GOOD ROADS AND TRANSPORTA-
TION.

One of the greatest of problems be-
fore the public is that of tI,ansporta-
ton. Somebody has taken the rather
pessimistic view that it is only ques-
ton of time before the country will
own the railroads, or the railroads
will own the country. This opinion
must have been formed before the adj
vent into popularity Of the automobile
and the development of the trolley
for other than short distance service.
There are reasons for thinking that
the situation is somewhat improved;
that there is now small danger of the
railroads owning the country, and one
great and increasing interest that is
being manifested in the permanent
improvement of the common highways
Good country roads are invaluable adj
juncts and feeders of railroads and
at the same time they may become a
means of defense against the greed Of
railroad corporations. The develop
ment of the horseless vehicle goes on
rapidly, and the time is not far dis
tant when the self-propelling car
riage and freight wagon will be with
in the reach of every progressive farm
er. Like the prices of sewing machines,
bicycles, reapers and other apparatus
that might be mentioned, the prices
of auto-vehicles are inevitably bound
to be reduced from their present high
1nNF
the machines will be even better than
those which now cost so much. That
is the way it was with sewing ma
chimes, as every farmer and household
er knows.
With good roads gridironing the
country and with auto-wagons capable
of making fast time carrying several
tons of freight, aeach progressive farm
er may become his own freighter to
and from the markets, and small cor
porations and individuals may operate
auto-vehicles for passengers, in COM
petition with the steam roads. And a
development of that kind would be
pretty apt to put an end to arbitrary
freight rates charged by the rail-
roads.
Every effort should be made to pro-
vide for the people of Georgia COM
plete system of permanently improved
common highways, covering the state
from the Blue Ridge to the Atlantic
and from the Chattahoochee to the Sa-
vannah. No investment that could be
made would prove more profitable, not
only in the saving OF great sums in
cost of transportation, but in improy-
ing the social and moral condition of
the people, After all, there is no sub
stitute for the common highway;
neither the steam road nor the trolley
can take its place.

THE BEvERIDGE MOVEMENT.

II is said there is a well defined
movement among the Republicans of
Indiana to make Senator Beverage the
nominee for Vice President on the
ticket with President Roosevelt. 1t is
not stated that the movement has the
approval of Mr.. Beverage. In fact,
the intimation is that he would prefer
to remain in the Senate. We can well
understand that he would rather be a
elected Vice President. If he should
be elected Vice President he would
have only one term in that Office and
his chances for other political honors
would be practically gone. MIR. Roose-
welt was nominated for Vice President
by the Republican bosses because it
was thought that if elected nothing
more would ever. be heard of him.
And it is probable that if President
Mckinley had lived that would have
been his fate.
Another reason doubtless why Mr..
Beverage prefers to remain in the
Senate is the pleasure it gives him to
hear his own voice in set speeches and
in debate. He believes. he is a great
orator, and it must be admitted that
he has some claim to being an orator.
but there is no doubt that his preten-
sions are much beyond his real merit
1t is given out that the President
favors Mr.. Beverage as a running
mate. Two reasons are given as to
why he does So. One is that as the
nominee for Vice President must come
from the West he does not see why
Mr. Beveridge wouldn't answer as well
as anybody, and the other is that as
he himself cannot take an active part
in the campaign-that is, take the road
and drum up votes by making speeches
and kissing babies-there ought to be
some one in the second place on the
ticket who could do that sort of work
If the President is correctly quoted he
thinks Mr.. Beveridge could do it ad-
mirably.
If Mr.. Beveridge should be nomnat-
ed and elected he would be much
missed in the Senate by Mr.. Bailey of
Texas. Mr.. Bailey and Mr.. Beveridge
are about the same age, and are full
of eloquence and high purposes. 1t Is
not strange therefore that they have
clashed. On one occasion, on the
floor of the Senate, they came near
having a smuggling match. 1t is proba-
BILE, however that they have adjusted
their differences, and that Mr.. Bailey
rejoices in the chance that Mr.. Bev-
eridge has of becoming Vice President
as much as Mr.. Beverage was graft
fled when Mr.. Bailey was mentioned in
connection with the presidential NOM
nation of the Democratic party.

Prof. ]. Stanley Grimes of Chicago
has a scheme which he thinks should
be enthusiastically welcomed by the
preachers. since it would enable them
to fill their churches at every service.
line the contribution boxes with gold
and bills and earn for the preachers
themselves long vacations every sum-
mer. Hypnotism is the thing for the
preachers, says Prof. Grimes; they
need it in their business. With it they
can convert the world; without it they
will continue their uphill work against
Old Nick. See John Alexander Dowie
and note his success, says Grimes
of Chicago. "Dowieism is i'm
pudence mixed with hypnotism. Dowie
is not even clever among intelligent
people; he is big man only among
those whom he has hypnotized."
Dowie is worth more than a million
dollars and has a following of several
thousand persons who believe that he
is a reincarnation of the Prophet Eli
jah. BY the use of hypnotism the Chi
cago man says almost any preacher
could do as well as Dowie has done.
The hypnotic art. Grimes says, is cas-
lily learned and may properly be used
In the pulpit, because the end sought
is high and and holy.

Prof. Curie OF Paris, the discoverer
of radium, has discovered a new pri-
mary element which he calls polonium.
AT first it was thought the substance
was related to bismuth, but recent in
vestigations have shown it to be a
primary element. In Berlin the other
day Prof. Markwald gave an exhibit
ion of the peculiar properties of polo
MUM. The powder, of which he had
only 15-100 of a grain, appeared as a
dark smudge on piece OF paper, yet
il intercepted a strong current of cleo
tricity passing through the air from
the generator TO the receiver, the air
oeasing to be conductor for the cleo
trical flashes. The room was then
darkened and pieces Of barium. pla-
tnum and zincblende placed near the
polonium glowed with a bright green
ish light The chemists who witnessed
the exhibition are said To have been
thrilled with establishment The
small quantity of polonium 80 far
produced has been at a rate Of cost OF
about s8.5OO,O00 q pound.

hours. 1t seems that some of the

ton to the Philadelphia mills.

 New York, Sept 29.--It was early to- day before the turmoil and disorder iA the Kings county republican conven- tion ceased and the work of naming T ticket was concluded. There was marked friction because of the inabll- ity of the conferees to give representa- ton on the ticket to all the elements of fusion, but the big battle of the night was over the nomination for dis trict attorney, prerogatiye of the Ter publicans. Timothy l.. Woodruff, Michael Dady and the other leaders had agreed that the place should go to George F. Elliott, but the convention was stampeded to Henry Belde4 Ketchum after contest on the floor that was at times so disorderly that police reserves had to charge through the aisles.
 The convention opened with the nom ination of a committee on conference to meet the other fusionist parties. The latter had long barley and when it returned to the hall it was aIl- nounced that the citizens union should name the candidates for borough pres ident and county clerk while the re- publicans should nominate the sherin and district attorney. J Edward Swanstrom was named for borough president and 1t was announced that if the citizens union failed to fill the nomination for county clerk the repub. licans would later do so.
 When Elliott was placed in nomina- ton for district attorney in conformity with the program the delegates r ceived his name in silence and mo- ment later began calling for Ketchum. The partisans of Norman s. Dike also began yelling for him. Woodruff. who was in the chair, endeavOred to restrain the unrJly clements, but the convention refused to heed to him.

HEALTH OFFICER BUSY

<
 The attention of HeaEuh effieer Kill martin having been called to rather surprising cases of skin.disease among several pupils Ut the Hendricken school by the principal, Miss Nellie
 !, allace, the healtl, officer paid "a visit to the school to-day and found that four or five pupils were afiicted with a skin disease known as ring worm. :.
 This disease IS very contagious. After making a thorough Inspection of the children Dr Kilmartin advised that they should be sent home and kept home uIrtn such time as they are com pletely cured of the disease. The health officer believes that the condi- ton existing among these children at the HendTicken school is one of several which would be found by close medi- cal insp pection of other schools. He is of the opinion that as protection for other children medical inspection of the pupils of uveTy school should be held at certain periods during the school year Iuais inspection is abso- lutely necessarg Aa assure protection against those coalta gious skin diseases which the ma jofity of children are not apt to come h1 colstact with at theik homes and other places It is only fair for such inspection should be held.
