A RELIGIOUS TRUST.

A combination of all of the Metho-
dist publishing houses in the country
has been proposed. BY merging the
several houses into one gigantic con-
Germ, it is urged, the business could be
made more profitable to the church.
The number of employees could be re-
duced, salaries could be shaved, long
credits could be denied. and the bust
ness be put on a more modern, business
like footing. The promoters of the
scheme point to the fact that the ten
dency of all business is towards con-
solidation or combination. hence it
would be a good idea for the Methodist
publishing concerns to follow along
similar lines. BY cheapening the
cost of production, it is argued. the
output of literature could be increased,
to the benefit of the church.
Against this proposition, however,
some vigorous protests are heard.
There is too much of commercialism
about it to suit some of the preach
ers who are firmly grounded in the
belief that it is the function of the
church to spread the gospel, and not
to engage in trade of any sort for
profit. Consolidation and a reduction
of expenses would mean the throwing
out of employment of a number of
| faithful employees, some of whom have
grown old in the publishing houses to
which they are attached. Scaling sala-
ries, none of which is now princely,
! has about it an unpleasant suggestion
of grinding materialism. That sort of
| thing may do well enough for soul
| less corporations" but the Methodist
| Church is a corporation with a soul.
1t stands for something higher and
better than organizing a manufacture
ing establishment upon lines promising
the greatest profits for the least eX-
pense. The professors are led by the
| Rev. DR.. DowneY of Brooklyn, and
they promise to make the fight against
the proposed trust a warm and inter-
J esting one.
Should the combination be finally eff
fected it would create one of the larg-
est book publishing concerns in the
world, and would have a capitalization
| of $4,000 600 to $40 600 900.

HAIR AND INTELLECTUALLY.

The women Of the country will have
a crow to pick with DIR. H. w.
Wiley of the Agricultural Department,
Washington, when they have read his
latest deliverance, alleged to be based
on scientific observation. Tee doctor
has been abroad on a vacation. While
on the other side he combined study
with recreation and brought back with
him some interesting, If not entirely
new, ideas. One of these is that the
Anglo Saxon race is destined to become
hairless and toothless; that is, the men
grinders. With regard to the women,
that is another matter altogether, ac-
cording to the learned doctor. He says:
MANS brain is growing and takes nu-
triment from the hair, which falls out,
and, consequently, is growing less
abundant year by year. Now, you
take a woman. Woman still has long
hair, but that's because woman is still
a savage. Notice how fond she is Of
gaudy colors. Her brain hasn't the ca

our health foods are so cooked and
prepared that we don't have to chew
them. AS soon as an organ is not used
we loose it. This is inevitable
1t has passed into a proverb that a
woman's glory is her hair; and now
comes this scientific expert with the
assertion that her browning pride is a
badge of mental inferiority! Meas
ured by DR.. Wiley's standard, the front
row at the ballet ought to be an oggre-
cation of intellectual giants, while the
long-haired gentlemen who deliver lee
lures and sermons, who write poetry
ana play pianos and fiddles, are men
tai children by comparison. We won
der if DIR. Wiley would tell Nine. Curie,
one of the discoveries of radium, or
Ellen Terry, or any one of the gifted
women who are writing books, that she
must be bald-headed before she can
hope to be considered the intellectual
equal of the gentleman of the polished
poll?
AS to the charge that savagery is
shown by woman's fondness for bright
colors, we disagree with the doctor.
Woman decorates herself with colors
and frills and flounces not so much be-
cause of her own fancy for those things
as that the men like them. Instinct
lively she strives to make herself as at
tractive as possible to the opposite sex
knowing that bright-colored ribbons
will take the eye of the savage, man
just as the feather-d ecked hook takes
the eye of the trout, she ties bows
and flies streamers. Decoration of the
feminine person is an art, and woman
is an artist. Her success in the ma.
nipulation, matching and blending OF
textiles and colors so that, herself in
cluded, the whole makes glorious har.
mony, is one of the highest achieve
ments of civilization. Let DR.. Wiley

of last week a tired and weak woman,
leading three little children, applied at
a police station for the shelter of a
Migrants cell. The woman said she
and the children had lived on the
streets for three days and nights, sub
sisting on the scraps they could pick
up. Her husband was a good man,
and provided for her when he had
work, but he had been out of employ
ment for more than a month on ac-
count of a strike. Gradually all Of
their money had given out, then the
furniture went for food and after a
time their scanty store of extra clothes
Then the rent fell due. They couldn't
pay, and they were dispossessed; turn
ed into the streets, without food or
shelter. The woman was hollow-cheek-
ed and wan, and the sunken and lus-
terless eyes Of the children plainly told
of their sufferings from hunger and
exposure. The woman was fed by the
police and the children were taken to
a founding asylum temporarily. That
is what the strike did for one family.
Here is what it did for another:
Thomas Gowan, white, was arraigned
before a police magistrate, in the same
city, on a charge of stealing door knobs
There were tears on his cheeks when
he confessed the theft and told why he
had stolen. II can't get work." he said.
Il am on a strike and the union has
told me to stay out. When l went
home last night 1 found my children
crying for food and my wife so weak
she could hardly walk. In order to
save them from starving 1 stole the
knobs, hoping to sell them" Investi-
CATION proved the mans story true.
The magistrates sympathy was arous-
ed and he told Gowan that he might
go, but he must not steal again. But
what is the man to do? The strike
is his master; it has little sympathy
for the hunger of women and chill
dren; if Gowan were to get a job at
his trade of teamster and endeavor to
earn bread for his family, he would
be under the ban of the strike and
might suffer even bodily harm.
0, the pity of it, that there is not
some means at hand for the speedy
and permanent settlement of labor
troubles, and for the protection of wom-
en- and little children from the terrors
of the strike!

There is a young clergyman near Ha-
gerstown, Md, says the Baltimore Sun,
who might be excused for saying the
guiIelessness of some rural gentry
passeth all understanding" He would
probably deny it should you ask him,
but he would not deny the following
story, told by a relative:
"A young couple with matrimonial
intent, fresh from the green fields OF
their rural homes, went recently to
the parsonage of the clergyman in
question. The nuptial knot was tied.
In the pause which followed the newly
made Benedict looked even more en-
barrassed than before. He fished about
in his trousers pocket as If looking
for something.
whats the price," he finally blurt-
ed out.
1.-The state allows me a dollar" said
the clergyman, but" and paused.
Some pauses are more eloquent than
words. Evidently this was not.
"Well" finally remarked the groom
as he handed the astonished divine a
quarter, IF the state allows you a
dollar, take this and the job will have
netted you dollar and a quarter.
Good day"

Admiral Watson always prohibited
swearing on the vessel where he hap
pened to be, says the New York Times,
and if any luckiess officer enforced an
order from the bridge with an oath he
was called upon for a private inter-
view with his superior. But another
matter in his squadron troubled the
Admiral. His was the flagship, and
vet her men were sometimes the last
to finish the execution of a command
or to carry out u maneuver. One day,
when the seamen were behind in get
ting down from the rigging, he called
the captain to hiw
why is it," he asked, that here on
the flagship where we ought to be
the quickest, the men are behind the
other ships?"
While the officer was seeking for an
inoffensive reply a volley of oaths came
floating across the water from the cap
tain of the nearest ship.
"Well you see, Admiral, our men
don't get the right kind of encourage
ment sir"

WHOM THE STRIKE STRIKES.

The strike is a cruel master, and the
cruelty falls heaviest upon the inno-
cent and helpless. Suffering and sor-
row almost invariably accompany
every strike that continues for any
length Of time. There are few work
ingmen's families that can stand the
strain of several weeks or several
months absence Of income. The ma
jority of those who labor with their
hands are dependent on their daily in
comes for subsistence. so that when
the income stops it is not a great while
before the wolf begins to peek in at
the door. The public does not often
see the seamy side OF the life OF those
who are idle because Of strikes. What
is seen is the paiade. and what is
heard is the voice Of the parties TO
the controversy, each trying 10 Justify

The Savannah morning news., 1903-09-20
WHEN IS A MAN RICH.

Riches and poverty are. Of course.
merely relative terms: yet 1t is inter-
esting in this day of great fortunes
to speculate upon the question, when
is a man rich?" In a New York club
the other evening, when a number
of members had gathered into group
after a good dinner, and, being In
philosophical mood, were inclined to
take up abstract propositions. the
question quoted was propounded.
Every man had ready an answer to
the query, but oddly enough, no two
answers were alike. There were prac-
tically as many opinions as to what
constitutes riches as there were men
present And no doubt every one
of them was right. individuality and
environments must be taken into con-
sideration in connection with the ques-
ton. What one man would consider
riches when possessed by himself
would be thought poverty by another.
In New York city a man Is not count
ed to be rich unless he has at least
81 900 coo; in smaller communities one
may be rich If he has $50, 900. Yet
not every man who is the possessor of
81, O0O, 600 is really rich: the man with
$4,000 may be far richer, even In
New York. The millionaire may have
his wealth invested in such manner
that he is under q perpetual mental
strain. His money may take wings and
fly away in a week or a day. AT
night his rest is broken by anxiety
lest his investments prove Improbable
or disastrous. Such a man is not rich.
He is poorer than the farmer who
tolls with his hands by day but lies
down to a bed of rest and peace at
night.
There is such a thing as being prop
erty poor" In the South we all know
of men whom we call land poor"
They own thousands of acres Of fine
lands, yet they find it difficult to pay
the taxes on them. 1t is often the same
with other classes Of property. one
may be possessed of property of a
paper value of large sums, and yet that
property may bring no returns to its
owner.
Wealth is a matter Of personality
and sentiment, as we'll as of environ
ment. Mr.. Rockefeller could never
count himself rich man, because
wealth does not bring him health and
contentment His ambition to make
more, and still more money is insau-
able. He is worth more than thous-
and millions of dollars. yet he is as
eager for another dollar as if he were
penniless. There isn't money enough
in the world to make such "A man rich.
BY way OF contrast we have i'll mind
an honest and energetic German gentle
man who came to Savannah some
twenty-five or thirty years ago, and by
hard work accumulated a little fortune
of some $4,000. That gentleman has
now retired from business, having ac-
cumulated all that he considers he will
need for the pleasure and comfort of
himself and family. He has good
wife and several children, and each
member of the family is devoted to all
of the others. Having health, love and
a competency, and the respect of his
acquaintances, we regard that man as
being rich: far richer than the man
who has a hundred times as much
money but nothing else.

The genesis of cancer is one of the
problems of the age. Why is there such
a disease and from what does it orig
mate? Patient research and most pro-
found thought have failed to supply
an adequate answer. An expert bac-
teriologist once had his theory, and he
was employed by the government at
an expense of $3.50, 900 to seek the cause
of the disease. Upon the conclusion Of
his investigation he very frankly de-
clared that he had exploded his the
DRY and that he knew less about the
origin of cancer than he had before
he began. DIR. Alfred Wolff has just
emerged from the sea of this mystery
after a dive into its depths. He as
cribcs cancer to the excessive use of
alcoholic beverages, citing the mortali-
ty rates from cancer in countries
wherein the use of such liquids is gem
eral to prove that peoples that are
more abstemious owe their comparative
immunity from the disease to their in
diligence in milder drinks. DR.. Wolff
holds, moreover, that cancer is con-
tagious. Habit and environment, in
his opinion, have more to do with the
transmission of the disease than race
or heredity.

If there is the slightest doubt in the

the fact that a rabbit innoculated with
the germs became bald in six weeks

Late Supper.

for the night at the club, which had
in the meantime become extremely

at an early hour, when all was quiet

in the night he slept through it.

Following the heavy rains, that
wrought such damage to the cotton
crop in this section, came the cool
weather to retard growth. When some
untoward circumstance of weather or
bug befalls cotton, there is always COM
pensation for the planter in the thought
that the less cotton there is the high
er the price will be.
