Edmund Burke, once making a
memorable speech in the British par
lament during a period of historic
strenuosity, referring to the three
estates in the government, waving
his hand to the press gallery, told
parliament that there sits a fourth
estate more powerful than they ALL"
That was many decades ago Today
member Of the Georgia legislature,
standing on the floor of either house,
might with a large measure of truth
paraphrase or extend the words of
Burke by pointing to the lobbyists
and remarling that there swarms

seed, to carry for luck.
AT the end of his voyage, in Amer

That shows you what chance will

great wealth, may spring from
