THE QUESTION OF BONDS IS A
COMMUNITY ONE—NOT IN ANY
BENSE A POLITICAL ONE.
Auirunta has (ton* aarlously and
deeply Into the (treat problem of flood
• protection for this city. It la a mat
ter that should have been begun and
completed yeara ago. It la the moat
vital problem that confronts the btial
neaa growth and continued prosperity
of Augusta
There Is but one answer to the
uueatlon of whether or not Auguata la
going to vote the needed remaining
levee bonds. Certainly ahe la. and
certainly ahe ought to. It’a a great,
big community queatton thut affects
equally every cltlaen of Auguata.
Mood protection means a bigger
and better and busier Auguata. Plana
are already formed, und their an
nouncement la being withheld, until
thla bond Issue la voted by the people
of Auguata. There la no use to wlth
holdthese announcements. Qo ahead
and announce them and watch Augus
ta vote the needed bonds to complete
tbe great work of flood protection.
The people can well afford to differ
and differ sharply on political ques
tion*. The people of most cities do.
But Auguata can no more afford to
dlfTer or to hold back upon a great,
big, vital community Issue then ahe
can afford to countenance dishonest
elections and tampering with the bal
lot box Two wrongs don’t make a
right. be right both ways, last's
give Augusta adequate flood protec
tion and also give Augusta clean and
honest elections for the ruture!
Surely thla la a platform upon
which all cltlsena can well afford to
stand, for the protection of Augusta
and her people.
Atlanta lost her bond inane the other
day for the simple reason that people
stayed away from the polls. The law
counts every voter who falls to vote
as against bonds, whether he Is or
A"*—whether he is out of the city or
not.

THK CITV AU
UUSTA, complete and adequate pro
tectlon, be sure you go to the polls

ROOSEVELE OUT OF JUNGLE.
Tbat Mr. Roosevelt should come
out of the Jungle with s declaration
of war against the policies of the
W llaon administration will, of course,
surprise no one. He Is a chauvinist
by nature, and the policies of the
Wilson administration rightly give
sore grievances to chauvinism. Mr.
Wilson has been less concerned to
determine what position the nation
could sustain than to determine what
position the nation uught to take,
and chauvinism measures right by
might. There Is an irreconcilable
conflict in the fundamental concep
tions of the two men which rendered
It Inevitable that the Wilson adminis
tration should pursue a course which
Would appear pusillanimous to all of
Mr Roosevelt s way of thinking The
Wilson administration has proposed
to pay Colombia 116,000.000 for the
torrilorv it lost by reason of the Pan
ama accession. If we would pay
Panama only the amount It la able
to exact we would of course pav
nothing, and hence the offer to pay
anything la an offense to chauvinism
Furthermore the amount offered la
so much In excess of the value of the
real estate taken from Colombia tbat
the excess can signify nothing except
that we are conscious of having had
a culpable complicity In Uiat secea
s lon ary enterprise and that, of course,
la an Impugnment of Mr Rnoaevelt'a
part In that enterprise His resent
ment therefore, manliest# a "proper
indignation. ’
POSTPONE CASE
BiNSJEHON
Charge of Contempt of Court
Not to Be Taken. Up Until
Next Friday.
Atlanta, Ga The contempt proceed -
liikh againtit Wm. J. liurriH and Dan
S 1 .chon, hIH Chief aid In the Frank
Investigation, whleh was net for Tues
day morning, has been postponed un
til next Friday morning.
Hums is In New York id the bed
side of his wife, who Is said to be se
riously 111, but expects to reach the
city by Friday, and for that reason the
postponement has been allowed by
Judge Hill, who Inaugurated the pro
ceedings, following the examination of
Annie Maud Carter, negro witness In
the case, who slated Horns and Dehon
suggested she leave the city, and paid
the expenses of a lengthy trip.
Attorneys generally believe Burns
and Dehon, when they are haled heCore
the court, will be able to purge thorn
selves of any contempt charge, by the
statement thut the woman was sent
from the city to protect her from de
tectives and not that she might fail to
appear In court.
Woman Ho, Returned.
When the court ordered her to re
turn In five days, the Burns agents
produced her and turned her over to
the sheriff In three days.
In addition, the woman won* under
no subpoena to appear before i|,e
court at any date when the Burns
agents suggested that she leave the
city. The rule nisi, ordered drawn
by Judge Hill, has not been served on
Dehon or the attorneys for himself
and Burns, Dittle, Powell, Hooper &
Goldstein.
It Is expected, however, that the pa
per will be drawn within the day and
then served on tho attorneys.
Although Friday has been set as the
definite date for the contempt hearing.
It Is not Improbable that the case wlli
l>« further postponed. If It Is post
poned again, It will go over indefinite
ly. probably, as on Saturday the mo
tion to set aside Ihe verdict against
Frank on tho ground that he was
not In court when It was rendered, Is
slated for it hearing. The following
Monday Judge Mill will take up the
routine criminal calendar.
Interest in Motion,
Interest In the Frank case centers
more largely In the motion to set aside
than In tlie contempt proceedings
ugalnst the two detectives.
If an Issue of fact Is made, as It will
be by the solicitor, oral testimony on
Hi e motion will he heard. Among
the witnesses will he Attorneys Do
ttier 7.. Rosser and Reuben It. Arnold,
of the defense, who are not connected,
however, with the special motion to
set aside the verdict. Another Inter
esting witness will probably be Judge
D. K. Roan, the trial Judge, but now a
Judge of the court of appeals. Judge
Roan will probably go on the witness
stand to be examined by the solicitor
snd the attorneys for Frank on all
points connected with receiving the
verdict In the sbsence of Frank.

CMMJJN JULY
Letters of Inquiry Coming
From All Parts of World
About Charges, Apart From
Tolls.
Panama. —Since- announcement that
the Panama canal probably will be
ready for through navigation by July
this year many letters of inquiry re
gardlng the conditions to be imposed
have been coming to the canal au
thorities from all parts of the world.
It is apparent that steamship com
panies of all the great maritime na
tionH expect to make an almost im
mediate use of the canal.
The communications also indicate
that in virtually .all cases the com
panies contemplate a through service
from European ports to those on the
west coast of North, Central and riouth
American countries. Among the in
quiries are those regarding tolls, con
ditions of navigation, pilotage in en
tering the terminal ports and through
the canal and the charges for this
service, wharfage facilities at Balboa
and Chrlstobal, location and equip
ment of repair shops, coaling and pro
visioning facilities and a host of other
Items relating directly to the usage
of the canal.
Most of these questions are ad
dresed to the governor of the Pan
ama Canal direct while others are
sent to Washington and are forwarded
to the isthmus. It is planned to turn
them over to the newly appointed su
perintendent of transportation, who
will be instructed by the governor to
supply the desired information. Steam
ship companies which already are rep
resented on the isthmus have sent
their local representatives to the ca
nal officials seeking similar * inform
ation.
It is apparent to the canal authori
ties that as soon as the waterway
shall have been thrown open much
greater use of It will be made than
bus been anticipated. It has been
stated that not more than 10,000,000
tons traffic could be expected for the
first year the canal Is in operation.
The letters of inquiry seem to make
It plain to the authorities here that
already a greater tonnage for the first
year is indicated.
Passenger-carrying lines aTe evinc
ing considerable interest in the ques
tion of passenger tolls through the
canal. This subject seems not to lie
have been settled to the satisfaction
of the companies who desire to be In
formed whether tolls will be charged
at all. and, if so, at what rate. The
letters indicate that most of the com
panies are preparing for a heavy pas
senger traffic through the canal next
year at or about the time of the for
mal opening and thence to the expo
sition at San Francisco.
Schedules of charges aside from tolls
for various services to he performed
by the Panama canal are In the course
of preparation and probably will b e
promulgated In an official circular
from the governor’s office in the near
future.
LETTERS FROM THE PEflflE
"SONGS THAT NEVER GROW OLD”
To the Editor of The Herald.
Sir: I am In receipt of your Song
Rook entitled “Sonus That Never
Grow Old.’’ and 1 thins It a perfect
traeaure and a hook that should be In
the home of every music lover.
The features of this book are in
every way commendable as It has the
words and music and is very artis
tically gotten up. 1 wii« very much
Interested to find the song, “No, Sir,"
as It records memories that are very
pleasant. Memories of a beautiful
country home at which place I have
s: ent many happy hours, a home in
which 1 found a beautiful young girl
that has made my life brighter and
my cares less burdensome.
I have In mlml another home, where
lived ft very dear old lady whole sti
ver locks had already marked her
for the tomb.
I remember her as she would often
sing that old son, “Come Ye Discon
solate"; this was one ot her favorites,
and Is to be found tn “Songs That
Never Grow Old.” These memories
are very sweet to me and as 1 write
these lines 1 am proud to say 1 did
all I could to make her happy while
she lived and In her last moments, as
1 held her hand, she realizing how
happy we had been In each other's
love, says, “Won’t you promise to
meet me in heaven?" and 1 promised
her. 1 have seen promises made by
children around the bedside of a dy
ing parent promises soon forgotten,
but I want to say mother's Influence
lives within me and U a part of my
life and while I have been tempted
many, many time* since her death,
the memory of her dear face has been
my guardian jmgel and to make good
the promise made her has been Ute
ruling passion of my life
Verv respectfully.
