Many cities are placing restrictions that
amount to hardshlps upon the automobile.
The allegation is that the machines are
dangerous to the lives and limbs of pc
destrians and others. The same cutlery
was heard against the locomotive, the
trolley car and the bicycle. 1t is of course
true that there is danger attached to each
of these means of travel. but how do. they
compare as dangerous contrivances with
mans best friend" the horse? Leslie's
Weekly says a French satistician has
been investigating the subject of acci-
dents and fatalities due TO the various
current methods of locomotion, and is able
TO show. on the basis Of actual facts and
figures, that the horse is responsible for
more casualties than all other motive
agencies put together, In record Of LOO
cases of people killed or injured in a sin
gle month in France. the horse was found
responsible for Sl6 or over so per cent. (.
the railways came next with about per
cent, and the remaining cases were about
evenly divided between bicycles and auto
mobiles. In connection with these figures
it is to be borne in mind that automobiles
are more largely used in France than
elsewhere.

scARcITY OF FARM LApoR.

In the West as in the South there is
great scarcity of farm labor. In Kan
sas, for instance, there is an immense
wheat crop. and the farmers are afraid
that they will not be able to gather all
of it. A few days ago number of
them went to Kansas City, and through
a labor agency undertook to get laborers
for the harvest season, offering very at
tractive wages They could not, how
ever, get man to accompany them to
their farms, though there were known
to be hundreds of idle men in the city.
The same condition of affairs exists in
other states of the West Much wheat,
it is believed will be lost on account of
the inability of farmers to get help to
harvest it.
Here in Georgia the country papers are
fun of complaints of the lack of labor.
Farmers cannot get sufficient help to
cultivate their cotton fields. 1t has not
been so many years since farmers were
able to get all the help they needed.
Why is it that there is such scarcity
now? Is 1t not because there is steady
increase in the movement TO the cities?
It certainly looks so.
Pretty nearly all of the towns in the
South have many more negroes in them
than can find employment That is the
case in this city. And yet it would be
difficult II not impossible, to get negroes
to go from Savannah to the country to
work in the cotton fields. In the West
the farmers boys get away from the
farms as soon as they see chance to
make living in the cities, and it often
chance.
Why is it that there is such eagerness
to get away from the farms? There is
no more independent life than that of a
farmer, and in no other occupation, and
in no business or profession is there less
care and worry. 1t is true that the
farm does not offer great opportunities
for getting ahead in the world, but far
mers who are attentive to their farms
and are thrifty do about as well as those
who seek their fortunes in the cities. No
large fortunes are made on the farms,
d
good living and save something for old
age is greater perhaps than of those
who live in cities
The attractions of the city are no doubt
greater than are those of the country
People want to get where there are
crowds and amusements. Farmers sons
having received a little education, think
they can make fortunes if they get a
foothold in the cities, and It is certain
that the little education the negroes get
makes them dissatisfied with life on the
farms and plantations.
But that most of farmers sons and
pretty nearly all of the negroes would
be far better off in the country there
can be no doubt. But they cannot be
made to think so. If it were not for the
immigration, which comes in such album
dance from Europe, very considerable
part of the farm lands IN the West would
have to be abandoned for want Of labor
to cultivate them,

The Philadelphia Record says: "Of far
greater Importance to the Southern States
than any political issue, and quite as i'm
portant as the further development of
Southern industries, is the making of
good roads." That this is true there is
every reason to believe; nevertheless il is
an extremely difficult matter to arouse
the people and get them interested in
good roads. They look upon the vast
stretches of sand and bog holes in a help
less sort of way and say, 1T will cost
too much money; we can't afford It," And
then they go right ahead employing two
horses where one would suffice, and haul
ing with their double team half the weight
that could be drawn by a single team on
a good road. 1t has been stated upon
authority frequently that the saving in
cost of transportation over a permanent
ly hardened highway. as compared with
the ordinary country road, is not less
than 80 per cent, and often more; yet
probably IS per cent. of the South contin-
ues to plod over roads that are no better
than-were the country roads of century
ago and waste money in so doing. Bad
country roads are the worst kind of false
economy.

Col. Curtis Guild Jr., who is well
known in this city through his connection
with the Seventh Army Corps of the
Spanish war, has been chosen to deliver
the Fourth of July grafton in Boston to-
morrow. 1t is one of Boston's queer old
customs that she pays her Independence
Day orator 500. The check, it is hardly
necessary to say, is always returned and
devoted to charity. The orator, however,
receives a number of copies of his ora
ton bound in fine morocco, embossed with
the seal of the city and containing his
portrait. And he usually considers that
to be compensation enough.

no less than si2.O0oO00. The largest in

amounting to 100000. Among the dom
ors to the colleges were several OF the
best known of the great millionaires, In

tice that all of this money was given
to colleges of the North already richly en-
dowed, such as Harvard. Yale and the
University of Chicago. Practically none
of it came to distinctively Southern in
situations. since ST. Louis may hardly be
called a Southern city. About the only
school in the South to receive any part
of this great outpouring of 100000 last
month was Booker Washington's school
for colored youth at Tuskeegee.

LATE PRESIDENT HAYES MEMORY
HONORED BY THE REV, ABORTION

When he died, I felt-outside of my
family had lost the best friend l had
in the world. One cannot do justice to
this man by looking at him from one
standpoint only-you must study him as
a man of many parts-almost equally
great in all.
But Rutherford r. Hayes was we'll
born. His ancestors for generations were
of good stock. They were strong. brave
and modest. The family can trace it's
history back to 1880 when its members
were chieftains fighting with William
Wallace and Robert Bruce. The New
England ancestry was the best that the
colonial period could produce. They
were sturdy men and Christian women.
and the unassumng manner of Presi-
dent Hayes was characteristic OF the
family for generations. The grandfather
of President Hayes as we'll as his father
was named Rutherford. The president
left son of the same name. so we have
a Rutherford Hayes in four generations.
The first Rutherford was a blacksmith
and at the forge accumulated some
property, then became a farmer and a
keeper of an inn.

The Cnhnn QuestIon.

Some Americans who have Travelled
in Cuba say that the main difficulty
in the solution of the Cuban problems
in Congress will be that those who are
called upon to settle the question do
not know anything about it. II this
be so it is rather a serious matter. for
persons who undertake the decision
of questions of grave Importance in
the government of tropical island,
without acquainting themselves with
the conditions. can get its affairs into
more different kinds of snarl than
the statesmen of two generations can
untangle.
The unrest and dissatisfaction of the
Cubans is. of course. the largest and
most significant fact in the situation.
Human nature may sometimes be un-
reasonable, but when the people OF
large section of country are disquieted
and restless it is usually safe to in
fer that they have a good reason for
It. The trouble in this case seems to
be mainly that the Cubans have at
present no market for their sugar.
and are therefore poor. If they can
get that market in this country with
reduced tariff, they can probably gov
ern themselves; if not, they will have
10 ask for annexation.
The question appears to be whether
we want a Cuban annex or revised
tariff. and there are those who think
that either would be Objectionable.
1t was once said that there are so
many people in this world who do not
know what they want that those who
know what they do not want can
usually avoid getting it. This may be
the case in the present instance.
Meanwhile the Cuban is on the fence
placed there by those to whom he
is supposed to be grateful-and he
does not like il. II would take more
philosophy than most folk have to
make him like it.
