New York and Chicago are run nlng a neck and neck race for the crime pennant. The new directory of Chicago gives It a population of 2,376,000. St. Louis has not verified these figures as yet. It’s all right If some Ill-advised friend of John Sharpe's don't try to boom him for the presidency. Sharks have been seen off Ferry Bar at Baltimore. Tho other kind Is too numerous about tho streets of the Oriole City to cause comment. A genuine diamond mlno has been discovered In Arkansas.

Now, It the pnblic would form a combination to avoid the loan sharks, It would be something like. The esteemed New York Evening Post, If It wasn't so busy correcting faults of the South, might find some thing for comment In the Gotham sit uation jJ»t now. In a speech In Rusbvllle, Ind., Uncle Joe Cannon declared that he was going to keep his face toward the east, lie might have added "and my ear to the ground.” - With no desire to start trouble, but simply as a passing observation, we arise to say no distinguished gentle man has expressed s desire for ob livion via the vice presidential route. The Charleston News and Courier can turn a compliment adroitly when It chooses. Wishing, for some rea son, to curry favor with The Post, of Buffalo Bayou, The News and Courier asserts that Houston looks very much Uke Atlanta. The Post would probably have been as red- beaded os some of its muchly exploit ed sorrel-top widows if The News and Courier had said Houston looked like Charleston. IS THE TECH OP ANY USE TO GEORGIA? Is the Tech of any use to Georgia? If so, why does It have each a hard row to hoe financially? Why does the state make It plug so hard for itsel(? * Tho Georgia School of Technology Is educating 562 men at a cost to the state of $65,000, or less than $100 a year for each man. The Massachusetts Institute of Technology Is educating 1,327 men at a cost to the state of $530,000—nearly $500 per man, or $5 to every $1 that Or. Matbeson uses of Georgia's money. , New England Is where wo are to bring our cotton mills from. Cotton mills are our stock In trade, and we must do better than they can. If we are to bring thla all-important Industry to the South. Is It that Georgia's boys are - worth only $1 to Massachusetts’ $5, and are worthy qf only one-fifth the help? Is It reasonable to think that wo can ever fight the mountain high advantages they have of years of prosperity—established mills—and educated men, unless we have tho brains with which to do the work? Let's go a little deeper Into the question and see Just what's the matter. Sitting In the House of Representatives one day this week talking to one of our leading Representatives, while the school section of the general tax act was being discussed, the gentleman said to use “Why, the Tech graduates this year cost tho state nearly $1,000 apiece— that’a too much.” Figuring about 65 or 60 graduates, and the state approprlgtlon at $55,000, It would make $1,000 each for graduates. But—the Tech Is ed ucating 562 men—practical, real education—and here are the facts that wo called to the gentleman’s attention: The Tech Is educating Georgia boys—poor boys—the sons of the wealthy Study law and medicine—the poor ones hard work—educating Georgia boys to operate cotton mills so the folks In Georgia will have money to pay the lawyors and doc tors. To educate a boy to run a cotton mill tho Tech' has to have hun dreds of thousands of dollars' worth of machinery. He can not learn to operate a 50,000-splndle mill from books; a 300-horse power steam plant has to be fed with hundreds of tons of coal to make tho power and light; a blacksmith shop with scores of forges has to be operated every day; a carpenter shop with a thousand tools Is absolutely neces sary. I)ut how can a classically educated man who has never known tho prico of a pair qf overalls nor washed tho grease and grime from his hands know bow to' compare books with tools and things. One Is theoretical; the other practical—one the bone qnd sinew of our material welfare; the other a necessary evil There Is absolutely no compari son between the Tech and any other place of learning In tho South. Our prosperity depends upon tho men who -come from It; it Is the nucleus of every bank account; It Is the source of every river of Indus try; It is tbo only place In the South where men are taken from the farm and turned out with a full and sufficient equipment of actual prac tical knowledge that fits him to step Into the cotton mill and direct the many and Intricate processes to the end that Georgia can vie with the world competitively for this our one greatest monopoly. So few mon ever stop to think how great a monopoly the ' South holds In the cotton Industry. Have you forgotten that during the war, when cotton was neglected, the whole civilized world practically famine- stricken for cotton, united In a mighty effort to grow cotton in their own countries and colonies? Have you forgotten how England tried all parts of India and Ceylon? How Germany tried Africa and other tropical countries, and how Egypt, with Its little greon strips along the sides of the Nile, can. only be a drop In the bucket, and then when all efforts had failed how they acknowledged that they must look to us for tho cotton of the world? ' Yes, this Is all true. Tho red hills of Georgia that some would scorn have no counterpart In the world. Holland has Just the same kind of a monopoly with qutnlno In the Island of Java—200 Inches of rain a year; 3,000 feet'altitude; lava soli; 90 to 100 degreoa tempera* ture—are tho Idenl conditions under which this all-important life-saving drug thrives. And so far are we from finding similar conditions any where else In tho world, that Java rolls In tho wealth of Its qutnlno when It Is sold at 20 cents an ounce, while It used to bring $20 before Java grew It. We have as sure a monopoly. Iron Is not confined to any one locality; It Is found all over tho world—when a Pittsburg is built on It, a Birmingham looms Into view; whon Ohio spuria oil from Its rocks and htlla and give* the basis of a great wealth, Texas and Virginia and Canada and a thousand other places one by one come to share the glory of the pioneer, and, worst of all, a great death-dealing monster called tho Standard Oil Company, lays down Its pipes and sucki tho life blood thousands- of njllea to. their caves in tho rocks, where they make or ruin any section as. It obeys or dlsoboys. Not so with cotton. God mado It to grow In soil like ours. Ten thousaud Luther Burbanks can not change that feature of Its nature— it can not be sucked through underground pipe lines and controlled with a minimum of labor—Its greatoat value Is given to It by human hands with tho aid of tho Bwlft flying shuttle. Monopolies may control It They can not take it from us. A Croesus with It In his hand would the sooner put every mill In the cotton field, but who would stand In the way? Only the law-maker, who does not know a shuttlo from a splndlo, who holds up his hands and says, “Oh, It Is too much) Too much! we need lawyers; wo need doctors; wo need classics, and art and music!” Wo say rot; wo cry nonsonse. Give us a thousand boys a yoar with which to equip the mills of Georgia, and we will glvo you the art, the classics and tho preachers and the churches and tho schools and the homes to make our millions glad. Give us us a heritage tho cotton mills on a thousand hills, and you will bless ages .yet unborn. Starve out the boys at tho Georgia Tech, who are roomed and boarded at a little over $8 a month, because the state can not appreciate what la being done by tho quiet, atruggltng band of manhood that learns to build, and not to apoak, that learns to guide and not to choose, and our children will cry out In ages to come because of tho mistake of both tbo heart and tho hand of the most favored people that e'ver trod tho footstool of God. Give the boys their rights—they'll pay It back a thousand-fold. sessed of a moderate ability In any given line, to achieve success If he Is possessed of tho ‘‘open sesame” of the combination of words that we are today studying./ Study the lives of the men who have made failure of life, ship wreck of opportunity, and you find that their failure Is wrapped up In one of tbo two last words that you are now thinking about They have lacked reliability. They have failed In stability. You today are wondering why you do not succeed, why It Is that others with less natural ability than yourself are forging to the front while you are being left In the rear. You have ability. Yes! Have you reliability? Can your employer trust you? Aye, can you even trust yourself? Have you stability, tho power to begin, continue, and then hang on? Ability, reliability, stability. Ponder tbeso words; Think about them. Let them abide with you. These are tallsmanlc words. The absorption of thofr purpose and spirit Into your life will bring you to tl\e wide open gates of a successful life. MADD0X-RUCKER BANKING CO.

A SATURDAY EVENING. Read these three words—ability, reliability, stability—aloud. Paate them In your hat;* placo them on your mirror; bury them deep In your heart. Think about them. Memorixo them. Let each of them glvo you Its peculiar message. Ability Is talent. Reliability Is honesty. Stability Is consecration. When you have honestly consecrated-your talent to the end In view,, there Is little danger that you will fall lu the accomplishment of that purpose. Noarly all men have ability In some direction. Every man knows bow to do some one thing well. "Jimmie,” the office boy, and "Kit tle," the stenographer, have their varying abilities, which, It pursued, would lead them to success. Reliability Is not quite so common a possession, thoukh men In the mass are, as a rule, reliable. The majority of men are not thieves. You can trust nine men out of qvery ten. But when you come to hunt for the men who use their ability lo dependable ways they may not be so easy to find. Stability Is a rare gift. Few men possess the spirit and the determi nation to stick to one thing until the last gun Is fired. Stlck-to-lt-lve- uess Is not found In every life. Most men are desultory In their work, Jumping from one thing to the other, wondering why they do not at tain. Have you studied that word, desultory? It comes to us through the Latin, and In It there Is the picture of a goat on the hillside, jump ing from cliff to cliff In search of green grass, but never tarrying long enough to nibble and eat all there Is In the place where at present he may be resting. Men are like the goat—capricious—that Is, the majori ty of them. They leap from one thing to the other. They fall to stick. They are finicky. They lack mental balance and the quality of soul that enables them to extract from the work In hand all of Ita advan tages, opportunities, blessings and harve'ats. They are like the boys gathering blackberries; they are not content to exhaust the possibili ties of one patch before they Jump to the next. The possibility of the next Is of greeter attractive power than the certainty of the present. Many a man has the ability to win for himself a competence, even from unfavorable surroundings, who can not be trusted to remain with the stuff. Many a man la thoroughly tellable, but lacks stability, the heroic soul and quality to "fight It out on this line If It takes all sum mer." 1 * Never was there such opportunity for the young man of today, pos- A8K8 INFORMATION A8 TO TRAVELING AGENT8' TAX. To the Editor of The Georgian; I note on pago 9, of the morning edition of today's Georgian that In the general tax act a tax of 160 for each county operated In Is put on "traveling agents." wlab to ask you to publish this nnil your reply, stating Just the pur pose and scope of this Item: "Travel ing agents of what?' Peddlers carrying their goods with them7 Salesmen?" I am willing enough to pay a reason able tax, but when we go through some of the counties In the state and only strike one or two towns stxeablo enough to work (and we do not leave tho rail road In many of the counties for buggy trips). It looks to me like tho acme of Injustice to expect us to pay a tax of 150 for such a county. Why. a year’s profits out of somo counties would not pay the tax. Please glvo us your fepty to this through the columns of The Georgian, for I am sure there are hundreds of "traveling agents" In tho state who will ring In their protest Yours very truly, C. L.
