THOSE AMENDMENTS.

The official ticket for the state
election next Wednesday, which is
printed in today's News, contains
number of constitutional amend
ments that will be voted upon.
The first of these proposed amend
ments is "for" and against" the rat
ification of the amendment to the
constitution, authorizing the abol-
ishment of justice courts in cities OF
the state having a population of 2O,-
600 or more, with the exception OF
the city of Savannah.
The second amendment is for the
creation of Bleckley county, and au-
thorizes the division of Pulaski
county to form the new county, with
Cochran as the new county seat. ~
The third amendment would in
crease the borrowing power of the
governor from 100000 to 100000
in making temporary loans for cur
rent expenses for the year.
The amendment that would re-
ouire tax returns to the comptroller
general to be paid on or before Sep
TENDER LIST relates to railroad cor
porations. 1t authorizes the comp
troller general to collect the taxes
from these corporations before Sep
TENDER LIST. These taxes are not now
paid until December, like other taxes
collected by the state.
The last amendment, if adopted,
will authorize the counties of the
state to levy taxes upon property for
the support of high schools.
The state constitution is becoming
a badly patched affair, and The News
is not sure but that it would be a
good idea to vote against all of the
amendments, especially those en-
larging the borrowing power of the
state and authorizing the levy of
more taxes.

KEEP MONEY AT HOME.

A prominent South Georgia finan-
eier, discussing business and money
conditions, expressed the belief that
the recent perfection of the insur-
ance laws in this state, throwing
safeguards around policy holders
and companies alike, will result in
increased general prosperity by slim
ulating people to keep their insur-
ance money at home.
LAS matter of fact" said he,
''the records show that Southern fire
insurance companies are doing pro-
portionately greater business every
year, for the reason that the Southe-
ern business man is beginning to ap'
preciate the economic advantage OF
paying his premiums in locality
where the money has some chance
of coming back to him in actual trade
and investment.
The only argument used agains
the home companies is that they are
not as big as some of the companie;
of the East, but because they are
not as big it doesn't necessarily fol
low that they are not as strong.
big fire insurance company has liza
bilities in proportion to its asset
and may not be any more eficientl
or economically managed than
small one. In fact, the young an
small company is likely to be mar
aged more efficiently than the bi
one. Being small it puts forth evel
effort to win the confidence of Il
public, and hence watches the SIN;
things and exercises economy in
possible ways. It is pretty certs
TO be sound, and being sound
strong.

Who Will Be The
Next President?


This vivid and sensational presi-
Dental campaign is charged with as
tonishing possibilities that extend
beyond the ballots of Novem Der.
Unless the result on November 5th
should be absolutely conclusive tne
excitement of American politics VIII
have just begun.
The democratic committee e1-
presses the unbounded confidence
that Wilson will be elected by a great
majority of the popular vote and OF
the electoral college.
The republican committee ex-
presses an equal confidence in Mr..
Taft's election.
And the progressive party are en-
Enthusiastically sure that Mr.. Roose-
Welt will be elected.
The impartial observers in the
country agree that Wilson's chances
are hest, but that the progress OF the
camnaign may develop increasing
and formidable strength for Roose-
Welt or Taft in the electoral college.
There are a great many people
who regard it as distinctly probable
that the strength of the three lead
ing candidates may be so divided IN
the electoral college as to throw the
election. under the constitution, into
the house of Representatives. In this
connection these are the facts to con-
slider:
In the election of president by
the house of representatives each OF
the forty-eight states has single
vote and the political majority in the
state delegation determines for whom
| that vote is cast. There are twenty
two state delegations in which the
republicans have a majority, twenty
two in which the democrats have a
majority and four in which the dem
ncrats and republicans are tied.
These four tied states are Maine,
with two democrats and two republl-
cans: Nebraska with three democrats
and three republicans; New Mexico
with one republican and one demo
Graf and Rhode Island with one re-
nublican and one democrat
The states that would cast votes 1ol

The Law i'm the Case.
(By John Temple Graves. }


| ly divided between parties as to
make a choice improbable, if not i'm
! possible, under the party divisions
| that exist.
If Wilson should receive the 260
votes and lack the seven necessary
| to a majority of the electoral col
Iege he would not be elected, and the
Roosevelt-Taft electoral votes would
be strong enough to throw the cleo
ton into the house. Then the equal
party division of the states might,
and probably would, make an cleo
! ton by the house impossible.
Whereupon, after ballots extend
ing through the session, the election,
under the constitution, would go to
the senate through the necessity of
eIecting a vice president and presid-
ing officer. The choice would be re-
stricted to the two candidates re-
ewing the highest vote for vice-pres-
ident in the general election. In the
case of vice president and presiding
officer of the senate so elected would
become the president Of the United
States.
But notice the complications. The
senate is republican, and the republf-
can senate would naturally choose
the republican candidate for vice
president, even though he had been
beaten world without end in the No
vember ballot. So that in the not
improbable event of the election go
ing to the senate the republican par
ty might elect its own presiding Off
Ger, himself a candidate, and make
Sunny Jim the president of the
United States.
Or in case Hiram Johnson of Cali
| fornia ran second in the elections the
republican senate might make Hiram
Johnson president OF the United
States.
If in turn the senate should by
/ death or persuasion divide equally
among three vice presidential candi-
dates, which is not impossible, the
secretary of state would become ex-
officio president of the United States.
SO that the field of possibilities in
! this wonderful presidential campaign
is wide open and fairly thrilling with
| interest.
The enthusiastic friends Of the
candidates may, of course, laugh al
| the speculation. but there are thous-
ands on the watch tower who will
find enough in the lookout to keeI
them awake to the end of the chap
ter.

THE DRUMS OF MEMORY.

Beat the drums Of memory
In a low ap@ lulling key,
Till my feet go marching on
Through the twilight and the dawn,
Backward through the paths of time
Into that enchanted cline
Where the blossoms never fade,
Where the sunshine and the shade
Dance in dapples on the grass
OF the orchards that | pass.
Beat the drums of memory
Till they thrill the soul of me,
And I foot the hazy miles
Into long forgotten whites.
Find the meadow and the brook
And the vine-hid forest nook,
Till the world that was of old
World aglow with rose and gold
Lures me with its hopes, forsooth,
AS it did when I had youth.
Beat the drums of memory
Let the roll a rally be!
Call the boys l used to know
In the wondrous long ago!
Call them all from field and farm,
Till again we are at home.
Let US boast, and do, and dare,
Having neither fret nor care;
Let us laugh at the far page
Where is told the tale Of age.
Beat the drums of memory
Till the old songs come to me,
Till I murmur faded tunes,
Hum contented olden crOons,
And the boy days all are mine;
Till nv veins Dulse with the wine
Of the days that were, made new
AS l find my pathway through
All the ever calling ways
OF the living yesterdays.

IF THE HOUSE HAS TO ELECT

IF THE HOUSE HAS HI ELECI'
Inquiry is frequently made about
the election of a president of the
United States when the electoral col
lege fails to elect. The article that
appears on this page today is an an
swer in the man to the question. 1t
was written by John Temple Graves,
formerly of Georgia, but now a writer
for the Hearst papers, and is of COM
prehensive nature.
The voters, when they cast their
ballots on November 9TH, will not
vote direct for presidential candi-
dates. That is, of course, generally
known. The vote is for presidential
electors in each state, one electOr for
each representative and senator in
congress. Georgia will have four
teen electors in the next electoral col
Iege. The electors will meet in their
respective states after the November
election and cast the vote of each
vote in each state. The result will
be sent to Washington by special
messengers, and deposited with the
president of the senate and counted
and the result declared. There must
be a majority of electoral votes to
elect a president. A plurality will
not suffice. If no candidate gets a
majority then the house of represent
atiyes comes to the front as fac
tor. The modus operandi is clearly
described in the article We print.
1t is possible, with the three can
didates now before the people, that
the electoral college will not be able
to give majority to Taft, to Wilson
or to Roosevelt. 1t would be posi-
BILE for Wilson or Taft to lead large
ly in the popular vote and yet fail of
election. That knowledge explains
the general and growing interest in
the possible subsequent procedure.
We are hopeful that the electoral col
lege may contain q safe majority for
Wilson, but the people would do well
TO consider the contingencies that
could ensue-for even with the safe
democratic majority in the present
house of representatives the selection
of democratic president might be
decidedly problematical.
