1bscn, all ought to be barred In the In.
terosts OF purely homegrown talent Dr.
Ludwig Fulda, the distinguished Germnr
dramatlst, who has Just arrived In this
country, should have been held up at
the dock for stifr tnrln. His coming
may mean n boom for the German drama,
from which our Clyde Pitches and
Belnscos may suffer in the box Office. II
we nre really enrnest in our ondeayor to
show the old world that we consider
genius as so much nero merchandise,
like potatoes, we ought TO do the job
thoroughly.
But waving this aspect OF the matter,
1t Is curious to note that the art tarit
really Injuries those whom 1t was de-
signed to benefit. Culture, we take 1t,
grows by what 1t feeds on, and the
desire to own paintings evolves itself
naturally out OF familiarity with them
out OF seeing them about.
Tho more q people grows familiar with
paintings, so much the moro grows their
wish to possess them. Tho duty on art
was intended to keep the work OF foreign
artists out of this country, and no doubt
It does so. The public taste become thus
less well educated. and our artists in
consequence suffer.
Hero is n tariff. then that both places
the American painter in ridiculous posi-
ton. and distinctly hurts him profess
sionally. Its imposition was a poor
BUSINESS, and 1t ought to go. 1t is n tariff
extraordinarily qualified for speedy
abolishment.

Georgia Chivalrv.

The political campaign in Georgin Is
growing worse and worse. Mr.. Clark
Howell editor OF the Constitution, and
Mr.. Hoke Smith. who has some sort Of
connection with the Journal, are candi-
dates for Governor and tho contest has
been and is bitter and denunciatory.
There is mud-flnging on both sides. In
n recent speech, Mr.. Howell accused the
Journal of having surrendered its con-
riotions. and In reply Mr.. Gray, editor
statement as false. On It's front page the
Journal caricatures Mr.. Howell. and on
Its front page the Constitution caricatures
Mr.. Smith. This sort OF thing goes on
day after day. and 1t would appear from
the general appearance and tone OF these
newspapers, that the most important ques-
ton to the people of Georgia is the can
didacy of these editors.
1t is distressing that reputable news
paper men OF the South should engage
in such an unseemly contest, and use
paper is an institution and quasi public
institution, no matter who owns 1t. It's
mission is to servo the public, to print the
news fairly, to discuss public questions,
to lead public thought without reference
to the private interests of the owner or
editor. But when 1t so far departs from
this course as to make 1t the personal
organ of its editor or owner and to make
his interest the chief concern of the paper,
it brings journalism into public contempt
and necessarily impairs the confidence
and respect OF the public.
We do not know what these Georgia
| editors expect to gain by such conduc:
They cannot be doing their newspapers
any good, and we DO not see how 1t can
lie that they are helping themselves. A
correspondent of tine Macon Telegraph
says that the public is led by the course
of these newspapers to believe that all
the candidates in the field are unworthy
Of the Office thy seek.
Were the people of our sister States or
foreign nation" adds the correspondent,
ITO believe the calumny thus sought to DO
heaped upon the present aspirants for
gubernatorial honor they would doub.-
less conclude that we Georgans we're not
capable of rearing men to administer our
government"
The whole wretched business IS hurtful
to Journalism, hurtful to pol;lcs and
hurtful to the good namc OF an honorea
State.
The South is Judged in other sections
very largely by the tone and genera.
character of it's newspapers.
1t seems to us almost breach OF trust
when Southern editor brings reproacl.
upon the section he represents. Can 1t
DO that chivalry is departing from the
PRESS of Atlanta?

BOTH FOOD

AAASA/ ALLCINtx ILs
We like best to call SCOTS
Emulsion a food-medicine.
1t is a term that aptly de-
scribes the character and ac-
ton Of our Emulsion. More
than a medicinel11ore than
a food, yet combining the
vital principles Of both. tits
for this reason that SCOTS
Emulsion has a distinct and
special value in all wasting
diseases. There is nothing
better to remedy the troubles
of imperfect growth and deli
cate health in children. The
action of SCOTS Emulsion
is just as effective in treat
ing weakness and wasting

THE HILL. BY Horace A. Nachell.
Dodd, Mead & Co. For sale at The
Bell Book and Stationery Company
This is story OF English public school
life at Harrow and the love that Har-
tovians, old and young, feel for 1t. There
is something unique about the pubic
schools of England. where school Is an
inheritance from generation to generation,
and as enviolable as an entail and where
boy of twelve Is inspired with a ze S
and active partisanship for his particular
school that stays, by him through ms
life The Hill gives a speaking picture
of school life, not only at Harrow; out
in the phases that are universal. ihere
is the mixture of DULLES and flnshy
sports, liars and incompetent masters;
and there is one unusually attractive ana
well drawn boy who is called the cater
pillar. The central thread of the story is
the struggle between Verney and Scaife
for first place in the friendship of Des-
mond Verney is the hero of the story,
and Scaife Is the clever son of self.
made millionaire. Scaife's hashiness and
acknowledges fascinate Desmond as
much as Verney's appeal to him In other
ways. The rivalry between the two IS
somewhat overdone, and II Is by no means
the best part OF the book. There Is
vivid account of the two days Eton-
Harrow cricket match at Lords AT this
annual competitor foregether all the sons
of Harrow, past and present, among
them the Rev. Septlmus Dun, whose
hat has witnessed twenty matches, and
Indulgence and dissipation.
