The Savannah Tribune. VOL. XXIV. SALARY OF PRESIDENT Fixed at Seventy-Five Thousand Dollars a Year By Congress. All Other Salary Increases Were Stricken by the House and the Senate Forced to Acquiesce. Washington, D. C.—The salary of the president of the United States has been definitely fixed at $75,000 per annum without any additional allowance for travelling expenses. This conclusion was arrived at by two conference committees of the two houses of congress, one on the legislative, executive and judicial bill and the other on the sundry civil appropriation bill. Originally the senate inserted an amendment in the legislative bill giving the president a salary of $100,000 a year. The house reduced the amount to $75,000 and the conference on that measure resulted in the retention of the house figures. Anticipating the possibility of this conclusion with reference to the salary, the senate inserted in the sundry civil bill a provision appropriating $25,000 for the payment of the president's traveling expenses. Later the senate also receded from that amendment) thus leaving a flat salary of $75,000 for the president, out of which he must pay his own way when traveling. The senate lost all of its other amendments for increase of salaries for high officials, such as the vice president, the speaker of the house, the supreme court judges and other federal judges. PENAL CODE BILL PASSED. Regulates Shipment of Liquor and Selection of Federal Juries. Washington, D. C.—The penal coe bill passed the senate after the elimination of the obnoxious sections which the democrats opposed as being remnants of the reconstruction era. This bill contains, the anti-jurider. It has finally run the gauntlet in both houses and will go to the president for his signature. From the section which declares that troops of the United States shall not be used in any state except in case of war or to keep peace at the polls, the words "to keep peace at the polls" were stricken. This relic of reconstruction horrors will no more find a place on the statute books. Another section affecting the right to serve on juries, which provided that no citizen of the United States should be discriminated against in the matter of selection for jury duty because of race, color or previous condition of servitude, was eliminated from the bill. The means that negroes may be kept off the juries Many southern senators were placed in a most embarrassing position on account of this measure. They were bitterly opposed to the obnoxious security measures that were desirous of having enacted into law the prohibition amendment. The antitjug law was put on as an amendment to the code bill by the house. The senate had adopted the measure as an independent bill, which had been reported by the judiciary committee by Senator Knox. It was similar to the bill originally introduced in the house by Dr. Branley or Georgia. The amendment prohibits any railroad or express company from acting as the agent of buyer or seller in consignments of liquor. The carrier may transport the liquor, but it must have nothing else to do with the transaction. The bill is intended to prohibit C. O. D. shipments or liquor to fictitious persons and to break up an arrangement by which express company has been made branch offices of the liquor house. The bill requires that every package of liquor shipped in interstatae commerce shall be plainly marked on the outside cover. Violations are punishable by fines of not more than $5,000 or imprisonment for two years, and there is an alternative to the last provision that the liquor may be seized and destroyed. The revision defines more clearly the jurisdiction of the federal court over cases coming within the admiralty and maritime law; it enlarges the statute so as to reach modern developments as to new methods of committing crime, and the extension of American territory; it prohibits not only "obscene" literature, but "bitty" literature from the mails; it eliminates some of the so-called "Ku Klux" laws. Practically the only new legislation is that to punish "leaks" of governmental statistical information, and the regulation of interstate shipments of intoxicating liquors. In order that any serious error might be corrected, the bill does not become effective until January 1, 1910, enabling congress, when it meets next December, to correct any serious mistake or omission. EXPLOSION KILLS TWO. Twelve Injured in Disaster in Pennsylvania Coal Mine. Wilkesbarre, Pa.—Number 14 colliery, of the Pennsylvania Coal Company, was the scene of a terrific explosion of gas, which caused the death of two men and the serious injury of twelve others. The explosion set fire to the woodwork in the Pittsburgh gangway, entombing forty men. A large party of rescuers were put to work, but, owing to the presence of black damp, they made slow progress. Fortunately, there was a second exit from the mine, and the employees behind the fire succeeded in making their way to the surface unarmed. Many of the Old Timers Are to Leave the House and Senate. Washington, D.C.—Twelve senators, and seventy-seven representatives who are members of the present congress will be absent when the sixty-first congress assembles in special session on March 15. The reelection of Mr. Hopkins, in Illinois, and Mr. Stephenson, in Wisconsin, not yet having taken place, it is possible their failure of election will augment the number of senatorial absentees to fourteen. The changes in the personnel of the senate and house include many whose names are bywords to every reader of newspapers. Of the seventy-seven representatives who retire on March one, Mr. Hepburn of Iowa, has served twenty-two years in congress, and another, Mr. Shermah of New York, who becomes vice president, has served 20 years in the house. Mr. Cousins of Iowa and Delegate Smith of Arizona have served sixteen years, while Mr. Jenkins of Wisconsin, Cooper of Texas, Overstreet of Pennsylvania, each have served fourteen years. In years of service Senator Teller of Colorado is the nestor of the retiring statesmen, having been elected senator upon the admission of his state to the union, taking his seat December 4, 1876, since which time he has been continuously and prominently in the public eye. He will retire voluntarily on March 4. Senator Foraker, whose political career is fresh in the minds of every one, has served in the senate twelve years. Senator Hemenway succeeded Vice President Fairbanks. Previous to that he had been a prominent member of the house since the fifty-fourth congress, being chairman of the committee on appropriations when he resigned to go to the senate. Senator McCreary, also had a long service in the house of representatives, having entered that body in the forty-ninth congress, and after serving six terms, entered the senate six years ago. Other senators who will retire on March 4 are Ankeny of Washington, Fulton of Oregon Gary of South Carolina, Hansbrough of North Dakota, Kittedge of South Dakota, Long of Kansas, Milton of Louisiana and Platt of New York. Representative Hephurn of Iowa has been conspicuously interested in all matters relating to interstate commerce, his connection with public affairs going back to ante-bellum days, he having been a delegate to the republican national convention in 1860. John Sharp Williams, former minority leader of the house, retires to enter the senate two years hence. Representative John Adam Bede of Minnesota, who has contributed to the humor of many congresses, and Bourke Cochran of New York, who has figured in many oratorical contests, also will retire. Among the retiring representatives are: Arkansas, Brundagee; Florida, Lamar; Georgia, Lewis; Illinois, Knopf, McGavin and Caldwell; Indiana, Foster, Chaney, Holliday, Watson, Overstreet; Landia, Crumpacker and Gillham; Kentucky, A. D. James and Kimball; Louisiana, Favret; Maryland, Jackson and Wolf; Mississippi, Hill, McLain and Williams; Missouri, Ellis, Caulfield, Smith, Russell, Hackney and Lamar; Nebraska, Pollard and Boyd; New York, Waldo, Cochran, McMillan, Sherman, Porter and Ryan: North Carollna, Hackett and Crawford; Ohio, Harding, Bannon, Mouser, Laning, Dawes and Weems; Oklahoma, Fulton and Davenport; Tennessee, Hale and Gaines; Texas, Cooper; Vermont, Haskins; Washington, Jones; Wisconsin, Murphy and Jenkins; Delegate Cole of Alaska. MADMAN KILLED BY PBEACHER. Rev. Eastman Shot George Marcotte, Who Was Crazed by Drink. Tample, N. H.—While crazed with drink George L. Marcotte, a valet in the employ of Brigadier General Jas. Miller, United States Army, ran amuck and, after shooting at several villagers, was shot and killed by the Rev. Harvey Eastman, pastor of the local Congregational Church. The tragedy occurred at General Miller's residence, one and a half miles from Tample. Marcotte had been drinking freely for some time. He seized one of General Miller's pistols, discharged it at random and drove the general and his housekeeper to General Miller telephoned to Tample for assistance, and, in response, eight armed men hastened Miller's home. They surrounded the house, hoping to induce Marcotte to surrender, but the valet refused to do so; and, in attempting to escape from the house, was shot and killed by Rev. Mr. Eastman. Union Men Win. Cincinnati, Ohio.-The union men win and the employers lose in the long-fought case of the Typothetae of America against the International Printing Pressmen's union, according to a decision rendered by the United States circuit court of appeals. The decision establishes an 8-hour day. Austrian Soldiers Safe. Innsbruck, Austria.—The detachment 'of six officers and twenty-five men of the Austrian army who were reported overwhelmed by an avalanche near LaFarne has been rescued. They were found in a tunnel where they had taken refuge. The tunnel was covered with snow. THE TRIBUNE OFFICE REMOVED TO 462 WEST BROAD STREET. SAVANNAH, GA., SATURDAY, MARCH 6, 1909. DANGEROUS EMIGRANTS Many Succeed in Getting Into the United States. REPORT OF THE COMMISSION Submitted to Congress States That Exclusion Laws Are Strong But Not Enforced. Washington, D. C. — Some facts showing the tar-treaching character of the work of the joint commission on immigration, which was appointed by congress February 20, 1907, were presented to congress through the publication of a preliminary report by the commission. This report deals with practically every phase of the immigration question, including oriental alters and other excluded classes: peonage, charity among immigrants, this slave, made conitions of steerage, anthropology, congestion in large cities, allen criminality, compaction of immigrants, school inquiries, administration of the immigration laws, distribution of immigrants and other questions. The commission says it is generally admitted by those acquainted with the subject that, notwithstanding the fact that the present law proposes to provide for the exclusion of every undesirable immigrant, thousands of undenably undesirable persons are admitted each year. It has been found that the law in theory, so far as its exclusion provisions are concerned, is exceptionally strong, but in effect it is in some respects weak and ineffectual. The commission says it has discovered several sources of this weakness, and it is its purpose to find the others and to recommend some effective remedies. It has been found that in numerous instances persons afflicted with contagious diseases, and even criminals or a dangerous type, have been able to evade the immigration laws and come to this country under the pretense of being seamen. Notwithstanding the expenditure of about five hundred thousand annually to enforce this law, the commission find that it does not prevent the coming of Chinese laborers in considerable numbers. The most extensive and important work undertaken by the commission is the general field investigation into the economic and social status of immigrants in various sections of the country. A special field investigation is being conducted in selected localities in the south, and it will cover the sentiment of legislative bodies, as indicated by legislation enacted affecting immigration. Inducements and obstacles to immigration, such as climate, character of soil, free or cheap land, amount, variety and regularity of work throughout the year, wages paid and hours concerning the employment of women and children, the prejudice against races, the presence or scarcity of fellow countrymen, the church and school facilities, and a vast amount of other information. The public school is declared by the commission to be the most potent influence in promoting the assimilation and Americanization of the immigrant. Peonage is being made the subject of a special inquiry. One of the most interesting subjects is an investigation being conducted in nearly a hundred cities to show to what extent the immigrant is the recipient of charity. DIAMONDS FOR MRS. ROOSEVELT. Valuable Necklace Presented to Her by Friends. Washington, D. C.—A string of 35 diamonds and an illuminated and embossed friendship book were presented to Mrs. Theodore Roosevelt as a token of the esteem of 38 of her friends, prominent society women of Washington. They were not presented to Mrs. Roosevelt in person, but were handed to an attendant at the white house door. The names of the other donors have not been made public. While the cost of the string of diamonds is unknown, some estimate of its value may be gained from the knowledge that the contributions ranged from $50 to $100 from each of the 38 donors. The center diamond weighs two carats and the other 34 are graduated down to quarter carat diamonds at either side of the small clasp. The friendship book, measuring 8 by 10 inches, is bound in cream-colored calfskin, highly embossed and lined with moire silk. In the center of the cover, Mrs. Roosevelt's monogram, "E. K. R." appears in gold. The six pages are of vellum, and on the first page a quotation from Mony and Cleopatra is traced in gold: "Whose virtue and whose general graces speak that which none else can utter." NEARLY FOUR MILLIONS. Relief Distributed to Earthquake Sufferers. Rome, Italy.—The international committee has published a statement showing that on February 26 it had disbursed $3,689,920, which was disbursed as 100,000s. This leaves about $937,000, which will be absorbed mostly in alding poor students. The needs of the distressed population are appalling. Taft Says Historians Will Rank President Wilkinson and Washington With Lincoln and Washington. New York City. — President-elect William H. Taft, according to The American, gave that paper a statement containing the following appreciation of Theodore Roosevelt: "It is difficult for one with the depth of anction that I feel for Theodore Roosevelt to give a judicial estimate of the man, but I verily believe that when the historian twenty years hence shall describe his administration and the influence that he has on the chief executive of the country, he will accord to him a place with Washington and Lincoln, and that he will treat him, as we are prone now to regard Washington and Lincoln, as providentially raised up to meet an exigency in the country's history that was only less important than the revolution and the civil war." - HE PLEADED FATNESS. Alleged He Was Too Fat to Rob Man in Narrow Alley. Ossiming, N. Y.—William Green, who gained considerable notoriety by his novel plea that he was too fat to rob a man, in an alley in which it was alleged that the crime was committed, added another feature to his eccentric defense when arraigned for sentence. He submitted a petition signed by ninety women of this place, which read as rolls: "We do hereby certify that we always felt safe in passing this section while William Green was in that neighborhood, because he would never let any Italians both us. We believe that he has made this place safe for ladies to pass by without interference or fear and we pray for lenency for Green." The prosecuting attorney showed that Green had a bad record, however, and he was sentenced to serve four years and six months in prison, despite his petition. SONS AND FA1HERS FIGHT DUELS. Son Killis' Father Near Birmingham. Sons Wound Father at Dublin. Birmingham, Ala.—Powell Ernest, 16 years old, shot and killed his father, C. O. Ernest, at their home at Jonesboro. The boy was tracked with bloodhounds for five miles, and buried in the hearsed room of Robinson at Bessemer. He says that his father was beating him unmercifully when he drew a gun and killed him. Dublin, Ga.-F. A. Brantley and Whit Brantley shot and seriously wounded their father, Jake Brantley, brother of ex-Senator C. W. Brantley of Dublin. The shooting took place at Brewton, ten miles from here, and was caused from a family row. The father was hit three times. The father fired three times at the sons, but missed. F. A. Brantley states that his father fired the first shot, then he and his brother opened fire. TEN PERISH IN FIRE Set By Incendiary in New York Tenement House. New York City—An incendiary fire in the five story brick tenement house, 374 Seventh avenue, caused the death of ten persons and the injury of a score of others. An investigation showed that the stairs and halls from the basement to the top floor had been saturated with kerosene oil. Six months ago the owner of the building received a threatening black malling letter. The dead are all Italians. Six of them were old people, and four children. A fireman had his right hand almost covered by falling glass, and two inmates of the tenement were severely burned getting out of the building. Presents for Fairhanks Washington, D. C.—Senator Daniel, in benalf of the democrats of the senate, presented a loving cup to Vice president Fairbanks, the presentation taking place in the latter's office. A beautiful silver service, costing $1.155, was also presented to the vice president by Senator McCumber on behalf of the entire senate. American Ambassador Resigns. Rome, Italy.-Lloyd Griscom, the American ambassador here has forwarded his resignation to Washington to be acted upon by the incoming Taft administration. Won't Limit Skyscrapers' Height. New York City.-Skyscrapers in the city are not to be limited to three hundred and fifty feet in height, according to a decision of a committee of the board of estimates. At a meeting the committee approved the proposal to construct buildings of tower type to any height so long as the buildings allow light and ventilation for adjoining structures. Carnegie Gives Half a Million. Richmond, Va. — Treasurer Eppa Hunton of the University of Virginia, commissioner in charge of one of the million dollar endowment funds, has received a check from Andrew Carnegie, the founder of the institution, promised by Mr. Carnegie, contingent on the university raising a similar amount, which has been done. Southern Navy Yards Closed. Washington, D. C.-By direction of the president and in accordance with the recommendations of the general board of the navy, Secretary Newberry gave orders for the closing of the navy yards at Pensacola' and New Orleans. CRUM HAS RESIGNED Negro Collector at Charleston S. C. Retires Voluntarily SAVESTAFTEMBARRASSMENT Charleston, S. C.—With the resignation of Dr. William D. Crum, as collector of customs at this port, the resignation taking effect March 4, a situation which threatened to cause President-elect Tatt considerable embarrassment is avoided. No appointment made by President Roosevelt during either of the administrations has given rise to as much discussion as that of Dr. Crum whose appointment as collector at Charleston was vigorously opposed because of the fact that he is a negro. Dr. Crum says that no pressure has been brought to bear on him now to cause him to resign, but that he does so in part because he wishes to save Mr. Taft, for whom he entertains great respect, from any possible entanglement, and chiefly because he feels that he has been especially identified with the Roosevelt administration, and he wishes to retire with his chief. In his letter to President Roosevelt Dr. Crum thanks the president for approaching him six years ago, and recommending him recently for a second term. Washington, D. C.—The resignation of W. D. Crum as collector of the port of Charleston is taken here to verify the prediction made some time ago that Crum will be brought brought to Washington and succeed John B. Dancey, the negro register of deeds of the District of Columbia. While Mr. Taft has never, in any of his speeches, specifically barred negroes from office in the south, he has made statements which have had no other meaning. The negro pie counter republicans and the professional white republicans in the south, who have been holding federal offices since Lee surrendered at Appomattox, are in a fair way to find their occupation taken away by the new administration. Southern congressmen will be heeded more than ever before, and the officers of the newly organized Taft clubs are expected in many states to take the place of the referees of the present administration. The negroes have been inclined to resent Mr. Taft's attitude toward their race. Leaders of that race like William T. Vernon, register of the treasury, have, however, urged them to be cautious. They-cite Mr. Taft's speeches to the colored people, his contribution to the negro orphanage at Augusta, which crowned with success a movement to pay off the debts and his speech in New York, in aid of the Booker Washington school at Tuskegee, as evidence of his fairness toward the race. PROGRESS OF CANAL WORK. 82,751,924 Yards of Earth Removed. 111,904,631 Yards. Remain 62,51,924 Yards or Earth Removed 111,94,671 Yards Remain. Colon, Panama. - Final estimates have been prepared of the amount of work that will have to be done to complete the Panama canal. These these have many ammunition to session, there was required for the construction of the canal, as at present planned, a total excavation of 174,666,595 cubic yards. Of this amount there had been excavated at the end of January 62,751,924 cubic yards, or a little more than one-third, leaving 111,940,671 cubic yards still to be removed. - The estimate of total excavation made by the minority members of the international board of consulting engineers, authors of the lock canal under construction, was 103,795,000 cubic yards. There will also be required under the present plan 29,87,000 cubic yards of filling for locks and dams, which is about 7,000,000 cubic yards less than the amount estimated by the minority members. There will also be required 5,015,400 cubic yards of concrete, an excess of 2,000,000 cubic yards over the estimate of the minority members. BIG LOSS IN REVENUE Government Report for January Shows Great Decrease. Washington, D. C.—The monthly statement of the collections of internal revenue show the total receipts for January were $16,399,651, which is a loss as compared with January, 1908, of $1,342,853. For the seven months of the present fiscal year, the receipts were $147,378,984, a decrease as compared with the corresponding period in 1908 of $7,516,474. By far the heaviest decrease for February was in spirits, which amounted to $1,120,249. Tobacco showed an increase of nearly $90,000. ARMY ESSENTIAL TO PEACE Gomez, President of Cuba, Wants a Fighting Force. Havana, Cuba. — President Gomez has sent a message to congress urging the necessity of immediately organizing an army, saying while not needed while the pacificators were here, it is now essential to the country's peace. The president asks congress to appropriate $1,023,344 to equip the whole 5,000 rurales and 5,000 permanents with new uniforms and rifles, field and mountain batteries and ammunition, as well as 2,000 horses. He says all ought to be under one head, and asks congress to select an inspector general and staff. LATE NEWS NOTES. While cleaning unriftwood out of a stream at the old site or lanceon home, west of Locatur, In., D. Coquan urged from the water an ean log in which was cut with a knife: "A Lincoln, March 4, 1832" Abraham Lincoln and his father made their most in Illinois at the spot where the log was found. Dr. B. McCoy, colored, who was cabin inoy for the river beaver "w," w. Calmier, that burned to the waters edge in the spring or loot at Gainesville, Ala., with a loss of 22 lives, was killed at Stone, Ala., recently by an electric car. McCoy saved the lives of six people by swimming with them to the shore. Dr. G. C.

When one hundred years old she winked her a nine Sunday to attend services. Farm jobs in the west and the crying demand for agricultural labor is a myth and a share, according to John G. Earl, financial secretary of the Bowyery mission in New York city, he declares that while he receives countless newspaper clippings and other communications purporting to snow that farmers are busy in need or help and ready to employ the idle men of the city, the mission is unable to locate the addresses or get any definite information. The iev. Johnston Myers has established a salute room for women in the Immunel baptist church or college. Heather no one who crosses the threshold will be permitted to enter a word, even in a wisplet. The room is fitted with large couches and lounging chairs, and the women who make use of it may take a nap when they choose. "I know women who are on the verge of a breakdown for the simple reason that they have no place where they can remain annotously quiet. I think our room will solve the problem," says Dr. Myers. E. H. R. green, son of Mrs. Hetty Green, announced recently that he is going to be an air snip navigator. Several months ago he placed his order with the Wright brothers for a machine—the same as that used by Wilbur Wright in his flights in France. Work on his machine is to begin in July. On the many million dollars' worth of buildings owned by the United States government in the Panama Canal Zone no insurance is carried. The government has spent $10,250,000 in buildings in the zone, which amount taxes no account of the value of the buildings purchased from the French, both in the Canal Zone and the republic of Panama, nor value of the property in all the buildings, including the large amount' of stores. Washington. President Roosevelt regards the Panama canal as the greatest work of his administration and places the dispatch of the fleet around the world second, and the settlement of the Russian-Japanese war third, according to the Chicago Daily News. The president has thus enumerated the accomplishments of his administration to a well known writer who asked him what he regarded as the greatest achievement during his term as president. In compliance with the order of Secretary of War Wright, approved by President Roosevelt, General Marshall, chief of engineers, has arranged to replace the name of Jefferson Davis on the commemorative tablet on Cable John bridge, from which it was erased in 1862 by direction of Caleb Smith, secretary of the interior, who had jurisdiction over the bridge as part of the district water supply system. The tablet now bears the names of President Lincoln and Pierce and Secretary of War Simon Cameron and various others. The entire inscription as it now stands will be erased and the name recut into the smooth surface of the tablet. The comptroller of the currency has consolidated the present assignments of National Bank Examiners A. E. Patton and James R. Stephens, which includes the states of Alabama, Mississippi and Louisiana. Examinations to banks in this district will be made alternately by these examiners; with the exception of the banks situated in the reserve city of New Orleans, which will be examined by the two examiners working together. It has always been the custom to allow the president of the senate when he assumes office to select a handsome ink stand. The senate pays for it and permits the vice president to take it with him when he leaves office. Vice President Fairbanks four years ago, ordered an ink stand from a well known New York firm of silversmiths costing $500. The price paid has caused a great deal of comment on the part of certain senators, and now Vice President Fairbanks has sent a check for $200 to the clerk of the senate authorizing him to apply it as part payment on the ink stand in question. A magnificent bronze in the form of a crouching cougar was given to the president by his "tennis-cabinet." This company is chartered under the laws of the State of Georgia, and has complied with all the requirements of the state insurance department therefore all policy holders are protected with all the safeguards and that the strict insurance laws of this State seek to protect its citizens.

SATURDAY, MARCH 6, 1909 Pein sce meee Severat attempts have been madb to keep alive the Business League in this city. For. some reason failures have been the re- sult. This does not ee swell Zor an enterprising city like ours. The fasinednen should Som togeth- er and keepalive this organization. We have in our community men whom we can in a business way place unbounded confidence. Theit uprightness, success and integrity in this respect merit confidence. /These men are the safe azchorage of the race and with whom the un- experienced ones “should confer; especially when it come to invest ments, etc, ‘Tne Senate of the United States has a good working majority of Republicans, and yet these Repub- licans are allowing the Democrats to put up a “bold bluff,” especial: ly when it- comes to the confirma- tion of a colored appointee.. What has become of the stalwart men of the Senate? The , Republican members of this body’ are respon- sible to the party for their action in these cases, Just how far the Republicans will allow the Demo- crats to.dictate them remain {ito be seen. Wruu1am Howarp Tarr is our new President. All true Republi- cans are hopeful of his actions as an executive, He is expected to carry ont the pledges of the party, and his treatment of the colored Republicans is expected to be in accord with the deep laid princi- ple of the party to which these voters arc so loyally devoted. President Taft’s judicial mind, his high sense of party integrity and his feeling of justness toward the colored ee, will cause him to keep the even tenor of his way, and not allow himseif to be sway- ed by the plaudits of the Demo- crats, or be lulled to sleep by their sirenic songs of adulations. Ir is now ex-President Roose- velt, and it is with much regret that he did not succeed himself as President. Matters not what may be said of him, he made one of the best executives that ever graced the White House. He has done more down right good for the col- ored.man, with the exception of Lincoln, than any any other Presi- dent. He had his convictions; he stuck to them. He believed in giv- ing the colored man a chance, and he tried to dosoto an extent. One of his greatest cause for our: disap- proval was the discharging of the colored troops. We believe that if he had thought fully before acting he would not have issued the order, For all the good tliat he has dore, we are willing to forgive this one great foult. ‘Mfr, Roosevelt will go into history and will gather fame like that of Washington and Lincoln. In one of our daily papers re- cently, it was ascertained the method used by certain patent medicine firms im securing testi- -monials of prominent men, ete. In this article, it was stated that many testimonials were secured from men who have never used the article recommended. This js bad business, and will certainly cause the people to be less confi- dent of this kind of-testimonials. Lat week we received. a letter from Dr. Booker T. Washington concerning 8 circular of the Phili- pine Remedy Oo., advertising a hair restorer and face and hand bieach, en which his nameappears. ‘This concern has a local office in this city, and it naturally concerns us, Following is acopy of the letter written ‘by Dr. Washington: . “February 24th, 1909. Dr W A Hooks, 1811 South Reynolds street, Savannah, Ga, DearSir: My attention has jus! ‘been called toa Circular iesued by yeu ir which my name is ised as a reference. Of course you know that any such use ol my name is altogether uncuthorized and I hope that you will immediately desist from gu b use of it.” ‘Tne Tarpune has no confidence in the many preparations made te straighten the hair or to bleach the face, Nature has adorned us in 2 certain manner, and with this we abould be satisfied. We have los! smany a dollar in the course 0} years inour refusal to insert ir our columns advertisements o! anti-kink and anti-black prepara tions. Other prominent men whos: names are misused should follow the wake of Dr. Washington an¢ disapproye this kind of advertise- ment. ss * alr is pleasing to note that here and there we can hear of some of our young men endeavoring to se- cure themselves property. In this they should be enceuraged. The young men who are property own- ers are the ones now that have the call, The saving of afew dollars each month would enable any one to secure a holding matters not how humble. The slogan should go forth for the owning of = pe of the earth upon which we live. ‘From Charleston it is ce that Collector of Customs Crum, has tendered his resignation, the same to be effective March 4th. It is hoped that it is not true. If it is, we feel that Dr. Crum has act- ed unwisely. He should havenever resigned while under fire. Tf he had done so before bis appoint- ment was made, or the confirm- ation considered, there might have been much excuse for having “backed down.” In the face of these crisis we must put our friends ‘on record as to their attitude to- wards us., Any action with policy in view will not be effective for good. Dr, Crum has only allowed Bourbon democracy to carry the lav. Roy Reginald is a reguler writer for SAVANNAH TRIBUNE; We are not informed as to whether or not this is his real name. In last week’s issue he has a strong article em- phasizing the importance of racial co-operation agreement and avoid- ance of divisions. He makes this emphatic when business enterprises are involved. The Georgia Baptistis giving endorsementto the views of Roy Reginald and earnestly-wishes that his views might be adopted in our churches as well as in business matters.—Georgia Baptist Anents—Things. Each thing ix its place is best; And whatseems but idle show, Strengthens and supports the rest.” So, it may be seen, that “all kinds of weather taken together, make up a year and a sphero,” as millions upon millions of small acquatic animalcule form the great coral reef. “Each thing in its place is best,” and each thing fills a wrothy space. “As step by step, the hills we mount, ‘And, One by one, bégin to count, So, word by word, we learn to spell...

A small thing. This gave riso inhis mind as to why the apple did not fall up. Within the cause of the downward. fall of the little apple, reposed the law of gravity. Movart, the child inthe attic, gave to the world Ma- zart the man of the musical realm. Raphael, as the result of childish conceptions of the grandeur of col- ors, started the world with pallet and brush. Franklin, with a key, and a cord anda kite, extracted the lightening from the clouds. Book- er Washington, with small oppor- tunities and smaller means, has made large opportunities for many and emassed millions. “Lazy sheep, pray tell me why, In the pleasant fields you lie, Eating grass and daises white, ‘From the morning till the night?

Last week St Benedict's congregation was honored with a visit of Mother Catharine Drexel Foundress and Superiorless of the "Sisters of the Blessed Sacrament for Indians and Colored People" A few years ago Mother Catharine, daughter of a famous millionaire of Philadelphia, renounced the world and took the vet in order to spend her life and her immense fortune for the mission amongst the Indians and Negroes. God only knows what good that noble lady has done in a work so dear to her christian heart. Mother Catharine visited St. Benedict's school, the Public school, East Broad St., the Beach Institute and the college at Thunderbolt. She was delighted with the work done in these school for the education of the Colored children. On Friday evening the members of St. Benedict's church had a reception in honor of the distinguished visitor in the school rooms. It was rather a union "en famille" mother Catharene had a kind word for everyone, her kindness and her unaffected simplicity made a deep impression on all those who had the honor of approaching her. On Saturday she left Savannah to continue her tour among the Colored missions in the South. Mother Catharene founded also the famous Institute at Rock Castle, where some of our Savannah girls received such a good and refined education. In Memoriam.

The consciousness of the reality of a power outside ourselves is a fundamental in the religious experience of the race. The understanding that the inexplicable and universal external potency is Delty marks an advanced step in the spiritual intelligence of humanity. The sense of the proximity of divinity is characteristic of the most advanced explanation of the religious experience. The religion offers the most satisfactory practicalities and theology which is possessed of the clearest comprehension of the reality and presence of the God in whom we live, as Paul says, and move and have our being. A mighty reason for asserting the supremacy of that religious system that we call Christian lies in the fact that in it we have the efforescence of the thought that our God is not an absentee but near. The God and Father of us and of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ is not far from any one of us who knows Him and endeavors to keep His commandments, neither do we postulate Him as far from those who, out in the far country of iniquity and felicity and deceitfulness, are feeding their souls on meat for swine. The God of Christ is as near as ever. His Spirit is with us and within us. His presence is a feature and a force, and may be if we will a consciously accepted fact and power in our lives. In the consciousness of the nearness of God there is to be found the power, the peace and the inspiration beyond compare. And in the sense of the all presence of Jehovah there lies the alone hope for the spiritual regeneration and the moral reformation of the race. For the sense of the nearness of God, moulding force in the moral life of man and intensifier of spiritual vigor as it is, is prerequisite that we may have that revival of religion for which we hope and pray. It is impossible to teach a man anything about the supernal God or to make him understand his holiest obligations to God and the children of God until he has a lively consciousness of the reality and nearness of God. The sense of the nearness of God makes for power. It strengthens the arm of man and stoutens the heart of man for Christian service. It amplifies the moral faculties of men. Just in proportion that a man is conscious of the nearness of God is he doughty in the service of God and careful of the moral integrity of his life. The man who has little sense of the proximity of God does little for Him and lives little like Him. The man who habitually practices the presence of healing, the presence of care and the incentive to righteousness, endeavors constantly to be well-pleasing to God and worthy of His approbation. The man who doesn't have thought of the nearness of God never feels the need to live as God would desire him to live. The sense of the nearness of God makes for power not only in the ordering of the internal moral life of man, but it makes for valor in the warfare against sin. No careful student of history can be cheerful as he contemplates the morality of the world to-day from the standpoint of one who would transform morals by the power of the will of men. Not more can we hope to transform the world by the energies of man than we are able to rld ourselves unaded of the grace and empowering of God from sin, but that we understand that the God of the world is in the world, and that the God who has commanded that we shall rebuke sin stands with us and ablides within us then the mass of sin loses its insurmountable aspect and the onshoot of Satan becomes correspondingly less terrific. The sense of the nearness of God makes for peace. It ministers not the peace and comfort of material things, though we should never forget that by seeking the kingdom of God first we shall soonest enjoy that blessed life when all men shall enjoy the material comforts of the world, but it gives to us the spiritual peace of God incorruptible, undefiled and fadeless, which is the gift of God to those who in sincerity and truth try to do His will. It ministers not the peace of satisfaction with things as they are. But it does give us peace ineffable in that it assures us that though we may be unable to rectify the evils of the day and age, though we have neither time nor strength nor opportunity successfully to overthrow many a mighty wrong, God will labor where we may not. He will be here when we are gone, He will succeed where we must cease, He will accomplish in His times what we cannot achieve in ours. 'The sense of the nearness of God makes for inspiration. The nearer we conceive God to be, the nearer we are sure He is, the more are we inspired to do our work in our own time under His direction, to sacrifice, to suffer, to be patient, forbearing, obedient. There is nothing more disheartening than to attempt to carry on the fight against sin unaided by the help of the ever-present God. No one has more inspiring than to undertake the positive and progressive program of righteousness that looks toward the kingdom of God as an ultimate and ideal, possessed of the assurance that the God who was near His people in the past is near to them to-day. The sense of the nearness of God gave Abraham hope and Jacob spiritual vitality. It warmed' the zeal of the prophet and quickened the pulses' of the priests and kings whose names Israel reveres. It augmented the spiritual capacities of the apostles, produced Pelecoste, composed the orations, organized the forces which in the name of Christ swept the Empire of Rome. The sense of the presence of God has an equal inspirational influence to-day. Controlled by it we may dare the impossible, overcome the As in many lines of industry China led the way among the nations in the use of paper currency in business.

Dictionaries seldom pronounce words; it is a general case of dodge, because the lexicographers are not sure of their ground. Nearly every person you meet pronounces oleomargarine, that famous artificial butter, with the "ga" soft, as "ger." The emphasis in general is correctly placed upon the "mar." I said to a butter man who sells about a million pounds a year of genuine stuff: "What do you call this artificial product?" He replied, "Butterline." ~No; I mean its equivalent, oleomargarine? "Oh, don't try to trap me. I call it the same as all dealers do—oleo." "Don't you use the full word?" "Never; leave that to the dictionary." Yet we know that the "ga" in "margaros" is hard—New York Press.

With Him near there is power, peace, inspiration, the incentive to live as ever in His sight. The Shepherd and the Sheep. In the nomadic or pastoral state which still prevails in many parts of the world, almost every man is more or less of a shepherd. So much that relates to comfort and subsistence depend upon the welfare of the flocks that the calling of a herder, or sheepmaster, in such communities is by no means an unimportant one. The shepherd's life is still attended by hardship and danger. Amid storm and cold he has to protect his flock, to defend them from wild beasts, to guard them from pitfalls and precipices, to find fresh pasture for them by day, with good water, and to securely fold them at night, setting a watch over the fold till daybreak. In old times, the staff and sling were the shepherd's defensive weapons and in many places are so still. With these, and his warm sheepskin coat and his scorp or bag for food, he was fully equipped for duty. David's "Shepherd Psalm" is a beautiful picture of the pastoral life, with its freedom from the harassing and corroding cares of the outer world and its perfect dependence upon God. David, who was himself a herdsman, in that song tells us how the Good Shepherd supplies every want of body, soul and spirit; how He gives to His sheep food for sustance and water for refreshment, with perfect peace amid pleasant surroundings; how He cheers them and hels them to overcome temptation and to add a dawn of hope with storage by His presence and His supporting touch; how He bears them up in affliction and spreads a rich feast for them, to all of which He adds the sweet assurance of His continuing love and care—His goodness and mercy—to the end.—Christian Herald. Gone! "As thy servant was busy here and there * * * he was gone!" (1 Kings 20:40). - Gone? Where? Don't ask the awful question. It is agony to me to think about it! The Spirit said, Speak to him! Tell him of a Saviour's love. Tell him his danger. But I was "busy here and there;" I neglected it, and by and by he was gone. I knew I ought to talk to him. I felt that I was the one God meant to put the gospel before him, and somehow I felt I ought to do it quickly—now, now! He was "busy here and there." Now it is too late! He is gone! I shall not see him until I meet him! I at the judgment bar in that awful day! I at the judgment bar in that awful day! I at the judgment bar in that awful day! I do not fear that day of judgment for myself, for I heard and believed God's good news, that Jesus of Nazareth died for me; that He took my place on the cross, where He bore sin for the whole world. I heard that all who believed Hore he bore their sin, and trusted Him. (for He rose from the dead, and is alive now), should be saved, and should not even be judged (John 5:24), for Jesus was judged in their place! I believed this, and I knew I am saved. But he—he is gone! Maybe if I had told him he, too, would have believed, and with what joy we should have met in glory! But he is gone! Gone without Christ, without God, without hope! "It has pleased God through the foolishness of preaching to save them that believe." Oh, if I had only told the gospel to him! If I had only said, "Jesus Christ died for your sin. Will you trust Him?" But I was "busy here and there," and I put off speaking to him, and now he is gone—gone!—W. R. Newell in Missionary Witness. The Life of the Spirit. If the Spirit of God dwells within us, if we are dominated by its power, if we have surrendered ourselves fully to Christ and belong to Him, glorious consequences inevitably follow. We will then be filled with and kept in all times by the Spirit presence—kept with untroubled hearts in a world of trouble. We then become the children of God in the richest sense—sons, and heirs of the kingdom eternal, while we must in harmony with the working of eternal laws, come to be more like Him who "hath loved us and gave His life for us." And we have then, within, the glorious and unquenchable hope of the resurrection. For, "If the Spirit of Him who raised up Jesus from the dead, from the beast shall also your mortal death by His Spirit-that dwelleth in you." This is the glorious consummation. "To be spiritually minded is life." To surrender to Christ brings the life of the higher kingdom into the soul of man. If we choose the things that are spiritual and eternal, we shall grow in harmony with our choices and find ourselves rich in the treasures that will abide. A Resting Place. It is a great thing to come to Christ. It is the turning point of life. And it is a great thing to abide in Him in the storm and conflicts and terrors of the world. It is a great thing to come to Christ; it is a great thing to abide in Him; but from His point of view the object of our coming and of our abiding is that we should go. He wants us as His messengers, as His fellow-messengers; His purpose is that abiding we should bear the burden which is for the healing of the nations, that we should communicate the communicators of the light that shines upon the people that sit in darkness and in the shadow of death. If we do not go we are like seed which has spoiled in the ground. He bade us come. He encouraged us to abide in order that we might go. Can You Say, I Love Him? To confess Christ does not imply the ability to make a good speech; it does not require training in rhetoric and elocution; it simply means the expression of love, which is as appropriate and natural for the young soul as for the flower to bloom or the bird to fly.—F.

REPORT OF TREASURER And as Consequence Very Unsatisfactory Results Are Obtained in the Examination of State Banks. Atlanta, Ga.—The annual report of State Treasurer R. E. Park for 1908 to Governor Smith, by whom it will be transmitted to the legislature, has been made public. This report contains a number of features of Interest concerning the state's financial department, not least among which is the attention he calls to the fact that the time is at hand for legislative finance and appropriation committees to take account of stock and see to it that the state is not led into financial embarrassment through legislative extravagance. The present administration, he says, has not been hampered by any serious financial problems, but he intimates that there are rocks ahead unless the legislature adopts a policy of careful consideration and economical financial management. Under the plan of placing the state's money in depositories which pay 2 per cent interest upon daily balances, the state received from interest last year $13,302.63, an increase of $7,433.90 over the amount received in 1907. The treasurer notes an increase from 140 to 402 state banks between 1900 and 1909, with an increase of more than $9,500,000 in the aggregate capital stock, in addition to which Georgia has 100 national banks, not subject to inspection, with paid-in capital of $9,500,000 and deposits of about $30,000,000. *Attention is called to the fact that the banking laws of Georgia are in a very unsatisfactory, not to say chaotic, condition. Owing to the lack of a sufficient number of assistants, Captain Park said forty-three state banks could not be examined the second time during last year, as the law requires. There were only two bank failures during 1908, while four banks surrendered their charters; and there were thirteen mergers, five into state and eight into national banks and seven liquidations. Discussing the state's financial condition, Treasurer Park calls attention to the fact that the common school appropriation for 1909 is $225,000 greater than that of last year, which amounts now to $2,250,000. He notes the disappearance of the state's income from convict hire and from the liquor tax, and says: "It is to be hoped that the incoming legislature, in its wisdom, may be able to devise the ways and means for meeting the largely increased appropriations which should be met with the utmost promptness. My own opinion is that the teachers of the state should be given larger compensation than they receive, an average, I am told, of only $30 per month, and they should be paid monthly." The need of additional help and more room in the treasury department as well as the necessity for certain repairs and improvements is strongly stressed. The treasurer asks authority to appoint his own treasury guard so that he may get a man not so old that he will have to be help out of this chair once he sits down in it. TAFT'S WINTER HOME. - Augusta Wants Permanent Winter White House. Augusta, Ga.—Secretary Johnson of the Augusta chamber of commerce, following out the suggestion of local newspapers and numerous prominent citizens, has directed a telegram to Congressman Thomas W. Hardwick at Washington, urging him, to introduce an amendment to the Landers bill now pending, whereby a quarter of a million dollars' appropriation to build the president a summer home of the Hudson, will be doubled, and the same amount spent for a winter residence in Augusta. This is the first definite step taken, although the matter has been frequently discussed. When President Taft was here, somebody mentioned the idea to him, and he seemed to take kindly to the proposition. He was so charmed with Augusta's climate, and hospitality that it would seem he will favor the bill, should congress see its way clear to setting aside half a million with which to build season homes for the head of the nation. WANT WAR CANNONS. Many Georgia Towns Apply for the Condemned War Guns. Washington, D. C.—It might almost be supposed that the state of Georgia is about to be besieged, or at least has good cause to fortify the various cities within its borders, judging by the large number of cannon that Representevate Edwards of that state deserves to have the national government present to certain cities. Mr. Edwards has introduced eleven bill, each of which directs the secretary of war to donate two condemned brass or bronzed cannon, with cannon balls, to some city in Georgia. The cities provided for by the bills are 'Savannah, Pembroke, Sylvania, Reidsville, Darien, Lyons, Millen, Springfield, Statesboro and Hinesville. The cannon are to be placed in public squares. HIRE OF CONVICTS. , To Be Distributed to the County Schools. Atlanta, Ga.—The net income arising from the hire of convicts for the last quarter of 1908 will be distributed to the 117 counties of the state which are not using convicts. This was definitely decided when the prison commission informed Governor Smith that $57,000 of the fund would not be needed for the support of the prison establishment during the current year. STATE GLEANINGS. Three veterinarians in different quarters of the state have been called into service by the department of agriculture, in the investigation of suspicious cases developed during the last few weeks. April 1st at sunrise is the time fixed by the prison commission in a circular letter, for the delivery of state's convicts to the counties. The letter has been directed to every county in Georgia that will work convicts on its roads under the new law. It contains a warning or, two about the greater caution that must be used in guarding the felony men, and some suggestions about guns and transportation. According to figures compiled from the reports of the railroads of the state by George F. Montgomery, rate expert of e railroad commission, the gross earnings of the roads for the nscal year ending June 30, 1908, were $38,576,706.65; the operating expenses were $29,969,955.72; the net earnings were $8,571,926.54; deficits $25,205.61. The gross earnings of the roads fell off about $2,200,000, while the net earnings decreased about $155,000. The statement of the nscal year ending June 30, 1907, the year petore the panic, shows, the following: Gross earnings, $40,727,877.45; operating expenses, $32,052,750.87; net earnings, $8,725,997.54; deficits $50,750.79. The railroads showing deficits are the Chattanooga Southern, the Garburt and Donovan Short Line, the Lawrenceville branch, Lexington Terminal, Macon and Birmingham, Tallulah Falls railway and the Union Point and White Plains. Governor-elect Brown gave out the following interview: "In my tour of the state, when I was at Darlen and through that section, I made one observation which appealed" to me strongly because I found one industry which I thought should be taken care of more assiduously than it has been. I refer to the oyster industry. You know that in Maryland and Virginia those states have acquired tracts, plant them and raise them, can them and bring into the treasury of the states a very substantial revenue. The objection to the private ownership of oyster beds along our coast from Savannah to Florida, is that when oysters are planted by individuals others come in during the night and steal the oysters and there is practically no protection to be had. I believe that if the state should acquire much of this property the depredations would cease, it would give employment to many peole, and would add quite a neat sum to the revenues. Maryland and Virginia have their own canning factories and there is no reason why Georgia should not have hers." Dr. John F. Dickey, president of Emory college, reports that $150,000 of the $500,004 endowment fund has been raised, and the prospects were never brighter for raising the additional amount. According to Mrs. E. G. McCabe, president of the Atlanta chapter of the Daughters of the Confederacy, a wrong idea has gone abroad regarding the stand taken by Atlanta towards the location of the WIRz monument, as the result of the publication of the action of councils in passing a resolution inviting the Daughters to place the shaft in Atlanta and offering a location for it. This has given the impression that the Atlanta Daughters were in the race for the monument. Up to date they have made no bid, and as this city is the host of the Daughters for the coming convention Atlanta may not enter a request. If, however, other cities asking the honor should make so warm a fight for it that a compromise would be necessary, Atlanta would be more than glad to get it. The Gainesville Electric Railway company was sold at public auction to R. L. West of Atlanta who bid in the property for $50,000. Mr. West represents certain trustees of the bondholders. The property was bonded for $250,000, and is a splendid enterprise. The railroad commission of Georgia will urge in its 1909 report to the legislature, it is understood, the enactment of a law permitting railroads and other corporations to put a certain amount of water into their stocks. This will be amplification of a suggestion made in the commission's last annual report, in which it said: "We would suggest that the legislature define the basis of capitalization of corporations in which the commission is called upon to approve the issues of stocks and bonds." The police reports of Columbus show an increase of one hundred percent in the number of drunks for February over those of January, and the fines in recorder's court have increased accordingly. Twenty liquor dealers who were fined by Recorder Schwarz of Savannah, a year ago, have not yet paid the fines assessed against them and the recorder has issued a ukase in the shape of commitment papers for the delinquents. The fines, by agreement, were allowed to go over from the time they were assessed until the supreme court should decide one of the cases as a test. The defendant lost out in November, but the fines were not paid up. Pay or go to jail is the defendant's alternative now. *Rufus Gore was arraigned in the Macon city court and convicted for having poured oil on the back of a big bull that ate his food, and later set fire to the animal, injuring him and creating considerable excitement. He was sentenced to twelve months, the limit of the law. Members of the Georgia division of the Farmers' union, have put up $15,000 with which to place a centrally located cotton warehouse in Macon and the business men of the community are now asked to furnish the other $10,000. A site has already been selected and the business plans will be completed at a meeting that is to be held March 18. A large number of the farmers will be here to make the final arrangements, and should the warehouse be built it will add much to the cotton business of the community.

Works as Cradle Rocks An inestimable boon to babies and tired mothers is the cradle fan, invented by a Tennessee man. This not only makes life happier for the inants in hot weather, but relieves ```markdown ``` their parents of the tiresome necessity of waving a fan back and forth by hand for an hour at a time. An upright shaft is attached to the head of the cradle in such a way that when the cradle rocks the shaft rotates. At right angles to the top of the shaft an arm projects, and hanging from the end of the arm is a bar, to which is attached a piece of cloth, which creates a gentle breeze by fluttering to and fro over the sleeping infant's head as the arm moves. The upright shaft has a footpiece at the bottom by which it may be actuated in one direction, while a spring turns it" in the other. Any person who has tried fanning another for any length of time will appreciate how welcome this invention is to mothers who have hitherto been obliged to protect their children from the heat and the annoyance of files by the manual operation of a palm leaf.—Washington Star.

"Do not waste time trying to get even with some one who has wronged you. It is impossible to employ a single hour to worse advantage. Some one has truly said that 'getting even' is an idea of revenge found only in the philosophy of fools. Truer words were never uttered. This idea that because some one else has stooped to a 'low, contemptible act, you must, too, is not worthy of a moment's consideration by high-minded men and Masons. Do not allow what some one else has done to put you out of harmony with your best self. 'Getting even' hurts you a hundred times more than it does any one else.—Masonic Home Journal. If Masonry is to be of any genuine service to us and is to attract our fellow men, we must keep ever before our minds its real object, which is to help us to live better lives—to act on the square in all our doings. Elaborate ritual and good-fellowship will not alone bind such men to you; but combine with them the real object of our craft, so inadequately touched upon here, and you will have brothers for life who are a tower of strength to the lodge and to all other brethren—Grand Master Plunkitt, New Zealand. That to which frail mortality is especially prone is the eager inclination for something "new," all the more if there exists a mandate against it. The little weakness is inherited, of course. To introduce into Masonry anything tending to subvert ancient usage or interfere with established custom, has been regarded from its earliest days as an injury beyond pardon. The newly initiated is thus taught, it is impressed upon him as he advances, and it is enjoined upon him with additional emphasis when he has acquired knowledge and is deemed fit to instruct and rule.-Geo. J. Bennett, Canada. ILLNSS OF THE POPE Due to Saying Mass in a Cold Private Chapel.
