viewed.

Happy, and full of good stories OF
their travels, the Californian var
sity football party landed yesterday
afternoon from the Zcalandia. The
young fellows had a glorious time In
Australia and New Zealand. and tho
whole expense OF the trip was borne
by the Rugby Association of the
Commonwealth.
Coach Schaefer OF the American
university team speaks In the high
est terms of the re option accorded
the twenty-threc members OF the
party who have completed a very
pleasant two months visit to the
Antipodos.
They could not do enough 70
make things agreeable for u.s." said
Schacfer yesterday as he was leav-
ing the Canadian-Au liner
Zcalandia at Honolulu.
While away we played fourteen
games. Our party included twenty
three people. including the manager
and coach. Out OF the number OF
games that we played. we won three
and tied on two OF the contests.
They are certainly mighty keen
on sport down In the Australian
cities. One game that we played
while at sydney was attended by al
least forty thousand people.
The same brand of enthusiasm
and encouragement was met with
| when we left the Commonwealth for
a tour of New Zealand We played
matches at Wellington. Dunedin,
Christchurch and Auckland. At
each of these games we averaged
anywhere between four and Ave
thousand paid admissions.
Our party includes ten Stanford
boys, eleven from the University of
California. and two members OF the
team were drawn from the Univer-
sity of NevnHa.
I'VE are bound for Vancouver and
will then make but brief stop be
fore getting back to San Francisco.
The trip has worked wonders with n
majority OF the boys who left the
States only few months ago"
The party continued on the Zea-
landia, which left at 3 o'clock this
morning.

FIXING THE BLAME.

Some months ago congress ap-
pointed a copmittee to inquire into
the increased cost of living in this
country. The committee has rem
dered two reports-majority and mi
nority. The majority report is fur
nished by the republican members
of the committee, and lays the high
cost of living to some fifteen differ
ent causes, of which a deteriorated
soil and surplus of gold are the
principal ones. This report exoner-
ates the tariff.
The minority report, furnished by
the democrats, lays the blame chiefly
upon the tariff and the trusts, the
latter being dependent upon the
former. This report comedies that
the plentitude of gold is partly re-
sponsible, but argues that it applies
no more to this country than to 9TH
ers. In Great Gritain the rise in
prices amounts to 27 per cent, and
in this country GO per cent. Certain
ly, says the minority report, the diff
ference, amounting to 35 per cent,
cannot be attributed to the increased
supply of gold. The report attacks
the tariff and points out that while
under the new schedules champagne
is taxed at from 54 to sc per cent.
wearing apparel is taxed at from so
to go per cent, and that hats cost
ing $3.50 per dozen are taxed II
per cent. while those valued at more
than SIS per dozen are taxed only
At per cent.
AS to deterioration on the part of
the soil the minority report shows
that our farms produced more in
1909 than in 1900, and that we ex-
ported less in the latter year than
in the former. This increased prod
uct per acre included corn, wheat,
oats, rye, barley and potatoes
Both reports are unquestionably
juggled for political effect, and to
that extent are valueless and mis-
leading. What is wanted, in order
to get at the truth, is an investiga-
ton by intelligent men determined
to get at the facts without regard
to political effect.

SOMEWHAT PARADOXAL.

A most remarkable thing in con-
nection with the past ten years in
this country has been the spread OF
prohibition. By towns and counties
and by whole states the wave of pro-
hibition has spread until the adVo-
Gates of no-license have claimed that
more than half the territory of the
United States is under prohibitory
laws. From a Temperance point Of
view this is a remarkable achieve
ment
On the other hand we have the
figures of the internal revenue bu-
reau which demonstrate beyond
question that as a people we are con-
Stunning more beer and liquor than
ever. Using the revenue figures as
a guide there seems to have been an
increase of about 80 per cent. in
consumption in the past ten years.
OF domestic spirits, including the
products of fruits as well as grains,
we used in 1900 95,651,396 gallons,
while in the last year the quantity
consumed was 128,657.776 gallons,
an increase of more than 80 per cent.
In the same time the imports of
spirits have increased from 1905
468 gallons to 4,262,421 gallons,
Of fermented liquors the figures for
1900 were 39,33O,849 barrels, while
now they are 59,485,117, an increase
of so per cent.
Allowing for increased population
it is seen that the people of this
country are now using, per capita,
more liquor and beer and wine than
they did ten years ago.

PORT RATES AGAIN.

The new state platform makes a
demand for port rates as emphatic
as any previous platform on which
Mr.. Smith was the candidate for
governor, but it will hardly escape
notice that in the primary the people
were not so particularly friendly to
port rates.
Mr.. Gray, who was recognized as
being against port rates as they have
always been understood since being
thrust upon the state by the Atlanta
Freight Bureau IS a political issue,
received majority for railroad COM
missioner over Mr., Hornady, a most
worthy, a widely known and a popu-
lar gentleman who declared for port
rates, In the light of Mr.. Grays
majority, the biggest received by any
candidate that had real opposition
it can hardly be said that the peo-
pie have demanded or favor port
rates. 1t was clearly defined issue
between those two candidates, and
the verdict was declared in posi-
tive and unmistakable terms.

THE TONIC OF THE COUNTRY TOWN.

He who has never called a coun-
try town his home has missed much,
says the Denver Republican. He who
had not his first look upon the world
from some little village which at the
dawn of consciousness spelled all the
world to him and held in it's bounds
all the people will always lack some
thing in his sense of his proper adj
justment to creation. 1t is in them
that the truest friendships are
formed, the closest studies of human
nature provided, the most lastir ?

Mr.. Watson is acting queerIy for
one who so recently renewed allie
glance to the democratic party, and
proclaimed that he was back to stay.
If he persists in his efforts to get
out independent candidates against
the nominee for governor and two
or three of the democratic nominees
for congress some old mossbacks
who believe in party obligations and
party regularity will rise up and
question his sincerity and some 9TH
er things.

hold given on the eternal truths.
Only as little child can the king
dom be entered, and that is as true
of the kingdom of earth as of that
one of which it was first said. Go
closer into the records of these boys
off the farms and you will find that
it was from the farms they came.
that it was some country village that
inspired the dreams, fired the hopes
and prepared them for that flight to
broader fields not to the farms. but
to the country towns to which thew
feel they owe so much

THE STATE TAX RATE.

The state tax rate for this year
has been fixed at five mills, which is
the constitutional limit and the same
it has been for several years In
fact, if the rate was ever lower The
News has no recollection of it.
Notwithstanding the steady in
crease in the tax values of the state
year after year there is no let-up in
the tax burden. The increase in ex-
penditures keeps right up with and
generally ahead of the increase in
revenue. Controller-GeneraI Wright
says the Legislature this year in
creased appropriations 100000,
whereas the revenue has increased
only 100000. The schools will get
$250,000 more this year, and about
100000 more than heretofore will
go to pensioners. The rest of the
increase is in special appropriations

Judge H. w. Hopkins of Thomas
county will be a candidate for Speak
er of the next House. We hope he
will be elected. Besides his we'll
known qualifications for the posi-
ton he is a South Georgian and
neighbor. This section, from a po-
litical standpoint, has heretofore re-
ceived but scant recognition, but now
that we have grown to where we
exceed North Georgia in both popu'
lation and wealth we should assert
ourselves and demand all that we are
entitled to. Let South Georgia line
up behind Judge Hopkins and elect
him. 1t can be done.

The election by the state conven-
ton of citizen of Dawson as
member of the state democratic ex-
ecutive committee was a timely rec
ognition of Terrell county, which
has, after spirited campaigns, thrice
cast it's vote for the governor-elect.
There are other good and capable
Hoke Smith men in this county who
deserve well at his hands, and if any
of them should receive substantial
recognition The News would be glad.

ALL GO THE SAME WAY.

From the Albany Herald.
The Moultrie Observer thinks
that political power is unstable and
WILL sooner or later, leave those who
exercise it. Noting The Herald's
comment on Terrell county's forsak-
ing Hon. o. B. Stevens in the recent
primary the Observer says: THE
Albany Herald thinks Terrell county
failed to reflect credit on herself in
voting against ODE Stevens for rail-
road commissioner. But it has oc-
CURED thousands Of times. No mat
ter how great an idol a man may be
in his county there will come a
time when public opinion will re-
verse itself. The stronger a man is
as political leader the surer will
the time come when his power will
leave him. They all go the way of
Uncle ODE sooner or later"

THE CONVENTION AT ATLANTA

There is no need to comment at
length on the spirit, the utterances
or the methods of the recent state
democratic convention. 1t is just as
well to wait awhile, let the smoke
of battle clear away, and give the
people time to think 1t suftices to
say that the proceedings and outcome
at Atlanta were about what was an
ticipated. A faction of the party
was in complete control. 1t was nat
urally elated with victory and domi-
nation, and if it departed at times
from conservatism and the consider
alton that was due the minority, a
large and representative number of
Georgians, there need not be sur
prise
The platform has some planks
that are in line with the general
trend of the best thought, and that
merit commentator. There are 9TH
ers that were evolved from parti-
san feeling.
But it is an old democratic slogan
that Ito the victor belong the
spoils," and the convention at At
lanta was a gathering of democrats.
1t gave the party platform, and
ratified the party nominations; and
as for the nominees all democrats
are bound by party usage and good
faith to loyal acceptance and sup
port. AS to Mr.. Smith we have no
feeling save to see him give Georgia
a wise and patriotic administration,
and we believe he will strive to that
end.

the world has so little cotton on

The most important public utter
ance of Hon. Hoke Smith since his
victory in the democratic primary
was his speech of acceptance at the
state convention Thursday. In an
other place The News presents his
remarks, and we suggest general
and careful reading of what he had
to say. Mr.. Smith will be governor
of Georgia, and his views on public
matter, as indicated by his public
utterances, cannot fail to have i'm
portanCe for the people of the state.
His remarks were conciliatory, and
uttered with a seeming sincere de-
sire to unite and harmonic the peo-
pie of Georgia. We are gratified to
cooperate in giving them publicity,
and ask for them respectful and in
telligent consideration.
