Railroad and Liquor Control.
''The question in this second race
still is, shall the railroad and whis-
key interests continue to drive our
State governs ert, harnessed like
cattle, between the traces? They
are in control Vow and are seeking
to retain control by eEecting Charles

and | call on all good men and good
women, too, who love their State to
rally around this great issue in this
determining and final struggle.
Gov. O'8TeaI Names Henderson.
Governor 7O,NeaI has said that he
would name the next governor, and
by that means will pay some debts,
and he has selected Henderson.
-Four years ago Charles Henderson
said that the allied interests which
financed the amendment campaign
would demand compensation for the
money contributions which they
made and were making in their fight
for control of the State government
in all it's branches. That demand is
not changed in 1914. The change is
in Mr.. Henderson, who is now their
chosen leader in the fight they are
making to retain that control at
Montgomery which wrote the liquor
laws of 1911 and the humiliating
rate surrender Of 1914.
Gives Railroads Old Power.
Charles Henderson has given
back to the railroads their old power
to deny il Alabama the rates which
they are compelled by law to give
the people Of Georgia. We have
just seen the regional bank go to
Atlanta, a great city built on red
hills through just and fair and gov
eminent made rates, with no other

race because the railroads have been
permitted by our politicians to fix
their own rates at what traffic will

People Win Back the Legislature.
The people, in spite of confu-
sion and manipulation and the play
of prejudice and the unlimited use
of false statements, and corruption
funds, as a result of last Mondays
election have resumed control Of
their legislature in both it's branches
and of their Railroad Commission.
Shall They Lose the GoverDorship?
But Of what avail will legisla-

people be in their need to control
corporate activities in our politics

REVIEW OF 1878

The year 1913 has passed, but il
left its mark on the history of this
country as shown in the following
Washington dispa oh of December
3tst:
Twelve months of 1913 wrought
many changes in the American
governmentTpolitical. economical,
t~iIancial-probably more farreach-
ing than any other year of the last
quarter century. This was appar-
emit today in a backward glance over
the memorable events of the last
year in all branches of govern nent
activity.
A DEMOCRATIC administration in
national affairs came into power
in this twslge months with a demo
cratic president and a democratic
congress at his back for the first
time since Grover Cleveland &C.
cupied the white house. The first
constitutional amendments since
1870 were passed. providing two
radical changes in the fundamentals
Of the government-an G tax
and the direct election Of United
States senators.
The national bank and currency
= system, designed to float the debt
of the Civil war, and which has
operated ever since, was re-orga-
nized. into a federal reserve system
in which the central bank plan, the
dominant system of Europe, was
rejected and a financial reorganiza-
tion perfected.
A democratic tariff law became
effective, the first since the Wilson
bill of 1898, and one of the most
comprehensive tariff measures ever
enacted.
a parcel post system was brought
into successful operation and some
Uf its rates were later reduced and
some Of its weight limits extended.
The interstate commerce rom
mission began the physical valua-
tions Of Railroads.&c. task which
will cost millions and take years to
complete, lat what is thought ulti-
mately to p.o,ide a basis of rate
making.
Meanwhile the So great eastern
railroad systems renewed applica-
tion at once for b per cent general
increase in freight rates and the
commission directed reductions in
express rates which are expected TO
save the public approximately $780,

The last steps in the building of
the Panama canal we're taken, with
the probability that the greatest
engineering feat Of the age will be
IN operation in the new year.
Prastlcal control of the Philip
