Letters to The Editor
The Little Father.

Editor The Advertiser:
 When a man is unlucky enough to be born with the conviction that he IS irrevocably and unqualified his bro. ther's keeper, and with an electrical infiamed conscience, which demands ln- stant discharge of the responsibility: when nature forgets to temper this misfortune with that elusive quality which in women we call tact. and in men horse sense. that man Is without doubt sorrow to his friends and menace to our country.
 lives who has higher regard for the great office of President of the United States than myself. To look at 1t calm ly, as it is now, raises the question .n my mind where the end of it all will be
 am firm believer in the people, and while they may go wrong some times, they do not stay wrong all the time.
 The infiamed conscience of President Roosevelt is calculated to make one believe that the people can live no longer without a little father, and like the Emperor Of Germany. he believes he would make a good s;, one; ,n rov Arnmental matters. Be good. Raise large families, says Roosevelt, take my advice, of which I always have on hand full supply for everybody, for
 From Washington to Roosevelt our Presidents have been lawyers or soi- diers. Roosevelt Is neither. True he served in the Spanish-American war. The press and magazine writers. and their kodaks, made the lime light" shine to Roosevelts wonderful advant- age. That he has courage no one will question. That he has the balance wheel that our lawyer and soldier Presidents have had. no one believes That he is honest goes without saying. Why should lie not be. We have never had a dishonest President, and he Is entitled to no credit for this character istic. That he thinks he is the whole thing" that he Is the actual guardian of the people, he fully believes. From birth to marriage. from marriage to the grave he is offlcious with suggest ions and advice.
 As safe. sane judge of what Is le4 gal. constitutional and just for the people he has been a conspicuous fuil- ure, as 1t Is almost sure the coming session of Congress will not adopt his radical views upon public questions. It mag pass a rate bill. a meat inspect ioffsbill. and other things he may rec ommend, but they will not pass such bills at he will recommend. Should they do so 1t would be most dangerous leg islation.

Poor Oklahoma." remarks The Pittsburg Sun. ''She may come fin and be hanged to her. for all of this admin istration. She has stubbornly refused to take the advice of the Counsellor in-General to the Universe. even though he sent his chief mouthpieces to bear his message to her stiff-necked people. Her weird and wonderful constitution, whereby her people have tried to make themselves equal to law as it is made and construed by trusts and special privileges, be upon her own head: This new State has already brok en about ev- cry precedent known in her march to Statehood. and her future doings will be watched with much interest, if not also a good deal of sympathy, by those whose State constitutions and laws seem to be made only to protect pow CTS that prey upon the people. If the Oklahoma way works, look out for an epidemic of revising State constitu- tions.'

THE CENTRAL SALE.
Made More Than Month Ago For De-
 livery in February.

Made More Than Month Ago For De-.
 livery in February. New York Special to Savannah News.
 I have just been able to get the in- formation in respect to the sale of the Central of Georgia Railway for which you wired. I find that the road was sold to E. H. Hartman about a month ago, with the understanding that 1t should be delivered in February. The recent furry in financial circles In New York brought the fact of the sale to the surface sooner than was intended.
 AS far as can learn, MT. Hartman paid a considerable advance on the price paid to the Southern by Thorne and Perry. There were three bidders for the property, namely, the New York, New Haven and Hartford Rail- road the Rock Island and MT. Harrt- man. The Rock Island wanted 1t Fer connection with the Atlantic Seaboard. The New York, New Haven and Hart ford wanted it for the purpose, main ly, of controlling the Ocean Steamship Company.
 The road was also a desirable prop cry to that corporations because of the fact that it permeates the section that furnishes a large amount Of cotton to the New England mills. It is sup posed that Mir. Hartman bought the Central of Georgia for the Illinois Gen.
  ingham.
 There is some speculation as to whe- ther or not the Illinois Central would confirm the purchase if MT. Fish should be successful and the Illinois Central shouldn't want to take the Central of Georgia, Mir. Hartman might have a railroad on his hands for which he would have no use The opinion here, however, is that he would have no diff ficulty in disposing of it if he desired to get rid of it. Doubtless either the Rock Island or the New York, New Haven and Hartford would gladly take 1t at the price that Hartman is to pay.
 have made some inquiries as to whe- ther the Central of Georgia would be merged with the Illinois Central In the event the sale to Hartman gives the Georgia to the Illinois corporation. and I find that the belief is that the Geor- gia corporation would continue to be operated as a separate property, but that the two corporations would be made mutually beneficial to each other. That the Central of Georgia has been sold to MrA Hartman to be transferred 10 him in February next there doesn't , seem to be any doubt.

Truclling to the Bryan MaGia.

St. Louis Host-DiSpatch
 Governor Johnson of Minnesota, one of the few Democrats holding office in the Northern States. and who for that reason has been spoken of appfovingly as a possible candidate for the Presi- dency, makes haste to disavow ambitl on and to say that if MT. Bryan wants the nomination he should have 1t.
 If we do not misunderstood his words. Governor Johnson's attitude Is like that of Governor Folk. Both are in position to entertain reas- enable and worthy aspirations to higher ofIlce. and yet they do not ven ture to assert themselves. They are deferentlal to Mir Bryan to q degree that would be considered sycophantish If there were not better explanation of if.
 These men are not toadying to Bryan. They are counting the Populists with the long and gory knives. who will the terrorism which this devoted band has inspired in the Democratic Party! With the Populists 1t Is Bryan-or do. feat. With everybody else 1t Is Bryan and defeat.

 This condition of affairs can have only one end, and that Is the extinct lon of the Democratic Party. Therc may be a Bryan party for time. but that will pass away with the man.

 sRailroads in Tight Place.
 T have noticed for some time in the papers announcement that different railroads were cancelling contracts which had been made for extension and for new engines and new cars and also terminal improvements and given as excuses the impossibility of raising funds in the money centers, and I won dered if 1t was positively true that they could not raise money. On a re- cent visit to New York l learnevi It was a positive fact that the railroads of the country could not raise money on their collaterals for any purpose The reason given was the agitation ot unfayorabIe Legislation on the part of Congress and the States, which has dis turbed conAdence to that extent that no securities could be placed in Eu- rope or tr, the money centers of the limited States. Now. f this situation and condition be true, the people at large will suffer the consequences of such a condition more and more each wear, until confidence is restored
 T hope this question Will vet be handled conservatlvely and that all inc terests will be properly protected in the final adjustment. It can only be done by Iroad andA fair minded men who will properly respect the rights Of the people and the railroads."

"WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 6, 1907.
monr ABSURD LEGISLATION.

The Louisiana Legislature has been called to meet in extra sessions and one of the objects. as announced in the call Is ito enact law to oust foreign corporations that transfer from a State to a Federal court any litigation brought against them" The Hartford Times calls this "poppycock legisla- ton" and says:
 Several Southern States have enacted Legislation outlawing foreign corpor- ations which as defendants in suits instituted in State courts ducted in United States tribunals But laws of this. sort probably aren't worth the white paper on which they are written. The right to nave certabn an Federal courts Is constitutional right Tons and carloads of State Legislation cannot upset or abridge the right. The scope of Federal courts may not be limited or determined by the States. To outlaw a foreign corporation for choos- ing to exercise fundamental Gight is p Regislation of the sort which Lou fsiana proposes to enact and which sev- eral other corporation-hatin States have already enacted may minister to the enjoyment and amusement of the affected commonwealths, but the use- lessness and impropriety of such acts are obvious.
 There has of late been quite fad for this sort of legislation, especially in the South. and it would seem that there is to be no rest from it. It ap- pears that those who are responsible for it learn nothing from observation and experience. They cannot see that laws of this kind cannot be enforced nor do they seem able to understand that such legislation, if it could be made effective would work serious harm to the States and their progress What the extra session of tho Ala bama Legislature may do or attempt 10 do cannot be foreseen, but it is to be hoped that the members have learn ed by this time that they can't drive the Federal courts out of the State nor nullify their constitutional powers.

by Downs and all who read the report must admit that the resentment and discomfort of the Indians was just what might have been expected. The trouble would never have occurred if the Indians had been treated fairly and justly. and this Is but another example of Indian troubles caused directly by oppression. Will it ever cease? Per- haps not. as, long as there are any In- dians who are not citizens of the Unit . ed States.

Once more they have made estimates of the cost of the Panama Canal, and according to The Hartford Times they now find it will be $264,OOO, 900. which is a hundred millions or so in excess of the original estimates. But this estimate leaves out of account the changes in the plans admitted to be necessary in order to provide for the coming big steamships. No wonder Chairman (to bel Tawney, of the House Committee on Appropriations, ridicules the idea of providing lot of money next winter for the canalization of the Mississippi and the drainage of all the swamp lands in the southwest, to which Mir. Roosevelt has so enthusiastically committed himself.

A serious breach has arisen between the Ute Indians at Thunder. Butte Sta tion, s. D., and their agent Major Downs, a hostile collision being like ly at any moment according to the reports of Capt. Carter J. Johnson. an army officer, who was sent to the cate the Indians who have unlimited confidence in him. According to Cap tain Johnson, the Indian agent and himself are at cross purp oses and his report appeals to the authorities to support him and cause Major Downs to abate the harsh treatment of the In dIans. The report says that the In dans objected to sending their chill dren to a distant boarding house, re- fusal being based on the ground that Captain Johnson told them that the children would be sent to school at
 Captain Johnson says that the agent has cut rations in half, the Indians are very hungry, women and children sut- fering. they believe they have been un- justly treated and the Indians are sim Cere in their statement that they wish to live in peace. thpt Agent Downs re- fused to consider the lndianss promise to comply with his orders and com nands, and that the application of 'harsh and severe remedies" is not the best policy.
 Here is another and not uncommon instance of the beginning of Indian disturbances an instance if Captain Johnson is to be believed, where the fault is plainly with the agent of the Government No matter how it ends, whether in open war or in the sulky submission of the Indians, the blame must rest on the Government. John ston's statement clearly shows that The Indians were oppressed and wronged

What is Catarrh? a Dangerous DIsease Affecting
 Thousands of People,


 It is an inflammation of the mucous membrane, and may affect the nose, throat, stomach, bowels, or bladder. NASAL CATARRH is most common, often coming on so gradually that it has a firm hold before 1t is suspected. Catarrh Is aggravated by colds, but depends on impure blood. When chronic it is liable to develop into con- sumption. It is therefore very serious. The true remedy for catarrh is Hoods Sarsaparilla, because it purifes the blood, and. removes the cause, effecting radical and permanent cures.
 Begin treatment at once with Hood's SaFsapanIIa In usual liquid form or chocolated tablets known as SarSAtab8s 100 doses. AptIseplets or catassrl9ts promptly sweetep breath, Price boe. Druggists or promptly by mall. c. L Hood Co. Lowell, Mass.
