Exactly Opposite In Rome.

with Rome the exact opposite occurred.
The imperial city rose to absolute domin-
Ion over all the peoples of Italy and then
expanded her rule over the entire civilized
world by process which kept the nation
strong and united, but gave no room
whatever for local liberty and self-gov-
eminent. All other cities and countries
were subject to Rome. In consequence
this great and masterful race of warriors
rulers, road-builders and administrators
stamped their indelible impress upon all
the after life of our race and yet let an
over Capitalization eat out the vitals OF
their empire until 1t became an empty
shell; SO that when the barbarians came
they destroyed only what had already
become worthless to the world
The underlying viciousness of each
type of expansion was plain enough and
the remedy now seems simple enough
But when the fathers of the republic first
formulated the constitution under which
we live this remedy was untried and no
one could foretell how 1t would work
They themselves began the experiment al
most Immediately by adding new states
to the original thirteen. Excellent people
In the east viewed this initial expansion
of the country with great alarm. Exactly
as during the colonial period many good
people in the mother-country thought 1t
highly important that settlers should be
kept out of the Ohio valley in the interest
of the fur companies SO after We had be-
come a nation many good people on the
Atlantic coast felt grave apprehension lest
they might somehow be hurt by. the west
ward growth of the nation. These good
people shook their heads over the forma-
ton of states in the fertile Ohio valley
which now forms part of the heart of our
nation; and they declared that the de-
struction of the republic had been ac-
complished when through the Louisiana
Purchase, we acquired nearly half of
what is now that same republics present
territory. Nor was their feeling unnatur-
al. Only the adventurous and the far
seeing can be expected heartily to well
come the process of expansion, for the ma
ton that expands Is a nation which is
entering upon a great career, and with
greatness there must of necessity come
perils which daunt all save the most
stout hearted

POLICE WOULDN'T ARREST
WITHOUT WARRANT
EdGefeId Citizen Wanted to Find
Negro Runaways.

EdGeheId Citizen Wanted to Find
Negro Runaways.
Claiming to be the guardian of two
16-year-old negroes, and armed with a
document to prove his assertion, a
white resident of Edgefield, S. c.,
reached Savannah yesterday in search
of his wards who have given him the
shake.
Expressing a willingness to pay any
charges that might be made the man
called upon the superintendent of
police last night and invoked his aid.
He received a cold deal, however,
when the police chief drew from him
the facts in the case, and was prompt
ly told that there was nothing doing"
The Edgefield man was also warned
that in the event he arrested the lads
himself he was likely to get into
trouble.
He said the boys are cousins and
that one worked on his place and the
other on neighboring farm. His
contention was that they had stolen S.
and skipped, and he asked for their
arrest on a charge of larceny. He
had no warrant, however. and his
chief desire appeared to be to get
hold of the runaways so that he could
take them back to the farm The
police refused to be- a party to the
playing of any such game and the
Edgefield citizen left police headquar-
ters seemingly not at all pleased.

MILLEDGEVILLE ASYLUM
OR BACK TO GREECE.
Fruit Man Who Went Insane
Preached Greek Sermon.

Preached Greek Sermon.
By a verdict rendered yesterday aft
ernoon, by jury in the Court of Or
binary, Nicholas Angeles, a Greek,
who recently lost his mind, will either
become an inmate of the asylum at
Milledgeville or be sent to his native
land.
At the trial the services of George
Caurellas, secretary of the Greek col
ony, had to be secured as interpreter.
Angeles preached q sermon to the jury
that passed upon the question of his
sanity and crossed himself repeatedly
as the Greek prayers were offered.
While in Jail he tore the clothes from
his back and has been violent almost
continually since his confinement.
1t was shown at the investigation
that Angeles was proprietor of a fruit
stand ON Broughton street and had
been doing very well. His wife and
children are in his native land and he
has not seen them in fifteen years. He
recently received a letter from bis
wife and the contents preyed upon his
mind. The jury recommended that
Caurellas be appointed the unfortu-
nate mans guardian and that an eff
fort be made to have him sent to
Greece at once, and that if this cam
not be arranged that he be confined in
the asylum at MilledgeVille.

WILL TRY AND GET
NATIONAL CONVENTION.
Mayor Myers FavOrs Inviting Drum
mers to savannah.

mers to Savannah.
AS first announced in the Morning
News an effort will be made to have
the national convention of the TRAY
elers' Protective Association held in
Savannah in 1905. Work in this di-
rection has already been started.
If the movement secures the proper
encouragement, and there seems to be
no reason why it shouldn't, the men,
bers of Post A are confident the con-
ventiOn can be secured. Mr.. Joseph
LovensM ,in is active in the matter
and has already interested quite a
number in the plan to get the con-
ventiOn.
The%natter has been brought to the
attention of Mayor Myers and he will
bring the question up before Council.
If the city takes hand in the move
ment, one or two representatives will
be sent to the convention to be held at
Indianapolis in June. As was stated
in the Morning News Sunday it will
require a large sum of money to get
the convention, but Mr.. Lovenstein
says that the city will be repaid.
There are no better advertisers on
earth than the drummers and it is
agreed that the convention is worth
fighting for. The trade bodies have
also been written to on the subject
and it is altogether likely that a fight
will be made for Savannah at the
meeting in Indianapolis, it being nee
essary to get to work two years in
advance.

MATTERS BEFORE COUNCIL.
Matter of Putting Experts on Books
May Be Discussed.

While the caucus of City Council will
probably be interesting tonight I'M
less there are developments to-day the
open session promises to be a rather
tame proceeding. The resignation of
William P. Bailey as clerk will be reg
ularly accepted and an election to fill
the vacancy will be ordered for the
next meeting, two weeks from date.
Mayor Myers stated yesterday that
the expert who is at work on the Po-
ice Court books will not be able to
have his report ready for Council at
this meeting. The matter is certain,
however, to be discussed in caucus
and there will probably be suggestions
from aldermen, on the subject of hav-
ing all of the books of the city gone
over by an expert. At the same time
some plan, to be adopted later, will
probably be offered for a complete
change in the manner of auditing the
books of the city. 1t is not expected
that the open session will last a great
while.

MUSIC IN THE PARKS.
Many People Interested in the Cues
ton Soon to- Come Up.


ton Soon to- Come I'D.
AS the summer approaches and the
people begin to figure what to do in
the way of recreation and pleasure.
during the long evenings, there is
much discussion as to the probable at
titude of City Council when the matter
of music in Forsyth Park is consider
ed. Naturally it has not yet been
brought up, but probably will be be-
fore very long, by petition or other
wise. 1t will then be the province
of Council to act, and with the sue
cess of last seasons concerts in mind
there seems good reason to expect
favorable verdict.
In Northern cities the free concerts
in the parks are considered well
worth the cost, and it is no small
amount for the best organizations are
employed and they have to play fine
music to hold their contracts. The
expenditure is found to be money well
used, for there is no estimating the
benefit of these entertainments to
those who cannot afford or do not
wish to attend the concerts, theaters,
etc. There is no place in the world
where the people work harder than
in New York, but when the Gays
work is done the people must have
amusement or else they may do
worse. Here there is no great danger
of the people behaving badly if the
concerts are not given, but with the
concerts there will be a great many
people better satisfied. The announce
ment that the city is so progressive
as to encourage music and take an in
terest in the entertainment of its peo-
pie will alone be we'll worth the price
of the summers concerts.

MOTHER PINES FOR SON
WHO Is SUFFERING.
Pittsburg Police Chief Asked to
Aid Savannah Woman.

Claiming that her minor son is being
guarded. along with other workmen,
near Pittsburg, Pa, and fearing that
he will either be killed, or die from ex-
posture, Mrs. NJ. E. Martin of No. 22S
Habersham street has invoked the aid
of the superintendent of police.
Her letter to the head of the police
department is on the whole a rather
pathetic document and was last night
forwarded by supt. Garfunkel to the
Chief of Police of Pittsburg with a re-
quest that assistance be rendered the
young man. In her letter to the Sa-
vannah police chief, Mrs. Martin says
that she received a letter a day or two
since, and that her sons life is in great
danger.
MY son was at Portsmouth, she
writes, land a representative of the
American Bridge Company met him
while engaged in securing hands. This
man told my son, and the others, that
there was no strike on and he agreed to
go. When he arrived at Pittsburg he
was taken with others to a boat house
and has had to be guarded all the time.
He is under age and suffers very much
from rheumatism, and since being there
he has at times been unable to walk.
He writes me that he has had to stay
in damp places without medical atten-
ton.
He is a minor and I hope you will be
so kind as to write the chief of police
at Pittsburg and ask him to send an
officer and take my boy from those peo-
pie, so that he can get back home. We
are we'll known in Atlanta and Column
bus, and your influence with the Pitts
burg chief would do what request
from me could never accomplish.
Please, dear sir, aid me in this. Those
people should be made to pay my boys
fare back to Portsmouth and then he
could get home some way. 1 will be so
very grateful if you help me get my
boy back"
