Mr.. Brown and the RAILROADS
Savannah Morning News.

There is a good deal OF speculation
as to what Gov -elect Browns policy
respecting the railroads will be.
He is saying nothing and probably
will say nothing for publication until
he is inaugur6ted. or until close to
the time for his inauguration It
is pretty certain Chat he viii not al
this time discuss in the newspapers
his purposes and policies respecting
the railroads or anything else. 1t is
possible and proper however, to
draw differences from his campaign
and letters prior to the campaign.
In our Atlanta dispatches yesterday
it was stated that, in all probability
he would recommend a revision Of
the Railroad Commission laws. He
has criticised the increase i'll the num-
Der of the members Of the commits
sion from three to five on the ground
of the unnecessary expense to the
state He has said that he thought
that three members were fully able
TO discharge the duties devolving upon
the commission If anybody thinks
however, that the railroads are going
to have everything their own way
they will likely be disappointed But
il is certain that it will be Mr.
Browns policy to give the railroads
a square deal For instance. he
doesn't believe in cutting freight
rates in the interest of manufactur-
ing company that is making 100 per
cent. when the railroads are not more
than making living expenses. Ev-
ervbOdy remembers his letter in which
he named manufacturers who We're
making about that per cent on their
70
reduction on railroads that were not
paying any dividends on their stocks.
In other words Mr. Brown will
doubtless take the position that so
far as the state is concerned one
kind of property is entitled to just
as fair treatment as another kind
But unless we are greatly mistaken
he will insist that the railroad com
panies shall give the people first
class service, both passenger and
freight, and that trains shall be run
on schedule time that road beds shall
| be kept in first class condition, that
| the equipment of the roads shall be
| of the best and that within reason
able limits, stations shall be satisfac-
| tory to the people. In other words
| that as far as their earnings will per-
nit the railroads of Georgia shall
be up-to-date roads If Mr.. Brown
does this he will come nearer to
pleasing the people than if he cuts
| freight rates here and there a few
cents. What the people have been
asking for these many years are
| trains that run on schedule time
and first class service. It is well
known that these things cannot be
| had in a sparsely settled country
| unless the rates permit them.
The Morning News throughout all
Of this railroad rate discussion has
insisted that the people are clamoring
! for getter service, better stations anC
safety in travel and not reductions in
| freight rates As Mr. Brown is 2
/ man with large share Of common
sense we may reasonably expect that
| attention will be paid to bringing the
roads up to a high standard of eff
cheney before consideration is giyer
to the question Of reducing freight
rates.

No Danger i'm Prohibition
(A1e1lSta ChrOniclel


The Nashville American is wrong.
Hon Seab Wright is right Prohibi-
ton was not an issue in the Georgia
campaign and is in no more danger
from Mr.. Joseph NJ. Brown than it
would have been had Gov. Smith been
nominated. Joseph NJ. Brown, person
ally, is a prOhibitionist. and, political
ly, he is committed to giving the pro-
hibition law a fair trial, In the
campaign Gov Smith was supported
by we'll known and prominent anti
prOhibitionists and Mr.. Brown was
supported by leading prOhibitiOnists.
Nor do we believe that there is
anything in the superstition or init
nation, by the Savannah Press that
a local option legislature has been
chosen.
The people of Georgia desire that
prohibition be given the fullest posi-
BILE test The most outspoken anti
prohibitionists Of a year ago now
take that position. They insist that
the law be rigidly enforced, that it
be given every possible opportunity OF
proving its merit, that it not be en-
barrassed, in any possible way, in or

Atorney-'ieneral, Z. L. Fits of Brat

State Fish aud Game Warden II. G.
Thomas Of Stowe answering certain
questions asked hy Harry Chase county
warden for Bennington county, relating
To the right OF Wardens to arrest with
nut a warrant persons suspected to have
violated the law, aud the right TO search
the person and receptacles carried by
such person. The attorney-general
points out that il is violation of the
law to catch, or have in ones possession
trout less than six inches in length and
that the possession of such fish is made
prima facie evidence that they were ia
ken in the waters of the State. A war
den may arrest without warrant when
ever he has reasonable cause to believe
that the person arrested is violating the
Jaw. The attorney-geueral points out

his possession fish less than six inches
long then the law practically would be
nullified. The attorney general believes,
although the decisions of the courts are
not entirely clear on this point, that
warden has the right to arrest fisher
man refusing to show him the contents
of the latter's basket. 1t is pointed out
that an oihcer has no right to lay hands
upon person to search him until the
latter has been placed under arrest.

TAG DAY IN Y0NKERS.
Homeopathic and Maternity Hospital
Got $4,000 by Quaint Plan.

A series of holdups that for GOODNESS
and daring rivaled anything that the
wild west ever produced and which In
sense recalled the thrilling exploits
of Calamity Jane were perpetrated re-
Gently in Y0nkers, N. Y, on tag day."
Trolley cars were stopped on the
main tracks and on switches, and Pc
destrians were halted anywhere they
happened to be and asked to hand
over a part Of their cash. Even the
swift moving automobiles did not
speed fast enough to save their occu-
pants from being levied upon. The
tagging was done to raise funds for
the Homeopathic and Maternity hos
pital and was conducted by about 300
society women in charge of Mrs. R. II.
Trotter, Mrs. f. D. Blake and Mrs. ].
c. Walker.
At every street corner at the rail-
road stations and postofices were COM
mittees Of white robed, white capped
matrons and maids, each carrying a
bunch Of Red Cross tags and gener-
Gus sized red pasteboard box. As they
approached their victims" tag in
hand. each said with her sweetest
smile, Take tag, please; anything
you wish to give" The response was
generous. Even strangers coming to
the city were not spared. and, although
they were greatly surprised. every one
contributed literally.
At Central and Yonkers avenues q
party Of young women stopped the au-
tomobile Of James Butler, owner Of
the Empire City race track, and prof
fered him tag. Mr. Butler dived into
an inside pocket, pulled out big roll
Of bills and, without stopping to count
the money, handed it over and got
his red cross. The activity Of the
women was striking. They stood for
hours on the street corners in the sun
without showing any signs Of fatigue,
and they jumped on moving street
cars and went into all Office buildings,
restaurants and other public places.
Ready response was made by the fac
tory workers, clerks and tradesmen.
The day was successful one, and
1t is estimated that at least $4,000 was
raised.

RUDDER FOR BALLOONS.
French Officers Invention of Which
Great Things Are Expected.


Commandant Bouttiaux. director of
the military balloon park of Meudon.
In France, has invented balloon at
tachment which he believes will render
unnecessary hereafter the use of bal
last. His attachment takes the form
Of a horizontal rudder. which may be
applied to any balloon basket. says a
Paris correspondent of the New York
Times. BY simple notifications the
rudder can be used to send the balloon
either up or down.
Its use will be attended with great
economy of gas, so that the airship
can continue on its journey for prac-
tically unlimited period.
Ballast hitherto has always given rise
to serious complications. To maintain
anything like stable equilibrium in
the air a. constant manipulation of gas
and sand has been necessary. When a
voyage of any length has been under
taken vast quantities of ballast have
been used. II the sun has heated the
balloon, causing the gas to expand, it
has been necessary to open the valve.
Then If the balloon has fallen too rap
idly 1t has been necessary to throw
out sand in order to go up again. The
whole secret Of covering great dis
tance in balloon has resolved itself
into knowing how to econoWize the
sand.
With the horizontal rudder, however,
which plays the same role as the side
fiRs of a fish, ballast becomes unneces-
sary. Wind pressure alone is necessary
in sending the balloon up or down. The
new apparatus has already proved its
good qualities In series of expert
ments
