costly experiment are continually
devoted toward increasing the
earning capacity of our smelters,
Columns of figures are scanned
every month to find any improve
ment in the earning capacity of
the railroads. Every expedient is
observed relating to the earning
capacity of the draft horse and
the butter COW. Daily records are
kept of the earnings of the lima
type machine, of every section of
telegraph wire and the mileage of
every locomotive, Why, then, oh,
why is so little attention paid to
the development of the earning
capacity of our boys? Why are
our boys merely sent to school to
get them out of the way? Why
are so few boys trained with any
special relation to definite avoca-
ton? Why is it that not more
than one in hundred learns moro
than one occupation? Why are
we so easily satisfied if the boy as
he increases in years is able to
"get job" with so little thought
of the amount he could earn if he
had been taught a more skilful
"job?"
A Florence paper describes the
boys of that city as set of toughs
whose ideal of pleasure is the
torture of burros and dogs; who
post each other in every sort of
knowledge unfit for the mind of
the young; who excel in making
savages of themselves, and most
disreputable and foul-minded and
foul-mouthed savages, too.
Similar complaints have been
published in the town papers of
Salida, Silver Cliff and La Junta,
all within one year.

A new Filter

|. w. Zimmerman of the West
Si,le grocery has secured the ex-
elusive agency for a new filter that
promises to fill long felt want in
this section of the state at least.
1t is called the Sutton Tripoli filter
and is natural stone filter, made
in Seneca, Mo, and is designed
for family and general use. 1t is
simplicity itself, being made in
live different sizes according to
the filtering capacity desired. The
block of stone is penetrated by a
series of drill holes in one of which
is inserted tabe set with cement
to which is attached white rub
Der tube about three feet in
length. Every drop of water in
the operation of the filter is re-
quired to pass through the solid
tupoli filter stone in order to
reach the rubber tube through
which it is drawn off, perfectly
pure and sparkling All filth
microbe, bacteria and germ mat
ter and sediment of every cbarac-
ter contained in the water will be
found deposited ON the surface Of
the filter stone after using it and
may be quickly removed and
thoroughly cleansed by occasionly
washing the filter stone with
brush and water. Persons inter
ested can call at the West Side
grocery and see filter in operation.

The Atlanta constitution., 1898-10-24

It is evident that the real purpose ol the
presidents trip to the west is political.
The republican campaign managers have
been greatly disturbed by the reports OF
general apathy that have come to tnelf
headquarters from Iowa, Illinois, Indiana
and Ohio and it is the hope of stirring
things up that takes the president TO Omaha
at this time OF course. the Omaha cNpoSl-
ton furnished the necessary excuse; but II
that had not been in operation Hlere would
have been some other c&cuse-they are al
ways easy to get.
Hanna and Bahcock figure It out that t1o
trip Of Ii" president viii livon things IN,
and they may be right. Certainly the
itinerary has been arranged with this view
solely. As muril time as possible is to b"
spent in Chicago and Illinois. and in one

why, IN ordinary times when the party
has some show of success. Chauncey is
the greatest of ali the optimists: even
when he feels the shadow Of an ordinary
defeat. there is no limit to the extent Of
his rosy predictions and when. therefore,
he turns pessimist and calamity howler
the republican cause must be in bad
way.
That is what he has become and with
great emphasis. Chaunccy has been talk
ing to New York republicans and here is
the brilliant picture he draws
If we lose The election this fan, it
means the loss not only Of the state,
but OF congress and of United States

nation of the prosecution of the war

Secretary Kerr's informants are very
badly fooled, tine chances Tor democratic
success could hardly be more roseate.
Take Michigan for instance. Dan Cam
pau. who has for years been at the head
OF the state committee, IS a conservative,
calculating politician who does not so up
I'm balloons nor allow himself to be fooled
by surface indications. The Michigan or
canlzation is thorough, and it is evident
that the anti-republican forces are doing
active work
Instead Of merely holding our own in
Michigan as the committee here has
coun:ed on. Campau talks most positively
of gains in the congressional delegation
and what is more surprising. seems to
think there is a strong possibility of the
election of Whiting. the candidate for gov
arn0r. against Pingrce OF course Pingree
has always been very strong, but the Bur
rows wing OF his party is against him and
he IS being bitterly fought by number of
other clements.
Michigan is one instance of the trend Of
the reports sent to democrats, headquar-
terS. AdVicpS of just as positive character
come from Ohio and Indiana and Illinois
all of them stating thar the campaign is
in excellent shape and predicting victory
not only in the close districts, but in many

is more talk Of the fight in New York than
Of any other specific contest. The repub-
lcanS do not attempt to conceal their anX-
iety about Roosevelts chances though at
first they We're loud in their protestauonS
of certainty that he would wipe up the
earth with the democratic candidate lhey
are alarmed at the stories which the news
columns of the New York papers tell, par
ticularly those papers which are more or
less independent and which were with them
IN the presidential contest of 1896. 1hey re-
call that some of these, particularly The
Herald, proved prophets in the mayoralty
campaign last year and they do not at all
like the tone of that paper now.
The wise men among them are too,
greatly dsquieted by the changes in the
betting odds This really has more signiii-
cance than the most of the republican lead
ers are disposed to give to ii. When Roose-
Neit was nominated there was Il loud hur-
ran in the republican newspapers about the
certainty of his election and for day
or two betting odds at To | on Roosevelt
were posted at those places where repub-
lican money is usually handled. This is
an old game of Platt's. His tneory is that
if the people can be made to believe
man is going to win a great many will go
to him from the very human desire to
get i'll the band wagon, and there is
good deal Of sense in the theory.
1t Was Campaign Money.
This early money was campaign money
which Platt had caused to be put up. ot
course wherever he could get anybody else
to help him out at his game by putting
up outside money he was glad to DO IT,
AS things have settled down the conVic-
ton that Roosevelt will be beaten has tax
en- hold of New York and the effect of that
is shown in the betting. 1t is now even
money. 1t is particularly significant, too
that the money being put on the democrat
ic candidate is to a large extent put theFe
by the gambling element. These are the
people who DO not let sentiment run away
with their Judgment. They are backing
Van Wyck because they believe he Will
win. OF course as long as they couid ee'
odds they were only too glad to take th'ih'
but now that their anxiety to pet mas
forced Van Wyck up TO even money, tfley
arc placing their money on him at those
figures.
This is one of the best indications OF the
way the Roosevelt campaign IS already

No American poet has given clearer
proof of the possession of poetic genius
of rarer order than Father Ryan.
Certainly no poet has achieved a more
enduring fame and secured a warmer
place in the hearts of the people of the
south than the poet priest" He is
distinctively known as the poet of the
Lost Cause"-as the bard whose harp
sings so sweetly and so pathetically
the requiem of brace and a proud
people. over the grave wherein their
hopes and aspirations have been buried
by the mysterious dispensation of an
almighty and all-wise Providence This
fact puts Father Ryan in a unique
place separated from any other Ameri-
can poet Of his time. AS to the high
intrinsic literary value of the major
fly of his poems, of the genuineness of
his poetic faculty, and. the excellence of
his gift of song, therS can be no man
