EAGLE AND AEROPLANE.
Who are you. speeding along this ytgy
Above my head?
Why do you come to the clouda today?
The eagle said.
Have you not heard that pathways high
Only were made for such aa I?
Did you not know that from your birth,
You wart appointad to walk tha earth?
Do as you long wart wont to do;
Stab my mountains and creep them thru;
Swim your rivers or bridge them o'erj
Ferry the seas from shore to shore;
Plunge thru halls of the etarlesi deep.
Where the hosts of the tempests sleep
And count their dead;
But you never were made, as I,
On the wings of the winds to fly!
The eagle said.
What In my country do you seek?
What la of wealth on the mountain peak?
Whleh of tha gems hat It begot?
Where la Its gold, excepting what
The aun has shad,
You who squander the hoards you save—
Haughty slaves of the yellow slave?
The eagle said.
Then did the bird, with beak and wing,
Straight at the throat of the air-man
spring,
Looking a rage he could not apeak.
Tearing away with claws and bsak.
But from tha bold Intruder came
Five sharp volleys of blinding flame,
And piercing lead;
Symbol of heroism, beware!
Doff the emperorship of air!
Tha achoes said.
Maimed and bleeding, and tick with hate.
Fluttered the bird to hie flerce-eyed mate,
Where, on a ragged rook and gray,
She with her eallow fledgelings lay.
Do not again such conflict dare,
Screamed this lionets of the air;
Men will yet Journey hero In crowds;
You art no more tho King of Clouda.
Man la the only mortal who
Whate’er ho wills to do, will do.
Tho he ba wayward oft, and wild,
Still he la God's own well-loved child—
From angels bred:
If he will only do and dare.
He can yot rula Earth, Sea and Air!

Backing a Veto.
Ah President Taft has so
journed in insurgent territory lie
has found out that time is the
essence of the contention that is
racing about his vetoes of the
lowered tariff bills passed at the
xtra session of the sixty-second
congress.
He tinds the attitude of the
people expressed pretty Well as
i follows: “Mr. President, you
88V that the tariff should be
lowered, that the present high
wool schedule is partieularly in.
defensible, and yet when bills re-
dneing the tariff, partieularly
the indefensible schedule, were
presented to you, you vetoed
them. Why didn't you give us
relief then? Why did you wait!”
And the only reply the presi
dent ean tlnd is in effect as fol-
lows: “I waited to hear the re
port of my tariff board. No
body knows whether-a. tnriff is
good or bad or whether or not
it will plunge the country into
min except my hoard. In it is
bound up all the tariff knowl
edge and tariff wisdom. On an
important matter like this I can
not afford to trust the judgment
of the representatives of the
people, either in the house or in
the senate. It wouldn’t be
scientific.”
In addition to the many other
occupations in which he ha* been
engaged. President Taft ha* been
a lawyer,, and he must realize
that with respect to his tariff
vetoes he i* strictly on the de
fensive and that hi* defense i*
very weak.
The crowds that hear him feel
instinctively that it is. and for
that reason hear.him in silence,
and when they do cheer it is in
the spirit of letting down easy a
distinguished guest.
Time is indeed the essence of
tariff reduction, and the people
realize that by reason of the
president’s acts it has been long
overatayeJ.
When the munificence of
founders and friends results in
the establishment and equipment
of a great educational institu
tion, disappointment is often ex
perienced at the limited number
of youth who are able to enjoy
the facilities that have been pro
vided.
The largest degree of generos
ity so expended ean reach at
beat only a restricted class of
beneficiaries. It is beyond the
grasp of the great multitude of
would-be students who can not
finance the leisure time neces
sary for a college education
Their time must be devoted to
the grim necessity of earning a
living. V
Brenau college, at Gainesville,
Ga., in its own case has recog
nized this difficulty snd is set.
ting about remedying it. It has
launched a campaign to raise a
$50,000 permdnent endowment,
the interest of which is to be
used as a loan fund for ambitious
girls who desire a college educa
tion, yet who would be absolute
ly shut off from its benefits with
out the aid of a loan.
Of the amount desired. $10,000
has already been subscribed, be
coming available when a similar
amount has been raised. It has
been ascertained that $4,000 in.
vested at seven per cent interest
will send one girl to college for
one year. The progressive towns
of, Georgia will each be asked to
raise this amount, and those of
them which do so will enjoy the
privilege of naming their bene
fleiaries each year.
There is no worthier educa
tional endeavor than that of
bringing the poor girl to college,
not on a girt or charity basis,
but on the plan of deferred pay
ments, allowing the girl to ac
quire the education now and pay
for it afterward and out of the
enlarged ability that will be hew
by reason of it.
Brenau’s scholarship endow
ment campaign is herewith com
mended to the people of Geor
gia for their eo-opcration and
financial support.

Hlgh-browed professors *f dead-and-

or some other remote thing; but you
may take It from me as a settled fact
that the word originated on the tongue
f>f aome loay fellow like you, who aim-

"When you sec a man passing you In
the race for business, supremacy, do
not simply ascribe it to luck and go on
In the same old way you have always
gone, but deliberately sit down and
analyze that man's methods and com

you have done that he has avoided.
Don't say n man Is lucky, for there Is

subject In which a number of Southern

Public Men and the
Lecture Platform.
Champ Clark, presiding officer
of the national house of repre
sentatives and one of the most
sought-after public speakers in
the country, has announced that
when his present contract expires
he will retire from the lecture
platform.
The gentle art of lecturing is
hy no means as easy a job as
surface appearances would indi
cate. It is matie up of early
trains and late arrivals, of unac
customed fare, of indifferent ac
commodations. Verily it is a
harried existence. It is calcu
lated to wear thin the hardest
constitution.
Bo Champ Clark has decided
anti gives that ns his reason for
retiring.
He has had what might be
called a long and honorable on- c - on , ro , r
rcer on the lecture platform, and tnoiiuak

public men, thnt the platform, in
addition to its flnaucial emolu
ments, is a place of great power
nn<l influence—a means of reach
ing the people which for direct-
mss and lasting quality is second
only to the daily newspaper.
The lecture platform iR power
ful everywhere. In the large
city it is somewhat obscured by
Ihe multiplicity of other attrae-
tiona, but in the country and
the small town it is supreme. In
the ehantauqus it flowers forth
in its greatest fullness.
It is said that the winning of
the West for the political faith
known as insurgency was accom
plished by the ehautnuqua
speeches of men in public life—
not speeches of a direct parti
san nature, but of information
as to existing conditions and the
remedies therefor.
The living voice and personal
contact with tho people incident
to appearance on the platform
are forqes which no political
leader can afford to despise. Few
of them do.
The more they engage in lec
turing the fatter do they find
their pocketbooks and the larger
do they find the sphere of their
personal and political influence.

Children are particularly susceptible to
delirium and some children more than
others. A strikingly robust child may
become delirious from a slight touch of
fever, from indigestion or from some
other quite insignificant disturbance.
Nearly all Infectious diseases, espe

Thus pneumonia Is a notorious cause of
this condition; and typhoid fever Is an
other. But In typhoid the delirium
comes on tovyard the close of the dis

and weakened condition of the patient
In neither disea.se, however, is the oc
currence- of delirium of much signifi
cance.
It is interesting to know that one of
tbo effects-of starvation 4s pronounced
delirium which precedes death usually
by about two days. The delirium of
wasting diseases is really a starvatldn
symptom also. In certain persons va

and special forms of delirium from In

A SONG OF DR. WILEY
.1 From The New York Sun,
That Dr. Harvey Washington Wiley is

since he has been an exile In the con

of weights and measures, let us tetch
them tne art of agriculture, the beautlei

The doctor admits that the far
