The loss of 1852 an account which appears in
our local columns today is object lesson to the
people who have money. Just last week we called
attention to the loss of 81 500 by a Randolph
county farmer who thought it was safe i'll the mat
tress of his bed. Like the Fitzgerald Merchant
thief NAV never be known. The Randolph County
farmer and the Fitzgerald Merchant should have
had their money in some bank. 1t would have been
safer there and would have been worth more to
the business world than any where else they could
have possibly kept it. 1t was not only their duty
as matter of precauton to put their money in the
bank but it was their duty as business men. Banks
sometimes fail but they hardly ever fail to pay
the depositors even in the worst failures.
Only few weeks ago this Fitzgerald Mer-
chant fell out with the banks for issuing clearing
house certificates and Immediately withdrew his
money. If his example had been followed by all
the depositors the bank it would have been i'm
possible for them to get than 90 cents on the
dollar and their action would have ruined the
bank But fortunately for them and for the bank
and for Fitzgerald they did not take the same
view of it, and left their money where it is safe
and where:itis doing its part in our great CONNER
cial system We sympathise with the farmer and
the merchant who lost their money, but we cannot
approve their policy. If every farmer, aud every
merchant followed their example, the commercice
of the country would come to sudden and sensa-
tional halt, and more money would be lost in a
Fitzgerald enterprise. (Fitzgerald, Ga.) 1895-1912, 1907-12-12

an increase Of even one half Of one
mill would realize an income of *234, :
600. This is ON the basis in the last
assessment and the supposed increase
IN the assessment. 1t is always very
easy to work this proposition out on
paper, but the tax history Of this
state for the last eighteen Years will
show that as the taxable values in

taxable property Of $3.50 100000. the

Of the increase. The hospital for tn"
insane now takes 100000 instead
Of $4,000, and we are giving $780,
600 to the confederate veterans in
stead of 100000; then Winthrop col
lcgc and the increase to the other
state institutions take another $780,
600; then the legislature appropriated
$4,000 to high schools, and no doubt
at the next session it will be asked
that this amount be increased and Il

osBoRHs NEW FIELD.

What has long been looked for in journalistic circles has at last taken place-the retirement of Colonel Norris G. Osborn from the editorial chair of our esteemed contemporary, the New Haven Register, after occupying the po- s1tion for over quarter of a century. The colonel has become a part owner of the Journal and Courier, and will aid vigorously in conducting its fortdnes.
 The friends of Colonel Osborn have come to his relief and have placed him in possession of ample capital to con- duct journal according to his early training, and we trust that the result will not only prove pecuniary success, but it will be a power to influence pub lie opinion and to do great good in the community.
 The Darlington Publishing company and Mir. John B. Darlington are to be congratulated on the accession of Col onel N. G. Osborn to its staff, and the host of New Haven's business men who have formed business relations with the colonel are likewise to be congratulat- ed in identifying themselves with an honorable profession that is capable of accomplishing so much for the well fare of the city in which we live, and which we all love.-New Haven Union.

RR11qtoUs TROUBLES IN ENG

As council of despair and in order that the school room of the peoples children may no longer remain the cock pit for contending teeologians, says MT. Mcnamara, M. P, the gov ernment will have to insist that the state must confine it's function in pub lie education to the provision of purely secular teaching" The answer to the Archbishop of Canterbury's schemes whereby he is trying to force the gov ernment to take over the denomina- gional school buildings, pay rentals for them, and keep them in good structural repair for church uses at the same time, will be that the Free churches will range themselves alongside the Liberal party in hostility to the hered- itary and non-representative element in the British national legislature. They will have compelled large class different Or hostile to constitutional change to recognize that the heredita- ry house stands between them and re- ligious feeling" says the temperate Tribune. More important still they will make the mass of public opinion rallied on this fight available to the Liberal party and government for the whole work of democrats legislotion for England, including land tenure and taxation which lies before the party. At the great indignation meeting of the Free church ministers and laymen above referred to one of the most ac- ceptable speeches was that of the Rev. erend c. Silyerter Horne, who declared that it was "the duty of the House of Commons to restore the education bill to its original shape; then to hand in their list of five hundred liberal peers to the king and to demand that the measures which they were elected to pass should be passed into law.

WORTH A BARREL OF SERMONS.
 Three months ago the smart men go- ing down the llne' were loud and con- fident in their admiration of Ruef The matter was dismissed with a contemp-
 tuous They'll never convict Ruef; he's too foxy" To-day the same men are ready to bet to 1 that Ruef will go 70 the penitentiary, The idol of the ten- derloin, the god of the machine, is shattered, and none is left so poor to do him reverence.
 There is point at which smartness and foxiness, so much admired in the tenderloin becomes a sorry failure. If Ruef had been content with the petty graft that usually attends municipal administration he might be graftingyec. He and his paltry gang of boodiers would not be worth the notice of honest men-not worth the time and trouble to root them out. But Ruef's over reaching ambition was, not content with small profits. He wanted to get rich quick and was out for everything in sight, He made himself worth pow der and shot. With the appetite and disposition of rat, he aspired to be- come a dangerous beast of prey.
 Ruef in custody, up to lis neck in fel- ony indictments, is worth barrel of sermons. He is the living proof that when honest men set their hands to the work of roofing out the rascals they usually succeed. The smartness and the foxiness so much admired in the will not save them. San Francisco has cleaned out Ruefs kino before, and is ready to do it again. Our pioneer fathers took a shorter and sharper way, but the men of to-day will reach the same end with the same and keep within the law. Justice moves with leaden foot, but she is on her way,-San Francisco Call.

THE PRETENDERS.
Eighth Production of the Yale Dramat- ic Association Fin Is Favor at the Hyperion.

Eighth Production of the Yale Dramat-
 ic Association Fin Is Favor at the
 Hyperion.
 The closing performance of the much heralded Ibsen play, ''The Pretenders,' which the Yale Dramatic association has been pretty steadily touting for a month or two past, was presented at the Hyperion last night with much eclat-whateyer eclat may mean.
 "The Pretenders' was a good choice of title for Ibsen's play, and the play was a good choice of vehicle for the dramatic association. Note how beau tiful it all fits together. "The Pretend ers'' tells about the struggle of a couple of make-believe kings; it is a make believe historical drama, written in a make-believe Shakesperian form, and played by a make-believe company of actors. This llrsounds sufficiently arti- flcial but strangely enough the play, as given by a company of young col lege students who take themselves inn mensely in earnest, has a thoroughly convincing ring. Nothing is easier than the teetotal ruination of an Ibsen play, If it is committed to batch of bung- ling actors, but on the other hand, the work of scarcely any dramatist will re-
 iard the efforts of a serious, judicious
 ad intelligent body of actors with more triumphant success. That is why, in taking Ibsen, the Yale Dramatic asso- citation gave another example of it's all or nothing policy, which, however, 1t may eventuate in future years, has this season vindicated itself over and over again. It Is difficult to say who de- serves the more credit whether Frank Lea Short, whose weeks of patient coaching turned out a perfectly drilled and surprisingly well balanced com pany, or the college-boy actors them selves, who threw into the reading of their lines youthful vigor and declam- atory fire that a thousand rehearsals, per SC. could never have imparted. c. R. Hopkins, 1907, as the bishop of Oslo, e. L. Stark, 1907, as King Haakon Hdakonssen, were easily the best of the caste. MT. Hopkins has obviously made study of Henry Irving and has really entered into the spirit of that great mans acting, though with 1t he has un- Fortunately taken over in some measure Sir Henry's mannerisms also. MT. Stark, like Lear in his part, was every centimeter a king and delivered his lines with right regal rhetorical magni- fcence. Incidentally, let it be spoken, he was the only important member of the caste, who didn't hetray his birthplace in his alocution,
 Of the support of T. Achelis, 1908, as Earl Skule, easily led, If any criticism is to be made of his acting 1t Is that possibly he was a little too gentlemanly in his part On the whole there was a. thoroughly satisfying production of an ambitious play, and one which local theatergoers will be interested to set over against the forthcoming Harvard attraction "The Knight of the Burning Pestle."
 "Caparisons are odorous," as Dogber- ny was fond of saying, but we don't be- lieve the Johnny Reds can come up to the showing the local boys made last night.
