The Man Who Stays on the

in the Alabama election last Monday
NE was the victory of a man who "stays
H lon the job" Hobsons only claim to

performed during the Spanish-Ameri-
Gan War at Santiago. 1t was the kind

Ill lThey were greater heroes than Hob
HIson, because they have not tried to
commercialize, or make capital, of
their heroism.
o. Congressman Underwood's state
ment regarding the result of the cleo
ton is characteristic of the big man
that he is. He does not take the glory
to himself, but gives the credit to his
friends. He says, however, that the
result iustifes his contention that a
mans duty is to stay on his job and
attend to business"
There is no doubt that the manner
aspf the campaign of the two men had
much to do with the result. Had they
been evenly matched in ability-had
they stood for the same things and
had there been no difference in their
personal following would
have won because he remained on the
job while Hobson deserted it.
Both men are heroes in a way. Hob

Z smoke and battle and martial music
are in the air. His is the heroism Of
war-the Academy kind. Mr..
Underwood is hero of peace-the

The good people Of the great state OF

The South Georgia Sahara
brunswick News.)

That The Savannah Press has in
augurated a movement bound to grow
and gather strength as it grows, there
is not the slightest doubt. The people
of South Georgia are no longer con-
tent to serve in the graceless role Of
water boy to their selfish brothers who
chance to live in the northern section
of the state. A glance at the map
showing the distribution of the states
quote of offices within the past quarter
of a century or more will satisfy any
fair-minded individual of the correct
ness Of the attitude Of the people Of
South Georgia.
A vast empire in itself, developing
ten times as fast as any other section
of the state, growing and expanding
in every line of industry, creating
cities as if by magic, these sturdy
people have been time savers to
those in a less favored section in the
matter of government; in representa-
ton in the state house in Atlanta, and
in the capitol of the nation at Wash
ington.
Upon the theory that custom makes
law, our friends of the mountains
have come to believe that every Office
of honor and emolument created by
legislative enactment or otherwise in
the state of Georgia belongs to them
by some sort of divine right. With Il
greed and a coYetousness remarkable.
in its very selishness the sons of
North Georgia have hogged everything
in sight, and have come to look with
wonderment at the audacity Of the
people of this section who presume 20
protest against such unfairness. They
wonder at our presumption in daring
to wish a seat in the house which our
fathers helped to build! Why, their
gall, like the peace of God, passeth
1t is time, indeed, high time, that
the strong men Of South Georgia
should rise in their might and crush
with the sheer force of their power,
this coterie of politicians whose fine
Italian hands have planned and whose
cunning brains have conceived their
unfair and unrighteous treatment Of
practically one half of the people Of
the state!
With a population of 100000, with
