A South Dakota man says he has
lost his "taste for chewing tobacco
since having the grip, although he has
been using the weed since he was six
years old. Another reason, suggests
the Washington Post, for being care
ful to avoid the grip.
Says the New York Tribune: llf
great corporations were as eager and
industrious in obsérving the statutes
in letter and in spirit 4s they often
seem to be in skirting and straining
them there would be little occasion
for these corporations to compjain
that they are being unfairly treated
by juries,
One would like to know whether
there has been any increase in the
death rate from heart disease among
those who come nearest to living “the
simple life”—the men and women on
the farms. If so, observes the Chicago
Tribune, city folks would not better
themselves much is they were to take
the advice the physicians give them
free of charge.
Willlam J. Bryan in his celebrated
lecture on “The Prince of Peace,” ar
gues that brotherhood is the one es
gential mark of a Christian, by which
his faith is to be judged. “Just in
proportion,” he contends, “as men rec
ognize their kinship to each other and
deal with each other in the spirit of
brotherhood will friendship and har
mony be secured, Both employer and
employe need to cultivate the spirit
which follows from obedience to the
great commandment.”
It is a fact that the smoking of cig
arettes is destructive of the health
of women, It affects them nervously
far more than it does men; it creates
a craving for stimulants or narcotics,
It has an extremely bad effect on
morals and on character generally,
And it is to be sincerely regretted
that public recognition of the vice
should have come in this country, It
‘would be interesting to know what
the next step is to be in our journey
toward, emancipation from ordinary
decency,” asserts the New York Jour
nal, .
P e
I It is generally admitted by persons
who have given the subject serious at
tention, avers the Louisville Courler-
Journal, that the business of reserv
ing forests has not been overdone. If
it had been overdone in the west
there would be no reason why we
should stop short and allow the de
struction of the hardwood supply, the
water supply and the floor barrier in
the Appalachians to continue when it
has been definitely shown that the
final results of such a policy would be
disastrous and that each year's delay
is enormously expensive.
A correspondent writes as follows to
the New York Sun: As an illustra
tion of how athletic sports are
spreading some of your readers may
be interested to know that France beat
England last month in a track meet
ing. The Racing club of Fraice sent
a team over and beat Cambridge uni
vergity on its own ground by five
evests to four. This is the first time
either of the great universities has
been licked by i«‘mggy on the cinder
path. An unexpected feature of the
meeting was that the Englishmen won
the short and the Frenchmen the long
distance races.
The frequency with which Popocata
petl is ascended continues to astonish
a respectful world. Just how many
times this feat has been accomplished
in the past we do not undertake to
say. Certainly the achlevement is of
abundant record. If we may trust the
press reports, remarks the New York
Sun, almost any one can run up to
the top of Popocatapelt, take a look
around and then return in the best of
spirits to lunch at Amecameca and
speak contemptuously of “the guides"
who were afraid to follow. At regular
and not too distant intervals we have
read about these triumphs of adven
ture during the last 30 years, and by
a curfous coincidence there is almost
always a heroine, not a hero, in the
tale. :
it is only in novels, claims the Chis
cago News that girls receive propos
als of marriage in a conservatory.
Now that lead pencils are being
made out of potatoes, it probably will
be easler than ever, thinks the Kansas
City Journal, to get into a peck of
trouble by writing indiscreet notes.
Feats of equestrian daring without
which a horse show is incomplete sug
gest to the Providence Tribune that a
great deal of talent is wasted in so
ciety which would be of value in the
circus,
Thinks the Detroit Free Press: We
are being too heavily penalized for
our American manner of life. To in
sure greater fongevlly we must re
turn to simpler conditions, to simpler
tastes—to a life which is simpler in
every particular,
Indiana has even put the lid on the
Ohio river excursion boats, declares
the Bt. Louls Post-Dispatch, but it was
not until there was lawlessness and
crime on them that this was done, It
Is lawlessness that has put a weapon
in the hands of prohibition every
where.
What is needed, pleads the London
Times, today is some treaty laying
down the absolute integrity and neu
trality of Sweden, Norway, Denmark,
Holland and Belgium. To be of any
value it should be a treaty signed, not
by one or two powers in opposition,
perhaps, to the rest of the world, but
by at least the four powers prinecipal
ly interested, England, France, Ger
many and Russia.
No class deserves so well of the
community as the teachers in our pub
lic schools. It is to them that the
great majority of the young men and
women who go out into life owe most,
relatively few being able to command
higher education, affirms the Boston
Post. It is essential that thelr work
should be done with the highest effi
clency and conscientiousness. We
cannot fix too high a standard for
our public schoel teachers.
The writer in one of the magazines
who speaks of the bulk of the Chinese
people as “little, stooped, pinched fig
ures”’—yet a wonderful nation of sur
vivors—surely wears grotesque glass
es or he would have noticed that the
Chinamen are by no means physical
iy feeble, argues the New York
American, The burdens Chinese cool
les bear, the lifting they do, indi
cate no physical decrepitude. Nor are
the well-to-do and rich Chinese small
and decrepit men. If the Chinese were
not such a tough and hardy 'people
there would be less reason for consid
ering seriously the “Yellow Peril.”
Nature is slow to abandon anything
with which she started out. ILet an
organ have lost its original use in
the evolution of a higher species from
a lower and she will find a new use for
it, many new uses c,ontends the New
York Mail. This unvarying fact is il
lustrated in the history of the tail in
fishes, reptiles, birds and animals.
Originally it was a means of locomo
tion, in function corresponding pret
ty closely to the screw propeller of
the ocean steamship. Now it is a
means of sexual attraction, a protec
tion, a caudal whisk, a rudder, a
brake, a fifth hand, a weapon of of
fense, and, as in the dog, a means of
expressing sentiment.
Lord Kelvin, who achieved his
greatest scientific distinction when
he was still Sir Willlam Thomson,
said on the occasion of his 50th an
niversary as a professor of the uni
versity of Glasgow: “I know no more
of electrical or magnetic force, or of
the relation between ether, electricity
and ponderable matter, or of chemi
cal affinity than I Kknew and tried
to teach to my students 50 years ago
in my first session as professor.” Thus
did the man of genuine intellectual
greatness express his sense of humil
ity in the presence of the mysteries
of nature quite as earnestly as Sir
Isaac Newton when he said that he
knew not how he appeared to the
world, but to himself he seemed “to
have been only like a boy playing on
the seashore, and diverting myself
in now and then finding a smoother
pebble or a prettier shell than ordi«
nary, whilst the great ocean of truth
lay all undiscovered before me."

State Treasurer R. E. Park has re

Trust Corporation, receiver for the
defunct Neal Bank, in Atlanta, a
check for $65,502.90, being the bal

that institution. The state treasurer
was paid $125,000 some days ago, and
the court ordered that the balance
be paid within twenty days. Tae de
positors who fought the state’s claims
to a prior lien on the assets of the

Children Working for Prizes.
Since the Cotton Seed Crushers’ As
sociation of Georgia announced the of
fer of SIOO in gold to the school chil
dren of Georgia for the four best com
positions on “The Uses of Cotton Seed
and Its Products,” the department of
agriculture, at the capitol, has been
swamped with childish requests, in
regard to cotton seed, cotton seed meal,
cotton seed hulls and cotton seed oil.
y Commissioner of Agriculture Hudson
and Asistant Commissioner Wright
have answered each of these requests
at once, and furnished all of the in
formation at hand.
The children are limiting their com
positions to 750 words, which are being
turned over to their teachers, each
teacher selecting the three best from
that school, and these are sent to tae
county school commissioner to select
the best one, from the lot, to be sent
to the state judges, soon to be an
nounced. *
These judges will award SSO for the!
best composition; $25 for the second;
sls for the third, and $lO for the
fourth.
Thae children are taking up the vari.
ous uses of the cotton seed products,
some writing on its as a fertilizer filler,
others tell of its use as a cattle feed,
others of cotton seed oil as a cooking
substitute for lard and still others as
a treatment and cure for consumption,
LEGISLATIVE PROGRAM
Decided Upon by President Roosevelt,
Which Will Be Put Squarely
Up to Congress.
President Roosevelt has determined
on a legislative program, the enact
ment of which will be urged upon con
gress in a special message. Each ot
the measures to be proposed involves
perplexing difficulties, and each will
have farreaching effect on the busi
ness and economic conditions of the
country,
The program is the product of im
pertant conferences through which the
president has been put in possession
of tho ciews of all interests concerned.
Likewise, the attitude of the leaders
in both branches of congress has been
made known. Its success depends or:
the combined effort which he believes
can be brought to bear in behalf of
the whole plan by those accepted, es
pecially by some of its features.
The program inecludes: A declara
tion in favor of a revision of the tariff
in a special session to be held after
March 4, 1909; an amendment to the
Sherman anti-trust law so as to make
important concessions to combinations
of both labor and capital; limiting the
powers of certain courts in the use of
the injunction in labor disputes; pass
age of an employers’ liability bill;
passage of the Aldrich financial bill.
The support of the busives and
financial interests of the middle west
was pledged 'to the president on thig
program following an extended confer
ence held at the white house Friday
night. A most satisfactory conference
was held at the president’s offices Sat
urday with leaders of the two houses
of congress.

The people between Valdosta, Ga.,
and White Springs are greatly excit

in that section of two big elephants,
which escaped Wednesday night from
the Van Amberg saows at Live Oak,

It is reported that they did considera
ble damage to the farms and truck
patches in their line of march, smasa

At one time the <iephants were sur
rounded by farmers nine miles from
Genoa, Fla., and were fired upon. The
animals became frightened and dashed
