IiOu AS tAS great 1uHQa mental OaS1S Tor national efficiency. In this stage of the worlds history to be fearless. to be just and to be efficient are the three great requirements of national life.
 Administrations Aims Defended.
 This administration has achieved some things. It has sought, but has not been ahIe, to achieve others. Il has doubtless made mistakes. but al it has done or attempted has been ir the single, consistent effort to secure and enlarge the rights and opportuni ties of the men and women of the United States. We are trying to con serve what is good in our social sys tenn, and we are striving toward this end when we endeavor to do away with what is bad. Success may be made too hard for some if it is made too easy for others. The rewards of too small if the rewards for other and on the whole less valuable quali6es are made too large, and especially if the rewards for qualities which are really, from the public standpoint, un- desirable are permitted to become too large.
 The unchecked existence of monop- oly IS incompatible with equality of opportunity. The reason for the exer- c1se Of government control over great monopolies is to equalize opportunity. We are fighting against privilege It was made unlawful for corporations to contribute money for election expenses in order to abridge the power of spe- cial privilege at the polls Railroad rate control is an attempt to secure an equality of opportunity for all men af- fected by rail transportation, and that

O y. | of life in the mines is appalling. The larger part of these losses of life and property can be avoided.
 Our mineral resources are limited in quantity and cannot be increased or reproduced. With the rapidly increas- ing rate of consumption the supply will be exhausted while yet the nation is in its infancy unless better methods are devised or substitutes are found. Fur ther investigation is urgently needed in order to improve methods and to de- velop and apply substitutes.
 It is of the utmost importance that a bureau of mines be established in ac- cordance with the pending bill to re- duce the loss of life in mines and the waste of mineral resources and to in vestigate the methods and substitutes eral supplies. Both the need and the public demand for such a bureau are rapidly becoming more urgent It should cooperate with the states in supplying data to serve as a basis for state mine regulations. The establish ment of this bureau will mean merely
 
 the transfer from other bureaus of work which it is agreed should be transferred and slightly enlarged and reorganized for these purposes.
 Conclusions.

Major p. L. Palmer's Inspection
OF State Troops Endes

Atlanta, Ga.--Major Frederick L.
Palmer, inspector general Of state
troops, declares that much improve
ment has been made in the Rational
guard during the past year. He has
completed his rounds for 1909, and is
now preparing his reports, one Of
which will be for the National War
department and the other for the
governor.
Some companies were found to
have gone down since my visit Of last
year." he said, "but the majority were
found 10 be in better shape than be-
fore On the whole, there has been
material Improvement, and will SO
report.
1T was found necessary to disband
only one company, the one at Ath-
ems. am in hopes that the young
men Of that city will get together and
reorganize the commend and be re-
admitted into the service, which they
can do at any time. AS soon as we
are satisfied that the company will be
kept on good footing and up to the
regulations we will be glad to rein
state it.
1T seems odd that the only company
that couldn't pass inspection was in
one Of the cities Of the state, and the
only one in that city. There is no
reason in the world why the city of
Athens couldn't have one of the best
military companies in the National
guard, and / am told that they once
did have. AS a matter OF civic pride,
without considering the protection it
affords, the people of the town should
get together and reorganize the COM
mand and put it on sound and safe
footing"
Several towns near Athens which
are much cmaller have splendid COM
panies which stood excellent inspec-

Prison Farm Will Not BE
Bought at Any Til

Atlanta, Ga.-No prison farm will
be purchased during the administra-
ton Of Governor Hoke Smith.
That seems certain. No steps are
being taken by the prison commission
to submit another recommendation to
the governor, who turned down the
Wimberly farm several weeks ago;
the governor is occupied with other
matters and has apparently dismiss
ed the matter from his mind; and the
administration passes out in a very
few weeks.
Moreover, the spring is well az
vanced and crops are in the ground
all over the state. Every one of the
farms that the state would consider
is now under cultivation. None Of
them would be sold to the state with
cut sufficient advance in price to COW
er the crop growing; and the state
would not consent to purchase that
would so strongly SAVIOR of deal in
futures.
Commissioner Wiley Williams re-
turned to the Offices of the prison de-
partment, after an absence OF two
weeks, during which he had inspect
ed seventeen county convict camps in
various parts Of the state, mostly in
south Georgia. Commissioner Will
lliams was communicative enough
about camps, but was clam on the
subject of farms.
II would rather. not talk about
FARMS he said, dismissing all ques-
tons.
Since Governor Smith sent the
Wimberly recommendation back to
the commission the matter has grown
cooler and cooler, till now it is almost
cold.

Dying Prisoner Chained.
Prison Commission to Investigate

TI4o0H SSsHilSSiSH ~ iuNSS6s9AbV
Atlanta, Ga.-Steps have been TAX
en- by the coutny commissioners and
the prison commission to investigate
the charge that a prisoner in the Full
ton county chain gang was kept
shackled until eighteen hours before
his death in the hospital from fatal
complaint.
The prisoner was e. G. Hues, a
young Alabama white man sent up
for three years for forgery. His case
came to the attention Of a. minister
visiting the camp. It was found that
the young man was slowly dying, and
could not survive. He was anxious
to breathe his last at home among
his relatives.
The case was brought to the atten-
ton Of the prison commission and the
governor. The first Immediately rec
commended and the second granted a
pardon.
After the pardon had been obtained
the minister went out to the camp to
secure the mans release. He declares
that he found the dying prisoner ly-
ing helpless on a cot, with heavy
iron shackle bound to one of his legs.
1t was under the stripes and could
not be easily seen. 1t took several
men to remove it, and the prisoner
came near to succumbing from the ex-
ertion the removal required.

Naval Militia To Stay
Ashore This Year.

Atlanta, Cain the dispatches
from Washington announcing the
dates for the maneuvers aboard some
government warship of the naval mi
litia of the various states, it was mo-
ticed that Georgia was omitted.
Georgia has one division of naval
reserves at Savannah, under Lieuten-
ant Commander RaiIford Falligant. 1t
was recently re-organized, and is con-
sidered now in pretty good shape.
The fact that Georgia reserves were
to have no maneuvers this year has
occasioned some little surprise.
1t came about through the refusal
of the national navy department to
pay for the subsistence of the men
while on duty.
