MUN|CIPA[UKACY.
BY JOHN KnNDRrcK BANGS.

The greatest Invasion of the rights
Of private parties as yet recorded Is
alleged to have occurred recently Mt
Athens, N. Y, where, according to a
dispatch from the local correspondent
of a New York paper, a citizen un-
known, dissatisfied with the quality Of
the tar pavements, covered them with
feathers, with the usual result. This
is the first time In the history Of
American municipalities that a town
has been tarred and feathered. We
hope the tendency will stop with this
beginning. for we should not like to

The latest report Of the government
telegraphs and telephones of Great
Britain shows a loss for the year OF
S5.000.000. The proportion of this loss
properly borne by the telephone de-
partment is an Indication that, as far
as the taxpayers of Britain are con
cerned, talk is no cheaper than 1t used
to be.

Orange. Tex. Is one of the latest
towns to come In out of the wet. That
city constructed n small waterworks
system some years ago and operated 1t
for several years prior to 1902 at a
clear loss. In that year the city en-
tered into a lease with a private COM
pany, and the other day the contract
was revised and renewed for twenty
years. We are glad to note that at
least n Orange recognizes a lemon
when 1t sees 1t and refuses to allow
itself to be squeezed any longer.

COMMISSION NOT DISTURBED
REPORT OF THE GOVERNORS
AUDITOR GRANTEES THE
BOARD VERY MUCH.

ATLANTA, Ga.-Members of the
prison commission manifested little
surprise and no anger at the re-
cent report of the auditing company
appointed by Governor Smith to in
vestigate the books of the commits
sion and the financial management of
the prison farm. The special audi
tors report was made public Tues
day. 1t severely criticised the COM
missions method of keeping books,
but made no specific charge of
wrongdoing, or of waste or misap-
preparation of the states funds.
I'VE are rather gratified at the
report" said Captain GOodloe Yam
cey, SECRETARY of the commission, Gin
that after a careful investigation of
"a department handling about a, quar-
ter of million dollars of the state s
funds annually they were unable to
discover any discrepancies in our
books or to show where we had mis-
used dollar. While it is true that
we do not employ a complex system
of bookkeeping, our books are in
such a state that any one can tell,
after a brief investigation, just
where we stand. AS all the money
expended by us is done by treasury
warrants for specific purposes, the dt-
rection Of every dollar of which is

ADVICE IS CHEAP.

But listen, young friend; how
about the advice of such men as
Henry Ward Beecher, Horace Mann
and Hon. VIM. Pinckney White, ex-
governor of Maryland? Henry Ward
Beecher says; Whatever occupa-
ton you may choose as your life
work the first step is to secure a
practical business education; by all
means attend a good business col
lege." Horace Mann says: 'Educa-
ton is capital from which a profit
may be derived in subsequent life
it will pay an annual income with
out expense for insurance, repairs or
taxes; riches have wings, a good ed
ucatiOn is a more lasting resource. "
Governor White says: ut is a good
business knowledge obtained in the
business college that is so important
today. No man can succeed who is
not systematic; it is a rare eXcep-
ton that a man who has not
equipped himself with a business
knowledge ever succeeds in life"
Young friends, you are living in a
business age; at business you must
make your living; so why try to go
through life without obtaining a
thorough business training? The
business world today is holding out
greater inducements to our young
men and women than ever before

Personally we found the young
man who made the investigation for
agreeable. We extended him every
courtesy within our power, and
don't think he had as hard a time
in finding out where we stood as the
report might lead one to suppose.
AS to the alleged loss to the state
in the handling of misdemeanor con-
victs, we explained to him the pres
ent system and suggested remedy

AN ANTICIPATING SALOON.

DesMoines Has Something New in
Way of Thirst Quenching Parlor.
The city of Des Moines, Iowa,
seems to be prolific in innovations.
The first anti-treating saloon in the
United States was opened there May
22nd. Permit to open was granted
to man who controls Is saloons in
Des Moines. The proprietor declares
that treating will not be tolerated.
The bartenders will induce drinkers
to accept a substitute for liquor in
the form of buttermilk, sweet milk,
tea, coffee and other soft drinks.
The liquor habit will be discouraged
as far as possible.
This is an excellent idea. 1t is
something after the style of the
Gothenburg system of Sweden, and
the reformed public houses, conduct
ed by a company composed largely
of clergymen in England.

1t is reported that Conger has

twelve barrels of whiskey and a lot
of case goods are now at McMinn-

States during May of railroad, in

ing a capital stock of $258,459, 800
gives an idea of the wonderful COM
mercial expansion of the country,
says a New York paper. Incidental
testimony to the same effect is fur
nished by the speedy absorption by
investors of the $10,00O,O00 issue
of preferred stock put out by a new

he was going abroad to dispose of
