The finding of a railroad commls
gion should not be suspended by the
ex parte affidavit of a railroad officer.
The actual trial of a proposed rate
is the beat way to determine its ef
fect. If it should prove to be unjust
to the railroad company, there should
still be no occasion for tho court to
interfere. The railroad commission
should be relied Upon, after a fair
trial, to modify a rate, if the rate
proved to be improper.
When the courts realize the re
sponsibility which they assume by
interfering through restraining or
ders with the action of the Btate, tho
officers of railroad companies will
realize the respect due to the state,
and will present their views to the
railroad commission, and conferences
will bo followed by harmonious re
lations. Tho railroad commission should
be reasonable and just to tho rail
roads, but if the railroads persist in
an attitude of stubborn litigiousness,
they can "hardly expect a continua
tion of gifts from the state. If the
railroads are injured by resisting the
authority of thestate, if they suffer
In consequence, the fault will rest
upon their misguided officials and
must not be chargeable to the state
of Georgia.
liiquor legislation
For a long time the state of
Georgia has adhered to the policy of
local option applied to the sale of
liquor. All restrictive liquor laws
arouse intense feeling. As the en
forcement of the laws depends large
ly upon the sentiment in the coun
ties in which they are to be enforced,
we have permitted the voters of
each county to decide what should
be theu policy of their county.
"While- my sympathies in a local
election are with those who oppose
the sale of liquor, for the present,
local option may furnish the best
plan for controlling the liquor traffic.
But after the people of a county vote
liquor out, it is not fair to permit
the daily inpouring of liquors by jug
trains'.
Our platform demands that the
dry counties of Georgia be kept dry.
I cordially favor legislation to ac
complish this result, and. I believe it
possible to- restrain to a great extent
the use of liquors shipped from out
side the state.
I suggest also the propriety of
making the operation of a "blind
tiger" a felony.
The chief object of government
should be to prevent special privi
leges and to give to all equal rights
and opportunities. To this the men
and women of Georgia are entitled,
and yon are preparing legislation
which Insures it to them.

THAT SUITS IE FJtfE
"I like good nature," said the man
from "Wall Street; "but there are
times when it palls on me. Up to
last week I had a stenographer who
was so full of good nature, that she
had to continually chew gum in order
to digest it. Every time I asked her
to do anything she would reply: 'That
suits me fine.' Even when I asked
her to stay an hour late her answer
always was: 'That suits me fine.'
"That sounds good, doesn't it?
Well, to me it got mdnotdnous. If
she had varied the sentence a little
I wouldn't have cared, but her whole
vocabulary seemed to be limited to
'That suits me fine.'
"Last Saturday I decided to try to
get something new from her. I
called her to my desk and told her
she needn't come back any more.
'That suits me fine' she declared, and,
I almost tore out my hair. She re

THE FORGE OF HABIT
"Do I snore?" said the fat pom
mercial drummer. "I-should say so.
That's why I can't use an alarm
clock. I can't hear 'em. My snore
drowjis the best of 'em. And speak

once at a crowded hotel where I had
to double up with an acquaintance.
I told him I snored a few; but he
didn't mind, he said, because his wife
was a star in that line, and he had a
'system to beat it.
" 'I'll just tap you on the shoulder
every time you begin to snore,' he
explained. 'That'll stop you without
