NEW CONSULAR RULINQ8.
Under the new ruling concerning
appointments to the consular service
by President Roosevelt the applicants
for consulates must pass the examlna'
tion of consuls whose salaries are
$2,500 or less and also provides that
they must understand thoroughly at
legist one modern language other than
than their own. This 1b the most im-
portant step that has been taken to
ward making our consular service ef
ficient and equal to the consular «er
vie© of Germany and England.
Under this ruling any future appli
cant for a consulate will be required
to speak the language of the country
to which he Is sent and for the first
time the commercial Interests of
country will be regarded as para
mount for the influence that any con
sular aspirant can bring to bear on
the president. It is manifestly impos
sible for a man neither speaking nor
understanding German to adequately
represent our trade Interests In Ger
many.
A shoe firm that desired to Intro
duce American shoes in France would
be throwing away money to send an
agent there who knew nothing of
French and who could have no com
munication with nny native of that
country who failed to speak English,
but this is the character of the repre
sentation that the government has for
a long time been providing the com
mercial Interests of the United States
In foreign countries.
It has long been our fatuous boast
that the consular service of this coun
try Is superior to that, of any other
country but the results of the service
have not justified the boast as is at-1
tested by Assistant Secretary of Stat
Peirce, who visited every Important
consulate in Europe and Asia last yea
and who furnished the president th
report that resulted in this ruling.
now, whether or not we go to that
length ultimately.
The logical end of tlie present agi
tation Is railroad ownership by the
government as much as the president
may protest his opposition to the ex
treme step.—Macon Telegraph.

RAILROAD “REGULATION
OWNERSHIP.
It costs one cent to transport a pair
of shoos from New York to Chicag
If It cost nothing would the retail
price of a pair of Now York made
shoes be any lower in Chicago?
Tlu^ illustration is nprop^ Jto tl
suggestion that wo have repeatedly
made to some of our over-heated con
temporaries on the rate question that
the level of frleght rates in America
is such that retail prices to the con
sumers In Macon S.avannah, Atlanta,
Chicago, New York and throughout
the country Is practically on a level
and the level of freight rates has been
reduced one-third in recent years. The
American level of rates is from 50 to
200 per cent lower than In foreign
countries.
We have demonstrated so thorough
ly that Georgia rates are not higher
than in sister states in fact, are lower
than the Alabama and South Carolina
rates that the Issue made some months
ago lu this state has been practically
abandoned.
Where Irregularities exist they
should be corrected and this process
has been going on rapidly for some
years. We cannot for the life of us
see the necessity for upturning our
whole system of government for the
sake of responding to a cry against
our great transportation Hues—the ar
teries of our business life and exis
tence. They of course, should ho kept
healthy and clean; that Is. regulated
with just regard for the general body
politic, but their operation should not
be recklessly clogged, or their good
work for mankind impaired by the
supposed exigencies of political strife
and preferment of persons. ,
In this country as we have said,
whore railroads make their own rates
both freight and passenger rates are
lower than in any other country. And
it is a significant fact that the neir-
est approach to the American rates
are found in great Britain, where the
railroads make their own rates.
It seems to us that it is a plain
business question which need not be
dragged Into politics. Objection has
been urged that the railroads are in
politics and to keep them in politics Is
to set a government commission over
them to control their sources of reve
nue. Then they will be In politics
for all time or as long as the commis
sion stays in existence, or until the
government makes the next step and
takes over the ownership of the rail
roads. And we are heading that way
THE SEA I8LAND GROWERS.
The convention which the Sea Is
land Cotton Growers are going to hold
In this city on the 23rd of this month
promises to be more largely attended
than any similar meeting that has
ever been held. All oyer Florida and
throughout this sectlonlof Georgia
sea island cotton growers recognize
the fact that something must be done
to preserve their industry and make
it profitable to them' That this con
vention will discuss the matter thor
oughly and bring out some important
suggestions goes without saying.
Most of the sea island planters, as
well as the buyers who keep posted on
conditions, recognize the fact that a
movement to force prices up by re
maining out of the market while it
may work some slight temporary ben
efit, is not exactly what the industry
needs. The work of the convention
should go. and it doubtless will go,
much deeper than that. The quality
of the sea Island staple has very much
to do with the price and it is more im
portant now that the quality be kept
high than ever before. ,
There will always be a good demand
for the high grades of sea island cot
ton and at good prices. But the low
grades are too common now to com-
1 any sort of price at all. Egyp-
tain cotton used to be tl4Tmain com
petitor of the low grades of sea Island
but is no longer so. In recent years
there lias been developed a long sta
ple of upland cotton, which is being
grown extensively and wliicu is taking
the place of sea islands In many of the
mills. This would not be so if care
were taken to improve the quality of
the sea island staple.
The convention of long staple cot
ton growers may accomplish much on
several linos, but if It does no more
than cause the planters to determine
to improve their staple by importing
new seed and by other means, it will
be of vast benefit,

Newspapers all over Illinois are in
receipt of a circular letter from a Des
Moines newspaper apprising them
that the postofllce authorities at
Wasl ington lr ve held that reports of
prize winners at euchre and whist par

ensued In order to remove from Its
columns a statement that Mrs. Jones
had won a cut glass water pitcher and
Mrs. Smith had won a chafing dish at
Mrs. Johnson’s card party.
The Des Moines postmaster, after
carefully reading Ills instructions, de
cided that such reports should ex
clude a newspaper from the mails
quite as much as the report of a raf
fle, lottery or other gambling device.
He telegraphed the department at
Washington, and was advised by it
that ills construction of the postofllce
rules was lltterallv correct, but that
the department had n»-\« r seen fit to
enforce the rule as against reports of
society card games. That left the
question open, and Iowa editors are

THE ANTIQUITY OF FOOTBALL.
If it is not the oldest game in the
world football is not far from it. But
it has never been a game in which
puny nations played. The Greek game
was originally colled “pheninda,” or
“feinting,” later it was called “episky-
rus”, under which name it came to re*
semble football.
The Roman game was “follis,” and
was less rough. There was a center
runner in harpastop around whom the
game was fought out. One side was
given the ball; the other chose a cen
ter. The side with the ball stood
some distance back from a line on
which the center runner was posted,
and at signal the ball was thrown past
the middle man. Players could he

any way, though the Greek youths
had no rush formations, never seem
