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. 5j.:t ’ ———— .

But the runners ‘.inis year had to face a strong, chilly iqaat wind for the last eight or ten ' injles, and Boston’s east wind Is no- The speed of the runners ; nearly ten miles an hour; It is a speed for a trolley car, and If any- <ji:c- thinks he can travel at that gait ’on pis legs it would be well for him to try the experiment 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. is a mere outline, a mere suggestion of how High Art Summer Coats and Pants fit and look.
