SAYS TAFT WILL GO TO HEAVEN.
But What Chicago Knows About II
Probably Isn't Much.

Judge Taft ought to be much
pleased with the information. which
comes out of Chicago, that he is not
only going into the white house, but
will go to heaven. Now, what the
people of Chicago may know about
heaven is a matter for serious con-
sideration; yet the Countess ~ Azure
liza Bethlen, a "Bahaist' teacher who
lives in Chicago, says Taft is slated
for the city Of the pearly gates
while Carnegie and Rockefeller may
pull through also by grasping the
strong rope of salvation Doubt
less the Countess is in a position
to offer them good handholds upon
the "strong rope" at so much cash
per grasp. The millennium, accord
ing to the Countess, will begin
nine years hence, or just about what
she figures will be the end OF the
second Taft administration. Inc
Countess, of course, is looking for
religious recruits who can rake up
cash enough to pay the fare.

DESTROYING THE PRIMARY.
From the Sparta Ishmaelite.

From the Sparta Ishmaelite.
Atlanta is the stormy petrol of the
Georgia cities. When the wild waves
are saying nothing to her she is al
ways saying something to them She
is always either agitated or getting
ready to agitate. The devil presents
himself in more different guises there
than anywhere else of our knowI-
edge; and he seems to take special
delight in Harvesting the so-caIled
religious element TO his car of Jug
geTnaut, with what are termed, with
great cloudiness of speech, business
men" as relays. Her leading bust
ness proposition is that it is right
and proper to do evil that good may
come-the more the better. And
what is especially distressing to men
who look beyond acts to their conse-
quences is to find ministers and
churches, so often of late, working
earnestly on that line, not simply in
Atlanta, but all over the country
Better endure the ills we have" than
fly to other and greater ones. 1t
would have been better to endure
the frailties of Woodwardism, for a
term, than to put a knife into the
vitals OF the primary system of nom
nations. 1t was lawlessness in the
name Of virtue, political lawlessness
originating in bad faith. But that is
the tendency of the times, along with
such little diversions as night-riding
and the gentle ministrations of the
Carrie Nations of the land.
When the men of a community
are too Indifferent to their municipal
duties to vote in a primary election
they are ineXcusable, after an unsat-
isfactory result follows, in taking adj
vantage of their own wrong to repu-
date the result and dishonor and de-
stroy the primary system. If men
who take part in primaries are not
to abide the issue in decency and
good faith then the system is a farce
and needless expense, and it ought
to be abolished. 1t makes the mat
ter only worse where this political
lawlessness is done under the cloak
Of virtue and religion.

STATE DRUG LAW EVADED.
Inspector Cheatham Says There Are
Many ViOlatOrs of 1t.

Druggists in this state must COM
ply strictly with the law regarding
the compromising of medicines and
handling poisons, according to an
edict issued from the state depart
ment of agriculture. No one is to
be permitted to fill prescriptions or
sell dangerous physic of any charac-
ter except those who have licenses
from the state board of pharmacy.
DR.. T. A. Cheatham, who was recent
ly appointed state drug inspector to
enforce the pure food and drugs act
as it relates to medicine, reports that
he has found many cases in which
the law is not followed Druggists
often employ youths and permit them
to fill prescriptions under the pro-
nrietor's license which is in con-
dict with the law.

ELKINs RAVES OVER RING.
Senator Has Pittsburg Postal Off

Cials Scared.
Don't be seen talking to me.
Senator Elkins is simply raising
hi"
This statement made by a promi-
nent government officials of Pitts
burg, Pa, approached for informa-
ton regarding the Abruzzi-Elkins
ring scandal, tells in part the state
of terror in which Pittsburg officials
have been thrown over the exposure
of the fact that Miss Elkins or some
member of her family turned back a
1000 ruby ring present from the
SrOom-prOspectiVe to Miss Elkins be-
cause the duty had not been paid
on it,
Senator Elkins lost no time in
getting in communication with the
government authorities at Pittsburg.
His personal representative did not
seem to get the desired information
quick enough, and several of those
high in government places at Pitts
burg were 'blown up" properly by
the angry United States senator over
the phone.
Later Mr.. Elkins engaged a Pitts
burg attorney, who was in cOnsulta-
ton with detectives the greater part
of the day, and no effort will be
spared by the senator to get to the
bottom of the trouble at Pitsburg.

THE PROGRESS OF COPPER.

Sharp decline recently on the cost
of rubber means greater use of cop
per. In proof of this contention the
fact may be cited that but one in ey-
cry ten houses in the United States
is lighted by electricity. The cost of
Installation in the last several years
has been such as to retard improved
lighting of homes. This cost has
been principally ehargeable to rub
materials at the much lower prices
now prevailing their use will become
far greater. The man of small means
ed in his home Reduction of the
ratio of unwired houses by even one
more in every ten would mean an
enormous call for copper and labor.
The avenues of expansion in the use
of copper, however. are wide and
many, thanks. mainly to electricity.
Just now the latter is working rev.
.olution in housekeeping and restau-
rant and hotel conduct, through pro-
viding the cleanest. cheapest, safest
and quickest cooking equipment. In
Europe this use of electricity is bet
ter advanced than in America, but
the east is now taking hold with avid
ity and il will be but little time
when the wood. coal, gasoline and
oil stoves will be as obsolete in the
country as the oil lamp is today All
of which means the greatest field for
the use of copper that has yet devel-

the low cost copper producers and
keep them. They are the big oppor-

are making money their mines will
