MIR. DAFFIN's APPEAL.

Mr.. Daffiin, Chairman of the Park
and Tree Commission, thinks the city
should be more liberal in it's appro-
priations for the benefit of the parks
and squares, and there is no doubt
the people agree with him. Every
citizen who is proud of the city is anx-
ious that the city shall be made beau
tiful by more general planting
of trees and grass. When the cost
is taken into consideration it is evil
dent that little can be done In the way
of planting trees and grass with the
small appropriation the commission
now receives.
In view of the fact that the house
drainage system has been completed
and that the city is now at no expense
for maintaining quarantine together
with the fact that the increase in tax
able property each year increases the
city's revenue about $4,000, there ought
to be something more for parks and
squares than they have been getting,
especially as there is no promise of
decrease in the rate of taxation.
And it seems to us that the city
should get from the Legislature, If 1t
hasn't it now, authority to plant trees
along the sides of streets, in front of
lots and residences, at the cost of
property owners. That is the only way
to bring about uniformity in the work
Of identifying the streets. On some
of the streets now it is easy to find
few blocks where trees and grass
have been planted, in the spaces be-
tween the sidewalk and the pavement,
thus adding greatly to the beauty of
the locality, but in close proximity
there are spaces where there is neither
grass nor trees. In order to remedy
this condition of things the city must
undertake the work of identifying the
streets as well as the parks and

the sentiment of true patriotism and
is based on a feigned. fictitious or imag-
mary love of Zion. He declared that
the average Jew loves America and
would not exchange it for any other
land. Zionlsm further overlooks the
fact that IsraeIs mission is not polit-
icaI, but religious. The greatest bless
ing in disguise that ever happened to
Israel. he said, was the overthrow of
the Palestinian kingdom and the dis
persion of Israel throughout the world.
Zionism is impossible, because the ten
or twelve millions of Jews in the world
do not wish to go back to Palestine.
The situation, DR.. Silverman said, was
wittily summed up by an anti-Zion-
list who said: IF the Jews set up a
state Of their own in Palestine. will

THE RURAL POLICE BILL.

The bin of Mr.. Blackburn of Full
ton, to create a rural police force in
every militia district of the state, has
been tabled and the probabilities are
that it will be heard of no more. The
bill provides that each district shall
be patroled at least once week, and
that all criminals, idlers and Migrants
shall be arrested. The Compensation
of the policemen depends upon the
arrests made; thus, no arrests, no pay.
The Hon. Mr.. Hall said the ball ought
to be entitled, "A bill to raise hell in
Georgia" There can be no doubt that
Mr.. Blackburn had only the best pur-
poses in view when he framed his bill
tricts, as we'll as the cities, should be
relieved of the reprehensible characters
against whom the bill Is directed
Nevertheless there are reasons for
thinking that such a bill in operation
would be apt to produce something
like the results suggested by Mr.. Hall.
1t is possible and probable that there
would be a number of men on this
rural police force who would search
more eagerly for fees than for crimi-
mails, idlers or Migrants. In order to
make the fees they would arrest ins
offensive and innocent persons and
thus demoralize the labor upon which
the farmers are forced to depend.

The origin of slang has always been
a puzzle to philologists. but once in a
while a current phrase can be traced
to its source. says the Philadelphia
Telegraph. The eolloquialism. ITO feel
like thirty cents" is apparently nom
sensical, but it is certainly the most
forceful expression of the day for de-
noting small, mean, and contemplate
in ones own sight. Its origin is thus
explained by a Philadelphia lawyer,
who sometimes practices in New York:
There is a vagrant law in New York,
under which a person having no vis1-
bic means of support may be placed In
durance. 1t has also been decided in
that state that person having 50
small sum as thirty cents in his pos
session has visible means of support
Now, there is no law in New York, ex-
cept the vagrant law. under which
booksellers and gamblers of that sort
may be held. Shortly after the decis-
ion just mentioned was formulated,
two gamblers were captured in a raid
and taken to the Tenderloin station
house. They sent for a lawyer, who
came and had talk with them. Tt
will never do to make any show of
money here he said. Give me your
rolls. They handed their wads over
to him. and he gave each of them a
quarter and nickel, with instructions
to produce the coins when he. asked
them to do so in court
when their cases were called, the
lawyer got them off on the plea that
they were not Migrants, each having
the legal amount of funds in his pos
session. Just as the decision was rem
dered in favor of his clients, a mes
senger entered the court room and re-
quired the lawyers presence at the Su-
preIne Court. He left without seeing
his clients. and they wendell their way
to the nearest saloon.
How do you feel?" said one.
I feel like thirty cents said the
other, and probably will until I get
my roll back. or what's left of it.
And that is how that phrase was
started on it's travels +"

CoLoMBIA,s DEMANDS

1t is evident from what took place
in the cabinet meeting on Tuesday that
Colombia is trying to drive a hard
bargain for concessions in connection
with the Panama canal She thinks
she is in a position to make extor-
tionate demands. and it seems to be
her purpose to do so.
Some time ago it was said that If
Colombia refused to be reasonable in
her demands negotiations would be
opened with Nicaragua and Costa Rica
for concessions along the Nicaragua
route, but it seems that these countries
have no intention of permitting them
selves to be used to coerce Colombia,
They are ready to state the grounds
on which they will make concessions,
but they will not do anything In that
direction until the United States say
they have practically abandoned the
Panama route and want to utilize the
Nicaragua route.
1t looks as if the United States had
got into very unpleasant position.
AS far as we are able to see how
ever, no blame attaches to any one.
But the present deadlock suggests that
the building of the canal on the Pana-
ma route, or any other, may not be
begun quite as soon as it was thought
it would when the Spooner amendment
was adopted.

--------7----W
COUNTY DEPOSITS.

One of the recommendations made by
the grand jury in the report which it
submitted to the court on Tuesday was
that the county treasurer place the
county funds at interest on daily bal
ances by inviting bids from the banks
for them. The recommendation is a
good one. The city is getting interest
on its balances and there is no good
reason why the county should not ben
eft from its balances in the same way
We do not know of course how much
the county could realize from this
source. but it is pretty safe to say sew
eral thousand dollars a year. Some
idea of the amount might be learned by
inquiring as to the amount the city
receives on it's balances.
Three or four thousand dollars year
would pay the interest on the cost of
a large school building, and there is
need of such a building just now. In
deed, there is likely to be steadily
increasing need for school buildings.
If the county got any benefit from
the banks which have the use of its
deposits. there might be some hesita-
ton in demanding interest on them, but
whenever the county wants money it
has to pay the current rate of interest
for it. Why then should not the banks
which have the use of the county's
money pay for it's use?
OF course any one of the banks would
like to take the deposits direct from the
collector and discharge all the duties
now performed by the treasurer, thus
saving the county nearly $4,000 year,
but the treasurer's Office is constitu-
tional one. and the funds of the county
have to pass through his hands. There
is no constitutional objection, however,
to putting the countys funds in the
bank that will pay the most for them.
The grand jury's recommendation is a
good one and should be adopted.

What queer patients one has some
times!" said a Madison avenue doctor
to a fellow physician whose office was
around the corner, according to the
New York Tribune.
Why what new experience have you
had?" said the other doctor.
why" said the first physician, "a
man came to me this morning and told
me that he was troubled with the
noises of the street. He said his
nerves had all broken down from the
terrible strain, and that he was afraid
of losing his mind and being sent off
to some institution. When l asked
the man how long he had lived in
the city. he said about three months,
and added that he was from Philadel-
phia.'' z
How did you treat the case?" asked
the across the-street doctor.
"Well asked THE man a few more
questions, felt of his pulse, examined
him carefully, and finally 1 said to
him:
my dear sir, 1 can't find anything
the matter with you. Your health
seems all right. There are no signs
of functional troubles. I should SIM
ply advise that when going to bed at
night you take a bottle of some light
beer. Then think you will Sleep"
81 should say that was about all he
needed" said the other doctor.
Yes" was the reply; but can you
believe it, when than man was going
out he said:
" Doctor. / thank you; but 1 don't
think the beer will do me any good.
sleep all right at night 1t is only the
daytime that bothers me-" +%

Discovered Mt Last.

These two Irishmen had just come
over" as so many of their country
men had done before them, says the
New York Times. They had seen and
heard many strange things, but now,
in the tree near which they stood
and right above them, apparently,
something was going on that their
wit could not fathom. There was a
great commotion, a loud noise, as of
some animal giving expression to its
views of matters and things in general
but although they had wandered
around the tree scores of times and
peered along every branch and under
every leaf they could discover nothing.
At last Pat concluded to climb. He
though he had sufficiently located the
sound to find the cause of Ii.
He climbed, crawled out on a GER
tain limb, placed his ear to a certain
spot, and listened with the greatest in
tentness, while he looked around I'M
ceasingly.
At last he nodded his head signifi-
cantly to Mike. and down the tree
he hurried.
Wool. hev We found the schpalpeen,
Patg" asked anxious Mike.
"Yis, be jabbers, olive found i'm
an l know just what he is an whur

AN phwat is e, an whur is 'e?''
Hes nothin' in the wurruld but a
noise, an he's roight up thor in thot

They learned later that the noise
was a treetoad.

why He "Didn't Dast."

There is considerable. risk. attached
to loaning books at a public library
for the borrowers not infrequently
move away without going through the
ceremony of returning the books, says
the New York Times.
To minimize this risk each patron is
required to fill out blank form. on
which some reliable person signifies
his Willingness to be responsible for
the books loaned.
A librarian in one of the suburban
branches was recently hard put to it
to find "guarantor" for a diminutive
lad who was anxious to join. Appar-
emily the youth in question had no
influential friends to vouch for him.
Suddenly the librarian had an inspira-
ton.
do you live around here?" she ask
ed.
The would-be borrower answered in
the affirmative.
did you ever buy groceries in the
store on the corner?"
Again he assented.
We'll, go over, and ask the grocer to
sign for you. He'll do it," she con-
cluded with a relieved air.
But blacklist gloom enveloped the
youth, as he replied:
''Oh, 1 wouldn't dasti We owe him
$S.16 an my mother SEE faint no use
to pay him, once, cos we're goin' to
move soon!"
Needless to say, after this unexpect-
ed glimpse of the family ethics the
prospective member was allowed to
gain his ideas of current literature
from the neighborhood billboards,
