The Weather.
The Indications for Georgia for to

In northwest portion, with light vari
able winds. Eastern Florida fair
weather, with light southeast winds.
It may prove that 203-Meter Hill
will be the long meter doxology of the
defense of Port Arthur.
Chairman Burton says it will be the
policy of the River and Harbor Com
mittee "to take care first of the large
and approved projects of real impor
tance to the great commercial interests
of the country.” On that basis. Sa
vannah will come in among the first.
It is sincerely to be hoped that the
last has been heard of the Gaston
street paving controversy, and that
the improvement of the street will be
not much longer delayed. For years
the street has been an eye-sore and
a reproach to the community. Owing
to its situation Gaston ought to be
cne of the show streets of the city,
but in its present condition no resi
dent could possibly take pride in it.
A movement has been started, by
John Wanamaker, It is said, to butld
In Parts a great church for Pastor
Wagner, author of "The Simple Life.”
A fund of 3150,000 is wanted for the
building alone. Mr. Wanamaker, Mr.
R. C. Ogden and Levi P. Morton are
•aid to be among the prime movers in
the matter. Isn't It a little strange,
by the way, how the simple life ap
peals so strongly to men who live In
palaces and are worth millions of dol
lars?

TWO ADVISERS.
On Tuesday evening at the dinner of
the Virginians at the Waldorf-Astoria
in New York, Woodrow Wilson, presi
dent of Princeton University, advised
the Democratic party of the South to
east from its ranks Its radical ele
ment, reorganize Itself on the basis of
the principles the National Democratic
party upheld prior to 1896, and become
the dominating and directing part of
the National Democracy. In the course
of his remarks, he Bald: The South
has now “a unique opportunity to per
form a great national service. As the
only remaining part of the Democratic
party that can command'a majority
of its votes in its constituencies, let
the South demand a rehabilitation of
the Democratic party on the only lines
that can restore it to dignity and pow
er." What President Wilson meant
was that since 1896 the Democratic
party has permitted Its name to be
used by men who should never have
been admitted to Its councils, men who
“advocated principles and professed
purposes which it had always hitherto
repudiated.” These men are Populists
and radical theorists. In the opinion
of President Wilson “they could not,
by themselves, ever have played any
other role in national politics than
that of a noisy minority. They forced
themselves into the Democratic party
with the result that every doubtful
state has become an enthusiastic sup
porter of the Republican party.” And
it is the opinion of President Wilson
there will be no more doubtful states
until the Democratic party gets rid
of this Populistic, radical element.
The South, and the South alone, he
thinks, can rid the party of this ele
ment.
Can the South do what President Wil
son thinks it ought to do? Isn’t the
Populistic element in the Democratic
party in the South, much stronger than
he thinks it is?
This question suggests Mr. Watson’s
speech, which was delivered at Car
tersville on Wednesday, a full synopsis
of which the Morning News published
yesterday. He advised the Democratic
party of the South to abandon its or
ganization and fight its political bat
tles in the future under the banner of
the Populists. According to his view
the Democratic party can never again
become a great political force because
it will never solidly follow a leader
holding Mr. Bryan's views or a lead
er who stands for the views set forth
in the St. Louis platform.
Of these two advisers we have no
hesitation in saying the South will en
deavor to follow the line marked out
by President Wilson. She may not
be able at once to follow it closely,
hut she will come pretty near doing
it.
Mr. Watson would like to see the
Democratic party disrupted. He is
working to that end now. In the re
cent election he got a pretty large vote
in this state, but the greater part of
it was due 'to his personal
popularity, not to the approval of the
doctrines for which he stood. That
this is so will doubtless appear when
the returns In other Southern states
are consolidated.
It is probable that Mr. Watson thinks
he can win the South to Populism. We
are confident he is mistaken. The
South will stick to the Democratic
party, but that party will be more
like the Democratic party that Presi
dent Wilson wants the South to di
rect and dominate than the Democratic
party that Mr. Bryan led in two
campaigns.
ST. LOUIS FAIR CONCESSIONS.
It is well understood that the St.
Louis Fair wasn't a money making
Institution. It cost a great deal more
than the Chicago Fair, but it is doubt
ful if the receipts were anywhere near
as much. And those who paid high
prices for concessions must be feeling
pretty blue. It is a question if any
of the concessions paid a fair return
on the money and time Invested in
them.
It was thought the Boer War Exhibi
tion Company would pay if anything
would, but it seems the stockholders
of that concern are out of pocket.
Some of them have filed a petition in
court to have a receiver take charge of
its effects. It is stated that the gate
receipts were $600,000, and the expenses
$700,000. And yet there was much com
ment on the number of people that
visited the show. It seemed as if about
everybody wanted to se® it. If it fail
ed to pay expenses what must have
been the experience of some of the
other shows?
The Impression prevailed that the
Boer War show was so popular that
it would be taken to New York, and,
next summer, to Coney Island. This
programme may still be carried out,
because If It can be made to pay un
der good management there will not be
wanting money to get It out of finan
cial difficulties.
The St. Louis Fair made plain this
fact, namely, that we have been hav
ing great fairs In this country too close
together. One In about every twenty
years would be enough. The people
don't seem to be inclined to pay for
any rreater number.
Congress wll) assemble next Monday.
As soon as the Senate has been called
to order Senators Penroso of Pennsyl
vania and Lodge of Massachusetts will
Inform the honorable body of the fact
that since the last session Senators
Quay and Hoar have departed this
life. The Senate, of course, doesn't
know this yet. When It has been
apprised of Its bereavement the Sen
ate will Immediately adjourn for the
day, In respect to the memory of the
deceased. Thus the President's mes
sage will not be read until Tuesday,
and It will be Wednesday before any
business is done. It will, of course,
do the late Senators Quay and Hoar
a lot of good to have the Senate ad
journ In their honor, while the mem
bars go out to the Banning race track
for the afternoon.
Now that the World’a Fair at St.
Loula la over, the lew suits growing
out of It will rami' Into notice. Al
ready several sutta have been Insti
tuted by disappointed exhibitors and
-cst<>aajonalrg. Fair litigation will
probably keep the 01. Louis ionite

SAVANNAH MORNING NEWS: FRIDAY. DECEMBER 2. 1904.
IXCREASE IX CRIMES OF VIOLENCE.
In line with Judge Speer’s address to
the grand jury on Monday is S. S.
McClure’s article in McClure’s maga
zine for December, on the "Increase
of Lawlessness in the United States.”
It is an article that ought to be read
carefully by all who have anything to
do with the enforcement of the law.
The statistics which Mr. McClure
quotes are taken from those compiled
by the Chicago Tribune. It appears
that since 1881 there have been 129,464
murders and homicides in this country.
And in these crimes of violence there
has been a steady increase since the
year mentioned. In 1881 there were
only 1.286 murders and homicides. In
1903 there were 8,955. In 1881 there
was only one murder or homicide for
every 40,533 inhabitants. In 1903 there
was one for every 8,955. This increase
is so alarming that it ought to arrest
the attention of every man in the
country who exerts any influence in
shaping public sentiment.
Mr. McClure undertakes to give some
of the causes of so many crimes of vio
lence. In the course of his article,
he says:
Is it possible for officials to prevent
ordinary crimes who are selected and
elected generally for reasons other
than special fitness for their tasks, and
frequently for the definite purpose of
robbing the people who elect them?
Can a body of policemen engaged In
blackmail, persecution, and in shield
ing law-breakers moke a community
law-abiding? Can a body of policemen
engaged in criminal practices prevent
others from committing crimes? Can
a board of aldermen who for private
gain combine to loot a city govern a
city well?
It is a fact of course that the great
majority of crimes of violence are
committed in cities, and are due large
ly to the fact that comparatively few
of those guilty of them are punished.
They are also due to the fact that the
laws are not enforced againdt the
places in which these crimes are com
mitted. And at the bottom of all of
it is politics. Men are put into office
who are not expected to enforce the
laws to any greater extent than they
can help, or men who get into office
are too weak to enforce the laws. If
crimes continue to increase at the rate
they have been increasing for the last
twenty years there will be tens of
thousands of murders and homicides
annually by the end of another period
of twenty years.
AT THE MERCV OF AN ENEMY.
We were under the impression that
we were pretty well prepared to re
sist the landing of an enemy on our
coast and to prevent the entrance cf
an enemy to our harbors, but, it
seems, according to the report of Brig.
Gen. Stoi-y, chief of artillery, In his
annual report to Gen. Chaffee, that
this impression is erroneous. Our har
bors are not fully protected, because
the torpedo defense is not complete.
Even if complete material were on
hand for this defense there would still
be lacking men properly trained to op
erate it. The statement that Gen.
Story makes is that there are only
about 400 men available for tills serv
ice, though 5,000 are needed.
Why is it that the torpedo defense
has been neglected if it is eo Impor
tant? As pointed out by Gen. Story,
submarine mines couldn’t be obtained
in time to be of service If an enemy
should suddenly appear off our coast,
or even If there should be a sudden
declaration of war by a nation having
a first-class navy.
It Is to be assumed that very little
has been done In the direction of pre
paring submarine mines or educating
men to operate them, or else Gen.
Story wouldn’t have made such a sen
sational reference to this branch of the
coast defense in his report. It is diffi
cult to believe, however, that there
has been oversight or neglect In this
matter. For some reason not made
public, but little has been done In the
direction of perfecting this feature of
coast defense. Still, there is no par
ticular reason for uneasiness. In the
first place there is no apprehension of
war and In the second place American
genius is equal to almost any emer
gency.
The county shrievalty at Trenton, N.
J., is worth about $25,000 a year. A
year ago William M. Johnson was
elected sheriff. Among the duties of
the sheriff Is that of executing con
demned prisoners. Mr. Johnson is a
Quaker, and 1s opposed to capital pun
ishment. He got along In his office
finely until a murder occurred In his
county and the murderer was sen.
tenced to be hanged. Sheriff Johnson
did all he could to secure a commuta
tion of the man's sentence, but failed.
Finally, when he saw there was noth
ing to be done except hang the man.
If he remained In office. Sheriff John
son resigned. He wouldn’t violate his
religious convictions, even for a $25,000-
a-year office. There are so few politi
cians like him that the case Is worthy
of mention.
The Louisiana Purchase Exposition
came to an end yesterday, and the
dismantling of the great show will
follow immediately. It seems a pity
that so magnificent a spectacle should
be destined to disappear within a
few weeks, after eo short a life; but
that Is the fate of expositions. The
buildings were designed for only
temporary use. and the probabilities
are that In less than a year’s time
they would have begun to fall to
pieces from “old age,” making the
cost of keeping them up enormous.
The accountants will have to be heard
from before It can be said how much
of a success the St. Louie Exposition
was. Asa show, It was a great suc
cess. but whether It paid for Itself Is
quite another question.
The Mayor of St. Pierre and Mique
lon, a French possession In the Gulf
of St. Lawrence, desired to pass
through Boston the other day on his
way to Paris. But he was not per
mitted to land, until after an elaborate
investigation had been held with re
spect to whether or not he wee a prop
er person to enter the United State*.
Hl* deal re was merely to pace through
a city and port of the country, to
reach a foreign country. But our
monumentally stupid Immigration laws
closed the door* to him until he could
prove that he wse not t pauper liable
$e become g charge on the public.
The Nan Patterson murder case In
New York must be begun all over
again, becauso one of the jurors got
sick and was unable to go on with the
trial. It cost the taxpayers hundreds
of dollars to secure a jury In the first
instance, and the cost will be probably
greater for the second Jury. Why
wouldn't it have been just as sensi
ble and as fair to have permitted the
trial to proceed with eleven Jurors?
What Is there sacred or Immaculate
In the number twelve In connection
with a petty jury? The agreement of
eleven, or ten men, on the evidence In
this case, or any other case for that
matter, would have been just as con
clusive of guilt or innocence as the
agreement of twelve. The fact of the
matter Is that our jury system Is woe
fully weak. It needs reforming. Un
der existing conditions it makes for
the interference of technicalities and
quibbles in the administration of jus
tice.
Peter Nissen. the Chicago man who
says he is going to the North Pole
in a big canvas ball that he calls
"The Fool Killer,” started off the
other day on an experimental trip of
sixty miles across the lake in his
strange craft. “The Fool Killer” is a
huge canvas globe, in the center of
which is suspended a basket containing
the navigator and his necessaries of
life. The apparatus is to be pushed
along by the wind, rolling or not, over
land and water, as the strength of the
wind may dictate. It is not unlikely
that Nissen himself may be the first
victim of “The Fool Killer.”
A New Jersey man, formerly in the
navy, has invented an apparatus for
propelling ships that he thinks will
revolutionize about everything afloat.
The feature of the apparatus con
sists of a big wind wheel that is con
nected with a propeller. The machine,
it is claimed, will travel right into
the teeth of any wind that blows, and
the harder it blows the faster the ap
paratus will run against it. To em
ploy the vernacular, It would seem
that this invention has perpetual
motion skinned a mile. If it works,
steam engines will all be sent to the
scrap heap.
PERSONAL.
—The Clare family of Abbottstown,
Adams county, probably holds the rec
ord in Pennsylvania for the largest
number of clergymen in one family.
At the annual meeting of the West
Pennsylvania Lutheran Synod Martin
L. Clare was licensed to preach, mak
ing the fourth member of that family
to enter the ministry, the others being
Rev. R. L. Clare, pastor of the Luther
an Congregational at East Berlin and
Abbottstown; Rev. Harry Clare of
Philadelphia, and Rev. Robert Clare of
York.
—Archbishop Farley of New York
has notified the priests of his diocese
that he Intends to enforce the rule
which makes it incumbent on the
priests to seek the permission of their
bishop before holding fairs and euchre
parties for the benefit of the church.
It was said at the cathedral that
church euchres and fairs had not been
forbidden, but that the authorities dis
approved of them and only gave per
mission in cases where their value is
clearly recognized and where they are
hedged about with proper precautions.

CURRENT COMMENT.
The New York World (Dem.) says;
“As each state has the right to reg
ulate Its ballot and the manner of its
choice of presidential electors, might
it not be well to drop the names of
the electors entirely from the ballot
and substitute the name of the candi
date, and to provide that a vote for the
candidate for President shall be consid
ered also a vote for the electors whose
names have been duly registered with
the Secretary of State by the state
convention which nominated them?
This would shorten the ballotj prevent
split electoral tickets and simplify vot
ing. It needs no constitutional amend
ment to put it Into effect."
The Louisville Courier Journal
(Dem.) says: "There are grounds for
belief that a few months may develop
a warm antagonism between the two
wings of the party In which the Pres
ident will represent the conservative
or moderate revision wing, while Mr.
Shaw will stand with the stand-pat
ters. It Is well known that the Pres
ident favors ex-Secretary Root as his
successor. Mr. Root, from his former
service, no less than having the Pres
ident as his sponsor, will have an as
sured prominence. Whether Mr. Shaw,
bereft of his official consequence, will
be able to preserve a national foot
ing In the contest or go back to the
obscure bank presidency, remains to
be seen. He may survive, but the
chances are that with the odd# so
greatly against him he may prove to
be like one of those shooting stars
which light up the firmament for a
few brief moments and end in utter
darkness."
The Springfield (Mass.) Republican
of Nov. 50. discussing the cotton sit
uation, says: “Cotton sold yesterday
at 91A cents, the lowest price known
in more than a year, and the general
tendency of the market continues to
be in a downward direction. Meantime
the statement comes from Fall River
that the mills Involved In the strike,
practically without exception, did not
earn the dividends paid out during the
past fiscal year, but drew upon their
surpluses or borrowed money to make
the division. This fact Is revealed In
the reports being made to the Massa
chusetts Secretary of State under the
law. As it was the dividend for twen
ty-two mills averaged only shout 3.6
per cent. The manufacturers have not
carsd to have such Information pub
lished, ga calculated to rsvest a weak
ened financial porltion, but they gave
It to the strike leaders In confidence
by way of proving the necessity of cut
ting wages. The leaders were strong
ly Impressed with the fairness of the
mill men, hut It Is said they could not
persuade the strikers to go back at
the reduction. As cotton falls In price,
howevet, the position of the menu-
Hu luring Industry becomes stronger
after one of thy moat trying seasons it
has ever undergone.”
Druggists Hard-Luck Story.
The bright and glittering foreground
of the average druggist’s life has also,
it appears, its deep and dismal back
ground of daily gloom, says the Louis
ville Courier Journal.
“You haven’t any idea,” remarked a
highly intelligent pharmacist behind
the counter of a handsome little shop,
“how many persons, besides myself,
try to run this little drug store. All
day long and far into the night, the
druggist is at the mercy of all the
people who come and go and have bar
rels of advice to throw away. We keep
postage stamps, purely for accommo
dation, and many of my customers act
as if I ought to be arrested because I
happen ever to be out of stamps. I
have even had complaints presented
because I don’t take every identical
newspaper printed in the city, night
and morning, for my neighborhood
loungers to read. Men tell me what
cigars and soaps I ought to keep, and
what prices I ought to ask; how early
I ought to be here; how much time I
ought to take at noon, and how late I
ought to stay at night. Doctors, as a
rule, are the most persistent advisers;
every doctor thinks he knows exactly
how to run a drug store. Some of the
doctors act as if the chemist ought to
go home with each prescription-cus
tomer and sit by his bed while he takes
the dose.
“And the thlok-headed or careless
customer is another long chapter. Last
night a big fat man with a croakv
voice waddled in here and said: 'I
can’t gargle with this stuff.’
“ ‘What’s the matter?’ I asked.
“ ‘lt’s too thick, he said, ‘no man on
earth could gargle with a gargle like
this.’
“ 'Did you read the directions?’
“The fat man turned the little jar of
paste in his hand and read slowly
aloud: ‘Dissolve one teaspoonful in
pint of water, and use as a gargle.’
" ‘Oh,’ he croaked, ‘that’s different.'
“ ‘Quite different,’ I said. ‘Suppose
you go home and try again.’
"That's only a sample,” concluded
the drug man, "but our life is full of
diverting encounters, too; we see
many interesting and intelligent peo
ple, day by day, and they atone for
the stupid ones and the meddlers.”
Afraid of the Wet.
The crew of a certain life-saving sta
tion on the New England coast has
many times proved itself brave and
efficient in time of need, but of late
its skill and bravery have been use
less, like so much treasure locked in
a vault. There has been no wreck,
says the Youth’s Companion. The sea
has been kind as a big dog. Inaction
had inevitably bred soft habits of life,
and the idle crew had given Che sum
mer visitors much to joke about. Their
satirical comments were rather un
grateful, for the practice drills of the
crew were a part of the entertainment
of the seaside resort. Twice a week
the crew pulled out the brass cannon,
shot a rope over a dummy mast which
is set up on a point of land, and then
practiced sliding down in the breeches
buoy. The small boys of the place
were glad to play the part of rescued
mariners, and altogether the serious
drill, required by law, was a pretty
holiday sport. One rainy day, at the
appointed time, the crew failed to ap
pear at practice. The summer board
ers on the hotel veranda waited in
vain for the exhibition which should
vary the monotony of a dull day. Fin
ally, one of them went over to the
quarters of the crew to learn the rea
son.
“I say, aren’t you going to practice
to-day?”
No, sir.”
“Why not?”
Then the brave life-saver, hero of
many rough seas, made an explanatory
gesture toward the weather and said:
“What, in this rain?”
Inherited Religion.
The London Chronicle tells of a quiz
of a French' military college student
In the anti-Cathollc agitation in the
army, under Gen. Andre. A youthful
student, son of an eminent public man,
was Interrogated by an officer, who,
among other questions, put this:
"What Is your religion?” “Really,
monsieur” “Don’t say ‘monsieur*
here. Say ‘my captain.’ ” "Really, my
captain, I don’t know.” “But you
must know. You must be a Catholic,
Protestant, Jew, Mahometan, Buddhist,
or what not. Your father, what is
he?” "Governor of Indo-China, my
captain.” "Tut, tut! Has he been bap
tized?” "Yes, my captain.” "As
what?” “Catholic.” "Then you must
be Catholic, too! -What on earth do
you mean by wasting my time In this
fashion?”
Never Heard *1 Her.
‘‘l have been told,” said the Amer
ican tourist in London, referring to
his notebook, according to the Chi
cago Tribune, “that I ought to go and
see the old lady of Threadneedle street,
and that I'd find her somewhere up
this way.”
"That, sir,” the policeman replied,
"is wot we call the Bank of England
'ere, sir. 'Arf a square further.”
“Curious name for a woman,” mused
the tourist, moving in the direction
indicated. "Banca Vlnglln—l don't
think I ever heard of her before.”
An Object of Wonderment.
From the Chicago Tribune.
Bill Brockway’s got his Christmas
things arranged about his store—
He says he's got a finer lot than he
has had before—
Perfumery, bricky brack, an' cards to
decorate the wall,
An‘ books of poetry—of course, he’s
bound to have them all.
But right in front of everything’s a
lady’s toilet set,
Done up in swell plush, album like—
at sl4 net!
The outside of It’s red—the plush—with
silver hinges, too,
It's got a silver lock that's set with
somethin’ bright an’ blue;
An' on the top's a motto—“With My
Fond Regards,” It says—
The letters cut from silver, all en
graved In purty ways.
An’ everybody looks at it, and won
ders who will get
The outfit. It's a stylish thing—at sl4
net.
The lid lifts up, an’ when It does It
opens to your gaze
A lbt o’ levers that supports some sat
in covered trays.
An’ they're Just full o' silver things—
some scissors, knives, an' files.
An' combs and brushes, sliver backed.
Each girl 'at sees 'em smiles.
An’ says they're Just too sweet for use,
an* it's a lovely set.
Their beaus come In an’ see the price—
It's sl4 net.
It's been looked at by all the beaus of
all the girls in town;
Bill says that "sl4 net” means he won’t
mark It down.
The boys look at It anxlou|ly—an’ then
most of them feel
Inside their pockets for a spell an' then
they buy "Luclle.”
Or maybe something like a vase, or
sliver pencil—yet
They always turn an' read again that
”sl4 net.”
I’m worktn' In the store, to help all
through the Christmas rush.
An’ when the girls come In thsy call
me to one side an' blush,
An’ whisper, If that set Is sold, won't
I, If I don't mind,
Please let them know who buys It—
It would be so very kind'
An' so that's why I think thl* year
there’ll be some hopes upset.
Because Bill Brock way holds the thing
