Opposition to Foreigners.

Atlanta, Ca, May 15-The Farm
ers' Union of Georgia has gone Off
cially on record as opposing the pres
ent immigration movement in this
state.
Today about 300 warehousemen.
county officers and business agents OF
the union met at the capitol A res
olution condemning the immigration
movement and calling on the coming
general assembly to make any appro-
priation to further the movement OF
the Georgia immigration Society was
introduced by Colonel w. L. Peek of
Rockdale county, and passed by un-
animous vote.
The union opposes immigration on
the ground that undesirable citizens
will be brought into the state; that
they will crowd the native Georgians
out of the factories, and that the adj
mission of so many will increase the
production of cotton and lower the
price Resolutions were also passed
asking senators and states, Congress
and Senate TO do all in their power
to restrain the tide of immigration to
the United States.

In dispatch from Rome the cor
| respondent of the London Times, says
he learns the pope has issued the
decree intrusting the entire revision
of the Vulgate to the Ben.dictine
Order. This is the most important
decision yet announced, the CORES
pondent continues as an outcome OF
the Biblical Commission appointed
toward the end of the ponfihcate of
Leo XIII.
In an editorial article the Times
says it is difficult to overestiinate the
importance of this STEP mo book,
the paper declares, has exercised a
wider and more powerful influence
in molding the faith, morals, thought
and traditions of the literature of the
European world than the Latin YER
sion of the Scriptures. which we know
as the Vulgate. For 1900 years it
has been setting it's press upon the
lives and the whole mental heritage
of countless millions of men,"
The paper adds the step is a bold
one. but it will be hailed with satisfac-
ton by many within as well as with
out the Church of Rome.

Fines Trust $42,75o.

Pleas of guilty cost thirteen cor
porations and Frederick. Holbrook
fines aggregating s42,75o Monday
when Federal Judge Kenesaw M
Lands handed down his final decis-
ion in the case of the school and
church furniture combination, charg-
ed with conspiring to restrain trade
in violation of the Sherman antitrust
law
The court preceded the sentence
with a scathing denuciation of the
combine and declared that the Law
on this subject was inadequate.
Referring to the methods of max
ing STRAW" bids, Judge Lands used
the words Contemplate" and mas
ty," and asserted that any self-re-
speeding man would rather dig bitches
at $3.50 day than engage in the less
dignifed occupation of mulcing the
trustees of little churches and schools
Frederick A. Holbrook, promoter
of the combination, was given the
maximum fine of $1,000 on each OF
the two indictments, as was also the
American seating company and the A
H. Andrews Company, the largest
concerns associated in the combina-
ton, directed by Holbrook as presi-
dent of the Prudential club.
In the cases of the eleven remain
ing defendants Judge Lands exercis-
ed clemency because of his belief in
the pleas of near-bankruptcy" adj
vanced by them. These were fined
sums ranging from se,25o down to
$500.
The case of the E. H. Stafford
Company, which has disclaimed all
connection with the combination in a
demurrer, will be taken up later

Blame Equality for Married Woe.

London, May 21.-The remark b,
Magistrate Fordham during the hear
ing of case in the North Londor
Police court to the effect that a
woman ought to allow her husband to
revise her visiting list, has led to- a
burning controversy rushing into
which, another magistrate, indorsing
Fordham. says:
I'm almost every case of domestic
trouble in my court the cause may
be found in the husbands submission
to his wife. This is a perversion of
the natural order of things. Many
years experience has taught rue that
the old Testament order is the safest
for human happiness. The wife must
be the subject of her husband. even
when the husband is unworthy of re-
spect or veneration She must yield
to him in all points. Otherwise there
will be trouble sooner or later 1t is
a fashion to talk about mutual regard
and abs clute equality BIZ. it rarel
works in practice. If woman is not
prepared to honor and obey her hus-
band, she ought not to have married
him."
A prominent London clergyman
concurs mainly in this view. but adj
vocates mutual Ill Outstanding con-
corning men whom the wife is en-
titled to receive. A lady in charge
of the headquarters of the suffraget-
ties emphatically dissented from the
magistrates opinion. She upheld alb
solute equality between wife and hus-
band. She said:
"The only arrangement is the mu :
ual one. The marriage service. with
its love, honor, and obey is an an
achronism. The wife is entitled to as
much liberty as is the husband"
1t is noteworthy that the express
ers of opinions on the subject are re-
luctant to divulge their names.

Editorial Meet. =

Hon. James p. Goodrich is making
the rounds of the state calling the
editors of Republican papers to ban
quets and good times generally, pre-
dent Fairbanks, when he knows full
we'll it would be suicidal for any man
to attempt to secure place on the
state delegation, who was not a full
fiedged Fairbanks man. The real fact
of the matter is that Goodrich is hold
ing these meetings in his own behalf,
to feel of the public pulse for bis own
standing as a candidate for governor
next year.
The South Bend Times in speak
ing of the netting in that city noted
the absence of W. G. Hendricks OF
this paper and wondered why this
was. 1t is easily explained as Mr..
Goodrich well knew after the bull
doing tactics employed in the chair
manship matter in this county last
year that Mr.. Hendricks would be
anything but a Goodrich man and
that was the only kind he wanted
present. If Mr.. Goodrich would
make as many blunders over the mat
ter of his election as governor as he
did as state chairman last year, this
state would go ten thousand Demo

A Building That Forever Stands.

The house built on the sand falls
when the mighty storm beats upon it
The house built on the rock will
withstand storm after storm, but it
too, must at last yield to the destruc-
tive hand of time. Yet we may builc
Ia building that can defy storms and
tempests and may even laugh at the
power of time This building is char
acter.
Emerson says: Character is more
than intellect. A great soul will BE-
strong to live as we'll as to think
Goodness outshines genius as the sur
makes the electric light cast shad
ow."
Wealth is not character, but is, or
the other hand, very often the cause
of a ruined one. Learning is no,
character Largeness of mind, love
of truth and honesty, delicacy oil
man, tact and energy, may all be
lacking in person who is well edu-
Gated. Reputation is not character
You may be held in very high esteem
by the world, still your character BIZ
worthless.
Character. therefore, is not what ;
man has in the way of wealth, learn
ing or fame. 1t is what the man
really is. In other words, it is the
image which he cut upon our life.
Now, there are some things which
are essential to the building of a gen
uine character. One of thee is indus
try Idleness is the author of all mis-
chief. In the race of life, industry
always wins.
Another element in the building Of
character is cheerfulness. 1t is a fine
art to be able to get comfort and
sweetness out of all circumstances
and he who has formed the habit Of
looking at the bright, happy side o
things has a great advantage over
the person who is always finding tho
dark side.
Purity and truth are still other ele-
menfs in this building of character
Everything that corrupts the heart
should be avoided. Pure thoughts re
fine the countenance. and there i
nothing which the world admires Sc
much as truth, for it at once shows
that strength of character in which
all are willing to conhde-Selected

Handed Them a Lemon.

The editor sat in his office, whence
all but him had fled, anu he WISHED
that every last dead-beat was in his
grave-stone dead His mind then
wandered far away to the time when
he should die, and his royal editorial
soul should go scooting to the sky,
when he'd roam the fields of paradise
and sail DER jasper seas, and all
things glorious would combine his
every sense to please. He thought
how then he'd look across the great
gulf, dark and dreary, that'll yawn
between his happy soul and those
who swindled here, and when for
water they would call, and in agony
they'd caper, he'd shout to- them.

due that's on your paper"-Ex.

Council Proceedings.

The city council met in special ses-
sion, Friday evening.
The subject of the Mutual franchise
was broughgt up. The mayor stated
for council, that much time had beer
spent by that body over said fran.
chise, and that as several clauses
were under discussion, it could not be
decided until next meeting.
The company was asked about what
number of subscribers they would es-
innate having within a year. Mr.
Lauer replied for the company that
they expected to have about 400 city
and $50 farmer subscribers, within
that time. He stated that at their
public meetings there had been two
or three hundred farmers who ex-
pressed a willingness to take phones
at once. He also declared for the
company, that rural lines would be
built as fast as they were requested
The question of having poles in the
city, painted, was also discussed
Probably the franchise will be decid-
ed at the next council meeting.
A remonstrance against the Thayer
street sewer was presented, signed
by Ga per cent. of residents, but &C
per cent. of property owners failed tc
demonstrate, and so the sewer will
be constructed from Nursery to- Dix
on street.
Notices we're ordered to be served
on Mrs. Otto E. Titus, of Williams
street, Mrs Klinger of Water street,
and Mr.. Zumbaugh of Water street
to build cement walks.
With this the council adjourned.

THAT Was Business"

Judge Lands is shocked and dis
gusted that the good, clean looking
men, who were prominent members
of the seating trust should have made
speciality of straw or dummy bids
in conducting their illegal business.
When seats were needed Tor school.
the trust first decided which of the
firms composing it should have the
contract That firm put in a bid at
a figure which would give it an ex-
cessive profit. Several of the other
firms put in higher bids. The object
was to sweeten the dose for the
school officials-to make them be-
lieve that there was active competi-
ton and that the lowest bid, high
though it seemed, was not really un-
reasonable.
1t seemed to Judge Lands that any
man with self-respect would rather
dig in a ditch at a dollar and a half
a day than attempt to throw dust in
the eyes OF the members of country
school board by means of an elabor-
ate system of bogus bids. The meth
DDS he criticised are indeed disrepu
utable. They do not differ in prin-
ciple from those of the ordinary con-
|fidcnce operator. The intent to de-
ceive is manifest. But the men who
employed those methods did SO un-
and cheerfully and prob
ably were surprised and panied when
Judge Lands said they would have
been more respectfully employed at
ditch digging.
One of the witnesses for the gov
eminent in one of the Chicago Y'his-
ky trials-a rectiher who had turned
Is .e's evidence-admitte on the
stand that a number of affidavlts he
had made as recti6er were false. He
admitted that he had perjured himself
again and again But when the coun-
sci for the defense asked him how he
expected the jury to believe the evil
dence of a man who confessed that
he had repeatedly sworn falsely, the
witness was ready with an explana-
ton He disposed of the little matter
of false swearing to affidavits with
| IL. remark, THAT was business
So the men who organized and ran
tire seating trust were and probably
still are of the opinion that their sys-
| tenn of dummy bids was business"

boards. 1t helped to make trade. 1t
produced profits, and it would not do

of anything which did that. Indeed.
linen who will in deliberate defiance
of law organize a trust could not be
expected to boggle at trihe spch as
straw bids, which have been in conf
mon use for many years, though they
are not so ancient as straw balls or
straw bonds.
Probably Judge Lands does not
know to what a degree the argument
THAT was business" is an opiate fo-
the conscience of the business man

|vious courses-especially if his law
