DEsPorL1NG THE SOUTHERN FARMER

From the Savannah Press.
The position of the southern farmer
who commended through his Leaders,
that the statistician at Washington
was in league witt the spectators on
| Wall street, has been abundantly VIM
dicated. If the organization OF south
ern nlanters had done nothing more
than TO bring about the exposure OF
the methods in Washington, it would
have been justified
II does look as if this government,
in some part, is hOneycombed with
craft. The developments in the pos
| tal service were not more serious than
the outrageous proceedings in the ag-
ricultural department. Here crop re-
nOrts. which were submitted under
| seal of confidence, were dOctored,
fraudulently issued, and disseminated
in a way to deceive the people who
| have trusted the government. This IS
one of the most disgraceful things we
have ever heard Of. No wonder the
farmers have declined to furnish in
formation which they felt would be
abused. The facts and figures which
they submitted in good faith were
turned to their detriment.
1t is disheartening to see the gov
eminent making a half hearted con-
fession of wrong doing, appearing
afraid to push its investigation. The
announcement that there is no law
under which these men can be cOnvlc-
ted does not have pleasant or whole
some sound. If fraud has been found
it ought to be followed to the limit,
and the knife should be plunged in to
the hilt. If men have been guilty OF
abusing pnblic trust it would seem
that the law is ample to overtake and
punish them. 1t is not enough for
President Roosevelt to make virtu-
Gus show of indignation. He ought
to see that the heads of this depart
ment push this investigation. He
should hew to the line, ''let the chips
fall as they may"
The only way to restore confidence
is to make this investigation so com
plete that it will cover every rascal
who has sent out mendacious reports
under the great seal of the govern
ment,

MIR. STEVENS AND THE COMMISSION

From the Atlanta News.
The stir over the proposition to
abolish the railway commission has a
personal phase in which the News, as
a public organ, is very much interest
ed.
The attitude of this paper toward
the interests of the people, even where
they come in conflict with the cOrpOr-
atiOns is clear. We have lived and
written in vain if we have not made
plain that the News stands for the
real welfare of the people of Georgia,
and is ready to champion those inter-
ests without hesitation and without
fear.
Whenever, in the interests of the
many, it becomes evident that the rail
road commission is dislOyal or J &. n
petent for the protection OF the people,
that moment we take our stand for the
abolition of the commission.
We are not prepared to say that this
time has come. The majority of the
commission has not committed treason
against the people, and we have yet
faith in the personnel of that body.
We are not disposed to act hastily in
matter of such moment.
issue with those who see in the APP
pointment of Colonel 0. B. Stevens to
the railroad commission any menance
to the rights and interests of the peo-
pie 1t does not matter from what
source Colonel Stevens promotion
comes, or what motives may have in
spired his transfer to the important
station of railroad commissioner.
The character and temper of the
man is the guarantee of his fidelity to
the people and the state. Colonel
Stevens without pretense or profess
sion, in temper, in environment and
in sympathy, is man of the people.
He comes from the people. He has
lived with the people. He has labOred
with the people, and it is no dema-
gogy to say that, by all his record,
he is a lover of the people. There is
not stain in all the years either up
on his integrity or his patriotism.
No man has right, by the record, to
say or to believe that he could be in
fuenced or persuaded to vote or to
work against the rights and interests
of the people upon the railroad COM
mission. All his record is distinctly
and definitely the other way. A
record like this must naturally and
logically count something in the judg-
ment of men and of legislators. For
our own part, we do not believe that
there is money or favor enough in the
corporation to swerve this brave and
honest old citizen from his duty to
the people and the state.
Colonel Stevens retires from the ag-
licultural department to the commits
sion because he sincerely desires to
be out of personal and active politics.
In the agricultural department he has
an hundred appointments and a wide
scope of personal influence. In the
commission he has not one single APP.
pointment, and no influence or power
beyond that which comes from the
faithful and upright discharge OF his
duties. A man must have lived IL
vain if the unbroken record of hi:
wears without a stain, does not stanC
him in good stead in an emergenc.
like this.
The necessity for the abolishmen
of the railroad commission may o
NAV not appear. But when it come
it must be based upon something NOR
probable and tangible than the pos
sible treason of a man like ObadiaI
Stevens, of Terrell.

DON'T MAKE A FARCE OF 1T.

Mr.. Halls anti-pass bill, if put
through with the amendments that it
is understood he has agreed to, will
be another legislative farce. Under
it railroad attorneys and other en-
ployes and newspaper men who may
be legislators or hold state offices of
any kind, will not be subject to its
provisions and can accept passes and
other courtesies from these corpora
lions. They do not know that there
is crying need of any legislation of
this character, but if we are to have
any anti-pass law lets have one in
fact as we'll as in name. Have one
that will apply to everybody alike
the same to Legislator Smith as to
Legislator Jones. Don't put another
farce on the statute books.

work of saving the country. Among
the interesting subjects of proposed

THE bill by Mr.. Fielder of Bibb to

most seriously into account, but the
fact that he is prepared to murder
when he enters a home.

Monstrous Toulouse Goose.

Monstrous Toulouse Goose.
Mr.. Harry Pinkham, a Nevada (1a.)
holseman, owns Toulouse goose which
is 4 monstrosity. It has attracted a
great deal of attention on account of its
great size. The goose stands over two
feet high and lays an egg as large
around as an ordinary carafe. The fowl
has been exhibited by Mr.. Pinkham at
several of the live stock shows and has
always attracted attention. The weight
OF this goose is SO great that the web
feet became crippled, and in order that
the fowl might easily walk over the
frozen ground last winter, Mr.. Pinkham
had made for it a pair Of rubber shoes,
which had been made to fit exactly upon
the two web feet, and with this artifi-
cial aid the goose got about on the ice
and the hard ground quite we'll. With
one of the eggs which the goose recently
laid Nevada boarding house keeper
made IA custard pies. - Commercial

g. BITS OF FLAG LORE,

The simple stripping of the red and
yellow in the flag of Spain was suggested
by the arms of Aragan.
The strangest flag under which man
ever fought is that of the Macedonian
insurgents. It Is red on one side and
black on the other.
The crescent, moon and stars were
adopted by the Turks as their device on
the capture Of Constantinople by Mo-
BANNED II. in 1853.
The white cross on the red, field Of the
Swiss flag has religious meaning. It
was adopted as an appeal to heaven in
1899 when the stout Swiss fought and
won one Of their greatest battles. lsr
Peter the Great, it. is said. borrowed
the idea of the Russian flag from the
Dutch, among whom he learned ship
building. He simply turned the Dutch
tricolor, red, white and blue, upside
down.
In compliment to William, prince Of
Orange, their great leader, the colors Of

knows how, in the centuries since, the
orange became changed to red.

Cut an opening nine inches square on

can be turned back on the roof for con-

Whatever the house is, it must have
clean, dry straw, or some sort of bed
ding about foot deep on the floor, re-.
newed every three days. It is not much
use to put in nests, for ducks seem to-
prefer dropping their eggs around any
where. Put one box not more than three
inches from the floor in corner with a
china egg; it will sometimes attract
them. g&
Under any circumstances care must
be exercised in gathering eggs, for ducks
generally lay very early in the morn
ing; an egg frozen or badly chilled will
not hatch. Another need for care, says
Parsons Magazine. is necessitated by
their habit of laying all over the coop
and covering the eggs with straw,
leaves, or whatever the floor litter may
be. Until I became used to the trick
