Spirit of the Press
Who Will be the Chief Cook and Bot.
tie Washer When the President
Visits Atlanta?

Mrs w. H. FELTON, in Atlanta journal.
And President Roosevelt has pecu-
liar ideas of hospitality. AS president
and white house occupant, he owes as
much to the representatives of each
State as the whole country owes TO
him as chief executive.
The sovereign State of South Caro-
lima sent Hon. Benjamin Tillman to
Washington as United States Senator.
AS member of naval affairs committee,
not as the individual B. F. Tillman, an
invitation was issued to him to dine at
the White House to meet Prince Henry
of Prussia. The day this state din
ner was being prepared, while the
baked meats were hot and smoking
for the evening feast President Roose-
welt commanded the withdrawal of
Senator Tillmans invitation because of
his personal irritation against the Sem
atOr, and history fails to record a SIM
liar snub or slight to the representa-
tive of a sovereign state of this union
since 1875, or the day of our indie
pendence.
South Carolina is not likely to in
vite President Roosevelt to eat and
sleep there as the guest of the COM
monwealth, SO long as the colored
Doctor Crum is to be the "chief cook
and bottle washer" of Republican en-
tertainments given in honor of the
President.
If Alabama sends out an invitation
to the President it stands to reason
that he would prefer to eat in COM
pany with Booker Washington, whom
he entertained so conspicuously. Now
who will be "chief cook and bottle
washer" in the state capitol of
Georgia..

ROOSEVELT AND THE PRICE OF
COTTON.

Before the election the Republican
orators told the farmers that if
Roosevelt was reelected the price of
cotton would go up. 1t is said that a
few of the cotton farmers believed the
fairy tale and voted for the enemy of
Southern social conditions. Refer
ring to this an exchange says:
1.-The farmers who voted for Roose-
yelt with the expectation of getting a
good price for their cotton are get
ting mighty impatient. 1t has been
three weeks since the election and cot
ton has not yet advanced one cent"
There isn't farmer. who has brains
instead of straw in his head, who does
washington has nothing TO do with
the price of cotton. The only legisla-
ton that could help cotton would lie
such reduction in the tariff as would
enable countries desiring our cotton
to sell their products to Americans.
The tariff wall, by refusing to let us
swap cotton for something that we
need made in Europe, tends to hurt
cotton.
If President Roosevelt can fix the
price of cotton, he has shown his en-
nifty to cotton growers by putting it
up to II cents last spring when
the farmer had no cotton and putting
it below ten cents now that the far
mer has cotton to SELL Sensible lar
mers know that Roosevelt and his ad-
ministration has no effect upon he
price of cotton.
The farmer who votes for the pro-
tective tariff, which increases the
price of ell manufactured articles he
has to buy and does not add a cent 10
anything he has to sell, needs guard
ian appointed to take charge of his af-
fairs

CONSERVATISM.

The Wachovia Loan and Trust
Company has printed a neat pamnh
let containing the wise and sensible
president of the Wachovia Loan and
Trust Company before the American
Bankers Association in New York
city in September of this year. In
the publication is also embraced
some of the editorials of approval
from the more than one hundred
newspapers that commented favora-
bly, on the timely and needed address.
The liberal charters granted to trust
companies, necessary to cover all
cases that may arise under the vari-
Gus positions they may be called upon
to fill, is in part responsible for the
fact that the business of some trust
companies has become so general in
character and in some cases, so foreign
to its original purpose. At the close
of his address, which made a marked
impression upon the wise bankers
present ard ths ,.onservat tive business
men of the country, Colonel Fries
said:
1.-THE trust company was conceived
and organized to take the place of in
dividuals in those fiduciary relations
enumerated as executor, adnjnistra-
for, guardian, trustee, assignee, COM
lniitee or agent: it will be observed
that each and every one OF these is a
position of trust that is given or be-
slowed upon trust companies and
created either by an individual, a cor
poration or a court of equity: that the
duties incident to these positions COM
pei the trust company to labor for
and or. behalf of persons or corpora
tons. outside of the company itself;
that the character of the position is
such that the utmost good faith is re-
ouired and nothing inconsistent with
the duties assumed or adverse to the
interests involved would appear per-
MISSILE. Broadly speaking, the trust
company acts for others and not for
itself. 1t serves the interests it rep
resents, and gets it's compensation for
the services rendered. To engage,
therefore, in q business incompatible
with these relations would seem to be
foreign to the purposes for which 1t
wac intended.
Greater conservatism is certainly
nee eSSary to preserve the high char

steps might be wisely taken by this
trust company section to restrict the
business within certain lines aud GER

concerted effort on the part of it's
members, SO influence legislation that

THE SIMPLE LIFE.

The American people have given a
warm welcome to Rev. Charles Wag-
ner, the most noted living French
man. who is visiting this country. The
two greatest small books of this age
are THE Otherwise Man" by Henry
Van Dyke, and "The Simple Life" by
Charles Wagner. They ought to be in
every home and in every school.
BY special arrangement this pa
per has purchased the exclusive priv
ilege for this territory of printing
1.-The Simple Life" in these columns
There are fourteen brief chapters and
one will be printed every week until
the whole book has been given to our
readers. OF course it costs money to
give the story of 1.-THE Simple Life
to our readers but subscribers to
this paper are entitled to the best, if
it is within the reach of this papers
Docket-book.
THE Simple Life" will be greatly
enjoyed by every thoughtful reader Of
this paper, and enjoyed more by read
ing one chapter each Sunday than by
reading the whole book at a single
sitting. 1t is a book that has been
praised by great rulers and masters of
literature in every country, by mer-
chant kings and cultured women, by
writer's and laborers, for it has a les
son that is needed by every class in
this complex civilization which seems
to leave little time for ones doing
what would contribute most to ones
real happiness. The demands of bus
mess, of society, Of family, of church,
Of the diverse interests that claim
time and attention have robbed near
ly all of the younger generation of
time to think and rest and reflect. Life
seems like d journey-always on
rush to make connections and keep
up with fast schedules.
How can / get little time for old
fashioned recreation and reflection in
the midst of the business and social
and neighborly duties that sorely tax
me?" is the cry of this generation of
hurrying men and women. THE SIM
pie Life undertakes to answer that
question, and it does SO with a fresh
ness, and a power that have arrested
the attention and won the warm COM
mendation of the first men and women
of both continents.

Miss Vanderbilt a Poet.

Brains are blent with beauty and
bullion these days in more than one
of the multi-millionaire families. so
it is not as astonishing to find one of
the Vanderbilts a poet, as it might
have been a few decades ago. The
new daughter of the MUSES. is little
Gladys, who is acquiring finishing
touches across the Atlantic in prepara-
ton for her expected debut the COM
inc winter. She has written enough
verse to fill a small volume. and it Is
said her indulgent mamma will have
the collection published in an edition
de luxe, to be restricted rigidly to in
innate friends. Miss Vanderbilt, hc$v-
ever, has ambition above the mere en-
tertanment of her own circle. and
those familiar with the pretty child'S
determination saw she will write for
the public as soon as a season or two
shall have emancipated her from the
maternal leading-strings. Her early
efforts are mostly pastorals, but sew
eral are based on historical romances.
All of them show aptitude for facile
EXPRESSION.

AN IMPORTANT AND FAR-REACH-
ING DECISION.

We publish elsewhere the full text
of the opinion of the Supreme Court,
written by Chief Justice Clark, in the
most important railroad case that has
come before the court in long time.
It involved the very heart of the law
forbidding any discrimination in
rates by railroads The question
came up in a guise that looked the
least Objectionable of all the meth
DDS of Determinations that have been
adopted. But the court looked to
the root of the matter and upheld
the law If discrimination of any
kind is allowed, the principle is des-
troyed.
Ordinarily, Supreme Court decis-
ions are interesting only to lawyers,
but this opinion will be interesting
as we'll to laymen for the Chief JUS
tice has drawn upon recent history
to show how discrimination in freight
rates has built up the more gigantic
of trusts and has enriched the reason
ing of the law with facts and figures
that should be widely read.
High railroad freight rates are
great burdens on business; discrim-
ination in rates is to give railroads
the power to kill and make alive.
The court does we'll to put its foot
down on any attempt to permit any
shadow of discrimination. If it should
permit crack, some railroad would
push the gate wide open.
