A bulletin Issued by the United States Forest 8orvlce oay* that the aerrlce haa been studying the shingle problem along with that of the preser vation of farm timber. It Is found that shingles treated with creosote by a special process, which the service has Invented, warp little and decay slowly because water Is kept out of tho tissues of the wood. One such roof will outlast two or three left In the natural atate to curl, spring leaks and faU to pieces. A roof of that kind costs a little more at first, but It Is cheaper In the long run. Woods which are usually classed as inferior, such as loblolly pine, beech, sycamore and others which are quick-decaying, readily take the preservative treat ment and are given a largely In creased value. The preserving ap paratus la neither expensive nor hard to operate. One outfit will serve sev eral farmers. The main Items are an Iron tank (an old cnglno holler will do), with a preservative fluid In It mil a Are under It, and another tank of cold preservative. The shingles or other woods to be treated arc im mersed for a sufficient time in the hot creosote, and then In the cold. Full details of (he opcrutlun are given to applicants for Information by the Forest Service at Washington. French troops killed thirty Moor, but that Isn't more than necessary to stop the trouble.

Atlanta will slip Into the new year and total abstinence without a jolt or a single misstep In the onward and upward march. If this prohibition wave keepe up George Bailey will have to further curtail bis Itinerary and remain an chored In grandoldtoxas. If Jim Riley had only thought and made It read, "When the frost Is on the collsrd," Instead of punkln, he would have been Immortal now. So far the gage of tattle laid down by The Georgian regnrdlng the supe riority of the Georgia cuiiard has not been taken up by any outsider. Any married man can tell you that the financial tightness, so far aa he Is Individually concerned, will be Jarred loose when the Christmas blits begin coming In. It Is officially denied that the Meth odist Conferences have caused the scarcity of chickens. In fact Atlanta establishes the fallacy of the Idea with a big poultry show. Those who have been skeptical as to the ultimate success of Atlanta In rsttlng a pump ahonld retreat In fact It Is expected that some action dll be taken before many months. WHY THE EXPENSIVE PUMP? Bids opened Monday show a difference of approximately one hun dred thousand dollars between the two types of pump offered Atlanta— aay $40,000 for the centrifugal or turbine pump and $140,000 for the old- fashioned kind—and It seems to be the opinion that our pump commit tee Jean toward the $140,000 variety. Of course, the dear people put these gentlemen at the helm of onr pump problem and the latter have studied pumps until they should almost bo able to build one, but to the casual observer and the disinterested citizen who foots his share of the tax bill, ft seems perfectly sane to wonder why Atlanta should pass up the modern amT take the antique to the tune of $100,000. Since Tho Georgian last alluded to this topic editorially, and at tempted to explain In every-day language the difference between the two methods of pumping water, wo have seen the greatest examples of the turbine method exceed alt world's records. It will bo remembered that tho turbine pump works on the same theory as do tho turbine engines that drive the two largest ships In the' world—the Lusitania and tho Mauretania. These ships cost up In the neighborhood of $10,000,000 each —they had to be especially designed for the new type of engine they use. If they were failures It would Involve a loss of from two to three millions of dollars to change them to the old style engine. They have made speeds beyond all reason to expect, and have given comfort to the passengers, because of their lack of vibration. The Eng lish government, probably tho most conservative force In the world to day, furnishes the money for these ships under a subsidy arrangement. If Great Britain can see her way clear to trust In tho neighborhood of $20,000,000 to the turbine theory, as she Is doing In warships and ocean liners—If the cities of Buffalo. Brooklyn and a number of others larger than Atlanta not only have turbine pumpB, but are buying more—then, In the name of all that's good and sensible, why should Atlanta spend $100,000 for tradition's sake? Porslbly some one can tell us—we hope so. THE TEOH THANKS YOU FOR THE BOOKS. Miss Hammond says they are ao much obliged out at the Tech for the books they recolved through the "book shower,” and her only regret la that the book shower bad to compete with other showers on the day It took place. Of course, they did not get as many books as they would have received had the day been clearer and friends could have gone out. Tho new library Is simply beautiful—It Is simple and dignified, but so cheorfu! that one dislikes to go away from It. This, no doubt, 1$ as large ly due to the gracious cordiality of the two slaters of ono of Georgia's most beloved families who reign as hostesses over the place as to any thing clsoi but whatever goes to make up its charm, whether It bo our love for tho great Institution, or wbat not, let’s go out and see ths place and possibly take a walk through the school, whero they learn by doing. They need more books, and If anybody has a book he or she would like to give to Tech, and happens to bo coming down town, Just leave It with the boy at tho desk In Tho Georgian office, 23 Alabama street, and we will see that It reaches Its destination. KILLED PLAYING IN THE STREET. People wore horrified at the death of Buford Bailey, who was run over by a trolley car on Sunday. The blame does not appear to have been chargeable to the motor- man, for the evidence indicates that the boy was playing In tho streot and ran from Itt front of one car and was struck by another coming from the opposite direction. The reason we take It upon ourselves to speak of this editorially Is to coll attention to the fact that there Is no low to prevent children play ing In the public streets, mid this, of course, makes It Impossible for the police to keep children off the thorougbfnros. Some people really believe the police have this power, but wo wonder If they think that, even It there were such a law, pollcomon could watch every child that plays on the streets. Policemen must make their beats—there are something like two hundred miles of streets In Atlanta, and it would be difficult even to have a policeman to every three to five miles on tho average. So If an accident occurs on a patrolman's beat, it is not necessarily his fault that he was not on the spot at the time. One of the disadvantages we have today Is that wo do not find It easy to change our laws Httd customs In accordance with the advancement of the times. Everything Is advancing so rapidly that It Is all wo can do to keep tip with the procession. Trolley cars replace the harmless old horse cars —automobiles tVtplace slow-moving carriages—two thousand volts of elec tricity, bonglng like a spider wob over our heads as wo walk along the streets, have replaced the old candle and lamp—and withal, there has been little or no provision mndo to guard against the evils that may come from such changes. Can not n law be passed preventing tho promiscuous playing of chil dren In- our streets, where trolley cars travel, and whero automobiles run, and thus spam the loss of life and heartaches that are caused all too fre quently? COL. ROBERT J. LOWRY’S SPEECH. At tho banquet ott Saturday night of the National Business League at Chicago, Col. Robert J. Lowry, of Atlanta, made ono of tho notable speeches of the occasion. Always a man of Infinite tact and good breed ing and representative of tho best social and business conditions of life In the South, Colonel Lowry Is oil occasions of national Import a guest whose opinions stand for much and whose loyalty to his native section can at all times be depended upon. 8atnrday night at tho Chicago banquet, Colonel Lowry had as his theme, "The South; Its Development and Its Staple Producta." Giving a history of cotton raising In the South previous to the Civil war, and of the work being done In the cotton jnllls, Colonel I-owry In eloquent terms recalled the delightful, care-free life of the Southern planter before the fateful year of 18(10. In paying tribute to the planter of that period to whom the vast possibilities of later Southern development rarely It ever occurred, Colonel I-owry refers to the fact, tho Incontrovertible fact, that the present progress and aggresslvo activities of what Is termed the “New South" la largely attributable to the splendid mental and moral at tributes of the men and women of the old South. Colonel Lowry thinks the term "New South” Is a misnomer, and In his personal efforts for the development of what Is best and worthiest In the present life of the South, has done a noble and commendable thing In telling the people of other sections of earltsr generations In this section, whose genius and character laid the foundation for the activities end the development of to day. Among other noteworthy things, Colonel Ixiwry In his address Sat urday night at Chicago, eloquently said: "We have been called the 'New South,’ which Is a misnomer. We are not the 'New South,’ for we have parted with none of onr traditions; we have lost none of our love for the ante-bellum planter and hta hospitable home; we have the same kindly feel ing for the dependent humble race, which Is our charge today, as much aa It was before 1860; we have forsaken none of the sa cred principles for which our fathers stood—we are simply the old South awoke, loyal alike to the memory of ante-bellum ease and hospitality, and to the progressive progress of today, as well aa to that .glorious emblem of liberty and fraternity, the stars and stripe*. The night has passed, and with It our slumber; with. morning, we have aroused from lethargy; we have stepped forth In the light of it bright day; we have taken our place with pro gressive sinter states of our union; we have put our shoulders to the wheel; we are pushing today toward the common destiny of u> all—solid, compact, world-renowned' and world-respected. Invin cible In war. incomparable In peace; the grandest and greatest nation on earth. • • • “It Is Inspiring to those of us who. In the upbuilding of our Southern section, have observed Its rapid commercial strides In the past, and have seen the wonderful possibilities of its future. We would doubt the sincerity of the patriotism of a man who did not have a pardonable pride In the growth of his section, and feel encouraged to greater effort by the splendid achieve ments of the past. ‘The South today la filled with the joy of present and pros pective power and prosperity, and the sends a warm greeting to all sections of this great country. Let us all Join hands and march In one solid column, united In effort, and sentiment, to our common destiny."

PEOPLE AND THINGS GOSSIP FnOM THE HOTELS AND THE STREET CORNERS Colonel Robert J. Lowry, president of the Lowry National Batik, returned to Atlanta Monday night from Chicago, where he addressed the National Bus iness League at a banquet given In that city last Saturday night. Colonel Lowry wae impressed with the financial situation rb he saw It In Chicago and expressed the opinion that In a very Short time the country will be hock on a currency basis and the certificates called In. “I would not he at all surprised,' said he, “to see cash payments resumed within a week or ten days.

Thomas E. Watson, of Georgia, will l>e a guest nt luncheon nt the White House, at which time he will communicate hi* views on the present financial situation to President lloosevelt. Sir. Watson nnd the president have ex changed some correspondence on the sub ject, *nd the famous Georgian hna heeu naked to rlslt Washington that he nnd the chief executive may talk nt length upon -the currency question. In tin Interview In The Constitution Mr. Watson is quoted us saying that Mr. Bry an's proposal "that the government shall become gr.nrnutor for bank deposits Is n monstrous preposition no long as the na tional banking system exists." lie says, according to the Interview, that the only way In which the government should guar antee deposit* Is by establishing postal savings-hanks. "When tha government hns the handling or thi* jfeposlfs,” sti/a Mr. Watson, "the government can well afford to guarantee ♦hem. but when such ravenous treasury looters an Harrlninu. Ryan, Belmont, Morse, Unitize nnd company arc In control of the Mg national banks, how can any man who claims to lie a Jeffersouinn Democrat ad vocate a government guarantee of deposit'/" Mr. Watson declares tbnt Mr. Bryan's proposal brands tho Nebraskan cn "oppor tunist. He says Bryan's proposition com mits that gentleman to tbn national bank ing system nnd to n closer alliance between the Wall street money power nnd the government. "If Brrnn wns correctly quot ed," continues Mr. Wnfson, ‘‘ho lias shown fhst be hns no right to lead a party of Jeffersonian Democrats." Concerning what he will say to the presi dent ou the financial situation, Mr. Watson Is quoted ns saying: "I will earnestly press upon the president the danger of an asset currency to l»e Issued by the national banks, nnd will urge him to recommend to congress nn act nmendntory to the art of 1862- 63 authorizing the Issu ance of at least one hllllou dollars of green backs." , Mr. Watson believes theso Civil war nets are still good law and would meet the present crisis more In the spirit of Lincoln. Jnckson. Madison nnd Jefferson, "Tho.total amount of these treasury notes authorized by act of congress <1862-'63) was $460,005,000," said Mr. Watson, who con* tinned: '•The act of April 12, 1866. provided that these note* might l»e retired to a certain extent, each month, hut this process of de- stroving the greenbacks was stopped by act of *ebrunry 4. 1SC8. The amount of notes nctnnlly burnt during this period of con- traeting wns about $44,000,000. "So matters stood until the panic of 1873. In response to the popular demand for more money, the government reissued $26.- 000.000 to take the place of the money which had l>cen destroyed. "Then. In 1875. emigres* passed nn net re quiring^ that nil the greenbacks, over and above $300,000,000. he destroyed. "fio the government went Into the money, burning business again. But the people cried out so nngrlly against the contraction- Ists that congress passed the net of l$78, requiring that whenever n greenback note was destroyed another note of the same a mount, of course, should be Issued to take It* place, "Tho total amount of the greenback money saved from destruction Is, In round mtniliers, $316,600,000. "How much of this tons been lout by fire, by flood, by the various ways In which people lose portable stuff, we have no mentis of knowing. "Now. what*!* President Roosevelt an* thorlseri by net of congress to do? Ho can follow the precedent of 1873 nnd reissue money In pine* of thnt which congress said might bo destroyed. Ho could Issue green backs to the full amount Authorised by tho acts of 1862 and 1863. "Thnt amount having lmen $450,000,000. Mr. Itoosevolt could Immediately nnd legally Issue fl03.600.00i) In greenbacks. These would ben.- no Interest, would form a p4*r- nmnent part of the currency nnd would therefore be a permanent Iwneflt to the country, "Mr. Roosevelt nnd hla advisers have evidently overlooked the act* of 1862 nnd 1863: also the precedent of 1873. The presi dent hns based his action In this crisis on tho Spanish war acta of congress." (From Tho Editor and Pubtishor.) Of all the magazine publlshera of New York, none ha« achieved greater success In the face of greater discour agement* than Frank A. Munsoy. When he arrived In New York twen ty-five years ago his sole capital con sisted of a carpet bag containing $600 worth of manuscripts and $40 in cash. At the end of four years- of killing work and braln-racklng struggle with financial problems to keep The Argosy, his first venture, afloat, he found him self $6,000 In debt. Twenty years later (1900 the net profits from his several publications wore $1,058,018.10. If you want to read one of the most thrilllngly interesting stories of a deter mined man's climb up tho hill of busi ness success, get a copy of the Decem ber number of The Argosy and read Mr. Munsoy's remarkable article giving his experiences In tho publishing field.

COLONEL GRAVES' SEND-OFF (From The Editor and Publisher.) That was a great send-off that F. L. Seely*, publisher of The Atlanta Geor gian, gave Colonel John Temple Graves, nl* A»e.wtate, on the occasion of 1:1s departure for New York to as sume edltorlul direction of T^e Amer ican. Over three hundred of the lead ing citizens of Atlanta had been Invited to attend the banquet hold tn his hon or. The speeches must have made Colonel Graves’ ears bum, they were so appreciative and complimentary. If over a man left home for a new field bearing the best wlzhc* of a greater and more representative body of. busi ness men we would like to know his name. To the Editor of Jhe Georgian: As much hns been said and written on the prohibition hill enneted Into law nt the lute session of the lealslnture, I, for one, feel thnt the people of Georgia owe n Instlnj? gratitude to the members of the house nnd seuntc who ao persistently and eloquently defended the merits of the bill, nnd to those members that said but little hut voted for the hill upon Its final passage. And we would not withhold thq encomium due our governor for bis promptness in placing Ul* signature to tho hill nnd for his utterances since, advising the people to enforce the law. And I feel that no little praise Is due The Georgian for stepping to the front in the heat of the battle and espousing the cause of state prohibition, while the other dallies of the city of Atlanta were opposlug the hill. Bnt where shall we closed this meed of praise? There I* the editor of The GoMeu Age, W. D. Fpshaw; Judge Itodenberry, Hon. Seaborn Wright, lion. W. A. Coving ton. Dr. .Solomon. J. B. Itirhnrd*. Rev. A. J. Hughes nnd others that went hither and thither and with their eloquence nnd force of reason proclaimed to thousands nnd tens of thousand* the righteousness of the cause which they had espoused. How I would like to aee their names written high upon the pinnacle of fame for the battle they so no bly fought! I lulls nnd their words of cheer nn«T their unceasing prayers for the success of the bill. Whit© nil this is refreshing uud cheer ing to those who have so long waited, bop©d and prayed for success, still we fear S rohthltlou will not prohibit unless the. rigidly enforced. In one county In uorth Georgia It Is Ixdleved that ulne- tenth* of the people within a radius of ten miles believe, and tunny of them }cnow, that a certain man Is. and hns heeu for years, dcaiiug In blockade liquor. The prosecuting attorney of the Judicial circuit In which he lives has been furnished with the names of witnesses who would testify to his guilt, nnd, strange to sny. thnt muu has escaped authorship to provide serials for his magazine, when he could not afford to buy them; of his experiments to discov er what kind of « periodical the public wanted; of his fight with the American News Company; of his launching of one publication after another until ho now has six; and, finally, of tho finan cial. rewards of his business that to day amount to over a million dollars a year. ' There are not many men—we know personally of none—who would cafe or dare to take the public Into their con fidence as Mr. Munsey has done. He gives exact figures of circulations and receipts. Ho Is not afraid to have them known. Business rivals are welcome to them. Wo can easily understand after read ing this article why Mr. Munsey stands at the head of American mngaslne pub lishers. He possesses tthe qualities of character thnt are essential to success —ability, sood Judgment, perseverance and the know-how to do things. Hs has made mistakes—lots of them; he has Inst hundreds of thousands of dol lars In publishing ventures—he dropped nearly a million on The New York Dally News; but he profits by his mis takes and smiles nt his Tosses. "If I can win five times out of seven," he once said to the writer, "1, can become a multi-millionaire." Mr. Munsey'* carcor Is one that every young man in America can study with profit. l ulled .States courts boa luul but little ef fect In the stipprese.'uu of the violation of the lyvence law. A large pertontnge of the violators have ween Imprisoned for only a few .weeks nt most, nnd go home and engage lti the same business ngaln. koine of the state courts are but lit Ho better.

The offender's attorney advleet him to plead guilty te the first offense and the Judge would dlstiil.** the oth**r ruses agnlnst Hi th© PROHIBITION ON TRIAL. To tho Editor of The Georgian: Why talk of putting prohibition "on trial" at all? Yet many seen* to think It Just nnd necessary to do this. Bnt If re put It on trial, let ns give It a fair test. Let us not expert It to destrpy entirely In one year men's' greed of gain, obliterate their perverse wills and eradicate all mor bid, mastering appetites for drink. As unreasonable ns this may sound, It Is what the liquor forcen virtually demand a* a test of problldtlon^that It shall wlp# out lu ono year erery drop of spirits nnd their effects from tho earth. This they don’t l>e- Here It will or ran do, and ao hope by such unjust test to eutbronc the liquor power again In Georgia, The enemies nnd th© misguided friends of prohibition can so use the words of our honorable and honored governor, recently uttered In n speech. The words were: "Tb© cause of prohibition will In* bn trial next year. If ws STOP tbs SALE (capital* mine), then prohibition will be s success." There Is not In wbst I am saying the In tended SEMBLANCE of an accusation of Insincerity or nnfalrnesa on his honor’s part. Yet the enemies of prohibition (same In cognito) can make bis words their wsr cry, viz,: "If w© STOP the sale," etc., and tbst "NEXT THAU” (capitals mine). But what If we don’t atop the sale next year? Mt. Sinai’s prohibition laws, which are "holy, Just am! good," have been on trial for thousands of years, and never did fully prohibit. Every lad wbo wanted to curry concealed weapons before, carries them yet. "Thieves break through and steal" ns of yore. Murder for a trifling In sult seems as prevalent n* formerly. Ro; rial Iniquity pay* little heed to the legs* veto. And yet the atate Itself would he■ t personified criminal, thief and libertine did It not legally forbid these vices, even though It does not fully prevent them. }\bo. If a majority of our citizens were in of all these glaring wrongs, would think of repealing the laws forbidding them? Prohibit doe* not neeessnrly mean fa pr©« ent. The former means to forma: toe latter means to hinder or stop. « prohibition law withholds legal sanction from a giant social and elvle wrong. It *• • •ss. If It lessen* the evil only some. It re... be an Ineffable, triumph. If It: nughiy eradicates from the blood of the race the acquired and hereditary virus, Inebriation and totally wipes the smuggling traffic from the state In two generations, though It will do this aooner. then prohibi tion will prove the crowning glory oi American achievement. vxv T.
