A Georgia conterrfporary, the Augu*^- .
ta Chronicle, is filling tlie suecrssive
humid days, with excitement. The nnain
idea of it all, we gather, is of a two
fold nature, viz., a defence of former
Governor "Slacon in gdnerai and in the
matter of the commutation of Leo
Frank in particular; and a defiance, or
expose, of Thomas E. Watson, the
brilliunt and indu.^trious Georgia .super
demagogue. Ijet the ('hronicle explain
for itself,
.Just as we expected, of course. The
Chronicle is, already, beginning to re
ceive insulting letters in connection
with its fight for law, as against out
lawry, in Georgia—that isi if we could
be insulted by the class ou p*ople who
write such letters.
As a rule, these letters are anony
mous, diid practically alt of -them are
of a character that easily betrays illi
teracy, not to say a density and pre
judice that-are truly pitiable. Making
it all the more necessary that we pur
sue the campaign of the truth and en
lightenment, in order, if possible, that
such peopte-fifiay, in time, be shown
the light and made to see just how
wofully they have been misled and
imposed upon by a man who ha^. all
along, pretended to be their truest
friend and champion; a man who is so
far superior to them in intellect--and
so far inferior to them in real honesty
of purpose—that it is no trouble at ail
for him to make them believe that
black is white or vice yer^a.
But we have no quarrel with these
poor dupes of Tom VVa*J9on; on the
contrary, they merely excite our pity.
We know that, deep, down in their
hearts-at least, this is truo of most
of th^*m —they mean well; they believe
they are thinking right and doing right
Their only trouble is, of corrse, that
they are permitting Tom Watson —
whom they ignorantly reg.ird as one
of God,s anointed—while Tom himself,
laughs at their folly —to ^do their thin
king for them. Not only does he think
for them, but he tells them what to do
--and they do it.
So we sav again, the fault is not
theirs; it is his. It is Tom Watson’s
fault, primarily and, secondarily it is
the fault of a vast majority of the
newspapers of Georgia that they do
not use their columns freely to enligh
ten these people and, thereby, oifset,
as much as possible, Watson’s fright
fully hurtful work.
We Know that, for the most part,
thfse people-’these very people who
have been made to believe that Gov
ernor Slaton was paid money to com
mute th Frank sentence--that “most
ly L. and N railroad lawyers” asked
him to do it, even now, that the Chron
icle is being paid to expose these slan
ders-really preff'r truth to error; that
they are earnest and generally speak
ing, honest in their convictions.
Why, in just one day, the Chronicle
received a dozen or more letters asking
u.s “how much Jew money” are we
getting; “how much is John Grant
paying us etc, etc.
Such people of course, cannot under
stand how a newspaper, or an indivi
dual, can undertake a work of this
sort except for .-“pay” They knew
t'ley wouldn’t do it them.selves; there
fore, they can’t believe that anyone
else would.
For hasn’t Tom Watson hammered
that sort of things into them for mon
ths and years; always that there was
something wrong with everybody- -ex
cept himself. And, of course, they be
lieve it; for a man of Watson’s mental
attainments and facility in writing—
more than a genius when it comes to
reaching and playing upon sudi “intel
lects*’— finds no difficulty at all in
making them believe what he pleases.
They, probably, wouldn’t believe us
when we tell them that nobody has
“paid” us to do anything; that we
took up this fight on our own motion.
