The Southern Express Co., have an¬

the announcement of the new rates
to northern, eastern and western

very inconsistent in view of the inter¬

done to make the rates more uniform.

TAFT ON COURTS.
There are few words better listening
to a: Hr* present moment than Mr.
a.i ■ : eful criticism of our courts.
His experience on the bench, as well
ns bis completely fair disposition and
calm utterance, makes his strictures
especial L persuasive.
• Two points were raised by him in
his last lecture before the Boston Uni¬
versity Law School. One was the dif¬
ficulty with which disbarment proceed¬
ings were applied to the successful and
prominent lawyer who disregarded the
ethics of his profession. The comment
is particularly apt at the moment. The
disbarment of one of the Thaw law¬
yers is welcome, but it comes as an ex¬
ceedingly be in ted piece of justice. The
man in the street cannot help wonder¬
ing why an institution properly jeal¬
ous of the good name of its officers
should be so slow to act in a plain
case.
The delays of litigation Mr. Taft al¬
so in i art declared to be due to ju¬
dicial indifference. We should be glad
to agree with this if a fair portion of
the blame is assigned to the appellate
courts which view a forceful trial
judge with suspicion. Unless our high¬
er courts will command and uphold
the trial judge who refuses to permit
dawdling and confusion the tedious
American trial will continue on its
wasteful course.
We commend Mr. Taft's law lectures
to every American citizen who believes
that an orderly, same reform of our
courts is an urgent necessity.—New
York Tribune.
The Woman’s Club is to be congrat

DEMOCRATIC NEXT TIME, SURE.
Senator Guggenheim who is on n
visit to Savannah, was asked if he be¬
lieved that the Progressive wing will
return to the fold of the Republican
party. “No,” he answered. It is my
judgment that the Republican party
will be strengthened in the course of
time. After the next national election
all other parties besides the Republi¬
can and Democratic will be practically
o.’iuiioated. i do n&t mean, however,
that the Progressives are eliminated
r. :u the situation today.
“The Republican party is stronger
today than it was a year ago, but it
will take another election before it will
gather tis full strength- of the past.
It is a mistake to think that the Pro¬
gressing party will bo eliminated from
;he next election. In the meantime, :
while the Republican party remains
split the dominant Democratic party
will remain in power.”
This,appears the opinion generally.
While there have been efforts to recon¬
cile th** warring factions within the
Repul Roan party, and while further
efforts to that end will be made, it is
not believed that they will be success¬
ful—certainly Lot before the 1910 elec¬
tions. The fall congressional elections
will srove to further open rather than
to heal the wounds which the Repub¬
licans and Progressives have given one
to the other.
These elections will disclose, as the
1912 presidential elections disclosed,
that so long as the Republicans and
Progressives remain apart, there can
