AN UNNECESSARY EXPENsE.

With the help of three messages
the governor has succeeded in having
his way in the matter of an extra
session of the legislature, says the
Savannah News. 1t will meet on
Tuesday, August 25th., by which
time it is understood, the convict in
vestigating committee will have fin
ished its work and prepared its re-
port.
1t is well understood, says our
contemporary, that the cost of an
extra session will be about $4,000
a day How long the session will
continue it is impossible to forecast
with any degree of certainty In
view of the fact that the legislature
will recOnvene without any definite
information respecting the convict
system of other southern states, and
without any clear idea as to what
system it will adopt, the chances are
that there will be a long debate over
the systems that will be proposed,
and that the cost to the state will
not be much, if any less than $40
600. Doubtless there will be inves-
legations by citizens on their own ac-
count as to the responsibility for
this extra session and the actual
need of it. There are reasons for
thinking that if the governor hadn't
antagOnized the legislature with
special messages it would have
passed the Holder bill which would
have insured two things, namely, hu-
name treatment of the convicts dur
ing the remainder of the life of the
lease system, and a sum sufficient for
the inauguration of another convict
system. commission would in all
probability have been appointed to
study and report upon the systems
Of other southern states, and, hence,
the next legislature would have been
ready to act promptly and intelli-
gently on the subject of the DISPOSE
ton of the convicts If the matter
had taken that course a more salts
factory settlement of the convict
question would have been effected,
and that, too, without the expense
of an extra session.
What is wanted is a settlement of
the convict question that will be per
manent If a settlement is had at
the proposed extra session it will
necessarily be a hasty one, and there
fore will not, in all probability, be
permanent.

FIRST BLOW TO LEASE SYSTEM

The Savannah Press, in a recent
issue, printed the following, and
made the mistake of crediting it to
The Dawson News Although every
word of it is true and to the point
it did not appear in these columns:
THE Savannah Press cannot
quite get over its June trOunC-
ing and grumbIes that the At
lanta convention adopted a very
mild plank against the convict
lease system Still it was not
so mild as the Macon cOnven-
ton, which said nothing at all.
Then follows this comment by our
Savannah contemporary, whose edi-
tor was himself a member of the
. general assembly which first put un-
der condemnation the leasing of it's
cOnviCts by the state:
THE best deliyerance against
the convict lease was made by
the legislature five years ago,
when it broke up the old leases
and inaugurated the system Of
working the cOnviCts on the pub
lie roads The editor of The
Dawson News was a member of
that legislature and no doubt
voted with the refOrmers. Com
pared with what was then done
the penal plank in the state
platform was like the sob of
pine to the sweep of a tornado.
Az The Press says, 1t was the leg
islature of 1902 that dealt the first
and most effective blow to the lease
system, and started a movement
which was intended and will event
ually break it up.
1t was a long step in the direction
of reform. But how fferent it was
done from what has / ecently trans
pired 1t was gone about quietl,
and dispassionately, free from the
sensationalism that has attended the
present agitation. There were theI
no ambitious politicians and no vel
low newspapers stirring the passions
and prejudices of the people and be
smearing their state for the purpOs,
of Fronting their own selfish ends

BUT 1T SAVED THE BABY.
Or. Matthews Tells of Queer Incident
of FamiIy's F@th.

when people in our part of the
country select family physician they
stick to him. says DR.. John Mat
thews of Illinois, according to the
Washington Herald. IF he goes away
they won't call in somebody else if
they can possibly help it. They have
faith in nobody but their own man, so
long as he manages to be fairly sue
cessful. Last spring went up to
Chicago for a few days, much to the
distress of young mother in our
town, who expects me to inspect her
only baby every other day at least.
The second day of my stay she tele-
graphed me to come home at once.
Baby was sick-she told me the trou-
ble-she didn't know what to do. 1t
wasn't an urgent case, knew, so
wired back a reassuring message, told
her to give the baby a dose of some
medicine she had at hand, and to fill
out the ten words I put in 'Prognosis
admirable / always like to use
large words when I'm telegraphing-
makes me feel that I'm getting the
worth of my money, you know. When
got home two days later 1 went to
see the baby. She's all right now,
the mother told me, but we were aw-
fully worried. We had to rely on the
medicine you left, though. The boy
at the drug store said they didn't have
bit of prognosis in the place.

Socialism In Japan.

Socialism has no footing In this
country as yet, nor is there any indH'
cation that it will gain footing in.
the near future at all events. Prior to
the war with Russia small coterie
of men calling themselves socialists
argued vehemently against the open
ing of hostilities and published a
newspaper organ to propagate their
creed. But they soon dwtndled into
insignificance, and although period
ical of so-called socialist views con-
tinues to be published it has no In
