sAvANNAHIANs COMMENDED.

A Northern business man who has
been in Savannah for some days and
has come into contact with probably
a representative class Of commercial
and professional men of the city in
the course of his business. said a day
or two ago: Il have been struck by
the absence OF profane language
swearing-among your people. In
some cities that I have visited swear
ing in common conversation seems to
be a habit II not a characteristic. But
in the business houses and hotels Of
Savannah, and at the nearby resorts,
l have heard so few swear words that
the sound of one proved almost start
ling. This, mind you. has been among
men. with no ladies present. One
wouldn't of course, expect to hear pro-
family in the presence of ladies. es-
pecially in the South; but Il has struck
me as rather remarkable and alto
gether commendable TO find the con-
versations Of men, among themselves
and lacking artificial restraint, 10 be
generally 50 clean and free from any
lHluE vie leaHA ppI''tioNaule Auht II
might be repeated In any company"
Like drinking swearing Is falling into
disrepute. A hundred years ago. ac-
cording 10 the veracious chronicles, n
gentleman was expected 10 drink and
swear, or Do marked exception 10
the rule. But things are different now.
and temperance. both in habits ana
language, has become the rule rather
than thu exception among gentlemen.

zone Of Senator Hanna's objects In
stumping West Virginia in 1902 was
to help his friend Senator Scott, who
was then making his desperate cam
paign for reelection" says the Sat
urday Evening Post.
"At noon one day, while Hanna
was at dinner, Scott rushed into the
dining room in great excitement and
exclaimed: It's all right. it's all right
Mark has caught on in West Virginny
Four prisoners escaped from the pen
itentiary at Moundsville last night by
saving the bars for no other reason
than to hear him talk at Parkersburg
last night
Investigation showed that Scott had
spoken the truth. Four desperadoes
in the penitentiary who had heard of
the Hanna mass meeting made up their
minds to attend the meeting, and at
the risk of their lives sawed them
selves to freedom. They were pur-
sued by Warden Haddox and seven
guards, and after the meeting the
prisoners surrendered themselves. I'VE
are satisfied now,' said the leader.
Take us back to JAIL all we wanted
was to hear Hanna talk and see him.
This beats anything I ever heard,
said Hanna after the story was told
him. Say, Scotty,' he added with a
twinkle in his eyes, any prisoners
ever break out of Jail to hear you
talk? / have no doubt that most men
would plead guilty to some heinous
crime in order to get themselves lock-
ed up in jail to escape from your ora
torical stunts
And Senator Scott frowned"

CURRENT COMMENT.

The Houston (Tex.) Post (Dem.)
says: with two editors running for
Governor in Georgia, the affairs of
that state will soon be all write"
The Springfield (Mass) Republican
(Ind) says: For some mysterious
reason the annual report Of the bureau
Of navigation in the navy, will not be
maze public this year. Various reasons
have been suggested, among them the
possibility that the report contains
sensational matter concerning the
navy's operations at Panama. in the
Mediterranean and in the Far East.
Yet why should anything be concealed,
now that election is past and Mr..
Roosevelt got most OF the votes?'
The New York World CDem.) says:
by every consideration of geography.
language. institutions and blood the
people of the United States and Cam
ada are one. Unwise American states
manship alone is responsible for the
fact that an unfriendly nation has
been developing to the northward. The
correction Of some OF these blunders
Is OF more consequence 10 this country
than even an excessive protection of
the Massachusetts Goldfish industry,
but we should hardly expect the
Lodges In Congress TO see IT, They can
never see the woods for the trees"
The Philadelphia Record (Dem.)
says: philadelphia is interested in
an enterprise which Is being agitated
In the Carolinas and Georgia. Chair
man Taylor OF the Committee on In
land Water Route OF the Columbia
Is. CO Chamber OF Commerce, has
been In Savannah arousing interest In
the matter. Congressman Small OF
North Carolina. says that any person
familiar with the conditions along the

AN EXPRESSION OF SATISFACTION
OR WHAT


What did the President mean by
asking in his speech at Indianapolis
on Friday, What's the matter with
Missouri" Did he mean that ne was
particularly gratified by the fact that
| he carried that state in the recent
election, a state that had been classed
as part of the solid South. or did
he wish TO be understood that he had
| come to the conclusion that If his party
| let the South alone. let her handle the
| race problem in her own way, there
would be a gradual acceptance of Re
publican doctrines by the Southern
people and a breaking up of the solid
| South?
1t is not believed that he yielded to
the opportunities of some of the Re
publican leaders and has rec
| commended in his annual mes
sage that Southern representa-
ton in Congress be reduced be-
cause of the withdrawal of the ballot
from the negro, and it may be that
his question relative to Missouri, in
his Indianapolis speech, means that he
thinks it would be the wiser course
for the Republican party not to at
tempt any legislation in connection
with the race problem
The inference that his question rela-
tive to Missouri referred to the race
problem seems of course to be rather
far fetched. but there is no telling
what is running through the mind of
a man like Mr.. Roosevelt. He is much
more likely to do that which is out
of the ordinary than that which most
other men would do. Hence, while
there is no doubt that the fact that
he carried Missouri by a good sized
majority is a great source Of satisfac-
ton to him. he may be nursing the
idea that his party would stand a
much better chance for getting a per-
manent foothold in the South by letting
the Southern people deal with the ne
gro question in the way that seems
best to them.
AS to whether or not the President
had anything of that kind in his mind
will no doubt crop out soon after the
meeting of Congress. The leaders of
his party would hardly take an i'm
portant step like cutting down South
ern representation without his ap-
prevail Indeed. in view Of the ire
mendous majority by which he was
elected, they are not likely to take
any important step that hasn't his ap-
proval. Hence 1t is practically certain
that if no strongly supported move
ment to restrict Southern representa-
ton takes place it can be accepted
as pretty certain that such move
ment wouldn't be in harmony with the
policy of his administration

ORIGIN OF THE EARTH,s HEAT,
From the London Telegraph.


A German physicist, Herr Liebe-
now, puts forward the theory, which
has been limited by others, that there
may be enough radium in the crust of
the globe to account for the earth's
internal heat. 1t is only necessary to
suppose, for this object, that radium
is uniformly distributed throughout
the mass of the earth in quantities
of about one-thousandth of what is
known to occur in pitchblende" But
there are many indications that radium
occurs more frequently than this in
all known rocks, and that it's occur
renee is more frequent near the surface
of the earth than in the interior This
theory, the Electrician observes, de
mollSheS at blow all our conceptions
of a liquid interior at the tremendous
temperatures implied by a uniformly
rising gradient" 1T now becomes
permissible to assume that the temper
allure rises toward the center of the
earth, but attains a maximum at no
very great depth, and that the in
terror beyond that point is at uni
form and comparatively low tempera-
ture.''
This is making rather too much of
radium What we know of volcanic
phenomena in the past, of heat as
factor in the formation of the heaven

system, as so many slowly cooling
bodies, negatives the supposftion OF

for the same effects. Besides, do we

Charles M. Schwab. after his return
from the West, was praising San Fran
cisco when some one interrupted him
with the remark:
But you hurried back home. You
didn't stay long"
"You speak, said Mr. Schwa'b
"obliquely. Your remark, in an indi-
rect way, is disparaging. 1t is like
the remark that once heard bache-
lor make on train.
He was an old and crusty bache-
lor, and 1t was his i'll fortune to be
seated beside woman with baby
and cried. The woman handled the
baby, caressed it, jumped it up and
down, sang to it. But it only shrieked
the louder. Finally, in despair, she ex-
claimed:

AN APPREAoIAr1oN OF NOAH.
From the Boston Post.

4Oi4A lLC oO6lOn 4OCts
Prof. NJ. V. Willard, a resident of
Indianapolis, Ind, has returned to this
country after several years spent in
Egypt, here he has been making ex-
cavations in many places along the
Nile. Prof. Willard is an eminent
archeologist, and from the investiga-
tions which he has made he has de-
duced the following facts concerning
Noah:
Has located the exact spot where the
ark was builded.
That Noah laid out 100000 in build
ing the ark.
That he was assisted in this work by
a large crew of ship carpenters.
That Noah was one of the greatest
kings of the world and a multi-million-
aire.
That Noah built the pyramid of
Gizeh.
That Noah was a giant in stature.
These are interesting facts indeed.
Noah, then, was the first captain of in
dustry who ever happened. He was the
first moneyed man of the world. He
must have possessed considerable tact
in inducing ship carpenters to work
"a Viz Oil n LII 4AAltls II w do
project in which they had no inter
est or sympathy. Chances are Noah
departed from the usual custom of
captains of industry who have come
after him, by paying his workmen
union wages. The people jeered at
Noah as he proceeded to build the
large scow. But Noah paid no atten-
ton to their jibes-he merely cast his
weather eye around and predicted that
IL was going to shower. and it did.
Noah was the greatest weather prophet
of all time, bar none. Noah predicted
the continuous rain 120 years before it
came. He seemed to have an ability
in this direction that is not possessed
by our weather clerks of to-day. 1t
hustles a modern weather clerk to
predict a shower twenty-four hours
ahead nowadays, and hit it.
Prof. Willard does not tell us by what
means Noah accumulated his vast
wealth and became millionaire. We
know that he formed the first ship
building trust and that he watered the
stock at that. Can it be possible that
here is where ]. Pierpont Morgan got
his cue?
Why Noah should have built the
great pyramid of Gizeh is more than
we can imagine. He must have been
hunting trouble. Possibly he desired
TO leave behind something which would
make posterity remember him once in
While. Or, again like Carnegie, he
may have been afraid of dying rich
and planted his money in a pyramid
as an easy means of reducing the sur
plus. If he had gone about establish
ing free libraries he would have done
more good in the world. But Noah
did have the greatest menagerie which
was ever collected together, we must
all admit that. When the late p. T.
Barnum advertised that he had the
greatest show on earth" he was hard
ly fair to Noah, who had him skun
going and coming on animals.

THE DAPTIsTs OF GEORGIA.

The Georgia Baptist Convention, in
session at Columbus during four
days of the past week, made a show
ing of church extension and religious
progress that must be gratifying to
every adherent of the faith. Increas-
ed amounts of money were subscribed
for mission work, for education and
for charity. All of the reports sub
mitted to the central body showed the
church to be in a fiourishing and Wig
orous condition. The membership is
steadily growing. the field of endeavor
is broadening and the enthusiasm of
the workers was never greater. The
outlook for the ensuing year, there
fore, is encouraging, and the Georgia
Baptists will enter upon the twelve
months work with confidence and in
the determination to make the next
year even better than the last one
was.
Statistics gathered by the census
bureau show that the Baptist denomi-
nation is one of the most virile of all
of the religious denominations in the
country; and especially is this true in
the South, where. it may properly be
claimed. there is a greater degree of
freedom of religious thought than in
any other part of the country. 1t is
not meant to be suggested, of course,
that freedom of religious thought is
hampered in any section, but where
the flood of immigration pours in
greatest and the immigrants bring
with them hard-and-fast religious
opinions fostered by government-es-
tablished churches in Europe, natur-
ally there is a relatively smaller fruc-
LITIGATION of that liberal spirit and
personal appeal which characterize
the great evangelical churches of the
South. The strength and influence Of
the Baptist Church in this section Of
the country, and in this state. are not
to be estimated by mere figures of
property owned or communicates. The
influence of the church is far wider
than it's actual membership; and it is
always exercised IN the direction Of
an uplifting Of the race; for better
homes, better people and better gov
eminent. 1t is one of the greatest Of
the great moral forces continually
making for the Advancement Of man
kind and the establishing of fraternity
and affection throughout the earth.

An item of utmost Importance comes
over the wires. Mr.. Richard Harding
Davis is back home from the Far East
wars. 1t is announced that Mr.. Davis
came home attired in blue serge suit
with long coat; that his shirt was
pale yellow, bordering on champagne
color, and that he carried a heavy
walking stick in one gloved hand.
with a picture of a dog in the
other hand. Incidentally, it is stated
that Mr.. Davis heard on authority be-
fore he left Toxic that Gen. Kuroki
had been killed. But, of course. the
fate of Gen. Kurold was as nothing
in comparison with the color and cut
of Mr.. Davis clothes and the color
of his gloves.

DR.. Buchanan of the board of public
schools of Philadelphia says that as a
rule the dull pupils in the public
schools are those who are improperly
fed. With proper food and care. he
says, the average child is bright and
susceptible of education. And there
is no doubt much truth in what he OBJ
serves. Men are particular to feed
their horses and cows the right sort

week or so ago Mr.. and Mrs. Van
Dusen left New York for the Worlds
Fair at st. Louis on their wedding
tour. There were. of course, a num-
Der of friends to see them off at the
railway station, and these friends, aft
er the old custom. threw a shower of
rice upon them. That the intention
was good there is no doubt. But the
effects were otherwise. A grain of rice
lodged in the brides ear. For three
days she suffered agony from it, and
finally a surgeon had to be called to
remove it. Nevertheless the custom of
throwing rice will be continued. Peo-
pie do not quit foolish customs for so
slight thing as a menace of deafness
or death.
