Arbitration In the Georgia Railroad

The differences that have arisen be- tween the Louisville and Nashville railroad and the Atlantic Coast Line on the one hand and their white fire men on the other are, it seems, to be arbitrated under the Erdman act passed by the Sixtieth Congress. Al ready Hilary A. Herbert has been named an arbitrator by the railroads and Congressman Hardwick by the white fremen, and these two will name the third arbitrator today. If they do not or cannot name the third arbitra- tor, Chairman Knapp of the interstate commerce commission will complete the board of arbitration.
 Upon the selection of the umpire or third arbitrator much depends, for the arbitrators will sit as a court to decide a concrete phase of race issue, and their decision will legally bind all parties to the contest, and it will stand as a precedent in similar cases throughout the south-for that matter, throughout the country.
 It is an important piece of business, and Messrs. Hilary and Hardwick are admirably fitted for the work in hand. The unionizing of the race issue pre- sents a complicated problem and the judgment of the new board of arbitra- tors thereon may easily become his toric departure, and it is sure to be- come at any rate historic material.

HUMBLE GENIUS.
ne New York World.

From the New York World.
 Some of the well known earmarks of genius are dscernible in the dollar-a-day French workman who out of old cans and bottles and umbrella ribs has fash toned an improved system of wireless telegraphy. It was from a discarded sur gical syringe that Watt made his model of a condensing engine, and Herschel with a tiny homemade telescope dis covered the ring and satellites of Saturn. The great workman Is careless of his tools
 If Naudin's invention meets the tests to which it is to be subjected with a view to it's adoption in the French naval service he will rank with other great inventors from humble life-with the bar Der who invented the spinning-jenny, the colliery engineman who gave the world the locomotive, with the inventors of the sewing-machine, the airbrake, the electric light and hundred other indispensable devices of civilization.
 The old miracle of genius is repeated almost daily-in the case of the cob bler's son who becomes great sculptor, the child of the slums who becomes the great actress, the country curate's sickly boy who wins the command of the seas oftehest found in the lowly but why it should be so not all the theories of heredity can explain.

FRANCE NOT DECADENT.

From the New York World
 Dr. Jordan's statement to the gradu- ating class of> Bryn Mawr that France is a decadent nation produced the re- sponse from a French professor, That Is lie, monsieur" Deplorable Roosevelt ian manners to be exhibited thus at com mencement exercises; but in an open debate Dr. Jordan might have difficulty in maintaining that France is decadent. Nor was the statement tactful, since the French ambassador was so soon to present to San Francisco, in Dr. Jor- dans state, a medal in commemoration of the admiration of France for the earth quake city's rapid rise from destruction.
 "Frenchmen themselves acknowledge their decadence," said pr. Jordan. Many do in moments of pessimism, just as many Englishmen now say hard things of their country. Visitors to Paris who occupy themselves mainly with it's invitations to vicious conduct may share the opinion. But they are wrong; France Is not de- cadent, and Dr. Jordan does well to ex- press public regret that he made tho statement.
 oucH dSscIllOH IS Ollou DdSe0 OI Qe- clining birth rate, a fact which is ob- served in all civilized nations. But even in this respect the tide seems to have turned. The French figures for 1908 show an excess of 46442 births over deaths.
 Prosperity is more uniformly distributed in France than in Germany or England There is less misery. far less unemploy- ment. Germany has succeeded France as the chief military power of the conti- nent, but France teaches the world heal ing if not killing. She leads in the fine arts. Of thrift and sobriety her plain people are patterns The world looks with respect to her financiers. AS agri- culture has not declined the health and stamina of her people are better than in England. Education Is of high order. The home life of the majority of French families Is placid and virtuous.
 What Edmund Burke said of the im- possibility of drawing an indictment against a nation applies with singular force to the country that has been for so many years such a center and source of civilization as France. Mayor Taylor of San Francisco spoke the language of truth and not of compliment when. In thanking M Jusserand for the medal, he expressed the pride of his city that ESQ great country as yours" should thus have honored It.

Curtailmelt Not The Issue

While Montgomery remains as silent as the tomb on the fee issue except when the Times speaks out, the Mobile Register has recovered it's voice, and proceeds to say:
 Some up-country paper finds fault with The Register for not joining in the campaign against the fee system. This to your unclel The Register has grown gray fighting the fee system; what is bet ter perhaps it has given the fee system not few upper-cuts that have weakened its grasp and given reform some measure of success. We are glad to see some of our Journalistic friends busy with the same subject. They can rely upon 1t that when Mobile county is heard from in the legislature 1t will be for the cur tailment of the fee system.'
 It is difficult to locate and identify !, the upper-cuts mentioned by the Reg ister Under section 96 of the consti- tuition of 1891 those upper-cuts must have been felt by the fec brigade throughout the state, and it is certain that they did not extend to Jefferson county, where even some measure of success" would be welcomed. How ever, the support of the Register is valuable and full of promise, even if its upper-cuts in the past were not felt at this distance.
 The Register tells the opponents of the fee system that they can rely upon it that when Mobile county is heard from in the legislature it will be for the curtailment of the fee sys- tenn" But should it stop with curtail- ment? What is wholly iniquitous and indefensible should be abolished, not simply curtailed. The experience of the states Is that no lasting reform of the fee system is possible. If the fee brigade be permitted to take an inch it will soon take an ell, and there is but one true policy, namely, abolish it altogether by putting salaried men in the county offices.

RUSSELL SAGE.
MuIti-Milllonaire Was Pleasant Man
 nered Except In Money Matters.

From the New York Press.
 Russell Sage was notoriously mean in money matters, but the most democratic of American millionaires, and except where his dollars were involved, simple and kindly in manner. At the time of the Northern Pacific bombshell, in May, 1901, a reporter called on him to get his explanation of the corner which ran Northern Pacific shares of common stock up to $1GJ0 in day. only to send them crashing down the next. The reporter called at his office in Broad street with a letter of introduction from a magazine editor, and, squeezing in the outer office past row of unpainted dry goods boxes, which were evidently used for storing papers in place of a safe, he found the old millionaire in his rusty clothes, cheap necktie and frayed shirt and collar sitting at little stand, with nothing before him but a pencil and @ small pad of white paper scarcely large enough to contain a trif1ing computation in figures. Sage said he was very busy and asked his visitor if he could not come to his house at night.
 At the door of the brownstone house in f11tn avenue, near F'Orly-SecOnu street, that night the reporter was met by Sage himself. He was escorted into the back parlor or sitting room, but was shut off from the front room by folding doors. At a small table Mrs. Sage sat reading the evening newspaper, while Sage beck oned the newspaper man to take seat beside him on a low lounge in front of the folding doors. The springs were broken or so weak that the two fell close together
 After telling what he knew about the Northern Pacific panic Sage became remi- niscent of his early life, of the Goulds, Morgan and other men whose names were on every tongue. He spoke with the simplicity of a man accustomed to run a village store. He told of Morgan as a young man who had introduced into business methods and ideas that wero new and strange to him and contrary to his early training, and said he wasn't sure yet how 1t would all come out He spoke of Jay Gould and the journey they had made together across the continent just before Gould completed his purchase of Missouri Pacific, and explained that he believed in the semi-southern route across the continent rather than the northern one of James J. Hill, because the warmer country would be more productive and invite settlers sooner

JUNGLE TOMS CABIN"
Son of Mrs. Stowe Tells How Mother
 Wrote the Book.

From the New York World.
 After evening service at the Church of the Ascension, Fifth avenue and Tenth street, last night the congregation ad- journed to the parish hall where tho Rev. Dr. Charles Edward Stowe made an address on his mothers great book, Uncle Toms Cabin"
 My mother wrote Uncle Toms Cabin,'" said Dr. Stowe, "simply be- cause she was a woman and a mother. She knew nothing about the arguments that had been put forth by each side. but she had babies of her own and she had negro servants also. When she learned that some of those women whom she employed had their babies torn from them, that is what hurt her most and touched her heart.
 "Then her brother, Charles Beecher, on his return from New Orleans. told her of the misery in which these poor people lived. Her sister-in-law was there at the time, and she exclaimed oh, Harriet, if I could write like you I would write something about these poor people, My mother, on the impulse of the moment, exclaimed, So will
 My mother had not the faintest idea what she would write about until one day she was in church and suddenly the whole scene of Uncle Tom and Legree foated before her eyes. She broke into a fit of uncomfortable weeping. When she reached home she went up to her room and sat down and wrote the chapter that most of you are familiar with, The Death of Uncle Tom Then she called her six children around her and read it to them until they cried too. It was a cry from a woman's heart at what was wrong. I need not tell you how 1t worked Strong men read it and wept over it."
 Dr. Stowe said that if his mother had made sufficient money from the sale of the book it was her wish to found an institution for the education of negroes, but she had made little She got nothing from the sale of the book in Europe or from the dramatized yer sion. An old lady suggested that a fund be started to found such an institution as a memorial to Mrs. Stowe, and this was agreed to.

Vote One Week from Tomorrow

No thoughtful citizen of a great; growing. imperial county-by far the largest, richest and most populous in the state-will forget the best inter- ests of that county by neglecting to vote on Saturday week to put the jail and courthouses of the county on a basis that will remain good in all re- spects until 1850
 It is economy to do this. It is hu- manity. It is good, common sense. Jefferson county can we'll afford to issue the bonds needed to build the proposed jail and courthouse in this city and a courthouse at Bessemer. The proposed issue would not increase the tax rate a penny.
 Not to vote on Saturday week would exhibit an indifference to the wants of the county in it's courts, really culpable indifference to plain human lty in the care of the county's numer- ous prisoners, and an apathy over the county's general condition.
 Vote then on Saturday week and see that your neighbors do likewise. The more the proposed bond issue is dis cussed the more it comments itself and 1t should be considered in the light shed upon it by the statement of the prospective plans of the Board of Revenue. That board can be trust ed to do it's work intelligently and conscientiously.

SONS OF THE RICH.

From the Boston Globe.
 President Wilson of Princeton univer- sity is sorry for the lad who is going to inherit money. Such a lad, he thinks is foredoomed to obscurity. He can't distinguished himself by pleasure,'' says President Wilson; The can't amuse him. self by adventure"
 The growing tendency to give some consideration to the tribulations of tho rich is very encouraging sign. We can remember time when the rich were absolutely neglected by the general public and philanthropists alike. No one seemed to care if the son of the rich man was so badly circumstanced that he often had to hitch his private car to a train of ordinary passenger coaches.
 Nor was the rich man or his sons treated with much compassion if, in pinch, they had to get along with five automobiles instead of six. Nor was any pity bestowed on the millionaire's son afflicted with the ennui of having too much money to spend. Pens were busy commiserating our ex-Presidents, and charitable minds were occupied in trying to devise some fitting vocation for them. But the troubles of the mill lionaire did not evoke one sympathetic sigh.
 We are now in danger of going to the other extreme. Instead of worrying about the poor, we worry about the rich. Instead of sympathizing with the unfortunate marriage, we express our condolence with millionaires whose daughters have married dukes. Many of us have even gone so far as to evince our grief because men like MT. Rockefeller are overburdened with wealth, and others, out of the kindness of their hearts, have offered to relieve him of some of it.
 But when it comes to pitying the chill dren of the rich because they can no longer amuse themselves. we are re- luctant to carry our commiseration as far as President Wilson does his. For. without being at all hard-hearted, we can easily imagine moro tear-compelling calamitles than having money and time to burn

A NATURAL CHURNER.

 "Ha, hal" laughed the first salesman, "so I thought
 An angular man, whose chief character istics were a wild eye and rusty frock coat, entered the office of prominent investment concern. Through some fluke on the part fthe office boy he gained admittance to the private office of the president.
 "I wish to present an idea" the visitor said, without barley, that will revolu- tionze the great dairy industry of this country"
