The proposition for the State
to aid in building better roads is
one worthy of serious considera-
ton. Money could not be spent
for improvements that would
yield so much, and a tax could
not be levied that would come
back with so much good to the
people who would pay it. A
small State tax for public roads
would yield a good sum, and if
property distributed would give
encouragement, and result in
great improvements. True, the
cities would not share directly
from this tax. but the building
and developing of the country
would largely repay for this spe-
cial tax since all roads lead to

Governor Wilson was inaugu-

Governor Wilson was inaugu-
rated under a dark sky, and the
darkness of the day was but a
shadow of the real conditions
that confront him and his adj
ministration in bringing peace
and prosperity in the tobacco
districts of the commonwealth,
where both life and property are
threatened by mobs. His open
declaration that he would be
Governor of all the people, and
not be swayed from the path of
justice and duty by party passion
is highly commendable, and we
trust that he and his party asso-
ciates will live up to this patriot
ic position. Kentucky's cup of
bitterness has been too full, and
her vile of wrath too much in ev-
idence to promote that love and
unity that should exist with true
\Kentuckians. The a m p al g n
with all of its inconsistencies,
should be buried in the grave OF
forgetfulness. The arder and
enthusiasm of the majority par
ty, showing a minority in the last
conflict, should cease to be dis
cordant to an upright, honest
and progressive administrative
effort, such as the Governor has
faithfully promised. The News
hopes to see good come from the
present administration; it hopes
to see peace and, order restored
in the disorderly districts, and
love and good will prevail from
the Big Sandy to the Mississippi.
Tie people have been too long I'M
der the fire of partisan passion;
too ready to stand and defend any
means or.measures advocated or
resorted to by political leaders.
The stronger party has been de-
throned, for the time being, and
the weaker put in charge. Pa
triotismgshould now assert itself,
not only with the rulers, the par
ty in power, but with every true
citizen of the,State.. 1t will re-
quire all the love to obliterate the
hatred. and all the patriotism to
overcome.mean partisan passion
that has broken faith with all
that is good and wholesome for
party victory. Hers hoping that
the Governor will be true to his
pledges, and that blessings may
rest on every section of the State.

Congressman Edwards, of this
district, has come to the front in
the aid of prohibition, in offering
a bill to aid States in prohibiting
the. sale of spurious, yinous and
malt liquors, as follows;
''Be it enacted by the Senate and
House of Representatives of the United
States Of America in Congress assem-
bled, that all spurious, vinous and malt
liquors transported into any State or
Territory, or remaining therein for use,
consumption, sale or storage therein,
shall, upon arrival in such State or
Territory, be subject to the operation
and effect of the laws of such State or
Territory enacted in tbs exercise of its
police powers to the same extent, and
In the same manner as though such
spurious, vinous and malt liquors had
been produced in such State or Terrific
ry, and shall not be exempt therefrom
by reason of being introduced therein,
in original packages or otherwise"
This bill is one that should en-
list the hearty, enthusiastic and
immediate support of prohibition
lists. Mr.. Edwards should not be
left to fight this battle alone,
for it means more than any
measure yet introduced. In ad-
dition to the above, Congressman
Bennett and Langley, of this
State, have offered a bill prohib-
iting the Federal Government
from issuing licenses in dry dis
drictricts. The tire m e n d GU S
scope and effects of such legisla-
ton is apparent, and if the peo-
pie are in earnest, who have
fought so effectively in the past
for the suppression of liquor, fail
to back up the Congressman from
this State on these measures, the
failure, if they fail, must rest on
the peoples Indifference and stu
pidity. We do not propose to
discuss the merits of the above
mentioned bills, but merely to
call The attention of the people to
the Importance of aiding in their
passage. The News has on va
rious occasions, stated that such
Legislation was needed; that it
would be the strongest and most
effective stroke that could be
made to arrest the sale and use
of intoxicants. We trust that
the people of this section will
meet and give our Congressman
their moral support in such a
way as not to be doubted or mis-
leading.

ESCAPE OF PARTY WAS
THAT OF A MIRACLE.
GeOrgidnS at Scene of
Wreck.
ILLNESS OF MRS. ERNEST CUTS
Alone Prevented Georgia Party From
Taking the Inflated Train at
Los Angeles and Probably
Saved Their Lives.
ILLNESS OF MRS. ERNEST CUTS

But for the illness of Mrs. Ernest A.
Cults, who accompanied the Georgia
Shriners to Los Angeles, the Georgians
would have been aboard the tourist
train which was wrecked Sunday and
in which so many of the tourists lost
their lives.
Mrs. Cults, while resident of
Savannah, was reared in Americas,
as was Mr.. Cults, and many relatives
and friends here will be deeply inter
ested in the story of their narrow
escape from the recent fearful
catastrophe.
With a party of Savannahians, they
are now in California.
The party had planned to go to San
Francisco from Los Angeles by the
coast route and thence to the Yosemite
valley. They were to leave on the train
which was wrecked,
A telegram from Mr.. Cults stated
that the illness of Mrs. Cuts necessi-
tated a change of plans and, instead OF
going with the other tourists, they re-
manned over in Los Angeles a day,
thus escaping the catastrophe. They
will arrive in San Francisco this morn
ing.
Thus the illness of Mrs. Cntts caused
the change ofplans and escape from the
wreck. There have been two wrecks
to Shrine special trains on this trip,
party escaped.

GEORGIA TECH PAPERS

ed on Application.

In accord with the custom in North
ern and Western colleges, the Geor-

the plan of sending entrance exami-
nation papers to prospective students
in the various towns of the State
Should any young man desire to take
these entrance examinations, without
going to the expense of visiting At
lanta, if he will write to President K.
g. Matheson, of the School of Tech
nOlOgy, arrangements will be m ade
for the examination. Either the Coun-
ty Commissioner or the County
superintendent of Education will be
requested to hold the examinations
the last week in May, on dates to be
specified, and the applicants papers
will be duly forwarded by the exami-
ming officer to the School in Atlanta
where they will be examined and the
candidate notified of the result. This
system will save useless expense to
candidates, and will enable them to
know definitely in June whether they
will be admitted to the School of
Technology in the following Sep
TENDER. This plan has been worked
with great success in the Northern and
Western states and will doubtless be
appreciated by young men in Geor-
gia.

Should ministers who grow gray in

question was apparently answered in
the affirmative by the Atlanta Metho-
dist ministers at their weekly meeting
yesterday. Rev. j. II. Fakes, one of
well known Methodist
brought up the subject for
as to whether ministers lose
their influenc and power with declin-
ing years. 1t appeared to be the ac-
cepted theory that they do, to the eX-
tent that the meeting passed an affirm
alive resolution. 1t did not state.
however, what should be done with
aged ministers. However, the MethO-
dists have a superannuated fund to
take care of this situation.

DAILY COST OF A CHEAP CIGAR
What 1t Means tOd Young Man in

Here is short sermon that young
men would do well to read and follow
the advice given: mo young man
starting out for himself, being DEEPEN
dent upon his own exertions, can afford
unnecessary expenses. He must deny
himself extras, or always remain poor,
Even five cent cigar each day will
amount to S18.25 in one, year, and one
who saves that sum will be much
ahead of the one who spends it. And
the habit of saving will be worth
everything. If he saves S18.25 each
year, only putting it at six per cent
simple interest, it would in twenty
years amount TO $50. So much for
one little triffle of Indulgence. He
who would in a few years be indie
pendent, and not envy the capitalist"
