COLOMBIA MIsREPREsENTEp.

Recent advices tending TO create the i'm
preston that this government will meet
with difficulties IN its negotiations with
the government Of Colombia looking to the
building OF the Panama canal are dis
counted by the latest dispatches from
Washington. evidently based on informa-
ton from Official sources.
While it is admitted that the question Of
sovereignty over the right OF way across
the isthmus is a delicate one. IL is be-
lieved that It viii readily yield to diplo-
macy. and IL is even intimated that a
tacit understanding already exists be-
tween the representatives OF the two gov
ernments which win make speedy set
Element OF this question possible.
Undoubtedly the internal troubles with
which the Colombian government has had
to contend for some time past have made
negotiations for a cession OF territory
impossible for the time being, both on
account OF the danger involved in arous-
ing hostile sentiment among the Colon
bians and because OF the unstableness of
the existing government. But now that
the revolution has been practically put
down Csnd this not without certain form

EDITOR RussELL,s PLAN.

Ex-Congressman Ben Russell has re-
turned to his first love. Journalism, and is
making the cambridge Argus very lively
paper.
1t seems natural to have this gifted and
genial Georgian in the editorial ranks
again.
Russell always has had ideas of his own
and has never hesitated to express them,
whether on the stump, in the legislature,
In the national house of representatives.
or on the tripod
In the latest issue of The Argus he pub
fishes an emphatic editorial on the evils
of too much legislation.
He is in favor of abolishing the senate,
reducing the house to forty-four members,
the present size of the senate, and
amending the constitution so that this
single body shall have only one session
every ten years.
Ben always would have his little Joke.
Few men in Georgia can count more
friends in the present Georgia legislature
and not one of them viii turn against
him on account of the editorial to which
we have referred. If he viii only come to
Atlanta during the present session of the
general assembly we are willing to wager
Autograph copy Of the declaration of in
dependence against a years subscription
to The cambridge Argus that he will re-
ceive unanimous invitation to a seat on
the floor of both houses OF the legislature
before he has been here twenty-four
hours.

COME SOUTH, YOUNG FARMER.

We cannot imagine why our people
should be so very anxious to go west,
live in sod-houses, endure cold anywhere
from 10 to 40 degrees below zero. when
land is so cheap in the south, where the
winters are mild, the growing season long
and water and lumber so cheap" wrote
a northern man some years ago.
'Tt costs more to build house in the
extreme west than to buy farm down
south and an improved one at that Then.
again, an acre of wheat on southern
farms brings to the owner a better price
than the wheat grown west, and the
early vegetables are sure Of a good price
in the market, and you can raise cotton
for a clear money crop" he added.
To all of this we readily agree, but the
stream of emigration from New York city
to the far west continues undated and
the sod-houses are lived in. the Arctic
cold endured, and the southern farms
continue cheap and the southern people
run TO town to school their children and
the tens of thousands Of acres of barren
soil in the south tells US there is something
the matter.
Now what is It?
Is it the negro that keeps the northwest
farmers away from us? Then the remedy
lies in coming to the south in such num-
bers and with enough industry to make
these cheap lands pay a handsome profit
There is no other remedy that occurs to
our mind, and the southern legislators,
state and federal. should give strict atten-
ton to this crying need Of this southern
country

the power it needs. II 1t would only use
that power. The Sherman law is a good
beginning, but does not go far enough.
1t might and should be extended to the
limits of legislative authority under the
constitution as 1t stands. which Senator
Hoar indicates as follows:
I'VE have the right to prohibit all trans
actions of interstate or international COM
merce by corporations.
I'VE have the right to impose on them
any conditions that may be thought fit.
I'VE can compel them to keep accounts.
1--WE can submit them to government
inspection.
I'VE can prohibit the watering OF stock.
"Above all we can enact that unless all
national regulations be complied with the
exemption of personal liability for their
stockholders shall not exist.
I'VE can require every corporation,
great or small, to do the bidding of con-
gress at the peril of exposing its members
to individual liability for all its debts and
obligations and of being prohibited from
doing interstate business altogether"
If the powers thus pointed out were rig
orously exercised the evils and dangers
Of trusts would Immediately be checked
and averted to a great extent.

SOUTH eEoReIA,s SHARE.

II there is anybody or anything in ana
about the state government of Georgia
which is from the southern part of the
state. the fact has not yet been made
apparent, complains the Quitman Free
Press. Our Quitman contemporary should
cheer up; It is hardly as bad as that. But.
of course, great deal depends upon what
one calls 'south Georgia" If, as some
seem to define it. 'south Georgia" means
only those counties which border on the
Florida line, The Free Press is probably
correct. But If we run a line through the
exact center Of the state and call one
half south Georgia and the other half
north Georgia, as would seem to be more
nearly correct and proper. we will find
that the southern half Of the state has
the secretary of state, commissioner of
agriculture, school commissioner, the
three railroad commissioners. one member
OF the prison commission, three supreme
court judges, clerk of the house and as
sistant secretary of the senate. There is
nothing like being exact while you are
about il. But. still, we are for the south
Georgia candidate" every time-and even
wish there were more Of him.

REV. SAM JONES TALKS OF
ABRAHAM LINCOLNS PEDIGREE

w REGRET somewhat the discussion
up in the newspapers in reference
to the pedigree, fatherhood. and
50 on, of Abraham Lincoln. 1t is
no small matter to reflect upon the
dead uselessly. When 1 was in
SheIbyville, Illinois, this summer
attending the chautauqua there,
I fell in company with most
courtly, splendid old lawyer OF that
TOWN who had been associate justice OF
the supreme court of Illinois Tor
number of years, and in conversation
with him he told me that he rode the
circuit of courts with Abraham Lin
coin and the other lawyers of the cir
cult for twenty years, that he never
knew any man any more intimately
than he knew Lincoln. And then
began to quiz him. l asked him was
Mr.. Lincoln a great lawyer. NO.
said he, I'VE had many better law
yers and more able advocates at the
bar than Mr.. Lincoln" asked did
Mr.. Lincoln drink whisky. He said
mo, in my association with him for
twenty years 1 never saw him take
a drink and 1 never smelled whisky up
on his breath" / asked him was ne
profane. mo" said he, II never heard
him swear an oath nor did ever near
of his swearing an oath" said, was
he a genial, pleasant man. He said IN
reply: "Mr. Lincoln was a very morose
man except at times when he was
drawn out, with his fund of anee-
dotes at the hotels after supper at
night where we were stopping. Then
everybody enjoyed him, and he enjoyed
himself with the crowd and seemed TO
throw off the spirit of melancholy
which characterized him most every
hour of his life" I asked him did he
compare with Douglas as an orator,
land by the way he said Douglas was
also an intimate friend of both Lin
coin and himself, and associated with
them for many years in the practice
of law.) mo" he said, few men
would compare with Douglas as an
orator or an advocate" Then / asked
him what were the dominant charac-
teristics of Mr.. Lincoln that made him
the man he was. The judge replied:
First, his sterling integrity. his down
right honesty. for" said he, Lincoln
would have died before he would have
told a lie. "Once," said he, when
I was associated with him in case,
our client was on the stand as wit
ness. 1 was examining the witness
myself, and the witness seemed TO
edge and hide a little in answering the

OF assistance on the part of the United
states) the Colombian government win
feel free to take up the canal negotia-
tons at once.
Notwithstanding recent unfavorable re-
ports, it is believed that the progressive
people OF Colombia heartily favor any
reasonable concession to the United States
that will insure the building Of the canal.
Not only because they realize that the
completion OF the canal means the rapiC
development OF their county and that
the United States is the only government
now in position to carry out that great
work, but because they understand, too,
that it all involves closer relations be-
tween the two governments-in fact that
it practically gives to Colombia the
strongest ally in the world.
Everything indicates, therefore, that
the administration at Washington, now
that the question Of title has been settled,
will push negotiations with the Colombian
government with view to beginning pre-
liminary operations early in the coming
year. All in all, there is really nothing TO
discourage the idea that the Panama
canal will be built by the United States,
and that the beginning of work will not be
long delayed. And the most gratifying
feature of it all is the great benefit that
the south will derive from the carrying
out Of this great enterprise. The compile
ton OF the canal viii mean the opening
of the orient to the products of this sec
ton. and the building up of great south
ern ports. The south. therefore, is vital
ly interested in every phase Of the canal
question, and satisfaction will be felt
throughout this section that the complica-
lions recently reported as having arisen
seem to have been greatly exaggerated.

TOO MUCH PUBLIC PRINTING.

The government printing Office at Wash
ington is the largest establishment of its
kind in the world. Whether It is larger
than it really ought to be or not. it is
certain that an immense amount of USE
less public printing is done and a great
deal of money wasted on that account
Books, pamphlets, reports and other docu-
ments are printed by the thousand and
the ton at the expense of the federal gov
eminent every year which are of no use
or interest to anybody and have no reason
for existence.
President Roosevelt is making an effort
to stop this waste which should receive
the commentator of the public and the
cordial cooperation OF congress.
The United States government has set
a bad example in this matter which most
of the state governments have been quick
to initiate.
1t is safe to say that millions of dollars
have been thrown away on superfuous
printing by the federal and state authori-
ties.
President Roosevelt took proper and
timely action when he recently directed
his secretary to write to the head Of each
of the executive departments that ''he
thinks there is much useless matter, and
a large number of unnecessary and ex-
pensive illustrations included in many OF
the reports and documents published; that
many are issued at great expense which
accomplish no practical good. and that
there is too much public printing general
ly"
A very large part Of the stun that ema-
mates from the government printing office
finds its way to. junk shops and paper
mills It's handling costs the government
very heavily in one way and another and
its transmission through the mails in
creases immensely the annual expense Of
our mail service.
The government prints and distributes
many documents that are interesting and
serviceable. 1t should continue to do this,
but better discretion in the selection OF
the material for the public printer would
eliminate much, If not the greater part
of the vast bulk of copy" that now goes
