Montpelier. Nov Ex-senator Dale
presided in the upper House to-day
with grace, dignity and discrction The
only thing that marred the smooth
progress Of the proceedings was the
matter of salaries for members The
House resolution providing for the
printing of 500 copies of the report
bcrs, and its reference to special
committee, was adversely reported
upon and its third reading was re-
fused at the morning session.
In the afternoon Mr. byer of Addi-
son moved n reconsideration, saying
hat he believed the Senate intended
to be entirely fair. This brought to
his feet Mr.. Laird of the committee,
who protested against any such i'm
putation. He said the committee re-
ported adversely on the proposition be :
cause 1t seemed that the report which
had been published contained all the
information needed or desired and
| that tn" Senate had all the opportun-
! ity needed to act on the matter at the
morning session. In the opinion Of the
senator the proper way now 10 treat
the matter was by the Introduction OF
bill, If any change was thought de-
sirable, and not by a reference to n
committee.
1t appeared in the course of the dis
cussion that some members of the
! House thought the senate had no,
treated the proposal with due and
| proper courtesy, and Mr. Mower OF
Burlington favored a reconsideration
of the Senate's action and a printing
of the report, though he did NOT stat.
that he favored the recommendation.

TOM WATSON AND BALTIMORE.

Why draw a line at Tom Watson
of Georgia? He should attend at
Baltimore as delegate. He has
convictions as to what should be
done there. He knows the men who
aspire to the Democratic nomina-
ton, and he is familiar with the
issues of the day.
Let is be admitted, for it is fact,
that Mr.. Watson for some twenty
years past has run an uneven, not to
say an cratic, course. He has been
in and out Of the Democratic party
While out he has advocated some
strange doctrines; while in some
stranger ones. A red-headed man
of resolution, he has at all times
worn his own hat and done his own
thinking under it.
Today Mr.. Watson is Democrat
in good standing, and has helped in
the achieving of some recent Demo-
cratic results in his State. He has
his enemies, of course. Such men
always have. Had he not been indi-
vidual and aggressive he could not
have won the place he occupies.
1t is urged against Mr.. Watson
that his presence at Baltimore as
delegate would be unwise; that
Democrats in other States would be
offended; that he represents opin-
ions out of line with Democratic
thought and purpose.
Still, it is fact that such opin-
ions have not barred Mr.. Watson
from influence recently at home.
With all his pOpulist record and
vagaries to answer for, he has yet
been welcomed back into the Demo-
cratic fold. The veal was served
in due order and quantity, and the
Wanderer Toasted. And he stated in
response to q toast that he was back
home to stay.
Such man is not easily put down
or obscured. He has a way of as
sorting himself, in keeping with his
own ideas Of his own importance.
He may not at present want any
thing for himself, but it is natural
for him to want say in what shall
go to others. His recent part in

Georgia has been that of a man
booming his friends, and not him-
self.
After the two leading presiden-
tial nominations have been made.
the credentials of supporters are not
gong to be severely scrutinized.
The Democratic managers will need
all the votes they can get. Men who
have been out of the Democratic
party and are now back will be as
necessary to success as men who
have never "erred and strayed like
lost sheep" All must work together
il the party is to win in November.
Mr.. Watson need not dominate
the Georgia delegation at Baltimore.
But if he desires place on it, and
is now reading his title clear to
Democratic recognition at home,
why should he not be chosen?-

serving the party at that time? Let
us see. Immediately after the eXecu-
tive committee had adopted the rules
governing the primary for Governor
and Statehouse offices, this paper
denounced the action of the tried
and true Democrats and arrayed
every influence in Georgia against
them, in their power.
They succeeded in lining up every
voter who had not participated in
primaries for many years to vote in
that election, not as Democrats, but
as white men regardless of party af-
fliations. Hon. Thos. e. Watson
was invited-he was urged and he
was begged to come into the cam
paign and help to take from the old
line Democrats the principles of the
party and inaugurate in Georgia a
new regime in order to bury the
principles which had stood for these
many years. Mr.. Watson, who had
not participated in a Democratic pri-
mary since the early nineties, joined
in with the faction supporting such
methods, and through his influence
the candidate of this great paper
swept the State for Governor.
In 1908, Mr.. Watson saw fit to
throw his support to Hon. Joseph M
Brown for Governor. Then it was
that this great paper discovered that
Mr.. Watson was traitor, a rascal,
and the English language could not
supply the denunciations it heaped
upon the gentleman. But in 1910,
Mr.. Watson again supported it's can
didate and all differences were soon
forgotten and he was Immediately
received with open arms and lauded
to the top round of praise. But as
soon as the election was over, Mr.
Watson was forgotten by it and it's
candidate for Governor repudiated a
letter supposed to have been written
by him during the campaign which
brought about a patch-up and in
duced his support. This same candi-
date received his nomination at the
hands of Mr.. Watson on two occa-
sions and then he was discarded; all
this was being carried on before Mr.
Watson ever declared that he had re-
turned to the Democratic party. But
that made no difference to the
ring Their purpose was to win
regardless of party or the interests
of the people. The people of this
State have learned their lesson, bit
ter though it may have been. But it
is quite certain that from henceforth
and forever they will not lie down
with this crowd Of politicians who
have proven to the people of Georgia
their interest is for no other purpose
than to advance their own political
aspirations regardless Of cost to the
party.
The appeal made by this paper for
the factions to join and eliminate
Mr.. Watson from the political field
in this State is ridiculous. Which
can we trust-Mr. Watson or this
band OF political trickaters in Geor-
gia who have deceived US so often?
We are willing to abide the decision
Of majority Of the conservative
Democrats Of this State who have
Weathered many storms of political
strife and deceit and who today have
come into their own, and if Mr.. Wat
son desires to remain with us and
abide by the Democratic principles
which have governed this faction for
many years, we welcome him to the
fold

and more to the aims and objects for

less and a few others of the Fourth
Estate), and it made no apology for
doing so.
We reproduce herewith, an edi-
torial from the Athens Banner
which turns a little more light on the
graphophone attachment dominated
by Hog-it-all Smith:
The Banner has always stood for
Democracy. 1t has been aligned
with the conservative element of the
party for these many years. 1t has
never been guilty of taking hold of
and helping to hold up the hands Of
any man or set of men in their greed
for office by sacrificing the interest
and the welfare Of the party. 1t has
never gone off after false issues to
deceive the people into voting for
measures and men in order to secure
a political victory. 1t has been con-
sistent in it's policy in advocating and
standing for the principles Of true
Democracy. The time has come,
however, when the attention Of the
people Of this State should be called
to the misleading statements and at
tacks on certain organs which have
contributed so much toward the de-
feat of true Democracy and contrib
ute so much toward deceiving the
people Of Georgia into voting for
false issues and measures seemingly
popular-and were population the
time being, but after few years the
people have learned the purpose and
object of these politicians who sue
ceeded in landing in office on issues
and measures which have proven
detriment to the State which will re-
quire years for Georgia to recover
from. The great and only daily
which covers Dixie like the dew
has come out in lengthy editorial
calling on the people Of Georgia to
condemn Thos E. Watson, and in
scathing terms it denounces him as
traitor and a menace to the party.
They call on the faction which has
defeated their candidate and meas
ures on several occasions to join in
with them and eliminate Watson and
save the party. This is politics and
is III keeping with the game they
have played many times in the past,
and in every instance the people Of
Georgia have awakened to find that
they have been handed lemon, and
that the same odd ring" has been
using them again for political pur-
poses.
But after all, what are the
facts in the history of this remark
able sheet which has covered
Dixie like the dew" for these many
years? In 1906 the conservative ele-
ment Of the Georgia Democracy met
in Atlanta and formulated rules for
the governing Of the Democratic
party to be held during that year.
One Of the first acts Of the represen-
tatiyes Of the conservative element
Of the party was to provide for th o
protection Of the party in this State.

SAYS BRYAN IS WORTH ABOUT
@0nn
S2OO.OOO.

In the September American Maya
zine there is an article containing a
great deal of ''incide' information
about the Chicago and Baltimore
conventions. One Of the interesting
points brought out is the relation
that existed between Bryan and the
rich and powerful New York dele
gates. To his face they were friend
ly, but behind his back they reviled
him Especial attention was paid
to the alleged great fortune that
Bryan has made. The article goes
on:
'It was a scandal and must be- de-
nounced. Ideas of the extent of the
scandal varied with the various no.
tions Of what constitutes a fortune.
Southern bankers and lawyers put
it at about million. Their more
prosperous brethren from the North
could not call a million scandalous
and they estimated the Bryan pile at
five millions.
And every cent Of it made out
of the Democratic party. He has
capitalized the notoriety we have
given him. If rumors of these con-
ferences reached Mr.. Bryan they
must have made him pensive, for
he is said to entertain respect for
the dignity of dollar that would
meet the approval of Mr.. Rockefel-
Ter. 1t never occussed to these con-
spirators that to save even a misera-
BILE million dollars from the proceeds
of lecturing and writing would be
impossible We know little about
Mr.. Bryan's stock lecture except
that it is said to appeal to the kind
of intelligence that adored the late
Ian MacLaren. No doubt he is well
paid for his platform appearances.

NO man could adequately support
himself by the "hard labor" of a
well-conducted prison. Yet in the
Southern States where one-fifth of
all the wage earners are under 10
years of age, children are employed
at gruelling work for 10 and 12-
hour periods, exposed by their very
1mmaturity to dangers and accidents
spared their elders. A child not
literally worked to death tending the
WhIrring wheels may easily be
Saved to the decentralization that
ends in disease or drunkenness.
Well directed forethought guards
the gateway Of citizenship, demand
ing that the emigrant show promise
in age, health, efficiency and capacity
to care for himself. But what of the
unguarded door through which the
children of the nation find entrance
into industry?
The child OF today should begin
about where his parents leave off if
our civilization is to be progressive;
but the emaciated little elves in a
cotton mill, with minds dwarfed and
vitality drained, often end where
their parents began. Robbing the
child of it's life and robbing society
OF childhood are twin sins that cry
to heaven for vengeance. Eight per
cent of the child workers of the
country are but 10 years old, 9 per
cent only II. Adding one group to
the other proves that one in every
five Of all the little wage earners are
11-or under.
To prolong childhood's period Of
development is to insure rising
civilization; to ignore the claims of
the child is to slip back ourselves.
How far we have slipped back is
proven by the fact that we plead for
the protection Of the children on the
base ground Of expediency. The
United States report on the condi-
ton of women and child workers in
the South proves that a thousand
little ones under II years old toll
all night, tending tireless machin
ery-babes of Z, children of 9, lit
tie patriarchs Of 10, children who
must be reused at times with dash
Of cold water, kept AWAKEN kind
neSs-with- midnight coffee.
Yet a protest against these con-
ditions caused an American woman
and her hearers to be drenched wit
fire hose in the streets of an Ameri-
can city.
