THE SHERMAN OUTRAGE.
Father Sherman’s "March to the
Sea” Is more suggestive of the famil
iar tactics of John Alexander Dowle,
Carrie Nation, "General" Coxoy and
others of that Ilk than the sane act of
a Roman Catholic priest, just as the
participation of United States troops
In the expedition Is more In line with
what might rather be oxpected of
Hayti or San Domingo than of the
leading nation of tho Western Hemis
phere.
Is It any wonder, that Georgia’s
blood bollB In the face of this indlg.
nlty—yea, this outrageous Insult?
William Tecumseh Sherman's "March
to the Sea” was one of the most
shameful expeditions ever Inaugurated
nnd prosecuted under the flag of an
onllglitoned people. It was brutal and,
viewed from the standpoint of mili
tary expediency, wholly unnecessary.
Sherman’B trail was marked by such
desolation as was seldom left by the
marauding armies of the Old World In
the Dark Ages, and the record of his
Inglorious achievement will ever re
main a blackened page In the history
of the republic.
And now, more than forty years af
ter the close of the War Between the
States, an Obsoure son of William Te
cumseh Sherman comes forward with
a flourish of trumpets and begins a
second "Sherman’B March to the Sea"
over the Identical route followed by
the Iron-handed brute who laid a help
less state waste under conditions
which made the offense against civil
ization one df tile most heinous In his
tory.
Had Father Sherman elected to pro
ceed quietly and alone, or with a small
party of personal followers, over the
route from Chattanooga to the sea, no
particular harm would have
done; but for the United States gov
ernment to provide an escort of Fed
eral troops, thereby dignifying the ex-
pedltlon ns one of an official, charac
ter, Is an act without precedent—an
act outrageous, Inexcusable and, but
for the fact that the people of Georgia
are too clear-headed, to do anything
Macon went after that state Domo-
emtio convention, and got It. But Bhe
had the people of the state, or the
brent majority of them, with her.
It Is said by proud Arkansas, accord-
|ng to the' Atlanta Constitution, that
gj Gov. Jeff Davis can chew more tobacco
S^hhon any other man In the country. It
■ i (o now easy to understand why no one
c.in beat that man for nn office which
Arkoupna voters hnye to fill.

Boston's Marathon race was won

foolish, ono whoso fruit would Inevi
tably bo Irreparable mischief.
Why does the foolish government at
Washington rub salt in the wounds of
the South, for the healing of which
such Infinite care has been taken?
Why will the administration of The
odore Roosevelt allow a whole section
of tho country of which he Is the ex-
eoutlve hond to be outrageously In
sulted tor the mere gratification of the
whim of the son of a Union genoral
whose name Is a by-word of soorn In
tho South?
Echo answers, why?
The expedition of Father Sherman
Is to bo deplored. Georgia can stand
It, but It enkindles In tho breasts of
the pooplo of the whole South an In-
exprosslble contempt for the Federal
authorities who are responsible for
tho outrage.
Snn Francisco now faces the future
bravely nnd hopefully. She has lost
property valued at $200,000,000, but Is
rich In confidence In her own ability
and the resources of the section sur
rounding her. In a few years there
will not be a trnco of tho great con
flagration. nnd Snn Francisco will be
n stronger, richer city than she would
have been had disaster never come to
overwhelm her.
present scale of building prices Edi
son’s scheme seems almost like a bur
lesque, but, he has faith In It, and that
ought to win It respect. Cement
houses are a possibility; and the mold
process may likely enough prove prac
tical. Whatever the process of con
struction, they are already becoming
common In some parts of the country,
and with the ever Increasing price of
lumber there 1b every reason to be-
Hove that cement will, grow Into a
popular building material.
Commenting on the above, the Ad
vertiser says:
As an Inventor Mr. Edison doubtless
stands at the head of all living men,
nnd probably ahead of any who has
lived In the past. He has given to the
world so many Inventions that a list
of them would be astonishing, -and
some of them have proven so useful
and Invaluable, and have become such
a necessary part of American daily
life that we are led to wonder that
they were not long ago thought out.
ns well as to marvel over the condi
tion of humanity without them. “Fa
miliarity breeds contempts," we are
told, and It familiarity with some of
Edison’s Inventions has not bred con
tempt for them It has at least caused
us to look on them as part of our nat
ural and Indispensable environments.
But If the claims Indicated In the
Toregolng article shall prove to be
well founded wyi' feel safe In saying
that nothing he hns done In the past
will prove more valuable to the coun
try at large than a method of building
good houses cheaply. It Is a discovery
Which comes right home to all who
Intend or contemplate building sub
stantial houses. More than that, it Is
a. discovery that will Increase In value
continually because of the great and
increasing cost of all kinds of wood.
It seems very much as If cement In
some term must be the building ma
terial of the future. It Is not likely
that there will be any material de-'
crease, It there Is any at a*. In the
cost of constructing houses and other
structures of brlok or stone. It Is
certainty that houses built of wood
will not only not become cheaper but
Will keep going higher. All workers In
wood know that prices have been
steadily advancing for years, and that
second Or third class lumber costs as
much now ns the first class article
did a decade ago.
All these considerations unite to
make Edison’s statements Interesting
to all people except' the rloh wno can
afford to pay big prices for their
homes. We do not know the particu
lars of the Edl8oninn plan. When he
speaks of building a seven-room house
for only $350 we do not know whether
he means the entire structure or only
the bare walls, but suppose he means
the lutter, anti that the floors, doors,
windows nnd other work costs as
much; think of building a substantial
nnd complete house of seven rooms
for only $700, and compare that with
the cost of a house of the Borne size,
well built of first-class wood, and we
can see what a difference there will
be In first cost, and can appreciate
what his plan means.
But the first cost Is not all, or even
the greater consideration. A solid
building of concrete, with as little
wood about It as can be used, will not
only be practically flre-proof but will
be Infinitely more durable than any
wooden structure can possibly be.
These are two considerations which
will at once appeal to all who want
enduring homes, and they are two
which all who build or contemplate
building will appreciate. The raw ma
terial for concrete Is almost without
limit, It can be easily moulded Into a
solid wall or Into building blocks, and
hence we see no reason why there
should be any doubt, either as to the
feasibility or the economy of the Edi
son plan. Wo expect to hear more of
It. nnd hopo there is no mistake about
It
SMOOT IS 8AFE.
Although a -great deal of time has
been consumed In the trial of Reed
Smoot, of Utah, In a sort of Bham ef
fort to have him vacate his Beat, there
Is perhaps nobody In the country who
expects’ to see the man ousted.. The
Hartford Times states the case pretty
well as follows;
This Illustration
The reason why Smoot Is probably
safe In the senate 1b that a private
treaty exists between the Republican
party leaders and the apostles of the
Mormon church, which secured the
vote of Utah for Roosevelt In 1904 and
will also secure the electoral vote of
the state in 1908, If It Is not broken.
The Republican party used to pride It-
self on being the Implacable toe of
Mormonlsm. Today the G. O. P. Is
Its faithful friend and defender. This
alliance is one of the political be
quests of the late Mark Hanna, and It
Is being loyally administered by his
successors.
ANOTHER EDISON INVENTION —
CEMENT HOUSES.
In the Montgomery Advertiser we
find the following from tho Now Bed
ford Standard, which will be Interest
ing to many of our readers:
Much hns been snld In recent times
about the possibilities of cement In
house building. If Thomas A. Edison
s correct In his conviction that a
-room house can be constructed ot
this substance by his procoss for $350,
there would seem to be no reason why
cement houses should not speedily be
come popular. He has luvented a new
cement that can bo run Into molds
much as molten Iron Is treated In cast
ing. nnd he claims that it Is entirely
practical for house building—moldB to
be first erected arid the cement run tu.
The procoss will give one a house al
most while he watts, for the cement
will dry In a day and the house stand
ready for Interior finish. The matter
of plaster is entirely done away with,
but there will still be some need for
the carpenter, though metal window
and door casings can be used and the
risk ot fire thereby reduced. With the
From the tone of a double-column
slugged editorial In this morning’s edi
tion of the Atlanta Journal, under the
caption, “The Committee and the Peo
ple,” the reader Is left in doubt as to
whether Candidate Hoke Smith’s or
gan Intends to submit to and abide by
the rules and regulations adopted by
the State Democratic Committee for
the government of the Democratic pri
mary ordered for the 22nd of August.
The Journal seems to be laboring In
the present campaign under the de
lusion that It Is "the people,” and It
Is quite apparent that the clean-cut,
all-wool, yard-wide Democratic quail-
ficatlons and regulations laid down by
the State Democratic Committee for
this year’s primary do not suit It and
the purposes of Its candidate. But we
are not surprised, for it has been evl.
dent for some time that the Journal
and Its carididate, with Tom Watson
for a whip, have been, directing their
efforts to corralling all the Populists
In the state to carry the day for them
In the Democratic primary, and it Is
naturally disappointing to them to
have the bars closed to the whole
hunch unless they declare themselves
to be Democrats and pledge them
selves to abide by the Democratic
party nominations, state and national.
