Similar courts have been suc
cessful elsewhere in ending the
evils which justice courts inva

Representative McElrcath, of
Fulton county, introduced, a bill
to this effect at the last session of
the legislature. It failed of
passage then, but it should not
fail now.
Let Fulton’s representatives

Shall the Senate
Be Abolished?
Representative Victor Berger,
of Wisconsin, the only Socialist
member of congress, has intro-
duccd n resolution in the - house
calling for an amendment to the
Federal constitution abolishing
the senate.
Mr. Berger has some very
pointed things to Rav about the
upper branch of congress.
“It has run its course,” he de
clares,, “and has now become a
useless and obstructive body, a
menace to the liberties of the
people and an Obstacle to social
growth. Many of its members
are not representatives of the
people, but of certain predatory
combinations. It is a body which,
by reason of the corruption often
attending the election of its mem
bers. has furnished the gravest
public scandals in the history of
the nation.”
Practically all of the indict
ment Mr. Berger brings against
the senate is trne. He is mis
taken only in the remedy, for
the grievous condition which he
points out.
The senate should not be 'abol
ished, but should be reformed.

End It.
The justice court system in At
lanta must go.
It is a continuous scandal, n
mockery of justice, and u men
ace to all our institutions. i
The Fulton county grand jury,
after a careful examination into
its work, condemns it unreserv
edly.
Let the man ordinarily inatten
tive to the duties of ‘good citi
zenship take heed to the solemn
words of the body sworn to in
vestigate and report on the coun
ty affairs.
‘There is NO DOUBT.” soys
the grand jury report, “that the
system in vogue is ABSOLUTE
LY UNFITTED for a county of
so large a population os Fulton,
and on thjs account much IN
JUSTICE is worked and WRONG
done in the name of justice and
law. This condition, if long con
tinued, will breed in our people
a CONTEMPT for all courts and
law enforcement, and will Anally
tend to ANARCHY.”
The abuses of justice courts,
the oppressions and wrongs they
are guilty of, come from this one
thing—the fee system of compen
sation for the justices and their
bailiffs.' •
To get fees, the justice must
get cases, and to get cases he
must pander to those who have
cases to bring. Whst is the re
sult? In many instances it is a
prostitution of the law to serve
a disgraceful scramble for “bus
iness.”
Pray give attention to these
figures from the rojwrt: “In less
than six- months, in the eight
justice court* in Atlanta, 9,« r >09
civil cases were docketed and
644 criminal cases." Hustling for
business, fee system, pernicious
activity of bailiffs «re >11 re
corded in these statistics as plain
ly as if they were written in let
ters of Are.
The justice of the peace, there
fore, becomes, barring some ex
ceptions, a dispenser of injustice,
and his bailiffs, instead of being
conservers, become disturbers of
the peace.
The system is wrong—shame
fully and disgracefully wrong.
It must be abolished, and that
forthwith; there is no wisdom
in allowing it to run on year
after year, its abuses piling
mountain high all (he time.
The legislature, at ita session
this summer, should wipe out the
system at one stroke and estab-
t
The whole trouble with the
senate is that it is too far re
moved from the people, too little
amenable to their wishes, and the
indirect means of electing its
members as provided in the con
stitution is the cause of it.
This provision was put in the
constitution designedly. The
framers of that document were
making a practically untried ex
periment in popular government,
and the fear of giving the peo
ple too much power, tho fear
that the people would not bo ca
pable of using power, constantly
haunted their minds.
Hence thoy decided that at
least ono branch of the legisla
tive department of the govern
ment should bo isolated from the
direct touch of the people, and
in providing that senators should
he elected by the legislatures of
the stntcH they succeeded admira-
hly-r-sucoeeded, in fact, too well
for the good of the nation,' aa
its subsequent history has clearly
demonstrated.
They tried, too, to remove the
election of the president from tho
direct vote of the people by plac
ing it in the hands of an electo
ral college. Tho the form of the
college still remains, it failed
early in the history of the coun
try ns a practical working factor.
The experience of the ages
shows that two legislative bodies
are necessary. They insure due
deliberation and that sober sec
ond thought which is the salva
tion of all popular government.
The experience of age should
never be lightly disregarded.
Even England does not serious
ly consider the abolishment of
its hereditary hduse of lords, but
only of reforming It and adapt
ing it to the needs and conditions
of the present day.
The direct election bill now
pending in congress, with good
prospects of passage, will do all
for removing the ^j’ils of the
senate, ns at present constituted,
that the best political wisdom of
the country can now see is neces-

The president pro trm of the United
States senate has resigned. It should
be stated, however, thst It was not on
nccoont of the press of arduous duties.
In taking 171.000 bales of cotton, nplnnera reduced the visible supply
of American cotton 111.000 bales the past week, the movement Into sight
falling short of spinners' takings that amount. The visible supply next
Friday will In all probability ahow a decrease as compared with la»t year.
The strength of the statistical position of cotton has been tho Influence
for the year’s high record prices during the week. May selling at 15.22 and
July at 15.18. For this season's crop the low levels were recorded on Sat
urday, the high points being reached on Friday.* Friday was first notice
day for May delivery. Some >0,000 to 40,000 were Issued, but as they
were promptly stopped, they were of only temporary effect, which left
prices at the close of the week 26 to 35 points ubovo tho previous week
and 40 to 95 points above the some week last year, an advance over last
week of >1.25 to >1.85 per bale, and >2 to >4.75 over last year.
Tho new crop months were strong up to and Including Thursday, when
predictions of clearing and warm weather In the western belt caused a slump
of 1* to IS points from the week's high levels. The close, however, was at
advances of from >1.10 to >1.40 per bale above tho previous week, and
>1.25 to >2.80 per bale above the same week last year.
The-new crop was strong on the backwardness In farm work. The crop
Is now from one to two weeks late, and the weather is still unsettled with
heavy rains In the central belt. Fallr conditions are predicted In the west
ern belt and on this the October and December pozltlons weakened on Fri
day.
Under the caption ’’King Cotton,” The Boston New* Bureau says edlto.
rlally!
“Despite the large cotton takings by British mills, their current stocks
are reported rather light. Only exceptionally favorable conditions in the
South for the new crop afid the drastic curtailment among American mllla
appear to prevent the advance In prices from extending to the fall months.
While a big crop la confidently expected thla year, the mill people do not
propose to trust too Implicitly to the tender mercies of the climate, and
have already begun to purchase quietly for their needs In the fall.
“Even If a record crop of cotton were assured, the future course of
prices could only be problematical. The demands of the world can not be
supplied from the acreage of the United Slates, under present or probable
conditions of cultivation. Egypt can Increase Its output, but Egyptian cot
ton Is too expensive for common use. Unless new producing areas can
be discovered, or new fields, where experiments have so far proved suc
cessful, can bo further developed, cheap totton. even as gauged by prices
only two seasons ago, seems not likely soon to return. Stem necessity has
once more come to tha rescue of the bull speculator.”

WINNOWED WITTICISMS
A bill Is now pending in the New
York legislature which If passed will
disqualify any liquor dealer from hold
ing the office of justice of the peace.
Governor Cruce. of Oklahoma, urges
the legislature of that state to give
the governor power to remove from of.
fire county ..m. iiiis who do not en
force the prohibition laws. He says he
feels that such a law will enable him
to fulfill his pledge to enforce the law.
Judge Brannon, of the supreme court
of appeals of West Virginia, has ds-
clared that "a Ilcenie to a corporation
to sell Intoxicating liquors In this state
Is null and void.”
Father MeNamee. a Catholic pries* of
Fretone, HI.. In returning a saloonkeep
er 310 pew rent, recently said: “We
condemn the saloon os - an institution
because It Is the school of drink where
the boy starts in. We can not consist
ently do this and at the same time ac
cept money made In the saloon. Whisky
sellers contribute to Catholic funds as
liberally os other Catholic people, but
the church would be richer, even finan
cially, if their business did not exist,
because they deprive her of more than
they give. The church wishes to get
her people out of the unpopular trade
and the policy toward that end Is grow
ing more pointed and more practical.”
The saloonkeeper hates the drunkard
and jylll put him out of his place of
business when drunk If he ha*. no more
money with which to buy more liquor.
It is declared that there are 12.000
college-bred men In New York city
alone who are down and out because
of the drink habit.
The census records show that the
saloonless cities have outstripped the
"wet” ones In increase of population
during the past ten years. Oklahoma
City leads them all with an Increase of
694 per cent.
A large Eastern manufacturer says:
"The two years in which we have had
the opportunity to observe the effect
of having no saloons aro replete with
many blessings for the ordinary work
man which he never enjoyed under the
license laws and the open saloons."
Twenty years ago, when North and
South Dakota were admitted Into the
Union, South Dakota had about twice
the population of North Dakota South
Dakota with saloons has only Increased
In population 46.6 per cent, while North
Dakota, without saloons, haa Increased
80.8 per cent
Tho tall of Mason. Mich., is now
empty for the first time In firs yean.
The saloons have been voted out.
A bill Is now pending before the leg
islature which If carried will run every

>150,000 bond Issue for good road* and a new court house, and a mass
meeting of Laurens coilnty, Georgia, citizens. Is to be. held this week to
discuss road construction In that county, with the result, no doubt, of
recommending a large bond Issue for , road work. Just as, three grand
Juries In thst county have done. Mobile county, Alabama, received 13
bids on 3189,000 worth ‘of bonds, all section of (he county being repre

It I* safer to share a toothbrueh with
others than to share a towel with them.
The average Individual carrlee a pretty
full assortment of bacteria about In
hie oral cavity, anyway, and an occa-
alonal exchange might not do much
damage; when a public towel le ap
plied to the face, however, not only
may tubercle bacilli, typhoid germs or
almost any microbe be Inhaled from the
damp cloth, but goorrheat InfecUon
may be transmitted to the eye with to
tal loss of eight as the result
The public drinking cup haa been
abolished In all up-to-date communi
ties and the public towel will eoon be
a thing of the past No self-respecting
person should touch one; and careful
hotels and office buildings should not
supply towels In lavatories unless In
dividual ones, such as steeping cars
furnish, are practicable.
The average towel offers an Ideal
pipes for the development of most
forms of bacteria. The three great es
sentials to germ life are warmth, dark,
ness and moisture. The usual roller
towel hung In the dark corner of a dark
bath room or lavatory meets all ths
conditions. Moreover, the loose texture
of towel cloth Is physically adaptsd to
catch and hold particles of skin, u4
germ-laden matter of all eorta.
Even in the home the common tows!
should not ba tolerated. Almost any.
thing from mumps to meningitis may
be transmitted on a warm, moist doth.
Let us have Individual towels, or elu
like our savage ancestors trust to ths
sun’s rays alone. Sunlight kills germ*

Growing Industry; .
(Greensboro Journal.)
There Is a great deal of cattle raised
annually In Greene county, but there
should be a great deal more. "More
and better live stock,” should be the
popular slogan. The eradication of the
cattle tick In Greene county will assist
materially In this great work. Dr.
Stever and hls Inspectors should be
encouraged In their great work. Tht

other sections of the state not so for

(Philadelphia Inquirer.)
Nearly all burglare get In. not thru
the door, which the householder It so
careful to bolt and chain, but thru the
window. In London In one year 367
burglar* got In thru windows, only 15
entered thru doors, 16 thru fanlights
and 11 by "breaking out." False keys
were used 26 times. The favorite hours
are 2 to 6 In the morning. The house
holder falls Into hls soundest sleep
about an hour after dosing off and Is
least likely to hear a burglar, say, be
tween 1 and 3 o'clock. But the police
man on duty since 10 o'clock must be
growing tired by cock crow, and that
seems why the burglar selects the later
hours. The housebreaker chooses
either the very .early morning, when the
family Is likely to be out; or the dinner
hour, when persons are not apt to be
thinking about him. Between 4 and 8
o'clock In the morning there are 383
rases ot housebreaking. Then during
the next two hours, from 3 to 10 o’clock,
the total Is only 114.
Hsvoo Wrought by a Diamond.
(The Northwestern.)
A recent night Inspection of a station
on the Minnesota division revealed the
fact that the only waiting room was
poorly lighted. 8ome of the kerosene
lamps had no chimneys at all. One
I lamp was spruced up a bit by having a
Wire Mileage in tho United States.
(Scientific American.) _ . _
The annual report of-the American I mutilated half chimney that by com-
Telephone and.Telegraph Company (or psrlaor. threw a respectable light,
last year says that 1.200.000 miles of j On' Inquiry the agent explained that
wire were added to the lines, making a
total mileage of 13,000,000.
Some Idea of what this total means
may be grasped when we calculate that
this length of wire could be wrapped
around tho earth 300 times and thst It
would make >0 separate lines from the
earth to the moon, but there would not
b# half enough wire to reach from the
earth to our nearest planetary neighbor,
Venus.
the duty of taking care of the lamps
fell to the baggageman, who recently
bought a diamond ring which he wore
on all occasions. Cleaning chimneys
at this particular station Is accom
plished by blowing Into the globe and
rubbing It until daylight Is visible The
diamond In thla Instance wrought sad
havoc with the chimneys, which were
so badly etched by It that a slight
heat knocked them Into smithereens.
