SATURDAY, MARCH IA. 1908.

The Houston Post very heartily en- aorses the resolution introduced in Congress by John Sharpe Williams to haye labor conditions in the South in- vestigated, with special reference to inc charges of peonage. ''The South ern States" says The Post. have nothing to fear from an honest in" vaatixation of labor conditions within their borders, but much to gain, as the result is certain to reflect favor uhlv mon them in comparison with conditions as they are known to exist in certain States of the East. If abuses exist, as has been charged often for political effect, every true eoutherner wants them exposed and corrected. The South values her good name and love of justice more than she does the almighty dollar, and if peonage is practiced on any part of her soil she wants Q stop put to 1t and the guilty parties punished al they should be- We. also say let them investigate, but will it do any good? Those who Sd xlibly make charges against our section would deny the fairness of the investigation and go on slandering the South in the same old way.

That was singular statement made by Mr. Stevens, formerly chief engi- neer of the Panama canal. He says 1t is absurd to build the canal, and that in all probability twill never be finished. We have not read his statement in full, and do not know whether his pessimistic and uncompli- mentary opinion is due to envy any pique or whether he gives good req sons for what he says, but 1t is dis couraging view if 1t has any grounds to sustain it. The Brooklyn Eagle rather seems to think that Stevens is actuated more by spleen than any thing else, and seriously doubts his Judgment. We suppose it Is but com mon judgment to anyone to say that the work will be finished some day but its value can only be determined by time.

A contemporary relates a story that forcibly illustrates the double danger of making predictions and then acting On them. About year ago man up in Massachusetts thought he had a sure tip that he would die within six months and proceeded to act on 1t. He was man of considerable wealth, but was so sure in his own mind about lthe date of his death that he gave away all he had to friends and char itable institutions. leaving himself barely enough to subsist on during the six months that he expected to remain on earth.
 That Is the first part of the story ani the sequel came few days ago, when he was sent to the poor-house. He failed to die as he had predicted and those to whom he had given every thing he possessed refused to aid or support him when there was nothing to be gained by it. If we wanted to point moral, or couple of them, we should advise people not to put too much faith in predictions; and would also advise them not to give away all their means while living.

-congressman Hitchcock, of Nebras- ka," saysThe Pittsburg Post. ''voiced no hidden secret. merely an unappre- clated fact, when he said in the course of speech on the tariff question that the paper trust wrote into the Ding ley bill the schedules for it's product and that the lumber trust similarly dictated it's schedules. It is a matter of common knowledge here in the cen ter of the steel industry who fixed the schedules for this industry in the tarifr bill. And the glass and pottery and other highly protected industries were just as obligingly accommodated when the measure was framed. In short, 1t is a matter of general under standing that the peoples representa- tives had little or nothing to do with this bill but to ratify a previously made campaign bargain"

the most practical things to elect the Denver nominees.

That the ancient and honorable city of Boston has taken the Coliinwood lesson seriously Is evidenced by the fact that the chairman of the school committee has instructed the superin- tendent to send circular letter of in- quiry to each principal. asking him to make an immediate inspection of his building. the fire discipline and the fire protection. to answer a series of questions. and to add any sugges- tion of his own that seems worth att tention. Answers are requested by Tuesday. and here is the list of ques- tions:
 gard to fire drills been complied withg
 2. Does the fire drill provide for the possible cutting or of one of more of the natural exits?
 3. Is the form of fire drills in your schools adequate and satisfactory?
 4. Are the provisions with reference to keeping doors unlocked strictly
 5. Do any doors open inwardiy7
 6. Do you have fire escapes and if you do are they always in usable con ~
 :. Are all parts of the heating ap- paratus sufficiently protected to give reasonable guaranty against starting of fire?
 s. Are the conditions in and around the furnace-room uniformly such as to give the greatest protection against fire?
 9. Have you any suggestions as to desirable measures to be taken to rem der more adequate the security against | fire,
 10. Are there any other matters having to do with the subject on which you desire to make report?
 These ten questions. as will be seen embrace about everything that Is necessary and humanly possible to en- sure the safety of children in the schools and if. all that is comprised in them is carried out as 1t isl evidently intended shah be done there will be little more danger of tragedies like that of the Ohio school.

Although the young King Alfonso affected to make light of the danger attending his recent visit to Barce- Iona we have no doubt that he breathes easier since his safe return. It is not in the nature of mere boy, though he may be a brave one, to con- template without fear the prospect of being put to death by anarchists if he ventures out and that he did so is a compliment to his courage and sense of duty.

III Timed InNasIon.

Savannah News. Bryan men to discredit Governor John son of Minnesota in his own State and to capture that State for Mir. Bryan has aroused a good deal of feeling against Mir. Bryan among Governor Johnson's followers. It Is stated on the alleged authority of the Governor S private secretary that Governor John son wouldn't have permitted the Min nesota Democratic State Committee to put him in the race for President if it hadn't been for the effort of the Bryan men to capture the State.
 Governor Johnson will not make any statement in respect to the mat ter. Neither will he say what h.s pur- pose Is regarding the nomination for President. He will make a statement of his intention at the meeting of the Democratic State convention. which meets in the near future. There doesn't seem to be any doubt. how ever that he will announce that he is a candidate for the nomination, and that he will have the solid support of the Minnesota delegation.

 ask the people to send reformers to the Legislature this year so that more reform Legislation can be enacted. In our opinion the people of Georgia feel that they have already been reformed, exploited and imposed on enough; so much so that business is paralyzed and the capitalists of other sections are looking in other directions entirely for investments
 The people of Georgia are conser- vative after thinking over the situa- tion and they have had time to see that the monster of reform is eating up the prosperity of the country The country at large feels the after ef- fects of Rooseveltism. Socialism and Bryan.sm, and now want to disgorge by gentle vomit
 There will be very few counties in Georgia that will elect men to the Leg islature who run on reform platforms Governor Smiths last campaign fur nished more than we can digest for this generation The next generation may need a like experience-we don't.
