A FATAL MISTAKE.
Savoyard, in Columbia State. *
Nobody has explained it. The
President does not understand it; the
cabinet is amazed; the press is indignant;
the public for once in our
political history is a unit.. Mr.
Bryan himself does flot know why
he did it, and his manifestoes,
"treading upon one another's heels,so
;'ust they follow," do not suffice. If
he were not so great a man I would
call each and everything he has said
about It silly.
Here Is an opinion about it and it
is as good as any of 'em. In his
father's house when Bryan was born
the god of eloquence took lodgement
and was a guest. Among the invited'
to the subsequent christening were
a numerous bevy of good fairies?
one advanced and bestowed on the
Infant strong lungs, another gave a
dulcet tongue, another seductive
voice, ahother tuneful speech, another
a personal chastity such as
Joseph's, another a quick, a brilliant
and a versatile mind, another vigor
of gymnastics to forensic debate, another
animal magnetism to command
the populace and fire the vulgar
herd, another yet bestowed a superb
physical constitution and athletic
frame. - - But
then and there present was an
old witch, who had not been invited
, to the festival. She In malice and
with fatal power touched the infant
with the decree, "He shall not have
wisdom!" That's what's the matter
with Bryan, though not quite all that
Is the matter with Bryan.
* H" *
Mr. Bryan's lark of wisdom would
be fatal in any event, but that flaw
in his makeup could have been hidden.
if not cured, had ho not been
gifted or rather laden with an enormous
vanity. I believe he is an
honest man. 1 am not so sure that
lie is always sincere?this because of
his vanity. He is an idealist in
greater degree than Jefferson himself
was, but Jefferson's idealism was
ballasted by the profouiulest wisdom
that ever political publicist was gifted
with. Bryan's idealism is like
Joe Pickett's eagle?it soared so
loftily that it split itself wide open.
Now here is why Bryan left Wilson.
Prior to the adjournment of
the Baltimore convention Mr. Bryan
had been "every man himself" in the
Democratic party. What he said was
gospel and was accepted by the majority
and what he pronounced
heresy was execrated by the majority.
And so it was in 1904 when Mr.
Bryan and his followers could have
elected Alton B. Parker President
nau iney given mm lovai support, l
have no particular quarrel with him
about that, for I have grown old
enough to take human nature as a
factor in my calculations.
Let me get back to it. Wilson was
nominated, and It is possible that
such consummation was not in
Bryan's calculations at Baltimore.
That is a secret locked up in the
bosom of Willam J. Bryan and I
4 would not profane the thing by looking
the gift horse in the mouth. Wilson
was elected, and In my poor opinion
any other of the candidates before
that convention, had he been
nominated, would have been defeated.
And had Mr. Bryan himself been
then and there nominated his defeat
would have been disastrous beyond
measure.
The thing was instinctive. The
American people saw in Woodrow
"Wilson their Ideal. They accepted
him. thev made him their own. H?
is theirs today and they are not going
to part with him till his job is
done in this world, after which God
will take him to heaven. We servants
of the Lord, who have faith,
are blessed in the confidence that the
day of his "labors o'er" is yet long
distant.
? *
But to get back. Mr. Wilson is not
only the profoundest political think?r
of his time, he is also the most
consunynate practical politician of

GOV. HARRIS MAKES |
PLEA FOR ORDER
Asks People to Consider Frank
Case as Closed Incident.
TO END DEMONSTRATIONS.
Ixnupn u Statement in Which He 1
Tolls Why Ho Kept Troops on
Guard at Slaton Homo.
Atlanta, June 29.?With the departure
of ex-Governor Slaton for a
I trip to the Pacific coast last night
and the withdrawal of militia from
the Slaton home the troubles folio wi
ing the commutation of Let. Frank's
death sentence appear to have passed.
Governor Harris will decide what
Is tc be done with the 2 6 nen arrested
near the Slaton home Saturday.
.The four men arrested Monday were
released this morning.
Governor Nat E. Harris, on Moni
day afternoon, issued a stateme.u to
the public in which he explained his
j position in relation to the condition
j existing at the time he became goveri
nor which necessitated his holding
j the state troops at the residence of ;
ex-Governor Slaton.
I This condition, he explains, as now '
I being a tiling of the past, and asks,
' as iiis first request as governor, to I
the people of Georgia, that there he
j no repetition of the demonstrations.
GOVERNOR S STATKMEXT.
His statement is as follows:
"To the People of Georgia: I
have thought it not improper to
make a statement to the people concerning
the manifestation of resent-i
ment recently shown towards my predecessor
on account of the Frank ;
case.
"The action of tin* governor in that !
r:\se has become a matter of past his- j
tory; nevertheless, the conditions
which existed at the time of my en- j
trance into office made it necessary,
at the request of the sheriff of Fulton
county, reinforced by the opinion
of the adjutant general of the state,
to continue the state militia on guard
for the time being within the limits
over which martial law had been
proclaimed. One of my first official
tino on oaiumuj au?ruuon was an
inquiry into ?lie necessity for doing
this.
"On Sunday morning, the sheriff
of the county, Mr. Mangum. requested
me to keep the militia on guard
for another twenty-four hours and on
the showing made by him of his reasons
thereafater. I have great confidence
in his Judgment and I could j
not afford to take on myself to follow
any other course.'
"This is now as I have said before, '
a matter of the past, and I hope there '
will be no further necessity for any |
such intervention in the future.
"I am sorry that the state of affairs
arose which necessitated such action
on the part of the state while I was
in office. I think that protest, denunciation
and other similar measures
which express the people's feelings,
if followed out in a decent and
orderly way, cannot be controlled,
but at the same time I am fixed in mv
belief that no one, however, aggrieved
he may feel himself to be, has the
right to take the law into his own
hands or force the state to stand
guard against violent assaults upon
his generation. He had the sagacity
to see, what Cleveland could not see,
that if he would put Democratic policies
into the law he must unite
Democratic factions. Hence he took
Mr. Bryan into his cabinet. He was
absolutely sincere, and I make no
doubt that Bryan was equally sincere.
Certainly they worked together, and
if Democratic political economy is
worth a rap these two working together
will prove it.
Well, Wilson held the centre of
the stage, not because he wanted to
?he cared not a bit for it?but because
he had to as President. And
there you are.

Support Your Loral Paper. .1
Southern Textile Bulletin.
Very few people realize how hard j
the press of the South has been hit x
since the war began. s
A local paper receives its revenue ,
from "foreign" advertising, local ad- \
vertlsing and subscriptions. g
Foreign advertising is advertising
received from mail order houses. .
patent medicine firms, etc., from out- | |
side the immediate territory covered ,
by the publication and such adver- |
Using has to a large extent been can- (
celled because of the impression that .
there is little buying power in the
South at this time.
Local advertising has been seriously
curtailed because many of the
local merchants have been in tight
places because of their inability to
collect accounts due by farmers.
The papers must therefore, depend
at this time largely upon subscriptions
and we appeal to the mill people
of every town or village to aid
their local papers to weather this
storm by paying what they owe their
local paper on subscription or sending
them a new subscription.
A local paper is an asset to every
town and village and knowing the
serious financial condition of most
of them at present we make this
appeal in their behalf.
Every dollar counts with a local
paper now and the amount of the
I subscription of ths mill population
would tide over many of them.
