Tired of Colonialism and Trustism. Boston Host. According to all historical prece dent, the elections this fall should return a House of Representatives hostile to the administration! If we look a little further ahead, we shall see that. according to prece dent the “accidental” occupant of the White House must fail of re- election, even if he succeeds in cap turing the nomination of his party. But that is some distance in the fu ture, even if it does seem pretty close at hand to Hr. Roosevelt; and what we are concerned with just u ow is the political color of the new con gress to be chosen in November next. We look for a change in this respect, not only because experience shows that a change usually oomes in the middle of an administration, but because everything tends and has been tending for a long time to ward a great popular revolt against the domestic and colonial policies of the present regime. The people have gone'as far as they want to go along the lines of imperialism; too far, in faot, for either their con sciences or their purses. And as for industry and the profits of industry, the people are waking up to the need of a curb upon the favoritism of the trusts. The popular view of the rela tion of the blood to human char acter and conduct is marked in many a familiar expression. We speak of there being “bad blood” between pe'ople at enmity, of “blueblood” as indicating ances try, of “black blood” as describ ing a treacherous nature, and in many another phrase mark our belief that in the mental, moral and physical man, “the blood is the life.” The one basis of healthful, happy and useful life is pure blood. With the blood pure, disease has no permanent lodging place in the system. For this reason the use of Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery * rids the body of diseases wlii’ch have their origin in impurity of the blood. It absolutely purifies the blood, carrying off the waste and poisonous matter, increasing the action of the blood making glands and building up the body by sup plying the blood in quantity and quality such as is essential to a condition of health. It cures ninety-eight people out of every hundred who give it a fair trial. Education in Georgia. A Genuine Anti-Imp ©rialist. A GOOD PLACE.

Ili Brittain in Atlanta Constitution. * ‘Let US organize our forces and work for the uplifting and ad vancement of .our children, Since the laws under which we are com pelled to work are hopelessly in adequate for removing the curse ignorance let us have them changed so that the Empire State of the South may be lifted from the low rank educationally she has had for years in the sister hood of the states on account of the illiteracy of so many of her people. She has made improve ment—third from the bottom of list some years ago —she now holds the fifth place, but with forty- five or more above her there is much work ahead. If the consti tution of the state is at fault and stands in the way, blocking edu cational progress, surely the legis lature will provide a remedy for the situation. I do not believe we can ever go much further in the way of direct state appropriation nor does it seem to be thp wisest plan. Let the law be changed so as to encourage by every possible meaos the counties to meet the state half way. If the vote upon on school extension could be fair ly and squarely upon the question at issue, without any such provision as requiring two- thirds of the registered voters, it would mean much for this cause In his last annual message the governor made a recommenda tion that no county should receive any part of the state appropria tion until it should have raised at least 40 per cent of the amount to which under the present law it is entitled. It seems to me that it would be better to modify the ironclad restrictions in the way of local taxation, make it less diffi. cult for the counties to secure this blessing and thus induce rather than threaten in order to gain the end desiredj But it matters littl as to methods; the duty that fac es us is to provide at least nice months’ schooling every year for our children, “Of course we must go back to the power that creates the legisla tire. If we fail to realize the responsibility and to do all we can toward making the people see the necessity for increased school facilities we are not doing our du ty. The great majority of our fellow-citizens in the rural dis tricts would like to do as they did before the war and it is difficult to make them see that the busy world has moved on—that the most prosperous states, toivns, cities and in many instances, counties—look with a feeling of half pity and half contempt upon the community that is satisfied with an ungraded, unfurnished school for four or five months in every year. The southern educa tional board publish figures show ing the progress in the United States during the last hundred years. In 1800 there was an aver- erage of eighty-two days for each person; in 1860 480 diiys ; in 1900 998 days. If we separate the eleven southern states from their sisters their average for 1900 is 438 days. Thus we see that in educational advantages the south just where the whole country Savannah News - There can be no doubt about the genuineness of the anti-im- i peralism of Mr. Andrew Carnegie..

Spain if he were permitted to say- -to the Phil- ipinos that it was our ^purpose, to establish a government for them on a stable basis and then give them their independence. According to a conversation with Mr. George F.

Our people are conservative, hard to move from long accepted notions, but the duty devolves upon our educa tional leaders to arouse them to the true situation or their chil dren as compared with those of other sections. ing the Phillippine islands as a permanent possession. He said to Mil McKinley that he believed that policy would be had for this country and bad for the Filipinos, and that soon after the ratifioa tion of the treaty our people and the Filipinos would be at war with each other. So deeply did he feel about the matter that, for the privilege of being sen ib as a com missioner to the IPhillippiiies, with authority to say to the little brown men that th© Americans meant them only goeol, and would soon recognize their independ ence, he would pay out of his own pocket the $20,000,000 to 1 Spain for which the treaty of Par is provided; and it seems that Mr. Carnegie is still willing to pay that sum for the independence of the Filipinos. No doubt President McKinley was impressed by Mr. Carnegie’s earnestness, but he cLid not think Mr. Carnegie understood the ques tion at issue, and hence did not give his offer favorable considera,- tion. Mr. Carnegie saw then that the permanent possession of the Phillippines would be dangerous to our institution and. harmful to Filipinos. Ho took- no stock in President McKinley’s theory of “benevolent assimilation.” The war that ho feared came, and it is not ended yet. . The evils of our institution from the possession of the islands have not become apparent, but there is 110 good rea son to doubt that they will make their appearance. It is not too late to ohange our policy. The Democrats of the Senate are doing wlnat they can to have it changed. The Demo crats of the House did what they could when the Phillippine bill was before that body - Indeed the entire Democratic party is against the Phillippine policy of the Re publican party. Mr. Carnegie is a Republican, but be is not with his party in its policy for dealing with the Phillippines. He stands with Senator Hoar on that ques tion, and many other eminent Republicans. The Republican Press Is trying t(i*make it appear that the Democrats in Congress are simply seeking to make, capi tal for the Congressional elections, but such is not the case. The Democrats are doing what they believe is for the be3t interests of the country and time will show they are Semi yonr order and write ior DescirSpsive Circular of Wanes and Brandies.
