THINKS OUTLOOK IS OMNIBUS

Hon. w. S. West, the retiring
president of the State Senate, takes
anything but cheerful view of the
situation political since the land
slide of week ago, and predicts
dark days for Georgia if the poll
cies promulgated by Mr.. Smith
during his campaign are carried
out. In card since published in
the press Mr.. West writes thusly:
"I now predict if all the princi-
pies proclaimed from the hastings
by HOke Smith, who has swept the
state by an overwhelming majority
are enacted into laws, the people
will rue the day that elevated him
to his high position, for, while it
is not denied that he advocated the
passage of laws that would be
wholesome for the country, he at
the same time advocated others,
the enforcement of which, if pass
ed, would be as deadly to human
rights and progress as the blight
of the far famed upas tree was
supposed to be to animal life. He
has surpassed the Populists in the
advocacy of extreme measures,
and today they are in the saddle
with scarcely a VeStige of demo.
cracy save the banner under which
they have marched to victory. II
is evidently distinctive triumph
of extreme Populist teachings and
while some may deem these utter.
ances ominous forebodings, me-
thinks-howeYer [ may hope fol
the best-the people will not find
in realization what they have
cherished for the anticipated
glories of the next administration. .

Washington, D. C.-American

than American population during
the last decade. Completed figures
for the fiscal year 1906, just pre-

ton has grown since 1896 only
twenty per cent, imports have grown
fifty-seven per cent. and exports 100
per cent.
Glasses of imports which show the
greatest gains are manufactures and
manufacturers materials. Manufac-
lures imported show an increase of
forty-two per cent and manufactur-
ers' materials imported show an in
crease of ninety-fve per cent.
Agricultural products exported
show an increase during the decade
of seventy per cent. and manufactures
an increase of 1853 per cent. This in
crease has occurred in the trade with
all of the grand divisions Of the
world, but is especially marked in
the trade with Asia and Oceania.
Imports from Europe show an in
crease of fifty per cent, those from
North America eighty per cent, from
South America thirty per cent, from
Asia and Oceania eighty per cent.
and from Africa thirteen per cent.
Exports to Europe show an increase
of seventy-eight per cent, to North
America an increase of 164 per cent,
to South America 107 per cent, to
Asia and Oceania 232 per cent. and
to Africa forty-one per cent.
Actual gains in the decade are, in
imports, $447,O00,000, and in ex-
ports, 1861, 900, 900; in manufac-
lures imported, 61,0O0,0 900; in
manufacturers materials imported,
~$2SS,00O, 900; in agricultural prod
ucts exported, $500, 900, 900, and in
manufactures exported, $374,000,-
900.
In the trade by grand divisions the
actual increase in imports from Eu-
rope is 1914, 100000 and in exports
thereto, $527,0OO,00
In the trade with North America
the increase in imports is $108,000,-
900 and in exports 1892, 900, 900.
In the trade with South America
the increase in imports is $32, 000,-
900 and in exports $50, 100000.

900 and in exports $9S,00O,OO0.

crease in imports is $1,500,000 and
in exports less than 100000.

Seeking an Easy Job.

There are few easy places in the
world; when we do find them they
are at the end of the road over which
n did some very hard travelling.
Even then we come upon them unex-
pectedly. The way to the easy place
is not by seeking for it, but by labor
Ing hard until the work is finished
and the day is done. After labor
comes rest-and we should not seek
1t until labor is done. Yet the world
is full of folks seeking soft places.
In answer to a boys letter, asking
him for help in securing an easy
place in which he might make his
mark, Henry Ward Beecher once
wrote this striking paragraph: "You
cannot be an editor; do not try the
law; do not think of the ministry;
let alone all ships, shops and mer-
chandise; abhor politics; don't prac-
tice medicine; be not a farmer nor a
mechanic, neither be a soldier nor a
sailor; don't work, don't study, don't
think None of these are easy; my
son, you have come into a hard world.
1 know of only one easy place in this
world, and that is the grave."-Re-
formed Church Record.

Catches Mice with Her Tail.

did you know that if you cut a
cats tail off she can't catch mice any
more?" asked a young woman of an
other.
81 don't see why" replied the
other, land further, 1 can't imagine
what occasion you have had for cut
ting off cats tails to see."
81 haven't cut off any cats tails,
but an accident deprived our cat of
its caudal appendage. The feline be-
came as helpless as a ship without a
rudder. When it tried to spring
upon an object it would alight far to
one side. The look of panied sur
prise on the cats features was pa
thetic. After a while it learned to
jump straight again, but it was a
long and painful experience for the
poor cat. The balance of power and
the power to balance seem to lie in
the tail of the cat."-Kansas City
Times.

How Brokers Work.

Let's see what a broker is exactly.
He's the man whose services you
must seek if you wish to buy or sell
stocks. @You can't do a thing in Wall
Street without that broker. You
can't fill your own orders in Wall
Street any more than you can fill
your own teeth. The broker is to
you as a Spectator what a dentist is
to you Us a man with a toothache.
Now, operations on the floor Of the
Stock Exchange are conducted by
four groups first, by individual
spectators who trade on their own
account, and these are members of
the Exchange; second, by brokers
who lend money for banks; third. by
commission houses which buy and
sell bonds and stocks for persons not
members of the Exchange, and
fourth, by specialists who are also
called floor brokers, and oftentimes
dollar brokers' or two dollar bro
kers," and who execute orders for
commission houses. In turn commits
sion houses are of two kinds-those
that conduct one home Office, and
many branch Offices connected by
private wire, and those that conduct
a local and mail business.
To a broker in one of these classes
your order is given. In executing
your orders, and those of others, the
brokers' earnings may be any sum
from S10-more usually $100-to
thousands a day.-Leslie's Weekly.

paid high compliment to the virtues
of both men.
Il believe Mr.. Bryan is honest and

sesses many other qualities which
should endear him to the American
people. Bryan and Roosevelt have
many qualities in common. Both are
earnest and fearless and both have
the interests of the people and of
their country very much at heart.
They both stand very close to the peo-
pie for these reasons
Mr.. Taft also is splendidly eouip-
ped for the race While aggressive.
he is somewhat conservative on pub
lie questions. He is not so impul-
i or decisive as the President,
whom he strongly resembles in some
other ways. AS Chief Executive of

ton than does Roosevelt. Both of
them do things, but Taft does them

Cartagena, Spain. - Three hun
dred emigrants were drowned off
Cape Palos. The Italian steamship
Sirio, from Genoa for Cadiz, Monte
video and Buenos Ayres, with eight
hundred persons on board, was
wrecked off Hormigas Island. Most
of those lost were Italians and Span
iards. The captain of the steamer
committed suicide. He attributed
the wreck to his own imprudence.
The Bishop of Sac Pablo, Brazil, was
drowned while blessing the passen-
gers of the Sirio. The Archbishop Of
Sac Pedro was saved.
The remainder of the passengers
n the officers and crew got away
in the ships boats, or were rescued
by means of boats from shore. A
humber of fishermen who made at
tempts at rescue were drowned by
the oyerturning of a boat.
Those rescued from the vessel
were taken to Cape Palos in a pitia-
Bile condition, being without food or
clothing.
The Sirio, which was owned by the
Navigazione Italia, of Genoa, struck
q rocky reef known as Bajos Hormi-
gas and sank soon after, stern first.
Hormigas Island lies about two and
a half miles to the eastward of Cape
Palos.
Before he committed suicide the
captain said the steamer had 645 pas
sengers on board and that her crew
numbered 127 men. The Sirio had
$40 passengers when she left Genoa,
but additional Spanish passengers
were taken on board at Barcelona,
where the vessel touched a few hours
before she struck.
The steamer was threading a diff
hcult passage through the Hormigas
group, where the Bajos Hormigas
Reef is a continual menac to naviga-
ton. The vessel began to settle rap
idly as soon as she struck, and a ter
rlble scene of confusion and panic
followed. The fishermen along the
coast sought to render every assist
ance in their power, and sem out
boats which, brought many survivors
ashore. Most of the officers and
crew Of the Sirio are among the
saved.
The survivors camped in the main
square of the town at Cape Palos.
Thereswere Acknowledgements, as the
stricken families anxiously sought
members among the rescued. A
mother who lost her three children
went insane. The doctor of the Sirio
gave up his wife and child as lost,
but they were finally brought in by
n of the rescuing boats. One of
the boats sent out by the fishermen
brought in tw~enty-four passengers.
A few minutes later the vessel be-
gan to sink by the stern. The pas
sengers rushed forward, fighting for
places in the bow of the boat. Many
fell and were trampled to death.
Dozens of men and women threw
themselves into the sea. A young
mother, who was carrying her baby,
was advised to abandon the child and
try to I've herself. This she refused
to do. Both were afterwards res
cued.

"What Shall 1 Do?"

That is the problem which frequently
c%onfronts everyone-especially parents
with small children. A slight illness
treated at once often saves q long
period Of sickness and expense-some-
times prevents death. The trouble is
that so few people can think on the in
slant what treatment to apply, even IL
they have the knowledge necessary to
recognize the disease and know what
simple remedies are best. To meet / Ia
want at small expense the Book Pub
fishing House, 1874 Leonard street, New
York City, is sending postpaid a doctor

stamps. The book is Illustrated, con-
tains 59S pages, explains symptoms,
