When the last game has been finished,
And the crowd has left the field;
When the umpire is forgotten,
And the spiked shin has been healed;
Well rest, and faith, we shall need 1t,
Sit down for a season or two,
Til the Master of all true spOrtsmen
Shall bid us to play anew.
And the man who throws the bottle,
And the one who tries to throttle
Every fellow who applauds the other
clubs;
He'll get his without doubt,
When ST Peter bars him out
And he has to peek through knot
holes with the dubs.
When the last fish has been landed,
And the hooks are old and bent,
When the bObber's cracked and use
less,
And the bait has all been spent;
Well quit, but, gee, we will have to
Sit down for an con or ten
Till the Master of all good fishers
Shall bid us cast again.
And the man who tells the whopper,
WIFI be shoveled in the hopper,
Notwithstanding all his yelling and
his kicks,
And they'll fed him out in dishes
To the minnows and the fishes
That the other liars planted in the

: UNDERWRITTEN.
New York World.)

For, the first time in the history Of
the United States we now have a law
whose avowed object is to guarantee
a reasonable profit to American in
dustries." The Tariff bill which re-
ceived Executive approval yesterday is
certain, therefore, to be celebrated no
less for the candor of it's authors than
for the drastic provisions of its
schedules.
When governmental policy like
tariff taxation becomes institutional
it is interesting to consider the rea-
sons advanced for it's preservation
and extension The purpose of the
tariff of 1889 was said to be 'the pro-
lection and encouragement Of manu-
facturers," in which we may discern
the infant industry theory which after
ward became highly popular. 1t is
worthy of note that when our indus
tries were in fact infants they were
protected and encouraged by a tariff
so low that a return to it now would
be looked upon as a wild adventure in
free trade" After the infant-indus-
try era we had the 'home market
and the American system"
1t was not until 1910 that the wage
question was definitely advanced as
an excuse for monopoly tariffs. Be
| fore that period high wages in Amer
| lea were sometimes pleaded Is an eX-
cuse for legislation favoring employ
ers; afterward it became the fashion
| to insist that wages were high be-
cause of the tariff and could not be
maintained without it. With increas-
! ing ardor this contention has been
made the basis of the policy until
now we find it coupled with the
guarantee of a reasonable profit to
American Industries"
This departure originated in Ohio
possibly with President Taft himself
1t was in the platform on which he
was elected. 1t was scrupulously adj
hered to by him in nearly all of his
speeches-even those in which he was
most emphatic in demanding a revis-
ion downward. Remembering these
things, we need not be surprised at
the outcome. The law would have
been worse if the president had not in
terfered, but the fact that it is disap-
pointing in many respects must be
attributed to his own avowal that gov
eminent is to concern itself hereafter
with the profits of selected business
interests.
Where is this underwriting to end?
No insurance company has an actu-
airy keen enough to show how an en-
terprise of this kind could be carried
on successfully by private capital It
would go to smash in a year, even
with the sanction of Congress, if it
were not grossly discriminating, if the
richest country in the world did not
furnish the resources and if those who
are wronged did not outnumber ten to
one those who are favored.

THE INCOME TAX QUESTION.
Savannah Morning News

Savannah Morning NeWS.)
The reason the Legislature decided
to let the question of ratifying the
sixteenth Amendments TO the constitu-
ton go over to its next session-the
amendment which gives the federal
government power to levy an income
tax-was, as we understand it, a feel
ing among the members that if reve-
nue. is to be raised by that kind of a
tax the state is in as much need of it
as the federal government is.
And it is probable that there was
another reason, namely, that if the
federal government we're given the
right to levy an income tax it would
be promptly levied, and the money
would be spent in ways that wouldn t
greatly benefit the South. If an income
tax would bring about lower tariff du-
ties all along the line there would be
a stronger inclination to ratify the
amendment AS a matter of fact the
extravaganza of the federal govern
ment is appalling. When the popula-
ton of the union was only a third of
what it is the expenses of government
were not tenth of what they are now
1t has been only a comparatively few
years since there was a great outcry
when the appropriations for two years
amounted to billion dollars. Now the
appropriations amount to more than a
billion dollars a year The army of
employees and offlceholders has been
increased so enormously that big
percentage of the population is on the
nations pay roll and everybody is
getting a pension that has the least
shadow of a claim to one.
Georgia is struggling along trying
to give pensions to her veterans. The
condition of her treasury doesn't per-
nit her to make an appropriation for
the class of pensioners that has just
Americus times-recorder. [volume] (Americus, Ga.) 1891-current, 1909-08-11
CURRENT COMMENT

been created by an amendment to her
constitution. The question is being
asked, why should she contribute fur
Their to the payment of pensions to
Union veterans while her own veterans
have to go without pensions?
The point was made by one senator
when the question of ratifying the six
teenth amenment was under consider
alton the other day, that Georgia
couldn't constitutionalIy levy an in
come tax. 1t is doubtful if that is the
opinion of a majority of the senators.
Anyway the question is one that
should be carefully looked into before
the Legislature decides to act on the
question of ratifying the amendment to
the federal constitution.
1t is true of course that the Demo-
cratic platform calls for an income
tax, but why should the proceeds of
such tax go into the federal treasury
rather than the state treasury if the
states treasury is in the greater need
of it? 1t may be argued that the real
purpose of an income tax is to reach
the incomes of the millionaires of the
North-to make these millionaires
bear a greater share of the burdens of
supporting the federal government,
but the putting of a tax on these mil
liOnaires doesn't help the South. The
tax, however, by which they are to be
reached would take money out of the
South that is needed for the payment
of pensions to Confederate veterans.
We are not opposing an income tax,
but we would like to see the state get
the money if there is to be revenue
from a tax of that kind. Not only isn't
it possible to pay the new class of
pensioners but the appropriations for
the common schools and for the high
err educational institutions are a great
deal below what the people would like
to have them. 1t seems to us to be the
duty of the Legislature to provide for
the treasury of the state before being
generous to the federal treasury

LEE COUNTY'S LINK
BEING SUPPLIED.
ThOrOughfare Will Now Soon Be Com
Patchwork Under Way.
(Atlanta Constitution


Leesburg, Ga.-Within a few months
the dream of splendid public thor
oughfare from Albany to Atlanta will
be actually materialized. This devel-
Opment is assured in the announce
ment by Chairman l. P. Cooke, of the
board of county commissioners of Lee
county, that this county's quota OF
cOnvicts has been placed upon the
Dougherty county end of the county
line, and that they will steadily pros
ecute the task of constructing a wide
smooth highway adjoining Sumter on
the north.
This action assures that within a
few months the thoroughfares pro
jected between Atlanta and Albany
will be a thing of actuality.
Already the other counties inter
vening between the two points are
actively at work upon their respective
stretches of roadway. Up to this
time, Lee had been the only county
not yet definitely committing itself to
the plan.
The course of Chairman Cooke
means that the final link has fallen
into line, and that henceforth the
work will be prosecuted through to a
finish.
Interest in the project is at fever
heat in this county, and the farmers
are greatly gratified over the prospect
of securing facilities that will insure
them year-round and cheap access to
market.
Chairman Cooke is also coming in
for much commentator.

DIR. ELIOT ADDS A
FOOT TO HIS LIBRARY.
Even Without Bible and Shakespeare,
Six Feet Necessary.

Boston, Aug. 10.-EX-President eliot
of Harvard has been perpleKed over
the problem of how he could make
good on his promise to give to the
world a library of classics that would
snugly fit a f1ve-foot shelf and, as he
in effect put it, provide any man with
liberal education. The outcome is
that Mr.. Eliot has added foot to his
library Therefore it will be the Eliot
Six Feet of Books.
The twelve-inch extension does not
mean that the Bible or shakespeare
work will be added to the list, but
that DR.. Eliot has included other vol
umes which he determined must go
with the list first announced. Another
factor is the fact that DR.. Eliot has
written and has in preparation sew
eral long introductions to the vol
umes, one or two reaching to the
length of $4,000 words. In fact, his
Americus times-recorder. [volume] (Americus, Ga.) 1891-current, 1909-08-11

introductions and annotations are to
be conspicuous features of the library.
There have been several conferences
between DR.. Eliot and his publishers
over the matter, and his list, now
practically complete, it was figured,
could by no possibility be squeezed
into a five-foot shelf. Without the
bindings, the printers said, the print
ed pages could barely be contained in
five feet, and at least a foot must be
allowed for the bindings. DR.. Eliot, it
is said, was bit disappointed, as he
desired to fulfil to the letter his prom

feet that would carry the desired lib

A maiden once of uncertain age,
To catch husband did engage;
And having passed the prime Of life
In striving to become a wife,
With all her might, this ancient maid
Meath an oak tree knelt and prayed,
Unconscious that grave old owl
Above was perched-a morning fowl
"Oh give a husband! GiYe!" she cried,
while yet | may become a bride,
My day of grace will soon be DER,
And then, like many maids before,
III die without my early love-
With none to meet me there above!"

Cried: "Who-who-w-h
Who, Lord? Why doest Thou ask
who?
