Atlanta Journal. ;* , T ^ e strength which the Social ists have developed in the conveu- tiou of the American Federation oi oaocr ut Now Orleans is mere ly one of the rising evidences of the growth of socialist principles in this country. The elections held a few weeks ago gav9 a very impressive report on this subject. It now appears that the full returns from these elections will bring the total So- cialist vote up to something like 8o0,000. Of these from 40,000 to 60.000 were given to the Socialist labor party. The rest belong to the Socialist party, which is the outgrowth of the Social Democra cy founded by Eugene V. Debs, in 1900. The New York branch of the party still calls itself the So- cial Democratic party. The Socialist vote increased largely but by no means so nota bly as in some other states. It, increased in Massachusetts no less than 800 per cent, over last year, The Socialist vote was only 6.000 in Pennsylvania in 1900 This year it went considerably over 20,000. In Ohio the Social-! ist vote reached 1,600, an increase! of more than 2t)0 per cent.; Illi nois cast about 25,000 Socialist'! votes against 9,867 two years ago;< Kentucky shows au increase on about 400 per cent.; Iowa 150 t| 200, arid other states a corres-j ponding increase. The growth of Socialism iu this' country undoubtedly is due tj the increase of plutocracy and monopoly. It is a natural result cf the growing belief that great aggregni tions of wealth, powerful corpora]- tions with special privileges! trusts and monopolies have acquir ed a power which is inimical t< the liberties and rights of the peo; pie, and that the government does not restrain these influence! and agencies within proper limij tahions of law. However much we may despise Socialism there is nq escape from this conclusion. Abdul Hamid, Sultan of Tur key, has just celebrated his 60tta birthday. Thirty-four Othmaiis have reigned in Turkey and tlje longest reign was less than fifty years, Solyman I having sat upo’n the throue from 1520 to 1566. Only one Sultan in the nineteen th century, only one in the eigh teenth and only one in the seven teenth ruled longer than Abdul, and most of his predesessora haye been slain or put in chains before their friends were able to wish them many happy returns of their 60bh birthday. 04P As a result of the recent steam ship combination, under the ma nipulation of Mr. Morgan, there is to be a general weeding-out of clerks and minor officials of the Atlantic Transport Company at Baltimore, Prnbably a majority of the clerks will go, and those minor officials retained will find their salaries reduced. That is the way the trusts work. They in crease the cost of living and re duce the number of opportunities for earning a livelihood as well as the earning capacity of the work ers.—Savannah News. *-««• In the middle of the Colorado desert, a little to north of the Mexican border and 264 feet be low the level of the sea, lies a field of crystalized salt more than a thousand acres in extent, pre senting a surface as white as snow, and beneath the noonday glare of the sun so dazzling that the naked eye cannot stand its radiance. If trusts will persist in over capitalization, let taxes be assess ed on the property at the valua tion placed upon it by the trusts. If the property of a trust is worth $1,000,000,000 for bonding and stocking, it ought to be worth $1,000,000,000 for the purpose of taxation.—Indianapolis Sentinel. -00<0- Foils A Deadly Attack. “My wife was so ill that good physicians were unable to help bpr,” writes M.

Changes Election Date. i 1 Atlanta vBii ; The bill providing for a change in the time of holding the state election stipulates “that the time of holding the election for govern or, secretary of state, comptroll er general, scats treasurer, attor ney general, commissioner of agri culture, state school commission er, prison commissioners, mem bers of the general assembly, judges of the supreme and superi or courts, solicitors general and ordinaries, sheriffs, clerks of su perior courts, tax collectors, tax receivers, county treasurers, coun ty surveyors, coroners aud all oth er officers elected on the first Wednesday in October by the peo ple shall be elected on Tuesday before the first Monday in Novem ber of the year in which, under the constitution and laws of this state, elections should be held, to fill offices, begirining on Tuesday after the first Monday iu Novem ber, 1904, and biennially thereaf ter.” In the original bill, pruyiding for a change in the time of meet ing of the legislature, it was sought to have the general assem bly convene on the second Tues day iu January, bub the general judiciary committee unanimously adopted a substitute changing the time to June, and recommended that the bill in that shape be passed. According to the require ments of the bill the* present leg islature will meet again next sum mer instead of the fall of 1908, as it would under the presut law. In the past efforts have been made to oliauge the time for hold ing the sessions of the legislature from the fall to the summer, but up to this time bills looking to that end have failed of passage. ——.——*»► it The Woman’s Christian Tem- perence Union selected Milwaukee as the place for its next national convention. It is probable that a change will have to be made in the arrangements and another city substituted. An investiga tion discloses the fact that con nected with every hall in the Wis consin city there is a booth devot ed to dispensing, the beverage that “made Milwaukee famous.” Aud of course the W. C. T, U. will not hold its convention in auy hall with a bar attachment. —Exchange. The Boston Globe utters these words of wisdom: “Honest busi ness enterprise brings the most happiness in the end. It produces the best type of successful men. Playing with the stock ticker, where it developes one lucky James R Keen brings ruin and misery to thousands of homes. The successful man who has not overreached his neighbors, but has done some good with his mon ey, lives in the memory of the world long after the grasping pos sessor of ill-gotten wealth is for gotten.” CREAM... mmsmm SIGNIFIES THE BEST. is the best product of a New Roller Process Mill, , It is made of the best wheat, for in dividual customers of the mill and | for the trade. » Ask your merchant for JERSEY CREAM |FLOUR, or bring* your wheat to FT.OTXSIEJIR/S!

H. Ruffner thirty years ago. He spoke too early. The world—or at least our part of it—has not yet found it out. —- . <——• — • *•-- Gen. William Booth of the Sal vation Army says that New York and Chicago are the wickedest cities in the world, and they are growing worse and worse. This would seem to bear out the obser vation of Sam Jones, that the bad place is only half a mile from Chicago.

People who have been cured sound the praise of Ubiosol. Mrs. Mary E. Hart well, wife of the treasurer of Los Angel es, Gal., says: “I desire to express my sincere appreciation of your remedy.
