A SIMILAR VIEW.
The Telegraph'a editorial of Mon
day entitled "The Executive ond the
Tudlclary," find* nupport In the fol-
towing remarka of the New Tork
Evening Poet wherein eomewhat
atmtler views are expreetcd In a
general way nrlthont The Telegraph’a
oltatlona from tho meeaago:
*Yf on financial eubjecte tho Preal-
dent confeases blmaelf Ignorant, there
la another one about which many ee-
rloua mind* ballere that ha U not ad
wall Informed aa ha ought to ba be
fore dlaeouralng on It at length, aa
ha doea In today*! meeaaga. We mean
tha whole qutttlon of law and Can-
etltutlon. of courta and the functlona
and dutlea of Judge*. The long paa-
aaga which he derotea to thoao top
ic!. wo have read with cloaa atten
tion, without wo eonfcaa, dlaeovtrlng
In It a atngta general truth firmly
graaped. Mr. Rooiev.lt aaya many
thtnga that ara obvloutly true, but
nowhere doea ho aetm able to eon-
retro of a law, or a Constitutional
principle, which aometlmea work!
temporary and Incldontol harm, but
which te such a,prorad embodiment
of liberty and Juitlc. that It cannot
ho haatlly aet aside Alt hta toata ara
personal. subjective. Ha haa no largo
nnd enduring atandarda by which to
Judge particular casea. If ha ap
proves of a given law, then it la folly
and wicVedneea tor a Judge to declare
It unconitltutlonal. If a statuta aeema
In him mtaohlavoue, tha reeult of
'popular clamor'—Incited by aomo
other rrealdent—then ho would have
tha oourta brand It null and void.
Mr. Rooeevelt’a mind ta certainly re
fractory to arguments from estab
lished legal doctrines and from tha
groat landmarks of Jurisprudence.
To him. tha law la a note of wax, to
bo shaped according to tha deitre or
whim of tho hour."
THE SHORT STORY.
The English critics are lamenting
tha dtoay of the abort etory. It .la
true no abort atorlea are now being
written that may be ranked with
Poe's "aoldbur." Stevenson's "Man-
halm,'* Tie Maupanaant'a “rear," and
Kipling’s "mt* of tho Brnat,” or
other of tha belt tales of tha sane
authors, but many excellent ehort
storied ara ettll written ai|d pub
lished. particularly In tha United
States where tha demand thr this
form of literature la greatest. Though
leaking In the rare quality of Imag
ination and grace of touch distin
guishing the master work, the beat of
the current short stories are of com
pelling Interest end serve the uaeful
purpose of absorbing even the Jaded
reader end taking him oompletety
away from hlmeelf and hit surmund-
Inge for half an hour. Aa long aa
this ta ra, tt can not bo said that the
short etory la n lost art. and there It
nr telling when a new master may
rome to the work—although human
experience trachea that a new master
ta any art te not to be expected In
yavery decade, xor even ta every gen
oration.
THE RANKS ARE FILLING.
The report of Secretary of War
Wright contains tha gratifying Intel
ligence that desertions from tha army
ara on tha wans and that tho depleted
companies of a year and a half ago
ara being recruited. On October 18
of test year there were 1M7I eoldlere
ehort. but now only »,«1S are needed
to fill the ranks. It la stated that
altogether, no Iras than 111,141 men
applied for enlistment. Of these. 41.-
4Cl were accepted, no tees than 11.711
being men seeking ra-enttstment.
More than a hundred thousand wars
rejected became of Illiteracy, or of
lack of clttaenahtp. or because of
mental, moral and physical defects
It la an III wind that blows nobody
any good. Tha bard times have art-
deatly been of service to tho army

drtvfng the unemployed lets the ranks

tho coat of caring for our foreign
conquests.
Ths appropriations In two sessions
have been nearly two billion. Tha

ours must necessarily ba large, but
there la no excuse for an oppressive
militarism In times of peace or for
reckless squandering of public funds.

Georg* M. Bull, Well-Known Twiggs

In a runaway on the Outing Club

Coroner Young hastened to the scene
of the accident, and. after a thorough
Investigation, decided that an Inquest

“Then," announced the man in .

This In funny enough but the Grid

with Its humor, and it was very con
siderate In the members to deny
themeelves such varied opportunities,
aa the subject afforded.
In hla special message to Congress

American fjeople" The people ran
better bear tip under the Panama
scandal, however, than undor the
President's wholesale reflection on
thoir representatives In Congress
which touches them far more Inti
mately. Individually and collectively.
The New York World Is trying to
“slek" Congress onto President
Roosevelt In view of hla reflection on
the body, but Congress' ardor appears
to be cooling visibly under the Presi
dent's threat that If It censures him
“he will be compelled to show rela
tionships between certain members
ami certain large Interests which
mnde necessary some Investigation by
the secret service."
President Roosevelt In announcing
tho purpose to sue Editor Joseph Pu

Panama canal scandal says, “Now
these stories, as a matter of fact, need
no Investigation whatever." If he

very much surprised.
J. P. Morgan's motto Is said to be

If the high financiers who a.*o In con

tho country will go broke.

The President arrived at the
dinner at 10:10 o'clock. Shortly
afterward the lights were switched

The tent stood In th# midst of

COMMISSIONERS
HOLD AJEETING
Godfrey District Wants a Building tn
Which to Hold Court and Elections
—Informally Discuss the Conviot
Proposition.
U now looks os though the arrange
ment by which the county and city
were to work tho convicts during the
coining your will fall through.
At the meeting of the county com-
inbulonors yesterday no action was
taken In the matter, though the offer
made the city and declined by it waa
tho subject of an Informal discussion
among the members.
ft will be remem befred that the
county, through the county attorney,
Mr. W. G. Smith, and Superintendent
Wlmbush. made the proposition to
Mayor Miller and members of the
street committee of council to secure
one hundred convicts from the state
and turn fifty ofithem over to the city
to do nothing but work on the streets
of the city, which would include all of
tho annexed territory.* To the support
of these convlctjj'thc county would pay
tho sum of three thousand dollars an
nually. It was thought that the city
could rent for twenty-five dollars a
month the comfortable and well ar
ranged quarters of the ITlbb Brick Co.,
for which that company will now have
tio uho. It was also thought that In
this way the city would not find It
necessary to employ the expensive free
labor ns Is done now. and could get
twice as much work out of the con
victs as out of free labor, and thus
It would bo ecenomy to the city.
But h seems that the city wanted
more money with the convicts. The
offer was made' that the city -would
take tho convicts provided the county
would pay five thousand a year, and
tho city would work only within the
city proper; nnd sixty-five hundred If
the city worked the newly annexed
territory.
Tho representative# of the county had
•no authority to make or consider any
other proposition thnn that of the
turning over of the fifty convicts and
tho paymeHt of the three thousand
dollars. And this Is how th# mat
ter stands.
At the mooting yesterday a number
of tho citizens of the Godfrey district
petitioned tho commissioners to erect
a building within the limits of that
district for the purpos# of holding
elections snd court In. The petition
recited the foot -that there was no
building In the district suitable for
the purpose, nnd they thought they
were entitled to have such a building
provided. This petition was referred
to a committee to be reported on at
the next meeting, which will be held
In January when tho two new mem
bers will be present.
Tax Collector Jones reported that
on the advice of physicians he had re
moved his offle© from the basement
of the court house, and wanted to
know If the county would not pay the
rent of the new quarters. The county
attorney decided that the commission
ers had no authority to pay the rent,
and the request was therefore de
clined.

A little slip of a girl and a brawny,

na Cape and Mr. Alva Ray, of Houston
county, from where they had eloped.
The young lady appoared to b© so
jroung that the magistrate hesitated
about performing the ceremony. The
girl stated, however, that sho was
eighteen years of age. “Why, you don't
look to be over thirteen or fourteen."
the Justice told her. But she insisted,
somewhat demurely but firmly never
theless. that she was of legal oge. “Be
sides." she said, “I want to be married.”
The man gave his age os twenty-six.
Judge Rodgers accordingly performed
the ceremony that made them man and
wife and gave them his blessing.
Tho couple stated that they slipped
away from their homes near Byron
end came to Macon. The bridegroom
said that tho glrl'rf parents were op
posed to the marriage and that they
