JUDGE SHEFFIELD.

The announcement that Judge Il. q.
Sheffield will retire from the bench at
the close OF his present term OF Office
will be received with much interest
throughout this section OF the state.
Judge Sheffield Is one of the strongest
and most universally esteemed men
that ever presided over the courts OF
the Pataula circuit. With clear
grasp of all legal questions. honesty OF
purpose and the courage to impartislly
discharge the duties of his high posi-
ton, he has made a record that is
creditable to himself and an honor to
tne judiciary of Georgia.
The NEWS is sure it voices the
sentiment of all the people when 1t
tates that he will carry with him into
retirement the esteem and confidence
that every faithful public servant
deserves, and have their earnest
wish for a complete restoration to
health and many more years OF useful
life.

ENORMOUS EXPENDITURES.

The figures representing the bust
ness of the insurance companies of the
country are positively stupendous, il
not startling. They are almost beyond
the comprehension OF the average we'll
to-do citizen, whose transactions are
covered by a few hundred dollars a
year.
The three greatest mutual companies
have become the most powerful finan'
cial organizations in the world, having
q Joint income of some $3.50, 0OO,O 900 q
year. The straight" life insurance
companies of the United States are
pledged to pay about $l2, ZOO, 0O0, zoe to
several million policy holders during
the next half century or go, and they
are increasing this vast liability at the
rate of $4,000, 100000 a year; and, In
addition, there are more than eight
hundred fraternal orders, business as
sociations and the like insuring the
lives of their members and guarantee
ing to pay out another six billions.
All these organizations collect every
year some $500, 100000 from their poll
CIV holders, besides another $l0O, 600, OOO
of interest. and the like. 10 WORD,
their total income Is little larger
than. the income of the railroads OF
this country, and their receipts for
eighteen months would paw the United
States national debt.
This is a tremendous tax, indeed,
upon the resources Of the people. How
long can they carry such burden?

DEAD, YET ALIVE.

Governor Terrell has just had to
contend with one of those unusual
questions that occasionally bob up
and poster the executive mind.
So far as the records would Indicate
Lonnie L. Lanier OF Stillmore has
been dead and has come to life. Some
time ago Governor Terrell appointed
Mr.. Lapier to a scholarship at the
Augusta Medical College. Recently a
gentle man of Swainsboro wrote the
governor that Mr.. Lanier was dead,
and a request was made that the schol'
arship be given to Dcsaussure A
Smith, and this was done. DR.. Ford,
dean of the college, writes Governor
Terrell that Mr.. Lanier has appear
ed there and is very much alive. The
records assert that Mr.. Lanier is dead,
but both MIR. Lanier and Or. Ford
insist that the:records are mistaken
The governor was puzzled.
Investigation disclosed that the
error grew out of a report regarding
the death of another Mr.. Lanier, and
DR.. Ford was directed to concede that
Mr.. Lanier was alive and to take him

TOO MUCH TICKET.

In the recent state election the
superior court Judges ran ten thousand
votes behind the ticket, which is a
rather remarkable detection in view
of the fact that none OF them. had OPP
position.
The Atlanta Constitution offers in
explanation of this curious prank OF
the voters the opinion that many OF
them thought they were to vote only
for the Judge of their own circuit, and
scratched all of the others. This ls a
reflection on the intelligence of the
voters of Georgia that is net deserved.
Too much ticket was the. real cause OF
the big difference betweeni the vote
for Judges and the other candidates.
Most of the people have habit, and 1t
is AVERY good one, OF reading ticket
before they pass it on to the ballot
box, and the two-foot list OF candidates
that confronted them in the recent
election was more than they cared TO
take up their time with. The result
was they scratched the great array of
candidates whom they did not know
and In whom they had no special inter
est. This was frequently done at the
precinctin Dawson, and some who even
went to the polls for the purpose OF
voting left without doing so after see'
Ang the formidable piece of paper that
was to represent their suffrage.
The people of one section OF the state
do not care to be bothered with the
election of officers that are purely local
to another section, and it would be
well enough for the judges and solic-
itors-general to be elected by their
own circuits.

SENATOR HoAR's TRIBUTE.

Kindly of the late Senator Hoar OF
Massachusetts. They are no doubt
recalling the memorable words he
uttered in the evening of his lite OF his

"Although my life, politically and
personally. has been life of almost
constant strife with the leaders OF the
southern people, yet as grow older
have learned not only to respect and
esteem, but to love the great qualities
which belong to my fellow citizens OF
the southern states. They are noble
race. We may we'll take pattern from
them in some of the great virtues
which make up their strength as they
make up the glory of free states"

SECRETARY OF WAR TAFT
SPEAKS TO 5000 PEOPLE
Discusses the Kansas-Nebraska
Bill in Memorial Day Ad-
dress at Topeka.
ACT OF FIFTY YEARS AGO

Topeka, Kan, May 30.-Topeka was dec
grated II holiday attire to-day in honor Of
her semi-centenniai, and there were large
crowds here. Secretary of War Taft was
the orator of the day. He arrived in the
afternoon, and after riding at the head of a
parade In carriage with Governor Bailey.
was driven to the Auditorium. There Sec
rotary Taft was greeted by 5000 people and
delivered a patriotic address.
Secretary Taft said: 1T is fifty years to
a day since President Franklin Pierce
signed the Kansas Nebraska bill. We do
not mean to praise him, or the author of
the bill, Stephen A. Douglas. or those by
whose votes the bill was enacted into law.
Though our party pre1udiceS are mellowed
by half a century, and though now we can
take a more judicial view of the act, we
still find nothing in II which can reflect
credit on those who were responsible for
it's passage. The act involved a breach of
faith palpable that its beneficiaries and
supporters were embarrassed in its Defense
while its opponents, the anti-siavery men
OF the North, were reused 10 an indignation
of white heat by this deliberate breaking
of a compromise which for thirty years
had been thought TO be as sacred as the
provisions of the Constitution itself
If this be true, why do we commemor-
ate the event? Why is there gathered
here so much of the intelligence and pa
triotism of the great State of Kansas? We
rejoice to-day, too, in the fact that the
bill which enacted into law fifty years
ago, instead of accomplishing the purpose
of those who voted for ii, marks the be-
ginning of the end of the controversy
which eliminated from our social system
the cancer OF human slavery and permits
us as citizens of the United States to look
the world in the face when we proclaim
our national love of freedom and civil
liberty. The Kansas-Nebraska bill was
the last great step of the slave power be-
fore actual secession, which showed to a
n o,,b f11l
extremity which the institution of slav-
cry could bring its supporters, and it
aroused the North to a state of virtuous
excitement, which three decades of aboli-
ton propaganda had tailed to stir"
Governor Bailey entertained Secretary
Taft tonight at a dinner. Late in the
evening Secretary Taft, in company with
Governor Bailey, attended patriotic con-
cert at the Auditorium.
