Thinking Clubs.

Thinking clubs" are being organ
lied in Springfield, Mass. It is a
movement representing wholesale
reaction. There are altogether too ma
ny talking clubs and too few think
ing clubs. In the Springfield club the
thinkers think out loud, but their
thoughts never get into the newspa-
pers, which, we fear, will make
them unpopular with many persons
of light and leading who see no good
in anything which doesn't lead to
publicity. For them the old line is
true. Thinking is but an idle waste
of thought" and they do not waste
much of 1t. There are a number of
Massachusetts citizens and anti-im-
perialists who would look interesting
playing a thinking part A thinking
club" is just the place for them. -

Some objection has been made to
THE SUNS reference to deficit"
in the clty's funds, on the ground
that 1t does the retiring general
council injustice. Our only excuse is
that there is a deficit apparent on
the final balance, and THE SUN
must call a spade. a spade. II is true
that the general council paid of an
inherited deficit of some $4,000:
that deficit already existed in the
hospital fund, and It is perhaps
equally true, that had it not been
for the purchase and installation of
the equipment for the lighting plant,
and the big overdraft the board of
public works created in its funds,
there would have been no deficit:
but thus far we have only been re-
ferring to the matter incidentally.
When we get hold Of the annual re-
ports we viii have something to say
about "the deficit. anon. However,

Efforts Of societies, such as Israel
Zangwill, the Jewish leader, repre-
sents, are furthering the policy of the
national administration in directing
immigration rather than discouraging
it and exercising federal powers to
select desirable citizens instead of
prohibiting their entrance. Gang
willis idea is to bring Russian Jews
into the country by way of Galveston
instead of New York. He aptly puts
It that to the Immigrant New York
and America are synonymous" One Of
the great objections to immigration
arises from superficial observation
that foreigners COLOMBO in our great
cities and there perpetuate manners
and customs foreign to our habits and
ways Of thinking. They do not be-
come assimilated, but fall prey to
political ward healers, and breed a
race of anarchists. Our ancestors
were immigrants. The Mayflower
was the first immigrant ship. We have
an abundance of room for the OPP
pressed of all nations, but not in our
"Ghettoes." The room is in the wide
country, and the scattering of immi-
grants so that they may fall under
the influence of American social Gus
toms and conditions is the great
problem which we must set about

we may say this, the equipment OF
the lighting plant was economically
purchased, and while it apparently
cost the beard of public works over
500 the light to install the new
ones, and while as general princi-
pal we think a board should always
consider how much money It has ap-
portioned to its department and gov
ern itself according; yet, probably
the board Of public works may be
able to show for the big overdraft it
creattd, permanent public improve
ments that will justify its course.

Pure Blood Is Essential to Good
Health.

Dr. A. T. Still. the discovener Of
Osteopathy, stated many years ago,
that perfect circulation of blood con-
timing the proper food elements for
tissue nourishment was absolutely
essential for the maintenance Of
health, and all researches along bac-
THEOLOGICAL lines have proven with
out doubt the fact.
Perfect circulation is dependent
on normal structure. AS long as the
different parts of the human organ
ism are In proper relation to each
other, and we observe the laws of
Nature, the arteries and veins will be
unimpinged and the blood ciriulate
freely.
Pure blood is the best germiclde
known. Germs and their Ill effects
will disappear from the presence Of
pure blood.

Much fla sc deduction is INDUCED
in concerning the statement of an
Indiana traction president, who ac-
lnowledged that he is not earning
the large salary paid him. There are.
it is true, controlling heads of great
institutions that vote themselves ex-
orbitant salaries and practice econo-
mics in the hire of the workers; but
generally it may be said. the ac-
acknowledgement of an employee that
he is receiving too large a salary, Is
not the cue for a reduction in wages,
but cue for the entrance of his
successor. There is no limit to the
amount of money a man earns, ex-
cept his own capacity. There may be
a limit to the amount his employer
is justified in paying him, based on
the income of the business, but the
amount a man earns and the value
of his services depend on himself.
The Indiana traction company evil
IDENTITY needs a president and general
manager who can earn the salary.

TAX VALUES OF RAILROADS
Attention Called to Discrepancy in Sworn Statements
and Tax Returns.

ATLANTA, July 1S.-In a special
message to the legislature Governor
Hoke Smith calls attention to the
amazing fact that the Central of Geor-
gia railroad pay taxes on tangible pro-
perty and franchises assessed at less
than one-half and one-third of the
valuation of the officials of both roads
swore to in the Federal court when
they resisted certain freight reduc
tions made by the commission.
This year, Governor Smith says, the
Central returned its tangible pro-
perty and franchises at $16,823, $50
and the Southern at $14,8S4,923. Mr..
Smith quotes from the sworn testi-
mony of Vice President w. A. Win
burn of the Central at the Federal
court hearing, when his road was re-
sisting a rate reduction, when he
said
Your orator AYERS that the cost of
building it's lines and therefore pres
ent minimum value of its lines of
railway in Georgia and equipping the
Americus times-recorder. [volume] (Americus, Ga.) 1891-current, 1907-07-19

same is $33 ,666 999."
Vice President J. M. Culp Of the
Southern swore to this statement:
Your orator AYERS that the cost of
reproducing at this time and there
fore the presnt actual minimum value
of its said lines of railway in Georgia
and of equipping the same is $4S,150,-
000." Governor Smith calls attention
tothe fact that the Central's returns is
about half of what its official swore
it was at the hearing and the South
ern's less than a third.
He also draws attention to the fact
that the Southern railway is now re-
sising an assessment by the comp
troller general of twenty-six million
dollars.
Governor Smith says he does not
believe the Southerns property in the
state is worth $48,OO0,OO0, but he says
he thinks it should pay whatever val
uation it swears to in court. Gov
ernor Smith suggests remedial legis-
lation along this line.

WOULD DEFER THE DUSTY SPELL
Atlanta Anxious to Extend DrOuth
Coming.

ATLANTA, July 18.-The Atlanta
Clearing House would defer putting
the prohibition bill into effect for one
year from next January in order that
an adjustment may be made of the fl
nancial interests of the state.
The Chambers of Commerce over
the state will be asked to cooperate
with the Atlanta Clearing House.
The prohibition bill will be read in
the house a second time Friday and on
next Wednesday will be read a third
time and placed on its passage.
A two-thirds vote of the house
would be required to take the bill out
of It's regular order, and according to
Representative Covington, this will
not be attempted.
