THE INTELLIGENCER'* POSITION
In yesterday afternoon's Dally Mall
was au editorial which attempted to
dodge tile issue 01 muddy the wuter?
HO tbat the average reader would not
notice that the Daily Mall lind not
apoligizetl or made proper correction
if Itu two attucks on this newspaper,
and that is the reason for this editor
ial.
To be specific: The Dally Mall in
a recent editorial stated in part "but
the whole town believes thal corpo
ration (meaning the Southern Public
multics Co.) owns you body and
soul," to which The Intelligencer r?.
piled the following day as follows:
Now, neighbor, if we are to continue
to get along we must stick to facts.
The Intelligencer is absolutely inde
pendent, and so long as the present
editor remains in charge, we shall
take positions along what we con
ceive to be right and proper, and ac
cording to what we believe to be the
side that n ?eds championing, wheth
er it be for a cleai. city or to keep a
wrong being done any corporation,
whether its name be Southern Public ;
Utilities Company, vir what not. No i
man is at all Informed who "believes ;
that corporation owns you body and
noni." and no one knows this better
than our afternoon contemporary. i
This to our mind was a plain and '
unequivocal denial of the attack; and
BB the Dally Mail pursued the subject .
no further, we decided that probably
the statement was made in healed i
passion and regretted afterwards, so
we paid no further attention to it un- 1
til thc offense was repoated Satur
day. We then called on The Daily
Mail for a retraction or a correction,
and the following is the result.
A local newspaper came out on a
quiet Sabbath morning with this
inscription at its masthead: "Remem
ber the Sabbath day to keep it holy."
This sounds good and should have
put every one who saw it in a re
verent Btate of mind.
But that newspaper went further
and threatened dire calamities against
The Dally Mall on this peaceful Sab
bath quiet morn, that if lt does not
apologise, lt will . do something aw
ful to this peace-loving newspaper.
We do not know exactly what it ls
going-to dj, bul lt ls.evidently some
thing awful. Our airship, which that
newspaper said wo saddled on the
eommunity. is not in good running
order, or we might again flee from
this city as we did some months ago,
when threatened with a ilk? dire cal
amity by that same newspaper..
Now, getting down seriously, neigh- 1
bor? we would advise you to keep
your head on your shoulders and at |
least one foot on the ground, and rot ]
get too excited. The cause of this ?
war is that we accused you of being
the organ ot the Southern Public
Utilities company. Well, that is some
thing very serious, and frora the .tone
ot your .article, we have either got to ;
npollgUe. fight or run.
.Now, in all friendliness, you are '
taking yourself **>o seriously. W? do I
not question the independence of the
present edite,- of the morning news- (
paper, but ve will say that unless his
friendliness toward the Southern <
Public Utilities company had been I
known In advance, he would not
bold toe position he now occupies.(
Now, neighbor, if you do not believe
this, Just start something in your
newspaper that this company doesn't
spprMve nf, and see where your Job i
will land. . i
This matter began 'before you ar- ,
rived In Anderson, and you may not (
be fully informed on the matter. The (
newspaper of which you are now ed- ,
Itor has backed op the Southern ?
Public Utilities company in every- .
laing that company has contended
for; the sixty-year franchise, the ,
Forty-year franchise and on down.
Several of your stockholders and di- 1
rectors are closely Identified with '
tho Southern Public Utilities Com- 1
?any. our newspaper has consistent- \
ly supported ovorything they have
asked for; that ia. your privilege, and 1
wo have no criticism. Oh the other 1
band, the Southern Public Utilities '
company bas reciprocated In con- <
?tently taking a good stied advertis
ing apace with your dally, which they i
bave not done la ? any other city in i
which they have a franchise. This ]
looks to. us very much like a return ;
jf thd Baternhl feeling which you \
bare constantly manifested toward <
thia company. i
Yet you disclaim that you are an j
organ of this company. Wfell, we ,
bave no cause to go behind any gen- j
lleman's word, but we wish you would <
leflne your position in the mstter, so
wc would know how to construe lt. Is
lt "defender," "protector," or what .
ls lt. We will take your statement in
the matter, but have some curiosity !
to know whiit it really ia
There Is tio need to attempt to mud- !
ly the wr.teis by trying to make it j
ippear that the editor of this paper
is taking himself tco seriously or any <
inch rot aa that This attack has all I
un apytrarsiii-t- vi being pr?-?ScCU?v?-?. '
md rasde with malice aforethought )
A newspaper which ts at all worthy <
it the name stands for something In t
he community which lt serves, and t
vhetber the editor of s paper is one I
p?rson or another enters '"to
the controversy. The question which
concerns ethla, and all other papers, 4
For that matter ls-that the newspa
per be true to the Interests of the com
munity which lt serves. Judging from
the Daily Mall's two unwarranted f
Handsrous attacks upon The Intellt- I
fencer, after twice being, corrected, lt 1
ippears that the Dally Mall's motive <
a to Injure the reputation of The '
intelligencer in this community, hence <
mr demand that proper correction he t
nade. - Tba Dally Mall owes The In- 1
?Uigenau- (and not W. W. Smoak) t

IF ROOSEVELT WERE PRESIDENT
Opponents and critica of the pres
ent administration at Washington
ha,ve become bold enough in the past
few weeks, to treat with unbounded
levity the idea that haB pretty gen
erally disseminated throughout the
country, that the American people, In
the circumstances now enveloping
the civilized world, may well "thank
God for Wilton." But that there is
genuine ground for feeling Just that
way about our present government is
plainly shown by some recent utter
ances of the ex-president from whose
rule we are most fornuately free.
In the course of a recent article
ane o? a number that he is contribut
ing to a newspaper syndicate con
rernlng the war and its lessons for
Americans-Co). Roosevelt, after re
ferring to the Mague treaties, to
which the United State- became a
party during his administration of
the government, said:
The climax of absurdity is for any
administration to do what the present
administration during the past three
months has done. Mr. Wilson's ad
ministration has shirked the duty
plainly imposed on lt by the obliga
tions of the conventions already en
tered into. . . * If the Hague con
ventions mean anything, and if bad
raith in the observation or treaties is
not to be treated with cynical indif
ference, then the United States gov
ernment should inform itself as to
the factB. and should at least put It
self on record In reference thereto.
The extent to which the action should
po may properly be subject for dis
cussion. But that there should be
some action ls beyond discussion."
Col. Roosevelt's complaint ls that
Belgium has been the victim of the
clearest possible "breach of interna
tional morality," distinctly forbidden
by The Hague conventions. For this
reason he declares that the present
administration has "shocked the duty
plainly imposed on lt" by those con
ventions. In other words, If Mr.
Roosevelt wore President, he would
already have butted into the Euro
pean squabble in such a way as, no
3'oubt, to have gotten the United
States into trouble. What he would
have done In Mexico no one doubts,
though it ls extremely unlikely that
under his treatment our Mexican pol
icy would have been in even as good
shapo at ia it not. And we shudder
to think what would at this moment
be dur atutua, if Mr. Roosevelt were
In power, and the incident of the fir
ing on the Tennessee by Turk? on
Tuesday had taken place. He would
ao doubt already have warships on
the way to those waters for tho pur
pose of making war, though that
would not In any way make repara
tion for any damage or insult out of
tho Incidents ot tho Tenneaaee.
Tho United Statea may well thank
13od for Wilson but it should go into
>cstasles of gratitude for the fact that
lt is rid of Roosevelt.
"THE DRINK Oft THE JOH."
Colonel George W. Goethals, canal
milner, one of the biggest, moat etfec
:Ivo and benevolent bosses In the
world, has decided that a large quota
>f his' employee smust join tho "drink
jr Job brigade." The other cay he
ilgned an order to the effect that all
imployeea remotely connected with
he ' water transportation department
nust go on a strict temperance baals.
Hie machinery of the canal is too ex
pensive to be entrusted to drinking

i BI the Canal ls too- pre "'ou s to be

'therefore, John Barleycorn walks

di tut ion frequently has shown, the

standpoint

3ENERAL MAN ACIER FOR ANDER
SON.
Under the head "General Managers
or Cities," the Atlanta Journal haa
he following to say about tbs old
nethod of governing a city by a
?Onncllmanlc for of government
rho Intelligencer has advocated a
commission form of government for
his city, and w* treat we shall seo
?ne such form, or going a step far
ber, a general manager.
The Journal saya:
The general protest In this country
gainst the Inefficiency and waste ot
he etd concllmanic form ot city
overnraebi wilt not down. It rests
apon too true and too Hubutanttal a
JBB?H over to perish altogether. It has
ts periods of recession, it Is true,
jut these only result in its gathering
sreater momentum for still more
pronounced advance.
This protest has taken various
'oims. Hy thu close.of the year 19U
t had resulted in the establishment
)f the commission form of govern
ment In 293 towns and cities in the
'nited States. In hundreds of others
t was marked by some change In
he old worn-out system, making it
nore responsive to modern business
nethod8 and requirements.
In the city of Los Angeles it has
aken the form of a proposed amend
nent to the city charter which will
>rovlde for a city manager and a
>oard of eleven directors while at
he same time retaining the mayor
ind thc city council. Should the
unendment be adopted, which will
ie voted on at an election to be held
>n December 28, Los AngeleH will
roubtless be the first large city In tho
Tnlled States whose ufTuirs will be
idminlstei ed ty directors and a gen
eral manager. This, however, is mere
y the i-jseuce of commission gov
ernment under another name but
mme which gives a very striking
dea of what is designed to be accom
ilished by the revolt against the in
fToctivcness of tho old system.
A I . lard of directors and a general
nanager conduct practically every
rig- successful American enterprise
oday. In fact it is the machinery of
he business success for which Amer
en is world-tamed. A city is a busi
iess enterprise. Its legislative and
governmental functions are of minor
:onsequencc compared to its chief
ind. namely, the expenditure of large
innis of money in the interest of tho
nhabitants. who furnish the money in
he forms or tastes so that the funds
io imbursod may 'yield' the people the
;reatest returns in health, comfort,
tafety and pleasure.
The old form, modeled on state and
?ati-.mal governments, is suited to an
irganlzatlon whose chief end bi leg
slation and in which business con
ilderatlons are only incidental. Hence
ls final and utter breakdown when
ipplied to a municipality which is es
icntially a business corporation.
Advancing progress will in time
lend it to the discard everywhere.
