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.

Reverend Andrew MacLeod of Con- net (cut. says to women, “Dress the best you can; cover all defects with paint and powder if necessary, (he should have said "If possible” instead) and with good cooking added you can reach the average male heart.” A good many women will be with him on the paint and powder clause of the proposition but there wll be many others to argue that a man’s heart isn’t worth reaching if It has to be done by cooking The prolonged visit of the Admiral- Prince Louts, of Battenberg, is over and if he carries from our shores as pleasant an Impression as he and his officers and crew have left behind them the most cordial entente of the two great English speaking peoples has not been weakened.

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, themaelv ofcountry’ which IsofCet/cd by what contributes to their welfare. -TO REMOVE — FRECKLES AND- PIMPLES In 10 Days, Use ....NADINOLA,...

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 ties .11 suffice under the anti-lottery lr w ;o t xciudi any ne.vspaper from the malls.

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 asked to secure the their congressman. into entlon of 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 held back from securing the hall In any way, though the Greek youths had no rush formations, never seem ing to have learned the value of team work- Do you think enough to consult competent authority or are you jeopardizing your sight for life by wear ing cheap glasses, or glass es bought as merchandise?
