Beautiful Finance

The Federal Government has deficit Of
more than ninety million dollars. To that ex-
tent the outgo has exceeded the income. Yet,
somehow or other, those who manage our ma
tional funds feel able to continue to lend the
national banhs seveaty-four million dollars,
WITHOUT INTEREST.
And although Uncle Sam is in monetary
tight, no one would dare to use dollar of the
under the pretense that it is needed to but
tress THE NATIONAL CREDIT
If private citizen should manage his bust
ness as the Federal Government manages it's
own, he would be universally considered
crazy.

public. 1t is the stranger who doesn't care
whose team he frightens into a runaway,
whose vehicle he smashes, and whose wife or
child he hurts and kills.
Now, this being so, the proposed new road
law should be very carefully drawn with ref
erence to protecting the home folks against
these reckless strangers
The bill which will be offered to the Legis-
lature is fatally defective. We call the atten-
ton of members to that fact, and warn them
to be on the watch-out.
It's verbiage shows conclusively that it was
drawn by Northern lawyer, in the pay of
some automobile association. 1t gives altogeth-
er too much to the nonresident motorists, not
nearly enough to the people who are to be
taxed to construct and maintain the roads
The Jeffersonian. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1907-1917, 1909-07-01
Scout Cars and Good Roads

The JEFFERsoNIAN courts no fame as an old
fogy, and has no disposition to cater to the
popular prejudice against automobiles. The
motor car is here to stay; the airship is on its
way, and we might as we'll agree with tortured
Calico, that the world does move, orthodoxy
to the contrary Notwithstanding
But while the auto has come to stay, all of
us must recognize it as very dangerous ma
chine--dangerous to those who travel in it. as
we'll as to those who don't.
Every good citizen should favor good roads
and, SO far as we know, he does. Scout cars
and newspaper whoop-her-ups are not neces-
sary for that All of us want good roads for
all of u.s. 1t wouldn't be fair to tax the whole
county to give automobiles a good road from
Atlanta to Macon, and from Macon to Savan-
nah, etc.
Comparatively few people in each county
traversed by such highway would participate
in the benefits. If our road system, which now
bears somewhat heavily on the under dog, is
to be changed, let us adopt plan which will
distribute the advantages eQuitably.
Besides, we should adopt some definite Claw
of the road" adjusted to present conditions
We should prescribe, under reasonable penal
ties, the duty of the drivers of all vehicles, and
the duty of all vehicle drivers toward people
on foot.
Which side of the road must meeting We
hicles take? Shall each turn to the right, or
to the left? Make rule on the subject and
penalize each violation of it.
What warning must the auto give to the
buggy, or carriage, or wagon, or pedestrian?
Settle on rule, and make it compulsory, with
penalties.
Who has the right of way when the ques-
ton of precedence arises? No road law should
pass which fails to meet this question
Then, again, there is the speed limit, and
the policing of the road. Nonresident motor
ing parties are in the habit of coming through,
at forty-mile clip, as though it were the duty
of all creation to scoot out of the way. "Clear
the track !" is the reckless motto by which too
many of these touring cars are driven.
No state should adopt a road law which
fails to deal justly with all parties, those who
have autos and those who haven't 1t IS usu-
ally the nonresident acho does deviznaeqat acith
the automobile. Those who reside in the COM
munity find in public opinion power which
of itself is sufficient to safeguard the travelling

Home and Foreign Missions

hume UWU TOYHZSW IYESSZOWS
The preachers have misunderstood my po-
sltlon on foreign missions This misunder-
standing has led some of them-innocently, [
hOpe,-to misrepresent me.
Readers of the JEFFERsoNIAN know that [
have repeatedly declared myself in favor of
the right kind of missionary work. The Scrip
tural plan and the apostolic model command
my reyerent support. But what I do say is,
that the fOu2dang Of secular schools and co.,
Ieges, and the substituting Of aaatioe concerts
is altogether wrong In princip pie and devoid
of Scriptural authority
| mean to do all IN my power to make our
people see the FOLLY and THE DANGER of
secular education and industrial training to
the yellow, brown and black children of for
eign lands, 2ohen re need every dollar qoe'Ue
got for similar use at hOn1e. and when the
governments of those foreign people are offer
ing splendid facilities for the education of
those foreign children.
The wealthy Northern philanthropists are
crazy on the subject of negro education and
social equality in the South and nearly every
little niger is in school, while tens of thou
sands of our white boys and girls are in the
field or factory. And yet some of our preach
ers seem to be wild on the subject of taking
money out of the South to educate negro chill
dren in Africa, yellow children in China, and
brown children In Japan and India.
In the name of God what will be the
SOuth's future, if Yankee millionaires keep
on with their plans for negro education and
social equality, while the fanatics keep on
clamorlng for money to furnish secular edu-
cation throughout the heather world?
Here lies an appalling danger to the South,
and | am trying to get the people to see it,
The preachers ought not to denounce me ::
they ShOuzd study my position and come to
mig aid-FOR I AM RIGHT.
DIR. W. II. Smith, in the Christian Inde1,
says that | was in error about that gold let
tered church in Soochow: says it cost only
$4,000, and the money was a gift from Mrs.
Annie Yates Seaman The clipping from
which ! got the facts did not so state, but the
correction is cheerfully made.
Dr.. Smith takes me up, also, on the matter
of missionary salaries My statements were
taken from Mission Ec0n0mics,-a book
whose author was missionary of great ex-
perience.
DR.. Smith hardly wishes us to believe that
missionaries are not well paid, and that the
colleges and churches we have built abroad
have not cost us large sums For instance.
100000, gold was invested in the college at
Shanghai, as ] learn from the Baptist Ms
Sionary Magasine for May, 1909.
1t would be easy to enumerate many others
All, if Miss Emma Perry, of Laurens Coun-
ty. Georgia, had been given one-tenth of that
100000 She, noble little women is conse-
