we remember rightly, he is dis

himself to rights. We know him
only too we'll TO our sorrow and
evidences are still eEtant to show
that he is a most unworthy one to
bestow fayors upon within that

that it is not too late TO recall and

This is certainly asking very lit

protesting to hold by the doctrine
of separation OF Church and State,
demands the expulsion from their

Massachusetts. the state in which the
wOman's suffrage propaganda originated,
has a large and very active organization
OF men and women known as the "Associa-
ton Opposed to the Further Extension of
Suffrage to Women"
Like the Woman's Suffrage association,
this society sends out leaflets. reports, cir
culars and various other forms of litera-
ture in the effort to propagate its faith.
According to a recent publication of the
anti-woman's suffragists that cause has
during the last six years encountered no
less than sixty defeats in twenty-eight
states of our union.
In four states-Afinnesota, Delaware.
Louisiana and New York-there has been
limited suffrage granted to women for
certain. specific purposes. This report is
so different from those on the other side
OF the issue that we cannot without a
wider range of inquiry determine whether
the prospects of woman'ss suffrage have
improved or grown gloomy in the last six
years.
Both the suffragists and their opponents
appear to be satisfied with the outlook and
therefore we see no reason why those who
are not enlisted in either of these move
ments should worry over the matter
But, at any rate, il is certain that the
cause Of woman's suffrage has won many
notable victories in the last twenty years,
and six years is too short a period upon
which to base any valuable opinion of the
probability of the advance or decline of
this reform.
There are now four states. Colorado.
Idaho. Utah, and Wyoming. in which
women have full suffrage. Twenty years
ago there was only one, Colorado.
This is surely an advance. and a very
decided one.

to vote ever given in any form In the

DECLINED WITHOUT THANKS.

John Mitchell, president Of the United
Mine Workers. who are engaged in a
desperate struggle with the coal barons.
is a very determined man and one who
knows just what he wants.
President Mitchell is decidedly not in
sympathy with the scheme OF Governor
Stone of Pennsylvania, for the enactment
Of compulsory arbitration law and has
let the governor understand just how he
stands on that question.
Governor Stone has been talking OF
calling together the legislature Of Penn
sylvania for the purpose of passing law
that will compel the mine owners and the
mine workers to submit their differences
to a state board of arbitration whose de-
cision they would be bound to accept.
President Mitchell is an avowed and ar
dent advocate Of arbitration, but not OF
the kind that Governor Stone wants to put
upon him.
The mine workers have done their best
to bring about an arbitration of their
differences with the mine owners. 1t is
not their fault that the coal strike oc-
Cured and that II is still going on. The
strikers have made such a strong showing
y
pathy of the public is overwhelmingly
with them. The press and the pulpit con-
denim the greed and obstinacy Of the mine
owners that caused the strike and have
kept 1t up.
President Mitchell tells Governor Stone
that as much as he is in favor of arbitra-
ton. he does not propose to commit him
self or the labor organization he repre-
sents, 10 the principle of compulsory arbi-
tration.
The strikers do not care to leave the
settlement Of their case to a lot of oolit-
zeal arbitrators, whose decree they would
be forced by the state to accept.
Governor Stone expected the strikers
to jump at his proposition but they de-
tected the danger that lurked in it and
very promptly rejected 1t.
They believe that in such an arbitration
as the present state administration of
Pennsylvania would provide they would
have very little chance, and they are
probably right.

RAILINc AT Henderson.

From high and low, from far and near,
the storm of Republican wrath has burst
upon Speaker Henderson.
President Roosevelt has grown well nigh
hysterical over the matter, and shrieks
out that the stalwart scotchman. who has
hitherto been considered a fearless and
loyal champion of the party that has hon
ored him TO a signal degree. has played
the baby act.
Republican politicians and newspapers
Of all grades are pouring hot shot into the
man who was one of their heroes up to a
short time ago but whom many of them
now denounce as a marplot and a coward.
We think that his party associates have
good cause for their severe condemnation
Of Speaker Henderson's course. His with
drawal from the field at this time is re-
garded by the public as an evidence Of
weakness. and from the standpoint of the
Republican party IL is little better than
a retreat from the guns which were plac-
ed in HIS care on the faith that he was
4 brave and faithful soldier. There is but
one reasonable explanation Of the speak
er's conduct
II is that since the adjournment Of con-
gress, since the Republicans Of his dis
trict renominated him for congress, he has
seen indications that make the situation
and fits prospects disagreeable to him and
drive him to a retreat from 1t. His prof
fered explanation of a desire for rest
from public duties will not be accepted
as sufficient by even the most credulous
and most charitable.
The tender of such a fimsy excuse Is
unworthy OF the speaker. II might have
been considered sufficient IL IL had come
six months ago. Coming now. it is simp-
~ ridiculous, or worse. Speaker Hender-
son could hardly have done HIS party
greater damage than he has inflicted upon
II by the manner Of his flight from the
pending contest.
We cannot blame the Republicans for
their bitterness toward him for he has
certainly justified IL.
At the same time we welcome Il as
the best assurance OF the growing might
OF the Democracy, the best omen Of DEM
ocratic victory next November that has
yet appeared.

WILL HE DELIVER US?

Many persons are convinced that the
meat combine has been a blessing i'm dis
guise in that II has caused the people to
eat less meat and more vegetable food.
1t may be that the greedy and grasping
coal combine that is endeavoring to
starve out the miners Of the anthracite
region who are demanding their rights
win confer a benefit upon the public that
will far outweigh the extortion to which
1t has been subjected.
II the high price Of fuel for which these
INSCRIPTIONS coal barons are responsible
shall stimulate the search for a substitute
for anthracite and cause the discovery or
invention of some article that will serve
that purpose we shall have another nota-
BILE instance of good coming out of evil.
There are reports OF recent experiments
in fuel that seem to indicate decided sue
cess.
We referred few days ago to the mix
ture OF coke and bituminous coal dust that
Was tried by the commissioners of the
District Of Columbia with very promising
results. All that is claimed for this pro-
cess is very reasonable. but we read Of
another alleged discovery that, we fear,
is too good to be true.
1t would be delightful revolution that
would take US from an era of the highest
priced fuel we have ever known to one
in which fuel would be literally 'dirt
cheap" But a German chemist in Balti-
more insists that he will bestow this
boon upon us very soon. He claims that
he has discovered and about perfected
process of transmitting combustibility to
ordinary street dirt by chemical treatment,
and the result is brick produced by sub
jecting the mass to high pressure, which
burns with superior results as to light
and heat like the best anthracite. 1t is
not even affected by dampness, but burns
as readily when soaked in a bucket of wa
ter as when dry. In addition It has the
merit of producing neither odor. gas nor
smoke.
But the transcendant point in favor OF
dirt fuel is its marvellous cheapness.
The greatest cost is for the dirt. It is
claimed by the inventor that at $3.50 per
ton for the manufactured product enor-
nous profits would accrue to the capital
invested. Another phase of its economy
is the fact that when the Decentralization
Of the brick is exhausted by fire the ashes
or whatever remains Of the brick can be
rechemicalized and thus used over and
over again.
Unfortunately some difficulties stand in
the way of the practical application on
large scale of this great discovery. It
promises so much that sceptical mankind
will not give It sufficiently serious consid-
Grafton. This inventor who would relieve
the oppressed masses is a professional
man and has never associated with cold
blooded financiers. He is not known TO the
cold, practical world and does not know
how to proceed on his humane mission
of downing the coal trust. Nothing less
than a miracle would bring a substantial
backing to this apostle of cheap fuel. but
Il seems that nothing less than a mira
Gle can deliver US from the grip Of the
trusts

HRANrLEY,s GOOD GOSPEL.

We have had occasion frequently to
commend the wise action and counsel of
Hon. w. G. Brantley, who honors Geor-
gia as the representative in congress of
her eleventh district.
Only few days ago we commended his
clear and convincing exposure of the
weakness and delusiveness of President
Roosevelt's proposed plan of controlling
the trusts by the slow and uncertain
method of a constitutional amendment.
At the conclusion of that admirable IN
terview Mr.. Brantley made an abrupt de-
parture from his former line to say:
There Is a matter in which 1 feel a
more vital and immediate interest. 1t is
the building of good roads throughout the
state. If they were constructed generally
and the farmer in the country placed In
easy communication with the towns, his
financial condition would be more largely
improved than by any solution of the
trust evil, as it at present exists, that
could be invented or applied"
These are the words of practical
statesman and business man.
Mr.. Brantley has proved himself both
in the Georgia legislature. and the con-
gress Of the United States a man upon
whom his own district, his state and the
country at large can rely for the advoca-
cy of good principles, for adherence to
policies at once sound and progressive.
The record of this able young Geor-
gian indicates that there is a great future
in store for him.

HOME NEWS FROM AGAR.

Reckless misrepresentation of Amer
lean events and affairs and gross fabrica-
tions of alleged happenings in this coun-
try are of such frequent occurrence in
the French press that they have ceased
to provoke much comment when they
happen to come to the attention of Amer
lean readers.
The British newspapers, though often
inaccurate in their illusions to this coun-

as we find frequently in the French and

Dan to Beersheba. On this string of gems
we find several that are attributed to our
part of the world.
One claims to come direct from our own
city and looks quite startling to Atlanta
eyes, as the following transcript Of it
will show:
"A great tidal wave has destroyed a
great part of Atlanta, and done other
damage on the Mexican coast. The death
roll at present s So"
We confess to a feeling of indignation
when we first saw this account of the
partial destruction of the Invest city In
the south compressed into three lines,
hid in a drove of brief mentions" and
not even honored with a headline. This
account of the disaster to Atlanta was
evidently sent out by a correspondent in
some rival city who rejoices over the ter
r.1le blow that has befallen the fair me-
tropolis of Georgia. We suspect that the
miscreant is one o. the INSCRIPTIONS

an American correspondent Of the enter
prising Wiltshire Times, as ,.ie following
special will prove:

The gates of Chicago have never re-
ceived the attention tAey deserve, and we
hope that funerals have been resumed in
that city, unless deaths have ceased to
occur among it's two million people.

In the first of these paragraphs Presi-
dent Monroe declared that the govern
ments of Russia and Great Britain had
been informed "that the American conti-
nents, by the free and Independent condi-
tions which they have assumed and main
ed as subjects for future colonization by

The second paragraph asserted that the
United States would consider any attempt
on the part Of European powers to extend
their control to any portion of this hemis-
phere as dangerous to our peace and
safety. Any interference with the newly
formed independent American states by
European powers, the president asserted,
would be regarded as an evidence of I'M
friendliness toward this government.
The exact words in which these prin-
ciples were expressed are important.
1t is only wnen our rights are invaded
or seriously menaced that we resent in
juries or make preparations for our de-

With the movements in this hemisphere
we are Of necessity more Immediately con-

causes which must be obvious to all en-

political system of the allied powers is

that of America. This difference pro-

whole nation is devoted.
We owe it, therefore. to candor and the
amicable relations existing between the
United States and those powers to declare
that we should consider any attempt on
their part to extend their system TO any
portion of this hemisphere as dangerous
to our peace and safety.
With the existing colonies of dependen-
