FAILURE IN TIE PHILIPPINES.

The London Daily Mail publish
es the first Of series of letters
from Percival Ladon, special cor
respondent at Manila, showing
American failure in the Philip
pines. Ladon declares that the
American campaign has made no
impression in the islands, that the
firing line is extensive with the
coast line and feeling of utter
insecurity prevails at headquar-
tiers. The correspondent asserts
that in the country is depending
entirely upon agriculture for pros
perity, the land is being largely
abandoned. He says it is time
for the United States to decide
whether there might be a recon-
sideration Of its policy in the past
few years.

Are not the facilities between
north and south Georgia already
amply sufficient? There are al
ready three or four such lines in
operation between Georgia sea-
ports and northern country
points while others are in course
of construction. An extension of
the w. IL A. to the sea would not
help a particle so far as the in
land points and Pacific ports are
concerned because the states road
being short independent line
would not receive merchandise
from the great systems whose
notifications extend all over the
country and which would ship
over their own lines In and throuk b
Georgia. Goods sent from Chica-
go to New York to be shipped by
sea to Georgia would have to pay
freight on 1000 miles by rail be-
sides the water rate which would
make the cost about double what
it would be by the 700 miles Of
railway transportation from Chica-
go to Atlanta direct.
The bulk of the business of the
w. q A. comes from inland points
in the United States. What it
and It's extension would receive
from seaports would hardly pay
operating expenses. Besides there
would be the enormous cost of
building the extension. If con-
victs should be used the state
would lose their hire and be sub
jected to the huge expense of
maintaining and guarding them.
Whatever method might be adopt
ed to build this extension would
mean greatly increased taxation.
But if the l. & n. is to use the
W. q A. from Dalton it might
not be to the interest of Marietta
and of all other towns on the A.
K. d n. to sell the w. & A. The
l.. & N. should be made to place
in first class order the A. K. & N.
and to extend it to Atlanta. The
w. q A. cannot do the business
of that line and of the A. X. & N.
without being double tracked and
this the iessees will not do unless
they can buy the W. & A.
| spoke in my last article of the
practicability of the Southern IS
building from Rome to Gadsden
and Huntsville so as to have a
short and direct line from Atlanta
to Memphis A better route
would be from Rome to Gunters-
vile, Ala, and from .Guntersville,
to Decatur. From Guntersville
tosDecatur would be all the way
on level land by the side of the
Tennessee river, and would short

We were one in thought. one in life and one in every thing. My one ambition In life was tp please him." Yes. I think your answer is correct. The relations between a hus- band and a wife were so close that you were one, and your one desire was to live for him and to please him. Now, my sis- ter bereft of her husband, when you reach heaven and meet the long sepa~ rated father of your babies. do you not feel he will be pleased to know how you have worked and shaved for his flesh and blood? When you reach heaven will you not be rich in the knowledge that he ap- preciates all you have done for your children and his? When one of my aunta n widow-was dying she looked up at those gathered about her bedside and said: Now, l hope your father, Steven. will be satisfied with what 1 have done for his children Yes. yes, woman. youe husband will truly be satisfied You have done your task well. It has been as hard journey to travel alone, but at tho end of the journey you will be rich in his blessing as we'll as that of your Say, ious, the dear Christ.
 Most of us know what the rapture O an earthly reunion means, but such q welcome will pale into insignificance be- fore the heavenly embrace of a risen fa- ther and q long separated wife. After the famous battle of Five Forks Gen. George E. Pickett of Gettysburg fame was reported to have been killed. Day after day his wife sat with her baby m her arms in the silence or despair. But one day there rode up the lane of the Virginia home a familiar figure. He cried to his horse: Whoa, Lueyl Whoar
 With that the mother. with a wild cry

The truest way for you to be true to your dead husband Is for you to be true to the noble tasks God has given to you to do here. Remember that Christ knows all about a widows troubles He sympathized with the sorrowing widow of Main. In. his great heart there is sym pathy for all who struggle and suffer and the divine help and consolation are never more generously bestowed than unon those who bear that heaviest of human bereavement-widow This love and all the blessings it brings will make you rich indeed.

 Certainty of Gods Promises.
 The consecrated widow is rich because she has been able by personal experience to prove the certainty and faithfuness of Gods promises life boat is some times used as a pleasure craft along the shores of Massachusetts and Long ls- land. You can see the fisherman take and rig in It a small sail and go spinning over the waters, while they laugh and joke as they draw in the bluefish or the shad. So people sometimes use the gos- pel life boat merely for a pleasure craft. When the sky Is clear and the sea smooth they set sail for a frolic. But, oh' my friends. the life boat is far different craft when on stormy night the He saving men launch 1t into the surf to fight their way out to the ship aground in the offing where 1t s being shattered to pieces by the ceaseless bombardments of the mighty seas. And the promises or God, out of which the gospel life boat is made, mean far more to widowed mariner sailing the seas of life alone than they do to the young daughter who has always been shielded from every storm And yet, mother. l would ask you a pertinent question. which l know you will answer well. Though you may have buried your husband many years ago. was there ever time when if you trusted in God his love and protection and care failed you? Was there ever q time when Christ was not willing to stand by the cradle of your living child as in olden times he once stood by the bier of one who was the only son of his mother, and she was a widow.
