The Weather.
The Indications for Georgia and

showers, with fresh east winds.
It is clear that Bishop Potter can
never become Secretary of War, since
he might take steps to re-establish the
canteen.
It is to be hoped that the backbone
of the rainy spell has been broken, for
the benefit of both the farmers and the
baseball cranks.
Gov. LaFollette announces that the
Republican factional war in Wisconsin
is going to be “carried to the bitter
end.” The bitterer it is for the Repub
licans the sweeter it will be for the
Democrats.
Some Filipinos, including Igorrotes,
have gone to Washington to see the
President. The Igorrote native costume
consists chiefly of a grin, and the fa
vorite dish of the tribe Is boiled dog.
Maybe the President will invite them
to stay to lunch with him.
The war between Russia and Japan
began Feb. 8. 1904. It has, therefore,
continued now six months. Dur
ing this time it is calculated that not
less than 90,000 men have died in bat
tle or of disease. A London military
expert estimates that 300,000 lives will
be sacrifled before peace is declared.
President Roosevelt has come to rec
ognize that crimes o( violence against
women deserve to be swiftly and ter
ribly punished. In refusing to com
mute the sentence of a negro under
conviction for criminal assault in the
District of Columbia, he Bays: “The
crime in question is one to the exist
ence of which we owe the spirit of
lawlessness which has taken the form
of lynching. It is essential that pun
ishment be as certain and as swift ns
possible.”
We referred a day or two ago to the
fact that a New York astrologer had
cast horoscopes for Judge Parker and
Mr. Davis and announced that they
would certainly be elected. But now
comes the "divine heajer," Schlatter, at
Ashtabula, 0., and asserts that he has
had a divine revelation to the effect
that Roosevelt will be elected by th“
largest majority ever given a pre*<-
dentlal candidate. So It seems that
with the astrologers and divine heal
ers divided with respect to their pre
dictions, we shell have to let the voters
go ahead and decide the thing in the
•id-fashioned way At the ballot bog.
COMMISSIONER WRIGHT’S FIGURES.
It would naturally be supposed that
a government official whose duty it is
to collect information for the public
would try to make his reports as near
correct as possible. If a statement put
out by the Democratic Congressional
Committee is correct, and we have no
reason to doubt that it is, Mr. Carroll
Wright, United States Labor Commis
sioner, has been using his office for
the benefit of the Republican party.
Recently he published a statement
on "Wages and the Cost of Living," in
which he made it appear that the cost
of living in 1903 was 10.3 per cent, high
er than the average cost for the ten
years front 1890 to 1899, and that week
ly wages were 12.3 per cent, higher in
1903 than the average for the ten years
from 1890 to 1099.
It appears from these figures that
the purchasing power of wages was
considerably greater in 1903 than the
average purchasing power of wages
from 1890 to 1899. The purpose of Com
missioner Wright is plain. It is to show
that the country is in a more prosper
ous condition under Mr. Roosevelt’s
administration than it had been for
many years previously. Of course if
the people can be made to believe the
country is more prosperous with Mr.
Roosevelt as President than it had
been for many years under other Pres
idents, their inclination would be to
keep him in the White House.
It seems that the chairman of the
Democratic Congressional Committee
has had a thorough investigation of
this subject of wages and the cost of
living made and has found sufficient
facts to Justify him in saying that
Commissioner Wright juggled with the
figures in making up his report. The
charge is made that instead of con
fining himself to wholesale prices of
food products—prices which are stable
—he took for comparison prices of re
tailers which are very unstable, and
differ widely in different localities. This
he had never done in previous reports.
And it is charged that he wouldn’t
have done it in making up the report
under consideration if it had not offer
ed the opportunity of securing the re
sult he wanted. It can readily be seen
that he could obtain prices for compar
ison in certain localities in which the
percentage of profit was much greater
in some years than in others.
It is an easy matter to prove about
anything you want with figures. All
that is necessary is to start with fig
ures in harmony with the result de
sired.
If )t were true that the country was
in the prosperous condition represented
by Commissioner Wright there wouldn’t
be so many men out of employment as
there are. It is estimated that the
number approaches 600,000. For sev
eral months the railroads have been
discharging men—not those engag
ed in the operating departments,
as a rule, but those employed in mak
ing improvements. Since there has
been a falling off in business the roads
find they are unable to continue the
extensive betterments they had plan
ned. And there are thousands out of
employment on account of strikes.
The strikes are of course due to ef
forts to reduce wages or to some other
reason showing the Country isn't so
prosperous as it was a year or so ago.
Mr. Shaw, the Secretary of the Treas
ury, has been using Commissioner
Wright's figures in his campaign
speeches, and no doubt it is the pur
pose of other Republican spellbinders
to use them. It seems a fair conclusion
therefore that they were intended for
campaign purposes.
If It be a fact that they are erroneous
and are easily shown to be, and, as as
serted by the chairman of the Demo
cratic Congressional Committee, were
obtained from sources known to be
unreliable, Congress ought to take no
tice of the matter as soon a. it assem
bles. It is a great outrage on the peo
ple to have the public money used for
campaign purposes and public officials
made to do campaign work for the
party In power.

OBSERVING THE SABBATH.
The recent action of the Ministerial
Association looking toward the estab
lishment of an inviolate Sabbath has
aroused considerable discussion. The
principal issue seems to be the deter
mination of Just what are the purposes
of the Sabbath, whether it is a pure
ly religious Institution or whether it
is not rrtainly humanitarian.
Undoubtedly the establishment of a
SablAith by Moses was at first pure
ly religious, the setting aside of a day
for worship. As civilization advanced,
however, the principal was recogniz
ed that the end of all law wtis the
betterment of humanity. In the moral
and civil realm, only those laws sur
vived whose effects were uplifting and
enlightening. Time produced Its in
evitable changes In them, hut the un
derlying principles remained the same.
Man was quick to recognize the ad
vantages resulting from observing one
day of rest In every seven. Through
it he was bettered, not only morally
and spiritually, but physically and
mentally. Therefore, society held to
the Sabbath, preserving it through the
religious element.
As man progressed the principle of
“a day of rest." was pushed into the
foreground and the purely religious ob
servance of the tfay modified. Rest
is recreation and the best recreation
results from a complete change of en
vironment, a transplanting of the mind
from every day scenes and thoughts
to the new and unaccustomed. Asa
result, the villnge beadle no longer
drives each citizen to the churches
every Habbath morning. The individ
ual is supreme and so long as he does
not interfere with others, he observes
the day as he may choose.
It Is on this principle that the Thun
derbolt management bases its argu
ment for not closing Its attrsctlons on
the Sabbath. They point out that In
nocent arnußement is rest ‘and recrea
tion. They call attention to the fact
that Sunday is the one day on which
the working classes and their families
ran enjoy these pleasures, snd thst
these classes are the ones most in need
of the benefits of recreation (and real.
On these grounds they claim that pub
lic sentiment, looking toward human
ity’s best Interests, will sustain them
In'their violation of the state law.
To this seemingly plausible argument
SAVANNAH MORNING NEWS: TUESDAY. AUGUST 9. 1904.
the opposition replies by claiming that
gain alone actuates the management
and that the mere visiting of the cool
resort and the listening to the sacred
concerts would be equally, if not more
beneficial to all classes, and would not
be the entering wedge to the destruc
tion of the Sabbath. They also ad
vance the somewhat doubtful argument
that a strict Sabbath observance w’ould
lead to a demand from the working
classes for more week-day holidays, if
only on Saturday afternoons, and that
the result would be shorter working
hours and new opportunities for en
joying these and similar amusements.
There is no doubt of course that
amusements, such as those at Thun
derbolt, tend to keep children away
from the Sunday-school and lessen at
tendance at the churches in the even
ings, and in proportion as people re
main away from places of worship re
gard for Sunday declines.

IF MISS BREWER HAD BEEN
THERE.
It is a good thing probably that the
Savannah Electric Company did not
have Miss Emilie Brewer of Pittsfield,
Mass., the sister of Justice David J.
Brewer of the United States Supreme
Court, to deal with on the occasion
of its attempt to lay its tracks on
Gwinnett street; otherwise it might
have abandoned that street for an
other, instead of waiting all summer
for a decision of the courts.
The New England Telephone Com
pany attempted to plant a big tele
phone pole in front of the Brewer
homestead last Friday, a big. unsightly
pole, like those poles which disfigure
so many of the streets of this city.
Miss Brewer didn't want the pole in
front of her home any more than the
residents of Gwinnett street want a
street railway in front of their homes,
but she didn’t appeal to the courts.
She didn’t hire a lawyer to get out
an injunction against the telephone
company. She knew that such a course
would be attended with delay. She
knew a better way to check the com
pany and she adopted it. She camped
over the hole the company’s employes
had dug for the pole, and announced
her purpose to remain in camp all
summer.
The employes of the company had
dug a hole of considerable depth and
struck rock, notwithstanding the fact
that Miss Brewer had told them they
■couldn't erect a pole in that particular
place. They went for blasting tools.
When they returned they found Miss
Brewer seated in a big chair over the
hole. And she wouldn't move. The
men protested, but she didn't mind
their protest. Then they went for the
selectman who had granted the com
pany the permit to erect the pole, but
Miss Brewer simply defied him, and
the deputy sheriff who accompanied
him.
Miss Brewer took her meals in the
chair, and at night, had erected over
the hole a tent, which she occupied.
The town authorities and the tele
phone company seeing they had a very
determined woman to deal with, decid
ed upon another location for the pole,
and thus Miss Brewer won a notable
victory.
Now if the residents of Gwinnett
street had adopted Miss Brewer's tac
tics as soon as they discovered the
track layers—if they had carried their
beds into the middle of the street and
occupied them—how would the work
men of the street railway company
have been able to go on with their
work?
Wouldn't the railway company have
been forced to get permission to lay
its tracks in another street, if it want
ed to complete its connection with the
Thunderbolt section of its line? Of
course, it would. No midnight order
of the City Council to its marshal
would have been respected by the
Gwdnnett street campers—that is, if
they possessed the same sort of cour
age Miss Brewer did. The street rail
way company would have seen the im
possibility and impropriety of making
headway against such opposition, just
as the Pittsfield authorities did when
they encountered Miss Brewer.
And the Gwinnett street residents,
besides furnishing a sensational item
for the newspapers, and picturesque
pictures for the illustrated periodicals,
would have enjoyed a limitless notori
ety. Fortunately for the street rail
way company, but few have such re
sourcefulness and courage as the New
England spinster.
A cold-<blooded scheme for preventing
automobiles from exceeding the speed
limit Is to be put into effect at Mish
waka, Ind. The town has a single
street of asphalt several miles long,
which is a favorite speedway for tour
ists. The office of the chief of police
is In the center of this stretch. In
front of the office a groove will be
cut In the paving, and in this will
be set a long knife blade extending the
width of the street. A lever In the po
lice station will raise this knife about
two inches above the level of the pave
ment whenever word is given that a
scorcher is approaching and refuses to
stop. The blade is sharp and will cut
all four tires on the car and render
the machine helpless. What may hap
pen to the occujiants of the car by the
sudden severance and deflation of the
tires seems not to have entered into
the calculation. They may be thrown
out and killed, but the police will have
the satisfaction of having stopped the
vehicle and ruined about slo<l worth
of tires. A cheaper and equally ef
fective plan would scent to ibe to use
a double-barrel shotgun loaded with
slugs.
Among the most pungent adverse
criticisms of the "Doxology bar” in
New York, dedicated the other day by
Bishop Potter, are those passed by sa
loon men. ' Why In the devil's name did
the Bishop want to go Into that sa
loon?" exclaimed a saloon keeper the
other day. "He ain't doing any good
by that. He can't help the cause of
temperance that nay. Priests, bishops
snd ministers ought to stay away from
saloons. I,et 'em preach against sa
loons If they want to. When they go
Into them they lead lota of weak ones
with them.” Meanwhile Ihe “Doxol
ogy bar” ja doing a flourishing bust

The terrible wreck on the Missouri
Pacific road near Pueblo was due to
the washing out of a trestle. The tres
tle was situated where heavy rains
and cloudbursts are not of infrequent
occurrence, and it seems that all pos
sible precautions to guard against a
wash-out at that point could not have
been taken. A mistake that is made
by a great many of the railroad com
missions is that they pay too little at
tention to the physical condition of
roads and too much to efforts to cut
down the roads’ earning powers. What
is needed is to permit the roads to earn
a fair income on their investments and
in the meantime require them to bring
their roadbeds, bridges, trestles and
rolling stock up to a high standard, for
the protection of the lives and limbs of
their passengers.
Commenting on the wonders of sci
ence, a Chicago paper observes that
a Mississippi scientist has discovered
that cotton seed can be turned into a
perfect substitute for meat. Daniel
J. Sully ought to be informed of this
at once. A man in New Jersey claims
to be able to make cloth resembling
silk from stone, which should give an
upward turn to the prices of New Eng
land farms. And last, but not least,
a Chicago optician has declared that
the drink habit can be cured by the
use of eye glasses. When in Chicago,
if you chance to see a crowd dragging
a struggling man at the end of a rope,
don’t imagine that a lynching is under
way. It may be merely the friends of
a drink victim carrying him to the op
tician.
The "chappies” of London and New
York are immensely interested in the
newest style in trousers inaugurated
by King Edward. The King appeared
the other day having his trousers
pressed “with two sets of creases ar
ranged diagonally, so that the trous
ers hung absolutely square.” A society
woman is credited with having observ
ed that the new gtyle of creasing was
a "fine thing to hide bandy legs.”
Meanwhile, in all probability all of
London swelldom, and the New York
apes of London styles, will be wearing
square-creased trousers.
It seems that the Republic of Pan
ama has gone into the mortgage loan
business in New York city. Of the
$10,000,000 paid Panama by the United
Stqtes, a fund of $6,000,000 has been set
aside by Panama for investment in
mortgages on Manhattan property, a
rate of some 4% per cent, interest be
ing charged on loans. Doubtless the
Panamans concluded that the funds
would be safer If invested in New
York than if carried to the isthmus.
But did ever so young a republic here
tofore start on its career with so hand
some an endowment fund?
President Roosevelt is constantly be
coming a greater man. It is said he
now weighs 208 pounds.

CURRENT COMMENT.
The Mobile Register (Dem.) says:
“The Democrats will fuse with the
Populists in Nebraska, as has been
the practice for a number of years.
It was hoped that the two parties
there would go it alone, as they have
very little in common, but it does not
much matter what they do. Nebraska
is regarded as hopelessly Republican.”
The New York World (Dem.) says:
"If President Roosevelt keeps on be
ing prudent and quiet and polite the
people will hardly recognize him as
the erstwhile Rough Rider. He has
forestalled further criticism of the or
der placing the amateur soldier of
fortune, Gen. Funston, for whom he
naturally has a fellow-feeling, in com
mand of the Department of the East
and given this coveted post to the son
of Gen. Grant.”
The New' York Post (Ind.) says:
“Alton B. Parker's resignation of the
highest judicial position in the state
is characteristically fine. He declined
to yield to the wishes of those of his
fellow judges who believed that he
could properly and legally retain his
office until the election, and urged hint
lo do so that the state might not lose
his valuable services. Moreover, he
chose to resign before Aug. 8. there
by laying down his office for all time.
Had he vacated his position after that
date, he could have become a candi
date to succeed himself next autumn
in the event of his defeat In the fall.
This Is merely fresh proof that with
Mr. Parker office-getting is entirely
subsidiary to considerations of (fowl
taste. cot)ruge, and straightforward
ness.”
The Philadelphia Record (Dem.)
says: "Republicans would be thank
ful If they were half s sure of car
rying the congressional election as
they pretend to be. Congressional
elections are more representative of
piihlh sentiment than presidential,
and. therefore. Democratic chances are
far better In congressional than In
presidential elections. In 1888 Presi
dent Cleveland was defeated, though
he got more popular votes than Mr.
Ilsrtlson did. Hut Ihe complexion of
the House Is pretty certain to t>* that
of the country. Democrats carried
the congressional elections In 1874, 187*.
1178. I*B2, I*B4 I*B6. 18911 snd 1892. He.
piililltans carried the elsctlons from
1894 to 1902 only be< suse Ihe Demo
cratic party has been divided In these
later years on Ihe coinage Issue, but
it is divided he longer,”
A Chinese Fanny Story.
Here is a typical example of a Chi
nese funny story, says the Chicago
News. A passenger boat full of peo
ple was on the point of pushing off
from the shore when a man came run
ning up in hot haste and asked to be
taken on board. “There’s no room; we
can't take you,” answered the boat
mar. But he was not to be put off so
easily. "If you will let me come,” he
cried, “I will tell you a tale.” The
passengers began to discuss the situa
tion. "We have nothing 'to do.” they
said to each ether, “and it's very tedi
ous. If he were to tell us a story it
would while away the time.” Accord
ingly (regulations as to the number
of passengers being by no means strict
in the flowery land) the applicant was
allowed to come on board. The pas
sengers squeezed closer and so man
aged to make room for him, proving
the truth of the German adage, “Many
patient sheep go into a small fold.”
After giving the newcomer a little
breathing time they asked for the
promised story. Without hesitation he
began: “Ch’ao Ch’ao once led 830,000
men (infantry and cavalry) to the
south of the Yang-tze.” Ch’ao Ch’ao
was a famous Chinese general who
lived in the time of the Han dynasty,
about the beginning of the Christian
era and whose deeds of prowess are
still related with great gusto among
his fellow countrymen. “On their
way,” went on the story-teller, “they
had to cross a river by a bridge which
consisted of a single piank. They
crossed over one by one.” Here the
narrator began to make noises which
were supposed to represent the tramp
ling of the steeds; “Teh-teh-teh.”
This went on till his audience grew
rather tired of it. At last someone
said: “Please go on with the story.”
“You must wait for the mto cross the
bridge,” was the answer. "When 830,-
000 men and horses have to cross a
one-plank bridge it won't do to hurry
them; they must be careful or they
might fall into the water,” and he
calmly resumed his “teh-teh-teh.”
Again his audience pleaded for a con
tinuation of the story, but again he de
clined to be hurried. "They can’t
cross the bridge in a short time,” he
said, “they must go slowly and care
fully.” So he went on with his “teh
teh-teh” and, however much, he was
urged, he would say nothing else. So
the boat reached its destination and
the story was never finished because
Ch’ao Ch’ao’s army had not yet had
time to cross the bridge.
His Only Hope, .
The lone bandit who had held up and
robbed a train was in a sorry plight,
says the Chicago Times-Herald. His
clothes were torn, his legs and feet
were bleeding, his lips were white and
cracked, his cheeks were hollow and
his eyes were glassy. Leaning against
a tree, he listened. Far away he could
hear the hoarse shouts of men and the
haying of hounds.
He tried to wet his dry lips with his
tongue and an awful look of horror
spread over his face.
“Some, come,” he said in tones that
seemed to stick in his parched throat,
“I must not stand here. They have
found the trail again. I must go on.
I must not let them catch me now. If
I can only struggle on six miles far
ther I will be at the State Capitol.
There I can take out Incorporation
papers, and, having organized myself
as a trust, It will take them years to
get at me.”
A Tragedy.
The screams which were issuing from
the little house were truly heartrend
ing, says a writer in Answers. It
seemed that a terrible tragedy must
be in progress, and an anxious little
knot of people gathered in front of tbe
house, and wondered why the others
had not sufficient courage to enter and
rescue the victim.
At last an unconcerned youth came
out of the front door, whistling, and
one of the spectators buttonholed him.
"What’s going on in your house?”
he asked. “What's the meaning of
those fearful screams?”
"Eh?” said the youth. “Oh”—as a
marrow-freezing wall floated down—
“oh, that's Willie! You see, while he
was playing in the pantry this morn
ing he knocked the Jas of black treacle
off the shelf onto his head, and now
mother's combing his hair—that's all!”
“The Limit” of u Meagre Meal.
A number of actors were discussing
recently the different boarding houses
in a Western city, says Harper's Week
ly, and the comparative meagerness of
the table board provided by the vari
ous landladies. One of the party who
had listened quietly to the talk now
spoke up:
"It any of you fellows really want
to put yourself on a rigid diet go to
Mrs. 's boarding house in Cincin
nati. I came down to breakfast there
one morning, and the servant waltzed
up and asked me if I’d have ham or
eggs. I said I didn’t want to be
grasping, and ordered the yolk of an
egg—said I'd have the white of it for
lunch.”
The Kong of the Common People.
From Success.
We are the comomn people, the
of wood and stone,
The dwellers In common places,
mighty of brawn and bone,
Bearing the common burden that only
the shirkers shun.
And doing the common duty that oth
ers have left undone.
Dubbed, by the few, plebeian, rabble
or proletalre,
Ours is the hand that feeds them, ours
is the prize they share,
And ours is the common blessing, free
to the toilers all.
To win from the lowly valley unto the
summits tall.
Common, and only common,—
This by the might of birth, —
Yet the world in its need leans on us—
We are the kings of the earth.
We are the common people, and ours
is the common clay
That a God deemed fit for using, when,
in that olden day.
He took the dust of the Garden, the
dust that His will obeyed.
Fashioned and formed and shaped It,
and man in His image made;
And, seeing that God selected such
clay for Ihe human test,
And deeming His wisdom suffices to
choose but the surely best,
We, who are common people and made
of the common clay,
Leave to the proud uncommon to im
prove on the Maker's way.
Common, and only common, —
Tattered, sometimes, and frayed,—
We still are content with the pattern
That God in His wisdom made.
We are the common people, yet out of
our might Is wrought,
Ever, by God’s own flat, masters of
mighty thought.
Men of that grand republic whose rul
ers walk alone,
Piercing the future shadows, knowing
what seers have known;
And, measured by these, the unco' are
petty and wee and small.
Playing with gilded baubles, chatter
ing. veluble all;
And these, our sons, surpass them as
the hills o'ertop the glen.
For their great hearts throb to the
world's long sob; and they are
the saviours of men.
Common, and only common.
Hopelessly commonplace,
Yet out of our loins still Issue
The saviours of the race.
Alfred J. Waterhouse,
Rheumatism
What is the use of telling the rheumatic
that he feels as if his joints were being dis
located?
He knows that his sufferings are very
much like the tortures of the rack.
What ht wanU to know is what will per
manently cure bis disease.
That, according to thousands of grateful
testimonials, is
Hood's Sarsaparilla
It promptly neutralizes the acid In the
blood on which the disease depends, com
pletely eliminates it, and strengthens the
system against its return. Try Hood’s.
