erty, or that if any kind of per-
sonal punishment be inflicted
upon him, 1t shall be by the
hands Of the law, and not by self
appointed or secretly instigated
avengers.
Inasmuch. therefore. 3 the la
Dor union, by ObstTucting and &C.
casionally preventing tho opera
ton of the public utilities, has
placed its mandate in opposition
to the States mandate, it may
become necessary for the State to
protect her citizens against its
acts which bring damage to them.
She now requires insurance
companies to make a money de-
post with her before doing bust
ness in her borders. These COM
panies represent capital. If she
would make the same require
ment of labor organizations, with
the fund to be forfeited to the
State in the event these organiza-
tions do deeds which damage the
public, she would be but treating
labor and capital alike-and who
can say that this would be un-
fair?
again. the BuBllC ulllllltS are
chartered to serve the public-all
the people. Their tolls and gem
eral conduct are regulated by law.
Therefore. they are, in great
mea sure, public institutions.
Hence it would certainly con-
duce to the public interest if
every member Of the labor union,
which assumes to control the
working powers of the utilities,
were required to take an oath be-
fore a State official to the effect
that he would do no act which
would obstruct that utility for
which he works from performing
the functions for which it was
chartered The penalty for viola
ton of that oath should be the
forfeiture of the right to service
on any public utility in the State
for the period of one year. The
same penalty should be made to
apply to any officer of the utility
in question.
Merely Views of Citizen.
OF course, the foregoing views
are merely those of a private citi-
zen. Yet l recognize that, hav-
ing entered as a public official
upon the presentation of the ques-
tions which the labor union has
made an issue with the State,
it is not improper for me in any
capacity to make a searching eX-
animation into this question in
volving the rights of each citizen
of Georgia. This J will undertake
to do after l give proper atten-
ton to my private affairs, which
have been placed in the back
ground for several years.

study of her chosen art, working in
New York under the best masters.
While here she sang before Madame
Sembrich, and the latter was so de-
lighted with her voice that she gave
her a recommendation and ordered
her to study under Jean de Reszke, in
Paris.
The Southern girl followed her ad-
wise, and two years ago she com
pleted the course prescribed by De
Reszke and his chief assistant, Oscar
Seagle, a native Chattanooga.
Since completing this course Miss
Baylor has appeared in practically all
the European capitals and is even
better known on the continent than
in the United States A brilliant ca
reer is predicted for her by all the
European masters.

Every night the veterans sang the
old war songs through, and repeated
on the chorus The entire encamp-
ment OF the Gray veterans in the

a chorus resounded that was thun-
dering even In the vast spaces Of the
battlefield.
The songs were more and more eX-
ultant as the evening wore on. Now
and then the rebel yell punctuated
the melody. The sound spread to the
Blue army and was there augmented
by the voices Of the Union veterans
until the battlefield became each
night a vast theater for the reCrudes-
cence OF the most wonderful martial
spirit Of all ages.

position is Endorsed and state
ments are made that the labor

almost unbearable
Thus far the labor union and
its few newspaper advocates are
alone in criticising the stand
which the oath of office made it
my duty to take. From these l
note that / have killed myself
politically"
Never Considered Politics.
As TO that act of so styled po-
liJical suicide, l will remark that
II never occurred TO me to con-
slider any political bearing in the
case. But, now that the point has
been raised, l will observe that
there was a matter of gratitude
to the people Of Georgia. which
may even be styled political graf
itude, which. l confess, swayed
me. ! refer to the fact that the
voters of this State have twice
conferred upon me the supreme
honor in their gift.

Therefore. with my reward al
ready bestowed. they had the
right to expect and demand that |
would safeguard their interests,
oblivious to inducements or
threats My duty was plain.
Now, there is one point which
/ must ask you to bear especial
ly in mind | refer to the fact
that there are thousands of mem
bers of the labor union in Geor-
gia who are golden hearted in
their love Of the State and of their
fellow citizens.
But they have not appreciated
the fact that in resorting to the
process of a strike they have put
themselves in direct rebellion to
the laws of the State. They have
not appreciated the fact that they
are the victims of a system which
holds itself above the law
The strike status is not of
Georgia. 1t is a foreign impor-
tation. Its aims are the securing
of preference by force. Its at
tempts are the control and vir-
tual ownership of the property
which others own and upon
which those others are required
to pay taxes TO the State.
Its concomitant is almost in
variably violence to the persons of
those who obey the laws in per-
forming the duties which the

quently in damage to or destruc-
ton of property which they have
temporarily abandoned for use,
but over which they keep a hostile
guard.
No Preference Is Shown.
Among these members of the
labor union are a number of my
friends of a lifetime. To oblige
them | would go to any honora-
Bile lengths in my power, and l
feel sure that / hold their recip-
rocal regard. Yet, probably the
highest duty l owe them is to
make clear to their minds the
fact that they should not allow
themselves to be deceived into
doing deeds which in their es-
sence are antagonistic to the very
genius of our laws, and which, if
tolerated, will breed anarchy, in
which they will ultimately be
among the worst sufferers.
1t is needless to say that the
State will not allow any class TO
have preference over others.
She does not intend that capital
shall Cypress labor, nor does she
intend that labor shall rob or de-
stroy capital, and she is very far
from intending that the allies of
union labor shall beat or kill or
drive from the means Of making
an honOset livelihood those labor
ers who do the same kind of work
the members of the labor union
do, and especially when union
labor has refused to do that work.
Now as to the claim that the
courts can not reach all cases in
which labor has rights against
capital. There is really very little
in this claim. But If it were ever
so true, it is the duty of labor to
go to the Legislature and have
laws enacted which will cover
such cases, instead of resorting to
methods which embarrass unof-
Tending thousands and are too
often attended by destruction of
property and by brutal violence,
and even death to persons.
No man can claim that the
Legislature would shut its ears
and turn its hands against the
proper demands of labor.
Court Is Proper Tribunal.
Therefore, what l have main
tanned as executive officer of the
State, and what I plead for as a
private citizen. is that all men go
into court with their differences,
if they can not settle them by
mutual agreement or by arbitra-
ton. | insist that no man and
no class be allowed any process
which amounts to a special privi-
lege. | insist that If any man be

VALUATION OF RAILWAYS.

President Tatt $ appr"Nal "1 the La Toilette bill. before qult- ling office. providing for the pllN- sical valuation of the railway properly of the United States, op- ems the way for a vast deal o1 work, the result of which promls- cs to have a far-reaching effect upon the future relations of Inc government and the big transport tatiOn companies.
 The La Toilette pill creates a hoard of statisticianS who for five years are empowered to lnNestl- gate and determine the exact phy- sical value of every railroad line and every commercial carrier in the country, the valuation to be based on the actual monetary in yestment and the good will. The monetary valuation will be fixed exclusive of improvements made from dividend proceeds.
 Statesmen and students of eco- monies who have devoted much time to the study of the trans portation problem contend that there is no justification for the tremendous increase in the cap italization of the railway cOm- panies, the aggregate of which is now in excess of $l3,O00,O00,000 They argue that only the actual money invested and the good will attendant upon successful opera ton should be figured in the val nation of railway stocks.
 This position is naturally op- posed by the railway men. who hold that the value of the rail- roads should he fixed by the earn- ing power of the lines and that the increase in business and fu- ture possibilities nccasioned by Inc development of the country should be included in the valua- tion of the properties. They ar que that the value of the trans continental lines, for instance, should not be limited tu the cost of construction and money in- vested in the building of the lines across the deserts and unsettled sections of the country, but should be measured by the carn- ing power of the roads from the regions that haxc been developed along their lines.
 The preliminary work proposed by tha La Toilette act will at least prove of value as furnishing data upon the actual cost of railways and the basis for adjusting the passenger and freight rates.
