PEOPLE WITH SIX TOES
Community In Maine With
This Popularity.

On the line between Lincoln and
Sagadohoc counties is a settlement
of thirty farming folks who have a
popularity which is but little known
outside. 1t is not visible, and a
stranger might go there year in and
year out without ever DIS
covering that they were any differ
ent from ordinary people in farm
ing community. They are peculiar
for the number Of people in the set
tlement who have six toes on each
foot, one more than they really
ought to have and one more on each
foot than they are entitled to.
The six-toe belt lies partly in the
town of Dresden, in Lincoln county,
and partly in Woolwich, in Sagada-
hoe county. Just how many people
there are who have more than their
share Of toes in that vicinity would
be hard to say, but there is quite
number. and the way in which they
came by them is mystery in the
first place, although there are a
number of traditions as to how it
happened.
Like many country districts, the
people have been born, brought up,
settled on farms in the vicinity and
married into each others families
until time has produced a number
of six-toed people in comparatively
small place.
The sixth toe is an offshoot from
the little toe on the ordinary foot.
1t is perfect in shape, although it is
not always in alignment with the
other five toes of the foot. For this
reason it is troublesome as the peo-
pie advance in rs.-New York

Freedom of Press in Europe

In 1850, to print, in France, with
out special authority from the king,
was punishable by death. 1t was
not until 1881 that the law recog-
rized the liberty of the press and of
book selling. Liberty of the press
was secured to Austria-H Hungary in
the constitution of 1867. In both
Germany and Italy, what is called
this Liberty of the press" began in
l848. Belgium was a European pio-
neer. Her constitution of 1881 de-
clared her press free.

How Cheap is Human Life

One of the curious things about
the fearful story of death by vio-
lence is that human life is cheapest,
not in the large cities, though of
course the total number of deaths is
greatest there, as the casual observ-
er might suppose, but in the smaller
cities. And nowhere are lives held
so lightly as in the smaller cities of
Pennsylvania. Measured by the
deaths by violence human life is
cheapest in Butler, Pennsylvania,
where the annual rate is 1874 per
100, 900 population. Pittston, in the
same state, stands second with ra-
tic of 290.7, then came McKeesport,
Penn, 290.1; Shenandoah, Penn,
278.9; Pottsville, Penn, 276. Pueblo,
Col is seventh in the list with a rate
of 1898 Altogether there are me re
than score of small cities. ha of
them in Pennsylvania, the rest in
New Jersey. Massachusetts, Mich.
gan, Ohio, Indiana and Maryland in
which the death rate by violence ex-
ceeds the highest rate in any large
city.
The highest rate for large city,
1909 per 100000, is found in Pi ts-
burg If to this be added the death
rate from typhoid fever and other
preventable diseases, Pittsburg may
be deemed fairly entitled to such
glory as may attach to the fact that
human life is held cheaper within its
boundaries than in any other civil
lied community.
The total number of deaths by vic
lence in 1906 and the rate per 100,-
900 inhabitants from that cause in
seventeen of the larger cities are set
forth in the following table:

THE LOWLY PEANUT.

The gTOundpea crop of this cOun-
try for 1908 was valued at $4,000
600. Yet the 'goober," as it is COM
monty called, became of commercial
Importance only as far back as 1870.
1t would be we'll if peanut politicians
would develop as rapidly and as use
fully.
The peanut was known to some eX-
tent in colonial days, and probably
came from tropical America. Until
recently American peanuts were
grown chiefly in Virginia, Tennessee,
the Carolinas and Georgia. Now
they come from all of the South At
lantic States, the southern border
and California. Expert w R. Beat
tie, in a pamphlet issued by the De-
partment of Agriculture. says that
in the boil weevil districts they will
make frequently a more profitable
crop than cotton.
We read of peanuts plain roasted,
of peanut Gutter and peanut brittle,
of peanut oil, peanut meal, peanut
by-products for feeding stock, pea
nut hay-almOst equal to the best
clover-peanut forage to take the
place of corn, peanut vines and kerr
nels chopped into a balancing ration
for dairy COWS, and peanuts for fat
tening hogs.
Besides. peanuts are soil builders
and renovators. In the day of ad-
vancing cost of living they are
among the cheap things that make
good.

THE NEW TREASURE.

Governor Smith has appointed
Hon. Pope Brown of Pulaski county
state treasurer, which office be-
came vacant by reason of the death
of the late Capt. Robert E. Park.
Mr.. Brown has been more or less
prominent in politics for a number
of years, having been a member of
the legislature, served one term as
railroad commissioner by appoint
ment of Governor Gambler, and been
president of the state agricultural
society.
The new treasurer will hold the
Office for the balance of the present
term, and it may be that he will con-
tinue in office for the twO-year term
to which Captain Park was elected
at the last election, but which will
not begin until Governor-elect Jo-
seph NJ. Brown is inaugurated. He
has been commissioned by the gov
ernOr until his successor is elected
and qualified, and his successor can
not be elected unless the legislature
orders an election for that purpose.
There were a number of applicants
for the places, among them c. NJ.
Hitch of Atlanta, J. E. Mercer of
B. F. Perry of Canton
and Paul Trammell of Dalton, as
we'll as quite an array of gentlemen
who were mentioned.
The appointment of Mr. Brown has
been well received, and is generally
looked upon as an excellent one.

AN ELOQUENT SPEECH.
N the Savannah Press.

From the Savannah Press.
Senator Bacon of Georgia has just
delivered an imprisoned speech up
on southern progress and prosperity.
He pictured the progress of the south
since the war, always an interesting
subject. He said it was unfair and
unjust to tax one-half of the people
by a high tariff bill to support the
other half. This was an answer to
the contention of Senator Lodge of
Massachusetts that thirty million
American wage-earners are protect
ed by the tariff. He said the taxa
bic property in Georgia today was
assessed on a valuation of $800,00O,-
600, and that the wealth of the south
was $40, 1000.
AS to how much of southern pros
perity was due to northern capital
Senator Bacon replied that only a
small part of this vast wealth was
owned abroad. He said millions of
northern capital had come into the
south, and it's investment was well
coined by the southern people, but
that the $20,00O,0O0,OOO of wealth
was due mainly to the enterprise and
energy and courage shown by south
ernerS since the war.

THE JAIL CURE.

In the past few years there has
been great deal heard from high
official circles about curbing the
trusts and furnishing the malefac-
tors, but little has been done in that
direction besides making a noise. 1t
has remained for a Georgia court to
| do something along this line which
will be effective. In the United
States court at Savannah five promi-
nent and wealthy citizens who are
closely identified with what is known
as the turpentine trust have been
convicted of violating the antitrust
law, and all of them fined sums rang
ing from $4,000 to $4,000 and two
of them given in addition sentences
of three months in jail.
Those who were convicted and
the sentences which were imposed
by Judge William B. Sheppard
of Florida. who presided for
Judge Speer, are: Spencer P.
Shotter, chairman of the board of
directors of the American Naval
Stores Company, three months in
Jail and a fine of $1,000; Edmund
IS. Nash, president of the company,
$4,000 line; J. f. Cooper Myers, vice
president of the American Company
and president of the National Trans
DOr+o+iOp ond TorD,ipo1 Co,.~o,,r-
three months in Jail and a fine of
$4,000; George Mead Boardman of
New York, treasurer Of the Ameri-
can Naval Stores Company, $4,000
fine; Carl Moller of Jacksonville,
Fla, agent Of the American and gem
eral manager of the National Trans
portation Company in Jacksonville,
$4,000 fine.
These men who have been con-
yicted Of unlawful restraint of trade
have not paid the fines nor are they
serving the Jail sentences. They
may never do so, but there can be
no denial of the fact that the
moral effect of the verdict of the
Georgia court will extend throughout
the country.
The late president, Mr. Roosevelt,
and his understudies would have
found the Jail cure much more eff
fective than their grandstand plays
in their crusade against the trusts.

SubSidi@ing Learning THE Ogdeu Influence

Announcement is made by some
authority that the influence of the
industries of the country has been
eXerted towards removing from the
different colleges of America the men
who taught free trade to the stu
dents.
Now, as the Savannah Press cor
rectly comments, free trade is an
academic question. Practically, it is
not seriously to be considered, be-
cause this country raises taxes upon
imports and is not likely to try the
experiment soon of abOlishing Gus
tom houses. But the disappearance
Of the professors of a particular
school from the universities of the
north is significant. 1t shows what
great wealth can do when it controls
the education of the country. Men
who study and seek the truth ought
to be let alone. Men who give mil
lions of dollars to colleges or general
education may be expected, however,
to have something to say about the
curriculum. The General Education
al Board claims that it is especially

Well Said, Editor Pendleton.

From the Macon Telegraph.
The Augusta Chronicle doesn't

warming-up to Bryan Evident
ly he knows that Bryan is
dead duck politically.-Rome
Tribune.
1t amounts to this, and nothing
more: The Telegraph may not al
ways succeed, but it lives in the eff
fort to do justly and to love fairness.
Bryan is not our kind of democrat,
but he is honest and has friends and
influence He deserves fair treat
ment. When we shall go to battle in
1912 to elect democratic president
we will want and will need his help.
AS a candidate he is retired-he is
out of the question. But as a promi-
nent factor in party politics he is
with us yet for a long time, if he
lives. That is all. And isn't that
enough?

trial, moral or religious. One obiec-
ton to the Ogden movement made
by the Baltimore Manufacturers
Record and other critics is that the
torty-three million dollars education
al trust can determine largely which
institutions shall thrive and which
snail decay. 1t will possess enor-
nous power, and will really deter
mine the character of American edu-
cation. AS a mechanism for CON
trolling academic opinion there has
perhaps never been anything in the
history of education that would com
pare with the board system of sub
sidizing learning.
This apprehension may be strong.
but the alleged disappearance of the
free trade professors shows what
may be done by a board dispensing
millions to needy colleges. 1t en-
courages communities and institu-
lions to develop a mendicant atti-
tude, and to turn from self-help.

THE ASYLUM INVESTIGATION.

Governor Smith has changed his
idea of having the state sanitarium
at Milledgeville Investigated by the
board of trustees, and has appointed
a commission Of three disinterested
persons-Judge H. G. Lewis of
Greensboro. DR.. Willis F. Westmore-
land of Atlanta and Hon. Seaton
Grantland of Griffin-to apply the
probe. We are of the opinion that
the governor has acted wisely in
changing his plan for making the
investigation. While the board of
trustees are Georgians of the high
est character and standing and there
can be no doubt that they would
make a thorough and conscientious
investigation and report the condi-
tons just as they found them it
would have too much of the appear
ance of the authorities of the insti-
tuition investigating themselves. Such
an investigation would not be &C
cepted by the public with that con-
fidence which should be felt in a
matter of as grave a character as
this. 1t is Georgia's greatest insti-
tuition and nOblest charity, and in
sitting the charges that have been
made against it's management there
should not be the least excuse for a
suspicion of whitewash.
