Foot Ball.

Foot ball is the rage now, for three rea-
sons. 1t is about the only out-of-door
sport that can be played in any kind of
weather, it requires strength and skill,
and it is fashionable. For this latter rea-
son the city that has not among its honored
inhabitants any number from twenty-five

dred of people who see foot ball game do

period, who evolve new tactics, rules and
technical terms every season, so that the

way back-doeS not detract from its
drawing power. Everybody goes to see
the game, and every body shouts with en-
thusiasm, though they may not know a
rush line from a touchdown. 1t is the
proper thing to do, hence it is done.
The dangers of the game have been
pretty well illustrated in the press dis
patches during the past few weeks Last
week at Adrian, Mich, a young man was
fatally injured during game. The week
before, in New York, young man, ANA

who took the trouble to look up data,
found that there had been up to a week
ago more fatalities and more or less Sc
riOus injuries on the foot ball field this
season than there had been in the prize
ring for two years. That, however, does
not argue that foot ball is more brutal or
dangerous than prize fighting. There have
been more foot ball games in three months
than there have been prize fights in two
years, and more men were engaged in the
games than have fought in the prize ring
in ten years. The game is dangerous. GER

Why Not a Commission

VIII the legislature enact law provi
ding for state banks of issue, The prob
ability is that it will not. The session is
rapidly drawing to a close, and no state
bank bill has passed either house. SIEVE
raj banking bills are pending, and have
received some attention. A banking bill
was introduced into the House a day or
two ago that is claimed by its author TO
be superior to any one Of the others.
From the statement of its leading fea-
lures that has appeared in the news
papers, it has considerable merit. One Of
the chief aims of its author is to guard
against wildcat banking. He has, there
fore, cndeavored to provide such security
for bank note circulation that the notes
would be worth their face value, even if
the banks should fail He has not per
fected his bill, however and may not be
able to do so in time to have il thoroughly
considered before adjournment.
1t is a matter of the greatest Importance
to the people of the state that if a bank
ing law is adopted it shall be law that
Will permit the existence of only such
banks as would command the fullest con
fdence. Weak banks of issue and banks
resting upon Unsound banking principles
would be productive of an immense
amount of harm. If the law failed to
guard the public interests fully it is GER
tain there would be banks established
with the view of robbing the people.
In view of the Importance of this sub
iect would it not be advisable to appoint a
commission of experienced bankers and
able lawyers to frame state banking
law and report the same to the next leg
islature There is no occasion for enact
ing banking law at this session. 1t is by
no means certain that congress will re-
peal the 10 per cent. tax on state bank
issues next year, if at all. The chairman
of the committee on banking and cur
rency is opposed to the repeal of the tax.
He has very little faith in state banks
of issue, and will use the great influence
his position gives him against any legisla
ton looking to the establishment of such
banks.
There is plenty of time therefore in
which to frame law providing for state
banking system in this state. Hasty
action now would delay the framing of
good lava law that would be bless
ing to the people.
There may be members of the legisla-
ture who are fully qualified to frame a
wise law providing for state banks of
issue If there are, there could be no
possible objection to making them mem
bers of the commission. They have hardly
time, however, during the session of the
legislature to give the subject such atten-
ton as its Importance entities it to. A
law that would have to be amended every
time the legislature met, is not such
banking law as Georgia should have. She
should have, at the outset, the best law
it is possible TO frame.

ThanksRiYinR DaY.


The south is becoming more Puritanical
every year that is, in so far as observing
I Thanksgiving day is concerned. Thirty
years ago the custom Of celebrating the
day did not obtain to any great extent in
Dixie; we observed Christmas, New
Years and sold Christmas" january
g. as the midwInter holidays, and let
Thanksgiving take care of itself. OBJ
serving Thanksgiving is a New England
custom, and very few things pertaining TO
New England were popular in the south
in those days. New England rum, for the
holiday eggnog, was, of course an excep-
tion.
But time has wiped out sectional preiu-
dices-a cause for profound gratitude
and we now accept whatever is good of
the ideas and customs of New England
Thanksgiving among other things, with
grace and appreciation
In this city the day will be observed in
pretty much the same manner as in every
other large city in the country. Foot
ball is pre-eminently the Thanksgiving
fad, hence there will be foot ball game
here this afternoon. Business will
be suspended at least during
the afternoon, and everybody will
watch the contest on the 'gridiron, g"
after which the turkey and trimmings
will be discussed at dinner. The old
Puritans who instituted the holiday
would have been shocked at a Thanks
giving days programme in which athlet-
les and feasting were the chief features.
They made of it very solemn affair, con
sisting chiefly of psalm singing and other
religious exercises. We make of it day
of happiness and sport; at the same time
not forgetting TO return sincere ac-
acknowledgements to the Great Giver of
all good aud perfect gifts for his benefac-
tions. And on this day Savannah has
much to return thanks for. We have
passed through a business crisis and
emerged mistaken; we have been threat
ened with pestilence and have escaped
with good health we have been attacked
by hurricanes and sustained no great
loss; we have promising prospects of deep
water, and of our new public building,
and the city and the people are prosper
ing.
AS Georgians we have to be thankful
for the generally improved condition of
the people at large, for the fact that we
have an honest and competent state gov
eminent and that the political heresy
that threatened us is dying out The
state is one of the foremost in the great
sisterhood of states, and her enterprises
and resources are being explained in OBJ
ject lessons in great exposition at Au-
gusta. AS Americans we have to be
thankful that the country is again in con-
troll of the people, after a great peaceful
struggle of quarter of a century; that
during the season just past we have
witnessed in the worlds fair the con-
summation of an enterprise that will
prove a potent factor in the enlighten-
ment and elevation of mankind and in
bringing the nations of the earth in closer
fellowship. Indeed, it would be a pessi-
mist who could not at a casual glance
over the record of local, state or national
events for the past year, perceive enough
to fill his heart with gratitude. And
then there are the greatest of all, the in
dividual blessings, to be taken into con
sideration.

There has been some attempt to induce

Grant, but it is not likely it will do So
Although IN the employment of this gov

ana 1t appears that he was meddling
without warrant and uno6icially in the
political affairs of Brazil Even if this
country desired the mans release
1t could not take steps to secure it peace

gerent. The only other course open would
be to declare Mello pirate and set out
