THE GEORGIAN COMES TO GEORGIA AS THE SUNSHINE vie •Tla wisdom to beware ' # And better shun the bait than struggle In the snare. —DRYDEN. Protection for the Children. The whole state rejoices In the fact that the Bell child labor bill has been passed by the house and It Is now certain that It will become a law. This bill, which Is one of the most vital with which the general assembly has had to deal at the present ses sion, hns been eo framed by Ita author as to be Identical with a measure Introduced In the senate jointly by 23 members. It was therefore a foregone conclusion that It the house could be Induced to pass It without amend ment it would be accepted by the senate and would soon becomo a law. The author of the bill and his lieu tenants, by good generalship, succeeded In steering It through the bonso without alteration, and It haa now gone to the upper house where It will be protaptly adopted. A sigh of relief goes up all over the state at the realization that thle long, hard light Is over at last Tho straggle In behalf of tho children of Georgia has been ono of the most persistent In the history of legislation. All the forces that could bo brought to bear agnlnat tho enactment of such a measure have been arrayod against It year by year and at times It seemed thqt protection for the children of tender years would be Impossible. But the determined man who have had charge of theso various measures have never loit heart and hope, and now. In the adoption of tho Bell child labor bill, that hope has been vindicated. > Under the provisions of this measure no child under ten years of sge can work In a mill or manuafeturing plant under any circumstances. No child under twelve years of age can work thore except to contribute to the support of a Widowed mother or disabled father, the or dinary of the county certifying to the facta In tho case each year. It provides that no child under 14 years o( ago can be employed or allowed to labor In a factory or manufacturing establishment at night, or shall be per mitted to work there at all unless he or she oan read tnd write hts or her name and simple eentences. The child must attend school .three months each year until he or ■he has passed public school age, six weeks of which time shall have been consecutive. No child shall be employed by such manufacturing concern without an affidavit setting forth the facts In the case signed by the parent, guardian or somo one who stands In loco parentis. Such parent, guardian or next friend who shall mako any false statement In this connection, or any pereon hiring a child in violation of these provlelone shall be guilty of a misdemeanor and tho affidavits lotting forth the required facts shall be open to Inspection by the grand Jury. Some of the amendment! offered on yeeterday were regarded as being acceptable In themselves, but it was tho desire of the friends of the bill to do nothing which would Imperil Its passage by the senate, which waa al ready committed to such a measure as was then under consideration. It was the part of wisdom to adopt it as It stood and secure the passage of a certain measure .of relief for the poor children of Georgia. The present bill. It will be eeen, goes a long way toward affording the desired relief. A foundation haa been laid on which subsequent reform* may be based. ' Georgia has already been shamefully slow In passing some measure for the relief of the children of the state. Millions of money are poured lpto Georgia every year for the education of negro children. In addition to the sum raised by taxation and distributed, impartially among whit* and black. The consequence Is that thou sands of negroes are receiving the benefits not only of common school, but of higher education, while the chil dren of white parents are forced to till the Helds which h&vo been depopulated of negro labor or else drift Into the cotton mUl cities to earn the living which Impover ished families cannot make on the farm. They are grow ing op in Ignorance at the same time that they are stunt ing their bodies by long hours of work while yet In their tender years. There has been but little question, except on the part of those whose opinions are governed by self interest, that a stringent law should be enacted, but it has not been an easy matter to overcome all the force* of oppo sition. Yesterday's vote decided the matter, and from now- on It Is hoped that the tendency will be steadily npward and that in the end we will have a measure which throws around the growing child, in the formative period of mind and body, the strong arm of adequate protection and'the Incentives of a higher life. American maizes them at times amusing—Mr. Bryan looked upon as a "pretender" to the presidency and Is trying to defraud Longworth of his rightful heritage. Nicholas himself has given no encouragement to the Idea that he was "the heir apparent" to the presidency, and ho oven Indulged the hope that when Mr. Bryan camo to England public attention would be diverted from himself, at least so far as sny presidential possibilities were concerned. Instead of. tbla, however, the British public Insisted upon regarding Mr. Bryan ns an Inter loper, or “pretender," and not a few hints of this char acter, intended as sympathy for hts cause, were ex pressed to Mr. Longworth. All of this Is very amusing, but It is entirely In keep ing with the Ignorance of that British public which thinks It Is still possible to hunt buffalo In Central Park, and that a run over to Ban Francisco Is a Journey of few hours. In the. meantime Mrs. Longworth and her husband Cockney Views of Longworth. While the people of this country are speculating as to who will be the next president of the United States, the people of England—including "the three taltora of Tooley street"—have settled the matter to their own satisfac tion, and take It ae a foregone Conclusion that It will be Hon. Nicholas Longworth. The London cockney cannot get it out of hie head that the presidency of the United States Is an hereditary D office. Just like that of ktng. He looks upon Longworth as a man who will come Into the office of chief executive of the United 8tatee by reason of his marriage to the president's daughter, very much after the fashion that some nobleman would come into a dukedom from the distaff side. People who really ought to know a great deal better Insist on calling him a senator. They cannot get Into tbelr beads that there Is any such thing in this country as a "representative," although their own bouse of com- mona corresponds to it exec Gy. - A number of the leading papers in the kingdom have been constantly referring to him as a "senator." To cap the climax, some of the special correspond ents Inform us that among the unlettered multitude—or at least those whose insular Ignorance of everything The Lady Hooligans. The suffragettes of England—otherwise known as the lady hooligans, and by the Irreverent at "fooligans" re not only coming to grief In Individual Instances, but they are undoubtedly bringing shame and reproach upon the cause of woman's suffrage. The scene when a body of theso women, whose thews and sinews are strong, assembled around the house of Mr. Asquith and made both night and day hideous Is still remembered vary feelingly. It wns but one of msny Instances of outrage. Sitting In the visit ors' gallery of the house of commons they hare more than ones made demonstrations which wore distinctly unseemly, and they have eucceodcd ,in awakening the resentment of the people at large, regardless of tho principles for which they contend. They hare broken up a great many meetings, but on Sunday at Manchester they were treated to a dose of their own medicine. One of the most aggressive of the suffragettes was to make a speech, and was backed up by a member of parliament who had won an unsavory notoriety by championing the cause of tho Zulus as against the South African colonist*. For a while the crowd which assembled ns lookers on were content with good natured chaffing of the meet ing, but the pleasantry grew Into ridicule and Anally Into open hoitlllty as the bitterness of the speakers In- crossed, and Anally the suffragettes had to run for their Uvea. That (a to say, the surrounding crowd was about to crush them to death by mere force of numbers. The bellicose member of parliament had a hard time In rescuing the lady hooligans. One of the latter, how ever, llvod up to her reputation and to that of her as sociates by knocking one man down with her bare Ast and another with her deadly umbrella. On the whole it was a disgraceful sort of proceed ing and served to bring etui further Into disrepute the cause for which the suffragettes were contending. The conservatism and common sense of England has arrived at tho conclusion that if the mere advocacy of • wo man's suffrage Is to be marked by such unfemlnlne scenes as these the cause Itself had better be postponed Indefinitely. The Weekly Editors.' Today the members of tho Weekly Press Associa tion of tho state of Georgia aro assembled at Hartwell In tlielr annual state convention. From Nlckajack to Ty- bee Light, from tho farthest corner of Dado to the marshes of the OkeAnokee, these worthy members of the Fourth Estato are gathered for their annual outing which has become a part of their lives. The Georgian trusts that the enjoyment they appa rently experienced while they were assembling In this city will be continued during the session, compounded of pleasure and proAt, which Is now going forward In our sister city. It Is Impossible to speak In extravagant terms of tho wisdom, the optimism and the general usefulness of the members of this organisation. It was Edmund Burke who, standing In the house of commons, said: "Around me sit the three estates of the realm: the lords spiritual the lords temporal and the commons; but In that gal lery," pointing toward the corner set aside for the press, 'there sits a fourth estate, more powerful and more Importaht than all these.” Thb verdict of the world has conArmed this estimate of the InAuenco of the press. No wonder that Napoleon should have said that he "feared four newspapers more than the bayonets of a battalion.” No wonder that Thomas Jefferson should have said that If he had to chooee between -a government without newspapers and newspapers without a government, he would not hesitate to select the latter. In this day and time when the collection and distribution of the news of the world has arrived at lte existing high state of perfection, the news paper as an Institution Is more powerful than ever before in Its history. Tho men who crystallise In editorial ut terances the sentiment of the people, are disposed to be more thoughtful niul to realise the gravity of tbelr call ing more keenly perhaps than ever before. « But whatever measure of Influence and vitality may attach to the editorial function In general terms. It be longs lit a peculiar degree to the editor of the country weekly. He lives close to the people. He knows how the great heart of the masses pulses with life and aspi ration. He Is akin to the sun and the soil which bring forth fruits of every character in abundance. As life Is made up of an inflnltude of small events wblcb shape the destiny of man and the courae of nations, ho .knows these minutiae by actual and continuous contact Tbe householder, the unit of cttlsenehlp, Is his friend end neighbor, and all the events and episodes which occur within thnt magic circle to contribute to the weal or wo* of the Individual, are known to him and exercise a deep and determining Influence In shaping hie opinions and Inspiring his utterances. The former and the latter rains, the drought the weevil, the rust—all the cycle of phenomena which make or mar the yield of the harvest Aeld. are the objects of his dally concern; and In his community he Is a man of relatively greater Importance than the editor of the most ambitious of metropolitan newspapers. Hla opinions are more In accord with the sentiments and convictions of his constituents because he Is In more Intimate touch with them, and. In reality, merely redecta a consensus which Is all about him. He it chastened with trials. It Is not given to blm In many Instances to acquire wealth by conducting a weekly newspaper. Tbe standing Jest that hla subscrip tions are paid in romanlte apple* and yellow yame la not entirely a fanciful creature of the brain. But, through It all hope shlnea like a guiding star and a aunny opti mism aureoles everything about him. He haa wel comed the little stranger and dropped a sympathetic tear on paaatng age which has lived out the Psalralit’s span. He haa sounded In his adaptable columns a mar riage hymn more musical than Tanbauser or “the voice that breathed o'er Eden." He has thrown the mantle of cliarity over the weaknesses and errors of mankind. And all these have contributed to the sum of human sympa- ells within bis heart with perennial fresh- thy wl ness. Little wonder that he knows human nature, that he knows the wants and the wishes of his fellow men and la the beat interpreter of tbelr social and political aspirations and convictions. Ho Is more than entitled to the annual outing which comes to him at this happy noontide of the year when he roregathers with his brothers and sisters of the Faber guild and gives himself up to a season of unalloyed de light. The Georgian extends Its heartiest greetings to the Weekly Press Association and trusts that theirs may be a full measure of happiness and sweet content. DEFAULTING ON SAN FRANCISCO FIRE LOSSES A New York merchant wrltes'te The Press, calling attsntlon to the help lessness of Ban Francisco so long as Insurance payments are withheld, and pointing out the concern other cities should feel In this matter, for, he says, "we cannot tell when our time may come, and one dark day we may be ap pealing to other cities to help us en- orce justice from the Insurance com panies to whom we have for years past seen paying premiums sufficiently re munerative for the acquisition of huge surpluses, presumably set aside for Just suoh emergencies as the present.” As "Merchant" says, the people of San Francisco are tied hand and foot from beginning the rebuilding of their city and the re-establlshment of their production and trade until the insur ance funds which are due them are paid by the companies. “The coun ;ry," ho says, “responded magnificent ly to San Francisco's cry for help, but the work will be complete only when effective pressure Is brought to bear on the Insurance companies which are trying to welch. When San Francisco needed food and raiment the country poured them forth with open hands. *Jow sho needs money, and wants only her own." * * • The suggestion which the New York business man makes is that the com mercial Interests of the country should show the companies that they cannot welch without being boycotted every where In the United States. "Now Is tha time, therefore, for prompt and vigorous action to be taken py New York, Boston, Chicago and other great communities with the view of compelling these defaulting compa nies to disgorge the assets which the merchants of the country have built up for them, and so give San Francisco a chance to go ahead." • • • That no Injuatlce should be done to the conscientious companies, this work of Investigation and reporting should be performed by some responsible body of the nature of a chaprber of com merce. The newspapers, of course, will give wide currency to any official report allowing Injuatlce and virtual fraud. And the result would undoubt edly be to put out of business such companies as hnd practiced the unfair and cruel method*, while Increasing the patronage of thoae which had given "square deal."—New York Press, 0000000000000000000 o POLITICS AND POLITICIANS. 0 0 OO0O00OOOOO0000000a POLITICS AND POLITICIANS Colonel W.

Editor of The Georgian: I noticed an tutorial In your paper about Sarah Bernhardt being born In Rochester, Iowa. I have some Infor mation which will possibly be of some Interest to you. I am a theatrical man, at present touring Georgia with th* Heyer Comedy Company. In the sum mer of 1902 I was with a small com pany that spent a week In the little town of Rochester, Iowa. We boarded with a family by the name of Flnafleld. Mr. FlneAeld, the head of- thp house, tells the following story concerning Sarah Bernhardt. Bernhardt's mother and Mr. FlneAeld'a mother were sla ters. Sarah's mother died whqirSarah was an Infant, and consequently Sarah came to live with the Flneflelds. When ■he was about 12 years old a little show came to Rccheftcr and Sarah ran away with It. I don’t think It was an "Uncle Tom" show, as at that time the people were not so burdened with auch nuis ances. Sarnh had always been a "queer child,” as they described It, and had always "play-acted” since she could talk. They never heard from her until about three years later, when her cousin, Mr. FlneAeld, was In San Fran cisco, and recognised her on the stage at one of the theater*. He went up and spoke to her and the refused to recognize him, until he reminded her of a little toy cradle that he had made for her, which she had always prised very highly. Then she broke down and wept, and begged him not to tell where ■he was. She went to Parts and was never heard of again until she became famous. • One day two handsomely dressed la- _.as drove up to ths Flnefletd home ■nd asked them to direct them to the cemetery. He went with them over to the graveyard, which was only a short distance away. He was astonished to hear one of the ladles, who was heav ily veiled, ask him for the grave of bis aunt. He asked ths lady why shs wanted to see that particular grave, and ahe told him It waa th* grave of her mother. She laid aome flowers on the grave and took one of the-small atones, which lay on the grave, and a little twig from a rose bush near by. Both ladles spoke In French and evi dently could not speak or understand English. Upon inquiries being made, he found that Sarah Bernhardt was playing In a near-by city. Of courw they naturally surmised that the hand somely gowned French lady was no other than the little Sarah who uaed to run barefoot on the sandbars of tha Cedar river, rock her doll* In hand made wooden cradles, and who had run away with a show, gone todfrance, and forgot her native language How ever. all her people are French, aa Rochester t* a French settlement I have a photo of th* town In my pos session, which I had taken aa a souve nir of th* birthplace of the Divine Sarah.

The Founder of Georgia. Tho state of Georgia was never more prosperous. Will not her legislators make on appropriation this session for a monu ment to our noble founder, and thus re* deem the pn»t neglect, a neglect for which the face of every Georgian should blush? Listen to the words I heard January 10, 1860, In Augusta, Ga., from the lips of Geor< gin's devoted son, the lats Charles Wallses Howard, os he spoke before the Young Men's Christian Association.* "The life of Oglethorpe was, In many rc spects, a remarkable one. He lived for nearly a century, and died a childless old man. He has left no remnant of himself In Georgia. The house In which he lived, on 8t Simons Island, was destroyed by Are. The oaks which shaded It have been ruth lessly cut down. "The fine mansion of Grantham Hnll, In England, where the great and good and the learned assembled around his hosplta ble board, waa also consumed by the (lames, and with It every ‘ "* "* “ It la a and and sol . cloao of hi* life present*.

While the names of his distinguished associates still live In a numerous posterity, his name has passed away from among the names of the living.

"Such Is ths posthumous reward of heroic, unostentatious philanthropy. An epitaph In a parish church on one side of tbe At lantic, and on ths other a portrait In a collection of portraits.

The patriotic societies of our stats havs lain the foundation of a monument to Ogle thorpe.

New York, July 17.—Andrew Carne gie still harps on the coming unity ,f the English speaking race and its dominating Influence In the affairs of the world. In London the giver of ||. brarles and apostle of peace declares* "During the lifetime of many now living 300,000,000 English speaking p*o. pie. members of one race, are to dwell the other aide of the Atlantic, rh. tain with, say 00.000,000, will turn to and probably merge with them, and they with each other upon International questions, and then our race will y u ;_ till Its destiny, which la derisively • Influence world affairs for the good of the world." When It comes to traveling, th. PIttaburg millionaire haa little on a great race horse. The luxury in which Rockaand, the derby winner and thor oughbred of high degree, traveled, might be equalled, but could-not be excelled for money, Rocksand was recently purchased from the estate of Sir James Miller for 9125,009 by August Belmont. The aristocratic stallion almost had to b* dragged on to American soil. For an hour the hostlers labored with Rocksand to get him to walk down the steamship gang plank, but the delicate animal would not so much as put his foot on the narrow way. Mr. Belmont helped to urge his new pur chase to leave the steamship, but with- out success until John O'Keefe, a roundsman In the traffic squad, solved the problem. He watched the atle.-i;: to get the racer off the vessel from the dock. He led his own horse up the steep Incline and then led him down again. Rocksand followed the horse to the entrance of the plank, and then, after a moment's Indecision, started down. Once started, he waa led and half dragged to the dock below. Why should surprise be felt that Kalaer Wilhelm has determined to boss his little grandson, Wilhelm the Llt- tlest? If there Is anything In th* German empire, big or little, he doesn't boss ho would be grateful to anybody who will point It out. The kaiser's subjects are more frank with themselves in the matter of what they eat than we are. A dispatch from Hamburg says: "Beef and mutton Is so scarce that the Increased demand for horse flesh and dog flesh has forced up the prices of these. "The former has risen 10 pfgs. a pound and now sells for about 40 pfgs. (10 cents) a pound and more. Dog flesh brings about the same price, but dog sausage, which Is more savory than horse. Is 60 pfgs. (15 cents) a- pound.” We do not quote horse and dog meat In the market reports, but than Is * general Impression that, like the skip per's suit of clothes, they ore there.
