NO COON SONGS BY CLERGY
Nor POssum Supper Will Occur at Joe
Browns Inaugural. Democratic
Simplicity VIII Be the Thing.


Simplicity Will Be the Thing.
The Hon. Joseph M. Brown insists
upon an inaugural which will be
Jefersonian in it's simplicity.
Mr.. Brown was nominated at the
Grand theater in Atlanta, and there
was a blare of trumpets and waving
of banners, but his inaugural will
not be dramatic There will be no
spot light or red fire. The other
day Governor Ansell's Inauguration
in Columbia, S. c., took just thirty
minutes. Governor Brown proposes
to walk to the state capitol, take the
oath of office, make short address
and enter the executive chamber
without more ado
This will be disappointing to At
lanta. There may or may not be an
inaugural ball. There will be no
'possum supper nor coon songs by the
clergy, nor interludes with Georgia
Campmeeting" There will lust be a.
return to Jeffersonian simplicity and
Joseph E. Browns judgment. Joe
Brown has been shaking the hand
of the yeomanry this week all the
way from Wilkes to ST. Mary's. He
is making friends, and his demo-
cratic programme for next June will
not make him any enemies.
Meanwhile he has big pointer for
Judge Taft. Since congress has cut
out the appropriation for automo-
biles he can walk up PENNSYLVANIA
avenue and be inaugurated on his
way to the golf links.-Savanna

The Millionaire.

Commenting on The Suns remark
that a generation or so ago the Ameri-
can millionaire was an idol, whereas OF
late almost everybody has been taking
a whack at him, the Providence Tribune
says:
1T may be doubted II after all there has been
any very noticeable change in the popular att.
tude toward ca sus. We may deciaim against
him on occasions, but he has little reason TO be-
ileve that We mean It, At least when we are talIing
business, which Is the only thing worth talking
about. perhaps. In this rapid age"
So the muckrakers of magazines and
novels ha' merely seen q chance to
turn an honest penny, and the politi-
clans to stir uptrouble and make votes.
And what a tempest they raised, and
what a bill business had to pay. What
Is the recipe for a great popular" move
mont and success? About one-quarter
envy to three-quarte~ hypocrisy?

The Hunker.

That irrepressible old fogy JOSEPH
G. CANNON has been talking again. once
moro exhibiting his hopeless incspacity
to adjust himself to the modern way
Of doing things. The National Good
Roads Association met on Saturday in
Washington to listen to the Speaker say
that 1T was the province OF the State
Governments to conduct experiments
for good roads" and heard him shame.
lessly declare:
e hope you'l keep on In your good work, and
In the fulness Of time, al the expense OF counties
and States. well construct good roads"
or course, as one OF the'members OF
the national association explained to
Mr.. CANNON, this is all wrong. The
highways should be constructed, kept
in repair and policed by the Federal
Government. The towns, counties and
States ought not to be burdened with
responsibility for such public works.
Economy ought to be praotised in the
construction Of battleships." Mr.. CAM
NON was told, and more money should
be spent on good roads"
1t is obvious that the division of func-
tons between the States and the nation
is entirely wrong, The nation should
manage the domestic and municipal
affairs Of the country, and the States
should manage the army, the navy and
the diplomatic business. This, how
ever, is beyond the comprehension of
Speaker CANNON, a benighted and obsti-
nate man who cannot be made to see
the propriety of having Congress do
the things for which States, counties,
cities and towns are organized and sup
nOrted.

preeedented generosity Mr.. MACK pur-
chased at vast expense and presented
to the Albany Institute and Historical
and Art Society three works Of art
The donation was unexpected, 30 uneI-
peoted that the whole city OF innocent
pleasures was deeply stirred and
shaken at the outset. II had never
associated tho idea OF donation or the
thought Of art with the Hon. JOHN
MACK. Thus 1t was that In the first
warm flush Of gratitude the voice 0!
Albany conscience was silenced-t the
works Of art were accepted and the
proprietor Of Albany's chief industrial
establishment was hailed as the Car
negie Of local culture.
Later, however, the voice Of oon-
science woke. Standing before these
works OF art" one Albanian citizen
discovered that 90 far from feeling tho
inspiration Of the aesthetic there came
only the sense of personal degradation.
Behind the group Of Faith, Hope and
Charity" il this were the subject, he
saw always the fatal green cloth and the
soul s~natching roulette wheel. That
mighty controversy that shook Boston
from the sunny side of Commonwealth
avenue to the shady side Of Beacon
street took on a new vitality in his own
bosom, and the soul OF the Puritan
found yet another affront In MAcK's
marble. For him the inspiration val
gone; the indictment alone remained.
Here for the present the great problem
stands unsolved-a moral issue crying
out to heaven for some proper treat
ment. It has been proposed that the
gift be rejected. But, since the works
Of art are generally admired. this propo-
sition has been rejected with proper
scorn. 1t has been suggested that MI.
MACK's name be omitted from the card;
but this is generally recognized az both
u~ngrateful and even dangerous, since
Mr.. MACK might reclaim the property.
The only solution 30 far proposed IL
that the police should close Mr.. MAcK's
establishment, thus by main strength
restoring him to respected citizenship;
but there are various reasons why this
can hardly be expected to happen.
In tho meantime no single event in
recent years has offered SO complete a
refutation Of the widely circulated libel
that Albany does not possess the most
efficient city administration and the most
acute conscience among the commune
ties OF this great State.

Moral Education In Schools,

The International Moral Education
Conference in London last year was
, officially encouraged by the British
Government as we'll as by several other
Governments. This month in London,
however, when an influential deputa-
ton which may be regarded as an out
come Of the conference waited upon the
President Of the Board Of Education
and asked him to introduce direct sys-
tematic and graduated moral instruc-
ton into the State schools, the re-
quest met with no encouragement, The
president thought it well to tell the
deputation frankly that he must leave
moral education exactly where it was
now in the code" Does this rejection
indicate a change of front on the part
Of the British Government? Or else that
it's last years patronage Of the confer
ence was merely formal? Or else that
the main lines OF activity finally adopted
by the conference have failed upon
reflection to recommend themselves to
the official critics? We guess that the
last supposition comes nearest the truth.
In fact, what Government could do
otherwise than offer a warm welcome
to a gathering, especially an inter-
national gathering, Of learned persons
whose avowed object it was to discover
effective methods OF giving children a
permanent twist toward goodness The
mere possibility Of any discovery in that
direction might naturally excite a live
lier Governmental interest than the
doings of a Lieutenant %Shackleton or
even a pair Of Wright brothers. We
had occasion TO refer to the programme
Of this conference before it met, and to
suggest that if the spirit OF the pro-
gramme a. published in advance was
closely acted upon in it's proceedings
the results might be OF questionable
value. In the opinion Of the British
educational authorities this forecast
seems to have been unfortunately real
lied by the event.
Roughly speaking, that spirit as we
diagnosed II seemed to tend toward
dissociating moral education from moral
practice. The President Of the Board
of Education in turning down" this
d~eputation the other day used these
words-we quote from the report In
the London Times: "He had to keep in
mind one important fact, and that was
that the overdefnition of the subject
was becoming an evil in the schools. "
BY '@over6ehnition" he explained that
he meant keeping moral education as
a thing by ITSELF He added: IF IL
could not be brought into the whole
school life by the teacher and children
il could not be very beneficial
In his opinion, then. the conference
