Of course, it got pay just the same as though
the 100000 papers had been hauled every dan
of the gear.
This loot of the Government by the rail
roads, in the carriage of the mails, is one of
the worst pieces of graft that has plundered
the people.
A Congressman is paid $4,000 for about
nine months work He is given a clerk, at
$500 per month. Besides, he enjoys other very
toothsome perquisites. Why shouldn't he pay
postage, just as the people who hold no office
have to do?
When Mr.. Taft was on his way to the Phil
lpplnes, few years ago, he sent his automo-
bile from Washington to San Francisco in
case he should need it while in the latter city.
In fact, he did not need it, and the machine
was hauled back to Washington What sense
IS there In making the people pay for such
dolngs as these? Mr.. Taft was no worse than
the Others Most of those higher officials of
the Federal Government regard the Govern
ment as the ancient freebooters regarded the
traveller-a legitimate object of plumber. Let
Mr. Hitchcock examine the difference between
the rates paid to the railroads by the Express
Companies, and those paid by the Govern
ment, and he will see how we are robbed.
There q0ouId not be any Postal shortage, If
these abuses 2oere replaced By an honest sys-

''THE MERCHANT MARINE.

The question of the Merchant Marine is be-
coming a very live issue these days and one on
which many men are expressing themselves
Some, OF course are advocating it because DOS
sibly they are especially interested some are ad.
yocating it, possibly, because they are paid to
do so.
There seems to be opposition backed
largely by foreign steamship builders and owners.
I'VE call attention to the article in this issue
written by T. J. Brooks, of Tennessee. The ar
tice shows that he has given considerable thought
to the question: he takes the same position that
we have always taken in writing or speaking We
have yet to be shown that this position is wrong
The Government should have Merchant Marine

have advocated the Merchant Marine in our pa

Let us analyze this radiant little editorial.
First, Duck says that "the Merchant Ma

Did you ever watch house-fy attempting

he has ever since been trying, clumsily, to

Having Fun With Those JUDGES

The three eminent and learned jurists who
made that absurd "decision" in the case of
the Neal Bank wreckers, are getting restive
They have begun to write me letters IT'S
good sign.
In effect, the accomplished trio of judges
unanimously held that when the Legislature
of 1898 passed an act for the better protection
of the stockholders and depositors from the
misuse of the banking funds, by the officers,
the banks of 1860 a0ere meant!
Isn't it enough to make John Marshall,
Hiram Warner, Robert Toombs, Sargent
Prentiss and every other great lawyer whirl
over in his shroud?
Just think of it, The State banks of issue
have been dead half century. Yet the Legis-
lature of 1898 is judicially declared to have
been such group of idiots as to enact law
for their better protection
1t would be competent for the Legislature
to say, in the usual statutory form, that any
man or woman who shall commit the acts
forbidden in Leviticus, Chapter 90, verses
Is and 16, shall be guilty of a felony, and
be punished by term of years in the peniten
tiary.
In law, that IS certain which can be made
SO: and therefore such reference, by chapter
and verse, to certain book in the Bible
would operate in the same way as though the
statute itself named the forbidden acts. The
fact that we are living under a new dispen-
ltion; and that the Levitical code is not the
"a for us, would make no difference.

O yes! We love Morgan, and we love him
for what he has done for us. He has plum
dered us Of untold millions of our money,
and he has populated our cemeteries with un-
counted thousands of our brothers and sisters,
wives and children.
And, as was saying, had we half chance,
we would no more lynch him than we'd lynch
the black rapist caught at the usual crime.
This same Morgan, the loved and lovable,
was one of the soulless wreckers who precipi-
tated the panic of 19O7-in which portion
of his spoil was the Tennessee Coal and Iron
Company: it cost him $32OOO,OOO and is
worth $5OO,000,OOO. He ruined thousands of
people, carried famine to the doors of other
thousands, threw 100000 wage-earners out
Of employment, drove hundreds to suicide and
multitudes to vice and crime. From Paris,
he gave out the insolent Foulon-like state
ment that the AmaeqSc0m aoorkmoen could
"subnoat or stG7ve"
At this moment, he and his co-conspirators
are reaching out in all directions; with
mergers and combinations, trying to put the

a position aohere they can not draev tie

for the privilege. Robber on land we are at
his mercy Pirate as we'll as freebooter, he is
grabbing the water powers of our rivers. Po-
litical boss, as we'll as industrial king, he de-
capitates Objectionable ministers, and has his
partners named for ambassadorships. He
makes our foreign diplomats his financial
agents, and uses the Government of the United
States to compel foreign nations to accept his
"loans". Scheming for Morgan, eternally for
Morgan, he demands that the Greenbacks be
destroyed, a grand central bank established,
and the sovereign prerogative Of supplying
the American world with money be turned
over to him. Where's the limit of this mon
ster's rapacity, cruelty, insolence, hypocrisy
and power?
And oh, how we love him! MacVeagh told
you why.

Dbe JeFferson,an
lent Hebrew code, aoe could make 1T a part

ancient Hebrew code, aoe could make 1T part
Of ours.
Isn't that perfectly clear? Now then, we
have in the Civil Code of Georgia a section
which declares that the officers Of banking in
situations shall not do certain things. The
banks IN existence when that law was adopted
passed away, half-a-century ago. But the
taao itself has 4ever been repealed. 1t has re-
manned, and as noao, a part of oar Code.
In 1898, the Georgia Legislature, seeking
to throw more protection around stockholders
and depositors, declared that aaay officer of
amy bank in this State who 'shazJ' do the
things forbidden in that aforesaid section of
our Code, "shazl" be punished as for felony.
At the instigation of G. T. Ladson, two
officers of the Neal Bank colluded with him;
and 100000 of the banks funds were locked
up, in Cuban land speculation.
The panic of 1907 came, and the Neal Bank
was denied admission into the Clearing
House Association of Atlanta. Why? Be
cause 100000 Of it's available cash assets had
been tied up, in Cuba; and because the other
banks disapproved of the mismanagement of
the Neal Banks affairs. Consequently, this
black sheep could not get into the fold, and
browse on soap wrappers. Home made money
saved the other banks not beinq azz0aoed to
make 07ey, the Neal Bank COLLAPSED
The depositors may eventually get nearly
all of their money: the stockholders lose
everything.
Indicted for having done the things which
the law of 1893 penalized, the bank wreckers
escaped punishment because it was possible to
find three judges who decided, virtually, that
the word "shazE', in the act of 1898, had ref
erence to 1860; and that the words "any bank
of this State, meant "any bank which has
not been here for forty-fve gears!

Ladson, the arch-plotter of the bunch, was
not even indicted. Of course, he and his two
pals ought to be in the penitentiary. IF they
were poor men, with no influential family
connections, that's aohere they aoouzd be.

BILLY" DoDD. A GOOD SPORT
Always Has a Team in Bowling and
Baseball League at Spokane.


1t would be a hard matter to deter
mine whether Chilly" Dodd of Spokane
is best known, in the city of his resi-
dence and throughout the Inland En-
pire, as "Billy" Dodd, president of
the Dodd Clothing company, or as
"Billy' Dodd, friend and patron Of
all clean, legitimate sports. For in
stance, it is pretty generally known
through the clothing trade of the north
west that he is a pioneer in the bust
ness, and was, long before he moved
his big gents furnishing store from
the northeast corner Of Riverside ave
nue. and Post street to the southwest
intersection Of those two busy thorough
fares of Spokane. He is agent for the
famous "Gordon" hat.
In Spokane he has been known for
the last twenty years as a booster for
the metropolis of the Inland Empire,
a member of all the commercial organ
i~zations and a man Of high civic as well
as business ideals. The same policy
that keeps his attention constantly de-
voted, apparently, to his business, has
kept him in touch with every move
ment for municipal reform or for the
exploitation Of the gigantic resources
and industries Of the Inland Empire.

A Washington official, speaking of
plumbers in the diplomatic service, told
of a mistake committed by an Ameri-
can in Afghanistan. He said:
"This American entertained the
shahzada for three days, giving him a
very handsome suite of rooms in his
house. The morning of the shahzada IS
arrival the American host visited him
in his apartment and was amazed to
see the royal guest and his entire staff
hopping about the floor in the oldest
way. They conversed politely and
gravely; but instead of walking they
hoped, taking great leaps of eight or
nine feet. The host ventured to ask
the reason for this hopping. The
shahzada politely replied:
"'You see, this carpet is green, with
pink roses here and there. Green is a
sacred color with us, so we are obliged
to hop from rose to rose. 1t is good
exercise, but rather fatiguing, 1 assure
you.'"
