CAN’T BCARE THE PEOPLE.
While the opponents of I’realdenl
Wilson and the Democratic party are
talking hard times with frantic cheer
fulness and while the whole country
atnnds dlamnycd at the revelations
which have recently come to light con
cerning the prevalent customs and
habits of renowned financiers and hon
ored business men. thrre Is a great
st idylng Influence at work.
DDRhplte all the talk and furore
which Is directed toward prejudicing
the people against the Democratlc ad
ministration. there Is the conscious
ness that the woeful conditions which
has brought these things to pass are
being bettered through recent legis
lation
There are a few persons who are
caught bv the falilclnus arguments that
the hopeful calamity howlers are set
ting up; hut only a few, we think, and
for the moat part, they appear to be
long to that class which has persistent
ly and determinedly fought Woodrow
Wllaon from the first time his name
became promlmnent ns a ponible nom
inee of the Democratic party. What
these few refuse to admit, or to com
prehend, ts that big business In this
country has long been progressing
upon the very dangerous basis that
might makes right, that a thing la
only dishonest when the law so labels
It, and that a thief Is not a thief ts
he la a big robber and immune from
legal interference.
In the revelation* which the trust
hearings and investigation* are bring
ing out. It i* evident that the finances
of the country were destined to meet
a fearful eatacltarn. Business that
has gone on for to long on an utterly
unsound and fictitious basis cannot
continue to boom. The fortunate thing
is that there have been statesmen anil
political callers, wise and strong
enough to foresee the smash toward
which things were trending, and avert
It ny Improved legislation,
That some few people fall to grasp
and what thoae who have been deeply
Involved In thla aort of high-low fl
(lnanre dealre, that they shall not grasp
—la that the work at the Democratic
admlniatratlon haa —far from unset
thlng buslnesa—exercised an extraor
dinarily ateadylng Influence over the
country.
What might have been the effect,
had these shocking revelations of
corruption and robbery In our btiKinosa
system been presented to the public,
without the faith and hope which the
new legislation offers of better busl
nesa snd more honest standards In the
future, it Is hard to guess. but certain
we may be, that while we are now ex
periencing but the slight pause of a re
j djuatment to sounder foundations, w»
would then be suffering a severe panic
snd complete demoralisation.
All this commotion about stopping
the trust hearings and letting business
rest Is just a part of the same old
work that was done to slop tariff re
vision and currency refhrm. These
measures have gone through calmly
and determinedly and many of the
hankers and business men who frothed
at the mouth and shouted loudest to
obstruct thla work have come around
and proclaimed their faith and sat
isfaction In them The same thing
will occur when thla much-dreaded re
inforcement of the anti-trust laws la
completed.
The worse to* he feared la that more
honest and more qua! standards will
become established. Who should fear
this so much s# those w ho are profiting
by methods which do nut measure t*'
such standards?

THE SANDMAN STORY
FOR TONIGHT
By MRS. F. A. WALKER.
John was very fond of playing trick
■ter Jokes, as he called them, and often
made others uncomfortable to have
what he tailed his fun.
Spotty, the eat, had many times had
her tail pulled when site was dozing
In th€< min In such a rough manner
that she would meow loudly and run
away.
Once John connected an electrical
battery with her milk and poor Spotty
would not touch milk again for a long
time. Another time he tied her front
pawn together, ami while it did not
hurt her, it made her hop about in the
most uncomfortable manner, much to
the amusement of John.
Toby, the dog, also came in for his
shay of troubles. John would harness
him to a little cart, which poor Toby
disliked very much and drive him
through the streets.
Sometimes when Toby was sleeping
John would steal up softly and tickle
his tar with a long straw and tie some
thing to his tall so when Toby walked
it would rap his bind legs and he
wound get Into all sorts of positions
trying to free himself.
One night when John was getting
ready for bed his mother was talking
to him shout bothering Toby, and
“We must tie his hands also,”
said Toby.
Spotty. "How would you like It If «
big hoy came along while you were
asleep and fastened your feet with a
chain or pulled your hair until you
cried out with pain?" she naked John.
"You must be kind to animals and
not torment them," his mother con
tinued. "they cannot tell you how un
corfatble you makke them."
John wax thinkings about what hla
mother said when he got into bed, and
suddenly he heard a noise and looking
toward the door he was urprtsed to
see Toby and Spotty walking toward
him on their hind legs.
“Mere he Is." said Toby, "now what
shall we do first?”
"1 didn’t know you could talk," said
John, "when did you begin?"
"We could always talk," replied
Toby, "only you could not understand
us. hut now we have decided to have
some fun with you and we are speak
ing your language, so you may know
Just why we do these things.”
"Yes," said Spotty, “we are tired of
being bothered and we are going to
give you a few of your own Joke* and
see how you like them."
"You are asleep.” said Toby, "hut
you think you are awake; let us tie his
arms first," said old Spotty.

INDOOR SPORTS s e* By Tad
John’s Dream
Spotty took from under her arm or
paw a piece of strong twine and before
John could get out of bed Toby held
him fast and Spotty tied hla legs to
gether. "We must tie Ilia hands also,”
said Toby, "for you know he can untie
his feet.”
So John's arms were tied behind
him and then Toby tickled his ear with
a straw. John rolled over and tried
to get away and Toby and Spotty
laughed at hls queer antics.
"You should be ashamed of your
selves," said John, at last; "I gave
you both a good home and plenty to
eat, and this is the way you repay
me.”
"That’s all true," replied Toby, “but
Spotty keeps the rats and mice away
and l guard the house at night, but
you are not grateful; you torment us
when we try to sleep and when we are
awake, and we are tired of it.”
“Let us pull hls hair,” said Spotty;
"he pulls my tall.”
"Mine, too,” said Toby, giving
John’s hair a vigorous pull.
“Ouch, ouch," cried John.
"Doesn't lie sound funny,” said Spot
ty, giving John's hair a pul from be
hind.
"Stop! Stop!" cried John; “you
hurt."
"You have hurt us many times," re
plied Spotty. "Let us leave him now,”
she said to Toby.
"I>o you mean to leave me like this?”
asked John. "I cainnot walk until you
untie my feet."
"Why shouldn't we?” asked Spotty.
“You tled our paws otgether and we
have to tug and pull until the string
comes off; you can do the same."
And away they ran, shaking their
heads and laughing.
John pulled and tugged, but It was
of no use; the string held him fast
"I wli call for help," he said at last;
but to hls urprlse he could not maka
a sound. He tried and tried, and at
last he gave one more pull to the
strings that bound him and tried to
scream at the same time.
This time he did make a noise, and
the tlrst thing he knew he stood on
the floor beside his bed and hls fath
er and mother were standing In the
doorway.
"What in the world is the matter?"
asked hls mother.
John felt very foolish, for he knew
he had been dreaming and he did not
want to tell his dream.
"Did you have a bad dream?” asked
hls father.
"Yes," replied John.
“Well, get Into bed." said his moth
er; "we are right in the next room
and nothing can hurt you."
John remembered bis dream the
next day and he looked at Toby ami
Spotty ns they dosed beside the Are.
but he did not bother them, for he did
not feel at all sure they did not know
something about the uncomfortable
dream as they lookked very knowing
when they opened their eyes and
looked at him whenever he came near
them, and John did not care to have
another dream like the one he had the
night before.

AUGUSTA HERALD. AUGUSTA, GA.
THE WAYS OF THRIFT
Copyright, 1914, American Society For Thrift.
THRIFT IN TRANSIT.
Twenty-three of the lamest German cities are showing thrift in the
management of their transit lines by getting the most good out of their
expenditures for the convenience, comfort and prosperity of the public,
both in the cities and suburbs.
In Berlin the street car service is excellent. There are more seats
than passengers at almost any hour of theday. Not more than seven per
sons are ever permitted to stand. In this city where the elevated line is
under private management, the service has been brought up to a high
standard and compares well with the surface lines run by the municipal
ity. In the German capital the right of way of the elevated roads has been
planted with grass and flowers, and fitted with benches and other con
veniences. All through the crowded city the elevated roads make lines of
green which are free for the use of the public. The stations are enclosed
from the weather and are beautiful in design. The elevated is called the
"umbrella of Berlin" because it affoi ds shelter from rain and sun. Both
surface and elevated lines are so constructed that there is a minimum of
noise. The average fare is 2% cents.
Dresden is typical of the number of devices for conveniences to pas
sengers. A stranger can easily use the street railways without knowing
the German language or the street arrangement. Each of the 18 lines is
designed by a number which has a conspicuous place on the front of the
car. The cars with the even numbered routes are painted red and the odd
numbered rouie cars are painted yellow. The cars make their stops in the
middle of blocks so that they do not interfere with traffic at street cor
ners. Inside the car on one side is a map showing the route of the car
lines together with their numbers, and on the other side of the car is a
map showing the various zones into which the city is divided. The cars
are supplied with clocks which are advertisements of their makers. Two
cents is the average fare for a single ride, and four cents is the maximum
fare.
Through wise, thriftfy expenditures, these German cities have lim
inated tlie strap hanging which is prevalent in the large American cities.
The public travel in comfort at about half the price Americans usually pay.
They have placed the transportation of the public on the same basis’ as
their health, police and tire protection. Their employes are paid better
wages than in the past. These cities are buildipg for permanence, and in
dustry is encouraged by their cheap fares. It is demonstrated that with
these low rates and generous transfers, the congested conditions, high rents
and unsanitary, poor housing in the over-crowded cities, is already in some
degree diminished. Suburbs are developed by cheap commutation and the
working claaes are allured to the surrounding country, and its available
land for gardens.
THE USE OF OPIUM IN THE
UNITED STATES
In the June American Magazine a
former newspaper man who is now an
inmate of a penitentiary records his
experiences with opium He writes
under the title "A Modern Opium
Eater" and he signs hls article "‘No.
which is his number in the peni
tentiary where he is confined. Follow
ing Is an extract from the article:
"Few people in the United States
realize the extent to which opium
and kindred drugs are being used to
day in this country. You, my reader,
may have read of the Federal Gov
ernment's strict prohibitive luw
against the Importation of smoking
opium, and concurred idly and with
out interest. But do you know that
the I'nited Stutes Revenue Service
has a roster of over three thousand
known users of opium in San Fran
cisco alone? Countless other thou
sands are unregistered. Every other
great city in the country has similar
rosters, and numbers Its 'flneds' by
thousands and tens of thousands.
Hundreds of cans of the contraband
drug are sold daily in New Y'ork, Chi
cago, Denver, New Orleans, Salt I .ake,
and Portland. The United States army
posts have been Invaded, and thou
sands of the wearers of our country's
uniform are users of opium, morphine,
and cocaine. The severest penalties
have not seemed even to check the
habit.
"Starting at the Prestdto tn San
Francisco with transports returning
from the Orient, the drug habit has
spread among the enlisted men tn the
army hy leaps and bounds The rea
son ts easily found. Not one umn tn
a hundred, once he has tested the
peace, the mtnd-ease. the soothed
nerves and the surcease from all sor
rows, disappointments, and responsi
bilities that come from a first use of
opium, ever again has the will-power
to deny himself that delightful nepen
the. Opium ts like the salary loan
shark -a friend today, smoothing dif
ficulty and trouble with a free and
easy hand Tomorrow It becomes a
master, exacting a toll a hundredfold
more terrible than the ills it eased,”
THE REAL CRISIS.
(Rpoheatcr Post-Express.)
Anxious to say something to please
and encourage the Progressive con
tingent tn Congress when they came
to see him a day or two ago. Colonel
Roosevelt told them that they “had
faced a real crisis" and that hts orig
inal feeling for them had now been
changed to "admiration and respect.”
It might tie Inferred from this that
his original feeling was something
short of complimentary, but they had
not faced any crisis then and It was
not clear how they would act Just
what the crisis was which they met
so manfully the colon*! does not spec
ify, and no concrestional ertats comes
to mlml in which their course was
greatly to their credit. It is true that
when the Wilson-Underwood tariff bill
came up for passage it was a critical
momement for the country; but the
Senate Progressives Joined with the
Democrats to force it through and the
House Progressives divided on that
issue so that if half of them met the
crisis well the other half must have
met it miserably.
It hardly seams as if that could be
the real crisis the colohel refers to,
and it must be that he has inmind
the staunchness with which they have
stood up for the third party while the
party itself was melting away before
their eyes It takes a high degree of
heroism for a congressman to call him
self a Progressive when there aer not
enough voters of that faith left in his
district to hold a nominating conven
tion. Strictly speaking, this is rather a
condition than a crisis—a state of par
ty atrophy and gradual wasting or de
cay, and not such an emergency as is
commonly called critical. But this is
probably what the colonel meant for
their real crisis lies ahead of them on
election day this fall.
