and especially in all Georgia cities and
towns. Atlanta is experiencing ver-
liable boom in the building industry,
with an increased demand for materials

improved cotton and wooden mills, of
which scores are being erected, and
the extension, improvement and re-

FROM England comes the word that
women play golf with more regard to
rules than men. The reason is that
women have more leisure time in which
to master the rules, and more head for
details, and keep them better in mind.
To play contrary to rule means to be
unfair to opponents, and in the Ash
down Ladies' Golf club they have reg
ular examination day, when prizes are
awarded to those who best know the

DOES IT PAY?

If any of the hot weather firms in Phoenix doubt the value Of newspaper dverising in sum- mer a glance at the advertising columns of The Republican should convince them to the contrary. The best firms and merchants in the town are rep resented. They are not using space for amusement, eittlar, but for their own profit. If it did not pay, would they continue it? Hardly. They keep hammering away summer and winter, spring and autumn Their competitors who stop adver Using as soon as trade gets a little quiet soon cease to be competitors. No enc hears of them. They lose ground and then standing. They can not pick up trade where they lost it. The "dull season" gets little longer with them each year. No amount of rustling during half the year will make 1lp ground lost during the other half. Successful merchants ad- init that nothing brings trade like newspaper advertising when judiciously used. Those who claim that they don't need it are the ones oftenest advertised by the sheriff.

Neri Osisorn IS still exporting the books of ex-City Assessor and Tax Col lector Prescott, and compiling a new system of accounts or something Of that sort. H. began nearly a month ago, but has not worked full time. There is nothing like making 9 gccd thing last, so there is every indioation that at least thirty days will be re- quired to complete the job according to democratic standards. The pay is s per day and in time would make the pocrest expert comfortable. In this particular case nothing was wrong with the books, but the new council wanted to be sure, so MT. Osborn was employed. Unless he can bJ induced to get through shortly the democrats will have another treasury skeleton in their closet. M-. Osborn can hardly be blamed. He is not there fer his

 mittee has been compelled to submit
 to the indignities put upon it.
 Captain Price of the metropolitaz pclice force, when placed upon the witness stand few days ago, charged
 Mr. Moss. the. committees interlocu- tor, with having induced witness te Perjure himself before the grand jury and called the counsel a coward and several other things. Captain Price was asked to produce evidence Of the charge of sanc;doning perjury made against Mir Mess But the captain failed to produce his evidence and a blatant lawyer, who appeared as coun- sel for Price, created a scene by defy ing the committee, and then drawing knife upon the sergcant-at-arms who attempted to remove him from the committee room.
 The record Of the committee is un- satisfactory, Some facts have been brought out. but the sum total of the results has been not what was ex pected, mainly through the refusal of with esses to talk and the contempt they show fer the investigators. The committee. as it now appears, began it's work without any sound basis Of power. It has been compelled to sub init to insult and defamce at every turn. It was believed that the com mittee had the same power to compel witnesses to testify as is enjoyed by the courts, but that was mistake.
 The committee cannot expect to ac- ,c0mplish much when Price and other witnesses. and even shyster lawyers, posing as counsel, are permitted to in terrupt the proceedings. The spec tacle'cf disorder and virulent defiance of the committee is net encouraging. It reveals a condition in New York city that savors Of utter contempt for anything in the guise of law and or der. At the same time the behavior of the Tammany witnesses is in itself evidence of the dangerous character of the combination that now contro.s the city. As Q matter of fact every one of the insulting witnesses should be ar rested and punished in some way. The legislative committee should have been given that power by the passage Of an act to provide for a respect for and a recognition of it's standing. The situation in New York is disgraceful.

The interesting fact in the treasury report for May is nct merely the ap- pearance of a surplus, which might ba accidental, but the bringing of war expenditures within the limits of the new revenue law. With the balancing of receipts and expenditures it is now probable that there will be no press ing need for new revenue legislation during the next congress. This is the more pleasing as from the fiscal point of view it will nat be wise to make shanges i'll existing laws until our pol icy in the dependencies is sufficiently determined to permit 3 comprehensive visg of future tre.suly fiaions.

An interesting comparison of Amer ican and Spanish methods is found in Q statement of the government con- mission appointed to investigate con- ditions in Porto Rico. It is found that the total amount of silver mcney in circulation under Spanish rue was five and half million dollars, and that in the eight months the AmeTican sol- diers have been there they have added five millions in money to the amount in circulation, or practically doubled it. It is therefore now twica as easy for a native Porto Rfcan to get a dol lar as it was under Spanish rule.

How to Give Medicine.

some cases a little may be done to dis

In milk, coffee or brandy. 1t may be
made into a. tasteless emulsion by add

Bridging Behring Sea.

Professor w. j. MCGEE of Washing
ton, declares that two slow but inter-
esting changes are taking place in
Behring Sea- The immense quantity
of debris that is borne down the Yu-
kon from its sources and sides is being
deposited in the sea beyond the mouth
of that mighty stream. and its weight
causes the bed of the sea to subside. A
corresponding rise in the earth's crust
is produced along the chain of the
Aleutian Islands. Now, not only are
the islands themselves increasing in
size in consequence of being lifted up
out of the water, but new islands are
being formed in the gaps between the
others. In some Instances the new ISL
ands- are the result of the rise. and in
others they are the result of volcanic
action. Most of the Aleutians are of
volcanic origin, and they mark the po-
sition of a fold in the earth's crust that
is predisposed to eruption. In time,
Professor MCGEE says, there is likely to
be natural bridge from America to
Asia along this route, but he admits
that nobody now living is going to see
it.
