An increasing Question.

In the course of a speech at a temperance
meeting the other day ex-senator Ingalls,
said: 1.-THE government reports show that
there are 5000, 09O of people in this country
who never lose the sensation of hunger
Ninety years ago. when George Washing
ton, with his SS00,0OO, was the wealthiest
man in this country, there was not tramp
or pauper here. Man has right to inquire
whether one man has a legal right to $780,
O0O, 600 when so many men are hungry. l
doubt if any man ever honestly earned
81 10000 during his lifetime. The only
reason don't own 81, 100000 is because l

to gro up with the country, and am now

1t is an easy matter to state that wealth
is uneQualIy divided and that there is dis
content all over the world on account OF
such condition of affairs, but how is the
condition to be changed SO that the rich
shall have less and the poor more! Mr.. In
gals cannot answer that question. No one
has ever yet succeeded in answering it.
But, after ALL is not a great deal of the
extreme poverty that exists in the world
due 20 idleuess and thriftlessnesS! The
poverty of many is, of course, due to cir
cumstances over which they have
no CONTROL but there are very
few sober and industrious men and women
in this country who cannot earn comfort
able living. A very large majority OF those
who are constantly hungry are SO because
they are either addicted to drink or are 80
constituted that they cannot work steadily.
If they were raised TO positions of compare.

be long before they would be dependents

The Question of adjournment.

There Is a resolution pending in the legis
lature providing for final adjourn
ment of that body on Sept /. Maj
RyaIs, one Of the representative
from this county, when asked The
other dav when ne thought the legisla-
| ture would adjourn, answered: Any time
between now and Christmas" He made
some further remarks IN a jocuiar way,
which left the impression that a great
majority Of the members were SO interested
in drawing 81 day that they would be
in no great hurry to get away from Atlanta
While there is no disposition to find fault
with the members of the legislature, would
it not be well for them TO remember thai
every day the legislature is in session De-
yond the time that is necessary to dispose
of bills which relate TO important public in
terests adds to the burdens of the people.
The amount which the legislature costs tho
people each day is large, and no member is
justified in insisting upon longer session
than is absolutely necessary.
One of the ways in which the session is
prolonged is the failure of men6 ers to at
tend to their Legislative duties. Many OF
them return to their homes on Saturday,
and do not get back to Atlanta in time
to take part in Mondays proceedings. Asa
consequence there are two DAYS In each week
in which either the House or the Senate
is often without quorum, and no public
business can be done.
There are members who do a great deal
Of talking about the necessity for economy,
and mer ltorious bills are sometimes de-
feated because they call for a small appro-
priation. If economy were talked about
less and practiced more there would be
good deal more money for worthy objects.
If members were to give their whole time
TO their legislative work and indulge less in
speech-making there would be brought
about a condition of affairs that would be
highly gratifying to the taxpayers.
Members no doubt feel aggrieved when
ever their absence from their posts of duty
is pointed out as one of the reasons why
the work of legislation proceeds so slowly,
but they cannot help knowing that if
they were as earnest and conscientious in
attending to their public duties as they are
in looking out for their private affairs the
session would be shortened many days.
1t is perhaps unjust to say that members
prolong the session for the 81 per day each
which they receive, but if they received no
pay whatever, would not the session be
much shorter than it iS'
But there will be no reform in this matter
until the system of paying salaries is adopted.
or until the number of days is limited for
which members shall receive compensa-
ton. If members were required to serve
without pay, except for a certain number of
days, the sessions would be much shorter
than they now are In inaugurating re-
forms the legislature should not hesitate to
reform its own practices.

Inattention to the laws Of health is in
creasing to so great an extent that physi-
clans say the rapidly accommodating phys
ical disorders are seriously affecting the
average mental condition TO an alarming
degree. Sound minds. they say. with some
show of reason. can only exist in sound
bodies. Moreover the claim that the moral
status is largely influenced by the mental
state which is based upon the physical con-
dition is not without a strong element OF
reason. Health cannot be too carefully
guarded. Especially is this essential in
childhood and youth to lay a substantial
foundation to support the advance of years

Getting married in haste often leads to
leisurely repentance for more causes than
one. But the plea for divorce filed by q
Michigan woman at Detroit indicates that
her repentance israther impetuous. Several
years ago when she applied for Chicago
divorce il appears that she did not take the
preceution to make sure that the proceeI-
ings were closed that were to release her
from matrimonial bondage. So she al
lowed her eagorness to commit the second
act of matrimony to get the better of her
discretion. Now that she doesn't positively
know what her own name is she is quite
anxious to have the law interpose aud fix
the present status of her civil condition.
But she doesn't know whether to apply
under the name of her former husband or
her present spouse. That's the guam dairy
that puzzles the Detroit lawyers. 1t is one
Of the penalties Of accommodating husbands
too rapidly.
