RATHER A SMALL PIECE OF BUS.
MESS.

A Southern Commercial Congress
will be held at Washington next
week. 1t will be attended by repre-
sentative men from the Southern
States. It's object is fairly well in
dictated by it's name.
Georgia viii be represented, of
course. But one fact stands out VITA
convincing cIearness in the list of
delegates recently announced, and
that is that it will be far from
strongly represented in some res
poets. Take Savannah, for instance,
the chief port of the State. through
which pass enormous quantities ol
Southern products to foreign coun-
tries and to our Northern states Two
delegates were assigned to it, only
one of whom in any sense represents
the vast commercial interests of the
city. Some little country towr 5
have been honored with an equal num-
Der of delegates.
We must confess we are surprised
at the action of Gov. Smith in this
matter. He has generally been too
broad to allow personal feelings to
enter into so important thing as
this. True, Savannah went overwhelm-
ingly against him, in the recent prim-
airy. But did not Editor Stovall
of that city write that classic edi-
torial on "The Wounded Lion at
Bay" sufficient offset for the loss
of the county?
Savannah has been distinctly
sighted. Savannah, of course, can
stand it. But it is a pity that Georgia
should be deprived of really strong
and thoroughly representative dele
CATION from its chief port. A horde
of men from the small towns, unable
to speak with any authority on ques-
tions of moment, will not make up
by their mere numbers for the alb
sence of a strong, well rounded and
thoroughly experienced delegation
from Savannah.

! DEMOCRATIC PARTY AND DEATH
New York World.)

There are no elements Of surprise
in Mr.. Bryan's San Antonio inter-
view
OF course he will take the nominal
ton for President again if he can
get it What is a fourth defeat to a
man who has already been thrice de-
feated, but who has so successfully
capitalized the prestige of his lead
ership that it yields him an income
of $40, GOO or 100000 a year in pro-
fits from his newspaper, his writ
ings, and his lectures? Deprive Mr..
Bryan of his perpetual candidacy for
President and he might say with
Shylock:
You take my life
When you do take the means
whereby | live
Much as we may deplore Mr..
Bryan's selfishness and his cold
blooded disregard of the interests of
his party, the face remains that if he
is again the Democratic candidate for
President the responsibility will
rest wholly upon the Democratic poll
ticians, and more particularly upon
the Democratic leaders in the South.
Mr. Roosevelt is boasting that IF
had been a candidate for President
this time l would have carried Geor-
gia and broken the solid South" AS
against Mr. Bryan he undoubtedly
would With Mr.. Bryan again the
Democratic candidate it IS likely
that any man the Republicans nomi-
nate can carry Georgia and
break the solid South. With
the Democracy all but ex-
terminated as a national organiza-
ton in the North, what would be left
of the party with the solid South
broken?
There is only one answer to Mr..
Bryan's complacent announcement
that @if the Democratic party and the
contingencies demand it, | would
again be a candidate That answer
is embodied in the Worlds question,
Shall the Democratic party die?"

AFTER HIGHER DIVIDENDS

With charming naivette, the manu-
facturers appearing before the con
gressional committee at Washington
are coolly asking for higher dutie
in order that they ma y pay large
dividends.
1t is really refreshing, as stud
in monumental human nerve, to rea
the detailed reports of the hearing
day after day. Hardly a session o
the committee but brings out som
such incident as the following, toll
in the Washington Post news col
umns:
The ways and means committe
heard the manufacturers and deal
ers in gypsum, cement and glas
yesterday at the hearings on tn
tariff, and some tall figuring wa
done by the witnesses, which some
what baff1ed the members of tn
committee. Inquiry developed tn
frank admission on the part of som
of the glass men that an increase i
tariff would not benefit the laborer
of this country This brought Repre-
sentative Boutrell to his feet.
For three weeks" he said, "w
have been listening to voluntary wit
nesses, and they have said that low
ering the tariff will not benefit tn
consumer. Now it appears that an
increase will not benefit labor. Wheth
er we raise or lower the tariff, there
fore, only one class will be benefited
and you belong to that class"
The glass men asked for radics
changes in the tariff schedule for a
kinds of plate manufacturers, an
said they needed for dividends extr
money which they would receiy
from a tariff that would cut dow
the foreign competition.

Evils Of kissing Habit.

Philadelphia, Pa, Nov. 30.-One
warm advocate of the anti-kissing
propaganda is DR.. Clara Scott, a
homeopathic physician.
Not only is Dr. Shoemaker cor
rect in his statements about the evils
of kissing, but in my opinion he does
not go far enough" she said. THE
number of diseases which kissing
causes is unbelievable to one who
has not studied the question. / firm
ly believe that the day will come
within a generation when formid-
able anti-kissing movement will be
established, and when kissing prac-
tically will be confined to the lower
classes, the educated people having
been brought to see the evils of the
habit.
'Of all forms, however, the kiss
ing of babies is positively the most
dangerous. More diseases are thus
communicated than the world has
any idea of
Next to the evil of kissing babies
comes the sweetheart's kiss. This
is one of the most dangerous of all

FORCING THE ISSUE IN OHIO.

XII
Foraker is forcing the high tariff
issue into the senatorial campaign in
Ohio. Judge Taft having practically
announced that he will insist on
a lowering of the duties wherever
possible, his brother cannot well as
sumo the contrary attitude in his
fight for Foraker's seat. The pres
ent senior senator has been quick to
avail himself of this, and has made a
distinct appeal to the high tariff SEN
timent of Ohio to rally to him as the
chief of stand patters."
In recent speech to a gathering
of men representing the wooden in
dustries of the state Foraker stated
that the greatest applause during the
recent campaign was given to utter
ances in favor of letting the tariff
alone. That, he claimed, showed how
the people of Ohio felt on this ques-
ton. Naturally Joseph B. feels with
them, and he closed his speech with
the declaration that if returned to
the Senate he would be found fight
ing for a continuation of schedules
under which Ohio industries had
prospered and its people found en-
ployment
Foraker has thrown the glove
down and Charles Taft will have nc
alternative but to accept it and pose
as a reformer on the tariff issue But
it is not unlikely that Foraker will
find that he has deceived himself as
to the real sentiment of the mass oil
Ohioans. True, that is great man
ufacturing state, but it is also great
consuming state, and the pressure OF
high prices must have been keenly
felt in the vast mass of its homes
When the question is properly put
before the people there is no guar
antee that Foraker Will not find him.

CRIPPLES RUN PRINTSHOP
Chicago Journal)

In the most amazing job printing

seventeen, a cripple from birth /;
Temple Brown, aged sixteen paralyz-

Clyman, his lower limbs utterly help
less from curvature of the spine, set
type, feed the press and do all the

The printing plant, plant which

in the back room of Arthur Moore's

Temple Brown lives at 1857 North

in the afternoon because before each

says Arthur Moore, because none OF
US can use his feet.
Joe Clyman sits on cushioned
chair at the case. The hard chair
wearies his delicate body too soon. He
has never in his life stood upon his
feet.
Temple Brown sits upon a table
feeds the press and is glad that he
can use his hands so we'll. He also
never has used his feet.
