a CENSUS OF THE BIRDS.

According to estimates founded on
observation there are at least one
billion four hundred and fourteen
million birds in the United States.
The department of agriculture at
Washington is taking the census,
and it is also studying our feathered
friends closely to learn who are use
full and who are harmful to the
crops. The result is that some
birds are losing their good reputa-
tiOns, while others heretofore banned
are shown to be worthy.
A writer in July Van Nordens
Magazine, in an article on counting
the birds, says: For years it has
been known that birds play an i'm
portant part in agriculture, but the
general tendency of those engaged
in that pursuit is to dwell upon the
harm rather than on the good they
do The benefit or the damage a
bird does depends entirely upon what
hS CdJS. Let d farmer eSDN crow
or a blackbird winging its way to-
wards his corn field and he plans to
kill the visitor. If he sees a wood
pecker on the trunk of one of his
trees he yearns for that birds scalp.
If he could look close enough he
would see that the blackbird and the
crow were eating nOxious parasites
and insects and aiding him in the
saving of his crop, while the wood
pecker might be observed filling his
stomach with wood borers. grubs
and ants, all of which are detri-
mental to the trees in which they
bury themselves. And even if in
the summer the crow or the black
bird was eating corn he could be de-
pended upon to more than make
amends in the Fall by destroying
thousands of bugs and worms which
are greater menaces to the farmer S
prospects than all crows and black
birds combined"

PROHIBITION IN BAD HANDS.
the washington Herald.

From the Washington Herald.
If prohibition has received a back
set in the southland the recent
acts of Florida and Louisiana would
seem to indicate that it hast is
the fault of nobody but the prohibi-
tiOniSts. They certainly had things
going their way, so far as surface
indications demonstrated, and good
generalship might have held the
course of events true to the direc-
ton originally marked out
Unfortunately for the cause of
prohibition, however, the politicians
seized upon it before it had devel-
Oped its full growth, guised it in
the form of ultra-morality, rode it
to victory in many localities, and are
now seemingly getting ready to turn
over the battered remains of the ma
chine to anybody who will take it.
The present prohibition law of Geor-
gia, for instance, was not put on the
statute books by the politicians; it
was placed there because of the
pressure brought to bear upon the
Legislature after it's assembly and
without the utterance of word by
any prohibitionist on the stump be-
, fore the elections resulting in the
present legislative membership were
held. The Anti-SalooE League in
Georgia demanded of the assembled
lawmaking power of that state
most drastic prohibition law; and it
got it, because it made that legisla-
ture believe that Georgia wanted
such laW-that the plain, common,
everyday folks were for it.
Amazed at the spectacle in GeOr-
gia designing politicians everywhere
took up prohibition like a duck
snaps up junebug! 1t proved
great steed on which to ride to
office! When the Anti-SaloOn League
permitted itself to be dragged into
the political phase of the question
many prohibitionists shook their
heads; they saw the finish of their
cherished cause right then and there.
Men assumed godly clothes and at
fected excessive righteousness who
never had been known to even cater
to the ranks of the moral" element
before; red noses were bleached
over night in order that elections
might be carried next day. And
ever since the politicians got hold of
the movement the cause has been
on the wane, and seems quite likely,
indeed, to peter out rather inglO-
riously, considering the valiant start
made such short time ago.
Anti-saloOn leagues will do we'll
to taboo politics and fight very shy
of politicians.

the world has certainly moved swift

AN OLD CHESTNUT

Mr. Watson, in one of his Atlanta
speeches, rehashed the old story that
Mr.. Bryan, when a member Of con-
gress, refused to vote for the
late Chas. F. Crisp for speaker be-
cause he was a confederate veteran.
This charge was made against Mr..
Bryan during his first campaign for
the presidency, but was soon ex-
plOded. There was nothing what
ever to support it. The facts are
that in a caucus of the democratic
members of congress to nominate a
candidate for speaker Bryan voted
for Mr. Springer of Illinois, his
neighbor and friend of long stand
ing, as he had a right to do and
ought to have done After Judge
crisp was nominated and became
<ae party's choice for speaker Bryan
Loyalty supported and voted for him.
When his attention was called no
later than Monday of this week to
Mr. Watsons statement Mr.. Bryan
replied that he had voted for Judge
Crisp three times for speaker of con-
gress, as shown by the record of roll
calls, and once for him in caucus.
1t is we'll enough to keep the facts
straight as we go along.

Heart TO Hear Talks.

WHAT'S THE USE?
Copyright, 1903, by Edwin A. Nve.

Why IS a man born with the closed fists Re.
cause ne wants to grasp everything And WHY
does ne die with palms outstretched? To show
mat ne takes nothing along with him.-Talmud.
The quaint saying of the Talmud
is good one for this day and age
an age of grasping cOmmercialism.
Some one has aptly named the
disposition of modern men to gather
to themselves more wealth than they
need or can use as money mad
ness.
There's method in that madness.
Note the cunning of the monopolist
who gathers to himself the ways and
means of production. See how his
converging lines of TRANSFORMATION
and his watchful execution match
that of the spider that weaves his
cOnyerging webs and lures his vic
tim.
Money mad, these moderns.
And some of them, like lunatics in
cell, grasp at the straws of their
mating to weave them into golden
crown. And some of them grasp at
the notes in the air of their dusty
cells, seeking substance. Some of

fellows. Some steal from earth and
sea and sky. Some sell their souls
to the devil.
Listen to the marching chorus of
the money pirates, the grunting.
sWeaty chorus of grab, grab, grab!
Poor fools,
Yet a little while and the grab
bers shall pass away. Whose, then,
shall these things be? The lawyers
will revel in the loot of it, heirs will
quarrel over it, harpies will fatten
on the funds, and prodigal hands will
SOW the surplus wealth broadcast
over the earth
Even now lustful eyes watch for
the first symptom of the hour when
the fists of the lucre loving lunatics
shall relax their itching palms.
Poor fools.
Our brief AnglO-Saxon phrase puts
the lesson of the Talmud in fewer
words. Our ancestors were accus-
toned to say: There are no pock-
cts in shrOuds.
Poor fools!
Soon the grabbing hand shall lose
its cunning and the lying tongue
cleave to the roof of its mouth.
In the language of the street:
What's the use?

GEORGIA AT DENVER.

Our Georgia delegation to Denver
were interesting, if not important.
Foot loose and fancy free and feel
ing their oats they liked off to the
great convention in the Rocky Noun
tain metropolis with the avOwed in
tention of taking charge of the OppO-
sitiOn to w J. Bryan and showing
the country a thing or two by over
throwing the will of the hosts of
democracy and chucking the great
leader of this party and people into
the outer darkness of defeat and
humiliation. But how different
when they arrived there. They
found there was no opposition to
Bryan, and for the five days of the
convention theirs was little less than
a pathetic spectacle With nothing to
do and nobody paying any particu-
lar attention to them their presence
in Denver amounted to very little.
For the first time in the recol-
lection of this newspaper Georgia,
the Empire State of the South, has
failed to play a leading and con-
spicuous part in a democratic ma
tional convention, failed to exert an
influence, failed to have anything to
do or to say. For the sake of the
prestige and pride of this great and
proud state We hope the like will not
occur again.
