Advice from a Georgia oreenbnekcr.

Information comes from Georgia that
President Roosevelt has summoned in
consultation that eminent hnancier. Tom

which have lately swung open 20 ]. Pier

OF or time. Mr.. ROosevelt's catholicity Of
tastes and talent for forgiving will again
be demonstrated TO a breathless world.
The man who, in 1896 was a mere Georgia
Cracker and Populist crank will break
the Presidential bread and give out a few
IDEAS on the state of the nations finances.
For the Laird Of Mountain Top is COM
ing 10 talk money. President Roosevelt
and l have had some correspondence on
the financial question: the upshot Of
which is that Mr. Watson has been asked

with eminent success. to his financial
views. Il viii earnestly press upon the
President said the Laird, THE danger
Of an asset currency TO be issued by the
national banks, and will urge him to
recommend TO Congress an act author
iz!ng the Issuance Of at least one billion
dollars OF greenbacks.' AT least bill
ion, Why not ten billion?
Mr. Roosevelt has a poor opinion Of
greenbacks, or nc did have in the DAYS
OF %, when he tried 10 set the tail of
the Populist ticket right on the fnan
Cial question. What has happened since
then to make il worth while TO hear a

But the Laird has more advice rather
pertinent TO the present situation. He
deprecates the issue Of Treasury certif-
Gates when If the President had only
known it, $1Oo01N0CO Of greenbacks might
have been fioated under authority OF war
time acts Of Congress. These would
bear no interest" says the Laird: would
form permanent part OF the currency.
and would therefore be "A permanent bene-
1T to the country" The Presidents ad-
visers, according TO Watson, got hold of
the wrong war legislation. They went
back no further than the Spanish war for
precedent when they should have gone
back to the civil war and the greenback
measures of that and a subsequent pc
Rod. But Mr.. Morgan got the Presi-
cents ear ahead OF the Georgia financiar.
il the currency has been inflated, as
many people insist. greenbacks have had
no part In it. We hope Mr.. Roosevelt
will he able to give the Laird Of Noun
tain Top an ineligible reason why.
Whether he accepts Mr. Watson's the
cries or not. the President evidently is
coming 10 share the general opinion that

MEN AND THINGS.

Capt. Pritchard of the new mammoth
Cunarder Mauretania has risen from a
humble beginner. A native OF Carnarvon,
he was left an orphan early in lie. and in
fulhllment OF his mothers last wish he
took up a sailors calling. He first became
cook on the eileen. a small Carnarvon
sailing vessel, in his fourteenth year.
After two and half years Capt Pritch-
ard entered the maritime service proper
and at the end OF twelve years was cap
tain and part owner OF a brig in the slate
trade. He subsequently made voyages in
sailing vessels to every part OF the globe,
and after twenty-one years Of sea life en-
tered the Cunarder service in 1879. In
the intervening twenty-eight years he has
commanded every Cunarder with the ex-
ception Of the Umbria and the Lusitania

Dr. Sarah Mayo. Of the Women's and

or any other university would be all the
better for the presence of women stu
dents. and speaking of the doctors who
opposed the movement she said. They
are always glad 10 have women help
them in operations as trained nurses
but are not willing that the same women
shall be present either as students or
fellow practitioners. The study Of the
body is science. an uplifting. noble
science IN that it is the study OF Gods
most perfect work. When the body is
approached by men or women whose vo-
cation Is medicine there can be nothing
unmanly or unwomanly about IL. Above
all there can be nothing base about IL

any doctor who thinks separate classes

STATE COLLEGES WANT MONEY.
They Knock for Admission co BENEFITS OF
the Carnegie Pension Fund.

The board Of trustees Of the Carnegie
Foundation for the Advancement OF Teach
ing held its annual meeting yesterday at
the Headquarters OF the foundation. S42
Fifth avenu The session was largely
devoted to a discussion OF the relation OF the
foundation to State universities.
This question rs OF tho most perplex-
ing that the trustees have to face. When
he established the foundation in 1905 Mr..
Cranegie wrote h trustees whOm he had
Relected that inasmuch as States n col
onial governments which have established
or mainly supported" educational institu-
lions might prefer that their relations
shall remain exclusively with the State
he could not presume to include them.
In accordance with this policy Mr.. Car
negie named no representatives OF State
institutions on the board.
In spite of this, on September 10, 1905. the
National Association Of State Universities,
through its executive committee. addressed
a letter to the trustees of the foundation
asking hat State universities be included
among the Institutions receiving grants
from the fund for retiring allowances. At
a conference Of the presidents Of the State
universities OF the middle West recently
held az the University Of Iowa a similar
request was drawn up and four representa-
tives OF the National Association OF state
Universities came on from the convention
of the National Association just concluded
80 W
the trustees.
This committee included President C. r.
Van Hise Of the University OF Wisconsin.
President G.. Z. Fellows of the University
of Maine, President Benjamin lde Wheeler
Of the University of California and DIR.
White Of the University of Georgia. At
the conclusion Of the meeting the question
referred 70 the executive committee.
which was asked to report on 1t 70 the
trustees.
The position Of the trustees is that the
Legislatures Of the various States ought to
provide for the instructorsin their own in
situations. The board Is willing TO assist.
however. by furnishing pensions, OF n per-
centage of them, for a short term OF years
until the universities can obtain legislation
for the purpose.
The only trustees absAnt from the meeting
were President Hadley Of Yale, who Is in
Germany, and President Thwing Of West
ern Reserve, who is in Pekin. President
Eliot of Harvard presided.
Henry s. P~ritchett. president or the
foundation. was the host at a luncheon
given the members of the board at Del
