 General Ainsworrh, the military sec retary, has discontinued the practice of forwarding mail in bulk sent to his office for distribution to army officers on the ground that the practice has grown to such proportions that it in terferes with the regular business of the office. It has become habit with some business firms desiring to send circulars and advertising matter gen orally to army officers to address them "Care of the War Department" in q single package, leaving it for the de- ,partment officials to supply the cor rect addresses and forward the mail. This work usually occupied a number of clerks for several hours. Hereafter packages of that character will be re- turned to the sender with the state ment that the correct addresses of the officers of the army can be obtained in the army directery.u It is understood that the same rule will be applied to wedding invitations and announce ments forwarded to the war depart ment in bulk for distribution to army officers.

ROOSEVELT AFTER 1909.

There is bad impression about that ex-presidents should bury themselves III retirement, and people have even thought of making special berth for them as life senators, as if their own states could not send them to the se- ate. But we have had one radiant ex- ample of the contrary policy. When John Quincy Adams retired from the presidency he consented to go to the lower house of congress, and there he did magnificent service. to his own in- finite honor and that of his country. He was the spokesman of liberty and the right of petition against the bit terest assaults of the defenders of slavery. We most sincerely hope that on the expiration of his term Nh Roosevelt will recall John Quincy Ad- amss example. If his successor wants him in the cabinet, or would make him a foreign ambassador, or if his state would send him to the senate, or his district to the house, it would be to their honor and his honor to accept. At the age of 50 he will yet have twen- ty-f1ve years of active life before him. He may again. after a space, be chosen president: but the last thing the country should expect of him is that he hide himself at Oyster Bay and grow cabbages. or even that he devote himself to the memoirs of his life. 1t Is better that historians thirty years later take up that service.-Indepen- dent.

The reason that taxpaying is a

The reason that taxpaying is an agreeable duty, a pronounced pleasure is that it is, at best, but a meagea compensation for innumeraDle general and special advantages. The man who finds taxpaying uncongeniai has hard ly the state of mind or soul to apprer ciate his possessions, says an ex- change, even when they are greater than his neighbor's. There should be a law that, if 3, person grumble about taxes, his property should be confis- cated to the citizen who would be most gratified to give a percentage of his profits to the government. This law would be the better if it would con. tain a provision that taxpayer should not depart for foreign home after is' suing his tax-payment check, without mourning a penalty, say, of disfran, chisement.

The Yiddish struggler, seeking the, land of freedom, merely changed oppressions-from the political tyran- ny of Russia to the industrial tyranny of America. The former deprived him of his rights, the latter took his life. To-day the sweat shop and the task system, as they were known a few years ago, have utterly disappeared, and the chief influence in effecting this reform has been trade union organiza- tion. The Garment Workers union grew in usefulness and power, but, succumbing to the weakness of human nature, it sometimes abused that power. There appeared the usual ten dencies to monopolize labor, to raise wages inordinately, and to practice many sorts of restrictions. The pro- test, then the action, of the employers followed, the principle of the .'open shop was declared and enforced, and the union struck. Under favorable conditions, in spite of the heroic sacrl. ice and devotion of the garment work CTS, the strike failed. There were many to fill every vacant place.

The. equipment of number of ranges for rifle practice at 800 to 1,500 yards can be secured only by govern ment appropriation, Work with the Schuetzen rifiescan be carried on over private ranges up to 200 yards. but proficiency with the military rife can be obtained only by practice at the longer ranges in kneeling or prone position. To procure tract of land for this purpose with proper back-stops, butts. targets, etc. within such req sonable distance of 2 large city as to admit of practice by civilians on Sat urday afternoons and holidays, re- quires the expenditure of more money. than rife clubs can afford. Practice with the long range weapon is what the government desires from it's citi- zens, and it is therefore proper the government should furnish the weap- ons and the ranges. A few million dollars would provide every state with number of ranges accessible to those who desire to familiarize themselves with the modern military rife. Con- gross can we'll afford to encourage sport which trains the citizen soldieEy in long-range shooting, even if few creeks are left unimproved in the back country. one-sixth of one per cent of the annual expenditures syf the ooyerr- ment, if the plans of the national board for the promotion of rife practice are followed, will provide the country with asnational marksman's reserve of one million men within five years and af- ford one million male citizens sport and recreation of a highly beneficial character. Congress cannot afford to be niggardly on such proposition.

NEW YORK FASHIONS Patterns For Lady's Costume Designed by

Eton and boiero Jackets are greatly in demand and are made up for the smart est kind of wear. Their popularity is not far to seek. for they are becoming to both the slight woman and her sstouter sister. Then, too. they are so simple and easy to make-not much more work than an ordinary shirt waist. They are cer- tainiy the most successful coats the home dressfnalser has had to deal with in a long time. Tn this model the coat is cut with long shoulder extending over the sleeve in cap effect. This gives q decid- edly quaint air to the garment besides lengthening the shoulder line. The front comes we'll down in pointed tab effect and may be worn with or without a fancy vest. The skirt is . new seven gore flare style. having the front finished by three backward turning tucks which form a panel.

MONEY TO LEND.

The statement given out by
State Treasurer Park, who is state
bank examiner, that the state
banks are in an excellent condi-
ton, and that many of them have
more money than they know what
to do with, is a most gratifying
one. Only one OF the banks in
their recent examination made a
bad showing, and the cashier of
that one had been specializing.
1t is safe to say that the condition
of the national banks of the state
is as good as that of the state
banks.
1t has not been SO many years
since Georgia was almost wholly
dependent upon New York for
money with which to move the
cotton crop, and it was not posi-
BILE to return the borrowed money
until the end of the year. Indeed,
there was a debt due New York
pretty much all the time. Now
Georgia has a big balance in New
York almost I'll the year around,
the exception being the first two
months of the fall.
The fact that the banks are SO
we'll supplied with money is due
to the high price of cotton during
the past few years. The farmers
and the country merchants are
better off than they have ever been
before. Another good cotton crop
with the price of cotton ranging
around 10 cents, will be followed
by great improvements on the
farm and III the towns. The far
mers will build better houses and
outbuildings and will adopt better
methods for the fertilization of
their land, and the merchants and
others in the towns will build
better residences.
indeed, the signs of progress will
be visible on every hand. The
surplus will seek Investment, and
we shall see a great increase in
the number of manufacturing
plants. That will create de-
mand for additional labor and
from the North and East will
come immigrants, and with them
will come capital seeking invest.

HAPPINESS.

The only paradise of man is
happiness. A thousand heavens
could dc no more than make peo-
pie happy. The happiness is at
tanned by the satisfaction of all
human aspirations--all the hun
gers and thirsts of body, heart
and mind The rounds Of the lad
der to this paradise are all the
definite conditions of external ma
ture, corresponding to the definite
powers of human nature, by full
filling which man arrives at the
goal Of happiness. And the angels
that assist him in this ascent are
the angels of art, science, taste,
culture and human love. They
are distributed in forms born of
the past and Of the present; some
now are descending, having full
filled their office and delivered up
their task to the newer forms that
ascend. But they all work to-
gether to make life richer, purer,
happier; to do away with its rude
ness and crudeness, and so adorn
and refine every part Of life that
it may be utilized and ministered
to happiness without causing in
jury to any.

Seeding is mostly a habit. 1t
is often the result of nervousness
and an irritable condition of both
mind and body. A personals tired
or annoyed at some trivial cause
and forthwith commences finding
fault with everything and every
body within reach. Scolding is a
habit very easily formed. 1t is
astonishing how soon one becomes
addicted to it and confirmed in
it. 1t is unreasoning and un-
reasonable habit.
