IS -BEING INCREASED Farmer Now Raises 250 Bushels of Potatoes Where He Formerly Could Only Grow 20. New York City—How gratifying it be to the farmers through the entry to know that the United States government is spending in neighborhood of $18,000,000 every ear on experimental work looking hard increasing the yield and ef- ficiency of the farms of the United States. this money is not expended in polish experiments, but all investigations are made under the personal supervision of experienced departmental heads. Secretary Wilson is practical man and requires results from all lines of investigation. Every avenue of trade is covered because the farmer is largely dependent upon him for his success. His prosperity ultimately brings profitable results to all other lines of business. Recently a railroad official said the United States government could be afforded to invest the cost of one battleship in agricultural experiment work than to spend it in increasing navy. A first-class battleship was about $3,000,000. Secretary Wilson decided that a statement might to be issued telling about the great work which his department is doing. Copies of the report can be aid by applying to the department of agriculture of Washington. This report tells of an instance where a farmer was raising only twenty bushels of potatoes to an acre, and who satisfied, appealed to the agricultural department for assistance and advice. Both were given and now this farmer is raising fifty bushels of potatoes to an acre where he formerly could only grow twenty. The department supplied him with seed and information how, to plant the potatoes. This is only given as one of many illustrations to prove the efficient work being done. Public Men Believe Teachings of Jesus Are Dominant in Politics of Chicago, Ill—Men of prominence international politics believe that the teachings of Jesus Christ are more dominant in public affairs today than when they entered active life, according to questions read before the Lymouth League of the Oak Park congregational Church. Two questions were sent to sixty leading men of the nation by Bruce Barton, president of the league, early in December. One related to the dominance of the spirit of Christianity. The other was "is it an advantage or a disadvantage for a public man to be known as a professing Christian?" One of the first to answer was Jas. S. Sherman, vice president of the United States. "To your first inquiry," said the vice president, "I beg to answer that it is my belief that with the progress of education and civilization throughout the world, the spirit of Jesus becomes more dominant not only in business or in politics alone, but in the smaller affairs of every day life. "In answering your second question, I hate to believe, and I do not believe, that it is disadvantageous to any man in any calling to be a professing Christian. I am firm in the conviction that the time will never come in this country when a man in high position will hesitate to reply frankly and freely to such questions as you propound." Among others who answered the questions, expressing belief in the growth of Christianity and its influence in public affairs, was Speaker Joseph G. Cannon. "Northern Lights" Caused by Gas Styled "Neon," Say Scientists. Boston, Mass.—Neon, a newly-discovered gas, is the cause of the aurora borealis, according to a statement made by Dr. W. L. Dudley, head of the department of chemistry at Vanderbilt University, at Nashville, Dr. Dudley showed what he claimed to be the only sample of neon in this country. It requires over 100 tons of air to get a pint of neon. Dr. Dudley has discovered that the friction of neon against mercury in a Crooke's tube produces a yellow light and when held near a wireless coll, hertzian waves illuminate the gas. Dr. Dudley's conclusions are that at the magnetic poles of the earth, neon under high pressure because of the cold, is acted upon by magnetic currents, thus producing the aurora borealis, a phenomenon that has always puzzled scientists. Government Official Points Out a Serious Danger. Washington, D. C.—That half of the meat eaten in the United States can be called uninspected and that a serious danger to the public exists as a result, is one of the conclusions reached by Dr. A. D. Melyn, cafer of the United States bureau of animal industry, in his annual report. Inefficiency of the government inspection, because of its lack of authority to reach business done entirely within a state, is given as one of the causes, and Dr. Melyn points out the need to supplementing the government inspection of meats with state and municipal inspections. CHRIST'S TEACHINGS NEEDED. CAUSE OF AURORA BOREALIS MEAT NOT INSPECTED. The HIGH COST OF LIVING Investigation of Increase to Be Made by the United States Government the United States Government. Washington, D. C. The increased cost of living was the subject of a concurrent resolution offered in the house by Representative Hull of Tennessee. It provides for a joint committee of seven members of the house and five members of the senate to investigate conditions and report upon them, and as to what remedies may be effected through legislation. The resolution sets forth that during the past twelve months there has been a rise in the prices of commodities of from 11 to 30 per cent and during the past thirteen years of more than 55 per cent, which is entirely disproportionate to the increase in wages, making it difficult for millions of people to procure food, clothing and shelter consistent with their needs. The resolution charges the Payne tariff bill with being a large factor in the rise of prices of necessities through permitting trusts to monopolize products and raise prices. Sugar, meats, woolen and cotton goods, wearing apparel in general and, in fact, most of the necessities of life are mentioned as being extortionately increased in price. In consonance with the resolution introduced by Representative Hull, Secretary of Agriculture Wilson has ordered a sweeping inquiry into the cost of living in the United States. "I realize," said Secretary Wilson, "that we have undertaken a big contract, but we can carry it out. We have the men and we have the money, to paraphrase a famous statement, and the work will be done thoroughly." MORSE IN PRISON. Convicted Banker and Millionaire, is Now Behind the Bars. Atlanta, Ga—Faultlessly groomed, robust and smiling, Charles W. Morse, convicted banker, reached Atlanta to begin the service at the Federal penitentiary of his sentence of fifteen years. Walking with a slight limp the financier stepped quickly along between the two deputies of New York district, who conducted the distinguished prisoner to the Atlanta penitentiary. Hereafter he will be known as Convict 2814, which was the number assigned to aim by the warden at the penitentiary. SPINNERS'WOULD CONTROL PRICES. Schedule of Prices, Adopted by the Charlotte Convention. Charlotte, N. G.-Determined, if possible, to bring about improved conditions in the great industry they represent, the spinners of the south, in conference here, launched an enthusiastic movement to scotch the prices of yarns at cost, curtailing immediately in the event that the cost prices are not procurable, pleading the return of better times in the status of the industry. New Railroad Planned Charlotte, N. C.-It is stated on reliable authority that in May work will begin on 2 new railroad from North Wilkesboro, N. C., to Butler, Tenn., a distance of 90 miles. Frank A. Linney Ed Coffey and other men of means in Western North Carolina are behind the project, and have expended already $200,00 in securing rights-of-way, under the name of the Watauga Railroad Company. This link will, pass through Lonoir and will connect the Soutaern Railway with the coal fields of Tennessee and Virginia by the most direct route. D. O. Mills Dead. San Francisco, Cal.-Darius Ogden Mills, philanthropist and financier, father of Mrs. Whitelaw Reid, wife of the ambassador to Great Britain, director in many corporations, died at his winter home near here of heart disease. He was 84 years old. One of Mr. Mills' notably philanthropic enterprises was the establishment of the chain of hotels, the name of which is familiar the country over as the "Mills Hotels." These hotels were intended as places where meals and lodgings could be furnished respectable men at nominal prices. I. L. S. To Welcome Peace Plans. Washington, D. C.—This government will welcome any advances which may be made by Brazil for the purpose of establishing a working agreement between that country and the United States regarding Latin-American affairs. This statement has been made to Central American diplomats by the department of state. 6 Car Tickets for 25 Cents Illegal. Washington, D. G.—The Minneapolis city council ordinance requiring the street railway company of that city to sell six tickets for a quarter was held invalid by the supreme court of the United States. Wholesale Warrants for Liquor Dealers Nashville, Tenn. — One hundred more warrants were taken out by Attorney General McCarn, charging violation of the 4-mile liquor law and tipping without a license. This brings the number of similar warrants taken out within a week to something over two hundred. New Cancer Treatment Manila, P. I—Great hopes are entertained for the success of cancer treatment which was announced before the Manila Medical Society. The treatment consists in making the patient immune from further progress of the disease by use of vaccine prepared from his own cancer. THE TRIBUNE OFFICE REMOVED TO 462 WEST BROAD STREET. SAVANNAH, GA., SATURDAY, JANUARY 8, 1910. TO STOP TOBACCO WAR ALLEGE RESTRAINT OF TRADE The National Government Will Begin Proceedings Against the Burley' Tobacco Company. Washington, D. C. -The government is preparing to go after the night riders in the tobacco district of Kentucky and Tennessee by beginning proceedings against the Burley Tobacco Society. Convinced that the society is a combination and a conspiracy in restraint of trade under the Sherman ant-trust law, the department of justice is investigating its operations on that ground. Agents have recently been sent to the tobacco-growing regions for the purpose of making inquiry concerning the methods of the association, and they have reached the conclusion that the organization is connected with the degrades of the night riders, who recently have created so much disturbance in that section. The Burley Society is a strong organization, composed largely of farmers, and it is believed that when taken, the government's action will create a sensation. The company, the members of the society charge, systematically depressed the market for Kentucky and Tennessee tobacco, and kept prices down to the lowest point. Further justification for the creation of the society is set forth in the statement that the so-called tobacco trust has driven down its price on raw tobacco, while making no reductions in the finished products sold by it and manufactured from the Kentucky and Tennessee leaf. Lexington, Ky.-President Clarence Lebus of the Burley Tobacco Society refused to discuss the report from Washington that the federal government would prosecute the organization of the tobacco growers as a trust. Otter officials of the society declared they had nothing to fear from a non-partisan investigation, if conducted on judicial lines. FARMERS FAIL TO GET PROFITS High Prices of Food Not Caused by Producer. Washington, D. C. "We have already discovered that the farmer is not getting the exorbitant profits out of the beef he raises." said Secretary Wilson of the department of agriculture, in discussing the price of food supplies. "I have no doubt in the world," he continued, "that the same conditions will be found to prevail in most of the other lines of farm products. "The department of agriculture has agents in every state and every county in the country, and they have been ordered to report on the cost of production and the return on sales of all sorts of food products. As fast as we receive these figures we will compare them with the prices the same products bring in the cities where they are consumed. We will then give the facts to the public. "We intend to bring out the truth, irrespective of whom it hurts or whom it benefits. I am convinced that the public is compelled to pay a great deal more for nearly everything it eats than it should, and I believe the figures will bear me out. "There is ample excuse for some of the increase in the cost of living over what it was years ago. The farm area is not keeping pace with the demands for foodstuff. The cities seem to have more attractions for the laboring man than do the rural communities. The horde of immigration, as well as the ever-increasing native population, must be fed, and the farm is expected to furnish the food." NEGROES TO HELP IN CENSUS. Both White and Colored Enumerators In South. Washington, D. C.-Predicting that the coming count will show approximately 10,000,000 negroes in the United States, directing that negroes be selected to count their race in those enumeration districts where blacks muster two-fifths or more of the population, and requiring both white and negro enumerators in many southern districts to preclude negroes from enumerating whites, Census Director Durand issued general instructions to supervisors: "Negroes doubtless can obtain the information required from their own race more accurately than white enumerators," says Mr. Durand. "I do not consider it desirable that in the south negroes enumerate white families. In the south negro enumerators would not be able to obtain as accurate statistics regarding the white population as white enumerators could." TAFT IS ADAMANT. President Interviewed by Railroad Men About Proposed Laws. Washington, D. C.—With the avowed purpose of blocking any legislation in congress on the subject of interstate commerce, six railroad presidents, President Lovett of the Union Pacific and Southern Pacific, President McHean of the New York, New Haven and Hartford, President Finley of the Southern, President Brown of the New York Central and Hudson River, President McCrea of the Pennsylvania and President Baer of the Reading held a conference with President Taft. The president was not moved and still favors legislation objectable to the railroad magnates. 14,974,448 SOLDIERS. That Many [Fighting Men Available in The United States Washington, D. C. — Satisfactory conformity by January 21 with the Dick militia law, so as to enable all the states and territories to share in the amounts appropriated by congress for the maintenance of the organized militia, is predicated by Lieutenant Colonel Weaver, chief of the division of militia affairs, in his annual report to the secretary of war. This law requires that the organization of the militia by that date must be the same as that of the regular army, if it is to patriculate in the federal funds. Only the states of Pennsylvania and Delaware were reported as not conforming, with the exception of the bands, and in those states he believes conditions will conform by January 21. The strength of the organized militie of the several states and territories last spring was fixed at 118,925 officers and enlisted men. An estimate is made that there are in the United States 14,747,448 males available for military duty. It is announced that hereafter two militia inspections will be conducted annually. That in the spring will be made to determine the sufficiency and the condition of armament and equipment of the troops; the other, during the period of encampment, to determine their efficiency for field duty. In commenting on the reported hardships experienced by the militiamen last summer in the maneuvers in Massachusetts, Colonel Weaver says that "a careful examination of the conditions does not reveal that there was anything particularly different, from the hardship resulting from the exigencies of the situation. MONEY IN TREASURY COUNTED. Not a Cont Found -Misleading From the United States Treasury. Washington, D. C.—To count the coins and securities in the United States treasury it has taken a committee of four persons, supervising from thirty to forty counting experts, almost two months. Upon the retirement of Charles H. Treat, as treasurer, it became necessary for a counting of the contents of the vaults to be made, and the incoming treasurer, Lee McClung, gave receipt for all valuable. Mr. McClung will give to Mr. Treat a receipt for $1,259,001, 756, 37 2-3, the exact contents of the treasury. Not a cent was found to be missing from Uncle Sam's pocketbook. It was the quickest count ever made by the treasury, and was absolutely necessary before Mr. Treat could be relieved of the responsibility of the office. Newsy Paragraphs. Stella Josephine Feller of Harris county, Texas, earned $150,000 in a single afternoon recently by marking down two oil wells. She has been so successful in discovering oil that she has almost daily offers of tens of thousands of dollars in fees for special work. The $150,000 fee was paid by ten men, who owned a small tract and had failed to strike oil. They offered Miss Feller the $150,000 if she would discover two productive wells, and she selected two spots after a few hours of surveying. Pipes were sunk, and in each case a gusher was truck. Miss Feller also has been remarkably successful in discovering sulphur beds. She has made a fortune in oil wells of her own and in fees, and now is expending $500,000 on an orphan syllum in Beaumont. It is reported in Charlotte, N. C., that the Dukes have in contemplation the building shortly of some twenty or more big cotton mills along the banks of the Catawba river. Miss Anne Morgan, daughter of J. Pierpont Morgan, and Mrs. O. H. P. Belmont, mistress of millions, appeared as duly authorized labor leaders charged with the responsibility of directing in part at least the strike of forty thousand girl shirtwait makers in New York. A statement was given out to the public saying that these society leaders will provide aid and legal defense for all members of the union who are arrested. A French financier, who is familiar with the/Congo and other business operations of the late King-Leopold of Belgium, estimates, the morarch's private fortune at $50,000,000 in excess of the $3,000,000 bequeathed to the princesses. Lawyers anticipate much litigation over the property, Princess Anna of Lowenstein-Worthen, has patented, under the name of Yarma, an invention to prevent sea sickness by keeping the berths horizontal no matter how the ship may roll. The balance is maintained by gimbels similar to those on marine compasses but the princess also employs magnets and electricity. The inventor believes the principle is adaptable to guns on warships and operating tables in hospital ships. William M. Annis, the publisher who was slain by Captain Peter C. Hains, Jr., at the Bayside Yacht club, in August, 1908, left an estate valued at only $300 according to the report just placed on file in New York City. The chief item in the assets is $150, the proceeds of the catboat in which Annis was standing when shot down by the army officer. The National Power Boat, association has offered a $500 gold trophy to the first motor moat making the hazardous trip through the whirlpool rapids below Niagara Falls, and power boat enthusiasts have added a cash prize of $1,000. The trip has been made but once, and then by a large steamer, the Mald of the Mist. A YEAR OF PROSPERITY PEACE AND PROGRESS Washington, D. C.—The sentiment is almost universal that the year 1910 will be a year of unequaled prosperity for the United States, and in all other ways the outlook is unusually bright. With great crops, factories and mills working on fulltime great humanitarian movements have taken hold and vigor. All along the line there is every reason for a thoroughly hopeful view, and the statesmen, with hardly an exception, are pronounced optimists. Here is what some of the nation's leaders have to say: President William H. Taft: "That 1910 will be a year of progress and prosperity seems certain. All that is needed to make it so is for the American to do his duty manfully." Vice President James Sherman: "We can all greet 1910 with cheerful hope. So far as I can see, there's no cloud on the nation's horizon." Secretary of the interior Bailinger: It is most essential to secure a substantial return to fundamental principles in our republican form of government." Secretary of Agriculture Wilson: "Some times I run out of clipsers with which to finish up the statements of the substantial products of our soil. There is not much chance for the simile in country so rich as this, I don't count a better wish for the whole nation than that the pessimist may find it harder than ever during the coming year to provide a satisfactory excuse for continuing in circulation." Senator Johnson of Alabama: "The outlook is bright for the whole country, and particularly for the south. I look for great industrial development in my own state during 1910." Senator Clay of Georgia: "I trust the whole country may be as happy and prosperous as the people of Georgia." Senator Bourne of Oregon: "Peace, progress and prosperity—it seems to me is a fine watchword with which to start off the new year." Senator Taylor of Tennessee: "The outlook is bright, and I see reason to believe that the end of the year will be even brighter for the American people." Senator Money of Mississippi: "Mississippi is in line with the balance of the country looking to 1910 as a year of prosperity." Representative Tawney of Minnesota, chairman of the appropriations committee; "I think the American people have a bright year ahead of them. Our industries are booming and there is every reason to believe that they will continue to do so during the year 1910. It is gratifying to observe that President Taft's policy of economy is being carried out by the various branches of the government. With prosperity on the one hand and economy on the other hand, the country should make a good showing in 1910." Representative Clark, Missouri, minority leader: "On this gladsome new year season, to borrow the language of General Zachary Taylor in his first and only annual message to congress, we have a right to felicitate ourselves on the fact that we are at peace with all the nations of the earth and the rest of creation. In fact, we have many things for self-congratulation, chief of which is the very bountiful crop of almost every sort with which we were blessed last year. Though the cost of living is extremely high, most of us will be exempt from starvation during the coming year. While the prospects for remedial legislation this session of congress is not especially bright, we may confidently hope that it will not long be postponed. A survey of the world for the last year, particularly our own part of it, will convince any rational man that the world is growing better. For all of which we should be duly thankful." Senator Hughes of Colorado: "While the American people have many problems to solve, I firmly believe in their capacity to solve them. Admiral Robley D. Evans, United States Navy; "For the new year I would commend to the people of the United States due consideration of the fact that the whole world is in an attitude of armed neutrality, with all the most progressive powers increasing their armaments as fast as they can, and suggest the sentiment in connection with the condition of an expanding naval construction program, based on the determined policy of maintaining a thoroughly effective two-ocean navy." WITNESS SHOT FROM AMBUSH. Alabama Man Was Witness in the Night Rider Case. Mobile, Ala—James Middleton, farmer, of Loxley, La, considered an important witness in the famous Comstock night rider case of Baldwin county, Alabama, which is to be tried in the United States district court at Mobile some time this month, was ambushed near his home. He died while being brought to Mobile for surgical attention. At the time of the shooting, Middleton, accompanied by William Wade, was in a buggy when two shots from a rifle were fired in the darkness, one bullet striking Middleton in the abdomen. NO.16. LATE NEWS NOTES. Abraham Lincoln's old law office was burned at Danville, Ill. The building, which he used when riding circuit as an attorney, was used as a museum in late years. Some of the relics were civil war shells which exploded in the fire. Embodied in the forthcoming report of the New York state racing commission will be a statement taken from the books of the various racing associations to the effect that the state has lost more than $200,000 by the operations of the anti-race track gambling laws. Before the passage of these laws the state collected a 5 per cent tax on the receipts of the association. In 1907 the most prosperous year of the turf here, more than $250,000 was paid over to the state under this tax law. The trustees of the Carnegie institute have decided to withdraw the $10,000 annual support of the organization from Luther Burbank, the plant wizard of Santa Rosa. Word to this effect comes from Washington, where the trustees of the Carnegie institute recently convened. The commercialism which, it is alleged, has been a feature of the experiments of Luther Burbank, is given as the cause. The special committee of Copenhagen university, which investigated Dr. Frederick A. Cook's polar-records, is now considering whether or not it will publish a second report, giving further details of its work. If the committee should decide to do so, it will issue the report about the middle of January. A member of the committee said that some of the details of Cook's narrative of his expedition were fabricated and his papers showed that he had used calculations furnished by Captain Loose. The second report, he argued, would present evidence to that effect. A child born recently to the wife of A. A. Dunn of Haton Rouge, La., forty-nine years old, makes his thirtieth child. Of the thirty children there are seven sets of twins. Three wives are mothers of the children. By his first marriage twelve children were born, among whom were three sets of twins. By his second marriage ten children were born, among whom were four pairs of twins. By his third wife eight children were born. All the children are now alive. The oldest is 25 years of age. Possibilities almost unbelievable in wireless telegraph are developing daily in New Orleans. John Munkeford, operator for the United States Wireless company, says no development in wireless now surprises him. From New Orleans to Chicago is a long distance and this has been about the limit that the New Orleans station has been able to go, but Mumford, while sitting in his office heard a call and jumped to the machine. He thought at first it was Mobile calling, but much to his surprise, it was New York communicating with Chicago. This is a record for the land stations, and proves that messages can soon be flashed through the air to New York from New Orleans. Washington. In the south and west, and particularly in cities, there is a shortage of men willing to earn government money as census enumerators. The enumerator receives so much per name, or per day, depending on his territory, and earns on the average $60 for his entire work. In cities of over five thousand inhabitants the enumerator must finish his work in two weeks, but elsewhere one month is allowed. Time for applications for these jobs expires January 25 next. President Taft has almost completed a special message he will send to congress when that body recevens recommending legislation he desires on interstate commerce law and the Sherman anti-trust act. It has frequently been decided in the press that Mr. Taft has any idea of recommending changes in the Sherman anti-trust act. He has nevertheless told some of his callers that he means to stand firm in his determination to urge upon congress the enactment of a national incorporation act. Admiral George Dewey celebrated the seventy-second anniversary of his birth the day after Christmas. Except for a flood of telegrams and personal messages of congratulations, nothing disturbed the serenity of the Dewey household. The admiral has not been in especially good health for some time, and, therefore, all of his engagements were waived. Representative Lloyd of Missouri chairman of the democratic congressional campaign committee, when he returns next week, will call a meeting of the executive committee to discuss plans for the next campaign. The democrats are confident of electing a majority to the next house and say that to make assurance doubly sure they will start in early on a campaign of education. Unless the state department is able to show that it has received assurances from the Mexican government that James A. Cook, the American conductor now in prison there, will be given a speedy trial, it is probable that the whole question of the treatment accorded American citizens in Mexico will be aired on the floor of the house. It is possible that a resolution of inquiry will be introduced. Harvey Wiley, chief chemist of the department of agriculture, is reported to be seriously considering the ad- visibility of resigning his office. He is said to be much plued because President Taft overruled his decision upon the question, "What is Whiskey?" ey nah mee a ti ne ah haentens ett aed stem enyed tee hay Mle ARSE CP ee yo eee Rag ee SE ek oy epee as ACS ee a sgn ot een TP Ne tinct. nth ee EPR a Oe Re I ae — NEXT SATURDAY, JANUARY 15, 19710 Will be.Opening Day for the Sale of Property in the Splendid New.

All of the roads in commune, ¢{department or city are under thelr sSoneaetion. ‘There {s no confiicting authority, no diversity of policy or method in contiguous departments or ponent The results have been s0 striking that the nationalization of highway work has lately been advo- p cated tn Great Britain. This policy is Sin marked contrast to that, prevailing an this country, and especially in the 'elty of New York, where in five bor- oughs there are five distinct highway ‘ Pureaus entirely independent of each Tother, each gne of which has its own : organization, its owa methods of ad- *gninistration and its own standards of; ,iwork, The French system of nation- falization might not be adapted to the conditions existing in this country; Fbut that system has resulted in ; Frange in the best built and perhaps the most thoroughly , maintained “highways in the world, while in this city there is palpable waste of cner- gy, material and money, and the re- sults are by commor consent unsatis- ‘factory. This 13 not intended as a, condemnation of what we do at homé” vand an exaltation of what ts done abroad. We have heard quite enough ‘of that. Street maintenance in Paris is expensive, although it is very thoz- , opsh, while some excellent work Is being done in this city; bat with a better organization, more co-opera- ‘tion and more intelligent Shvestiga~ tion, vast ‘Improvements could be ef- “tected.” ‘ _. Im speaking of highway adininis- itration jn“the French capital, Mr. Lewis says that the conspicuous fe2- ‘ture is “the constant investigation and experiment which is belng car- “ried on by trained experts. Analyti- eal investigation of the composition ‘of pavements, instituted by M. Buffet, {Engineer of Roads and Bridges, in 186, has developed into the present “municipal laboratory, which has con- -stantly extended the field of its tests and studies until to-day tt 1 undoubt- edly the finest in existence. Appara- tus for testing resistance of paving gmaterials to wear by friction was in- stalled in 1868, and in 1873 there ‘was added a machine for testing the resistance to abrasion of stone used Hn macadam roads. A special drilliag fmachite is in use for testing the jthickness and the.degree of compres- ‘sion of asphalt pavements, This ma- jehine makes x round hole only one jand three-eighths Inches in diameter, ywhich {s “simply and effectively re- ‘Sled without mutilation of the pave- ment, Constant experiments are in iprogress to determine. the life of this hmaterial and the forces whieh con~ itribute to its destruction. In order jthgt these problems may be most ef- fectively studied, the laboratory makes use of an artificial ‘rotter,’ by foieas of which the action of these forces and elements can be intensified faad their effects studied. In Paris, as elsewhére, the difficulty of main- taining pavements on streets contain- dng surface raflway tracks has been fapparent, and there has been in use jsince 1905 a device for testing the Mexure of rails undér the traffic of the ears which they are designed to ac- Sommodate and that of vehicles which Yollow them. Appliances for sprink- lng and cleaning the pavements have Fecelved much attention. This work ‘is considered a part of the street tmaintenance, although in the case of pavements other than macadam this ‘expense {s kept separately, as al- ready indicated.”—Good Roads Mag- ezine, Impure Air ard Wrinkles.

But the Wonder fs That Ninétenths + , of Them Still Hold Good. | __ Answering the’query, Why so many divorces? Life offers six answers: ‘First, because of tle decline of an- thority. Everybody in the country wants to bevhis own boss, and Is so, as far as possible. Nobody wants to obey unless obedience matches “in- clination. Second, because there are SO many more ways than there were a generation ago for 2 woman to make a living. Third, because the price of living ts so high. Men aban- don thelr wives in shocking num¥ers because the job of maintenance {s heavy and they’get tired of it. Fourth, because women require much more and give less than they ald a genera- tion ago. They have been carefully endowed by Jaw jn most StateS with rights and privileges propér to Inde- pendence. Fifth,-because distractions have greatly increased in American life in a generation. Sixth, church fpfluences, for the time being, are Weaker than they used to be, and dramatic influences are more per- vasive; church influences favor con- tinuity in marriage; dramatic influ- ences favor variety. There are plenty more Teasons, but six are enough. ‘The wonder fs that, in the face of such convincing reasons as these, ‘about nine marriages in every ten still hold good. All things considered, marriage seems incorrigibly popular even in this restless and progressive country. The united state being dif- ficult and expensive to achieve, ft is bad business for those who have at- tained to it to relapse back into the condition of the untied. ‘The Shelley Lecend. Most Englishmen, then frightened by the Terror, thought that Atheism, Republicanism and What we now call Free Love were all symptoms of a new kind of wickedness which threat- ened to destroy society. They were only too glad to make an example of Shelley as a monster in whom all these symptoms were united; while fe himself, condemned as consistent in vice, wes the more firmly convinced of his consistency in virtue. After his death, when the fears caused by the French Revolution died away and his music began to enchant the world, the old,legend of 2 Shelley with horns and-a tail gave way to a new one of a Shelley with wings and a halo, This has been accepted even by kis de- tractors, and Matthew Arnold made skilful use of it when he called him a beautiful and ineffectual angel, beating in the vold his luminous wings in vain... . Iam not pre- pared to emasculate him thus. I treat him as a human being, and try to prove that he was one, interesting because of his very imperfections, be- cause of the ceaseless struggle of his not omnipotent will . . . I have criticised him freely becapse I believe that all men, even the greatest, are imperfect in all things, and that un- Jess we understand the nature of thelr imperfection we cannot understand: the nature‘of their greatness,—Mr. Brock's “Shelley.” ~ Rabbits in District of Columbia. Anacostia and the southeastern suburbs of the District are overrun by rabbits, and unless the Police De- partmerit overlooks some of the po- lice regulations and gives the rest- dents permission to fire a few shots into the Swarms of animals it fs feared the vegetation will be de- stroyed *. Untif November 1 the police game regulations probibited tlie shooting of rabbits and exposing"them fer sale or having them In pessessiaff, thus protecting thé anfmals which have saused so much havoc. Another po- lice regulation offers them additional protection. 7 ‘The regulations stipulate that no gun pr pistol can be fired in any sec- tion of the District within 500 yards of the public road, school, church or residence. In Certain sections of Con- gress Heights only can a location be {ound-that is 600 yards from a resl- dence. As therabbits do not frequent this section, but confine their habita- tion tp the more densely popuiated quarters, the police cannot give a per- mit to the residents to fire it the al- leged pests.—Washington Post. Subordinate Themselves to Fashion. Charles Bruce-Winston, an English actor who has left the stage to take charge of o dressmeking firm, says that wotren make the great mistake of subordinating themselves to fash- fon instead of “binding fashion to their chariot wheels.” Actresses, he thinks, are the best dressed women, because, while they sometimes over- dress, they at least study what sults thom and pay attention to “those tiny and appzrently Insignificant points which make the difference between a charmingly and a badly dressed woman,” - The stage, he thinks, has a great effect on dress, but the good {fs often nullified because the woman-who tries to copy the dress she has seen’on the stage hes failed to mark the details, noting only the general effect—so the dress is a failure—New York ‘Tribuné.

If atiteted man's firwene Thompson's Lye Wales The Future of the Order Discussed by Grand Chancellor Creswill in An Interview. Grand Chancellor Charles D. Creswill, Secretary and Treasurer of Endowment Fred M. Cohen and Grand Attorney F. B. Petty spent a day in August last week on Pythian business. There has been so much uncertainty concerning the future of the colored Knights of Pythias in Georgia that we thought it opportune to ask General "Creswill" some questions. In an interview granted our representative the following questions were asked and answers obtained: "Well, what are the Knights on Pythias going to change name to on January 1st? I see that the Atlanta Independent claims you have signed an agreement to deliver up everything on or before January 1st that belongs to the Knights of Pythias of N. A. S. A. E., A. A. and A.?" "All that you read in The Independent regarding my signing or agreeing to change the name of the order of the K. of P's, etc., is absolutely false, and the writer of the articles that appear in the Atlanta Independent knows that he is misrepresenting when he writes them?" "What will be the name of the order on or after January 1st? The same as it is at present?" "Did not Senate Bill No. 64 put the K. of P's, etc., out of business?" "No more than it has any other organization of like character." "What is the standing of the order in the state today regarding pending case in the courts?" "The case was argued before the supreme court of Georgia, June 12th. Up to date no decision has been redered. When the same is handed down, if in our favor, it will in its self annul Senate Bill No. 64. If it be against us, we will make a federal question out of the same, and the order of the United States supreme court will protect the order until it has decided the case, as we exist by virtue of a charter granted us by a regular act of congress, October 10, 1889, and was incorporated December 14th, 1903, and the state has no right to say we cannot do business in the same, as we are a foreign corporation. Senate Bill 64 is in violation of the federal laws known as a 'General Incorporated Act of May 5th, 1870.' The rituals, jewels, uniforms, badges, etc., that we are using are in the commercial market for sale and anyone can purchase the same. It is simply knowing where to purchase them if you so desire. You are not compelled to join the order or be a member of the same to purchase anything that the Knights are using from a ritual down." None of the rituals, jewels, pins and badges are patented or copyrighted, consequently an yone who has the price can purchase the paraphernalia if they so desire." "Will not Judge~Ross attempt to have Senate Bill enforced on and after January 1st?" "Judge Ross and Mr. Douglass are men of quality. In Governor Brown's office on August 17th, when we were all present (one side requesting the governor not to sign the bill, the other requesting the governor to sign the bill), in Judge Ross' plea to Governor Brown to sign the bill he said: 'If you will sign the bill, these people are no fools, let them take the matter into the courts of the land and thrash it out.' We expect to do this when the supreme court hands down its decision or when any one attempts to stop us from doing business. The object of the K. of P's is to promote and dispense friendship, charity and benevolence among the members and I know of no law or principle of justice that will grant any one individual or corporation a right to monopolize these Christian virtues." "You spoke some time ago of the federal question. Is that all the federal question that you have?" "No, we have several. A portion of the fourteenth amendment to the constitution of the United States reads as follows: 'Nor will any state deprive any person of life, liberty or property without due process of law, nor deny any person within its jurisdiction equal protection of the law.' This liberty means not only liberty of persons, but liberty of contract and the acquiring of property and of association in any way for any advantage, pecuniary or otherwise.' "Why does The Independent continue to make these charges you say are false." "Simply to cause strife among the members of the order, the two races or break down one order that another may profit by the same." "You really do not think any one will attempt to enforce Senate Bill 64 on the K. of P's?" "No. The act became a law as soon as the governor signed the same, and no one will be hurt after January 1st." "Well, is not the reason why no one has been arrested because you signed contract to change the name before January 1st? Did you not do so?" "No. That's a false statement, as I have said before. What right has Judge Ross, Mr. Douglass and I to enter into a contract to break the laws of the state. Judge Ross believes that he is right in his contentions that we are infringing on the rights of the K. of P's of the World, and I do not believe that we are and we both are in the courts of the land to let them settle our difference—to say who is right and who is wrong. Before the superior court of Fulton county and also supreme court of the state, Judge Ross admitted that we were relieving the counties and cities in which we live of caring for a great deal of sick among our race, burying paupers, etc., and he wished for us, God's speed. All he prayed for was for us to change our name to the Knights of anything, he did not care what, just so we dropped the name "Pythias." We could be named Knights of Washington or Douglass, he did not care just so we dropped the name "Pythias." "What caused all this stir in the state?" "The application for charter in this state was made at the Albany session, 1904, when B. J. Davis was admitted to the Grand Lodge. His first act was to have the Grand Lodge make application for a charter. C. N. Sellers was at that time Grand Attorney. The application was made the last of July about the 26th, in Bibb superior court. The application did not in words suit B. J. Davis and on August 27th in an issue of his paper, he criticized the same, saying that the charter gave the Grand Chancellor more power than Caesar had over Rome. This criticism caused two names that were on the charter to be withdrawn and that caused the application to be withdrawn from the courts. No more was said about the charter until 1906 when H. L. Johnson was elected Grand Attorney. The application for charter was brought up again and the Grand Attorney was ordered to make application for a charter. The same was made in Bibb superior court by H. L. Johnson, but after he failed to secure a charter for the Elks in the same court, he withdrew the same and took it to Fulton county where the injunction was filed, which is now in the hands of the judges of the supreme court of the state. The case is pending and until the court has rendered a decision one way or the other nothing will be done."—Georgia Baptist. EMANCIPATION DAY. EMANCIPATION DAY. Last Saturday was Emancipation Day, and it was heartily observed by our people in this city. Early in the morning representatives from a number of societies and the uniformed department of the K. of D. assembled for the parade. After the formation several streets were passed through, even some parts of the city not usually visited by such processions. The members of the Emancipation Association brought up the rear in carriages. The program as published in The Tribune was carried out fully. The church was filled with a patriotic people to show approval of the day. The main features of the exercises were the excellent paper read by Mrs. R. Ethel Wright on the "Progress of the Negro in America." Her rendition was perfect, and the paper was teemed with salient points of race progress, and she was cheered heartily, as she waded through her excellent paper. We tried, but were unable to get this paper for publication. The other was the main address by Dr. W. L. Jones, the able pastor of the largest Baptist Church in this country. Dr. Jones had his subject divided in three divisions, showing the past, present and future of the Negro. He pictured him in his African home, in his contentment, etc. He showed how for greed he was captured against his will and brought to this country, where he was made to fell the forests, till the soil and aided greatly in making America the prosperous country that it is today. Dr. Jones further said: "The Negro was brought from home without his consent to this country, and has been made the burden bearer of all men with no credit. "He now stands in America as an object of ridicule, injustice and mob violence and no retreat save the throne of God. He is cursed and dainned; ostracised and spoken evil of because of his color, and some other things, that are connected with it, over which he had no control. "The Negro of America is not disliked because of his color only, because he is black; for there are other races as dark as the African or American Negro; but he is disliked in America because he has been a slave, and was helpless, bought and sold by the masters, and because of the fact that he is from Africa; with no intelligent kingdom at the back of him; brought to this country in ignorance with no power to resist—maltreatment, has developed in the mind of this country a spirit of dislike towards the Negro. "Notwithstanding he has served as the bedrock of their wealth and the financial stream of education of their children. "It seems that this country can see nothing good in the Negro, neither past, present nor future. "Unfortunately they criticise his physical constructure and seem to strive to make it appear that there is nothing promising in his mental cast or endowment; while at the same time it has been said by a white historian, in speaking of the Negro of Africa that his wisdom tooth is better developed than that of the white race. "It is a fact that there are certain physical trait indications and features found in the Negro that are hard to be understood or interpreted, which means, in my judgment, a great future power that is yet to be developed; and as time small unfold itself to us and to the world the Negro's power will be seen, reco-nized and acknowledged. "It has also been said by the historian that the Negro's brain is mellow and undeveloped. All of this, in my judgment, go to show that he is a race for the future. "He is also said to have an unusual large liver, which may go to show his physical capacity. It has also been said by the historian that he is fond of music. This needs no far-fetched explanation. We only need to ask the man on the farm, the boss man on the railroad, the guard on the chalangang, the preacher and members in the church—all will testify to the fact that he is musical. This, in my judgment, greatly speaks for his present and future happiness; for he can bear more sorrow of heart than any other man without committing suicide. Now, this is the Negro from Africa. "It has been said by the historian that he was brought from Africa and from near the coast of Guinea of the petty kingdom of Ashantee and Doharney." After reciting the valor of the Negro as a soldier, as a citizen, etc., Dr. Jones further said: "Now, my friends, we have been speakin gabout what the Negro was. We shall now give a few brief hints of what he is today. "He is said to be an American citizen and freed by the roaring of cannons, and popping of muskets of the Union Army, and the strokes of Abraham Lincoln's pen. Whether or not all of this is true is for your accession and consideration. "There is one thing we know, and that is, it is better today than it was fifty years ago. "It is a fact that the Negro is an American citizen, but not with all the privileges belonging to a citizen. "Let us turn our attention to what he is in the affairs of this country: "It is a fact that the Negro is a prime factor in the working force of all this southland and there is not any great commercial operation or mechanical effort, or display, memorial days, or pleasure seeking crew or war exhibition of tragedy, but what the Negro must be in it. When the American flag was planted on the block house in Santiago, Cuba, the Negro was there. When the American flag was set up on the peaks of the North Pole, the Negro was there. When President McKinley, the executive head of this great country, was assassinated and when help was needed, the Negro, Parker, was there; and when the cross was carried upon Calvary on the shoulders of Jesus Christ, the Negro was there—Jesus on one end and the Negro on the other. "So we find the Negro in all the affairs and great efforts and achievements made by this country and the world. "He is a citizen, with limited privileges, a property holder, doctor, lawyer, school teacher and preacher; machinist, electrician, author of books and inventor of new discoveries. Musical by birth and blood and made so by practice. "The Negro is woven and interwoven into all the affairs of this country, not only commercial and mechanical, but woven into the very blood and that the finest of America. He is a keeper of the finest stock. She is a cook for the finest family. She is a nurse and maid for the royal children. The Negro is in the lowest bed of America and in some of the finest beds of the palace. "Indeed the' Negro is everywhere and in everything. He is in all nations and all nations are in him. "H is a problem of discussion throughout America and around the world. "All nations-are reading of and seeking and asking about the Negro. "Great God! what will he be? It theory of a certain kind can be relied upon "an acorn in the course of time will be an oak." That being true, the Negro is in the acorn on this existence. But, ere long, he will be a gigantic oak and that of a bashan kind in the affairs of this country. "Now we have spoken of what the Negro was and what he is today. We wish to speak to you about what the Negro hopes to be. It is true that if one wishes to erect a great edifice it is highly necessary to go down and lay a great foundation. In my judgment, the Negro now is removing the rubbish and fragments that have been produced by slavery and getting ready to lay the foundation upon which to build the future hope of the race—morally, religiously, educationally, politically and commercially—and this cannot be done in a day. "It is an easy matter to fly flags and beat drums and to rush in, with overcharged ambition and unregulated, judgment, but it takes a great deal to establish a nation with the patriotism becoming a nation. "There are certain religious and groundworks of respectability and pride for blood and nationality that must characterize all nations and races, or else their existence is a failure. We must be able by pride and blood to cherish the memory of our great men, by example and precept. "Nations are not always to be judged by their size any more than individuals, for a nation to be great needs not necessarily be large, for size is often confounded with greatness. A nation may be very large in point of territory, and population, and yet be devoid of true greatness. The people of Israel were a small people, yet what a great life they developed and how powerful the influence they have exercised on the world of mankind. "Just think, coming out of Egypt's bondage into a cannon's freedom and thereby being the only people that had a knowledge of the true God that the mighty God could use at that time, to give divine knowledge to the world. Therefore, there is not a line in the Bible as we have it today, but what the writing came through that blood. "Therefore, we can see the greatness of a people or nation coming out of bondage; and the Negro of America is a splendid specimen. "Greece was not very large, the entire population of Attica was less than that of Illinois. Athens was less populous than New York and yet how great it was in art, in literature, in philosophy and in patriotism. "Japan is of a very limited size in area, streaming along in slands in the sea, but think for a moment what a great coming power Japan is in these modern times. "The Negroes of America are supposed to figure up in the possibility of eleven millions. His weakness is not found in his numerical strength, but otherwise. He has not yet learned to stick together and stand by his brother in black; not until then can he be truly considered as great. "He must drop his treacherousness, one toward another, and see the possibility of greatness in his brother, and learn that his word is self—in person. In the absence of his physical form. "Catch up the broken links of the fathers in the divine service of God." "Leave off formality and hypocrisy. Get back in the good old way of earnestness and sincerity and serve God in the beauty of holiness and when this is done God will carry out heaven's design." "For I am looking for the time to come when the world shall get the best gospel from the lips of the Negro of America that ever fell from human lips since the days of Jesus of Nazareth and the Apostles." "So, my dear people, a great part of your emancipation rests on your own shoulders. My word to you, if you expect to live, thrive and be a people in this country, stand by your God that has given birth to your American emancipation." "A great lever in your uplift is found in the women of the race. They need to be earnest, race-loving and true or else the race will suffer great loss, calamity, shame and destruction as did come upon the people of the past. During the early stage of Rome war broke out between Rome and a people known as the Sabina. They came with their king and seized Rome, the great citadel on the Capilline Hill in Rome; was defended by Spurious Tarpus. While the siege was progressing his daughter, Tarpir, saw and admired the bracelets worn by the Sabian soldiers, and, anxious to possess such ornament, she promised to open the gates of the citadel, if the soldiers would give her what they wore on their left arms. So she opened the gates and turned them in on the city. When they got in they threw their shields to her paly. "So our women today can keep the gates closed against the enemy if they will; but very often they see something in or on the enemy that they want and for that ornament they will turn the enemy in to play destruction to the whole race. "If there is a race upon the face of the globe that needs to be careful along all lines, and with all people, it is the Negro. Even within his own ranks he is often treacherous and untrue, being deceived by the enemy of the race. "At one time when war was in progress between the Greeks and the people of Troy, and when the Greeks had attempted and failed repeatedly to capture the people of Troy, they finally constructed a great wooden horse and landed it from their ships, in front of the gate of Troy; then fled in haste as for fear, back at sea, leaving the wooden horse. "The people of Troy opened the gate and carried that great wooden horse into the city, supposing they had captured great booth, locked the gates and retired in peace. "But, behold! that wooden horse was full of Greek soldiers and during the night they came out, opened the gates and turned in the Greek army and destruction of the city followed. "So my friends, be not deceived, but be wise, and do not let the enemy bed themselves in some of the Negroes as (the wooden horse) and destroy the whole race. "God expects great things of the Negro. 'Therefore He has done and is still doing and will do great things for the Negro.'" One Kind of Carelessness. John D. Rockefeller, Jr., in one of the last addresses that he made to his Sunday school class before abandoning it, said of carelessness in business: "Too many business men are careful on one side, their own side only. Thus a coal dealer whom I used to know shouted one afternoon to an employees who was driving out of the yard: "Hold on there, Jim! That coal can't have been weighed. It looks a trifle large for a ton to me." "Jim shouted back: "This ain't a ton, boss. It's two tons." "Oh, all right,' said the dealer, in a mollified tone. Beg your pardon. Go ahead."—Washington Star. The great event of today, soon becomes merely an incident.
