SAVANNAH a Free>Port.

The city council acted wisely in making
provision or the abolition of quarantine
fees. There is scarcely a question that
tho ordinance viii be passed al the next
meeting of council, and the tax imposed
upon shipping to maintain The quarantine
will be abrogated. The quarantine Will
be continued, Of course in fun effective
ness, but the cost will be placed where
it properly belongs, upon the city, which
is protected, and not upon the shipping.
The public health will be guarded against
disease brought in ships and to that end
it viii be necessary 10 keep a strict guard
against infected vessels, but not against
all vessels. Every vessel from a foreign
port is not menace to the public health,
and restrictions should be placed upon
shipping only where they are actually
needed. The greater the freedom conferred
upon commerce by sea, the greater viii
the port become. 1t is good policy to give
the shipping every concession that is con-
sistent with the interests of the public.
Savannah's future is, TO a great extent,
dependent upon the commerce Of the port.
We want a greater number of vessels 10
come mere, ana get IfelBnlS LOT an QudI-
ters of the globe; the number cannot be
too large.
The Morning News has for years urged
a liberal and yet safe quarantine, and
that no embargo Of harsh quarantine reg
ulations and unnecessary charges be laid
upon the ships. Captains, crews, owners
and agents should be made to feel that
Savannah is glad to have their vessels in
port, and would be pleased for them to
come back again. Ii should be impressed
upon them that Savannah is a modern,
Dusting, hustIing city, appreciative of
their trade, and always ready to treat
them literally and fairly. In short, we
should treat our friends who come TO us
over the storm-swept sea with as much
consideration as we do those who come by
rail. Inducements are offered our lands
men friends to bring their business to
Savannah, and we should adopt a similar
policy towards those who go down to the
sea in ships

UnIucI.y Number in Evidence.

George G. Boniface, Jr., is one of the few
comedians who are not superstitious. SAYS
the New York Telegram. He does not
like the number 10. however. Boniface
lives at Pleasure Bay. and since the troll
ley cars run between that point and As
bury Park he spends great deal of time
on them. A few days ago, while standing
on the platform of the car, he noticed the
number l3 painted on it. Good Lord,
number 49," exclaimed the comedian. apd.
hastily reaching into his vest pocket. he
pulled out a rabbits foot and rubbed il
vigorously on the lapel of his coat. The
conductor smiled and said
You're a tribe superstitious, aren't
you9"
oh not very" replied Boniface.

ued the conductor. carelessely, that

school Histories.

1t is not to the best interests of the
schools of the state that there should be
uniformity of text books for all of the
schools, for the reason. as we have stated,
that uniformity of mental powers, and
qualifications Of teachers, and durations OF
sessions, cannot be secured; and because it
would be necessary to adopt a schedule of
books suited 90 the least intelligent com
munity We. therefore, think it would be
better to place the selection of text books
in the hands of the county school authori-
ties; with this exception, however-that
che histories be passed upon and approved
by state school authorities before be
ing admitted into the public schools.
This exception, It seems to us, is made
necessary by the number of Objectionable
school histories now upon the market, and
many of which are employed in the public
schools of other states. 1t should not be
within the power of any county board to
place in a Georgia public school such
history as that prepared by Prof. John
Bach McMaster This history is now being
discussed in all parts of the country and is
meeting with condemnation in the north
as well as in the south because of its
gross and malignant Misrepresentation of
the south. McMasters history, however, Is
far from being the only Objectionable one
There are others which, while protesting
to teach the unbiased truth really abound
in arguments intended to convict the south
Of rebellion and her great men Of treason
Georgia should not permit the entrance of
such alleged histories" into her school
houses. much less pay out her money to
have their falsehoods lnstilled into the
minds OF the young
IL may he suggested that the county
authorities would see to it that the objec-
tionable histories were rejected. They
would do so no doubt as long as the coun-
ty boards were controlled by Georgians, or
southernors; but 1t might occur in the mu-
tauons of local affairs that those who were
neither Georgians nor southerners would
hold the prepouderating influence in coun-
ty school affairs, ana IL might please them
TO have these histories introduced into the
schools There should be no opening for
any such thing. It is to be hoped the school
book commission will give due cousidera-
lion to this matter of Histories.

A EinInnd Love story.

Mrs. Alec Tweedie has recently brought
out a book entitled Through Finland in
Carts" fuu of racy chat of travel says
the Electrical Engineer. She speaks Of
Finland being like Norway, 'riddled
With telephones and tells the following
ltte story to illustrate the excessive use
of the telephone by Finnish folk:
"Pekka was madly in love with lima,
"a WondrOusly beautiful maiden. He heard
rumOrs that she was trifing with an
other. He could not stand the torture
even for a few hours, and so rang up the
mansion of the family Hekkila.
joy. lie heard the voice of lima in
an wer, and said: Is it you, dear one?
1, Pekka, am here
"A soft sigh replied
Are you glad to hear Pekka? DO you
care for MIN just trifie?'
" Yes sighed the fair maid.
" Darling it is not true that you care
for Armas Merikanto%
NO no. she cried.
" You like me-you love me"
Yes she softly murmured.
"'Wil you be my wife?
I WILL Pekka.'
"Overjoyed, Pekka almost hugged the
wooden box that brought him such glad
tdings.
"'When may come to see you, darling,
my little wife?
Come, Pekka, come for dinner at 8
o'clock A few more sweet nothings, and,
quite enraptured, Pekka returned to his
office routine. At O'Clock. spick and
span, with a golden ring in his pocket,
he presented himself at the house of the
Heikkilas.
In the salon stood the mother. He
went toward her to receive her motherly
congratulations She rushed forward to
meet him, as all good mothers-in-law
should, and, throwing herself into his
arms she cried:
Take me. Pekka, dearest Pekka; am
yours till death
'AIineu
"Yes. L have loved you long, darling
Pekka, and l am ready whenever you can
fix a day for our marriage
"Tableau. Moral: Beware of tele-
phones"
As there are, according to Mrs. Tweedie,
some $1,000 more women than men in
Finland the action of Pekka's intended
mOther-in-law is eXpainable.
