POSSIBLE VOLCANOES.

As a former member of presiden- tial Cabinet, Hoke Smith, Governor of Georgia must have a deep knowl- edge of the law in the matter than he evidences in his "me too" stand against the injunction applied for in the federal court against the enforce ment of the two-cent railroad fare law of his State. He must know that the constitution of the United States is su- preme, that if the Georgia State law is constitutional it Is the law of the State of Georgia, and that If it Is not constitutional it is no law whatsoever. He must know that the constitution ality of that law is to be determined by the court to which application for the restraining order has been made. That is the sum and substances of the Georgia situation, and for Governor Smith to exclaim that he will disre- gard the restraining order and enforce the reduced rates at once, is to con- cess, not so much an ignorance of the law in the case, but a determination to appeal for cheap support which can only come from those az ignorant as he himself would appear to be, but for the fact of his experience, Cover nor Smith and those Of similar poilti- \ cal intent seek to make mountains 1 from mole hills The danger is that the mountains might become vol

YALE'S NAME I'VE FAYORITE
FOR BOOMING PURPOSES
Far Ahead of Harvard and Princeton, in New York
 at Least.

Yale is still strong in New York, at least with the tradesmen. That the
 name is one to conjure up patrons with seems to be the opinion of all sorts and manners of people who just
 want to give tip to the subconscious- ness of the passer-by of the quality
 of the work they do or of the goods they have to offer So Yale man in
 New York may have his molars ex- tracted at a Yale dental parlor and
 he may get his shirts laundered, per-
 haps not in the good old way of the
 good old days at New Haven, but at
 any rate beneath the blue sign which
 sports in white the letters of the
 university which gives a home touch, 1 if not the domestic finish. He may wear Yale pants" and Yale suspend CTS, and if he is particularly enthu-
 siastic grad he may insist on his wife or his children wearing Yale
 waists, and they may consent, as the
 garments are not all made of a bit of
 blue. If he has the realty fever he may buy property through Yale land company and if the scars of foot
 ball have got to him beyond the med |al-of-honor stage, he can have his face refurbished by experts operating under the direction of an artist whose surname signifies football and rowing .prowess.
 The New Haven university certainly has it on it's chief rivals, Harvard and Princeton in this particular in old New York, which has a temperament- al disposition to shout for the winners. New YorlSs output from Cambridge
 may get an eclectic finish on it's cuffs at the washing and ironing establish jment marked by near-crimson sign
 bearing the name of it's alma mater,
 but the water used In the finishing
 process Is no more that of the Charles than is that in the Princeton cleansing
 establishment that of the Raritan Canal or the untainted Carnegie Lake. Undistilled of the weeks wash, the tradesmen do not seem to think so highly of the custom-drawing power of the names of these institutions as of their more regularly victorious ri- val. Columbia doesn't count at all for the name has much significance apart from it's use as the appellation of a higher institution of learning, though the name is applied to all sorts
 of industries. The other institutions which have names distinctive of them selves don't impress the local seekers
 for the main chance at all,--New

emy is more essential to military suc- cess than the best tactics and strategy in the world. He had a cause behind him, he was bound at all risks to show the world that it's leader was certain of its success.
 Washington, from the first opera tions of the war, showed wonderful skill in deceiving his oponents, In all he did and all he wrote it Is clear enough that his inmost plans are kept to himself and that he is always thinking of the state of mind of his opponent. It was propably far more with the object of keeping the enemy on the defensive that Washington, on at least two occasions made known his opinion, unanimously disagreed from by his generals, that the Ameri- can army should attack Boston It would appear more reasonable to see in this not, as generally accepted, the bold, almost rash, resolve of a mettle- some soldier, but rather the sugges- tion of the subtle thinker deceiving his friends in ordeE to ensnare the enemy more completely"

THE sERF," by Guy Thorne; R. r.
 Fenno & Co.,. New York; S1,O0 at Judas
 A strong story. A tale of the elev-
 enth century in Medieval England, a period remote enough to be fully his-
 torical. The hero was a feqdal serf. Stephen was King Of England and -anarchy and disorder were raging.
 Serfs in those days had a hard time. They were allowed their feed just as horses are to keep up their useful
 ness. Their education or higher aspirations were ignored. Life had |. little of glamor fascination for the humble serf Yet he managed to
 plod along The serfs' masters woeful-
 ly lacked education and refinement
 for that matter but they had power wealth, lived like kings and had lots
 of hard fighting. Here was the back ground of facts for this story. On these foundations Mr. Thomas has
 women powerful tale, oppressive
 sometimes in it's gloomy yet thrilling
 situations, the hopelessness of serf ex- ,istence, the tyrannizing, the lawless-
 ness. Yet our hero was brave, un- daunted by striving against great
 odds, against the letters and chains that throttled the life and hopes and aspirations of the lowly and down trodden. Hyla was the name of the brave serf who cruelty wronged, sought to break these fetters and nrhievn btpt,ar rlapa for 1,ie fnl lows. Bravely did he labor for the
 common veal of his comrades. He was born leader The times were ripe for rebellion against the tyranny of the masters and Hyla struck in at the psychological moment He start ed a local rebellion and he led it..
 Here was the first dawning of the spirit of freedom among the common people and this Is well illustrated in the story before us, The authors
 evident purpose was to draw picture 1 of these times, when the initial blows were struck which ultimately raised the common people out of abtect
 slavery to @ higher social plane. The picture drawn of those days Is strong
 and faithful The sympathies of the reader will be aroused at the wrongs | the common people suffered at the | hlgh-handed outrages inflicted upon them at the terrible fate of Hyla and
 his aids in the unequal struggle for liberty. Hyla failed but he sowed seed for liberty which later on sprang up gloriously.
