The very best temperance argument
is the one that hits the pocket nerve.
It appears that statistics gathered by
the life insurance companies make it
cWar that total abstainers live an
average of about ten years longer than
even moderate drinkers. For this rea
eon total abstainers are given a lower
rate than moderate drinkers, and
heavy drinkers are not wanted at ail
as Insurance risks. Many persons labor
under the impression that a "moderate”
amount of alcoholic drink at dinner is
an aid to digestion. The cold facts are
said to be altogether against this con
clusion.
The New York fire department has

THE SOUTH AND IMMIGRATION.
The South is waking up to the fact
that she is in need of immigrants to
develop her resources. The govern
ment is willing to assist her in get
ting a fair share of (hose arriving from
Europe, but she will have to do Some
thing herself. Representatives of rail
ways of the South met the Commis
sioner of Immigration in Washington
on Monday, and talked over the sit
uation with him. Of the railways in
terested in this state the Southern, the
Atlantic Coast Line and the Georgia
Southern and Florida were represented
at the conference. If there were oth
ers the fact did not appear In our
Washington dispatches. It is rather
remarkable that the Central of Geor
gia Railway had no representative
present. Heretofore that road has
shown a progressive spirit in all mat
ters relating to the upbuilding of the
state, particularly that portion of it
contiguous to its lines.
Commissioner Sargent said arrange
ments were being made to take care
of immigrants arriving at New Or
leans, and that in future efforts would
be made to turn some of the tide of
immigration through that port. That
would insure the South a portion of the
immigrant supply. He also proposes
to establish a bureau of information at
Ellis Island, New York harbor, where
information relating to all sections of
the country will.be distributed to Im
migrants on their arrival. If the
South wants to be benefited through
this bureau she will have to supply in
formation respecting her advantages
for immigrants, also the kinds of em
playment open to them and the prices
at which lands can be obtained.
Of course the Southern railroads will
see to it that the territory in which
they are interested is brought to the
attention of immigrants, by supplying
the bureau with the kind of informa
tion that will be the most effective to
accomplish the object they have in
view. And the Southern states might
aid in this work. A small appropria
tion from each state would be suffi
cient.
Some of the Southern states have
considered the advisability of sending
immigration agents to Europe, but
Commissioner Sargent says that the
government wouldn’t countenance ef
forts of that kind.
It is evident that in future the South
will have an equal chance with the
West in getting immigrants. Hereto
fore all the influences have been in
ravor of helping that section, but
there is such a tendency of the immi
grants to form colonies in the Eastern
cities that the government is now will
ing to do almost anything to get the
immigrants to scatter throughout the
country, and to settle to as great an
extent as possible on farms.
A WORTHY CHARITY.
At the Christmas season the hearts
of most men are warmed towards their
fellow creatures. There is keen pleas
ure in giving and thus, the givers Hat
ter themselves, bringing cheer, com
fort and gladness for a brief period
at least into the lives of some of God’s
unfortunates. That this gentle spirit
of giving is imposed upon in outra
geous fashion cannot be successfully
questioned. Conscienceless and pro
fessional beggars ‘‘.make up” for the
Christmas season and line the streets
and sidewalks, soliciting alms. There
are more beggars In evidence during
the midwinter holidays than at any
other season, and it is probably a safe
proposition that more than half of
their number are fakirs, unworthy of
the slightest consideration. Indis
criminate giving to them is an injus
tice to the deserving poor and to the
charity organizations that make a spe
cialty of rendering aid where it may
be worthily bestowed.
The surest way to make a dollar go
to the utmost length for charity, un
less the donor has personal knowledge
of his proposed beneficiaries, is to put
it into the hands of some charity or
ganization; and among such organi
zations there is none that is more
worthy of friendly consideration and
liberal patronage than the Salvation
Aimy. Owing to the very nature of
their work, the Salvationists have in
timate knowledge of Just where a lit
tle Judicious charity will do the most
good. They make a special effort
each Christmas to provide a good din
ner for the destitute, the forlorn and
the hopeless, and to leave a little
something over for the pressing wants
of the worthy poor. In each city
where the army maintains a post,
hundreds are annually cheered by the
ministrations of the devoted “soldiers,”
who give cheerfully of their time and
pains to the work of humanity.
It is the purpose of the local organ
ization to supply not less than 500
worthy persons with a substantial din
ner on Christmas day, after a plan
that has been explained heretofore.
This laudable purpose should receive
the willing and ready assistance of the
charitably-inclined.
At various public places throughout
the city the Salvation Army has placed
receptacles into which may be
dropped offerings for its Christmas
charity. These little boxes ought to
be well patronized. A few cents
dropped into one will be the means of
bringing cheer to some fellow creature
who might otherwise lack it. A dime
may go to purchase a doll that will
make some poor child happy with that
intensity of happiness that is seldom
known In the home of affluence.

SAVANNAH MORNING NEWS: THURSDAY. DECEMBER 15, 1904.
PRINCE FI SHIMI’S FAREWELL.
In his lecture on Tuesday night, Mr.
Hobson said this nation occupied a pe
culiar position in respect to other na
tions. It was feared by the other Pow
ers—the great Powers which were put
ting their faith in militarism —and was
looked up to land appealed to for aid
by the oppressed of all the world. If
it had a great navy, Mr. Hobson said,
it could easily command peace through
out the world, because no nation would
dare bid defiance to Its expressed
wishes, and its wishes, being the voice
of the people, would be in the direc
tion of peace and good will, the better
ment and uplifting of the people of
all hinds.
On Monday night, the night before
Mr. Hobson delivered his lecture.
Prince Fushlmi of Japan, the repre
sentative of the Mikado and the heir
to his throne, made his farewell ad
dress at a dinner given by the Astatic
Association at Delmonico’s in New
York city. In the course of his re
marks, he said:
"I have not failed to note that the
events of the world which have taken
place in the last few years have been
of such nature and significance as to
demonstrate with increased emphasis
that the United States occupies a po
sition so unique among the nations of
the world that it seems to me almost
as though this country, with its enor
mous power and wealth, has been es
pecially created to illustrate to all
mankind and in the end to enforce
among them the principles of justice
and fair play.”
The thought expressed by the Prince
was practically that expressed by Mr.
Hobson, and it is near the truth to say
that their view of the position of the
United States among the nations of the
world is that which is held by think
ing men the world over. If it is the
correct view it ought to have a sober
ing effect upon our statesmen, for their
responsibilities are great, and it ought
to encourage the American people to
strive for the highest ideals in their
looal governments as well as In their
national government. If they are to be
an example for the guidance of other
nations, and, at the same time, the
power to Insure peace and promote
good will among them, they must be
worthy of their high position.
PRODUCTS OF FRENZIED FINANCE.
By means of the newspapers and
magazines we are getting glimpses of
some remarkable products of fren
zied finance. The people of two world’s
have been and are still being interest
ed and amazed by the alleged revela
tions of Thomas W. Lawson in one of
the magazines. The tales he tells of
the doing of some of the best known
men in the world of finance surpass
anything that appears in dime novel
literature. If what he says of men
who control many of the banks, trans
portation lines and industrial plants of
the country is true the tribunals of
justice are not doing their whole duty.
If he Is to be believed there is more
moral rottenness among those who
pose as the best citizens than among
those who are continually under the
suspicion of the police. And Mr. Law
son admits that he speaks from expe
rience. He knows the men he is talk
ing about, he says, because he has
been associated with them in various
kinds of business transactions.
It is alleged that the recent flurries
in the stock market were the result of
the efforts of Mr. Lawson. His publi
cation in the newspapers, it is claim
ed, weakened confidence in certain
stocks, and the selling of these stocks
caused the prices of other stocks to
decline.
In some of Tuesday's New York
newspapers another phase of frenzied
finance appeared. Mr. Lawson is at
tacked in a half page article, set In
large type. The author of it apparent
ly regards himself as having been
chosen to avenge the wrongs Mr. Law
son has inflicted upon the innocent
lambs that wandered into W r all street.
He pictures Mr. Lawson as a man so
bad that he would be received into the
lower regions with fear and trembling.
He expresses the utmost contempt for
the subject of his article and de
nounces him in language of extreme
bitterness. He closes by saying he will
call personally for his answer at Mr.
Lawson’s office.
Are there going to be more phases
of frenzied finance? If so the lambs
should take warning and give Wall
street a wide berth.' The more the vo
taries of frenzied finance expose each
other the clearer it will become that
the best and happiest people are not
those who heap up millions of money
by methods of doubtful legality and
morality. ,
Senator Penrose of Pennsylvania
has introduced into Congress a bill to
make It easy for American publishers
to pirate the works of English authors
without rendering any valuable con
sideration to them. He wants to le
galize the American form of spelling
certain words, and to outlaw all books,
pamphlets or papers in which those
words are spelled in the manner in
common use in Great Britain. The
bill provides that it shall not be
(jeemed an infringement of copyright,
granted after July 1, 1906, for any per
son to reprint and republish any book,
magazine, newspaper or periodical in
which words like "harbor," "candor,”
"armor” and “honor" are spelled with
the Insertion of an "u" before the “r,”
or where such words as "recognize,”
"antagonize” and "authorize" are
spelled with an "s” instead of a “z,” or
where such words as "Inquire,” "in
close” and "Indorse” are spelled with
the Initial letter an "e,” or where such
words as "stories" and "torles" are
spelled as to the final syllable "eys;”
provided that in the reprint what is
known as the American way of spell
ing Is adopted. If almost anybody
else had Introduced such a bill It
would have been looked on as a joke.
Hut whan a Pennsylvania Republican
proposes s measure, tha public may
rest assured that there Is "something
in tt."
The New York Hoctety at Medical
Jurlsprudence at a meeting tha other
i day unanimously resolved that In fu
ture all literature of the society should
bear the title "Physician,” in place of
that at "Doctor.” The society la get-
I ting rid of a popular, dietiactive arid
' well-loved word.
The suggestion in the President’s
message, following the recommenda
tion in Secretary Metcalfs annual re
port, that the national government
assume supervision of the insurance
companies’ rates and policies, will
probably not be combatted by the
companies. Indeed, some of the
leading men of prominent companies
have expressed the opinion that It
would be a very good thing for them
to have federal supervision, since it
transpires that in many of the states
the insurance companies are already
under state supervision. And the laws
of the various states respecting insur
ance are far from uniform, hence it is
the fact that a big company doing
business in many states finds itself
under the necessity of conforming to
conflicting laws in the various states.
If there were one general law cover
ing all of the states, the companies
would be subjected to considerably
less expense and trouble.
Pistol toting, for some reason or
other, seems to be associated in the
public mind with life in the South, al
most exclusively. It is quite true that
we have too much of the evil in this
section, but it is equally true that the.
South is not the only section addicted
to the habit. In the police courts of
New York city of late almost every
person arrested and searched by the
police Is found to have a pistol con
cealed on his or her person. Under
the present law a fine of $lO is the ex
treme penalty that can be inflicted,
but a bill has been prepared for sub
mission to the next session of the
Legislature making the punishment
much more severe. If the habit of pis
tol toting could be broken up, the
courts would be much less burdened
with murder and assault cases and
the prison population would speedily
decline.
The tendency in navy building, dur
ing the recent past, has been towards
battleships armed with heavy guns.
Guns below eight inches calibre are
not at present in high favor. The fight
between the Russian and Japanese
fleets on Aug. 10 was waged at a dis
tance of three aVid three-quarters to
four miles. The lighter guns were
practically useless; it was only the
monsters of the armaments that did
execution. In t’he Santiago battle, dur
ing the Spanish-American war, it was
the eight-inch and six-inch guns that
did the execution, but in the Far East
it seems the ten-inch and twelve-inch
pieces have demonstrated their right
to be considered of first importance.
It is regarded in Washington as
certain that Judge Swayne will
be able to continue in his
office as federal judge for the
northern district of Iflorida for at least
another year, notwithstanding the im
peachment proceedings taken by the
House; unless there should be called
an extra session of Congress. The
Senate, it is said, cannot take up the
case at the short session without side
tracking important appropriation bills.
The Swayne casef*‘therefore, will
have to be carrleij tWfcr, and It is by
no* means certain that It could toe
reached by the Senate in a year’s
time.
An Indiana legislator has proposed
a law to prevent fools from marry
ing. Presumably application for a li
cense will be accepted as circumstan
tial evidence tending to prove the dis
ability of the applicant.
PERSONAL.
—Queen Victoria’s correspondence
was so voluminous that it will not be
possible to make It ready for publica
tion before 1906. The volumes are to
be illustrated by various unpublished
portraits of eminent public charac
ters.
—The current discussion of divorce
and the need of national legislation
on the subject recalls Susan B. An
thon’s remark, made several years ago,
“The divorce court,” said she, "is to
the American woman what Canada
was to the fugitive slave in years gone
by.”
BRIGHT BITS,
—Mrs. Casey—‘‘An’ wot be ye goin’

O’Toole —"Well, we intinded him fer a

bricks while the last stroike was on
that now Tim is goin’ to have him
train for a bail player.”—Cincinnati
Commercial Tribune.
CI'RRKVT COMMENT.
The Philadelphia Record (Dem.) says:
“It makes very little difference to the
country or to the course of Justice
whether Judge Swayne. of Florida, has
charged expenses that he never incur
red in holding court outside his dis
trict. Improper as it would be, it would
only amount to a" srrVall robbery of the
government. But this is the charge on
which lawyers believe his Impeach
ment is most likely to be ordered by
the House and sustained by the Senate.
The really serious charges against him
'are acts of partiality and injustice, but
the lawyers say that it 1s difficult to
make crimes out of these or to secure
the removal of a Judge for misdeme
anors.”
The Louisville Courier Journal (Dem)
says: "The principles of the old party
of Thomas Jefferson will survive in
this country so long as It shall remain
a republic, and they will inspire some
political party, whether that party be
called Democratic or by some other
name. If there are wise Democratic
leaders at Washington they will see to
It tlfat It shall be the first aim of the
Democrats In Congress to uphold those
principles, rather than to flock on any
side of any principle for the sole pur
pose of helping along a Republican
split. Republican splits are to be de
sired, but only in the event that they
ofTer a chance for the restoration of
the Democi'atlc party, not ae a party
of opportunism, but of Democracy.”
The Baltimore Herald (Ind.) says:
“It Is a thousand pities that the deepen
ing and and widening of rivers and
harbors oannot be undertaken in a
proper epirit; a thousand pities that
every attempt at legieistlon should be
a roll (till for govermental extrava
gance. We need larger end deeper har

The Secret f Good Times.
It was a rainy evening toward the
end of the summer, says the Youth's
Companion, and "the crowd” —the four
or five families of friends who had
been spending a month together among
the Vermont hills—had gathered about
the Delands’ open fire. Something—
perhaps it was the combination of the
rain without and the glowing fire with
in, perhaps it was the thought of au
tumn and work —seemed to put every
body in a reminiscent mood, and for
an hour or so the talk ran upon the
doing of their nearly ended holiday.
“If holidays couid only last forever!"
Maud Hastings sighed.
“Then they wouldn't be holidays,”
somebody retorted, quickly.
"What makes good times, anyway?"
someone else asked.
Their hostess rose with an exclama
tion of pleasure.
"What a fine question!” she exclaim
ed. "There are pencils and paper right
here. Suppose we each answer it, or
try to, and then we’ll read the an
swers aloud. Each one may name three
requisites for a good time.”
The plan “toqk” at once, and for a
few minutes pencils were busy; then
the papers were collected and read,
aloud. The answers, as was to be ex
pected, revealed very diverse tempera
ments. The curious thing was that a
most unexpected process of elimina
tion began with the reading.
“’A book and a shady nook,’ and
time to enjoy them,” was the first
response.
“A book and time to read it would be
enough," someone amended.
“Oh, just a book!” a third corrected.
“Sometimes I think you enjoy it most
if you can steal only a few minutes at
a time.”
‘‘Health, a fine day, and all the world
before you," another read, to be an
swered by a chorus of protests over
the fine day. Did they not often have
their best times on rainy ones? And
a fragile girl in the corner added
softly, “You don’t even have to wait
for health.”
So the papers went on, and finally a
vote was taken, and the things most
conducive to good times were decided
to be a happy heart, friends and na
ture. It was the girl in the corner
w “° made her discovery then.
’’Why," she exclaimed, “I’ve so been
pitying people who couldn't go away
for vacations, but after all. the best
three things are within reach of every
body if he wants them enough.”
The hostess, gathering up the scat
tered papers, smiled as if something
had pleased her.
Mr. CurncKle's Prize Letter.
Andrew Carnegie is the best adver
tised of all the world’s big bugs just
now, and physically he Is about the
smallest of them all, says the New
York Press. He is so short that a
man of five feet seven inches—the av
erage American stature—looks giant
esque beside him. Since he began try
ing to give away his income he has
received more than 3,000,000 begging
letters, and his Wealth Distribution
Bureau is an overworked institution.
Of all these communications not more
than two or three in a thousand ever
reach his eye. There is one which he
treasures as his prize letter. It is
framed in bog oak and hangs in the
library of Skibo Castle.
To a village In Massachusetts the
great ironmaster presented a pipe or
gan, which was pronounced very fine.
The first recital stirred the whole
county. Some months later Mr. Car
negie was urged to contribute toward
the improvement of the waterworks
system of the village, whereupon, feel
ing himself imposed upon, he replied
wrathfully through his private secre
tary that he thought it as little as
the community could do to take care
of Its own corporate necessities; that
it was to the moral and physical wel
fare of the people to improve their
waterworks themselves, etc. The an
swer to this letter by the authorities
of the village contained this state
ment:
“Our waterworks was entirely sat
isfactory for all our needs until you
give us that splendid organ. We find
now that the pressure ain’t sufficient
to pump the organ, and thought you’d
like to assist us in purchasing anew
boiler.”
Hypnotized Finance.
The President of the National Bank
of Allthetin sat in his private office.
The door opened and a veiled woman
entered, says the Portland Oregonian.
“I want to borrow $1,250,000,” she
whispered.
"Wave you any security?” asked the
President. “Merely as a matter of form,
I assure you,” he hastened to add, as he
thought he detected signs of weeping
behind his visitor’s veill.
“Oh, do you want security?" asked
the woman. “Give me a piece of p'aper
and a pen.”
She wrote a few words and presented
the paper to the President.
“Ah, Carnegie’s note for $5,000,000.”
he exclaimed. “Are you sure the signa
ture is genuine?”
"Sure, Mike,” responded the mysteri
ous stranger; “didn’t you see me white
it?”
“Certainly, certainly. A million and
a quarter, I think you said. Nothing
more to-day? No? Glad to oblige you
at any time. Good day; don’t forget the
number."
An Editor'* Trouble.
The physical infirmary of Gomer
Davises, of Concordia is well known to
his brother editors, says the Kansas
City Journal. One of his legs is off at
the knee. He will not wear a cork sub
stitute, but contents himself with a
wooden peg. on which he stumps around
most cheerfully. It cannot be denied,
though, that he has considerable trouble
with his artificial limb. In the early
days of the Republican Valley the only
timber available was green cottonwood,
and Davises had to carry a pruning
knife and trim off the sprouts on his
leg whenever it catne wet weather.
Now he is In trouble again—which same
he recounts as follows:
“When a young schoolm’am gets in
oculated with the fad of pyrography it
is hard to stay to what extent it will
take her. She wants to burn all sorts of
pictures on all sorts of bric-a-brac and
furniture, and we know a man who ha*
to hide his wooden leg every night to
keep his daughter from burning pic
tures of a small, snake or some other
such reptile on it while he sleeps."
A Prayer for It a In. With (inallllrn
t lon*.
"The people of my state are firm be
lievers In the efficacy of prayer,” says
Representative Oaines of Tennessee,
acording to the Nashville Banner. "I
am reminded of a little thing which
happened during the days when the
North and South were peppering away
at each other.
"It was at a religious gathering In
one of Ihe rural dietrlcta during the

All Humors
Are impure matters which the skin,
liver, kidneys and other organa can
not take care of without help, there is
such an accumulation of them.
They litter the whole system.
Pimples, boils, eczema and othei
eruptions, loss of appetite, that tired
feeling, bilious turns, fits of indiges
tion, dull headaches and many other
troubles are due to them.
Hood's Sarsaparilla
and Pills
Remove all humors, overcome all
their effects, strengthen, tone and
Invigorate the whole system.
“I had salt rheum on my hands so that I
eould not work. I took Hood’a Sarsaparilla
and it drove out the humor. I continued
Its use till tne sores disappeared.” Mas.
Iba O. Baowrf, Rumford Falls, Me.
Hood's Sarsapariha promises to
cure and keeps the promise.
