SAVANNAH OYERREACHING HER
SELF.

Savannah has been charged with
having been the main cause of the
passage of the prohibition law for
Georgia, by reason of the fragrant
offenses of its saloonkeepers. And
now that city is making just as GER
tain repeal of the locker provision
of the prohibition law by its loud
smelling abuse of the locker club
privilege.
Hardly had the new law gone into
effect before a crop of alleged lockers
sDrang into being. So cleyerly did
the liquor element in that city think
they had hoodwinked the prohibition
law, that they took more and more
liberties. A glance over the names
of the patron saints of these alleged
locker clubs reveals the fact that the
ex-saloon keepers practically mono
police the field.
Naturally enough the law abiding
citizens were outraged at the re-
opening of the saloons under the name
of locker clubs" According to the
belief Of these citizens, a saloon I'M
der any other name would smell just
as loudly. Hence, when Rev Dr. Aims
worth, a prominent minister, attack
ed these alleged locker clubs in a
sermon no one was surprised, though
Mayor Tiedeman was able to put up
bluff of injured innocence when his
administration was accused of Iicen-
sing clubs" which the smallest in
vestigation would have shown to
be merely saloons under a thin
disguise.
The Times-Recorder was not an
advocates of the prohibition law, but
after it was passed this paper has
insisted on the law receiving a square
deal. This has been the general at
titude of newspapers all over the
state
But in Savannah the effort seems to
be to take all the liberty possible with
the locker club, and the city admins
tratiOn lets the saloon men run over
them, showing either incompetence in
the administration, or a blindness
which is quite as bad
If the locker club provision is TAX
en- away,-and at the present sitting
such a course seems almost assured
Savannah will have al the honor In
stead of submitting to the prohibition
law, and obeying it in good faith, it
has been made a farce. 1t may be
funny for awhile, but the coming Leg
islature will fail to see the joke.
In laundering stupidity, Savannah
has brought down the walls of the
wrath of the temperance sentiment
of the state. In short, the city has
overreached herself, while her Off
cials doubtless thought they were
playing sharp trick

1T is TO LAUGH

A unique plea was made before the
Georgia Railroad Commission this
week on hearing of the application
of the Georgia Railroad for leave to
discontinue the running of two trains,
which were being operated at a loss,
as the road alleged. One of the op-
ponents of the discontinuance of the
train claimed that the roads officials
were mistaken in their estimates of
the cost of operation.
1t is the duty of this commission
to save the roads from their manage
ment," said the opposer. THE rail
roads, if left alone, Will starve them
selves"
Such an absurd proposition could
hardly have been given serious con-
sideration by the commission But it
shows to what absurdities the critics
of railroad management are forced
in order to bolster up untenable posi-
tiOns.

PENAL OFFENSF TO
GIVE AWAY ESTIMATES
Leaks in Cotton Figures to
Be Stopped.

Leaks of the cotton estimates, such
as disgraced the Department of
Agriculture in the days of Hyde, will
be guarded against if the bill passed
by the Lower House of Congress Tues
day becomes a law. This bill provides
a penalty for any employe who divul-
ges any part of the figures before
the estimate is published. 1t is in
the nature of an amendment to the
penal code and reads as follows:
Whoever, being an officer or en-
plOye of the United States or a per-
son acting for or on behalf of the
United States in any capacity under
or by virtue Of the authority of any
department or officer, thereof, and

mo CHRISTIAN
PSYCHOLOGY
Ability to Heal Sick Lost
By Neglect.
archibald Mcclellan in Christian

archibald Mcclellan in Christian
Science Sentinel)
We are taught in our text book,
Science and Health with Key to the
Scriptures" that "if God had institu-
ted material laws to govern man, dis
obedience to which would have made
man i'll, Jesus would not have dis
regarded those laws by healing in
direct opposition to them and in de-
fiance of all material conditions"
(p. 227) The animus of this teaching
pervades all of Mrs. Eddy's writings
on Christian Science
Christian psychology is equivalent to
Christian phrenology, physiology. and
mythology, whereas Jesus predicated
and demonstrated Christian healing
on the basis of Spirit, God. He never
complicated Spirit with matter, never
taught the finite opposite of God,
Spirit, God, All Theology means
one God, and Christianity is not
founded on any other basis except
one God, one infinite and that infinite
divine Love God is Spirit, and they
that worship Him must worship in
spirit and in truth AS re-
vealed in Christian Science,
God is unconscious of mat
ter, for if He is Spirit, and All. He
cannot know aught that would be
the very unlikeness of Himself in
quantity, quality and divinity.
Neglect Of this, the real meaning of
Christianity, resulted in a loss of the
power to heal the sick centuries ago,
and today also there are those who
are casting lot for Christs seamless
robe, but by their failure to perceive
the oneness of Spirit they also will
lose the truth of Christianity, and thus
be unable to demonstrate it upon
the divine Principle which Jesus
taught, namely, one God, one infinite,
hence no matter. Christianity with
out this essential Science of Christian
truth-the oneness of Spirits left
without a perfect Principle and
without scientific demonstration there
Of In other words, they who drop
Spirit as the one and all of
Christianity thereby lose the
demonstration of the power of Spirit.
through Christ, to heal the sick and
cleanse the leper, to destroy sin,
disease, and death
Mrs. Eddy has shown that she
loves all that tends towards Chris
tianity; hence she loves Catholics and
Protestants,- Methodists, Congrega-
tionalists, Baptists, Quakers, Shak-
ers,-all save those who stand still
and entertain no desire for Christian
ity. Her teachings further
show that she cannot con-
sistently endorse as Christian
ity the two distinctly contradictory
statements and points of view con-
tanned in the term Christian ply
chOlogy Christian ma
terialism. The determination to hold
Spirit in the grasp of matter is the
prosecutor of Truth and Love.

PUBLIC HEARING
ON CURRENCY BILL
Bankers and Others Will
Appear.

WASHINGTON, d. c.. Jan. %
(Special) business men, bankers, fin
anciers and others interested in the
subject of currency legislation are
here to take part in the discussion in
augurated today by the House COM
mittee on banking and currency. These
public hearings will precede the re
port to be made by the committee on
any of the several currency expansion
bills that have been introduced into
the House
Before the hearings have been com
pleted, it is expected that the COM
mittee will have heard the opinions
of leading representative of COM
mercial, agricultural, Industrial and
labor organizations, as well as the
recommendations of bankers and fin
anciers
Our object in having public hear
ings,' said Representdtive Ollie James
of Kentucky, one of the House lead
ers in the currency reform movement,
is to insure the fullest consideration
before recommending for passage any
bill designed to better the currency
and improve the financial condition
of the country. We have heard a
great deal from the bankers and fin
ancial interests, now We want to hear
from the business and professional
men, the farmers. the labOrers and
others who are Yitally interested in
having a sound and sufficient cur
rency."
All OF the various measures offered
as solution Of the currency ques-
ton will come under a fire of criti-
cism and it is likely that before the
public hearings have been completed
the members Of the House committee
will be even less sure of the right
road out of. the financial wilderness
than they now are

on the cheaper processes OF printing
for the manufacture of its postage
stamps. The stamps supplied by
Uncle Sam are printed by the plate
printing" process, which is the most
costly as we'll as the most perfect Of
all processes of taking a printed inn
preston. Like all OF our paper money
and the bonds and stocks certificates
admitted to trading on the New York
stock exchange the postage stamps
are printed from steel engravings. An
engraved plate differs radically from
the printing surfaces used in the or
binary typographical processes. in that
the lines which carry the ink are sunk
below the surface of the plate and
the pigment which remains on the pa
per after it has been run through the
printing press is taken, not from the
surface of the plate, as is the case in
topographic printing. but from the
sunken lines. BY this process it 10
possible TO make much finer design
than it would be possible to print from
a topographic cut" as may be seen
by comparing under a reading glass
any postage stamp or piece of paper
currency with the finest wood cut or
other example of topographic art.
The cost of manufacturing postage
stamps is further increased by the
necessity Of cumming the backs; but
the perfection of the machinery which
carries out this process, together with
the small size of the stamps, makes
the total cost inconsiderable when
compared with the selling price.
The printed sheets of stamps pass
into the cumming machines as soon
as they are dried and passed by the
examiners
These machines are marvels of in
genuity. An even flow is spread on
the back of the stamps with wonderful
accuracy by a revolving drum whose
slightly rough surface carries the nee
essary AMOUNT of adhesive fluid. AS
sheet after sheet passes face down I'M
der this roller il throws a parting
glimmer of its newly-gummed surface
in a mirror directly in front of the
young woman operator. BY this means
she can tell whether or not the gum is
being applied.
After its farewell CLEAN the sheet Is
carried automatically through a dry
ing chest, where an even temperature
of 135 degrees is maintained 1t is
now dry and ready to be trimmed,
numbered and perforated.
Finally, hydraulic presses remove
the burning left by the perforating ma
chimes, and the finished stamps, exam
ined, counted, packed and sealed, are
ready for shipment.

One carpenter called this plan the
house with twin gables, and il certain
ly is a distinguishing name. 1t is an
old-fashioned house. having a width of
271a feet and a length of 231h feet, eX-
elusive of porches; a case where the
width Is greater than the length. be-
cause you always associate the length
of a house as leading back away from
the street or road in front.
Architects are required to build
houses to fit the lots. Where land is
high priced 1t is usually cut up into
narrow lots, but i'm good many vii
lagos and country places the lots are
big enough to accommodate almost
any width of house, and this plan is
designed especially for such locations.
With this design you get a wide front
age and consequently a fine outlook
TO the front as well as on both sides,
and this is just what some lots need.
The veranda across the front of this
house is especially suited to a large,
wide lot. The very looks of it sug-
gest summer afternoon comfort. II is
a solid, wellbuilt veranda, too, with a
good floor made of one and one-eighth
by three-inch clear white pine strips
carefully iointed. and the tongue and
groove is TO be thoroughly well painted
with pure white lead mixed rather
thick, before the strips are driven up,
thus making a floor that If kept we'll
surface painted will last a life time.
The veranda columns are large and
are covered with siding with miterd
corners, and the balustrades are
framed in paneled sections, which
gives the appearance of close atten-
ton to detail, that looks well from the
street. There are also lattice panels
underneath. Attempts have been made
