ADRIFT WITH. THE TIMES

A BALLAD OF THE WISE. The world is full of easy marks Enough to go around When one is swindled rest assured Another will be found. The chap who thinketh otherwise Is nothing but a dunce My tip to you is never do One person more than once. The densest man that eyer lived Will learn a thing or two, And should you try to string him twice He'll be fixed up for you. Then all your plans will come to grief, Defeated for the nonce My tip to you Is never do One person more than once. The hold-up game works like a charm When properly put on, We sew somebody up today, Tomorrow we are gone. Therefore, don't finger till too late In short, don't be a dunce. My tip to you is never do One person more than once.
 WHILE WE MAY.
 Reverses come to one and all,
 For that's an old refrain.
 We dream of happiness a while
 And then wake up again.
 A pessimistic turn of mind
 Brings trouble in its train.
 Let's dream of happiness a while,
 Fen tho we wake again. It is quite a fad now among refined burglars to leave a politely worded nott behind, stating that they much regre the necessity which forces them to dis regard the time<honored law of meun and teum.

SUPERIORITY. No matter what your neighbors say, It greatly comforts you To know you have more sense than they And more refinement, too. Phil H.

tai of w. L. Griffin Freight Con
ductor A. B. & A. was placed on
board the train for Atlanta, where
he was laid to rest beside other
loved ones. In another coach
were the following sisters and
brothers: Mrs. Anna Nall, Mrs.
R. P. Todd, Of Atlanta, Mrs. r. L.
Marshall and Mrs. w. r. Cherry,
of Wellston, r. f. Griffin, of Sa,
vannah and Mr.. Harvey B. Griffin
of Macon, and the bereaved widow
and seven children.
Among those children only two
belonged to the deceased and the
present Mrs. Griffin. Two were
hers by first marriage, two were
his by a first marriage, and one, a
child of his first wife, who was a
widow when he married her. The
tenderness and great heartedness
of the man was shown by the deep
grief of those children-nOW grown
for the man, who tho, he had not
a drop of their blood in his veins,
yet had loved, sheltered, and
cared for them as his very own.
Conductor Griffin was man of
massive proportions, but with the
tenderness of a woman. His voice

New-York tribune., 1907-10-08
INTERESTS ON THE PACIFIC.

Mr.. Taft's address at Toxic and its reference
to the interests of this and other nations on
the Pacific Ocean draw fresh attention To-
what has been called the ocean of the future
and TO the number and importance of the
countries which are settled or represented upon
its shores The Atlantic, the ancient "Sea of
Darkness" has for four centuries been the
great waterfront and waterway of the civilized
world, but it no longer has its former monopoly
of that distinction More and more the Pa
ciic is becoming the scene of commercial activi-
ties, and the obvious and inevitable trend Of
affairs is toward further marked increase Of
those activities positively and probably also
relatively though of course we are not to look
for any positive decline on the Atlantic.
The circumstance is not always realized that
most of the great nations of the world have I'M
portant frontages on the Pacific Ocean. The
United States both in itself and in its outlying
possessions, has a far more extended frontage
on the Pacific than on the Atlantic and the
Gulf, and its interests are far more widely dis
trlbuted on the Pacific. The same may be said
of the British Empire, which fronts upon the
Pacific with its two great domlnOns of Can
ada and New Zealand, It's Commonwealth of
Australia and innumerable other possessions
France has important Pacific frontage in
IndoChina and a number of islands. Germany
has an insular empire of considerable extent
and possibilities, while that OF Holland Is
enormous in extent and wealth-and forms. by
the way, one of the strongest grounds for Ger
many,s desire for the incorporation of the
Netherlands into the Teutonic empire. Rus
sias Pacific frontage despite its recent reduc-
ton, is still extensive and important, especially
because OF its connection with Europe by rail-
road. Japan and China are purely Pacific
powers. Nor must forget the other Amer
lean states which look out upon that ocean
Mexico, the Central American states, Panama
Colombia Ecuador Peru and Chill.
It would be idle and perhaps mischevous 10
speculate upon the possibilities of any one ma
tons securing actual dominance upon that
ocean. Spain once tried to make It a Spanish
lake, but England defeated her pretenslons.
Russia tried TO establish n monopoly OF the
northern part of 1t, but was forced by the
United States to recede from her eXtravagant
claims There is no more ground for the pri-
macy Of any one power there than there Is
on the Atlantic. But it is quite obvious that the
United States has certain natural and acquired
advantages which bespeak for it an interest
and an influence in the Pacific second TO no
other nation. It has a more extended coast line
on the Pacific than any other country, and 1t
is or will be the owner and custodian of the
gateway connecting the Pacific with the At
lantc. In view of these facts and their sig
nihcance, there can he no rational thought Of
any step which would impair our standing or
haudlcap our activities on that ocean.
New-York tribune., 1907-10-08
TRACTION INQUIRY RESULTS.

The interest aroused by Mr.. Qulgg's luminous
explication Of 'accelerating public opinion per
haps distracted attention from the real sgnifi-
cance OF his testimony, so far as the traction
inquiry is concerned. The Public Service Com
mission is interested chiefly in finding out what
the traction companies do with their money,
why they have not been able 10 afford TO give
the city a better service and by what economies
IN management they may be able 90 operate
more cars and stin earn reasonable dividends
Mr.. Quiggs testimony threw some light upon
the private disposition of funds. In four years
the general adviser" Of the street railway sys-
TEN in matters of extreme delicacy spent about
S2O0OOO, or $4,000 a year. None of the eX-
penditures were on legitimate street railway
business In running street railway it is not
necessary 10 accelerate public opinion or to
maintain q lobby in the state legislature Not
al OF Mr. Quigg's expenses were traced. but the
failure to find out just who were protected by
his "cash payments was unimportant for il
was shown that all of the money was Improp-
erly spent-wasted, so far as the public and the
stockholders were concerned-having been dis
bursed solely in the interests Of the speculative
group operating TO effect the merger That $50
900 a year spent by Mr.. Quigg would have paid
o per cent dividends on S1.OO0OOO in stock. or 1t
would have supplied and operated good many
cars. IT is not to be supposed that Mr. Ouigg
introduced the yellow dog into the AIetropol-
itan; indeed there is every reason for thinking
that IL the missing checks could be found similar
expenditures amounting to a million or more
could be traced through previous years.
So too Mr.. John B. McDonald's Testimony
yesterday showed where a big sum Of money
went that might have been used In paying divi-
denes or in running more cars Mr.. McDonaId
seems TO have been innocently accelerated" in
regard to the imaginary subways with which
the Metropolitan group thought Git to threaten
its rivals. A syndicate of insiders" was organ.
ized TO build the subways because the Met
ropoitan Securities had not the financial
strength TO dc it. Mr.. Mcdonald entered into
contract with the syndicate to build the lines
ana SUI another syndicate OF insiders was or
sanized to effect a traffic arrangement with a
pfoJected New Jersey tunnel, and it, too. had a
contract with Mr. Mcdonald. When this project
