamination
would be Governor Brown himself,
for whom political life has no at
traction and who is happiest and
most contented when quietly and un-
obtruSively performing as a private
citizen the duties owed society and
state. AS is known to many of his
friends he had no desire to make the
race again in the last campaign, and
only yielded from a sense of duty.
Joseph M. Brown has made an
enduring record as an able, wise,
conscientious and fearless governor,
and should he ever for any reason
again consent to serve his fellow-cit-
liens he will be a very formidable
candidate.

THE RIGHT TO BARTER.


with flourish of trumpets tina
the state railroad commission, act
ing upon the advice Of Judg
Jeemsky Hines, the ornament in tina
office known as special attorney ant
who probably felt that he SHOULD
do something to let the people know
he is on hand and drawing the ia
salary they are paying him, nae
passed. or would pass. an order pro
hibiting the exchange of Transports
ton for newspaper advertising
space. Since then a ray OF reason
has penetrated the thought domes OF
the able and esteemed gentlemen Of
the commission, and another an
nouncement has been made to the
effect that the matter will again be
considered by that body at hear
ing on May 81, and at which the
newspaper men of the state have
been invited to be represented.
Speaking from an individual and
personal standpoint this new rule of
the commission would not affect or
embarrass The News in any particu-
lar, for we are too busy trying to
publish a newspaper that is salts
factory to our patrons and credita-
BILE to our town and county to spend
any time on the railroads except
when it is absolutely necessary; but
we desire to say a few words con-
corning the right of contract so far
as it may be involved in this strange
manifesto, which has no place among
the laws of free republic and lib
erty-loving people.
1t is all right to prohibit public
officials and even the citizen from re-
ceiving railroad passes; in fact, the
trend is in that direction, and we
believe it should be done The spirit
of this reform as to its general bear
ing is wholesome, too, but when it
goes so far as to say that a news
paper cannot swap its advertising
space for a ride on the cars the right
of contract is involved-the right, if
you please, to barter or traffic, to
swap value for value. Suppose, for
example, some of the authors of this
proposed rule IA majority of them
are lawyers) should need a ton of
hay or fifty bushels Of corn. And
suppose a farmer with hay or corn
to sell needs the services of a law
yer. If one of these gentlemen and
the farmer could agree as to prices
and quality of goods-hay or corn
and legal service-should he have
the right to swap what he knows of
law for hay or corn?
We hear most people answer:
why. of course; why ask such a
foolish question? Are you losing
your mental balance?"
Yet, when it comes to newspaper
publiNher swapping his advertising
space for railroad mileage the Geor-
gia railroad commission would say
the right Of contract should not be
allowed. The publisher of a country
weekly in Georgia does not ride on a
free pass. And Notwithstanding that
it does not seem to be the manifest
view of the commission he cannot be
influenced by the mileage doled out
to him by railroad in pay for ad.
vertsing.
The right to contract, the right tc
barter, is fundamental and cannot
and may not be abridged or destroy
ed lightly. The able commission il
reaching their decision will, we be
lieve, not forget the time when the,
were common, everyday sort o
country mortals like the rest of lis
and swapped eggs and butter ant
syrup and potatoes for calico and su
gar and coffee and tobacco.

Stops Fast Train and Obtains Help
For Master.
Away out on the Mohave desert, in
Arizona, little burro enacted a part
which would have called for a medal
II it were the custom TO make such
awards to dumb creatures.
When the engineer of the fast limited
decided to sacrifice moments running
time aud save the life of the animal on
the track he spared the life of a pros
pector. The heavy train came to a
stop, and the passengers. wondering
what had stopped it far from signs OF
civilization. climbed from the sleepers.
They found. standing resolutely in
the center of the track, a sad eyed
little animal. plainly marked with the
life of the desert. 1t refused to clear
the path of the train until the engi-
neer discovered tied to one of its front
legs slip of paper
The curious passengers crowded
about the engineer and read an appeal
for help from Henry Goodipg. Scrawl-
ed on the paper was the blunt state
ment he had broken a leg ten miles
south of Siberia and was alone.
At the first station the message of
the injured man was placed in the
hands Of men who brought GOoding to
the town.

CHICAGO MAY OPPOSE IT
Latter City Seeks to Have Location
Changed-To Decide at Gales
burg Meeting.

Joliet News: At the annual con
ference OF the Augustana Lutheran
synod to be held at Galesburg March
&c to April IL. the board of chart
ties will take up the question of add
ing 70 the Salem Lutheran home for
the aged which is located in this city
and if present plans do not miscarry
from $4,000 TO $4,000 will be author
lied for an addition to and remodeling
throughout of the present home. II
has been found the institution is too
small for the demands made upon il
and there is a waiting list of consider
able size and no possibility of the
present membership being diminished.
The Joliet home is a state wide in
stitution and though accommodations
are at hand for about 35 all the rooms
are filed. and It has been deemed ad-
visabIe 70 add TO it. The home is
owned and controlled by the confer
ence through it's charities board, and
much good work is done
MORE ROOM NEEDED.
At the present time there are from
30 TO 81 inmates-aged men and
wonderland more room must be had
10 care for others who are eligible
The property is valued at about S20,-
900 and the officers Of the charities
board believe the appropriation should
be such as u increase the valuation
to at least $50, 900.
Rev. Alvin a. Jacobson, pastor of
the Swedish Lutheran church in this
city. is secretary of the board of
charities, and he has compiled a resO-
luton which meets the approval of
the other II members of the board
and this VIII be presented to the con-
ference Rev c. p Edblom OF Au-
dover is president of the board and he
has made a visit or two to Joliet
and has become acquainted with con
ditions and will favor the move to
add to the plant here. Treasurer A
G. Anderson of Rock Island has also
been here and approves the recon-
mendation TO be made.
The plan is to build an addition
which will give room for almost 100
of the aged Swedish people Of the
state who seek the home as the place
in which to spend their last days. The
appropriation asked for will permit
of this and also allow for number
of needed improvements being made
to the present home.
CHICAGO WANTS HOME.
Rev Mr.. Jacobson stated he believ
ed the recommendation of the board
would be successful. Chicago may op-
pose the appropriation unless one is
also made for a second home to be
built in that city. For some time
there has been a demand made for I
