THE PROMISED LAND.

calling upon the state for "a Moses"
Their direct reference is in the mat
ter of the W. & A. road, which is the
of the state of Georgia, with
the sovereign commonwealth using it's
powers to protect it's own interests al
though in direct competition and in
TIE same business as it's citizens.
If our Biblical knowledge serves US
right, Moses led the children of Israel
out of bondage in Egypt-but he was
rot permitted to enter the Promised
Land. The Telegraph draws peculiar
figure, and, possibly Internationally,
they have driven home a striking
truth. Georgia has suffered too much
already because of her leaders-they
led well for a while, but when the cru
cial moment came they were elsewhere.
1t is remembered that some historians
place Teddy Roosevelt far from the
scene of the fight at San Juan Hill.
The three Atlanta daily newspapers
have lined up squarely against the
sale of the state road. Governor Har-
ris is opposed to the sale, according
t. reports from his Waycross speech.
We can hardly fee, otherwise than
here is & niger in the woodpile'
Wien those three Atlanta papers get
tnpetnef. it WChIC also lead one to
believe that tie truth was so evident
that rome but the blind could see.
'anes Galway. The gifted contrib
utor to the Macon Telegraphs editor
ial Pages, suggests that Atlanta wants
the state roads extended to the sea-
with the states money, and because
of this feat Atlanta would profit i'm
menaely. 1t can not be denied that
Atlanta is EXTREMITY selfish, and it is
entirely plausible that this is one of
the reasons for the solid phalanx of
opinion which the Atlanta papers pre-
sent.
The Times-Recorder has already
spoken its opinion on the state road,
and was one of the first daily newspa-
pers in the state to voice its senti-
ments, The weekly press deserves the
honors for the first assault.
But the Times-Recorder is opposed
to the state of Georgia using its pow
ers in its three branches of govern
ment to protect it's own property when
in competition with its citizens and the
enterprises of the state In direct
the state of Georgia has
as much right to establish a daily
in Atlanta and forbid the
publication of any other, except its
own, as it has to operate railroad and
exercise its sovereign rights to pro-
tect i. against competition.
Repeatedly have state officials voic-
ed their praise of new enterprises and
development in Georgia There would
have been hurrah of congratulations
if it had been proposed to parallel any
other railroad in Georgia, except the
one owned by the state.
The Times-Recorder feels that the
dignity and respect of our state should
be too high to stoop in tactics other
than honorable.
Georgia needs a conscience instead
Ct "a Moses" She needs to get right
within her own self, and her high pur-
poses would act without "a Moses"

DAY FOR
THE DELEGATIONS

Chicago, June 6.-The Re-
publican and the Progressive
National Conventions will both
assemble tomorrow without any
indication that the leaders have
found the common ground on
which they hoped to establish
unity. Three days of almost
constant conferences have failed
to bring the Republicans and the
Progressives to an agreement on
a man for the presidential NOM
ination. A half dozen names,
any one of which is acceptable
to the Republicans, have been
rejected by the Progressives,
who have proposed practically no
name but Col. Roosevelt's.

cast her solid vote for Hughes and
to stay with him to the end. A
poll Of Kansas is reported to give
nine votes for Hughes. From New

get at least II votes, the Rhode

solid for Hughes, and substantial

Guard is Small
There are not now in that district
enough American troops to prevent De

handing the American forces in that
district with headquarters at Laredo
reported to Gen. Funston that he is
taking such measures as possible to
strengthen the patrol towards the cast
and to guard Laredo.
East Laredo, in Sapata county
across the southern boundary Of which
De La Rosa is expected to move there
IS only one troop of American cavalry.
If De La Rosa and his men reach
the Rio Grande before American troops
can head them off, enc ugh force will be
sent against them to drive them back
into Mexico and. it was intimated to
run them down on Mexican soil.
De La Rosa was one Of the leaders
of the group who directed the raids
west of Brownsville year ago. Since
