In accordance with the Act of Congress, March 3, 1879. MONDAY, AUGUST 27, 1906. Ungenerous. How long will the Atlanta newspa pers continue to abuse our patience? Was the hope vain that the primary in Georgia the other day would end the pot and kettle tirades that blackened the pages of the Journal and Consti tution till they were only fit to stain the hands of self respecting readers who picked them up? On the day following the primaries Clark Howell came out in the Const! tutlon with a signed editorial calmly giving the reasons why he was de feated according to his lights and end ing with a manly acknowledgment of the situation and a pledge of his sup port to the nominee of the party, a truly democratic submission to the will of the majority of his party as ex pressed in the primaries, coupled with some very patriotic sentiments on the love he felt for his state. Mr. Howell's editorial was generally commented upon by the press of the south in a most appreciative way, several papers known to be partisans of Mr. Smith even joining in praise of the fine spirit shown by Mr. Howell after his defeat in one of the most bitter campaign: perhaps ever waged In this country between candidates of the same party. So when Hoke Smith's Journal of that evening reached he desk of The Evening Times and an editorial enti tled "Ungracious In Defeat" smote the unexpecttng eye, we could only say "How long, O Lord?", and then in de spair read how the Journal said Mr. Howell exhibited at the conclusion of the campaign either the same woefuT ignorance or willful desire to misrep resent that characterised him during the campaign, and considerable more along the same''llne that we had to read, hut with which we will not in flict our readers. Even if Mr. Howell had taken his defeat hard, ill would It have become the victorious JAuWkto comment on it, but as a mattlt 1t' fact the Journal is the first paper to distinguish a note of bitterness in Mr. Howell's editorial. The Journal seems, to be both ungen erous in the hour of triumph and ob tuse in its understanding of the com mon idioms of the language. Speaker Cannon's Error. The Washington Times, which Is an independent republican paper, has found a serious misstatement in Speaker Cannon's speech at Danville, Illinois. Mr. Cannon said that the weekly earnings of all employes had Increased 53.4 per cent, from 1894 to 1904, and that the retail price of food had increased in the same time only 12 per cent. The Washington Times has exam ined the bulletin of the department of labor and commerce, from which Mr. Cannon quoted, and finds that it shows that the total wages paid out in a certain list of 3,732 industrial estab lishments was 53.4 per cent, larger in 1904, and when the increased number of employes is taken Into considera tion the weekly earnings per employe In 1904 were 14.8 per cent, higher than in 1894. It seems that notwithstanding Mr. Cannon's, evident ability to read Mr. Roosevelt with telling understanding, he cannot read statistics and at the same time see what they mean. He thought and made his hearers think that wages had Increased 411-2 per cent, more than the cost of food, whereas they acttually increased only about 3 per cent. more. Running on the Ten Commandments. District Attorney Jerome declares that he. Is running on the ten com mandments, that Hearst is, that Hlg glns is going to, and that Odell Is the greatest exponent of them all. He adds by way of emphasis that there is no one in public life, on th plat form or In the platform, who does not fcave regard for the ten command ments. That is an unusual state of Affairs in New York politics. But Mr, Jerome spoiled the fine irony of It when he said that Mr. Hearst could not claim to be the prophet who came 1 mm VMtor down fru the mount like the ten coin mandments, that he had Habitually; been more like Mosea, who on a cer tain occasion, when Irritated, broke them all at once. Is This the Reason? In consequence of his adoption of the ettsy method of spelling in public doc uments this paper cannot help har boring a sneaking belief that Mr. Roosevelt must have had some such experience with orthographical dlflicul ties as the man the humorist Marshall P. Wilder used to and doubtless stl is telling of. That fellow wanted, to go to Narragansett Pier for his vaca tion, and in order to make sure of rooom at that popular northern resort he stepped Into a telegraph office in town and jauntily asked the young woman at the desk to write him a mes sage to the Pier engaging his room. "How do you spell Narragansett Pier?" asked the sweet operatress. "O, just the usual way," he replied carelessly. "But I don t know the usual way, and I don't have to write your tele gram anyway, responded the girl saucily. Do I have to spell it before I go there?" asked the man. He was told that he had. "Well, then, I'll just go to Newport said he, and all was serene. The Wilmington Messent calls at tentlon to the fact that Mr. Bailey Robeson, who has recently bought the Mooresville Enterprise, got the first daub of printer's ink on his fingers in the Messenger office as a typo. He has been in the railroad business of late, but as the Messenger remarks: "He is like all the balance of the craft. It Is a hard life, but there is a charm about the work which when once experienced it is hard to shaki oil" The Atlanta News congratulated the people of Georgia the other day over the marriage of Lulu and Leander, who have been carrying on an ex tended peek-a-boo courtship in the colored supplements, but the congrat ulations, are premature. The distin guished characters have started on their honeymoon and they start well toward the divorce courts. Georgia should have been satisfied with the end of its campaign. The Greensboro Record permits itself to say in an unguarded moment: . South Carolina is distancing all competitors. She has lynched three men in the last ten days." That a paper named Record should make a break like this is inconceivable. Three in ten days Is slow time com pared with North Carolina's record of three In one night. A citizen of Cincinnati threatens to enter suit against his divorced wife because she had her name printed in the city directory as his widow, on the theory, perhaps, that he resents the implication of being a dead one. "To the consideration of young Wil lie Hearst" The News Leader of Rich mond "commends the example of young Mr. Howell of Atlanta, Ga." ' If Mr. Howell should see this it will be a worse blow to him than his over whelming defeat for the nomination to Georgia's governorship. There is at least one young man in New York who is opposed to the edu cation of the negro, and he is the chap whose father's fortune went to Booker Washington Instead of the rightful heir. The wicked will doubtless be Inter ested in the statement that hereafter according to Mr. Carnegie's method they will spell it dam, which looks better in print than a dash. A fashion paper says that a visitor can easily get along In New York on ten dollars a day, and we believe that, provided the visitor turns in at night with the chickens. Alabama is about to elect two alter nate United States senators, but we should not be surprised to hear them complain because the honor carries nothing In the way of salary. Pat Crowe has announced that he will reform, for the reason, perhaps, that he desires to give the jury that acquitted htm some ground on which it can ease its conscience. A strange bird was shot last week at Newport and feathered experts -are endeavoring to establish its identity. No one, however, haa suggested that It might have been the stork. President Walter of the Seaboard is called upon rather early to deny that he intends to resign, and Mr. Barr had the same trouble, but he resigned. New York may be entertained with the Bryan parade up Broadway, though New York would much prefer a real circus. Postmaster Douglass may not object if they elect another chairman so long as they do not interfere with his pay ing job. Of course, the Fifth District Combine will issue a few shares of stock to Mr. Bryan. Reformatory Needed People living lit afcy of the ifepii' lous towns of this state do not noed to travel around to discover that the crying need of the country is for a reformatory for young criminals; it can be seen almost daily. There are a few who say such a thing will do no good; that these chaps who cannot be reformed had as well be sent on to the Voads and be done with it, but this will not do; besides it Is inhu man. It is demanded of society that : mg squandered all I had saved in it do all it can at reformation, espe- the ten years previous thereto, my daily of the young. Surely send ins attention was called to the Keeley a young boy among experienced crim- institute at Greensboro, then a com inals is not the way to try to restore ! paratlvely new thing in North Ctro- him. On the other hand it may be found that a reformatory is cheaper in the end; it should be made a place where these young chaps are made to work and pay for their keep, not a place for recreation. In any event decency and a true regard for the re sponsibility resting upon the Com monwealth demands that we make some effort; that wo try to reform this class before sending them where they will get in the mire still deeper. If memory serves me correctly, Sen ator Scales some years ago came near getting such a bill through, but for some reason never explained, certain men of enough influence killed it. Of course when the question is raised in the legislature we hear all the stale talk about retrenchment and re form, the stock in trade of the dem agogue and too often of the man who is not expected to join in with these men; they harp on this, fume and sweat, then turn around and vote for other measurdes that are anything but deserving. The truth is the aver age legislator is like the average con gressman he first looks at the re sult of a vote as effecting his stand ing; he may have no desire to return to the legislature, but he wants to stand In with the class of people who are supposed to control votes. When we get a law-governing body or men who will do things because the pub lic good demands them we will get along far better, though such a time mav be far removed, uemagogiu-h die sometimes, but they seem to be born faster. Greensboro Record. The Turiff the Issue. That tariff revision with its applies tlon to trusts and great corporations Will be the chief issue of the next national campaign is generally under- tood. The democrats recognize that is the strongest plank they can put n their platform and the prospects, or Its success are growing brighter. President Roosevelt, despite the jt.rlsh he has made in the lisht of a trust-buster. is unapuoieuiy a standpatter." His recent letter to Ongressman Watson gives very little encouragement to the revisionists in the republican party. The "standpat ters" In congress are In hearty sym pathy with what the president has said about no revision so ions as prosperity continues. "Whenever a given sched ule or rate becomes evidently dis advantageous to the nation," etc., says the president. And the republican party is to be the Judge. There are many schedules and rates that are "evidently disadvantageous" to the great majority of the people of this country now ahd have been for years. But the republican party refuses to acknowledge it because the sacred tar iff must not even be Jostled. Rates and schedules would have to be so "disad vantageous to the nation" as to arouse a storm of Indignation the country over and threaten republican senators and congressmen with the loss of their ob3 before the party would admit that revision Is advisable. What President Roosevelt says pleases the leading "standpatters. Senator Aldrich, Secretary Shaw, Sec retary Taft, Senator Foraker and all the rest of them are in complete ac cord. Iowa has already fallen in line despite the former pose of Governor Cummins. Massachusetts will proba bly do the same thing, and Pennsyl vania just smiles. The people of this country need expect to hear little more from the friends of protection about tariff revision, for It Is absolute folly to expect friends of protection to con cede anything in their position until they are forced to do it by the demo crats. That is the only source of relief. And now the president comes for ward and tells Mr. Cannon he will h the next president of the United States. Of course that Is one man's opinion based upon rather flimsy signs so far. If. however, Mr. Cannon should become president there will be no hope whatever for tariff revision during his administration If he can prevent it. He is a notorious standpatter. He Is for the tariff as it is now, and declares that revision Is not even to be thought of until it will benefit the majority of the peop'.e. Meantime the demand from the peo ple, the consumers of trust-protected products, Is growing steadily stronger In favor of tariff revision. They have seen that with all the bluster and blow by the administration about "go ing after" the trusts comparatively nothing has been done to abolish or even control them, and they are doing business at the old stand as usual. The fact Is the people are fast realizing that to abolish or control the trusts with the present tariff system in oper ation is just as absurd and impossible as to make a hog lean by feeding him freely. The tariff is to the trusts what large quantities of food are to the hog. A vigorous campaign by the demo crats with the tariff and the trusts as the issue and with the evils of the present tariff system properly put be fore the people so they can understand the Injustice of this legalized robbery would give the democratic party favor able prospects of electing the next president.

I was begged to go there, but I told every one, that asked me that I was too far gone to be saved ex cept by the grace of God. Fina.ly I was over-persuaded and yielded. I took the train for Greensboro and upon arriving there was mat at the station by one of the attendants of the Institute. He conducted we to the Institute and introduced ne to the Manager who mat me very tind ly and gave me a hearty welcome and shake of the hand. Everybody I met treated me with the greatest kindness, and I soon fell in lova with all at the Institute. The t'liri day after the treatment was 1 1 a:; tin all desire to take a drink hail lot me, and I felt no temptation white vor to touch the bottle on the tatle by mv bed. I can say with a clear con science that the best investment I ever made in my life was the money I paid the Keeley Institute at Greens, boro, N. C. The board and accom modations were '.he best, the officers and attendants were kind anl ac commodating. I never had better treatment at any place in my life. If anybody wants to give up the liquor habit, I do not cart? hew far gone he may be, he can do so by going to the Institute at Grooasboro where he will surely be cured; that is if he wants to quit.. But If he dot's not determine to quit, (and mat is tne reason why some go back), he had as well remain at home; for, if he had rather be drunk than go sober he can learn the habit just as easily after bsing cured as he learned it the first time, though it might take him a little longer time to do so.
