NEW YORK. - That the re-

many articles and letters appearing in

DR.. c. c. Stroud, director Of athletics
at Louisiana state university, in an
interesting review and forecase Of col.

of sport and competition in the Amer

does not contend that some of the

points out that each year sees the

I'VE speak from many years of

Since the law requires that the Legislature

we prepared resolution which provided that
the said vote be given once day, and from
day to day, TO q fictitious person, until the

Legislature as to their choice for the Senator

the Legislature to have voted for Robinson

Wilkins Micawber, Simon Suggs, or any
other fictitious person-one vote day-u1at1t

By William j. Harris, according to my
recollection.
The point of order was promptly sustained.
BY whom?
By the Hon John Marmalade Slaton,
President Of the State Senate.
This ruling which we deplored and con-
sidered Illegal, gave Smith just what he
wanted: it saved him from meeting the peo-
pie he was afraid to especially the
small country counties whom he had twice
deceived and twice betrayed

to certain facts in our recent political
history? You cannot judge the future, save
by the past.
The present Senator from Georgia was
elected Governor because of positive promises
to enforce the law against the corporations.
Those promises were contained III the Macon
Platform which [ will re-publish soon, in
order that you may see for yourself what
Senator Smith pledged himself to do for the
people. AS he wrote the platform himself, he
cannot complain of its re publication.
Just before the expiration of his term as
Governor, he was criticised by the Atlanta
Constitution, for having failed to make an
effort to keep his word, as to the reduction Of
freight rates. Realizing the force of the
point, the brace GoUer9eor looked around for
q Sc0pe-g goat, and he picked out S. G. McLen-
don of the Railroad Commission.
The brave Governor demanded that McLen-
don influence the Railroad Commission to
grant freight reduction on few articles of
northumberland reductions to benefit few
wholesale jobbers in Atlanta.
The Railroad Commission had twice before
refused to grant this Special Privilege to
ware Company ct al. Consequently, the case
was adiudicated and Smith knew t, because
he had been the paid attorney Of the Atlanta
jobbers who had sought the Special Privilege.
The Railroad Commission again declined
to grant the special and discriminatory favor
demanded; whereupon, Governor Smith
removed S. G. McLendon from Office, without
any attempt whatever to- remove. the other
Commissioners who voted the same way that
McLendon did.
One Of those Commissioners aoho 4,oted qcith
WcLendoa1 against the Special Privilege, was
afterwards HONORED HIGHLY BY GOV
ERNOR SMITH, In a promotion to the
Supreme Court of Georgia. I allude, of
course, to Hon. Warner Hill, who is still hold
ing his place on the Bench
In this case, vote against Special Privilege
had the unique result of kicking one official
up stairs, and another, down.
Governor Smith was so enraged by Guyt
McLendon's vote against the Beck Gregg
jobbers, that he monopolized almost the whole
term of one Legislature in the lynching of the
culprit. But Governor Smith was so graft
fed by Warner Hills vote against the Beck
Gregg jobbers that he said to Warner "Come
up higher"-and up Warner went
In order that it might be fulfilled, as was
said of old, "What is sauce for the Goose is
not sauce for the Camden"
Subsequently, there was chapter, or two,
which equally interested the curious. By
plausible pledges to accomplish herculean
1abors which would bless our remotest pos
terity, Ex-Governor Smith got back in the
saddle. The moment he did, the Saint who
had been sick, became the other thing, being
well again.
