TUB BROOK.
S come from haunte of coot end hern;
I make a sadden enlly
And sparkle out among the fern
To bicker down a valley.
By thirty hills I hurry down,
Or ellp between the ridges.
By twenty tborpea, a little town
And half a hundred bridges
Till lait by Phlllpe farm I flow
To Join the brimming river,
Tor men may come and men may go,
But I go on forever.
In little aharpi and tral
I bubble into eddying bays,
I babble on the peublee.
With many a curve my banka I fret,
By many a field and fellow.
And many a fairy foreland set
With willow weed and mallow
X chstter, chatter aa I flow
To Join the brimming river;
Tor men may come and men may go.
But I go on forever.
X wind about, and in and out
With here e blossom sailing
And here and there a lusty trout
And hare and thare a grayling.
And hart and thare a foamy flake
Upon me, as I travel
With many a allrary water-break
Above the golden gravel
And draw them all along and flow
To Join the brimming river,
Tor men may coma and man may go,
Bnt I go on forever.
X steal by lawni and kraeay plots;
I slide by baxel covers,
X move the sweet forget-me-nots.
That grow for happy lovara;
X slip. I slid#. I gloom, I glance
Among my skimming swallows;
X make the netted sunbeam dance
Against my sandy shallows,
X murmur under moon and stars
In brambly wlldarnaiaaa;
X linger by my shingly bars,
I loiter round my creases'
And out again I curve and flow
To Join the brimming river,
Tor men may come and men may go.
Bnt X go on forevor.

Many anecdotes Illustrate the s
sacrifice exhibited by the Japanese
women throughout the recent war In
the Orient. For instance, says Th
Travel Magazine. In March. 1904, It
Koxo, a wine peddler of Akasaka. be
ing a reservist, was called to the front
leaving behind him his .10-year-old wIf*
and two children of three and six years,
respectively, without means of support
during his absence. His wife took ti|
h**r husband’s trade, and day after day
dragged a heavy cart about tin* streets
from customer to customer, feuding the
larger chUd by the band and carrying
the smaller one in, a sling across her
back. Her husband was disabled in
action In the month of August and
aent home, a cripple. Th** plucky wife,
however, was not daunted by the new
burden imposed ui*«»n her. hut carried
on the wine-peddling business, sup
porting the family by her unaided ef
forts. A little while later her husband
became ill of acute dysentery ami tin
doctor prescribed a change of climate
for him. Tbla was quite out of the
question, for the poor woman was un
able to rata* the money sufficient for
such a trip for her husband, neressar
tho It might be. The magistrate •
Akasaka, learning of her* stress, made
her a present of ten yen ($5> for this
purr#o*e; but Just at that time the gov
ernment settled a small pension on th*
disabled soldier and Kuxo's wife re
turned to the magistrate the money h»
had given her, asking him to give it
Instead, tp some family that was suf
fering like hera had been."
THE PROTEST OF THE MIDDLE WEST,
The extent of the disaffection which exlata among the Republican* of
the middle West over the present high tariff can not well be Ignored by
the parly In power. Sir. Taft’a speeches In defence of k measure with
which he haa not hesitated to express dissatisfaction have been entirely
tuo labored to produce the happy effect of pouring oil on the troubled *»•
tek. The cost of living Is an argument which can not be answered by
smoothly turned phrases.
Senator Clapp, In an able speech which he delivered In New York dur
ing the past week, forcefully stated the position which the rapidly growing
army of Insurgents In the middle West have taken.
"The real Issue In the progressive movement,” said he, "is to prevent
the extension by the government of aid to great commercial corporations
which seek to enrich themselves at the expense of the iieople."
In the opinion of the Minnesota senator there was u time when com
petition counteracted the effect of high protection, but It was past. The
difficulty now to be overcome waa combination. Moreover, he character
ised the Aldrlch-Payne tariff as the greatest Juggling of figures In the
history of the country, and he stated that tha people of Ills section were
wearying of a system of revenues which fostered the Interests of the mo
nopolist at the expense of the ultimate consumer.
Taken In connection with recent developments, the speech of (Senator
Clapp haa elicited much serious comment. Hays The Hultlmore Sun:
"The growth of tariff reform sentiment In the middle West Is one of
the most significant and Important political developments of the pres
ent time. It la a warning lo reactionary Republicans everywhere and
to the privileged beneficiaries of the Aldrich tariff that even In states
heretofore the strongholds of the Republican party protection has come
to be regarded as a cloak for privilege, Injustice and oppression. That
' there must be a new deal, and a square one, Is the demand of the progress,
tve Republicans under the leadership of Senators Clapp, Dolllver, LaFol-
lette and Beveridge and other Independents. Next November a new-
house of representatives will be elected. Legislatures are to .be chosen
In many slates to elect n I ted States senators, whose terms ^lll expire
In 1211. Minnesota is a tariff reform state; Iowa, under the Influence of
Cummins, favors tariff revision in the Interest of the consumer; In In
diana a great number of Republicans—the majority of the voters of
that party, it is estimated—asp In sympathy with the 'progressive move
ment.’ Ho it is plain that the protest of the middle West against ’undue
J,rlvlleges and unjust protection,’ If unheeded by the Influences which
now control the Republican party, can be made effective at the polls In
the November elections.
’’If the progressive Republicans of the middle West continue to maintain
an attitude of uncompromising hostility to ’t’annunism* and ’Aldrichlam’
they may succeed ultimately In eliminating these Influences from their
party, and thus prepare the way fur Jionest tariff revision either by the
Republican party or by the Democratic party reinforced by all the ele
ments which desire genuine reform of the tariff. The leaven of tariff
reform Is working mightily In the West, The political upheaval In that
quarter la most encouraging, therefore, to men of all political parties
who believe the people are entitled to relief from the burdens of unjust
and oppressive taxation for the enrichment of privileged interests.’’
There Is no doubt of the fact that the breach In the Republican ranks
la widening, but of what aval! will It be to the Democrats unless they
adjust the differences which divide them? The lime for consolidation is at
hand. Hhuulder to shoulder, under one banner, we can win.

THE ERA OF THE AUTOMOBILE.
It la estimate,! by the A»auclatl„n ,,f Llvenaeil Automobile Manufactur
ers that, nearly 115,HIM) automobiles were manufacture,! In the United States
last year, anil assuming that each machine was worth on nn average of
*2,000, the total value of the American output for the twelve months will
aggregate lit round numbers *230,000.000.
The Washington correspondent of The New York Hun cites figures to
allow that the development of tills business is without parallel In the In
dustrial history of the United States.
Kor only as far back as 120* there were lees than Il.ooo automobiles
manufactured In this country, und the Increase for seven years has been
fully tenfold.
*On Imported machines the . duty is 45 per eenf ail valorem. Last
year there were Imported* 1,045 ears valued at **,071,000, and 3,686 cars
valued at **,*20,000 were exported. Imports of automobiles were first
classified separately In 1905, when 4»6 cars valued at *1,866,400 Were
brought In. Exports were first se|>„ tnlely re|s,rted In 1006, when 1.145
cars, valued ut *1.792,200, were sold In other countries. Exports and Im
ports during the lust four years are reported thus;
Exports. Number, Value,

1909 1.645 3,071,002
Thiw* figure* ahi’W material Increase In the unit value of the cars ex
ported and a larg»- reduction In the unit value of the Import*. In fact, the
average value of exported curs Is now practically the same as the av
erage value of Imported machines. Of the 1,645 bought abroad last year
92ft came from France, 418 from Italy, 127 from Germany, and 101 from
England. The cars exported went to all the corners of the earth, to Africa,
East India and to Australia, as well as to t'anadu. Europe and South
America. Export* to the I’nited Kingdom were valued at $2,000,000, to
Canada at $2.400,000, to France at 9846.(100, to Mexico at $494,000, to South
America at $240,000, to British Australia at $303,000, and to Africa at
149,000.
The automobile Is coming into generaW use not only for purposes of
pleasure but also for commercial use, and while it Is still a luxury to
some und an extravagance to others. It Is rapidly working a revolution In
the world’s system of transportation.
And for the present wholesome agitation In favor of good roads the
country over we are pre-eminently Indebted to the automobile.

JOSEPH B.'LIVELY.
The various colonisation mid laud-division enterprises that are now In process of
development In Georgia and Alabama meau much for the pro atatea and for the
small farmer.
, Readers of the Industrial Index are prdhnliljr nwnre of the process by which
these group* of sinsll farms are placed on the market and sold. Sometime* n
large land owner decide* to divide his biddings Info tracts of SO and 100 a>-re* and
sell them to person* who haven’t the means to conduct a large plantation. Then,
again tand this l» more often the catet, some enterprising company or ayndteate
buys a big inter of land, sometimes a group of plantations, divides tt Into small
places of l‘W acre* and less, makes the needed Improvements, sivmetlnie* erecting
numbers of comfortable farm house*, then sells to thrifty farmers. Often the
farms arc sold on easy terms, amt every Inducement f« prothled for the man of
moderate means to make nn investment.
Conspicuous In the list of enterprise* Is the George W. Iteen 0 corpora lion nt
Wayrros*. Ga.. the Georgia Development Company nt Fitzgerald. Ga.. the Fruftland

THIS WEEK IN COTTON
By JOSEPH B. LIVELY.
At times tltJ* week trading In cotton has been near a standstill, tho for
th# 1 most part, while price,*? ahowed a tendency .to sag. the undertone has been
steady Jn the market for contracts. The general .situation am! outlook have
shown little change, beyond a temporary slackening In the demand for ac
tual cotton at Liverpool, where the spinners have replenished their stocks
by their recent heavy purchases, which, with a proposed increase In cur
tailment, has enabled them to withdraw from the market. There has been
some talk of a reaction In general business, but so far nothing of Impor
tance has developed in the dry goods markets or In. the business at first
hand In yarns and cloths In the principal milling of either New England or
the South. The reports current of the reaction In general trade from the
past month’s heavy*decllne In the stock market and unsettled political con
ditions and the legislation at Washington against the railroads and trusts,
of which bo many statements have been made of late, are exaggerated.
Prices were held steady until the latter part of the week on the strong sta
tistical position of the raw materia! with small fluctuations up and down,
when reports that some little cotton was being offered In the South reached 4
the market. The reports were dented, hut the market began acting tired.
1 That the small remnant of the crop should show the least signs of
weakness at this stage of the game discouraged the bulls, and on Wednes
day liquidation from this element caused a* decline of something over $1
a bale.
There w ill probably be little fresh speculation in the old crop months for
the remainder of the season. As the delivery month matures there will be,
of course, some activity, the result of notices being Issued. Notices of late
have failed to create any great excitement and. shorts generally manage to
get under cover without any great difficulty. It Is this fact that tires the
hulls and keeps the market around the 15c level in the face of a natural
corner In the market.
The week-end figures bring every Friday mute evidence of the condition
of the crop movement^pnd we have only the verbal statement of the spin
ner that trade conditions are poor. Every external evidence favors the Idea
that America has no idea of quitting business: In fact, outside of a limited
area Influenced by the fears and frailties of Wall Street, the country
seems td be upqn a very prosperous footing. The speculative Interest In
cotton has narrowed to such an extent that very few houses arc carrying
more than 25 per cent of the long interest that they had when the 16c level
was reached many weeks ago, and the elimination of this long Interest
leaves as sellers of cotton only those who have the cotton without a hedge
thereon, or else some one who Is able and willing to commit himself to the
short side of the market In the face of a statistical position almost un
equaled In history, when supply and demand are both considered. Every
legitimate Influence favors a further rise In values, and the crop prospect
for the coming year is being seriously lessened by the continuation of unde
sirable weather In that section wherMt Is most needed. The small showers
that have fallen have not served to furnish more than surface moisture,
which Is blown away In a day.
It is still much too early to discuss the .new crop season. There was,
however, every indication from the record-breaking sales of fertilizer* re
ported by traveling men to the fertilizer companies doing business in the
Carollnas. Georgia and Alabama, and also tho record-breaking sales of mules
at Nt. Louis and the Atlanta district, that planters Intend putting in the larg
est acreage for the new crop on record. Moreover, much new land Is likely
to be opened up In Oklahoma and north Texas, and even as far as the lower
California valley there is talk of devoting some land to cotton. So far.
th»* season In the ground from the winter’s moisture has been good In all
the states except Texas, which is still on* 1 to two Inches behind the normal
winter’s rainfall. Koine land has been broken up In southwestern Texas for
the now crop planting, but It will bo a week or two before such operations,
even In the extreme southern part of that section, will he under way.
Planting In the northerly districts of the state will not become general for
a month, and this work jvlll not be finished In the northwestern part un
til about the end of April.

The Anesthetist
Perhaps the most potent factor in the prog
re** of tnedicine during thv last 50 years
has hren specialization. The vast field of
research and practice whieh the family phjdti
cian of our forefathers so hopelesly tried to
coTvr i* now segregated Into no less than
20 recognized BpeciaJlie* of imfe'e^ne and
surgery. The nervous system ig ntudied by
the neurologist, the eye by the ocu'4| t. the
akin by the dermatologist, the teeth by the
dentist, and *0 on down the Hat. And the
last specialist to demand recognition ig
anesthetist. The term “anesthetist”—
found in moat dictionaries—is accented
the second syllable.
The anesthetist is ths» man who specializes
on the administration of ether and other anes
thetics—the man who pilots us thru those
strange and dangerous lands of dreams and
sleep which are vntered by the inhalation of
ether, chloroform and “laughing gas." For
years after the discovery of anesthesia in
1842 by that great Southerner, Crawford W.
I.ong. ether and chloroform wore habitually
permitted to be administered by any and
everybody within medical circles—general
practitioners, medical students, nurses and
to forth. But the profession gradually awoke
to the fact that .no phase of surgical work
was more deserving of special study, care
and experience than the administration of
aneatheties. Accordingly hospitals began 'to
prohibit miscellaneous employment of interne
physicians or nursvs for this important work,
and the anesthetist gradually evolved as a
distinct specialist. At the present time every
large medical center includes wren who de
vote their entire time to the |dminiatrntion
of anesthetics, and many smaller cities hare
their tnvn specialising largely in this field.
The usual fee for administering an anes
thetic is $5. hut it ought to he st least twice
that amount to patients who are able to pay
a reasonable charge.
rnfortiimifoJ.r there are thousand* of peo
ple and not n few phyalclan* who full to
realize the importifnce of employing experts
