HOME TRAINING AND CRIME.
From the Albany Herald.

We read much in the public prints
these days about the prevalence of
crime, and we also hear a good deal
of lamentation from our christian
pulpits over the increase of crime in
the country.
That crime is on the increase is a
fact not universally admitted by stu
dents of sociology, but those who
make a study of criminology are
busy with theories upon which they
undertake to account for the alarm
ing prevalence of certain kinds of
crime.
Various theories have been ad-
vanced upon the subject, but our
scientists and criminologists all, so
far as we have seen, seem to have
overlooked the one thing which we
firmly believe lies at the bottom of
the increasing prevalence of crime
laXity of home training.
In too many of our homes but lit
tie or no attention is given these
days to shaping the morals of chill
dren and impressing upon them les
sons that will in their very nature

his tfreless energy. He has been I'M
well for some months, owing to his
eXertiOns during last summer, and
all who have benefited by his gen
erOus hospitality and realized the
enthusiasm which inspires his labors
will wish him the speediest of recov-
cries. He has, indeed, brought the
ancient world close to us. But how
fieeting was all this magnificence. A
hundred years and less saw the rise
of the Second BabylOnian Empire, its
triumph and it's fall. Cyrus ravaged
great Babylon, and scattered its
wealth like the chaff of the summer
floors. The wolves cry
in their castles and the jackaIs in
the pleasant places. "-Correspond-

BLACK ROOT CAUSES LOSS
Over a Quarter Million Dollars Will
Be Lost in Cotton in Georgia
This Year.

ATLANTA, Georgia will
lose over a quarter million dollars
in her cotton crop this year on ac-
count of the ravages of the black
root, which is even greater in south
Georgia this year than ever before"
This is the startling statement made
by State EntOmologist E. l.. Wor-
sham in discussing the condition of
the cotton crop in Georgia today.
Reports are coming in daily, showing
the counties which are affected by
this cotton disease. Among those al
ready reporting it are Irwin, Sumter,
DOoly, Crisp, Turner, Worth, Stew
art, Taylor, Pulaski, Green, Ben Hill
and others. In an effort to check
it there is now pending in the house
bill introduced by Representative
Henderson of Irwin county, asking
for a special appropriation of $1O,-
600 with which to raise resistent
varieties of cotton, which by expert
ment it has been found will with
stand this disease. Not only is this
loss accruing in the feecy staple, but
is likewise preventing the planters
from securing and selling their cot
ton seed, which has come to be
most valuable part of the cotton
crop. The increasing demand for
cotton seed meal as a cattle food,
now that live stock raising is on
boon in Georgia, has created a splen-
did market for all the cotton seed
which are raised in this state.

GOV. BROWNS BOOK.
So Good That Tom Watson Has
Read 1t Twice.

Will the elevation of Hon. Joseph
M. Brown to the governorship of
Georgia stimulate interest in his
book, "Astyanax?" Hon. Thomas E.
Watson has recently reviewed the
work, ana stakes his reputation as
a literateur upon the declaration that
it is a great book" Mr.. Watson
read 400 pages of it at a sitting,
mot as penalty, but because it
held me" By way of emphasizing
its power he says: Many years
ago | read Paradise Lost; no earth
ly consideration would tempt me to
do it again" And yet he read Joe
Browns book through twice before
reviewing it. There is no American
book within my knowledge" says
Mr.. Watson, whose English is so
pure and whose style is so exquisite
ly simple and polished. Indeed, the
volume is perfect specimen of the
very best literary style Having in
mind Mr. Watson's own ability as an
author, it must be admitted that he
is competent to judge his contempo-
raries.

serve as a foundation upon which to
build stable character. The train
ing of children in morals as we'll as
manners is duty devolving upon
parents, and those who neglect it or
shift it to the school teacher or the
Sunday school class leader are rec
reant to the first and highest re-
spOnsibility placed by the laws of
both God and man upon parenthood.
A child that has had proper home
training will not drift into criminal
paths with the same thOughtlessness
and Indifference that may be expect
ed of one whose moral education has
been neg ected and upon whose
young life no lasting impressions as
to what is right and what is wrong
have been made. 1t is the early
training that children get in the
privacy of the home life that shapes
their lives, and parents who neglect
their duty to their children in this
connection are themselves guilty of
a great crime that will almost inevi-
tably bring retributive sorrow or dis
grace upon them.

TILLMAN's SPEECH ON ART.

Admission of Masterpieces,

Admission of Masterpieces.
Washington dispatches bring the
story of the debate on the free art
paragraph of the tariff bill In the
Congressional Record, however, is
the full text of the speeches, and
Senator Tillman of South Carolina
in that debate showed a new side to
his complex and many-sided char
acter.
Prefacing his remarks with his US
ual preamble that he felt bound lin
an humble and modest way, making
no pretense whatever of being an
art cOnnonisseur," to voice his pro-
test against the imposition of a du-
ty on works of art, Mr.. Tillman made
the ablest argument presented on
the subject,
Senator Lodge, who enjoys the rep
utatiOn of being the most cultured
man in the senate, Senator Aldrich,
whose wealth and tastes have made
him more than an average Judge of
the fine arts, and Senator Root, who
has been for years a trustee of the
Metropolitan Museum of Fine Arts
in New York, all spoke in favor of
free art, but it remained for Mr.. Till
man, who glories in describing him
self as "a cornfield lawyer" to pre-
sent the most eloquent and forceful
argument in support of the free ad-
mission of what he termed ''those
masterpieces that we can get as
means of elevating the thought and
inspiring the genius of our people.
To Mr.. Tillman more than any 9TH
er was due the adoption of the free
art paragraph by vote of SO to IA.

pounds, will propel a one-tOn truck

YALE and HARVARD REST
Rival Foot Ball Teams Go Into Seclu-
sion for Two Days.
CROWDS BEGINNING TO ARRIVE
Indications that All Of the $4,000
seats in the stadium VIII he
Taken-NIen Are in Fair
shape.

CAMBRIDGE, Nov. 19.-The rival foot
ball teams of Harvard and Yale rested
quietly last night some miles from the
scene of Saturdays encounter with their
hard training days behind them and their
championship honors still to be gained.
Within the walls Of the Stadium are seats
for 5000 persons, many OF whom are al
ready crowding into Boston, eager for
what is generally expected to be the finest
exhibition of modern foot ball ever played
on an American gridiron.
The custom of sending the two teams into
comparative seclusion forty-eight hours be-
fore the game, was pursued today. Harvard
j%ourneyed down to the Norfolk Hunt club
at Medfield, while Yale came up from New
Haven to s%ojourn for a couple Of days
at the Woodland Park hotel at Auburn
dale.
The Yale men will probably take a troll
ley ride to the Stadium tomorrow afternoon
to become acquainted with the grounds.
The Harvard team, led by Captain Fish,
was given an enthusiastic send off from
college this afternoon. There were but
few llmpers and even Captain Fish, who
received a hard blow in the chest last
Saturday, skipped about Harvard square
in a style which belied the rumors that
he would not be in the lineup on satur-
day.
Neither is Yale free from an injured list
and the right end position was said to-
night to be still in doubt.
Yale still held the favorite position in
the betting today, although the odds. which
earlier in the month stood 8 to 8, have
scaled to 8 to 4.

there is a feeling among the small party

After a week of rest following the Ne

put In O hard weeks practice for the game
with Iowa on Saturday. The showing OF
Iowa against Ames has frightened the
Kansas coachers and %rooters, and there is
a well defined fear that Iowa will defeat
Kansas or batter the Jayhawkers up to
such an extent that the team will fall prey
to Missouri on Turkey day.
Coach Kennedy had planned to use only
subs against Iowa. When he learned Of
thA Ames-Iowa game he changed all his
plans and will start the game with the
regulars. Tho regulars will not be taken
out until the game is won or lost.
