I was a boy, and with several others had gotten a rood knot-hole In the fence, and I was glued tn that hole. The hones were trying to get started and everything was excitement. I pressed closer to my knot-hole, when suddenlv I felt a terrible kick from behind, an.l 1 went up that fence so fast that It peeled the skin off my nose, and 1 heard a familiar voice Bay, 'Darn you. give me that knot-hole!’ 1 looked and saw that It was my father who hail my knot-hole—I didn’t wait to see the race."—Our Country.

REMOVING THE TARIFF FROM POLITICS. Lieutenant Governor C’hanler of New York made a strong plea at our Georgia State Fair for taking the tariff out of politics. And It was well nnd heartily received by the great Georgia audience that heard him.' The idea Is growing apace. The chief of the Bureau of Manufactures, of the Department of Commerce and Labor, Major John M. Carson, in discussing the tariff question with a representative of American Industries, calls attention to the various corpB of tariff experts maintained by Germany, Great Brit ain and France which really have the functions of a tariff commission. "In either the foreign offices or in one of their departments, usually called a 'Bureau of Intelligence,”’ says Major Carson, "there Is engaged, hard at work during every month of the year, a. corps of experts upon tariffs. These are men engaged because of their specialized knowledge of particular Industries, as well as because of their acquaintance with the customs duties of other countries, ft Is their business to make themselves acquainted with the effect upon export aud import trade of every change In customs duties and all proposed changes, tn their own parliaments or In others. For example, you may wonder why Great Britain, a free trade country, should employ a whole staff of experts on tariff. The reason Is while the British government clings to the policy of free trade. It has every reason in the greater part of all the world to know precisely what duties and customs regulations arc to be Imposed In various countries upon its exports. Upon the other hand. France, Germany and Belgium have every reason to know precisely how any proposed change In their customs duties may affect Imports and what ef fect they may have upon exports. "This work can not bo done by any temporary commission nor can It bo done by any committee of any legislative body that ever existed. It Is a task that must he accomplished by men trained In the details ot the various Industries In which each country Is especially Interested, In which most of Its capital Is invested, In which most of its labor Is em ployed, and In which most of Its revenue, It It tie a tariff-levying country, Is most interested. “It seems to me a very reasonable proposition that the government of the United States, whose export trade has Increased so enormously within the last decade, and which contains possibilities of - production far exceeding the prospects of domestic consumption, and, therefore, de manding foreign markets, should create such a bureau of experts, thoroughly qualified to advise committees of congress or the executive as to the offeet of any proposed changes In customs schedules. It may not be possible to calculate these exactly, oven with experts; at least a scientific approximation can be made, which would have Us weight In the consideration of any tariff legislation nnd which would certainly have a strong beurlng upon. Bny decision by such a soml-judtclal board of tariff commissioners, corresponding In some degree to the Interstate commerce commission, as Is proposed by the National Association of Manufacturers." JAPAN HAS STUDIED OUR NAVY AND TALKS OF LASTING PEACE. And now conies from the Far East the statement that Japan wants a lasting peace with America. Ev6n so let It be. America wishes peace with all natlous and entangling alliances with none. But let It not ho forgotten that the aspiration that has come for peace between these two countries, America and the over-praised little empire of Japan, comes from the sight of the big ships of the republic and of the big guns that man their decks. It is all very well to fling the charge of "jingoism" at thoBe who speak of the possibilities of war. It is one ot the pet expressions of an ultra-conservatism to protest any discussion of war with a foreign country. And we arc quite sure that no people In America desire a war with a foreign country now or at any other time. But every man who knows and realizes that Japan has been arrogant and nagging In the ex treme toward the United States so long as Its Pacific coasts were un guarded by a great and puissant fleet, and any man who reads must real ize that since the Amorlcan squadron has been headed for the Pacific nets, and since tho might nnd the force of Its ships has been blazoned to the world, there has been n complotc revolution In the attitude and In the public expressions ot Japan. The president of -the United States has net In all his great career done a wiser thing than in throttling this spirit of aggression and this talk of strife between America and Japan by tho cruise of tho Atlantic squadron In tho Pacific seas. There was not a threat expressed or veiled, but It wns'slmply a democratic and diplomatic demonstration of tho »a- al majesty of this great republic, nnd Japan, which must never he charged with anything less than discretion and good sense, has been In telligent enough to appreciate tho meaning and the possibilities of such a cruise. Hobson, of Alabama, must be credited, too, In part with this vigor ous policy which has hushed tho war notes In the East. Hobson has been roundly rated as a jingo, but ho has told the truth from the condi tions which, as an nccbhlpllshed sailor and naval officer, he saw and understood, and tho truth which has como to him from a knowledge of tho conditions about the suite department at Washington. Hobson as nn agitator has done as much ns any other force to in spire Roosevelt as an executive to the magnificent naval demonstration which has sent to Its holes the war party In Japan, and which now In duces the Japanese minister Hayashl to speak for hts country the aspira tion toward a lasting peace. * Jingoism has Its Uses as well as conservatism, that Is If Jingoism consists of a timely and fearless agitation ot Impending danger, and the jingoism of Hobson and of Roosevelt has been richly vindicated In the tranquil note which has fallen upon tho foreign expressions and foreign policies ot the empire ot Japan. TOM JOHNSON ONE OF THEM. Our busy friends among the psragraphers take so much delight In twisting every favorable comment made by The Georgian upon public men Into a nomination for the presidency, that It Is with almost timid hesitation that we refer once more to the splendid victory of Tom John son In Ohio. Certainly no man In this changing era of public life has held his grip upon public confidence more strongly than the stalwart Kentuckian, who has made his home In tho chief city of Ohio. Ilut there Is no doubt that Tuesday’s elections project Tom Johnson in very largo and wholesome linen upon the Democratic horizon. Wo do not bold It to lie likely (hat he will be the Democratic nominee for president. Rut there can be no doubt that the prestige of a fourth very remarkable success joined to the strong and masterful qualities which he has always Illustrated, make him a very Interesting figure anti a very proper subject for discussion and consideration among the i>ossl- hlllties of the next national convention. The big mayor of Cleveland would be a second "strong man in the White House’’ beyond a doubt If he could get there. And there would he no doubt or uncertainty as to his policies and no lack of courage and definiteness In the execution of popular reforms. He has always had convictions and the courage of them, and withal he bears himself with such wholesome vigor, with such hreexy Individuality and with such splendid good humor antld all the details of life that we can not fail to see how his presidential qualities might pasa from the desirable Into the ideal. As the matter stauda, a gentleman who tlvca In Lincoln. Nebr., seems to hnve a strangle hold upon the next nomination of his party, but in case he should voluntarily or Involuntarily relax this grip. It Is jierfectly plain to see that there are a multitude ot good strong whole some figures in the Democratic ranks and that Tom Johnson of Cleve land is unquestionably one of them. and make one sorrowful and at unrest until the}- have had their answer. This Is tue mountain of discontent which confronts the editor of The Georgfan In the closing hours of his connection with the desk which has been his citadel and his refuge for these later years. There are no mere words that can answer the kindliness, the greeting and the Inspiration of these hundreds of letters which have piled high upon the editorial desk. In breaking up a home that has been built through fifteen years of accumulation and In settling oneself In a new home in which every condition is absorbing, It Is utterly Impossible that these letters can be answered in the time allotted by courtesy and Inspired by grateful ap preciation. Utterly unable to answer the rolling flood cf personal correspond ence we rest upon the knowledge of our friends that we are grateful and remember. May we ask once more our friends to receive through these col umns the expressions of heart-felt appreciation which must necessarily he too long delayed In actual acknowledgment. ’Gratefully and cordial ly we thank the writers and have laid aside these charming and helpful messages for the comfort and solace of later and perhaps less active years. Wo send hack to each and every one of them who have speeded us on our way with so much of Inspiration, the sincere and unfeigned ac knowledgments of a gratitude that will endure.

Ambition em phasise* tho children's stundlir: In school nnd designates for them the umit suitable future vocations. A very desirable form of knowledge Is a Just appreciation of one’s abilities, but there Is no greater hindrance to self-improvement than nu exaggerated Idea of personal Im portance. As greatly to lie toured, how ever, Is the great lack of self-coutldeuce, for It Is unquestionable that too great a consciousness of one's frailties undermines that active heroism which battles against the wrong. Youth Is not In Itself particularly hope ful. Childish griefs seem more serious aud more final, because there are no memories of outlived sorrow to overcome disappoint ments, to hMp and encourage future strug- 5 1 es. 8o by properly encouraging ehfl* ren’s hopes and successes one cultivates and stimulates ambitious for the future.

Tho truly, honestly ambitious man con siders a problem from every possible stnnd point, nnd knowledge thus ohtnlned through careful analysis and Investigation can be rendered valuable In almost every phase of life and Is about the only capital that can not In* lost. The word ambition is frequently abused by attributing to It merely selfish motives for personal prominence, whereas to all broad-minded men, such as the heroes of the past and present, the welfare of their country nnd Its people must hnve been their snperlntlve ambition, otherwise their suc cesses could not hnve hern so general.

It does not say one shall not ateal. or a corporation shall not ateal; or stealing may not be done except for a good purpose from one careless of or Indif ferent to or Ignorant of, the existence of property.

The girl, who had Just como to the college from her country home, did not know the workings of an in terior electric system. With her roommate away, she pre pared for tod alone with tho. light burning. The glare disturbed Iter rest and she decided to hide Its usefulness.
