Refunding Lumber 0YerChareeS

A decree of Judge Speer of Georgia on the intervention of the Ocmulgee Lumber company is the beginning of the refunding of an overcharge of 2 cents a hundred pounds on lumber shipped from the south to Ohio river points. The oyercharge is almost an- cient history. It is another instance of the laws delay. The issue had, however. been carried to the United States supreme court, and the 2-cent advance had been duly declared illegal.
 Judge Speer's recent decree is the beginning of the refunding process, and if it is ever completed very large sums will be paid back to lumbermen Tn the south. It comes at time when the railroads have none too much mon ey, but the methods of delay may not be exhausted. The laws delay is a curious feature of our judicial system, and possibly some day way will be found to eliminate a good share of it. In criminal cases it shelters the pow erful, leaving the weak and humble alone to be punished summarily.

NIGHT OUT WITH BYRON.

From the New York World.
 Reformers of the present day who as sume that drinking habits are on the in- crease are not students of social history. The London Lancet declares that Eng land is infinitely more sober today than at the beginning of the nineteenth cen- tury, and adds, by way of argument that there is something staggering in the following details of one of Lord Byron s nights out"
 scrope Davies Byron's friend, describ- ed him as a flair holiday drinker" only, a phrase implying that he was not in any sense a topper. On April g, 1874, By ron writes to Moore with evident self satisfaction: q have also been drinking, and OF one occasion, with three other friends, at the Cocoa Tree, from till 4, year until in the matin. We clareted and champagned tiu 2, then supped, and finished with a kind of regency punch composed of madeira, brandy and green | tea no real water being admitted therein. There was a night for you!" Byron was a six-bottle man in the sense that six bottles of claret, besides champagne, would be drunk Tn nlSnt $ slltlnB ny himself and another holiday drinker" :" At the age of 26 the poet found himself unaffected by these wines, which were doubtless pure, but he indulged in se- we're physical exercise to counteract any evil effects that they might have upon him.

0Sler and His ChlorOfOrm Law

What is good for the lectured goose should be good for the lecturing gan der, and Dr. Osler is now SO years old. He has reached the age when man out lives his usefulness and should be chloroformed. This was the law that the scientific doctor laid down. It was so to speak his own law, and yet when he became 60 years old, instead of talk ing his own medicine, he proceeded to plan a campaign for the lord rector ship of Edinburgh university
 Here is pretty howddo What had been presented as a determination of science by the leading scientist in his profession now turns out to have been a whimsical jest, an amoosing theory, that fits only the weak and feeble.
 The truth seems to be that in this age a man at 60 is as capable of ere ative work, is as strong for work and as eager to grasp knowledge, as any man is, and he knows more than he did at-40 and far more than he did at any other age.
 In justice to all readers and admir- ing friends, Dr. Osler should ask per mission to withdraw his theory, and he should then resume at once his race in Edinburgh He is pitted there against Winston Churchill, who is youngster in his 30s, and against George Wyndham, who is also far be- low the age of SO. Let the doctor pro ceed, but he should prepare the way by first withdrawing the theory that called for the chloroform can.

Judge Coleman on Good Roads

Judge Thomas W. Coleman was one of the framers of the constitution of 1903. He stood in the first rank, and he very naturally desires to see his work stand unchanged. He opposes the OyertoD amendment.
 His chief objection seems to consist in a distrust of the people. Because the Oyerton amendment would give the people and their legislatures a right to appropriate money for public roads he is opposed to it. He does not claim, as some do, that the adoption of the amendment would turn over the convict money to the public roads, but he says the legislature would vote money to good roads at the expense of the old soldiers or of the children of the state. He even says they would appropriate money to the public roads if they had to cut down their own sal aries.
 He assumes that great thorough fare is to be built from the Tennessee line to Mobile, and that the outlying counties would have to wait a long time to get any benefits from the good roads movement The Oyerton amend ment names no plan calls for no new officials, and does not appropriate a single dollar. It simply unties the hands of the people, and if the quail fled voters of this state are not to be trusted, then indeed no set of men in this republic can be- Judge Coleman has too little faith in his fellow citi- Zens.

would creep in. But so they may in any other piece of business, and it is the duty of jury to which an abuse in a given case is submitted to do justice mot to set aside a general law Abuses in the giving of transportation for advertising could be set right from the evidence taken in a disputed case
 Judge Kohlsaat has attempted to take the particular exchange out of the course of ordinary commercial transac- tions, and it rests with the United States supreme court to say whether or no such an exchange is any more exceptional than the exchange of d load of potatoes for a doctors bill would be. Abuses may creep into any commercial transaction.

THE FROZEN GRAIL.

TO PEARY AND HIS BAND By Elsa Barker in the New York Times. Why sing the legends of the Holy Grail, The dead Crusaders of the Sepulcher While these men live? Are the great
 bards all dumb? Here is a vision to shade the blood of
 Song, And make Fame's watchman tremble at
 his post. What shall prevail against the spirit of
 man, When cold, the lean and snarling wolf
 of hunger, The threatening spear of ice-mailed Sol
 itude, Silence, and space, and ghostly footed
 Fear Prevail not? Dante, in his frozen hell, Shivering, endured no bleakness like the
 void These men have warmed with their own
 flaming will, And peopled with their dreams. The
 wind from the fierce Arcturus in their faces, at their backs The whip of the worlds doubt, and In
 their souls Courage to die-if death shall be the
 price Of that cold cup that shall assuage their
 thirst They climb, and fall. and stagger to-
 ward the goal, They lay themselves the road whereby
 they travel, And sue God for a franchise. Does He
 watch Behind the lattice of the boreal lights? In that Grail-chapel of their stern-vowed quest, Ninety of Gods long paces toward the
 North Will they behold the splendor of His
 face? To conquer the world must man re-
 nounce the world? These have renounced it. Had ye only
 faith Ye might move mountains, said the Ma.
 zarene. Why, these have faith to move the zones
 of man Out to the point where All and Nothing meet They catch the bit of Death between
 their teeth In one wild dash to trample the un- known And leap the gates Of Knowledge. They have dared Even to defy the sentinel that guards The doors of the forbidden-dared to Their breathing bodies after the Ideal That like the Heavenly Kingdom must be taken Only by violence. The star that leads The leader of this quest has held the world True to it's orbit for a million years. And shall he fail? They never fail whc light Their lamp of faith at the unwavering flame Burnt for the altar service of the Race Since the beginning. He shall find the strange The white immaculate Virgin of the North, | Whose steady gaze no mortal ever dared | Whose icy hand no human ever grasped | Tn the dread silence of the solitude | She waits and listens through the cen. turies 1 For one indomitable, destined soul. | Born to endure the glory of her eyes. And lift his warm lips to the frozen Grail.

STORY OF "BATTLlNe" NELSON.
Has Big Heart, as Shown In Treatment
 of His Father.

Beau Broadway in New York Telegraph.
 I'll tell you a story about Battling Nelson which will make you glad that he won fame and lot of money. Nelson's father lives in Hegewisch, Ill, and 10 years ago was a coal miner, so poor that he could scarcely earn enough for his family. One day there was an accident in the mine and Nelson was struck by some sliding coal and sus- tained a serious injury-a rupture. He went to a doctor and was told that an operation would make him as well as he ever was, and that the man of medl- cine would perform it. The charge would be $500 payable in advance. He might just as well have asked the man for a million.
 Nelson tried to work, but found he of food. Battling Nelson felt great sympathy for his father, who still was quite young, being only 40 years old. The boy had been in several fights around Hegewisch and shown pluck and good form. About the time wh en his father had become hopeless and looked forward to years of suffering 2 and poverty and helplessness some men in the neighborhood made up purse and backed the Battler to fight boy down near St. Louis, $500 to go to the winner. Young Nelson's fare was paid to the scene of the fight and he knocked out his opponent The $500 was given to him, and besides that he had only 25 cents. He wrapped up the $500. hid it under his waistcoat, bought a quarter s worth of ch eese and bread and walked more than 100 miles to his home. He gave the $500 to his father, and the latter was immediately operated on. and today, well and strong, he is living a life of comfort and happiness on d farm which his son later on gave to him.

Advertising and Railroad Passes

The Monon railroad case is a test case so far as the swapping of adyer- Using for transportation is concernerd. The case came before Judge Kohlsaat of the United States circuit court at Chicago, and he held that an exchange of that sort is against the policy of the rate law. In substance he says the rate law seeks to put transportation on one level to all. The Chicago judge thinks the exchange of goods of any sort for transportation would lead to inequalities in the prices of transporta- ton-that some would secure transpor- tation at lower prices than others could. and in order to avoid this he decided that the policy of the rate law demands that all transportation should be on money basis.
 The reasoning of the Chicago judge ia not very convincing. In effect he decides that advertising cannot be paid for in transportation because abuses

Captain 0'Brien Stands UlOppOSed

The withdrawal of ex-Mayor Dren- nen from the mayoralty race affords Capt Frank P. O'Brien an excellent chance to go down in history as the first mayor of Greater Birmingham. It bring his skill and experience in pub lie affairs to the task of assimilating AZ square miles in one homogeneous city. His tried courage and will power will be needed at every step of the inn portant work
 Probably the task will be rendered easier by gradual accessions between the present time and the first day of October of next year, when the King bill becomes operative. This business in any of it's forms far transcends the routine work of the city government, and it will come to Captain OBrien, who is as full of energy and civic pride as any egg is full of meat. He will be an executive of untiring determination and inf1exible honesty. He will not sit as judge to say what laws are good laws. All laws will look alike to him, and all evil-doers will soon as- certain that he plays no favorites.

Gaudin, who has just returned from Fort Worth, T was attracted by a railroad booklet advertis- ing Birmingham on account of the Con- federate Veterans reunion Except for a special occasion of this kind, Birmingham gets a poor show for any advertising in Texas. Instead, the railroads here in Bir- mingham advertise in local papers their special homeseekers' rates for Texas, and even offer cheaper fiat rate to any Texas town than you could get from Texas to Birmingham.
 It is only during the summer that the roads in Texas offer reduced tourist rate 10 Blount Springs. Ala, and they do not allow stop-over privileges, yet the tickets you buy from here to Texas allow stop ever at any town west of the Mississippi river.
