THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN,
A FEELING OF SECURITY
YOU naturally feel secure when you know that the medicine you are
nbout to take is absolutely pure and contains no harmful or habit
producing drugs.
Such a medicine is Dr. Kilmer’s Swamp-Root, the great Kidney,
Liver and Bladder Remedy. •
The same standard of purity, strength and excellence is maintained
in every bottle of Swamp-Root.
Swamp-Root is scientifically compounded from vegetable herbs.
It is not a stimulant and is taken in teaspoonful doses.
It is not recommended for everything.
It is nature’s great helper in relieving and curing kidney, liver and
bladder troubles.
A sworn statement of purity is with every bottle of Dr. Kilmer's
Swamp-Root.
If you need a medicine you should have the best.
If you arc already eppvinced that Swamp-Root is what you need you
will find it on 'solo at all drug stores in bottles of two sizes, fifty
cents and one-dollar. i
Send to Dr. Kilmer & Go., Binghamton, N. Y., for a sample bottle,
free by mail—it will convince anyone. You will also receive a
booklet of valuable information, telling all about the kidneys
When writing be sure and mention The Atlanta Georgian.

IS STENOGRAPHIC COURSE
A NECESSITY OF LIFE?
TO MEET PARTY
OF
Is a stenographic course necessary In
the educullnn and equipment of a mi
nor person for the duties of life?
This rather Interesting question was
the turning point In a cass decided by
the supreme court Monday morning.
On January 6, 1#05, Miss Dora 11
Mauldin, If years of ogf, entered a
business college to take a course In
stenography. tihe paid III for the
same, and took a receipt. On January
is she deckled not to toko the course
and demanded the return of her money.
The demand was refused, and she en-
tered suit In Justlrn court to recover.
Tim Jury found fbr the defendant. Then
she petitioned to certiorari the case to
the superior court, but Judge I’emlleloh
refused the petition.
Now the supreme court reverses
Judge PcAulloton, and In the head note
aet forth:
“In order to determine this question
whether or not the contract of an In
fant for a course In stenography was a
contract for necessaries, In the sense In
which 'necessaries' Is used to render
tho contract binding upon such Infant,
tho evldsnco In tho case should show
the slate, degree and condition In llfo
In which the Infant Is whose contract
Is under consideration; It should also
affirmatively appear that tho parents or
guardian of such Infant failsd or re
fused to furnish suoh alleged necessa
ries.''
As this does not appear the court
holds that It wna error to refuse tho pe-
tltlon for certiorari.

Washington. Nov. It.—That the
United State* government ha* ut its
command the means of a more effective
attack upon the Harrtman railroad sys
tem than upon perhaps on .any other
American in the country, has been dis
covered since the Interstate commerce
commission was set to work upon It.
t’ongreas, when It chartered the orig
inal Union Pacific Company, expressly
reserved special powers of limiting the
earnings and controlling the rates and
charges of this system.
Given Huge Subsidy.
Under .this charter the company was
given an empire of public lands and a
huge government subsidy.
The lawyers who have been study
ing the charter declare that there‘igjio
question that it Is still in full effect
as to all such provisions. When It took
tip the Inquiry into the affairs of this
system the comtnlssloh 'was at a loss
where to begin, there having been no
specific complaint against It. Discov
ery of this old charter provision, It Is
stated, assures that the government
may enjoy the widest latitude Of In
vestigation.
Denial Is Expected.
It Is further declared by experts that
the earnings of the system have long
passed the line at which government
regulative power becomes effective.
This Is the point on which It Is ex
pected the managers of the huge sys
tem will make their chief contest. They
are expected to deny that the earn
ings have reached such a point.
The president, under the charter of
the Union Pacific, has absolute power
governing rates and earnings. It Is de
clared that earnings now far exceed
that figure, und that as much con read
ily be demonstrated by judicial procesf.
Therefore, congress can absolhtely fix
rates and charges, and with that power
—a far more specific and drastic power
than It has over other roads—It can
drive the Harrfman Interests to Its
knees.

Washington. Nov. 1$.—Before Pre.l-
dent Roo.ev.lt left Washington on Ills
trip to Panama, he virtually completed
the menage he will .end to congress
next month.
The message this year will rank In
Importance with other, which Mr,
Roosevelt ha. transmitted during hit
Incumbency, and It Is possible to give »
forecast of Its principal features.
To Regulate Fortunes.
Without doubt the most vital recoin
inendatlon relates to the necessity of
formulating a method of regulating the
growth- of great fortune. In till* coun
try.
The president will urge' congress lo
devise it scheme of progressive taxa
tion on all fortunes beyond n rertaln
amount, either given In life or devised
or bequeathed upon death.to any Indi
vidual. He heUeves It hns an unwhole
some effect upon the common wen!
for swollen estate* to p**a free flfteSMfr
atlon to generation, nnd he would like
to see a tax so framed ns to put It out
of the power of the owner of one of
theao fortunes to hand down more than
a certain portion to any one Individual.
Congress Hat Power.
He I. convinced that congreaa pos
sesses the constitutional authority to
Impose such a tax, and his opinion Is
baaed upon the Judgment of some of
the best lawyers and Jurists In the
country. He will suggest that such a
method of taxation be made to apply
merely to the Inheritance or transmis
sion of fortunes which has reached on
unhealthy limit.
Second In Importaifce will be a rec
ommendation foe. an enactment giving
the Federal government supcrvlaory
authority over corporations engaged lit
Interstate commerce. It Is not his pur
pose to furnish specifications n* to the
manner In which this power should he
exercised, whether by Federal license
or otherwise; but he [will Insist that it
I* of paramount importance that the
government be vested with such au
thority In ordsr to ileal effectively with
the far-reaching evils of over-capltull-
zatlon.
