BEST REPUBLICAN FRIEND OF SOUTH"
Though Differing With Him Radi-
calIy in Politics Judge Griggs
Says That of the President.

Congressman Griggs was the guest
of the city of Savannah on the oc-
casion of the banquet given in honor
lof President Taft. The Savannah
News noted his presence there as fol-
lows:
Congressman J. NJ. GriggS of the
Second district, one of Savannah S
guests at the Taft banquet last night,
said he came here TO meet one of
the most hospitable persons he knew
President Taft-and to meet the
most hospitable people he knew-the
Savannahians.
Talking of President Taft Con-
gresham Griggs said: The presi-
dent and I differ radically in poll
tics on many questions. but 1 have
known him long and intimately
enough to say that he is the best
republican friend the south has ever
had
1T is unnecessary for me to say
that We have extremely diverse views
on the tariff question" said the con-
gresham when asked how his posi-
ton on the matter compared with
lUdI Vi Tue pIGSluenI. DuI bS-
lieve he has gone further toward the
protection of the consumer from the
rapacity of the protective interests
than any president l have ever
known" continued Congressman
Griggs.
President Taft is not always look
ing for the bad, but on the contrary
expects and looks for the good in the
people,"
Discussing the First congressional
district Mr.. Griggs took occasion to
say: you have as congressman
from the First one of the finest young
men I know. He is attentive to his
business and popular with his col
leagues. He is on the biggest COM
mittee so far as the rivers and har-
bors of the state are concerned that
any man ever reached within a second
term"

BRANCH BANKS UNDER BAN.
AttOrney-GeneraI Hart Says They
Are Clear Violation of Law.

AttOrney-GeneraI Hart Says They
Are Clear Violation of Law.
Branch banks within the state of
Georgia are not only not authorized
by the law, but are clearly in viola
ton of the state law, declares Attor-
ney- General Hart in a written opinion
to State Treasurer Brown, replying
to a request for legal information on
this point
The letter of Pope Brown, state
treasurer, grew out of an application
from a Tennessee banking firm to es-
tablish branch bank in Georgia
without being incorporated under the
laws of this state. Judge Hart holds
that this cannot be done.
Moreover he declares, that to be
incorporated in Georgia, bank must
| have paid in capital stock of at least
SIS, 1000. One bank with such capt.
| tai, or even ten times that much, can
not organize a branch bank in the
same city or in any other city. 1t
may open a branch Office at which
deposits may be received. Separate
banks, however, with separate
names, and a separate directorate
and list of officers, can not be es-
tablished as branch of the original
chartered bank.
This decision will prove of very
general interest throughout the state
1t calls attention anew to the law on
this subject and to the protection
thus afforded the public from wild.
cat banking.

He pointed out that the hook worm

are tuberculosis and other prevalent
chronic diseases.
1t is estimated that there are at

DIED AT SO OF WHOOP COUGH
velOped Disease Usually Con-
fined to Children.

NEW YORK-John Stewart Ken
nedy, banker and philanthropist
who died on Sunday from whooping
cough at 80 years of age, was in
many ways a most remarkable man.
Among rich men whose gifts are
measured by millions few escape the
glare of publicity so well as Mr.. Ken
nedy, says the World. He wished to
secrecy the condition of his benefac-
tiOns.
His activities in finance were also
of quiet order, although some of
the enterprises with which he was
associated have at times come under
close public scrutiny. In the North
.ern Securities deal of 1902, which
pushed Northern Pacific stock from
800 to 700 in three days, with an
odd frantic sale at $1,000, he stood
with the Morgan syndicate and helped
that great undertaking. With James
J. Hill, Lord Strathcona and Lord
Mount Stephen he held 100000
shares of Northern Pacific certifi-
Gates which the market could not
tempt from the strong box.
These men had promised Mr.. Nor
gan that they would stand by him
against the effort to GUST him from
Northern Pacific control and with a
soaring mark they resisted the temp
tation to possess themselves of a ire
mendOus fortune The opposition
offered them $14,0O0,OO0 profit on
their holdings at the beginning of the
movement, and toward the end they
might have multiplied that twenty
times. Mr.. Kennedy was the main

saved the property to the Morgan in

MEME IN THE FAR NORTH.
samous Eskimo Boy Working Out
His Destiny Among Own People.

Unable to speak a word of his ma
i've language or to converse except
ny signs with his own people in north
Greenland, the ''farthest north peo-
ole of the world, Meme Wallace, at
one time the best-adyertised Eskimo
IN the world, was left by the schoon-
ct jeanne this summer to work out
his destiny in the land of his birth
Ut will be recalled that Meme was
brought to this country when a little
lad by returning party of explorers,
and that after years of what the Es-
hImo boy considered unjust treat
ment he was allowed to return to The
northland not many months ago with
the understanding that he stay there.
While in the United States Meme be-
same we'll educated and refined, but
IN spite of that never got over a
longing for his own people and the
ways of his own land
1t was highly interesting to watch
him shake off one by one the in
6uences of thirteen years in a land
q bathtubs and take up one by one
the characteristics of his progeni-
tors, says a writer who had an op-
Rortunity of observing the Eskimo
rad after his return to the far north.
One of the most noticeable changes
"a Meme was in his personal appear
ance. He was as dapper young
Man as you could find in Broadway
when the Jeanne sailed, but he grad
aally degenerated into one of his
own. He forgot to change his shirt,
and no one ever saw him washing

THEY STARTED EARLY.

1t was perhaps to be expected that
we should get reports of attempts on
the life Of Mr.. Roosevelt, and especially
as soon as he left our shores. That
most of these stories will be fakes.
pure and simple, and gotten up solely
to create a sensation, is to be expect
ed. for this Is the day of that kind of
news, and there are those who will
take delight in writing up sensation
al account Of an attempt on the life of
the ex-President. They will spread out
the story, ornament 1t with all sizes of
scare-heads and use all available means
to make as much OF It for their paper
as possible. II the story is made out
OF whole cloth the fact win not set
them back any; rather, 1t win give
them opportunity to write another one
to tell how the first was wrong. Col
umns of exciting news can be built
up from one Attempt on the life Of
the ex-President." and some Of the corr
respondents will get all there is out OF
1t.
And yet II Is not at all sure that
true stories of this nature may not be
received. There are many murderous
and reckless cranks, and they are not
confined to any one spot of earth. They
are to be found in all countries. ready
to carry out their deadly work when
opportunity offers. They may be gov
erned by malice. hatred. svariee or de-
sire for revenge for some real or
fancied wrong done them. They are
as difficult to guard against as snakes.
and are often more deadly. The gen.
eral hope that Roosevelt may not be
a victim of one of these criminals can
not assure his, safety. we can
not even be sure that he will take
proper precautions. for he fs not that
kind OF man and would scorn even the
appearance of cowardice. And so It is
that even IL the first story sent out
was a bald fake we cannot be sure as
to others that may come. Let us hope
that the sensation mongers will not
have any foundation for a true story
on the subject.

Panama Canal Bonds.

Washington Special.
The House leaders have decided to
amend the Payne bill by increasing
materially the authorization or ran
anna Canal bonds and providing Tor q
sinking fund to pay these bonds az
maturity. The first step Will be taken
on the recommendation Of the Secre-
tary of the Treasury. who believes he
can dispose of a larger issue TO great
err advantage than he could the issue OF
sac, 100000 authorized by the bill as re-
ported.
Secretary Macveagh has also sug-
gested to the leaders that he receive
authority to detray the expenses OF
the canal from the general revanues
as long as he deems desirable, butthat
he be empowered to sell the larger Is
such sale most favorable.
The sinking fund provision Will set
apart portion of the receipts OF the
canal as a fund to redeem the issue :.
One object in taking this step thus
early is to check the agitation In favor
of making passage through the canal
free. 1t is maintained that this agi-
tation emanates from those interests
and which, now that its completion is
assured. seek to make 1t as unpopular
as possible by making 1t heavy ex-
pense, with no compensating return,
to the Government. Inquiry reveals
cost about s112.000.00o. requires for
maintenance approximately $4,000, 900
a year. and that the net revenue has
averaged over $l2.000.000.t While the
Panama Canal win doubtless cost In
the neighborhood of $400, 900, 900. It is
believed that II proper tonnage is
charged 1T will yield an even larger
percentage on the investment, and the
House leaders wish to insure the devo-
ton OF that income to the payment of
the bonds which the construction Of the
canal makes necessary.

A contemporary arguing against wo-
man suffrage tells Of a recent case in
a Kansas town which 1t thinks upholds
its contention. There was mayor
to be elected and the man nominated
was in every way qualified and de-
serving Of the position. 1t is not stat
cd that the candidate was a party man
but that he was selected because of his
fitness. Woman suffrage prevails there
and the result showed that they voted
almost solidly against the man. When
the reason for their opposition was in
quired into 1t was stated that the man
had twice been engaged to be mar
ried and 1t was the practically unan-
imous opinion of the women that he
didn't marry the right woman; so they
showed him under.
OF course this story may all be a
fake, and probably 1t is, yet the Kans-
as people sometimes do queer things.
and II may be possible that they voted
just as reported. and for the REASON
given. but suppose it is true, what Of
It? We are not advocating female suf-
frage. do not believe In 1t, and do not
believe It would be well for the wo-
men themselves, but do not the men
sometimes do queer things in politics?
We mere men may not vote against
a man because he did or did not marry
somebody. but the best OF us not infre-
quently vote for man for no better
reason than that he belongs to our par
ty. All Of us know that this is true,
and while We believe as firmly as any
one in party loyalty we all know that
devotion to party sometimes leads us
to vote for men whom we know to
be both unqualified and unworthy. Let
US not be too free at casting stones
at the Kansas women.
