CURRENT COMMENT.

The Springfield (Mass.) Republican
Qnd.) says: THE Monroe doctrine,
says Secretary Taft, is the big stick
This is an obvious effort to make that
historic policy, which was maintained
for two or three generations without
a large standing army and a great
navy. responsible for the militaristic
and imperialistic ambitions which find
their vent in theD Philippines and
Asia
The Manchester Union Dem.) calls
attention to the fact that in New
Hampshire of all state officials only
a governor and council of five are
elected by the people. The State Leg
islature chose two--the secretary Of
state and state treasurer All the rest
are appointed by the chief executive.
The Union declares that the people
have surrendered their just rights to
q machine organization, and calls up
on them to throw out the ruling dy-
nasty.
The Philadelphia Record (Dem)
says: Paul Morton, Roosevelt's Sec
retary of the Navy, returned from
Kansas the other day with a wonder
full account of the enthusiasm for his
heels comes the earnest cry of the
Kansas farmers for immediate reduce
ton of the robber tariff. Since there
is no hope of such reduction should
Roosevelt be elected. 1t is not easy to
see why the plundered farmers Of the
West should show any enthusiasm for
the chief defender of tariff spoilation.
II is very likely that Paul Morton is
mistaken concerning the sentiment of
the West. NJ. II. ingalls,. president of
the Big -Four Railroad system, appears
to be much more in touch with the
Western farmers than this ex-railroad
manager"
The Columbia Is. c. State Dem.)
says: According to the report in the
Newton, N. c., Enterprise, in his
speech there last week Tom Watson
said that Georgia. Alabama and the
Carolnas have no law against the
working OF small children in cotton
mills He was wrong as 10 North
Carolina says the Newton paper He
was wrong as to Alabama and South
Carolina. too. II that Is the way
Watson Is talking up North he is mis-
representing the Southern States I'm a
matter concerning which any intelli-
gent white man should be informed
No other subject has been given wider
attention IN the South the last few
years than this. and n Tom Watson
does not know OF the successful fight
for this reform he Is a mighty poor
sort Of reformer."

STIRRING up THE DEMOCRATS.

Congressman Brantley is doing a
| good work in stirring up the Demo-
cratic voters of the state and i'm
voting at the national election. No
doubt thousands of them had about
made up their minds to stay at home
on Nov. s, as they did on Oct 5. sim
ply because they felt there would be
no need for their votes. Now that
they are being warned that their votes
will be needed it is probable they will
do their duty as citizens and to their
party.
If there ever was a doubt that Mr..
Watson's purpose is to help Mr.. Roose-
welt all he can it no longer exists. He
is following Mr.. Bryan in Indiana for
the purpose of multiplying the latter's
influence in that state, not to make
votes for his own ticket.
The activity in this state of Repub-
leans and some of the men who were
once prominent in the POpulist party
justifies the suspicion that there is an
understanding between the Republic
cans and Mr.. Watsons friends. In
several districts the Republicans have
put up negroes for Congress, and they
may make nominations in other dis
tricts. In Mr. Watson's old district
negro has been nominated against
Congressman Hardwick.
If Mr.. Watsons friends in this state
are to join hands with the Republi-
cans to beat Judge Parker there will
be need for Democrats not only to
cast their ballots, but to get to work
for their ticket. Since the disintegra-
ton of the Populist party the party
line has not been strictly drawn
against Populist, and consequently
there are men who formerly affiliated
with the Populists now occupying re-
sponsible positions in the Democratic
organization. 1t has been stated that
one of the electors on the Watson
ticket is a member of the Democratic
Executive Committee of his county. If
such a condition of affairs exists to
any great extent throughout the state
there may be political disasters in un-
expected quarters.
More of the Democratic leaders
ought to get out among the people.
They should encourage Democrats of
local prominence to stir up their Dem
ocratic neighbors and friends. We
don't want any Republican or Popu-
list congressman from this state and
we don't want Mr.. Watson to get
support here that would justify him
in thinking that with an effort he
could carry Georgia at some future
election. The safe thing. the wise
thing for Democrats of Georgia to do
is to make UP their minds that the
empire state of the South shall give
Parker and Davis an old-time ma
jority.

EARTH FROM JERUSALEM.
From the New York Sun


Several Hebrews make business OF
importing into this country earth from
Jerusalem. which they sell to orthodox
Jews at 81 a pound. The earth is
placed by the purchasers in the cof-
fms of dead friends or relatives.
The demand for the earth arises
chiefly from two causes. One is largely
sentiment, the desire of orthodox Jews
that their heads may rest at least upon
the holy soil of Jerusalem. The other
cause is the superstition that to place
earth brought from the Holy Land in
the coffin of the dead will keep evil
spirits away and preserve the body.
About three years ago several retired
rabbis saw that large profits were to be
made by importing earth from Jerusa-
lem to satisfy this demand, and they
formed a partnership. They have
places of business in all the Jewish
cemeteries in Brooklyn and Long Is
land. The earth is contained in boxes,
barrels and cases near the entrance TO
the cemeteries.
At nearly every funeral some relative
of the deceased buys a pound of the
holy earth, paying 81 for it. The earth
is placed under the head of the dead
somewhat like a pillow.
Much of this earth is brought to this
country every year by returning pill
grims to Palestine. The rabbis buy it
from the pilgrims.

UNWORTHY INSPECTORS.


The report of the commission that
was appointed to investigate the ques-
ton as to whether any neglect of duty
by steamboat inspectors had contrib
uted to the Gen. Slocum disaster will
be generally approved. 1t recommends
the dismissal of three inspectors.
The report indicates that these three
inspectors had performed their duties
in the most perfunctory manner. They
didn't seem to realize that the lives of
thousands of men, women and children
depended upon their intelligence and
faithfulness to the trust reposed in
them, or if they did they were in
different as to what the result of their
carelessness might be. There is a prob
ability that fewer lives would have
been lost in the Gen. Slocum disaster
If there had been an honest inspection
of the life preservers and the apparat-
us for fighting fire.
The dismissal of the three inspectors
and the indictment of assistant in
spectors that actually did the inspect
ing, ought to have the effect of bring
ing about rigid inspection by intelli-
| gent inspectors of all steamboats,. 1t
is within the bounds of probability
that it would be found that on many
vessels life preservers do not come
| up to the requirements of the law and
that the means for fighting fire are
wholly inadequate. Who is able to
say that the life preservers on the
| Gen. Slocum were of first-class mate
rial? There were many reports after
the disaster to the effect that the life
! preservers were of no benefit to the
terror-stricken passengers, and that
those who put them on sank almost
Immediately.
We can will believe that the Gen.
Slocum's life preservers contained
something besides cork, in view of the
revelations made concerning life
preservers made in a factory at Cam
den, N. ]. In specimens Of the out
put from this factory there was found,
as stated some days ago in our New
York dispatches. small iron bars in
order to give them the required
weight. 1t is a fact, probably, that
the life preservers. so weighted, are
worthless, that they would help to
drown a person rather than help save
him.
And yet there are some reasons for
thinking that there is no law that di-
rectly covers the case Of the officers of
the Camden factory. 1t was not
thought there We're, or ever would be,
men bad enough to load life preserv-
ers with iron bars in order to save a
cent or two on each life-belt. wheth-
er or not the persons indicted for the
latter offense can be convicted is a
question that has not yet been passed
upon directly. Their cases will, 1t is
understood, be called for trial very
soon.
The commission appears to have
done its work well. Now, let us see
what the outcome Of the cases in the
courts will be.

SUPERIORITY OF xNEE BREEoHEs


From the London News.
The long trouser has every fault
which it is possible to combine in a
single garment. 1t rubs at the ankle
which is not true of the knicker-
booker. If you turn up the trouser,
then you create a horizontal crease
which is just as bad as the rubbing
of the edge. A band of leather does
not really save the trouser from at
triton against the boot.
Then, consider the knees. No amount
of pressing or stretching will really
save a pair of trousers from becom-
ing baggy at this singularly inoppor-
tune joint. The man who is true to
his trousers must never sit and must
never run. Only by standing still, or
at most walking slowly can he pre-
serve the contour of his costume.
On a muddy day a man with long
trousers finds that they are covered
with dust. He cannot send them to
the wash, and has to trust entirely to
the clothes brush or vacuum cleaner.
But in the case of stockings, all he
has to do is to put on new pair next
morning.
1t is, therefore, no wonder that two
pairs of trousers are necessary to last
out one coat and vest" whereas two
coats and vests" are necessary to last
out one pair of knee breeches.

A coon woRD ron SAVANNAH.

The Financier. one Of the leading
papers of New York that devote their
attention almost wholly to financial
matters. gives more than a page of
! it's issue of Monday, oct. II, to Sa-
vannah. and her wealth. commerce and
| prosperity. The article is illustrated
with a picture of Mayor Myers, who
furnished much of the information on
which it is based.
There is one thing that can be said
of the article that cannot be said Of
many of the similar articles respect
ing other cities. 1t sticks close to
the truth. It's statements respecting
the city's commerce, population, as
sessed valuation progress and kindred
matters can be verified easily. There
fore, those who come here for the pur-
pose of making investments or en-
gaging in business or simply to estab-
fish homes will not be disappointed.
Savannah's progress is so encourag-
ing that her officials and people would
be justified in saying extravagant
things about it-in making bright
ceipts of cotton thus far this season
have been so great that they are ex-
citing very general comment, and the
amount of building now going on
within her limits and the steady in
crease in the number of her industries
serve to confirm the belief of her own
people in the greatness of her flu
ture.
That Savannahs fame as a port and
thriving city is spreading, is shown in
many ways, but especially by two dis
patches in the Morning News yester-
day. One of them was from Wash
ington in which it was stated that
the Department of Commerce and La
Dor had just issued a statement show
ing that Savannah had exported more
cotton last September than in any
previous September in her history and
the other was from one of the Geor-
gia commissioners of the st. Louis
Fair, in which it was stated that there
was a great demand by people visiting
the fair for the pamphlet containing
a description of Savannah and her
commerce, and illustrations of her cot
ton and naval stores wharves.
Savannah is moving ahead steadily
and surely. Her prosperity rests upon
solid foundation. There is no need
to fear therefore that money invested
in real estate business or the in
dustries within her limits will be lost.
On the contrary, the probability is that
while being safe it will yield as big
return as safe investments in any
other city.

is one of his stories: when 1 was

greeted with marked GOODNESS by the
worthy dame who kept it. On asking
the reason of this strange treatment
the good woman produced a haIf-crown

Senator Carmack, of Tennessee, tells
of a thrifty negro who presented him
self at the ticket office of a Memphis
Railway station and inquired what
would be the charge of transporting a
corpse ito Birmingham and return. -
Receiving the desired information, he
next inquired what would be the cost
of a round-trip ticket for himself. The
tariff schedule was quoted and the
ticket agent then said: I'D like to
know what you want of a round-trip
rate on a corpse?" The negro had no
disposition to the mysterious and said:

GOV. LnFoIIette's Quick wit.

At the Wisconsin State Fair, held
at Milwaukee. the visitors were re-
cipients of yardsticks which an enter
prising furniture house was distrib-
uting, says an Exchange, Gov.
LaFollette had one of these
sticks, and while enjoying the
evidences of prosperity exhibited by
the farmers of the state used the
measuring rod as a cane. A pho
tographer was engaged by the furni-
ture man and ordered to take a snap
shot of the executive who was doing
such good advertising.
Intuitively the Governor realized the
intent of the energetic photographer,
and quickly handed the yardstick to
one of his companions, saying
Keep it as one of the measures We
toed by the Governor"
