Protection for the Children. The whole state rejoices in the fact that tho Bell child labor bill has been passed by the house and It Is now certain that it will become a law. This bill, which is one of the most vital with which the general assembly has had to deal at the present ses sion, has been so framed by Its author as to bo Identical with a measure Introduced In the senate Jointly by 23 members. It waa therefore a foregone conclusion that if the house could be induced to pass It without amend ment It would' be accepted by the senate and would soon become a law. The author of the bill and his lieu tenants, by good generalship, succeeded In steering It through the house without alteration, and it has now gono to the upper house where It will be promptly adopted. A sigh of relief goes up all over the state, at the •realisation that this long, hard fight la over at last. Tho ngalnat ' the ' Sou th 'African colonists. American makes them at times amusing—Mr. Bryan Is j thy which wells within his heart with perennial fresh looked upon ns a "pretender" to tho presidency and la trying to defraud Longwortb of his rightful heritage. Nicholas himself has given no encouragement to the Idea that he was "the belr apparent" to the presidency, and he even Indulged the hope that when Mr. Bryan came to England public attention would ho diverted from himself, at least so far as any presidential possibilities were concerned. Instead of this, however, the British public Insisted upon regarding Mr. Bryan as an Inter loper, or "pretender.” and not a few hints of this char acter. Intended as sympathy for hts cause, were ex pressed to Mr. Longwortb. All of this Is very amusing, but It Is entirely In keep ing with the Igniranee of that British public which thinks It Is still possible to hunt buffalo in Central Park nnd that a run over to San Francisco Is a Journey of few hours. In the meantime Mrs. Longwortb and her husband have gone to Paris, where it Is hoped people have clearer and more definite ideas about a democratic republic. The Lady Hooligans. The ' suffragettes of England—otherwise known U the lady hooligans, and by the Irreverent as "foollgans 1 —are not only coming to grief In Individual Instances, but they are undoubtedly bringing shame and reproach upon tbe cause of woman's suffrage. Tbe sceuo when a body of these women, whose thews and sinews are strong, assembled around the house of Mr. Asquith and made both night and day hideous Is still remembered very feelingly. It was but one of msny Instances of outrage. Sitting In tho’ visit ors' gallery of the house of commons they have more than once made demonstrations which were distinctly unseemly, and they have succeeded In awakening the resentment of the people at large, regardless ot the principles for which they contend. They have broken up n great many meetings, but on Sunday at Manchester they were treated to a dose of their own medicine. One of the most aggressive €f the sufTragottos was to make a speech, and was backed up by a member ot parliament who bad won an unsavory notoriety by championing tho cause of tbo Zulus as struggle in behalf of the children of Georgia has been one of tbe most persistent In the history of legislation. All the forces that could be brought to bear against the enactment of such a measure have been arrayed against It year by year and at times It seemed that protection for tbe children of tender years would be Impossible. But the determined men who have bad charge of these various measured have never lost heart and hope, and now, in tbe adoption of the Boll child labor bill, that hopo has been vindicated. Under the provisions of this measure no child under ten years ot age can work In a mill or manuafcturlng plant under any circumstances. No child under twolvo years of age can work there except to contribute to tho support of a widowed mother or disabled father, the or dinary ot the county certifying to the tacts In the case each year. It provides that no child under 14 yean of age can be employed or allowed to labor In a factory or manufacturing establishment at night, or shall be per mitted to work there at all unless bo or she can rend arid write bis or her name nnd simple sentences. Tbo child must attend school tjireo months each year^untll ho' or she has passed public school ago, six weeks of which time shall have been consecutive. No child shall be employed by such manufacturing concern wltbout an affidavit setting forth the facta In tbe case signed by tbe parent, guardian or somo one who stands In loco parentis. Such parent, guardian or next friend who shall make any false statement In this connection, or any peraon hiring n child In violation of thesa provisions shall be guilty of a misdemeanor and the affldavita setting forth the required facta ahall be open to Inspection by the grand Jury. • Some of the amendmeutf offered on yesterday were regarded as being acceptable In themielvei, but It waa the deBlre ot the friends of the bill to do nothing which would Imperil Us passage by the aenate, which waa al ready committed to such a measure aa was then under consideration. It was the part of wisdom to adopt It aa it'stood and secure the passage of a certain measure ot relief for the poor children of Georgia. The present bill. It will be seen, goes a long way toward affording the desired relief. A foundation has been laid on which'subsequent reforms may be bated. Georgia has already been shamefully slow In passing somo measure for the relief of the children of the state. Millions of money are poured Into Georgia every year for the education of negro children. In addition to the sum raised by taxation and distributed. Impartially among white and black. The consequence la that thou sands ot negroes are receiving tbe benefits not only ot common school, but of higher educaUou, while the chil dren ot white parents are forced to till tbe flcldi which have been depopalated of negro labor or else drift Into the cotton mUI cities to earn tha living which Impover ished families cannot make on the farm. They are grow ing up in Ignorance at tha same time that they aro stunt ing their bodies by long hours ot work while yet in their tender years. There haa been but little question, except on the part of those whose opinions are governed by self Interest, that a stringent law should be enacted, but it baa not been an easy matter, to overcome all the forces ot oppo sition. Yesterday's vote decided the matter, and from now on It la hoped that the tendency will be ateadlly upward and that In the end we will have a measure which throws around tha growing child, In the formative period ot mind and body, the strong arm ot adequate protection and the Incentive* of a higher life. Cockney Views of Longworth. While the people ot this country are speculating as to who will be the next president of the United States, the people ot England—Including "the three tailors of Tooley street”—have settled the matter to their own satisfac tion, and take It as a foregone conclusion that It will be Hon. Nicholas Longworth. The London cockney cannot get It out ot bis head that the presidency ot the United States is an hereditary offles, Just like that of king. He looks upon Longworth as a man who will come Into the office of chlet executive of the United State* by reason of hla marriage to the president's daughter, very much after the fashion that tome noblaman would come into a 'dukedom from the distaff aid*. People who really ought to know a great deal better Insist on calling him a senator. They cannot get Into their heed* that tharo Is any such thing In this country as a ''representative," although their own house of com mons corresponds to It exactly. A number of tbe leading rapers In the kingdom have been constantly referring *o him aa a "senator." To cap the climax, some ot the special correspond ents Inform us that among the unlettered multitude—or at least those whose insular Ignorance ot everything For a while the crowd which assembled as lookers on were content with good natured chaffing of the meet Ing, but tbe pleasantry grew Into ridicule aud Anally Into open hostility as tbe bitterness of the speakers In creased, and Anally tbe auffragettes had to run for tbelr lives. That Is to say, the surrounding crowd was about to crush them to death by mere force of numbers. The bellicose member of parliament had a hard time In rescuing the lady hooligans. One of the latter, how ever, lived up to her reputation and to that ot her as sociates by knocking one man down with her bare Aat andvnnotber with her deadly umbrella. On the whole it waa a disgraceful sort of proceed lug and served to bring atilt further Into disrepute the cause for which the auffragettes were contending. The conservatism and common sense of England hat arrived at the conclusion that If the mer* advocacy of wo man's suffrage Is to be marked by such unfemlnlne scenes as theso the cause Itself had better be postponed indeffnttely. The Weekly Editors. Today the members ot the Weekly Press Associa tion ot the state ot Georgia are assembled at Hartwell In their annual state convention. From Nlckajack to Ty- bce Light, from the farthest corner of Dado to the marshes of the OkeAnokee, these worthy members of the Fourth Estate are gathered for their annual outing which has become a part of their live*. The Georgian trusts that the enjoyment they appa rently experienced while they were assembling In this city will be continued during the session, compounded of pleasure and proAt, which I* now going forward In our ■later city. It la Impossible to apeak In extravagant terms ot the wisdom, the optimism and the general usefulness of the members of this .organisation. It was Edmupd Burke who, standing In the house of commons, said: "Around mo alt tbe three estates of the realm: the lords spiritual, the lords temporat and the commons; but In that gal lery," pointing toward the corner set aside for the press, there alts a fonrth estate, more powerful and more Important than all these.” Tbe verdict of the world has conArmed this estimate of the InAuenco of the press. No wonder that Napoleon should have said that he "feared tour newspaper* More than the bayonets ot a battalion.” No wonder that Thomas Jefferson should have said that It he bad to choose between a government without newspapers-and newspaper* without a government, he would not hesitate to select the latter. In this day and tlma when the collection and distribution ot the nowa ot the world haa arrived at its existing high state ot perfection, the news paper as an institution la more powerful than ever before In It* history. The men who crystallise In editorial ut terances the sentiment ot the people, are disposed to bo more thoughtful and to realise the gravity of their call ing more keenly perhaps than ever before. But whatever measure ot InAuenco and vitality may attach to the editorial function In ganeral terms. It be longs In a peculiar degree to the -editor ot the country weekly. He lives close to the people. He knows how tbe great haart ot the masses pulses with life and aspi ration. He Is akin to the sun and the soli which bring forth fruits ot every character In abundance. As life Is made up ot an InAnltude of small events which shape tbe destiny ot man and the course ot nations, he knows these minutiae by actual and continuous contact The householder, the unit of clttsenshlp. Is bis friend and neighbor, and all the events and episodes which occur within that magic circle to contribute to the weal or wo* ot the Individual, are known to him and exercise a deep and determining InAuenco In shaping hla opinions and Inspiring hla utterances. The-former and the latter rains, the drought, the weevil, tbe rust—all the cycle of phenomena which make or mar the yield of the harvest Aeld, are tbe objects of hla dally concern; and In his community he le a man ot relatively greater Importance than the editor of the most ambitious of metropolitan newspapers. Hla opinion* are more In accord with the sentiments and convictions ot hts constituents because he la In more Intimate touch with them, and, In raallty, merely reflects a consensus which Is all about trim. He la.chastened with trials. It la not given to him Id many Instance* to acquire wealth by conducting a weekly newspaper. The standing Jest that his subscrip tions are psIdT In romanlte apples and yellow yams Is not entirely a fanciful creature ot the brain.' But, through It all hope shines like a guiding star and a sunny opti mism auraoles everything about him. He haa wel comed the little stranger and dropped a sympathetic tear on passing age which haa llvad out the Psalmist's ■pan. He haa sounded In hla adaptable columns a mar riage hymn more musical than Tanhauser or "the voice that breathed o'er Eden.” He haa thrown the mantle of charity over the weaknesses and errors ot mankind. And all the** have contributed to the turn of human sympa- -! comes to him at this happy noontide of the year when he foregathers with his brothers and sisters of the Faber guild and gives himself up to a season of unalloyed do- llght. % The Georgian extends its heartiest greetings to the Weekly Press Association and trusts that theirs may be a full measure of happiness and sweet content. FORMER ATLANTAN MAKES MOST PERILOUS TOUR EVER ATrEMPTED IN A BALLOON DEFAULTING ON SAN FRANCISCO FIRE LOSSES A New York merchant writes to The Press, calling attention to the help- leseness of San Francisco ao long os Insurance payment* are withheld, and pointing out the concern other cities should feel In this matter, for, he says, "we cannot tell when our time may come, and one dark day we may be ap- tenllng to other cities to help us en- 'orce Justice from the Insurance com- tanlea to whom we have for years past >een paying premiums sufficiently re munerative for the acquisition ot huge surpluses, presumably -set aside for Just such emergencies as the present." As “Merchant" says, the people of San Francisco are tied hand and foot from beginning the rebuilding of their city and the re-establishment of their production and trade until the Insur ance funds which are due them are >ald by the companies. "The coun- ry," he says, "responded magnificent ly to Son Francisco's cry for help, but the work Will be complete ot' effective pressure Is brought on the insurance companies which are trying to welch. When San Francisco needed food .and raiment the country oured them forth with open hands, ow she needs money, and wants only her own." • • • The euggestloir which the New York business man makes Is that the com mercial Interests of the country should show the companies that they cannot w-elch without being boycotted every where In the United States. Now Is the time, therefore, for ew York, Boston, Chicago and other great communities .with the view of compelling these defaulting compa- e the assets which the e country have built up for them, and so give San Francisco a chance to go ahead,” • • • That no- Injustice should be done to the conscientious companies, this work of Investigation and reporting should be performed by some responsible body of the nature of a chamber of com merce. The newspapers, of course, will give wide currency to any official report showing Injustice nnd virtual fraud. And the result would undoubt edly be to put out of business such companies as had practiced the unfair and cruel methods, while Increasing the patronage of those which had given n "square deal."—New York Press. 0000000000000000000 o POLITICS AND POLITICIANS.

Editor of The Georgian: I noticed'an editorial In your paper about Sarah Bernhardt being born In Rochester, Iowa. I have eome Infor mation which will possibly be of aome Interest to you. I am a theatrical man, at present touring Georgia with -the Heyer Comedy Company. In tbe sum mer of 1302 I was with a small com pany that spent a week In the little town of Rochester, Iowa. We boarded with a family by the name of Flnefleld. Mr. Flnefleld, the head of the house, telle the following' story concerning Sarah Bernhardt. Bernhardt's mother and Mr.' Flnefleld'* mother were sis ters. Sarah's mother died when Sarah was an Infant, and consequently Sarah came to live with the Flneflelds. When ■he was about 11 years old a little show came to Rochester and Sarah ran away with It. I don't think It wo* an "Uncle Tom” show, ns at that time the i were not so burdened with such ancea. Sarah had always been a "queer child," aa they described It, and had always "play-acted" since she could talk. They never heard from her until about three years later, when her cousin, Mr. Flnefleld, waa In San Fran cisco, and recognised her on tha stage at one ot the theaters. Ha went up and spoke to her and she refused .to recognise him, until he reminded her of a little toy cradle that ha had made for her, which she had always prised very highly. Then she broke down and wept, and begged him not to tell where she was. She went to Paris and waa never heard ot again until she became famous. One day two handsomely dreeaed la dles drove up to the Flnefleld - home and asked them to direct them to the cemetery. He went with them over to the graveyard, which was only a short distance away. He waa astonished to hear one of the ladles, who waa heav ily veiled, ask him for the grave ot his aunt. He asked the lady why she wanted to see that particular grave, and she told him It was the grave ot her mother. She laid aome flowers on the grave and took one of the small atonea, which lay on the grave, and a little twig from a rose- bush near by. Both ladle* spoke in French and evi dently could not speak or understand English. Upon Inquiries being made, he found »that Sarah Bernhardt was playing in a near-by city. Of course hey naturally surmised that the hand somely gowned French lady was no other than the little Sarah who used to run barefoot on the sandbar* of the Cedar river, rock her dolls In hand made wooden cradles, and who had run away with a-ahow, son# to France, and forgot her native language. How- ever, all her people are French, aa Rochester la a French settlement. I have a photo of the town In my pos session. which 1 had taken aa a souve nir of the birthplace of the Divine Sarah.

Will not her legislators make an appropriation this sesMon for a tnonu{ ment to our noble founder, and thus re deem the past neglect, a neglect for which| the face of every Georgian should blush Listen to tbe words I heard January 10,| 15C0, in Augusta, Ga., from the lips of Geor gia's devoted son, the late Charles Wallace Howard, as ha spoke before the Young| Men's Christian Association "The life of Oglethorpe was, In many re-1 specti, a remarkable one. i lie Ured for nearly a century, and died a childless old man. He has left no remnant of himself In Georgia. The house In which he lived,! on BL Simons Island, was destroyed by fire. I The oaks which shaded It have been ruth«| lesaly down. "The fine mansion of Grantham Hall, In England, where the great and good nndl the learned ‘assembled around, his hospita ble board, was also consumed by the flames, and with It every private record of hts life. It Is a nnd nnd solitary spectacle which the close of his Ufa presents. "Msny years since, as I stood In the ■mall chajK*! which coutalua hla remains, | a train of painful emotions were awakened |In my iniud. "The inscription upon his tomb before me was the only record of n similar character In the whole realm, of wh<»se remarknble contemporaneous men he had been pro nounced. by competent authority, to be ’the most remnrkable,' while persons less dis tinguished for virtue, mind or public serv ice, had been honored after death with burial In Westminster abbey, and thus their memory has been perpetuated aa long as Inscriptions shall endure, yet he. who wan ders among ‘those shrines of the mighty dead,' finds no monumental marble pro claiming Itself to contain the aahea of this great founder of a state. While tbe names of his distinguished associates still live lui a numerous jKMterlty, his name baa paaaed away from among the names of the living. "Nor waa the sadness of these reflections relieved by allowing the mind to wander across the ocean to Georgia, the scene of hla philanthropic labors.

York, July 17.—Andrew Carnc- gle still bmps on tbe coming unity of the English speaking race and Its dominating Influence In the affairs of the world. In London the giver of 1|. brarlen nnd apostle of peace declares: "During the lifetime of many now living 300,000,000 English speaking p«o. tbert of one race, are to dived ther side of the Atlantic. Bn. tain with,- nay 60.000.000. will turn to and probably merge with them, and h other upon international pie. the questions, and then our race will fui. AM Its destiny, which Is decisively to Influence world affairs for the good of the world.” When it comes to traveling, th, Pittsburg millionaire has little on s great race horse. The luxury In which Rocksand. the derby winner and thor. oughbred of high degree, traveled might be equalled, but could not be excelled for money. Kockxand was recently purchased from the estate of Fir James Miller for 2125,000 by August Belmont. Th, aristocratic atalllon almost had to be dragged on to American soli. For an hour the hostlers labored with Rocksnnd to get him to walk down the steamship gang plank, but the delicate animal would not so much as put his foot on the narrow way. Mr. Belmont helped to urge his new pur.! chase to leave the sleoinshlp, but with out success until John O'Keefe, a roundsman In the traffic squad, solved tho problem. He watched the attempt to get the racer off the vessel from the dock. He led hla own horse up the steep Incline and then led him down again. Rocksand followed the horse to the entrance of the plank, and then, after a moment's Indecision, started down. Once started, he waa led and half dragged to the dock below. Why should surprise be felt that Kaiser Wilhelm has determined to boss his little grandson, Wilhelm the I,lt- tlestT If there Is anything In th« German empire, big or little, he doesn’t boss he would be grate' ' who will point It out. The kaiser's subject* are more frank with themselves in the matter of what they eat than we are. A dispatch from Hamburg says: "Beef and mutton la so scarce that the Increased demand for horse flesh and dog flesh has forced up th* prices of these. "The former has risen 10 pfgs. a pound and now sells for about 40 pfgs. (10 cents) a pound and more. Dog flesh brings about the same price, but dog sausage, which Is more savory than horse, Is <0 pfgs. (15 cents) a pound.” We do not quote horse and dog meat in the market reports, but there Is a general Impression that, like the skip per's suit of clothes, they are there. GEORGIANS IN GOTHAM.
