CRIME.

Crime would be considerably de-
creased if parents would make it a point
to provide honorable and profitable
employment for their boys A large
per cent, of the population of prisons
and penitentiaries is drawn from the
band of idle urchins running at large
daily upon the streets of towns and cit
les. Keep your boys profitably en-
ployed and they will live and grow w
for other purposes than to demonstrate
over and over again that "idleness is
the devils workshop"

second sections of freight train No. Ia

injuries The train was in two sections

header. 1t is said that the first section
stopped at tank at Graysville and
that the second section was not signal

MAGNIFICENT FREE TRIP
For the Children of Marietta to Wash
ing ton and Return in Pullman Cars,

Our readers have doubtless noticed
the advertisement of the Georgia Soap
Co. at present appearing in the Journal.
Under this offer Marietta children have
better chances to go than children from
almost any other town as the company
offers the trip to the twenty children
living within sixty miles of Atlanta
who collect the largest number of Glory
Soap wrappers, ard will also take one
child from Marietta who collects more
Glory Soap wrappers than any other
child living in Marietta. The conditions
are very simple, the only things neces-
sary being that you must be under six
teen years of age when you enter the
contest, must deposit twenty five Glory
Soap wrappers with the grocer and send
receipt he gives you to the company so
your name can be put on the list, and
then collect all you can from now until
July 10th, 1901. Deposit all of them
with the Grocer but do not send any
more receipts as the grocer forwards
them to the company, but be sure to
send the first receipt to the Georgia
Soap Co. The train will leave on July
23rd, 1901, and it is the opportunity of
life time for any ambitious boy or
girl who want to see the capital of their
country and know more about the land
they live in. 1t will be magnificent
way to spend your vacation.

TRUST PILED ON TRUST.

Samuel E. Moffat in the New York
Journal declares that there is nothing
in history to match the consolidation
of capital now gong on under our
eyes. What this movement means is
nothing less than the death of the COM
petitive system All the books on po-
litical economy viii have to be re-
written to fit the new conditions.
When all ownership Is consolidated, a
in the new Standard Oil-Coal- Iron
Steel Railroad Shipping trust, power
is created distinct from the people and
of unknown possibilities for good or
evil. The stock of the Standard Oil
Company, which is almost all held In a
few hands, is worth $500, 100000 more
today than it was six months ago Mr..
Rockefeller and half a dozen associates
have added that amount to their
wealth in a single holding IN half a
wear. When their riches are increasing
at such rate their absorption of new
industries is not only easy, 1t is I'M
aYoidabIe. While ordinary people, and
even common millionaires, are spend
ing most OF their incomes on living ex-
penses the b1llionaires will have prac-
ticaIly all their huge revenues avail
able for investment White we are
waiting to devise some method Of con-
trolling this gigantic new social force
we may console ourselves with the re-
Election that it will work at least one
temporary good. 1t will save the com
munity from serious panics, for it is
hardly conceivable that a Rockefeller
trust can be reduced to such distress as
shut down mills in every city in 1893

A WAY OUT OF DIFFICULTY.

The we'll informed correspondent of
the Boston Transcript stationed at
Washington, is very much inclined to
believe from what he has heard that
President Mckinley would experience
a sense of relief If the United States
Supreme Court should render a deci-
sion adverse to the administration in the
Philippine and Porto Rico cases. Com
menting on the recent anti-imper1alist
address which Justice Harlan delivered
at the annual banquet of the Loyal
Legion, the correspondent says "It
is not absolutely certain that the Pres
1den would be displeased if the court
brought IN a decision necessitating a
radical change of policy IN the Philip
pines. 1t is said that similar sugges-
tons have been dropped of late in ad-
minIstrat1on circles, and that the Pres
ident and his political advisers realize
that the Philippine policy has placed
the country in a very embarrassing
attitude and declaration by the Su-
preme Court upsetting the contention
that Congress has the right to govern
territory outside the constitution
would afford the administration an easy
way out of very troublesome predica-
ment.

The MARRIAGE KNOT.

We often talk of the marriage knot, -
but very few of us realize that the knot
was ever anything more than a figure
of speech, says Home Notes
Among the Babylonians, tying the
knot was part of the marriage ceremo-
ny. Then the priest took a thread from
the garment of the bride, and another
from that of the bridegroom, and tied
them into knot which he gave to the
bride, thus symbolizing the binding ma
ture of the union which now existed be-
tween herself and her husband.
