Croker Butts In.
That eminent expatriate and ex
patriot, the Hon. Richard Croker,’haa
felt called upon to dlscuee the defeat
of Mr. Hearst In the recent New York
•lection.
"God Almighty caused It," he says.
“His defeat la a Judgment of heav

The Squire of Wantage la butting
Into things that don't concern him.
Since he went into exile, America, the
city of New York and even Tammany
Hall have managed to worry along
somehow, and It may be said that all
are a little bit better off for bla ab
sence.
The Squire of Wantage had better
keep quiet
Rut when, In the name of all that Is
holy, did Dick Croker become the
mouthpiece of High Hearen?
What Faces Gongreu
Those very sapient newspaper men
who chronicle the doings, undoings
and not-doinga of onr. statesmen at
Washington are unanimous In predict'
Ing that the closing session of the
Fifty-ninth congress, which assembles
. In just two weeks, will be as bum-
i mlngly busy as a hive of bees.
This session, which begins Decem
ber 3, and expires by law on the 4th
of next March, will have all of the
"hurried legislation" of the usual
abort term and further will be mark
ed by tbe efforts of the Republican
party to put through a bunch of meas
ures which tbe administration holds
very dear. The Sixtieth congress will
not be quite so strongly Republican In
force of numbers, and the party la go
ing to yank time by the forelock while
the majority Is so effectively great.
Many measures of Import aro to be
debated and acted on. There la much
“left over" business to be disposed of,
and there Is no reckoning as to how
many Interesting things the president
will develop In his message.
Of the Issues that were not settled
at the last session, and which are
certain to come up, the moat Impor
tant to the country at large is tbe
question of further restriction of Im
migration. When congress adjourned
last June this matter was left In the
hands of a conference. The Dilling
ham bill had been passed by the sen
ate. The house, however, passed an
Immigration bill, which differed wide
ly from that of tbe senate. Then the
matter went to conference, the report
being deferred till the coming session
because of the general belief that the
question ' was too Important to be
rushed through In the hurly-burly of
these closing days.
This Immigration question Is one
that baa aroused federated labor in
America. The union leaders demand
more rigorous restriction cf the In
flux of foreigners. As the means to
the end. they favor an increase In
tbe bead tax and the Imposition of an
educational qualification In order fur
ther to restrict immigration. On the
other hand those members of con
gress, who feel tbe Increasing serious
ness of the question of Securing labor
that is confronting nil classes lu
America from farmer to capitalist, are
Inclined to oppose any further restric
tion. A compromise will doubtless
result.
There are two significant facia to
be considered, however.
First, the elections are over and the
politics tangent to tbe question can
be ignored.
And then, Oscar S. Straus, who Is
lo enter the president's cabinet as
secretary of commerce and labor, baa
expressed himself as regarding an ed
ucational qualification as ill-advised.
nobody else has anything to say
would like to make a few points about
the tariff."
That Is the way with congress, and
a word or two on the tariff will doubt
less be spoken.
One of the measnrea that may be
put through Is the ship subsidy bill
which got past the senate last spring
aud Is now before the house commit
tee on merchant marine and fisheries.
Representative Grosvenor, who
cently failed of renomination and who
la therefore serving his last session In
congress for a time, says he la going
to exert every effort to get thla legis
lation enacted. Not unnaturally, tbe
Democrats are opposed to this meas
ure, which Is looked upon as another
Republican steal In the ahape it pro
tection for an Infant Industry which
is really not quite as weak or Infantile
as those drawing dividends from it
would have the people believe. Speak
er Cannon Is believed to be little In
sympathy with the proposed legisla
tion, ir not actually hostile to It.
'Two minor measures which, how
ever, are of general Interest, are Sen
ator IgiFolletto's bill limiting tbe
working hours of railway employees
and Senator • Foraker’s bill to make
Porto Ricans citizens of tbe United
States.
Another which will affect the entire
country, If It ever becomes effective,
is the election reform measure. As a
matter of fact, thla la In the ahape
of two bills, one providing for public
ity In campaign affairs, the other pro
hibiting corporation contributions for
campaign purposes. Neither bill got
anywhere last session, owing to the
fact that the Republicans feared the
effect they might have In the elections^ t,
of this fall. It Is hardly expected that
either will pass this session. It strikes
too heavy a blow at the party In pow-
1,1 ko Tennyson’s Rrook, the Reed
Smoot caae runs on forever, and may
be expected to consume a good deal
of the time of the statesmen this win
ter.
Taken altogether, the measures Im
pending seem to promise an unuaually
busy session. ,

"Salome” on the Stage.
Tbe other night there was produced
In New York "Salome,” a little read
and leas acted ptay by that brilliant
effete of literature. Oscar Wilde. A
Mlsa Mercedes Leigh had the temerity
to ptay Salome, and the Progressive
Stage Society stood sponsor for the
production, which has been proscribed
by the British censor, but which Is
quite popular on the continent, where
Ita offensiveness lo religion and mor

As to the merlta or demerit* of the

aside from paying It Inevitable praise
for Its marvelous Oriental Imagery.
Hut, according to The New York
Bun's report of the Drat night of the
play, there came from the audience
the moat Incisive and most sane criti
cism possible.
The scone was that where the To-
trarch, Herod, was trying to Induce
Salome to dance before him. She de
clined. Ho offered her wine. She re
plied she was not thirsty. He offered
her fruit. She said she was not hun
gry. Then canto the small clear voice
from iho pit, "Try her on a cigarette."
And the laughter almost broke up the
show.
Tlio owner of that voice deserves
lo be apotbeoslied by the Association
of Dramatic Critics. For ridicule la

as "Salome.”
The hlgh-brows lake It a little too
seriously, and those puritanical ones

attract attention to It.

ed the hope that the time would come
when the United States would train

as much to send an unlettered, un

Saturday Might Club.
Among' the Institutions of Atlanta
that are quietly working on, none Is
more Interesting or deserving of cor
dial sympathy and support than the
Saturday Night Club.
It Is a literary and debating club,
which has been stesdlly. performing
Its function for 'fifteen years. There
Is nothing of the sophomorlc or tbe
pose about It. The members have
been meeting and discussing themes
In thoughtful, earnest and Intelligent
manner, seeking common Improve
ment. In It have been trained some
of Atlanta's brainiest and most force
ful speakers.
Right now the club needs more
members. Those who are at the head
of It believe that the addition of new
blood will have the effect of Increas
ing Its work for good, and they Invite
serious young men of Atlanta to join
them.
The club meets at the Carnegie

FROM A LIFE-LONG
ANTI-8ALOONI8T,
A School for Diplomacy.
Yale aud Columbia Universities
have decided to combine tbelr re
sources of curriculum aud form the
flrit school for diplomats. The ex
periment will be begun In the fall.#
According to those who have" com
piled the curriculum of the course, the
system Is designed to prepare stu
dents for work In foreign countries,
either In the service of the United
States government. In business enter
prises or as missionaries or scientific
investigators. The completion of the
courses offered, which will normally
occupy three years In the case of can
didates for the consular service and
two years for those getting ready to
go into special fields, will entitle the
students to n certificate signed by
the presidents of Yale and Columbia.
It Is not to be assumed that Pres
idents Hadley und Butler think they
will thereby turn out perfect and high
ly polished diplomats. They are
merely seeking lo provide for tboee
contemplating a consular career a
course of academic training, some
thing that has hitherto been wholly
lacking in the universities of the
country.
The experiment is the result of tbe
efforts of Yale alumni, who believe
that the diplomats sent to foreign
countries by the United States are

Thrown from his horse Sunday aft
ernoon, Associate Justice Beverly D.
Evans, of the supreme court, sustained
broken bone of the left wrist and
severe bruises about the body.
Sunday' afternoon Justice Evans
started for a horseback ride. As he
rode from his stable yard Into Third

and he was thrown to the pavement
with great force.

he was removed to his home, at 110
West Peachtree, where Dr. Hull set the
broken arm. Though still suffering
from shock and the pain of the broken
wrist Justice Evans went to his office
at the capitol Monday morning to re
sume the work of conferring with his
associates jn deciding cases.
FIFTH DISTRICT
FARMERS’ UNION
HAS ORGANIZED
VANDERBILT 8UIT8
SETTLED OUT OF COURT
Hpeclal to The Georgian.
Asheville, N. C., Nov. 19.—The last
uf the canes against George W. Van
derbilt, on the docket of the United
States circuit court, was disposed of
Saturday. The case was compromised
out of court.
The plaintiff, R. S. Clark, entered
suit against Mr. Vanderbilt for dam
ages In' the sum of 815,000, alleging
that In 1898, he had been crippled by
a vicious horse, the property of the de
fendant.
This case, and three other damage
suits brought by the heirs of two men
who were drowned In the French
Broad river while crossing In a flatboat
belonging to Mr. Vanderbilt, and al
leged to have been unsafe, and that
of a -man whose arm was tom off by
a corn shurker on the Ulltmore estate,
were some time ngo removed to the
United States court, and created much
comment nt the time. The three were
I compromised.
The amount of damages agreed on
In the nark ease has not been made
public, but It Is understood that the
other three caHee were all settled for
a sum much less than the 875,000 de
manded.
At a second meeting of the trustees
to be held on December S the location
of the Fifth district agricultural school
will be decided upon.
An Inltlnl meeting of the trustees
was held Saturday morning In Gov
ernor Terrell's private office with all
the trustees except the Douglas county
member present.' Organisation was
perfected by the election of Senator
durphey Candler, of Decatur, as chair
man and G. K. Hunnlcutt hi secretary.
Sealed bids were on band from New
ton nnd Rockdale, but as Walton and
possibly other counties had given no
tice that bids would be submitted later.
It was determined to postpone action to
December 6 In order to give all the
counties an opportunity. None of the
bids on hand, therefore, were opened.
STOP OF WA TER WORKS
SHUT OFF ORGAN MUSIC;
INTERRUPTED ANTHEMS
It was too bad. ,
At least everybody In the congre
gations said so, though one of the con
traltos remarked to the basso that It
didn't really make the soprano's sing
ing any more ridiculous than usual.
But then you know the jealousies In
the choir—
It all happened at 11:15 o'clock Sun
day morning—In several of the
churches.
In a Peachtree church the soprano
had Just reached her top note In the
anthem and the organ was rumbling
out Its rich accompaniment.
“I am a pll—" Then the swelling
rumble of the organ ceased suddenly
and a noise like a coyote across the
plains oozed from the pipes. The so
prano broke down. Her expression
showed first amazement, then a strong
suspicion that the organist had joined
the other faction. She retired behind
the curtain.
Out on Washington street the basso
was reaching nway down In his chest
notes.
"I am falling, falling, fall—" Then
the music gave out and he fell cleat-
through. He never got his head above
water again.
"We will proceed with the rest
the service," was the announcement
from the pulpit. And there was
more music.
And It all happened because the city
shut off the water for a little while '
make some repairs. All the church
organs'are operated by water motors,
with the assistance of an organist, und
when the water was turned off-
why -explain further?
But If Park Woodward hadn't left
the city he wouldn't have let It hap
pen. Maybe he’ll be back by next
Sunday.

GREEN DEBATING 80CIETY
HOLDS ANNIVERSARY
Special to Tbe Georgian.
Demerest, Ga., Nov. 19.—The J. S.
Green Debating Society of Piedmont
College held their ninth anniversary
exerelses in Butler hall Friday night.
Professor J. H. Fiord was the presid
ing officer. The welcome address was
delivered by Charles Fieahman.
Declamation. "Popular Education"—
Charles Swindell,
oration, “Labor"—H. B. Blackshear.
President's address, "The College
Man In Public Life”—J. Hubert F’ord.
Miss Slater captivated the audience
with her singing, each number being
encored.
Hon. Thomas F\ Green, of Athens,
delivered the anniversary- address.
Th* summer of 1780 found the pa
triot cause at Its ' low-water mark.
North and South disaster had befallen
the Continental forces, and It began to
xok ae though the struggle of the
colonies for their liberty was to be In
vain. All but the bravest spirits were
about ready to give up, and even the
Washingtons, Greenes and Marions
looked ahead with heavy hearts and
trembling hopes.
But presently the tide began to turn,
and the hearts that were heavy bound
ed for Joy and the hopes that wavered
became strong In the confidence of vic
tory.
Operating at the time down In East
Tennessee and southwestern North
Carolina was one John Sevier, a man
whose name should be passing dear to
every cltlsen of this great and glorious
nation, for It yvas Sevier's energy, pa
triotism and courage that saved the
day and mnde possible the liberty of
his countrymen.
When the gloom was the thickest
Sevier wns recruiting around Knox
ville, trying to raise and equip a force
with which he hoped to do something
for the raus* that yvas so dear to his
heart. His fund* were low; In fact,
were quite exhausted. His private
had already freely given to the govern
ment, nnd now he wns going about
begging others to give, pleading with
them to part with n portion of their
substance In order that liberty might
not perish from the land. Those who
were able to glve*dtd so, but the rank
and file of the people were poor and
unable to contribute, and the prospects
were gloomy.
In his desperation Sevier thought of
a way In which he might get the de
sired funds. John Adair was tax col
lector of the district, and to John Adair
Sevier went In hot haste.
To the tax collector Sevlar said
"Let the have what money you have In
your possession. 1 must buy horses
and arms for my soldiers. We must
win a victory soon or It Is all over with
us. Give me the money, nnd If I live
I will pay every dollar of It back, with
Interest."
Adair answered: "Colonel Sevier,
have no right to make any such dls
position of this money. It belongs to
the Impoverished treasury of North
Carolina. But If the country Is over-
run by the British, liberty Is gone. Let
the money go, too. Take It. If by Ita
use the enemy Id driven from the coun
try 1 can trust the country to Justify
and vindicate my conduct. Take It.”
Sevier took It, and the result v
King's Mountain—the battle that led
to the retreat of Lord Cornwallis, that
led to the surrender at Yurktown and
the establishment of the Independence
of the United States.
Years afterward among some
Sevier's papers that had been picked
up In the attic of a deserted house In
Knoxville was found the following re
ceipt from the treasurer of North
Carolina:
Rec'd Jnn’y 81st, 1782, of Sir. John
Adair, entry taker In the County of
Sullivan, twelve thousand seven hun
dred and thirty-five dollars, which Is
placed to his credit on the treasury
books.
"Per Robert Lanier, Treas.
''12,736 Dollars. Salisbury Dis't.
John Sevier had kept his word. His
honesty was as stanch as his patriot
ism.

Now, the dangers of prosperity ought
to appeat to the heart oflyoung J o
Rockefeller as a text. Taking up the
story of David, Mr. RocHefeller dis
cussed the story of tbe psalmist nn.1
Uriah, the Hlttite, whom David caused
to be murdered that he might obtain
his wife.
"David's new prosperity.” he said
“was probably one of the causes. Any
man can keep a level head when he Is
struggling along, but It takes a strong
man to’ stand prosperity. Rejoice that
you are gaining strength in your strug.
gles. Beware of prosperity and thank
God that you have a struggle before
you.
"Perhaps another cause which led up
to the crime committed by David was
the Idleness* which followed when he
ceased to go to the wars and left the
work to his captains. Self-Indulgence
was perhaps another cause.”

"The young Duchess, of Skane. who
was Princess Margaret of Connaught,
finds life at Stockholm such a con

with depression and home-sickness.
She misses the round gaiety and sport
which she enjoyed at home, and chafes
at the Inactivity she Is condemned to In
a court where the ladles are old fash

portunity to wear the prettiest frocks
