Editob Home Joubnal: The
opponents of the Olive bill are be
ginning to get uneasy about the
coloring of the next" legislature.
Pamphlets containing speeches
by opponents of this bill have been
distributed broadcast over Georgia
for the purpose, seemingly, of
changing the minds of the people,
most of whom wanted this or some
similar bill passed. I have been
the recipient of some of these
pamphlets, neatly _ printed and
bound, and wondered at whose ex
pense this was done. The print
ing and mailing of these speeches
would take more than- the salary
of an average legislator after his
necessary expenses at the capital
were paid, so we are obligedjto see
that it is either a matter of glory
Or business. I prefer to. consider
it the last. In one of these speech
es, made by Hr.- Glenn, of Whit
field, he says: “As the purpose of
their organization ts not merely
private gain for the projectors, but
public utility and the general good,
So far as their methods tend to
reach the latter, they should be
upheld; so far as they tend to the
opposite, they should be reprobated
and controlled.” This is certain
ly all right, and as' it should be,
but can the opponents of this bill
show one single instance in the
whole railroad history of the coun
try where the public utility and
general good has been considered
in preference to the private gain of
the projectors. I venture the as
sertion that there is not one on
record, even in the memory of the
“oldest inhabitant.” Therefore,
according to the argument of this
gentleman, they should be repro
bated and controlled; and can
there be a more effective method
of crontrolling them than by for
feiting their rights as corporations
when they violate the laws of the
state?
Mr. Mathews, in his piece pub
lished a short time since, says the
courts are the proper place for the
people to find redress, and quotes
the case of Collins vs. the Central
Railroad; but this is precisely
what the .people dan’t want. A
man can’t go into law without a
lawyer, and I have yet to find one
willing to work without a fee. So
in every case wliere a man was
wronged, it would mean a big fee
for some lawyer. This is all right
for the lawyer, and from their
standpoint I think I should like
it that way myself; but in the way
provided by the Olive bill it is the
duty of the Attorney General, a
paid officer of the state, to look af
ter these matters. The latter, in
my opinion, is better for the peo
ple.
I quote from Mr. Glenn again:
“That it exercises an immense
power for good or ill over those
upon whom it comes in contact.”
This is freely admitted, and the
only reason why we should pass
the Olive bill, or some similar bill,
is to render it impossible to use
that “immense power” to the ill of
any oue. Now comes another quo
tation which seems to me in direct
contradiction to the one first
quoted. It is: “It is not the out
growth of philanthropy, nor is it
built for the* sole purpose of de
veloping a country. The obect of
its promoters is, in the better sense
of the word, a purely selfish one.
It is organized, put.iu motion, its
trains ran, its schedules fixed, its
freight and passenger tariffs ad
justed and changed for the purpose
of making money, money for those
who have invested.in it,” It seems
exceedingly strange to me- that an.
intelligent gentleman making a
speech before the House of Rep
resentatives of Georgia would use
two remarks so strangely contra
dictory. The last is certainly the
legitimate object of all corporations
when they are conducted in a legal,
fair and honest manner, but as
they Lave extraordinary rights and
privileges granted them, they
shoule be controlled by a strin
gent law; one which they will fear
to violate.
Mr. Glenn further says that this
bill is “a pioneer in its field, and
has no predecessor.”-. How, 1 like
that. As Georgia was the pioneer-

The intention of this Olive bill
is to work ill to no one, but to let
everyjeombination of capital be and
stand alone on its own merits.
And, according to my mind, one
of the strongest possible argu
ments in favor of the passage of
this bill, is the fact that the. pam
phlets mentioned have beeu so ex
tensively distributed. The corpo

says the Youths Companion, when
tne man with whom she was talking
spoke immediately afterward of

thought, to correct a lady in that
fashion. She would have enjoyed
a conversation with a gentleman
of whom one of our exchanget
narrates an annecdote:
He was a guest at a Hew York
hotel, and called upon the clerk
for a sheet of paper, saying that
he wished to write a letter.
Half an hoar later he again ap
proached the counter. He had
finished the letter. Would the
clerk please read it and see if it
was all correct.
The clerk glanced at it and
said;
I see that you spell jug, “gug”
That isu,t right.
I know it, was the reply; but
you see I’m writing to the old
man, and he .always spells it that
wey. If I put the other “g” to it,
he would think I was putting on
style over him and forgetting I
was his son. He’s sorter tender
hearted, and I don’t want to htusg
his feelings.
And so the letter went off
with only one “g” at the end of

Wonders of the Bog Star.
It is difficult to conceive that
this beautiful star is a globe much
larger than onr sun; yet- it is a
fact that Sirius, the Dog Star, is a
sun, many times more mighty than
our own. That splendid star,
which even in onr most powerful
telescope, appears as a mere point
of light, is in reality a globe emit
ting so enormous a quantity of
light and heat that were it to take
the place of our sun, every crea
ture ou this earth would be con
sumed by its burning rays. Sir-

the “survival of the fittest” that

progress. How the first genera-'

guise, has always been an unsolved
mystery. We wear them for no
better reason than because our
fathers did.
The evolution of the stove-pipe,
to come back to the" delectable
and splendid beaver or silk tile, is
somewhat the more curious and in
teresting from the fact that it has
an American origin. The beaver,
of course, has long been known in
many shapes, some eveu more
hideous than the stove-pipe.
Hamlet’s father, the murdered
Dane, when lie revisited the pale
glimpses of the moon, “had his
beaver up,” though it wnsn’t the
kind of beaver we are familiar
with. Other famous characters
had their beavers; but i* was re
served for our sober, common-
sensed republican, to introduce
the hideous stove-pipe.
At the time of his visit- to France,
the people of that country were
rabidly republican. The sage wore
a hat of impossible classification.
The hatters-were’ struck with it,
called it republican, imitated it,
put copies of it in the windows,
and soon countless "heads in that
hot-bed of insurrection, Palis, were
wearing the “republican” tile.
The tradition of its origin hung
vaguely to it. In the early part
of this century only a republican
head could wear the stove-pipe.
The obsequious adherents of the
effete monarchies of Europe wore
soft hats, and were comfortable
and happy. Men who wanted to
overturn existing institutions, stuck
a stove pipe on their heads as an
advertisement to the world of their
revolutionary ideas. It was as
definite a symbol of republican
ism as the cockade was of impe
rialism in France, or of “nullifi
cation'’ in South Carolina.
By 1840, however, the monarch
ists affected the hard and uncom
fortable stove pipe, and ropubli-
eanism had to hide its head under
the soft slouch hat. In Europe to
day “the apparel,” especially ^the
hat, “oft denotes the man.” A
soft hat upon a politician’s head
at once sets him down as a radical,
or republican, or of socialistic pro
clivities. On the other hand, the
man who boxes up bis aristocratic
brains in a hat as tall, hard and
miserable as a Goth’s iron helmet,
may be safely jotted down down
for an imperialist, monarchist, and
as a believer in Csssarism.
Bradlangb, that broad jind un
compromising radical, aud William
O’Brien, are almost the only mem
bers of the British Parliament that
dare or care to challenge aristo
cratic criticism by wearing soft-
hats. -
The repulsive ugliness and iin-
comfortableuess of the stove-pipe,
and perhaps its almost rigid un
alterableness of- shape, are the
only things that endear it to fash
ion" and serve to perpetuate it.
We can, even if fashionable, be
comfortable in onr clothes were it
not for this"hideous relic the
Quakerism and stern republican-
ism--thongh present symbol of
aristocracy-—the stove-pipe hat.

to make farming as profitable as
they might. They do not study
the methods of- cultivation, and
therefore are not-prepared to "se
lect those which promise the best
results. Instead of improving.their
lands they, go on from year to year
farming worn out lands .that yfeld
a very poor return. They should
bring their lands into a high state
of cultivationby the use of fertil
izers, and they should study the
markets of the country so as to gc
the best prices for their products,
and, also, for the purpose of find
ing out what crops they can raise
with the greatest profit.
The secretary points out tha
the exports of breadstuffs from
this country are falling off, and
that this condition of affairs is ow
ing to the competition from India,
Egypt, Russia, Australia and .oth
er countries. He advises the farm
ers to turn their attention to sneh
agricultural products as are now
imported, and also to raise, to as
great an extent as they can, every
thing they need in their own
households. In this connection
he calls attention to the statement
that §350,000,000 worth or farm
products were imported into this
country last year. Some of these
products, he says, could be pro
duced iu this country in quantities
sufficient to supply the home de
mand; and he thinks that the farm
ers should be protected in produc
ing them.
The secretary’s party dees not
seem to agree with his views. In
the McKinley tariff bill the duty
on rice is reduced and that-on su
gar is repealed up to a certain
grade. In the west and south the
farmers are just now giving a great
deal of attention to sugar. In the
south sugar cane is being planted
more extensively than ever before,
and in the west great preparations
are being made to cultivate the su
gar beet. There are those who
say that if the cultivation of the
sugar beet proves to be successful
enough sugar for home consump
tion will be produced on the farms
of this co an try within a very few
years. A very lage amount of rice
is imported, and yet there are tens
of thousands of acres of rice pro
ducing lands in this and other
states which are mot cultivated at
all.
■ Wliile it is safe to say that the
value of the agricultural products
of the kind-that can be produced is
nowhere near §350,000,000 a year,
nevertheless the annual importa
tions of rice, sugar and molasses
must be close to §100,000,000, and
from sugar and molasses the Re
publican party, contrary to the
suggestion of Secretary Rusk, pro
pose to withdraw the protection
they now have, and to reduce the
duty-on rice. Secretary Rusk:
should send his farmers’ message
to the ways and means committee.
