KMIGH, Local Forecaster. 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. -£L} r * ov want flood pro- THK CITV AU UUSTA, complete and adequate pro tectlon, be sure you go to the polls • nd VOTE FOR THK UCVKK BONDS. 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.

TO SHE TOE • 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.
