A!* EXPRESS 1051 OP SATISFACTION,
OR WHATt
What did the President mean by
asking in his speech at Indianapolis
on Friday, "What's the matter* w'ith
Missouri?” Did he mean that ne was
particularly gratified by the fact that
he carried that state in the recent
election, a state that had been classed
as a part of the solid South, or did
he wish to be understood that be had
come to the conclusion that If his party
let the South alone, let her handle the
race problem In her own way, there
would be a gradual acceptance of Re
publican doctrines by the Southern
people and a breaking up of the solid
South?
It is not believed that he yielded to
the importunities of some of the Re
publican leaders and has rec
ommended in his annual mes
sage that Southern representa
tion in Congress be reduced be
cause of the withdrawal of the ballot
from the negro, and it may be that
his question relative to Missouri, in
his Indianapolis speech, means that he
thinks it would be the wiser course
for the Republican party not to at
tempt any legislation in connection
with the race problem.
The inference that his question rela
tive to Missouri referred to the race
problem seems of course to be rather
far fetched, but there is no telling
what is running through the mind of
a man like Mr. Roosevelt. He is much
more likely to do that which is out
of the ordinary than, that which most
other men would do. Hence, while
there is no doubt that the fact that
he carried Missouri by a good sized
majority is a great source of satisfac
tion to him, he may be nursing the
idea that his party would stand a
much better chance for getting a per
manent foothold in the South by letting
the Southern people deal with the ne
gro question in the way that seems
best to them.
As to whether or not the President
had anything of that kind in his mind
will no doubt crop out soon after the
meeting of Congress. The leaders of
his party would hardly take an im
portant step like cutting down South
ern representation without his ap
proval. Indeed, in view of the tre
mendous majority by which he was
elected, they are not likely to take
any important step that hasn't his ap
proval. Hence it is practically certain
that if no strongly supported move
ment to restrlot Southern representa
tion takes place it can be accepted
as pretty certain that such a move
ment wouldn't be in harmony with the
policy of his administration.
THE BAPTISTS OF GEORGIA.
The Georgia Baptist Convention, in
session at Columbus during four
days of the past week, made a show
ing of church extension and religious
progress that must be gratifying to
every adherent of the faith. Increas
ed amounts of money were subscribed
for mission work, for education and
for charity. All of the reports sub
mitted to the central body showed the
church to be in a flourishing and vig
orous condition. The membership is
steadily growing, the Held of endeavor
is broadening and the enthusiasm of
the workers was never greater. The
outlook for the ensuing year, there
fore, is encouraging, and the Georgia
Baptists will enter upon the twelve
months’ work with confidence and in
the determination to make the next
year even better than the last one
was.
Statistics gathered by the census
bureau show that the Baptist denomi
nation is one of the most virile of all
of the religious denominations in the
country; and especially Is this true in
the South, where. It may properly be
claimed, there Is a greater degree of
freedom of religious thought than in
any other part of the country. It is
not meant to be suggested, of course,
that freedom of religious thought is
hampered In any section, but where
the flood of immigration pours In
greatest and the Immigrants bring
with them hard-and-fast religious
opinions fostered by government-es
tablished churches in Europe, natur
ally there Is a relatively smaller fruc
tification of that liberal spirit and
personal appeal which characterize
the great evangelical churches of the
South. The strength and influence of
the Baptist Church in this section of
the country, and in this state, are not
to be estimated by mere figures of
property owned or communicants. The
Influence of the church is far wider
than its actual membership; and it is
always exercised in the direction of
an uplifting of the race; for better
homes, better people and better gov
ernment. It Is one of the greatest of
the great moral forces continually
making for the advancement of man
kind and the establishing of fraternity
and affection throughout the earth.
R A VANN AHI ANS COMMENDED.
A Northern business man who has
been In Savannah for some days and
has come Into contact with probably
a representative class of commercial
and professional men of the city in
the course of his business, said a day
or two ago: ”1 have been struck by
the absence of profane language
swearing—among your people. •In
some cities that I have visited swear
ing in common conversation seems to
be a habit if not a characteristic. But
in the business houses and hotels of
Savannah, and at the nearby resorts,
I have heard so few swear words that
the sound of one proved almost start
ling. This, mind you, has been among
men, with no ladies present. One
wouldn’t of course, expect to hear pro
fanity in the presence of ladies, es
pecially in the South; but It has struck
me as rather remarkable end alto
gether commendable to And the con
versations of men, among themselves
and lacking artificial restraint, to be
generally so clown and free from any
thing the least objectionable that It
might be repeated In any company.”
Like drinking, swearing la falling Into
disrepute. A hundred years ago, ac
cording to the veracious chronicles, a
gentleman was expected to drink and
swear, or be a marked exception to
the rule. Hut thing* are different now.
and tawipsrsnce, both in habits and
language, has become the rule rather
than the eaoeptMU among gentlemen.
SAVANNAH MORNING NEWS: SUNDAY. NOVEMBER 27. 1904.
There are, to be sure, some callow
youths, who Imagine it makes them
mannish, that swear in public places
and common conversation. But we be
lieve it to be true that the men, of
position and self-respect, who swear
In common conversation are few in
number and that the number is grad
ually growing smaller.
TOO MICH FIRNITUHE.
Rev. Charles Wagner, author of the
“Simple Life," who Is in this coun
try to tell us that if we lived more
rationally we should be happier, makes
a strong point against the furnishings
in modem homes. He says, and truly,
that the majority of homes of well
to-do people are marred by the fur
niture in them, whereas they should be
ornamented. In the first place, there
is altogether too much furniture, and
most of it is in shockingly bad taste.
Instead of limiting themselves to ar
ticles that are needed, most persons
who can afford to do so fill their rooms
to the point of overflowing with chairs,
tables, stools, divans, what-nots, has
socks and whatever else the dealer has
to offer. The consequence is that the
room is stuffy, crammed, cramped and
oftener than not ill smelling. For even
a teetotaler to successfully navigate
such a room is a feat.
The owner of the room imagines that
volume of possessions in the shape of
furniture is a marker of elegance, in
dependence and good taste. Parson
Wagner takes just the opposite view.
He says a cluttered-up, stuffy room,
filled with all manner of things that
are useless, is a sure sign of a lack
of mental poise or good taste, or both.
A few pieces of furniture, of the kinds
that are needed, accompanied with
scrupulous cleanliness and good ven
tilation, he holds, Is a much prettier
fitting for a room than a riot of veneers
and reps and chenilles and vases and
jardinieres filling every nook that of
fers space, and accumulating dust day
after day.
People who get the most out of life,
Parson Wagner tells us, are those who
carry the least possible Impedimenta;
who do not burden themselves with
useless things, and who value clean
liness and airiness above show for the
mere sake of show. And he Is, of
course, right. But will his precept be
accepted by the American people? As
a people, wo are fond of show, and
of impressing ourselves and others with
pur importance. Undoubtedly it would
be better for us to live on roast beef
and potatoes and cornbread; but when
ever we can do so we indulge in foies
gras, truffles and champagne; and we
are as prone to stuff our houses as well
as our stomachs with things that would
better be left out of them.
EFFECT OF LAWSON’S ARTICLES.
One effect of the articles of Thomas
W. Lawson on "Frenzied Finance” is
to create a, tremendous sentiment in
favor of legislation against the cor
porations and trusts which are sup
posed to have obtained valuable fran
chises at a small cost, and another is
to swell the ranks of the Socialists.
If the great corporations got their val
uable charters by bribing Legislatures,
and many will aoept that conclusion
from what Mr. Lawson says, there will
be a very great Increase In the de
mand that they be made to disgorge
some of their wealth through the me
dium of heavier taxes. When they
plead that already their burdens in
that direction are about as heavy as
they can bear they will fail to arouse
any sympathy, because of the belief
that they obtained their charters by
unlawful means, and, that too, with
out paying anything like the worth of
them. The fact that Mr. Lawson men
tions only one Legislature that was
bribed and only one corporation that
thought a charter will be overlooked.
The impression will be that about all
of the great corporations used im
proper means to get their charters, es
pecially if their charters are very
valuable.
And many people will be so disgusted
with what they believe to be the cor
ruption of the old parties and will be
so satisfied that most ot the rich men
of the country got their money by un
fair methods, by, in fact, robbing the
people by means of bought legislation,
that they will rush headlong into the
Socialist party, believing it will event
ualy come into power and assist the
poor to get a larger share of the wealth
which labor creates.
If what Mr. Lawson Is writing is not
true the parties attacked ought to take
steps at once to make the fact clear.
If they are innocent and make no ef
fort to make their Innocence evident,
they will be looked upon as being guil
ty of the offenses with which he
charges them. It will be said they dare
not bring him into court to prove the
charges he makes so freely and boldly.
At first there was a disposition on
the part of the newspapers to ignore
the articles, because probably there
was doubt as to the amount of truth
there was In them, but they go Into
such detail and mention so many well
known names that they have become
the sensation of the day, and it isn’t
possible to Ignore them any longer.
Gen. Edgar Allen of Richmond, for
some time district attorney for the
Eastern district of Virginia, was gath
ered to his fathers some days ago. He
left a will In which was Included the
following proviso: "I desire to be
buried without display and at moder
ate expense, preferring that what of
this world's goods 1 leave behind me
shall contribute to the comfort of the
living rather than the adornment of
the dead” How sane and sensible!
One of the worst follies of the age is
extravagance at funerals. The dead
cannot 'be possibly benefited by a cost
ly display at the funeral, while the
living may be considerably Injured by
it. There are innumerable Instances In
which poor families have still further
Impoverished themselves to make a
“grand funeral." Families of means
set the example of elaborate funerals,
and clerks, washerwomen, day labor
ers, etc., Imagine that they must fol
low suit or be regarded as mean and
mercenary. Rev, Charles Wagner of
Rwltserlsnd is in this country preach
ing to us the simple life. What we
need Is name men of fore* to preach
tv us the simple death and burial.
An item of utmost importance comes
over the wires. Mr. Richard Harding
Davis is back home from the Far East
wars. It is announced that Mr. Davis
came home attired in a blue serge suit
with a long coat; that his shirt was
pale yellow, bordering on champagne
color, and that he carried a heavy
walking stick in one gloved hand,
with a picture of a dog in the
other hand. Incidentally, it is stated
that Mr. Davis heard on authority be
fore he left Tokio that Gen. Kuroki
had been killed. But, of course, the
fate of Gen. Kuroki was as nothing
In comparison with the color and cut
of Mr. Davis’ clothes and the color
of his gloves.
A week or so ago Mr. and Mrs. Van
Dusen left New York for the World’s
Fair at St. Louis on their wedding
tour. There were, of course, a num
ber of friends to see them off at the
railway station, and these friends, aft
er the old custom, threw a shower of
rice upon them. That the intention
was good there is no doubt. But the
effects were otherwise. A grain of rice
lodged in the bride’s ear. For three
days she suffered agony from if, and
finally a surgeon had to be called to
remove it. Nevertheless the custom of
throwing rice will be continued. Peo
ple do not quit foolish customs for so
slight a thing as a menace of deafness
or death.
Dr. Buchanan of the board of public
schools of Philadelphia says that as a
rule the dull pupils in the public
schools are those who are improperly
fed. With proper food and care, he
says, the average child is bright and
susceptible of education. And there
is no doubt much truth in rwhat he ob
serves. Men are particular to feed
their horses and cows the right sort
of food, but they exercise less care
with their children.
The New York Commercial has poll
ed the cotton states to get opinions as
to what the size of the current cotton
crop will be. It has received several
hundred replies. Averaging these, It
gets a crop total of 11,233,833 bales.
The guesses range from 10,000,000 to
13,000,000 bales. In all probability the
average of all the guesses—for the es
timates are no more than guesses—
will be found pretty nearly correct.

CURRENT COMMENT.
The Houston (Tex.) Post (Dem.)
says: "With two editors running for
Governor In Georgia, the affairs of
that state will soon be all write.”
The Springfield (Mass.) Republican
(Ind.) says: "For some mysterious
reason the annual report of the bureau
of navigation In the navy, will not be
made public this year. Various reasons
have been suggested, among them the
possibility that the report contains
sensational matter concerning the
navy’s operations at Panama, in the
Mediterranean and In the Far East.
Yet why should anything be concealed,
now that election is past and Mr.
Roosevelt got most of the votes?”
The New York World (Dem.) says;
"By every consideration of geography,
language, institutions and blood the
people of the United States and Can
ada are one. Unwise American states
manship alone is responsible for the
fact that an unfriendly nation has
been developing to the northward. The
correction of some of these blunders
Is of more consequence to this country
than even an excessive protection of
the Massachusetts codfish Industry,
but we should hardly expect the
Lodges in Congress to see It. They can
never see the woods for the trees.”
The Philadelphia Record (Dem.)
says: "Philadelphia is interested in
an enterprise which Is being agitated
in the Carolina* and Georgia. Chair
man Taylor of the Committee on In
land Water Route of the Columbia
(8. C.) Chamber of Commerce, has
been in Savannah arousing interest in
the matter. Congressman Small of
North Carolina, saya that any person
familiar with the conditions along the
coast from Philadelphia south must

Hanna aa a Speaker.
"One of Senator Hanna’s objects in
stumping West Virginia in 1902 was
to help his friend Seifator Scott, who
was then making his desperate cam
paign for re-election.” says the Sat
urday Evening Post.
“At noon one day. while Hanna
was at dinner, Scott rushed into the
dining room in great excitement and
exclaimed: ‘lt’s all right. It's all right!
Mark has caught on In West Virginny.
Four prisoners escaped from the pen
itentiary at Moundsville last night by
sawing the bars for no other reason
than to hear him talk at Parkersburg
last night.’
“Investigation showed that Scott had
spoken the truth. Four desperadoes
in the penitentiary who had heard of
the Hanna mass meeting made up their
minds to attend the meeting, and at
the risk of their lives sawed them
selves to freedom. They were pur
sued by Warden H'addox and seven
guards, and after the meeting the
prisoners surrendered themselves. 'We
are satisfied now,’ said the leader.
‘Take us back to jail; all we wanted
was to hear Hann'a talk and see him.’
“ ‘This beats anything I ever heard,’
said Hanna after the story was told
him. ’Say, Scotty,’ he added with a
twinkle in his eyes, ‘any prisoners
ever break out of jhil to hear you
talk? I have no doubt that most men
would plead guilty to some heinous
crime in order to get themselves lock
ed up in jail to escape from your ora
torical stunts.’
“And Senator Scott frowned."
Mr. Barnum Knew Them.
THe late P. T. Barnum was a keen
student of human nature, as well as
a natural humorist, and nothing which
set forth human traits that were odd,
or amusing, escaped his attention, says
Success. He was very fond of telling
stories of incidents that brought out
features in human character—one of
which, that delighted him immensely
was connected with the Siamese Twins.
When he was exhibiting those Orien
tal freaks, the press of the country
made them widely known, and they
became very soon one of his best draw
ing cards.
One day there came to see them a
back-country rustic, who was perfect
ly absorbed in them, and Inquisitive
enough in regard to them to require
almost a bureau of information to an
swer his innumerable questions. Mr.
Barnum happened to be the one ques
tioned, and he was asked their age,
occupation, original home. whether
they were single or married, their
weight and stature, and their religious
belief. Nothing, at any rate, was too
trivial or irrelevant, which the rustic
thought of, all of which interested the
showman intensely.
Finally, the bucolic visitor started
slowly, but reluctantly, to leave; but,
after walking away a few steps, he
returned, and said, with the most sol
emn simplicity:
“They are brothers, I presume.”
Merely a Suggestion.
Charles M. Schwab, after his return
from the West, was praising San Fran
cisco when someone Interrupted him
with the remark:
"But you hurried back home. You
didn't stay long."
"You speak,” said Mr. Schwab
“obliquely. Your remark. In an Indi
rect way. Is disparaging. It is like
the remark that I once heard a bache
lor make on a train.
"He was an old and crusty bache
lor, and It was his ill fortune to be
seated beside a woman with a baby
and cried. The woman dandled the
baby, oaressed it, Jumped it up and
down, sang to it. But it only shrieked
the louder. Finally, in despair, she ex
claimed:
“ ‘Dear me, I don’t know what to
do with this child.’
“The bachelor leaned toward her.
“ 'Shall I open the window for you,
madam?’ he said.” #

Lute Morse is telling a story about a
green recruit from the old sod who
was walking with his brother through
a railroad cut on a pleasant Sunday
afternoon, says the Nebraska. State
Journal. When a train came up be
hind them and whistled the experi
enced Irishman clambered up the bank
while his brother struck off down the
track as hal’d as he could run, only
to be overtaken and tossed about forty
rods by the cowcatcher. The brother
rushed to his side and shouted:
“Molke, are ye hurted?”
"Sure, I’m killed entirely.”
"Why didn’t ye climb the bank?”
“Well, if I couldn’t bate it on the

“how the divvel could I bate it climb

Dr. William H. Tolman, director of
the American Institute of Social Serv
ice, of New York, tells a Times re
porter a story of a "fresh air” young
ster who was received at the country
house of a friend of his for a two
week stay. "He was from the slums,"
said the narrator, "and supposed to be
ignorant of the comforts of life, let
alone the amenities. At the dinner ta
ble the first day they handed him for
dessert a triangle of apple pie, fresh,
hot and delicious. The New Yorker in
spected it and remarked: ‘Apple pie
and no cheese. Hell!’ ”
Father William Up to Date.
From Puck.
"You are old. Father William,” the
young man said,
“And you're frequently subject to
gout:
Yet you eat highly spiced, indigestible
food.
Which, I'm sure, you’d be better
without.”
"In the days of my youth,” Father
William replied.
"My wife to a cooking class went:
And everything now seems quite
wholesome beside
The dishes she used to Invent.”
“You are old. Father William,” the
young man said,
"Your own tongue you scarcely oan
speak;
Yet when the Congress of Nations con
vened
You Jabbered in Choctaw and Greek.”
“In the days of my youth,” Father
William replied,
“I lead nothing but dialect tales;
And although over English I’ve lost
my command.
My Creole and Scotch never falls”
"You are old. Father William,” the
young man said.
"No longer you're agile and keen;
And yet when an earthquake demol
ished the town.
You stood all unmoved and serene.”
"In the days of my youth,” Father
William replied,
"I rode on New York surface oars;
So an earthquake, you see, has no ter
rors for me,
I heed not slight jostles or Mrs.”
“You are old. Father William," the
young man said.
"And from active service dismissed'

AN APPHKACIATIO.V OF NOAH.
From the Boston Post.
Prof. M. V. Millard, a resident of
Indianapolis, Ind., has returned to this
country after several years spent in
Egypt, here he has been making ex
cavations in many places along the
Nile. Prof. Millard is an eminent
archeologist, and from the investiga
tions which he has made he has de
duced the following facts concerning
Noah;
Has located the exact spot where the
ark was builded.
That Noah laid out 8500,000 in build
ing the ark.
That he was assisted in this work by
a large crew of ship carpenters.
That Noah was one of the greatest
kings of the world and a multi-million
aire.
Tthiat Noah 'built the pyramid of
Gizeh.
That Noah was a griant in stature.
These are interesting facts indeed.
Noah, then, was the first captain of in
dustry who ever happened. He was the
first moneyed man of the world. He
must have possessed considerable tact
in inducing ship carpenters to work
on the ark for him, inasmuch as it was
a project in which they had no inter
est or sympathy. Chances are Noah
departed from the usual custom of
captains of industry who have come
after him, by paying his workmen
union wages. The people jeered at
Noah as he proceeded to build the
large scow. But Noah paid no atten
tion to their jibes—he merely cast his
weather eye around and predicted that
it was going to shower, and it did.
Noah was the greatest weather prophet
of all time, bar none. Noah predicted
the continuous rain 120 years before it
came. He seemed to have an ability
in this direction that is not. possessed
by our weather clerks of to-day. It
hustles a modern weather clerk to
predict a shower twenty-four hours
ahead nowadays, and hit it.
Prof. Millard does not tell us by what
means Noafli accumulated his vast
wealth and became a millionaire. We
know that he formed the first ship
building trust and that he watered the
stock at that. Can it be possible that
here is where J. Pierpont Morgan got
his cue?
Why Noah should have built the
great pyramid of Gizeih is more than
we can Imagine. He must have been
hunting trouble. Possibly he desired
to leave behind something which would
make posterity remember him once in
a while. Or, again like Carnegie, he
may have been afraid of dying rich
and planted his money in a pyramid
as an easy means of reducing the sur
plus. If he had gone about establish
ing free libraries he would have done
more good in the world. But Noah
did have the greatest menagerie which
was ever collected together, we must
all admit that. When the late P. T.
Barnum advertised that he had “the
greatest show on earth” he was hard
ly fair to Noah, who had him skun
going and coming on animals.
ORIGIN OF THE EARTH’S HEAT.
From the London Telegraph.
A German physicist, Herr Liebe
now, puts forward the theory, whioh
has been hinted by others, that there
may be enough radium in the crust of
the globe to account for the earth’s
internal heat. It is only necessary to
suppose, for this object, that radium
is “uniformly distributed throughout
the mass of the earth In quantities
of about one-thousandth of what is
known to occur in pitchblende.’’ But
there are many indications that radium
occurs more frequently than this In
all known rocks, and that its occur
rence is more frequent hear the surface
of the earth than in the interior. “This
theory,” the Electrician observes, "de
molishes at a blow all our conceptions
of a liquid interior at the tremendous
temperatures implied by a uniformly
rising gradient.” “It now becomes
permissible to assume that the temper
ature rises toward the center of the
earth, but attains a maximum at no
very great depth, and that the in
terior beyond that point is at a uni
form and comparatively low tempera
ture.”
This is making rather too much of
radium. What we know of volcanic
phenomena in the past, of heat as a
factor in the formation of the heaven
ly bodies, of the sufficiency of La
Place’s theory to account for the solar
system, as so many slowly cooling
bodies, negatives the supposition of
there being another sufficient cause
for the same effects. Besides, do we
know enough of the break-up of the
radium atom, and its liberation of heat,
at such pressures as exist at groat
depth of rock to be sure that the phe
nomena of the laboratory would be
present there?
CUBAN BIG SENT HERE BY MAIL.
From the Philadelphia Record.
A Cuban lantern-bug, which clerks
declare was as large as a stag beetle,
is one of the strange things sent to
the Dead Letter Office in Washington
a few day ago from the local post of
fice. The bug, which is of the harm
less sort that senoritas frequently place
in the hair for decorative purposes on
fete days, came through the mails
in a bulky-looking package. The en
velope was not properly sealed, and
when the end of it was torn open
for Inspection, the bug scrambled out.
Clerks who had never seen one of
the bugs were afraid of It, and it was
carefully picked up in a handful of
scrap paper and placed in a small box.
It is against the postal regulations to
send live stock through the mails, and
the government will not assume re
sponsibility for the safe delivery of
such, so the bug was sent to Wash
ington. The bug came into the foreign
mails department, which Is In charge
of Jerome Leher. He saya that a big
percentage of the strange things that
pass through the mails come from for
eign countries. Nearly every mail
pouch from abroad contains live stock
in the shape of bugs of some sort,
and many of the clerks in the foreign
department are up on entomology as
well as expert In the use of disin
fectants.
COAL IN CHINA SIX HUNDRED
YEARS AGO.
From Cassler's Magazine.
Marco Polo, the Portuguese, was the
first European since the days of Greek
and Roman ascendency to explore the
remote parts of Asia. This was in the
latter part of the thirteenth century.
A correspondent of "The Bulletin
of the Iron and Steel Association,” in
looking through Marco Polo's account
of his travels, found the following ref
erence to "stones which ars burned
Instead of wood:”
“It may be observed, also, that
throughout the whole province of
Cathay tehre are a kind of black
stones cut from the mountains in
veins, which burn like logs. They
maintain the Are better than wood.
If you put them on In the evening
they will preserve It the whole night,
and will be found burning in the
morning.
"Threuifhout the whole of Cathay
this fuel is used. They have also wood,
indeed, but tho atones are much lea*
expensive."
This early reference to coal la of
especial value because It shows that
the Chinese possessed a knowledge of
Its use #OO years ago. before coal was
much used In Europe.
