CELEBRATING WASHINGTON’S BIRTHDAY
Next Monday', February 22, Is Washington’s birthday. It is a legal
holiday. Th<- Father of his Country, the one man who was first In
war, first In peace and first in the hearts of his countrymen, has been
honored by having his birthday made a national holiday.
We have in our country but two secular holidays, made regular na
tional holidays by legal enactment. These are July 4 and February 22,
the first the nation's blr’hday on which the declaration of Independence
was promulgated, and the second the b'rthday of its first president and
commander-in-chief of the Continental armies during the W'ar for inde
pendence. We have other holidays; some religious like Christmas
day, some secular but not general, like Memorial day, some general but
not by legal enactment, like Labor day, and one, Thanksgiving day,
made a holiday by special proclamation of the president and of the
various governors. But we have but two regular secular holidays which
are made such throughout the united States by law, and one of these
is Washington’s birthday.
This being tne case the day should be appropriately celebrated.
There may be those who do not look with favor upon holidays. They
ma think that these make a break In the regular routine of life which
is disorganizing. But that doesn’t alter the situation. February. 22 is
a national holiday, and as such it must be observed, whether individually
this arrangement suits us, or not. All public institutions must close.
There will be no mall, the hanks arid the schools will be closed. The
holiday spirit will pervade, and what Is propjer to be done under these
circumstances Is to make the most of them. And that is to celebrate
the day In a becoming manner.
What that is each one must determine for himself. A holiday, es
pecially a secular holiday, is not a Sabbath day. Rather is it a day of
general recreation, with special services or exercises appropriate to the
thing (hat Is to he celebrated. The various societies and organizations
may hold appropriate exercises to commemorate the life and services of
George Washington, and individually the day may be spent as it prom
ises to bring most pleasure.
To a certain extent this will he done In Augusta. A number of our
local organizations have special features in honor of the day. This
should be made as general as possible.
Washington's birthday is one of our national holidays, and as such
we should get the most that Is possible out of it.
THE RETURN OF THE BATTLESHIP* FLEET
Steaming leisurely across the Atlantic ocean our great battleship
fleet, after having circumnavigated the globe, Is approaching our shores.
It is scheduled to arrive at Hampton Roads, whence it sailed on Decem
ber 16, 1907, In time to Join in the naval program for Washington's
birthday, and it will arrive in ample time. Hence its course across
the Atlantic Is made at leisurely speed.
It Is a great naval feat that will have been accomplished by the
fleet when It shall drop anchor in the Virginia roa' 1 d. Never be
fore In she world’s history has such a powerful ff< i made such a
voyage, covering some 43,000 miles, and crossing every ocean. That such
a feat should have been accomplished by sixteen great, battleships, ac
companied by a number of auxiliaries and carrying 15,000 men, without
the single accident or untoward incident, constitutes one of the wonders
of the world. A modern first-class warship is a complex machine. Like
the human body it Is fearfully and wonderfully made. Yet this long
trip wus not only made per schedule by this great fleet, through calm
and storm, without a hitch or fault, but the ships all return in perfect
condition and ready for any emergency. It bears eloquent witness
of (he efficiency of our navy.
In every way the cruise has been wonderfully successful. During
the long trip not one of (he 3hips required docking, nor any repairs
that were not incidental and which could be made by the ship’s crew,
in the constant manoeuvers, at sea, and in the strange harbors entered
and the dangerous passages made there was not a Bingle accident. In
the target prac'ice with the big guns all records were broken, and the
last In Manila Bay, was the most efficient. The health of the men has
been excellent, all hough the fleet encountered yellow fever, cholera,
bubonic plague and other dread diseases at various ports. And thfe
conduct of our sailors, in the many port cities included In the Itinerary’,
has been so admirable that only praise has been heard at every port
I hat was visited.
In every way the great, historic cruise has been most successful,
and Justly our people may feel proud of the achievement and place con
lidenco In their navy. Caviling critics may rant, but a navy that can
accomplish such a seal in such manner will do to count on, both as to
lighting machines and men to fight them. If ever there should be need
for fighting.
The cruise has cost something of course, but the cost has not been
so great as some figure It out. It must be remembered that the great
er part of the expense was a fixed expense, Incidental to the navy. It
would have been (he same whether the fleet had made this trip or had
remained at home, In usual routine duty. The greatest Item of expense
was In coal. During she cruise 355,000 tons of coal were burned,
which was more than would have been burned had the ships remained
at home, although a warship keeps fire under her boilers all the time
while In commission. The greatest extra cost was In the transporta
tlon of the coal to distant ports.
But who will say that the n*ui*i\ In what it has accomplished and
demonstrated, whb not well worth this comparatively slight additional
cost?
JURY VERDICTS IN MURDER CASES.
By a peculiar coincidence, and yet as a logical sequence in the
way things have been going, there were tried In widely separated coun
ties In South Carolina almost at the same time three white men, charged
with having murdered white women. Drlgglrs. of Clnrendon county,
had killed his sister hv shooting h°r; Jones, of Union county’, has pois
oned his wife, and Lowe, of Aiken county had beat hiß wife and broken
her neck. In each case, after a full and fair trial and able defense by
counsel, the accused were found guilty. And in each case they were
recommeuded by the jury to the mercy of the court.
What a travesty on justice in such a verdict! If these men were
guilty and since the jury pronounced them guilty there can be no doubt
of thst—they committed the blackest crime. When It comas to a man
murdering a woman and thnt woman his wife or his sister, it woulld
be Impossible for him to reach a lower depth in crime. The severest
penalty prescribed by the law should be meted out to such criminals.
When therefore a jury recommenced the exercise of mercy in puntsn
ment for such a crime It was a snd miscarriage of justice, and when
three Juries almost simultaneously returned such verdicts in such cases
R was a gross travesty on justice and a pitiful commentary on the
courts.
In view of such a condition well may the Columbia State comment,
as it does;
"Arc we witnessing the final stage In the evolution of our jury
system under a lax public oonsclencv Is it aproaching a state of
rottenness that must excite revolt .’ First, negroes were murdered
with danger, then with immunity; next, white men were murdered
with dauger, then with Immunity; now the murdering of women,
white women by white men, is begun. There is danger but how
soon may the murderers count upon immunity when three Juries in
three widely separated parts of the state recommended mercy for
the three men convicted of murdering women!
"If it Is impossible for jurors, surrounded in these little coun
ties by relatives and friends of defendants, to consent to the hang
ing of a white man for murder, then jurors should be relieved of
that local influence which is proving ai Incubus upon the adminis
tration oi justice."
Trial by Jury for any crime is an inalienable right, which must be
sscredlv preserved. But such verdicts as these, and such a grand farce
as the recent choosing of a jury in the Nashville murder case, Indicate
that some reform or change In the choosing of juries in capital cases
is absolutely necessary, and unless a better remedy can be devised, the
State's suggestion of trying all such cases in some other than the home
county of the defendant would seem to be the right thing to do.
Unless crime be promptly pumshad nothing Is more certain than that
it will Increase. The safety of society demands thst murder be punish
ed, aud this is not being done under our jury system as it is being oper
ated now.

CHINESE RAILROADS
China’s fatal weakness has been
her lack of self-consciousness. This
is to he cured by a common educa
tion, by postal service, telegraph and
railroads. In 1902 there were 446
post offices in China; in 1907 there
were 2,803. In 1902 20,000,000 let
ters were posted; in 1907 167,000,000.
There are telegraph stations today
in practically all the 181 prefectural
cities and many others. Every pro
vince is knit to Pekin with electric
wires. The government has just
bought over most of the shares in the
enterprise, and proposes to turn Rs
large earnings into rapid extension of
lines. In November, 1908, orders
were issued from Pekin that tele
graph service be established with
Lassa, in Tibet. There are today
about 4,000 miles of railroad in China,
with over 1,000 miles under construe
tion; so that Kansu is the only pro
vince in the mpire in which rail
roads are not already running or pro
jected. Five railroads run into Pe
kin, and one of these, the Pekin-Kal
gan line, is financed, constructed, and
run by Chinese without any foreign
assistance or advice whatsoever. This
road tunnels under the great wall and
heads for the Mongolian Desert, and
in so doing seems to have cut the
spinal cord of the dreaded earth dra
gon forever. The ministry of com
munications has recently laid out a
scheme for the correlation of all the
railroad systems, with two trunk lines
bisecting the country from north to
south and from east to west, with
Hankow as the center, and with ra
diating lines attached to these great
arteries. Railroads are no longer ta
booed in the Celestial empire. All
concessions now provide for the gov
ernment's taking possession of the
lines after twenty-five years’ traffic,
and in October, 1908, a censor called
upon the government to acquire them
Kroner, that they miglht fulfill their
mission of “building up trade and con
f olidating the empire.” In the same
month the government suggested that
a railroad should he run to Lassa to
facilitate the administration of Ti
bet. No wonder the grand lama has
left his ancient fastnesses!— David
Lambuth, In Review of Reviews.
A LONG PERIOD OF PROS
PERITY AHEAD.
Is there any good reason why we
should not have a long period of pros
perity?
Good solid business conditions are
now gradually building along substan
tial lines. No booming and wild spec
ulating, but a growth based on the
fundamental principles governing
good financial conditions.
The panic times of 1907 removed
many of the hampering conditions
which were not conducive to a
healthy growth of the times. The
square deal policy inaugurated by
Theodore Roosevelt brpught a great
deal of disaster at the time, but' it
evidently- means better times from
the mere fact that the unclean busi
ness methods and policies which for
uwhile were saturating the business
world, have been started on a fair
road for a clearing out.

REACHING AJMENSION LIMIT?
There must be a limit somewhere
to the scope of the pension system,
congress laid down such a limit in
the law of 1890, and reaffirmed it in
the law of 1908. Why should It be
removed now? The trouble with ex
tensions of this sort is that one
breeds another, and if the widow who
married a veteran forty-eight or
forty-nine years after his discharge
from the service of the United States
is entitled to a pension, it may be
urged next that the oldest surviving
son or daughter of every veteran is
likewise entitled to life support from
the government. Under existing laws
the nation has provided most gener
ously for jthe veterans ‘of the Civil
war and those legitimately dependent
upon them and affected by their dis
abilities. But the line must be drawn
somewhere, and congress, having
rounded out our pension system in
the legislation of the last four years,
ought to set its face against further
extensions.
Last year’s expenditures on account
of military pensions was $155,894,-
049. That total has been exceeded
only once—in the fiscal year 1892-’93,
when the back payments authorized
by the law of 1890 reached their
maximum—and is about $12,000,000
greater than the average expenditure
between 1893 and 1907. It is ap
parent that congress has been most
openhanded in meeting the claims of
the Civil war pensioners, since but
for the increases in rates and the
numerous inclusions authorized in the
last four years, the annual expendi
ture would now have fallen to lesq
than $120,000,000. It is time to con
sider the pension system as adequate
and complete.—New York Tribune.

Evolution and Revolution.
A girl named plain "Mary" at her
birth dropped*the "r" when she grew
up and became “Miss May." As she
began to shine in a social way she
changed the “y” to “e" and signed

she was married, and now it’s plain
"Ma." There’s evolution.—Villa Rica

And growing up with Mary was a
boy named plain “Patrick." When
he became a man and went to col

dropped a letter from her name he (
