GEORGIA’S FINANCES
IN A BAD FIX.
Atlanta, Ga., Oct. 2ft.— Not In a score
of years will a state administration
have begun under such financial em
barrassment as will bo probable with
that of Governor Joseph M. Brown.
Unless some unknown sources pro
duce considerable revenue between
the prsent tlmo and June of next year.
Br. Brown will go Into offlee facing a
practical deficit of about $800,000 may
be o million dollars, in tho Btate’s
revenue.
It Is possiblo the first work tho next
legislature will be called ppon to
■will bo the providing of some means
for meeting the obligations of the
state, and owing to the constitutional
restrictions surrounding the levying
of taxes the problem will tax the In
genuity of tho ablest mombers of the
ndmlnlntratlon.
The last state legislature has re
duced the revenue of the stato nearly
n half million dollars, without, so far,
adding pny to the same. Through abol
ition of saloons, approximately $250,-
000 was lost; through tho new convict
system about $100,000 will bo taken or
kept from the state treasury, musing
a total of about $:ir»0,000 shortage In
the 1908 revenue.
In addition to this the school ap
propriation alone has been Increased
$200,000 for 1908 and $260,000 for 1909
meaning an Increase In appropriations
over and above those for last year to
the amount or the decreases made by
two fell swoops in the revenue of the
state.

tion processes. Gompers comments
upon tho apparent Inconsistency of
tho President.
In conclustlon tho labor ^ leader

President Roosovelt having made
Judge Taft the candidate of tho re
publican party for president and see
ing tho labor vote now aroused and

awful descent from the high offlee of
President. Nono but himself is de

Roosevelt."

WHY MONNETT
BECAME A DEMOCRAT.
F. S. Monnett, former attorney gen
eral of Ohio, addressing Utah Demo
crats said:
“The reason I left the Republican
party and advocate the election of
Mr. Bryan Is due to the 'fact that while
I was prosecuting the Standard Oil
Trust In Ohio, and with every reason
to expect a successful issue, the Re
publican campaign furid of Ohio
swelled by contributions from the
standard OH Company, and In return
that company was allowed to name
tho personnel of tho Supreme Court
of Ohio, whereupon all the cases
against them would be dismissed.
“Then,” said Mr. Monnett ”1 be
came a democrat.
A COLD WINTER COMING.
San Francisco, Oct. 26.—Somo lum
bermen searching for new timber
worlds to conquer and to decimate,
hare discovered In Tulare county Cal

Speaking of the slzns that generally
preceed and prognosticate a cold win

prorlder. She nerer forget, her tiny
foather and furred creatures; .he nev

cient store of food, but she seldom lav
ishes upon them moro t than they need.
Perhaps ihe fears they might become
negligent and careless. At any rate,
careful observation hae seemingly
proved that a scarcity of nuts In the
woods Invariably precedes a mild win

London, Oct. —Discussing Ih* po
sition of women under the new condt
tlon In Turkey, a Constantinople cor
respondent of a London Journal points
out that many of tho modern Turks
are monogamists, and that their wlven
live at home much after the manner
of Europeans. -But” he goes on to
say, -The women want more;” they
want to Institute home life, and many
have done wv already. They also do-
sire to receive visitors without re
striction and ai-ni more becoming
Jrese In public; The educated Turks
have no objection to tat, provided th*
, most of them and pick only the best
ones, here and there, with which to
All their larders In th* hollow treee.
Instinct hu Unght th* cunning little
grey scamps that there will be many
bright days In midwinter when they
can forage among the treetope and on
the edges of flelds for fresh food. But
In October, when the nuts lie thickly
among the dead leaves, the squirrel!
are very buty. All day they ran hith

eyes active, wits nimble as their feet,
searching oat every not and ready to
scald or light any and all comers for
IU possession. They eeem to know
well that when the Ice and enow come
they will etay n long while.
Aside from th* snr* Instinct of the
wild things, the lews of harass corn-
change Is not too quick. ,u they also

If It remained with thl. class along pu “ ,lon , ‘ Ttt * “• «P* cu ‘" m ®* •
the change would come rapidly, but
there are the common classes and the
country peopple, who cannot unJer
stand It, and can never Imagine any
change by which their women folk
should be anything else than what
they have been for centuries.
