SIDELIGHTS
ON GEORGIA POLITICS
By JAMES B. NEVIN.

education a study and has dedicated
the best there is in him to the work Of
advancing that cause.
The Georgia Normal and Industrial
school in Valdosta has no better or
more uncompromsing friend than Con-
verse. He participated generously in
the establishment Of the school--for lie
is a man of considerable means-and
1t is his pet Of all state institutions to-
day. He loves TO come to the legfsla-
ture, II for no other reason than to see
that the normal school gets all that is
coming its way.
He Is very regular in his attendance
upon the sessions Of the house. fire.
quently participates briefly in debate.
and pursues a safe and sane course in
voting.
Full and complete credit is due the
president of the senate, John NJ. Sla-
ton. who is the senator from the At
lanta district, for the quick passage
through the senate of the Atlanta cha
ter amendments bill.
The bin reached the senate very late
In the session, after a more or less
stormy career in the house, and there
was some question whether there re-
manned time sufficient to pass 1t along
to the governor for his signature
Mr. Slaton, in his capacity of senator
from the Fifth district, got right in be-
hind the bill, had it reported promptly
from the committee on corporations,
passed to a second reading in the house
Monday, and got II up for a third read
Ing and passage Tuesday-and then
had 1t transmitted Immediately to the
house, where the senate amendments
Immediately were concurred in!
The bill now awaits the governors
signature, which will be attached
promptly.
without Mr. Slaton's cordial, prompt
and efficient cooperation the Atlanta
charter amendments unquestionably
would have failed of passage.
Speaker John n. Holder knows how
to play the game as neatly as any one
His congressional adversary, Thomas
NJ Bell, Of the Ninth, wired Mr. Holder
Iuesaay inviting him TO Joint debate
IN Jackson county Mr. Holders home.
and In Hall county, Mr.. Bells home.
Mr. Holder wrote back that he would
have to decline to fall for that sort of
thing, He said that he had made no
speeches in Hall county, the home of
Mr.. Belt and would make none-that
ne thought courtesy demanded that he
keep away from Bells home base. He
added, moreover, that he didn't care to
debate in Jackson county, his home. as
he already had things his way there,
and Joint debate would not be at all
Illuminating or helpful to anybody, as
he saw things
Mr.. Holder however, furnished Nj
Bell a full list of the Holder speaking
appointments at points outside of Hall
and Jackson. and invited both MIR. Bell
and Mr. Charters to "joint debate" with
him at any or all Of them, If either
wished
Mr., Bell has not replied to Mr. HoI-
der's letter. so far.

However people may differ with re-
spect 10 the statesmanlike qualihcs-
tions Of the present legislature. folks in
Atlanta will bid it goodbye today,
unanimous in their opinion that it Is
composed in the main, Of lot Of
mighty good fellows.
It may not run extraordinarily to
high brows, and it may not have done
all those things It ought to have done
not to mention the things it may have
done that 1t ought not to have done
but from the purely personal point Of
view, the present general assembly Is
lhSable and all right!
Up one side and down the other, the
present house and senate measure up
to acceptable form. There are a few
Miss Nancies on the rolls. and here and
there a pretty cheap sort Of politician,
but in the average the acts Of the legis-
lature that adjourns sine die today
have been based upon patriotism and
marked conception Of duty and state
pride.
IT is customary to knock" the legis-
lature-all legislatures They have
been, from time immemorial, the butt
OF everybody's ridicule and the easy
mark Of the most inconsequential critic
And yet the legislature-the present
Legislature, no less than any-is truly
representative Of the people of the
state, 1t comes directly from them,
and is elected, as a rule. without undue
or sinister influence from any quarter.
The gentleman from Wayback may
not meet the ideas or touch the ideals
Of the gentleman from Bigtown, but
there are quite as many people wh5
live in Wayback by and large, as there
are who live in Bigtown-and. in the
righteous and Just view of things, "a
mans a man for a that"
Moreover the man who thinks that
the cities of the nation have any cor
ner on the brains thereof has another
think coming which would be a fat
and stale platitude were 1t not, never
theless, an everlasting and eternal
truth,
In its final analysis, the Legislature
generally does the things .the people
commission it to do.
Mr. Converse, OF Lowndes, is one of
the strong men OF the present house,
and it viii be rated generally pleasant
news that he likely VIII be a member
of the next senate.
Mr. Converse's hobby is education
and educational affairs. He is par
ticularly intelligent man, and a close

This paper believes in development. It believes in business and business men. IL wants more business, more capital, and more business men in Arizona. It has no time to talk about mlegitimate business. because there is no such thing All business is lcgiti- mate. and when a man departs from the plain path of business rectitude he is a lawbreaker and should be dealt with accordingly A malcfactor is malciac- tor. whether he iS nalefactor of great wealth or malefdctor of little wealth. And the man who is forever bowling about big business" not knowing whether there is or is not justification for the howl. is in the same class with the man who spreads malicious reports about his business neighbor. with the object of driving away his neighbor's trade.
 The Republican believes all business is good It doesn't believe all business men are good. any more than it be- lieves all preachers or barbers or shoemakers are good. And it hasn't absolute faith that the men who rend their hair whenever big business" is mentioned. if given the chance, would conduct that business any better than it is now conducted It frankly be- .lieves that MT Ripley is better railroad president than either Eugene DeDs.

the people of that town; for it is a notorious fact that Reno gets its daily bread from a special interest" The large and constantly growing divorce colony in the Nevada town bears elo- quent witness to that fact.
 The divorce colony supports the ho- tels: it supports the rooming houses; it supports the dry goods stores, the butcher shops. the saloons, the milli- nery establishments. and about every other business that Reno possesses. Without it the city would be as dead as Julius Caesar.

The New Movement.


 I, isn't strictly a new movement It is an old movement which has just taken form. It was inausurated at Columbus. Ohio. day before yestcr- day when the insurgent democrats of the Buckeye state assembled at the ,,pital and. in emulation of the re- publican insurgents conference oI d few days before, launched cam paign for the medication of progress sive" doctrines.
 The movement is extremely sisniii- cant. It means. above everything else opposition to the presidential aspira- tions of Judson Harmon. now SoNer- nor of Ohio. Harmon stands head and shoulders above every other man in the democratic party who is seek Ing the presidential nomination; and. more than that. he would stand the best chance of election of any possi- ble candidate But all that goes for naught with the intense gentlemen who attended that conference. The conference made the support of the Peerless Pettifogger from the shim- mering plains of Nebraska the one and only test of democracy
 There were some funny things about that conference. The meeting was presided over by Mr. John J. Lentz. of Columbus. who has twice represented the Twelfth Ohio district in congress.
 Lentz has had rather peculiar p0- liticaI history When Lawrence T Neal ran for governor of that state in 1893. Lentz travelled from end to end of the commonwealth making gold standard speeches. Then, when Bryan was nominated on free silver platform. he espoused sixteen to one just as ardently as he had fought it before. He is the deadly foe of the corporations. for political purposes; but he makes his living as a corpora ton attorney. The New York World. the leading independent democratic paper of the United States. used to call him The Human Porcupine."
 That's Lentz the new leader Of the insurgent democratic movement m Ohio. And that picture, with some slight variations is the picture of the leaders of the democratic insurgent movement throughout the United States.
 But it will be observed that adhcr- encc to Bryan is now the test of de- mocracy. Of course, adherence to a man means adherence to the things the man stands for. In other words, the ohio scheme is to commit the party to free silver. government own ership, and the general business dev- iltry for which democratic insurgency is known to stand.
 InsurGent democracy is not the party Of fixed principles. It is the party of opportunism-the party that catches at every passing ism that promises temporary ascendancy. II is. in brief. populistic party. Indeed, it goes farther than that It would in a minute steal the livery of social ism if it thought it could, in that dis guise. sneak into the capitol at Wash ington.
 Lentz is d fair example of the dem- ocratic insurgent movement. And, as q matter of fact, there is no essen tial difference between him and La Toilette the republican insurgent chief
