THE CORSET WAR.

The war against the corset goes
merrily on. Now comes the Belgian
minister of public instruction with a
circular letter, covering all the lyce-
ums and higher schools for girls, alb
'solutely forbidding school girls to
appear at school in corsets. Thus
does this official of today join the
rank of other leaders of men who
have stigmatized the corset as the
assassin of the human race
Though i'll will has always ragged
against it the corset remains a shield
and buckler. It's origin has been the
subject of numerous debates. Some
chroniclers have dated 1t from the
little Wristbands or circlets of the
Egyptians and Greeks; others say
that no one ever heard Of anything
like corset before the middle ages,
when it was first known by the name
of justau-corps; later, during the
same age, it was called surcot and
corsetus. At that time, an authority
on the subject tells us, it was a
sleeveless, very stiff continuance,
with laced front and back.
Priests, doctors, moralists and phi
losophers of the past and the pres
ent have cried out and are crying
out against the corset, but they have
been and they are as powerless
against it as were the kings and the
emperors of the days gone by.
1t remains to be seen what Bel
gian official can do. So far, the cor
set has sat far above the judgments
of man; fashions have come and
gone; temporal power has displaced
one law for another; kingdoms with
their prisons, centuries with their
changes are in 1.-The eternal past, )"
but corsets remain and shall remain
while all women and few men live
to wear them.

THE TREAsURY's CONDITION.

Believing il to be his duty to as
certain the condition of the state
treasury, both on his own account
and that the people might know the
true facts, Governor Brown, soon af-
ter his Inauguration, employed AlOn-
aa Richardson & Co., the expert ac-
eeuntants, TO audit the books of the
treasurer and the comptroller gen
eral, and the result of that investi-
cation was made public Saturday in
q report TO the governor. 1t shows
tnat the state is spending more mon
y than it's income warrants, and that
on Jan. LIST, 1910, three months
hence, the treasury will face a de-
felt OF three quarters of a million
dollars-s72S,566.5O, to be exact
a showing that is not as encouraging
IS had been hoped for.
1t sets at rest any further conten-
ton as to the facts connected with
the financial condition of the state.
1t is a situation with which the
legislature win have to deal, and
when that body meets next summer
it. should dose no time in beginning
an earnest effort to assist Governor
Brown in getting the state back on
business basis.

a.. TIME! q. CHANGE!

Mr. Hearst has accepted the nomi-
nation of a mass meeting of four
thousand citizens, and is running for
mayor of New York again as an. in
dependent candidate. An interest
ing circumstance in connection with
New York politics is how that man
Hearst has grown on the town during
the past few years. 1t hasn't been
so very long since a great many safe
and sane New Workers looked upon
the exotic from California as a most
undesirable citizen. They used to
brighten their children when they
we're naughty by threats that Hearst
would catch them if they didn't
watch out To their minds there was
only one other evil influence beyond
Hearst-the chap that Lewis Nor
rison made famous. Now some Of
these same staid old conservative
New Workers are sitting at Hearst's
feet and eating crumbs of politica
wisdom out of his hands. It's a drol
world, gentlemen.

ANOTHER UNPOPULAR FEATURE.

The OgIethorpe Echo points out
another Objectionable feature to that
Gerry bunglesome and already un-
popular law. the new registration
law. The Echo calls. attention to the
TACT that Acknowledgement Hart
holds that there is no provision in the
Jaw for voters becoming of age with
IN six months of an election to quail
y for voting. No man is entitled to
register until he is twenty-one years
of age, therefore even should be
secome Of age five months and TWEEN
5y-nine days prior TO a election there
IS no way under the law by which he
can qualify himself 10 vote in that
election.
So radically different is this new
'aw from any we have ever had that
t will be well for all who care to
rake part in elections to study it
carefully that they may not find
themselves disqualified to vote when
elections come around. Those who
are responsible for the law say they
will see that it is rigidly enforced.

LOOKS TO THE WHITE MAN.

Booker Washington thinks there
should be a larger percentage of ne
gro physicians patronized by negro
patients. That sounds logical. Yet,
says the Savannah News, the fact
remains that a negro who is sick has
not nearly so much confidence in
another negro, however learned and
capable he may be, as he has in a
white man. The black man in need
of help instinctively turns to the
white man. He feels, as our Savan-
nah contemporary says, that if there
is anybody in the world who can get
him out of his trouble it is the white
man, and he depends upon the white
mans sympathy and kindly feeling
to provide the thing needful to be
done. In an emergency a negro will
depend upon a white man ninety
nine times in a hundred in prefer
ence to depending upon any other
negro. There is no need to go into
the psychology of this condition; it is
fact that every negro knows and
respects"
