NOT "JoE" JOHNSON
cRITIcIsINe TERRELL

To the Editor Of The Journal:
have noticed in your joint debate coli
umn quite recently two communications
signed by ]. H. Johnston, of North At
lanta. in which he makes attacks upon
the Hon. J. NJ. Terrell. candidate for gov
ernor. A number of my acquaintance
and friends IN the city have spoken to me
on the subject Of said articles, attributing
their authorship to me, Notwithstanding
the fact that Mr.. Johnston spells his
name with a ST.. while my name is plain
old johnson, without the ct" Our tni-
tails being the same, and / also reside In
North Atlanta and being an old citizen
of Atlanta the mistake is quite natural /
do not relish sailing under false colors, or
remaining longer under mistaken iden-
THY.
therefore ask that you publish this in
your Joint debate column in justice to
myself as we'll as to my old friend Joe
Terrell. that my friends may know that
what little influence I may have, If any,
is not being exerted against him in his
race for governor, as so many appear TO
think.
have not the pleasure Of an acquaint-
anee with Mr.. J. H Johnston. the author
of the articles referred to, neither do
question his right to pitch into MI
Terrell. In his advocacy of the candidacy
of Mr. Guerry. But don't want anybody
TO think l am doing IL. don't KNOW AAr.
Query except by reputation. My knowl-
edge of Mr. EstiIl is on the same line, but
I do know Mr.. Terrell well, because 1
lived in the same house with him and his
estimable wife for several years. The
way to know people is to live with them.
I take the greatest pleasure in saying that
I never knew cleaner, purer or a more
honorable man socially, politically or re-
Hgiously than the Hon. Joseph M. Ter
reil. and am bold to express the opinion
that If he is elected governor on the 5tn
of June which 1 confidently predict the
executive chair will be as ably and salts
factorily filed by him as by any OF his
predecessors.
AS to his good wife, there's no woman
in Georgia that would more httingly grace
the executive mansion than she. There
won't be any hyfalootin" airs put on

sions. Mr.. TerrelPs administration VIII

now require Mr.. Hill to do in my case,
for then that man as such candidate
would be on trial before the public and
would be entitled to such specifications.
I do not name any of these men; do
not put any of them on trial. and so far
as 1 know, none of them are demanding
specifications. If they viii make the de-
mand I viii comply with the same. am
denouncing the evil Of lobbyism and am
seeking to destroy 1t as far as possible
in Georgia. That those guilty OF lobby
ism are thus indirectly attacked is an IN
avoidable result. Those who are thus
guilty are indefensible; those who are not
guilty need no defense. The cause OF
which class is it that Mn Hill is so feel
ingly defending?
Going back to the petition from which
Mr. Hill quotes, will simply say in con-
clusion, that none of the numerous par
ties to the cause denied the allegations
as to the nature of our services before
the legislature, and that the court affiruR
ed the truth thereof by awarding US fees
as prayed Yours truly,

MAssENoALE's WARM
CRITICISM OF TAPP

To the Editor of The Journal:
There are two things in the case Of Hon.
Dupont Guerry's candidacy that ought 70
strongly operate against him with good
men and conservative patriots. beg leave
to call attention to them, as follows:
First. Enough has been disclosed con-
corning Mr. Query to show that he is a
man who is easily and strongly swayed by
his own personal and financial interests.
For instance, so long as he was railroad
attorney he found no fault with their sim
munity from just taxation and yet the
railroads were getting more of II then
than they are now. When did this new
zeal strike him so hard?
So long as he was a railroad attorney
he saw no evil in the free pass business.
He used them himself, of course, and has
not claimed that he ever protested against
their issuance by the companies he rep
resented to state house officials, judges
and legislators. If free passes are corrupt
ing cardboards now why were they not
equally so then and why did not his viz
tuOus soul rebel against them in that day.
? So long as he was railroad attorney
he raised no howl about lobbyism. If he
did not actually lobby himself, he allowed
his partner, Joe Hall, to attend to that
Job and Joined in a petition to the superior
court asking big fees for the lobby SER
vice done on the legislature. Why didn't
Mr.. Query stop Joe Hall from lobbying

facture of artificial indigo, a. chemical
process for making which was discover
ed in Germany about thirty-fve years
ago. 1t was started with less than
forty workmen. all told. 1t now en-
ploys over 5000 men, and has staff
of las scientific chemists, and by plac-
ing this substitute upon the market at
u very low price they have nearly
ruined the natural-indigo industry of
india
The Germans have also discovered a
method for obtaining ground Stag from
steel process, which Is used as a fertil-
izer, and England, although she pro-
duces as much steel as Germany, has
become good customer for this article
The Krupp gun factory Is another in
stance of this progress, too familiar to
need description, but the latest Is the
discovery by German chemist, by the
name of Giebler, Of a process of hard
ening steel which makes 1t, 1t Is said,
ID per cent. stronger, so per cent lighter
and one-third less costly than the
Krupp, Harvey. or Boehler steel. The
inventor will not sell the secret of the
process to any foreign manufacturer,
but will retain it for the benefit of Ger
many. This, il true, will give this
country an enormous advantage in
naval matters, for, with a lighter hull,
lighter machinery, and lighter guns, a
very much higher rate of speed can be
produced for given consumption of
fuel, which means also an enlarged
steaming distance. A century ago, the
English and French makers OF scientific
instruments were far in advance OF the
Germans. During the last twenty
years all this has changed. The value
of the exports from Germany Of scien-
tlfc instruments for the year 1898 was
about 250,000-three times what it
ployment to $4,000 people.
Study of these facts has caused Con-
sui Ozmun to question whether in the
United States the relationship between
the scientific shool and the factory is
close enough. 1t probably is not at this
time; but it is becoming closer year by
year. The old-fashioned way of meas
uflHS production ny RUE VI eye aHu
thumb is fast giving place to well-de-
veloped scientific processes. Just as
sensible people no longer build houses
without employing architects or try to
erect great industrial or public works
without mechanical and civil engineers.
so it is becoming the rule in American
industries to utilize the services of
skilled chemists and other trained men
of applied science, to do by accurate
and trustworthy means what our
grnndfathers were wont to do crudely
by guesswork. Nevertheless we have
not advanced so far in this direction
that there is not yet plenty of room for
further progress. We can still learn q
lot from Germany.

WHAT IS OUR DUTY

OF course. We may construct highways and

country; we may buy up the lands Of the irars

engage, as We have done, about ono thousand
American school teachers cat the expense Of the

OF the rising generation; we may separate church
from state and give all religious denominations
the same opportunity which the Catholics have
hitherto monopolized: but, important a. all
these things arc, they are all subsidiary to the
one supreme dny which the United States owes
TO the Philippines and that is the duty Of po.
liticaly organizing the nation with representa-
tive institutions Of their own. and granting tho

Value of Applied Science.

" y \ RECENT report to the state
department from Stuttgart, Con-
l. sui Ozum analyzed keenly the
causes of Germany's remarkable
commercial advance and dropped some
hints not without value for the Ameri-
can people. Common belief credits this
advance largely to the victory of Prus-
sia over France in 1S70-l. Mr. Ozmun
attributes it more largely TO the en-
phass placed in Germany upon scien-
tiic education, upon applied science
And in support OF his theory he makes
a convincing show of circumstantial
evidence.
AS a result of this emphasis there are
today, he points out, more than $500
thoroughly trained chemists in German
factories, not 10 speak of 5000 as
sistants, all continually studying how
TO improve processes and introduce
economies. The sugar industry illus
trates the practical application which
the Germans make of their educational
system. In 1910, $4,000 tons of beet
root were crushed, from which 5000
luis VI raw sugar were pIouuSSNi, SHOW
ing about 5h per cent. of raw sugar
extracted from the root. Twenty years
later, 100000 tons were treated which
produced 12S,000 tons of sugar, or about
per cent. Last year, about 100000
tons were crushed, which produced
100000 tons of raw sugar, raising the
percentage to Is, This advance is due
entirely to scientific treatment.
The production of dry colors, chem
icals, and dyes in Germany shows a
corresponding increase in product and
in dividend-paying capacity. Compar-
ing the statistics of the dyeing indus
try of the year 1874 with those of 1898,
il is found that, Notwithstanding prices
in 1898 We're considerably lower than in
1874, the net income in 1874 was "a, ,00O,-
600 marks, (about $6,00O,O0O.) and in
1898 was 120,OOO,0O0 marks (about $780,
600, 0O0) The great increase of earning
capacity Is due largely, says Mr. o.
nun, to the constant labor of trained
men, who by application of their tech
nical knowledge have SO cheapened
production that they have succeeded in
getting this trade away from the Eng
lish, who formerly controlled it. An
other Illustration is found in the manu-

and money resulting from having to
organize each census separately has
been heavy drag upon the efficiency
Of these decennial inquiries Hereafter
this will not be felt; and It Is sincerely
TO be hoped that the subject mentioned
Will receive due attention.
Next to the enumeration Of the popu-
lation we can think of no subject Of
inquiry OF larger consequence than
this. If the assertions made by u NUM-
ber of distinguished obstetricians con-
cerning the decline in the size Of Amerl-
can as compared with foreign-born
families be correct, a problem of far
reaching influence is indicated. We
have no doubt that these assertions are
made honestly and in good faith; but
they admittedly rest on narrow basis
the vital statistics of only six states
What is needed to define this problem
Is comprehensive inquiry covering
the entire country. That would show
just what the facts are, and 1t would
aid materially in estimating the future
population, something which is of i'm
portance in craftsmanship. The varl-
Gus states are untrustworthy collectors
of vital statistics. They lack "a suit
able machinery of collection and also
the authority associated in the public
mind with a census conducted by Uncle
Sam. All that is needed TO secure the
desired information is assent from
Washington. This should certainly be
given.
The Scranton tribune. [volume] (Scranton, Pa.) 1891-1910, 1902-03-20

v r HAS recently been made public,
not by the administration, that
Il General Miles, after evolving an
unsolicited plan for the pacifica
tion of the Philippines, submitted it to
the secretary of war, who disapproved
it; and then took it in person to the
president who likewise declined to
authorize its adoption. The public has
not been informed as to the character
of General Miles plan and the admin
istratior has not seen lit to take any
notice of the incident.
1t will be recalled that General Miles
WAS prolific in plans for bettering the
conduct of the war against Spain. His
first effort in that direction was an at
tempt to convince his superior officers
that General Wesley Merritt had no
use in the first Philippine expedition
for more than 5000 men, although it
turned out that more than seven times
that number had to be sent eventually.
Another of General Miles plans was TO
march an army overland in Cuba
through mud and swamps from the
u feat that would hardly be possible
in a time of complete peace, owing to
the difficulties of transport and of
keeping in touch with the base of sup
plies. This, also, was rejected, as was
his subsequent plan for Withdrawing
Skaters army from Santiago before
the fall of that place and it's use in an
overpowering swoop upon Porto Rico.
There We're many minor incidents in
connection with General Miles conduct
upon the records denote singular pet
ulance and jealousy. These We're pass
ed over in silence at the time, but they
added to the burden which President
Mckinley had to bear, and they had
their part in weakening the influence
of the major general commanding.
For the administration now to turn
down the officers who have been work
ing night and day in the Philippines by
sumnarily abandoning their plans and
has not been on the ground and whose
temperament as developed in recent
years in the atmosphere of intrigue
prevailing in army circles in and
around Washington makes it uncertain
how long he would stick to a. line of
conduct after marking it out. would be
AN unheard of proceeding. The admin
istration needs no defense for its action
in these premises.
