The superstitious Moslem.

IldlR pei . NCShlJ.
The Moslem faith lays much stress
upon rites n incantations for 20
pitiating evil spirits, which are sup
posed to be In constant attendance
upon all daily concerns IN the life Of
a These spirits, called jinnee, may
become visible by a change in the den
sity OF their composition. Supposed to
consist Of minute particles, they be-
come visible or invisible by a rapid ex-
pansion or diminution OF their volume.
The jinnee are not all spirits Of dark
ness, but comprise the good ones az
we'll. These latter may be easily rec
ognized on sight by their respondent
beauty. though the former type are
hideous n disgusting. Many culti-
waited and highly educated Mohamme-
conversed with them, and they
display charms and talismans for sum-
moning the good and warding off the
evil demons. During the feast of RAJ
madam, all evil spirits are supposed to
be strictly confined within the bowels
of the earth, and unable to cause any
disturbance. At all other times, the
sons of the faithful seek to exclude
these undesirable attendants from the
houses by scattering salt or iron filings
about the floor, especially if the room
be an empty one. The favor1te lurking
places of jinnee are supposed to be
crossroads, vacant houses, baths, un-
covered jugs OF pals and yawning
mouths. This necessitates the covering
up n thorough sprinkling of recep-
tacles which might harbor spirits,
whenever the householder leaves home.
Special prayers for such preventions
are also authorized by the Koran.
The Moslem is constantly repeating
pious phrases, such as In the name Of
God. the compassionate, the merciful,'
to drive away evil presences whenever
some business transaction is undertake

or leaving a house, meeting or parting
from a friend, partaking Of a meal.

FROM the NEBRASKA Farmer.
Confronted with high priced feeds the
farmer and stock grower is compelled ia
feed ju~diciously. There is a way to feed
even e0-cent corn proitably when s. and
81 per hundred may be had for it when
turned into beef or pork. The one way
to do this most efrectually is to make the
young stock grow from the start.
There is no money in ''roughing'. yo,ns

colts will be found a losing proposition II
any figures are kept on the operation. II
is much better to SO balance the ration
that the concentrated foods will give their
maximum feeding value when blended
with that very plentiful food, grass. Now
is the time to grow the young things
cheap and rapidly.
Pigs OF April and May farrow are now
ready to leave the dam and they should
be taught to eat so that when they are
weaned they wills not lose a day in growth.
This may be done by keeping before them
the foods which they shall be expected
to live upon after weaving. We find that
the feeders who derive the best results
grind such foods as corn, oats, barley. al
falfa, or whatever foods seem to he
handiest and feed these dry, except fol
having a bit OF milk or water poured over
the dry, ground feed after it is distributed
In the trough. We know Of q great many
feeders who o the feed, but we are
led to believe that the one who mixes the
least water with feed for young stock

The Recognition of Lee.
Washington Post.)

A resolution has been introduced
into the House calling upon the ma
ton to recognize the greatness of
Gen. Robert E. Lee by erecting a
monument to his memory in the city
of Washington. 1t is believed that
such an act on the part of the ma
tional government would go far tow
ard erasing all the bitterness of
feeling between the North and the
South which inevitably followed the
civil war
The men of the North and the men
of the South are, today, all Ameri-
cans, equal in honor and loyalty and
the privileges of citizenship. Every
just American wishes with all his
heart to see the last iota of sectional
feeling between Americans perish,
even from memory, and become as
irreyOcable as the lamentable deeds
of the past But it is open to ques-
ton if a monument to the great
Southern soldier erected by the nat
ional government would help in
accomplishing that end. 1t is doubt
full if the South herself would wish
it for her beloved leader.
The enemies of Gen. Lee have unit
ed with his followers in paying a
tribute to his lofty character. Mill
tary men the world over have praised
his genius in war. And if in the
South his memory is given reverence,
in the North it receives respect. There
are few now, save only those whose
feeling is tinged with rancor, to
give to Lee the ugly name of traitor.
His sword followed his convictions,
and they were no doubt, lofty and
honorable and sincere. But Lee, the
great soldier, was not of the United
States He used his powers against
it. All his finest achievements were
performed as a foe of this govern
ment. And though the whole country
may appreciate his splendid nature,
may even be proud of him as man,
it has no more reason to erect a
monument to his high character than
it has to build memorials to it's thou
sands of other men of noble qualities
who have lived and died unsung. 1t
is in honor of their achievements,
rather than of their moral qualities,
that government erects mOnu-
ments to the memory of it's sons.
Since then, the genius of Lee was
used against the United States gov
eminent and not to preserve it, it
is difficult to see why and how, with
dignity, the United States can Off
cially honor him. Washington was
as much son of England as Lee
was son of the United States, and
individual Engishmen everywhere
praise and admire the greatness of
George Washington. But that Eng
land should build a memorial to him,

ELECTRIC BOAT INVESTIGATION

Investigation into the alleged at
tempts of the Electric Boat company
to influence legislation has developed
good rounds for suspicion, apparent
ly. Whether or not any member of
congress actually received a consider
alton for voting for the projects of
the company has not been disclosed.
1t has been shown, however, that at
least some of the congressman were
subjected to gentle pressure.
Perhaps it is less true now than in
previous times, but there is too
much lobbying with congress. Rich
corporations in some instances main
tain a force of smooth agents to work
for their bills, or against bills which
they@ oppose. 1t is but natural that
these agents would resort to any
kind of Influence" to further the
cause of their employers. 1t is also
to be expected that congressman could
be found whose finances were in
such a bad shape that no objection
would be made to finding" a fat
roll of bills, and that they should not
trouble to inquire who lost them.
In fact it is an open secret that
some of the big interests have Sena-
tors and Congressman whom they have
elected to represent them. Some of
the smaller states are said to be as
rotten in this way as certain English
boroughs. Of course men thus elect
ed would be more than likely to do
their masters bidding.
To find the Electric Boat Company
which does not manufacture boats
at all, able to round up orders against
bona fide makers, is certainly re-
markable state of affairs. Congress
man Lilley may not establish his
charges to the satisfaction Of the in
quiry committee, but he will con-
vince the people that there is some
thing rotten in Denmark"
Americus times-recorder. [volume] (Americus, Ga.) 1891-current, 1908-04-03
JUMPS on BONAPARTE

Attorney General Bonaparte was
the object of a somewhat bitter at
tack from Representative Clark, of
Florida, on Wednesday, in which the
congressman alleged that the Attor-
ney General of the United States knew
very little law. The records showed
that Bonaparte had not appeared be-
fore the Supreme Court in the last
five years.
This man." declared Congressman
Clark, sit not fit to be Attorney Cen
eraI because of his ignorance of the
law" He also charged that Bona
parte was not fit to hold his Office be-
cause of his own admission that he
is furthering a conspiracy TO invoke
the criminal law to warn people
against dangerous communities.
Without knowing anything of the
legal abilities of the Attorney Gen
eral, it is safe to join in Mr.. Clark's
condemnation because the official
has been warning immigrants from
parts of the South on account of an
alleged peonage case now and then.
We were not aware that it was the
function of the head of the law de-
partment to act as a "speiler" for
or against any particular section of
the country.
1t will be remembered that wo-
man was sent South to investigate al
legged peonage charges, and in order
to earn her money she "muck-raked'
about for a time, and then returned to
Washington with information tending
to sustain the official who sent her.
1t is possible that there are cases
where it is insisted that money advan-
ced be returned in money or labor,
but this is confined to no one sec
ton. In the South the employers
have to deal largely with the ignorant
negro, who has no sense of obligation
beyond that which appeals to him
directly.
1t is quite natural that the Florida
Representative should be antagonistic
to Bonaparte, but his remarks GER
tainly put the official on the defensive.
A lawyer whose experience had never
taken him beyond his own state GER
tainly seems to be lacking in the
breadth which the Attorney Cen
erals Office requires.
No Cabinet member should knock
one section of the country for isolat-
ed cases of alleged offenses, which
have not been established to the sat
isfaction of jury. 1t is a very poor
sort of judgment which would explode
a bomb for the purpose of killing a
gnat
