SENATOR BACoN's SUGGESTION.

There is a disposition in certain
quarters-on the part of few only
howeVer-to criticise Senator Bacor
for suggesting that the democratic
national convention at Baltimore be
held two or three weeks (instead OF
only one week. later than the repub-
Iican convention at Chicago
We are not inclined to take issue
with the senator as to the probable
wisdom of such a course. The two
events were placed too near together
at the outset. The exploit of the
ex-president complexities the situa-
ton somewhat We we do not con-
cede for a moment that if he shall
be the republican nominee it
should call for any revision of Dom
cratic platform utterances. We
take it that democratic principles
and policies are not subject to YER
bal changes, no matter who the re-
publicans select. Democrats should
blush 10 make such an admission.
But if the ex-presidfnt should be .ne
choice OF his party a development
to be deplored by men of all par
ties) then it might and we think
would become matter of importance
who tho democrats shall select at
Baltimare as the party nominee.
The personality, the temp araments
and records, the associations and
tendencies Of men count in such con-
tests We believe and venture to
say that we do not regard one prom
inent democrat as available as an
other. The democrat who might
combat Taft successfully might not
be the man to match against the ex-
president, and vice versa. 1t is as
we'll to be candid with each other in
considering this matter We want
to see a democratic president in the
late the number of acres of cotton a
if the party dominates a man who
cannot carry New York state there
is virtually no hope of seeing a dem
ocrat in the white house. 1t would
have been wiser to wait at least two
weeks after the Chicago convention
and have time to select a nominee
according to the outcome at Chi
cago. Our conviction, though, is
that Mr.. Taft is the man the republi.
cans will select and that Governor
Harmon is the man to beat him.

STARTLING DEVELOPMENTS
AHEAD.
rom the Macon Telegraph.

From the Macon Telegraph.
According to a Colorado Springs
dispatch William Jennings Bryan is
"unstinted" in his praise of Theo-
dore Roosevelt's radical speech al
the Ohio constitutional convention
the only stated objection being that
it was not as radical in every par
ticular as it ought to have been.
No speech by any democratic can
didate seems to have pleased Bryan
half as much. Not even Woodrow
Wilson has ever been so warmly ap-
plauded.
Now, what are the probabilities in
case Roosevelt should fail to receive
the republican nomination, and in
case Bryan should not succeed in
Stampeding the democratic conven-
ton for himself? Roosevelt has vir-
tually threatened to head a third OF
peoples party. In that event will
Bryan take the stump for Roosevelt
just as he took the stump for the re-
publican candidate for governor OF
Nebraska? We wonder. This is to
be a year Of startling developments
and we need not be surprised al
anything.

RURAL FREE DELIVERY.
What a Freckled Faced Red-Headed
Man From Georgia Did.

J. Z. Green in Nashville, \. c. Home.
Along with the rural telephone,
| the rural delivery of mail takes a
position well up to first rank as a
modern rural convenience which no
generation before this one has en-
! joyed. It's another city convenience
that farmers enjoy, and yet they
can retain all the freedom of coun-
try life which can be obtained no.
where else except in the country.
And when l think of the origin of
rural mail delivery my mind goes
back to February, 1893, when
freckle-faced, red-headed man from
Georgia, as a representative of the
old Farmers Alliance, pleaded with
all the power and force that was in
him before congress for this con-
venience for the rural homes of this
country. 1t was in the strenuous
days of populism-in the days when
it tried mems souls to stand for hon
est convictions So persistent was
Tom Watson in his plea for an APP
preparation of the pitiful sum of ten
thousand dollars to establish some
test routes, some experimental rural
delivery routes, that those old fogies
in congress finally yielded and voted
for the appropriation as a dreamy
proposition, as a crank expert |
ment that would prove to be vision
airy and impractical and that would |
die of it's own weakness. And this |
marked the beginning of rural mail |
delivery in this country. Reforms
like that never originate among the
upper classes, among the powers that |
be, but they always start down in |
the ranks, among the common peo- !
pie. Indirectly rural mail delivery |
is product of the Farmers Alli-
ance, which made mistakes that cost |
the life of the organization.

FREAK LEGISLATION.

II all the bills introduced into
the various houses of legislature
throughout the country were to be-
come laws we certainly would have
a freak government A great many
freak bills are introduced every
year, even here in our Georgia legis-
lature, where it is proposed to regu-
late the number of acrs of cotton a
man shall plant, put up bars against
mosquitoes and do some other things
equally as much out of the ordinary,
and one with a fair sense of humor
would find it amusing to look them
all up in the records.
One of the most recent examples
has been furnished us by Indiana,
where a bill proposes to require ev-
cry person who takes a drink to take
out license. Representative Col
vert of Boston county has prepared
the bill. 1--WE have personal licenses
to hunt and fish and do other things
and follow out certain occupa-
tions," said the author of the bill,
so why not a license to drink"
1t would be a source of heavy reve-
nue. to the counties, and all money
derived from the sale of licenses
could be turned over to the educa-
tional fund. Licenses could be is
sued in the form of small pocket
card permits reading that the hold
er has been licensed to drink"
There are other states that are
equally as freakish in thir business
OF lawmaking. From Colorado
comes the interesting news that a
bill is about to be introduced in the
legislature of that state providing
that any surgeon who shall perform
an operation for appendicitis and
thereafter be unable to prove that
the appendix was in a diseased condi.
ton shall be guilty CT malpractice
and punishable under the pena
code.
Iowa's contribution is a bill max
ing it unlawful for you to put you
feet on your desk-that is, if you
happen to be a legislator. State Sen
ator Samuel A. Ettelson of Illinois
favors the passage of a bill to dit
ferentiate between married men ant
bachelors by comforting on bachelor
some suitable title that will indicat
that they are unmarried, just r
Miss" indicates single blessednes
and Mrs" indicates the married es
tate.
These are only a few of the mum
erous freak bills that are CONSTANT
coming up for the consideration O
our Legislators.

HE PREFERS CANNIBALS.
English Missionary Who Says They
Are Better Than White Men.


Daniel Crawford, a Central Africa
missionary of the Plymouth Breth-
rem, has returned to England after
% years life among all the horrors
of cannibalism in the Ketanga coun-
try, convinced that the black man
is in many respects superior to the
white man. He draws some remark
able contrasts between life in Lon
don and life in cannibal land
''Londoners," he said, live in a
double fog-mental and atmospher-
ic. You are, | think, becoming too
materialistic; the fight for bread is
getting too hard; there is no God
in anything.
But in Africa they never argued
about that. No cannibal for two
ticks would dream of denying the ex-
istence of the Everlasting"
Yet for many years Mr.. Crawford
was practically a prisoner of thai
fearful black king-the Emperor
Mushidi, at whose capital from 10 tC
20 victims were sacrificed every day
to appease the blood lust of this
wicked tyrant. Slaughter went or
all around this powerless white pris
| Oner till the mounds of human skulls
grew into hills. 1t was imprison
ment in a nightmare-"but now
am a prisoner held fast by the bonds
of low" said Mr.. Crawford.
Mr.. Crawford is the champion O
the native-of his art, his poetry O
expression and his delightful mag
cry. On the other hand, he is the
sworn enemy of the white civiliza
ton advancing by the south, pioneer
ed, he says, by the 'riff-raff of the
universe" and the scum of oul
race"

LITTLE INTEREST IN POLITICS.

! LITTLE INTEREST IN POLlIICS,
The News does not remember ev-
er to have seen as little interest in
politics in a year when county, state
and national elections were to be
held as is now the case in Georgia.
Candidates for office in 1911 COM
planned of their inability to stir up
enthusiasm among the people. New
er was that more aptly illustrated
than during the recent campaign for
governor in this state. Notwith-
standing the fact that an issue was
sprung that usually excites the ut
most interest-that of local option
or statewide prohibition-the
smallest vote in many years was cast
in the primary. There were three
candidates, three campaign mana
gers and a large number of speakers
doing their utmost to stir up enthu-
siasm, with practically no response.
The truth is, politics is not as
vital an issue as it once was in Geor-
gia. 1t has been superseded by bus
mess. Ours is a working, aggressive
people, and everyone is either trying
to better his condition, or at least
maintain the present status. Sham
reformers and sham reforms cannot
deceive them long at a time, and |
when they find how little there is in |
chronic agitation they relegate pol |
tics to the rear.
