Governor Hughes has had liis beard trimmed. This will lose him the PopuDst vote. If the truth hurts, let it hurt. That's the way the Athens Banner looks at the Wirz inscription. If Taft wins Hitchcock will probab ly be postmaster general. He ca" then hand cut the pie to the faithful. The defeated candidates in next June’s primary will think the period of depression is still on in Geor gia. Japan is preparing for a great international fair in 1912. That ought to keep the peace for the next four years, anyway. The men who are holding cotton for fifteen cents do not seem to be any nearer the mark than some time ago. The more the pity. The Macon Telegraph says Mrs. Roosevelt is never heard from. Teddy doesn’t give her a chance to even get in a word edgewise. Judson Harmon believes that the tariff is responsible for more abuses in a month than all the railroads ever committed in a year. “No more voters but better mo thers” is the way one woman sizes up the needs of the country in op posing female suffrage. With a great automobile mee* and a hot local election in sight Savannah is in a fairway to lose sight of pro hibition, as the chief topic of daily talk. A rabbi of Boston says the Ameri can public is beginning to learn that “Business is business” was not among the maxims handed down on Mount Sinai. - If the weather man will give the farmers of Sumter half a chance there will be many thousands of acres plow ed up for the next crop within the coming fortnight. The lawyer who makes a business of soliciting business is a menace tc the community in which he lives, says the Rome Tribune. Sometimes he reforms and gets into high offices. Days like Monday are a convinc ing argument in favor of paving the business section as quickly as possi ble. When it comes to mud rs. bricks there is no doubt as how the public stands. The Tribune wants Rome to gel out of the “about-to-be” class. Cer tainly. Rome should get in the class with Americus, the class of cities that are already there and moving ahead. The negroes may remember the Brownsville affair, says the New York Tribune, but those in office are pretty apt to remain loyal to the federal appointing power . Pie beats preju dice everytime. A titled European says with a sneer, “There is no society in the United States.” Ten to one he has never read the society pages of our city dailies or he would certainly know much better. The public will have an ample crop of candidates to select from at the coming primary. The offices are all important ones and the selection ol those to vote for is a matter that de serves careful consideration. The normal, natural revival ol eighty milion purchasing people whose regular consumption is itsell a tremendous market, has begun, says the Philadelphia Press in an optimistic look into the business future. It is proposed to move the statue of George Washington away from its position in front of the capitol at Washington. Here may be Pennsyl vania’s chance to secure a site for its statue of that immortal patriot Matthew Stanley Quay. Gov. Cummins of lowa, is said tc have his eyes on the Republican pres idential nomination, in the event that Taft cannot make it. Cummins was the original tariff revisionist of the G. O. P. but the party will hardly go that far west for a standard bearer. The suggestion that J. Pierpont Mor gan be elected President of these United States, the Washington Post says, ' “is both interesting and valua ble.” It certainly is. And to think of the barrel that J. P. could put up without calling on the corporations! TIME NOW FOR THE INCOME TAX, Now that the government is facing a great deficit in its income foF the ensuing year, witn the country still struggling with adverse business con ditions, and with the public mind more than ever concentrated on the fact that great wealth should be made to bear more of the burdens of govern ment than it has heretofore been doing, the times would seem tb be propi •ious for the renewal of the income tax measure in Congress. Both of the great party leaders stand committed to an income tax. Bryan has always favored it, and Roosevelt has several times given utter ance to views along that line. It is safe to say that the vast majority of \oters throughout the country are committee to the same principle of taxa tion and would hail the passage of a law by Congress that would meet the objections heretofore held against such auspices of taxation by the Supreme Court. The opinion is widespread that wealth—predatory or otherwise-- has not been and is not beai-ng its full quota of governmental expenses and that the burdens bear down too heavily on the man of average or email means. Representative Hull, of lowa, is talking of bringing the matter before the House again. If he does he can rely upon a pretty solid Democratic support. In a recent interview Representative Hull said: “Every reason now* exists in support of some action by Congress that wBl result in securing a review by the United States Supreme Court of the Important constitutional questions in this law which were by that court decided adversely to the Government in the face, of a uniform line of decision to the contrary extending o\er 100 years of the nation's history. Furthermore, this decision of the Supreme Court only declares invalid certain portions of the Income Tax law. while other provisions were treated as within themselves valid by the court. It is due the country and due the Supreme Court, in my judgment, that an opportunity for further considera tion of these controverted questions, so vital to the power of Congress, should be given the Supreme Court. “To cite a case in point, a majority of the Supreme Court rendered a decision that the Treasury notes of the United States were not a legal tender for the pavment of private debts, but immediately thereafter, after the court had been re-organ a contrary decision was rendered which yet stands as the law. The Government is almost in the act of facing a ?!00,000,000 deficit; the enforcement of the Income Tax law would easily bring into the Treasury $75,000,000 to $100,000,000. Congress must regain much of its taxing power destroyed by this decision before an equitable efficient income tax can be levied, especially the power to thus reach in vested personal property, bonds, stocks and investments of all kinds; also the income arising from the renting of real estate. “This course would enable the wealthier class to assume what it has so long avoided, a part of its just share of the burden of taxation, and so make up the impending deficit Why should not this course be pursued? It is the most feasible. Democrats generally favor the income tax. The President favors even a graduated income tax. So let these questions be again reviewed by the Supreme Court, in the hope that the court as now composed may return to the original doctrine. It is not sought to enforce that portion of the law imposing tax on incomes from State and municipal bonds.” A LIMITED PARCELS POST | Both in the Senate and Lower House of Congress bills have been introduc ed providing for a limited parcels post. None of the bills goes any fur ther than to provide for a cheap rate for packages which originate at the office from which the route starts. For instance Americus merchants could have the benefit of this rate for goods they desired to send by mail to cus tomers living on rural routes start ing here, but could not get the same rate on rural routes running out of Plains or Cordele. These bills side-step the recommeh dation of Postmaster General Myers, which provided also for a reduced rate for the mail order houses of the large cities to any rural route in the United States. Representative Griggs of Georgia, is the author of one of the bills in the Lower House. Should the proposed parcels post be adopted, it might be .of some bene fit to the rural route patron who had a telephone and a line of credit with the town merchants but the added cost of 5 cents for the first pound or less, would make it differ ent from ordering goods delivered in town by telephone, where the mer chants have a free delivery system by wagon. Os course the Government will lose heavily on delivering packages at 5 cents for the first pound and 2 cents for additional pounds, but there is some consolation in the belief that the patronage of the mills at these low rates would be small. It would be a case of a merchant selling goods be low cost, for the Government, the more he sold the worse off he would be. While the proposed parcels post is of a comparatively harmless type, except when the people come to foot the extra bills in postofflee appro priations, there is danger that it may be attempted to use it as an entering wedge for a general parcels post, when the big mail order houses will be able to place its goods in the local merchants territory at a nomi nal charge. The evils of such a par cels post have heretofore been point ed out. If this should be its effect, the proposed law could not be con demned too strongly. Anyway, there is little to be gained even by the proposed limited parcels post, and there might be evil con sequence. It would be a good thing to let alone. MAKING PORTUGAL A REPUBLIC Efforts to make Portugal a Repub lic since the killing of King Carlos have been unsuccessful. Last week a wide-spread plot at Oporto to es tablish a Republic was nipped and numerous conspirators arrested. For the time being the Government is in control. But regrettable as was the regicide, it is not likely that the move to make the Kingdom a republic will be restrained on that account. The killing has not been definitely fas tened on the republic party, and was probably the work of anarchists who were working under cover of the pop ular agitation against Premier Fran co. Reforms do not usually go back ward, so that the chances of Portugal joining the list of republics is bright. In the present unsettled condition of that country, the new member of the family of republics will not reflect any great credit on the name. An English rector has invited the men to “bring their pipes to church.” If the women were only invited to bring their cigarettes wdth them the church would become a very popular instituion. But one cannot help won dering what would become of its refining and elevating influence if the sadists in the pulpit were allow ed to have full sway. THROUGH TRAINS TO HAVANA The first train has just been run over one of the most remarkable lines of railroad in the world, the exten sion of the Florida East Coast Rail way from Miami, to Knight’s Key, on its way to Key West. At Key West steamers will ultimately carry the entire trains to Havana, a run of nine hours. The road Is built over the intervals between keys, one space being three miles in length. The trains will be “ocean going.” This railroad building has been made possible by the coral foundations at no very great depth upon w-hich the cement piers were builded. If the matter had been left the coral insects in ten thousand years they might perhaps have built up the gap themselves, but this was a little too long for President Henry M. Flagler, whose dream it has been to complete the East Coast to Key West. Though in recent years the road has felt the stringency of money, yet one way or another it has been kept going until a long link has been built which in itself brings Cuba and the United States several hours nearer to gether. Forty-seven miles yet remain to be built before Key West is reached, but the success so far obtained will insure the rest of the work. In two or three years it will be possible to get into a sleeping car at New York and land in Havana without leaving the car. Tourists as well as business men will be the gainers by this great work. Trade should be stimulated and this country come into her own as the chief supplier on Cuba’s ne^ds. SEIZING THE OPPORTUNITY. Holders of the second and third in come bonds of the Central of Georgia have entered suit to compel the pay ment of the full 5 per cent dividend on these two classes of debentures for the fiscal year ending June 30 last. At the annual meeting of the directors of the road held last Aug ust the thirds were left entirely out, while the seconds got less than 4 per cent. Interest on the incomes bonds is payable “when earned” and it is the contention of the complain ants, that the dividends were really earned, and that the manipulation of the earnings of the Ocean Steamship Company, which is owned by the Central, prevented the books from showing the requisite net earnings to have made the full 5 per cent inter est on all three classes of bonds nec essary. The suits have been institut ed in Savannah. Without going into the merits of the case, which will be fully argued by both sides, it is a safe prediction that there will be nothing to wrangle over for the fiscal year which ends June 30, next. It is doubtful if the firsts will even be able to show in the next distribution. It may be a case of now or never with the second and thirds. Hon Joseph M. Brown has already pointed out that Central of Georgia securities were owned by a large number of widows, eleemosynary in stitutions and estates. The efficient work of the Georgia Railroad Com mission in contributing so generous ly to the production of conditions which will leave the bondholders of the Central with the empty sack to hold next time will not tend to allay the rising tide which the “reformers” are encountering. “Help me Cassius,” may yet be the wail of Gov. Smith. During the snow and sleet storm which swept over North Georgia Monday, Atlanta was cut off from the rest of the world. How the rest of the world managed to survive the deprivation will no doubt be a mys tery to the Atlantans. Occasionally a detective tries to disguise his breath with a clove.—Ex, RHEUMATISM BLOOD FILLED WITH URIC ACID Rheumatism comes front an excess of uric acid in the blood. This acid circulating through the system acts as an irritant to the different muscles, nerves, bones and tissues of the body, and produces the inflammation and swelling of the joints and the sharp, cutting pains characteristic of the dis ease. AYhen the blood is overburdened with uric acid it continually grows weaker and more acrid, and poorer in nourishing qualities. Then Rheuma tism becomes chronic, and not only a painful, but a formidable and danger ous disease. Sometimes the heart is attacked, the general health is affected, and the oils and fluids which lubricate the muscles and joints are destroyed by the acrid matter which the blood is constantly depositing in them ; the muscles shrink and lose their elasticity, the coating of the joints becomes hard and thick, and often the sufferer is left a hopeless cripple. S. S. S. attacks the disease at its head, goes down into the circulation, and by neutral izing and removing the uric acid from the circulation and building up the thin, acrid blood, cures Rheumatism permanent! y. S. S. S. changes the sour, acid-burdened blood 0 nvß to a rich, healthy stream which quiets the excited nerves, eases the throbbing, painful PURELY VEGETABLE muscles and joints, and filters out of the system the irritating matter which is causing the pain and inflammation.

It's the fashion—because he has made an immense fortune. I file a brief for the defense, not of Standard Oil but of this alleged hard old fellow. He will live in history as "one who loved his fellow man," like Ben Adhem; but, unlike Ben, he is one of the world's benefactors. It was a benefaction to distribute coal oil all over the world, to put it in reach of the poorest. Who minds a few cents more or less for a gallon of lamp oil? I remember that, when a boy, I used to get my lessons by a single “star” candle; my father got his by a home made tallow “dip," and he used to say that his father got his by "light-’ood"; that is,- pine knots split up. Our first lamp burned lard oil; the next were “camphene” and “phosgene,” explosive as dynamite. The introduction of coal oil as a luminant was a distinct ad vance and a blessing to millions. Well, what a luxury a coal oil lamp would have been to her who, with a single thread, 'sewed at a shirt and a shroud.” But Rockefeller gave $50,000,000 to education at one pop. Peabody isn't in it a litle bit, nor Carnegie either. These things, however, I did not intend to allude to. What was in my mind to say was that Rockefeller gave New York city $5,000,000 to found an “institute for medical research.” The institute is now in operation, and one of the very first—if not the first—dis coveries by “research” made possible by this misunderstood and absurd old gentleman is one of inestimable value and far-reaching importance. It is no less than a small quantity of Ep som salts, hypodermically administer ed, is an anaesthetic, local and gener al, void of the dangers that attend chloroform, ether and cocaine. And this discovery was made by experi ment on a dog. Now, mind you, I love a dog, and I may say as my friend Frank Johnson used to say, the more I see of some men the better I like dogs. "Not Caesar less, but Rome More.” I love humanity more; and while the necessity of animal experi mentation in the laboratory for the advancement of medical science and the prolongation of life is to be de plored, still it is necessary. Big Insurance Policies (Rochester Democrat and Chronicle) Some men achieve greatness in one way and some in another. Rod man Wanamaker, son of John Wana maker of Philadelphia, is famous for carrying more life insurance policies than any other man in the country. His i>olicies aggregate $4,000,000 at the present time, according to a table published in New York, while his fa ther carries policies of $1,500,000. President Roosevelt, it is stated, is a patron of the life insurance compan ies to the amount of $85,000. James C. Colgate is insured for $1,500,000, and there are a score of New York ers with policies exceeding half a million. One interesting feature of the table is a list of the women who carry large policies, the name*of Mme. Schumann-Heink, the singer, being at the head. She pays premiums on policies amounting to $135,000. It is stated that there are 5,000 persons in the country who carry policies on their lives exceeding $50,000. He Has His Doubts (Chicago News.) You tell him anything you please— That black is black or white is white, That curdled milk makes cottage cheese, That blind men have no, sense of sight. That rabbit’s tails are rather brief, That cocks will crow and ducks will swim. He looks at you with_unbelief; You’ve got to prove all that to him. He doesn't mean to doubt your word, He’s no desire to give offense, But he's a pretty wary bird And wants to see the evidence, He knows that there are snares and traps, And so he waits in silence grim; It may be very true, perhaps, But you must prove all that to him. « And you might affidavits bring, By notaries in form attest. Os witnesses a perfect string And books until you couldn’t rest, Your chance would still be pretty slim, Os show-ing him that he’s a fool; You never could prove that to him. Exports of cotton for the season are nearly 400,000 bales below last year, but the takings of American mills are more than 200,000 hales lar ger. On the other hand the amount of cotton brought into sight for the season is more than 1,500,000 less than last season. Unless there should be a very material decrease in the tak ings of mills as compared with the same period of last season, a sensa tional rise could be expected as the season draws to a close and mills have the alternative of paying 15 cents or shutting down. THE PUBLIC MIN'D AND TARIFF • Baltimore Sun> In view of the impossibility of get ting tariff reform at once, it may be very desirable to have a nonpartisan commission to collect facts and sug gest a tariff for the Congress of 1909 to- consider. The hearings and the dis cussions attending the work of the commission will have an educative value. The public mind will be in structed in regard to the absurdities and enormities of the exisiting tariff, and public sentiment in favor of reform may acquire a volume and momentum that will make it irres istable. There are those who be lieve that the anti-railway rate dis cussion and legislation fostered for several years by the President were initiated partly to divert the public mind from the tariff and its effect in fostering trusts. It will be recalled that President McKinley, just before his assassination, announced a policy of tariff reduction, and the public mind at that time was much occupied with the subject. A diversion was needed. The outcry against trusts, pointed directly to the tariff as their fostering cause. The diversion came shrewdly in the shape of denuncia tions of*the railways. Standard Oil and other interests not protected by the tariff. The tariff has been kept out of sight by the President. But the diversion does not last, and in the meeting at Washington we have the spectacle of protectionists them selves reverting so President Mc- Kinley’s program. THE LENGTHENING ROLL. • New York World) Morse has lost his fortune and fled. Let those who lose al 1 faith in fair ness, who think that the laws were always made against the poor and humble and lawyers for the rich and powerful, who believe that a stolen fortune always protects the robber from the consequences of its theft, who imagine that because there some times seems no justice in law. there fore there is no law of justice—let such as these take heed of the growing list of those who in the last two years, thinking themselves above the law, were punished by the law or perished by the law. Let them think of those who like Hyde and McCurdy and Morse have been exiled by the law’s like Walsh and Burton, Gaynor and Greene and Schmitz, have been found guilty in courts of justice, who like Alexan der have been broken and like Bar ney and Maxwell have been driven to suicide by that implacable higher law which has never favored class or privilege. Let them think of the lengthening roll and know that retribution is not recreant. Lovely Woman (Somerville Journal) She got into a street car on A freezing winter day; She left the front door open—O What did the people say: She bravelv took a hammer, and She tried to drive a nail: The catastophe that, followed Made every one turn pale— Lovely woman! She started to a party, just A half hour late; At the door she asked her husband: “Have I got my hat on straight?” They got her in the court room, and They asked her: "What’s your age?” Says she: “I'll own to twenty-five”— Now that, was pretty sage. Lovely woman! She bought an automobile veil, A hundred inches long; She'll have an automobile, when They’re selling for a song. She worked and read and talked all day As every woman ought; At midnight, when her husband came, She told him what she thought— Lovely woman! She's not at all athletic, as A'ou’re often heard her say, But she’d jump on the piano, if A mouse should come her way! Can she keep the man a-busting? You Can simply bet your life!

Thousands of women have found that the use of Mother’s Friend during pregnancy robs confinement of all pain and danger, and insures safety to life of mother and child. This scientific liniment is a god-send to all women at the time of their most critical trial. Not only does Mother’s Friend carry women safely through the perils of child-birth, but its use gently prepares the system for the coming event, prevents “morning sickness,’’ and other dis- comforts of this period.
