RAILROADS AND BELATED
TRAINS.

That is the truth about the
schedule business. 1t is not quite
just to lay it on the Georgia rail
roads, unless they can afford to
run a double SCHEDULED train
out on time and another one
when the Northern mails and
sleepers come along And then
there would be a kick when the
first train did not bring the mail
Macon Telegraph.
The level headedness of the Macon
Telegraph comes to the front again
in the discussion about late
trains. 1t puts its finger on one of the
most serious causes of the trouble,
and the cause lies outside of the con
troll of the roads in Georgia. The
lateness of the Georgia schedule is
very largely due to the lateness Of
trains north or west The Georgia
trains can do one of two things, they
can either abandon the mails, let
them lie over for the next train, fire.
quently meaning a delay of twelve to
twenty four hours in their delivery
and consequent great unsettling Of
business interests, or they can hold
back their own schedules, inconven-
fence the travelling public to some ex-
tent, and get the mails that have been
late in coming.
There was once a system of fning
the railroads for non-delivery of the
mails promptly. OF course the fines
went on the road that was originally
behind in the schedule. But the
roads of the north and west, with their
big political pull, succeeded, if We re
member correctly, in having dead
letter made of this law. 1t has ap-
parently been not recognized as Of
any force in the past few years. Un-
til it is resuscttated by the postoffice
department. and vigorously enforced,
we are likely to see a continuance Of
the delayed schedules about which
so much complaint is made
1t can be safely said that no rail
road runs off it's schedule for the
fun Of the thing. Reading some pa
pers one might imagine that the run
ming time was disorganized through
pure maliciousnes, just for the pur-
pose Of disturbing the public mind
that railroad managers were a set of
perverse men who found ghoulish
glee in straining the public nerves to
the breaking point by deliberately
running their trains on any old time
except schedule time There is no
question that the managers of the
roads in Georgia deplore the belated
schedules as much as the travelling
public does 1t is not unlikely that
when their side is heard from it will
be found that there are many rea-
sons, good ones at that, to account for
the bulk of the delays OF course it
is well for the railroad commission to
endeavor to enforce schedule time if
possible, but unless connecting roads
from other states keep their sched-
ules it is unlikely that our roads can
do much better, especially in the win
ter months when so much occurs to
train schedules in the north
and west, than they are doing So
far as Americas is concerned the
trains run pretty we'll on schedule
time, due to the fact that the trains
begin their service to this point eth
err inside Georgia or at nearby points
in Alabama and unless washouts oc-
cur are apt to roll along pretty close
to the time table.

1t was unwise in those who prepar-
ed the program for Georgia day in
the public schools to insert any fea-
lures that might be Objectionable to a

say the least, had not the slightest
bearing upon the occasion celebrated
February y is intended to commem-
crate the landing of Oglethorpe. It is
true that Oglethorpe and the other
trustees were the original prohibit
ionists, inasmuch as they refused to
allow the sale of intoxicants in the
colony just as they were the original
abolitionists, in a sense, as they re-
fused, from military reasons, to per-
nit the colonists to buy or hold
slaves. But the restrictions referred
to were soon dead letters. and long

PUTTING THE BLAME WHERE TT
BELONGS.

The leading Democrats in Congress
are not slow in putting a large meas
ure of responsibility for the current
high prices of food and other neces-
stiles of life on the eXorbitant tariff
schedules, where it properly belongs.
The defence made by the Republicans
against this charge is very weak, and
among the reform element of that
party there is practically an acknowl-
edgement that the tariff plays a great
part in keeping the cost of living at
the high pitch to which it has gone in
recent years.
In a debate in the Senate the other
day along these lines Senator Bacon,
of Georgia, fatty contradicted Sen
ator Lodge, of Massachusetts, the
leader OF the high tariff cohorts, who

THE PENITENT.

After she left the Saviour's feet
wonder how she Jared?
Healed and forgiven tho she was.
There were battles to be dared,
His cross to carry in her heart,
His sorrows to be shared
Like Him she had her enemies,
Who wagged their heads in scorn.
They saw her in her night of sin,
But would not see her morn,
When he, her Sun Of Righteousness
Had brought to her the dawn.
She had her trials for his sake,
And oft her sight was dim;
With blood and tears from thorny
woes
Her cup filled to the brim-
But this | know, that from that houl
OF love, she walked with him.

FACTS ABOUT OLD MEXICO.

In 1866, the French withdrew
from Mexico. Juarez and Diaz re-
organized the army of the republic
and advanced on the City of Mexico
The city was captured on May 10,
1867, and Macmillan surrendered.
He was court martialed. sentenced
to death and executed on June 10,
1867. Juarez was elect d president
in August, and reelected in 1871. He
died July is. 1872, and Tejada, pres
ident OF the supreme court, com
pleted the term.
The constitutional amendments of
September, 1873, led to a revolution
headed by Iglesias.. Diaz was made
commander-in-ohief of the army and
defeated the revolutionists. He was
proclaimed provisional president in
November, 1876, and was elected
president in April, 1877, to hold Of
flee until November, 1850. He re-
clined reelection and in 1850 Con
zales was elected president. Dlaz
was again elected in 1884, and was
reelected in 1858, 1892, 1896,
1900, 1904 and 1908.
The republic Of Mexico consists of
twenty-six states. one territory and
one federal district. The national
capital is the City of Mexico. The
state governments like that OF the
federal government, are divided into
three parts: the executive or COVER
nor, the legislature and the judie-
larry. The governor and legislature
are elected by the people and the
judiciary Is appointed.
Mexico abounds in mineral re-
sources. In 1907 Mexico led the
world in the product on OF silver.
producing nearly s4O.0OO,OO0. In
the same year. gold to the value of
1000 900 was produced, giving
the country sixth rank among the
gold producing nations of the world.
Iron, copper. lead. quicksilver, zinc,
tin, cobalt and nickel also are mined
extensively. The value OF exports
last year amounted to nearly $685.
100000. The aggregate capital of
Mexican banks is about 500 900 :
600. The building of railroads Is
progressing rapidly. In 1876 Mexico
had 367 miles of railroad. and this
has increased by 1905 to nearly 49,
600 miles.

CITIZENS OF THE NEW TOWN

New York, Nov 25.-Preliminary
plans for the Russell Sage founda-
ton established by Mrs. Sage as a
memorial to her husband, for the
establishment OF a model suburban
city, providing healthy and beauti-
full homes for persons of moderate
means, was announced.
Briefly the project is to utilize a
tract OF l42 acres Of land at Forest
Hills Gardens. Long Island, nine
miles from here. In laying out n
town for 1850 families. The initial
financial expenditures for the pur-
pose now amount TO $2,250.OO0.
How much more will be needed Is
not known. but the foundation trus-
tees state that Mrs. Sage is prepared
to supply all the funds required TO
carry out her ideas. IL is made
plain that the enterprise is not a
charity. but is 20 be made self-sup-
porting and yield a fair return on
the investment. It's purpose Is 10

stances TO own their own homes NJ
the minimum cost while obtaining
buildings OF better construction than
the average individual can erect.
The cost. Il Is estimated. will be
s25 per month. including principal
and interest.
For the present. laboring men
whose wages are small will not
benefit directly from Mrs. Sago's en-
terprise. The cost Of land At Forest

made here for the working class
but the intimation that they viii be
cared for later Is given.
In this connection Il IL pointed
out that Mrs. Sage owns another

THE COST OF 1T.

For whatever we get in this world
we must pay the price, somehow,
somewhere, sometime.
Nature has wisely provided for our
wants and necessities and shown US
the way to find happiness, by deny
ing the cravings of the senses and by
working for the pleasure OF others.
When Injuries become necessities
the bodily vigor deteriorates and
health puts up the forfeit. Single
blessedness, remains singleness after
the blessing departs, and often be-
comes synonymous with loneliness.
Many of our most hysterical crusades
and social reform movements are
directed at supplying a balm for the
hurts of individuals. who have chosen
mot wisely their direction in life,
when the remedy should be preven-
tatsve Of further mistakes of the
same nature.
Tragedies these great mistakes
produce, indeed. but parents, on
whom rest the burden of civilization
after all. should see to the preven-
ton of like tragedies in the lives of
their children by teaching those
principles upon which happiness and
usefulness are builded. Here is the
