GoNERNoR sLATON,s sPEECH.

The speech Of Hon. John NJ. Sla-
ton at Macon accepting the nomina-
ton for governor was brief, sensible
and patriotic, and its sentiments
have been generally commented on
and approved. The following extract
from IL should inspire a feeling Of
pride to every citizen of the state:
4 believe in Georgia civilization
and institutions. The suggestions
OF distant states and alien people
arouse apprehension more than con-
dence. believe in constitutions
that guarantee the inalienable
rights of the weak and the unpopu-
lar. I believe in representative gov
eminent as the wisest product Of
the genius of our fOrefathers. !
trust the people as the final repos-
itory of that power upon whose eX-
ercise depend their liberties and
prosperity. The government is for
the people, and not the people tof
the government, and every effort OF
the statesman should be to make
the citizen a sovereign living in the
atmosphere of that freedom which
alone can make for his highest
and development
Il do not believe in that multipll-
cation of laws which hamper the
energies of the citizen and subjects
him to a serfdom as complete as If
by despotic authority
1--WE now enjoy blessings far sur
passing those of any people upon
the globe. Every citizen has the
right to appeal his cause to the
highest court of the state without
cost or bond. Justice is sacred with
in our domain, and every man can
claim it as a matter of right. We
are heirs to that liberty for which
orr ancestors fought for a thous-
and years, and no man can be de-
prived of his life, liberty and prop
erty save by a jury Of his peers.
THE people of every municipality
and county can control their own
affairs and decide their own inter
ests. and no centralized power can
dictate to them what they shall do
We have no common people, but all
are mobiles by virtue of the divine
stamp which makes honesty the pat
ent of nobility"

AFTER THE EXPRESS OCTOPUS.

The express companies have fallen
on evil times, and their long delayed
atonement will not be regarded as
fitting the crime or at all premature
by the people who have borne their
exactions with great patience. On
a legal quibble as TO whether they
were corporations within the mean
ing Of the Law, or merely stock asso-
Citations, and as such outside the pur-
view Of the interstate commerce act,
Judge Hazel Of Buffalo has decided
that the Adams and American ex-
press companies must face trial on
indictments filed By the Interstate
Commerce Commission alleging over
charges and unlawful concessions 10
favored shippers. And then in the
expiring days Of a wearied congress
President Taft signed the postoffce
appropriation bill, with which was
incorporated the scheme for par
GELS post and will. whatever its
defects, inject some wholesome com
petition into a necessary public ser
vice
The recent governmental inquiry
into The methods Of the express com
panies has revealed a monopoly ex-
pensive to the people Of the country,
unreliable and irritating.

COMING TO THE FRONT.

The United States, in 1850, o2cu-
pieG low place in rank among the
principal countries in regard to the
great interests, but today it has a
long lead in nearly all of those par
ticulars. Although it has only per
cent Of the words population it pro-
duces 20 per cent Of its gold, 80 per
cent Of its silver, 81 per cent of its
manufactures in the aggregate, 81
per cent of it's pig iron, 40 per cent
Of its coal, ~ per cent of its steel,
% per cent Of its copper, so per cent
Of its petroleum, 70 per cent of its
cotton and so per cent Of it's corn,
while it has 40 per cent Of the
worlds railway mileage.
How has this tremendous exDan-
sion in the country's activities in the
past half century helped the average
wage-earner, who constitutes the ma,
jority of the people? Here is one
way, and a very effective way, of an
swering this query. While the mum

FRUIT TREES on THE ROADSIDE

4 press dispatch = OF recent date
contained this interesting item Of
news:
Paris. France.-Reports from
several sections OF France indicate
that the plan adopted OF setting
ont fruit trees along the public
roads is meeting with great success
So far there have been very few IN
references with these edloles oy
travellers and others, and indlca-
tons are for large crops, as there
has also been on previous years
with the excellent care given 10 the
trees by The horticulturists OF the
Departments. The same rigorous
law and road patrol protects these
products without extra cost, and II
IS likely that this innovation will
spread throughout France. Favor
able reports also come from those
sections OF Germany where this
plan has been tried along public
highways. Such trees, except for
occasional spraying against insects
and trimming, do not require much
care and soon get 10 a bearing
stage. which pays an income sufl-
Gent 10 maintain fine system OF
roadways, TO say nothing Of the
added beauty 20 the highways
therefrom.
That IS a custom The News would
De glad 70 see spread throughout this
country, especially in Georgia and
Terrell county. The setting out OF
nut and fruit trees in this state has
made wonderful progress during the
past few years, but there should be a
great deal more done in that way
until the plains, hills and valleys OF
the whole Of Georgia are thus in
creased in value, while the added
beauty would be worth almost as
much in increased land valuations,
as well az Of pleasure given to AL
VINO look upon them.
Georgia should have more apple
and peach trees, more grape vines
in fact, more nut and fruit trees and
berries OF all varieties until the
state in every part would equa' the
valleys OF France and California in
such products.
In no state does the pecan tree
grow TO greater perfection than here
in Georgia; various kinds Of walnuts,
chinquepins and peanuts thrive here,
and many varieties OF fruit trees
that have beautiful foliage are
adapted to this climate. Why then
should not a plan to grow them along
the public roads meet with general
favor?
Just imagine riding along a road
with a continuous line Of attractive
fruit and nut trees in bloom or in
full fruitage, Certainly it would be
enough to inspire any man to get
near to nature by owning farm.

EARN WAGES.

Must the farmers make up their
minds to pay higher wages for farm
help? That is a question that farm
ers and farm journals all over the
country are discussing with interest
these days. The article that we re-
print today along that line is from
leading farm paper of the Middle
West. where conditions differ from
those in Georgia and the South
where negro labor is the important
feature of the situation. That fact
must not be overlooked in consider
ing the matter; but it will also be
conceded that as a general PROPOSE
ton Georgia farmers will confront
conditions that of necessity must
partake largely of those that prevail
| elsewhere. 1t is something to think
about, at all events.
