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. PERSONAL. Mr. Kato, formerly Japanese min ister in London, has purchased the Tokio journal. Nichl Nlchi Shimbun, which he will personally conduct. —Hon. Manuel Lucaino Diaz, secre tary of public works for Cuba, as well as president of the Cuban Railway Commission, has just arrived in New Orleans on a visit to this country. —Father Ambrose Agius, formerly appointed delegate from Rome to the Philippines, was bom in Egypt, edu cated in England, founded a Benedic tine house at Malta, and is an apostle of peace. Luther Conant, Jr., for years finan cial editor of the New York Journal of Commerce, has been appointed a special examiner In the Bureau of Cor porations, Department of Commerce and Labor. Lord Selbome, first lord of the British admiralty, once met a young midshipman to whom he was personal,- ly unknown, at a country house party and asked him how he liked life in the navy. “Oh, pretty well,” was the r ® pl J r • ‘*>ut I’d like to have the Board of Admiralty pigging it In the gun room of the in a gale; it might teach em to build ships, not tubs.” BRIGHT BITS. —"lt is very easy to be misled now adays,” said Miss Cayenne. "In what wajt?” “When you smell gasolene you cant tell whether a person has been cleaning gloves or riding in an automobile. —Washington Star. —Mrs. Nimble—“Oh, you're making fancy work presents for Christmas aren’t you?” Miss Kimball—“ Mercy no! Nobody wants these foolish things. I'm just making them for the charity bazaar!”- Detroit Free Press. —"Now, me good man,” said the 'pompous stranger, who had signed ■Viscount Hardcastie, London,’ on the register, “what are your terms here?” “Cash in advance,” replied the shrewd Ihotel clerk, promptly.—Philadelphia Press. —"Mammy,” said the little Georgia pickaninny, "Ah’s heahd tell of dese head autymobiles so much. What do dey look lak?” ”De goodness only knows!” responded his mother, "but Ah specs dey looks lak de ol' Nick. Ah’ve heahd dey all hab horns.”— Chicago Daily News. 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 see the importance of developing the Interior water way. Engineer* have eatlmated that a sixteen-foot 'hsunel could be cut for ttn.iMo.oon and IIM.OOO a year would maintain It, and Mr. Rmsll believes that the commercial saving nil coastwise traffic would be not leee than IZ.MW.OOO a year.” 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.” # Knew He Couldn’t Dodge. 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 level,” snorted the wounded Irishman, “how the divvel could I bate it climb ing hills?" Bad a* War. 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' You know all the perils pertaining to war, Tet I hear you would like to enlist,” ”!n the day* of my youth.” Father William replied. “I went with my wife to a More; She said, I believe, 'twos a Bargain Day Bale, And now I fear battle no more.” 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.
