THE NEW FIELD.

This undertaking business isn't
new, since the Hon. John Bunyan re-
fers to it, and there is something more
than . suspicion that Brutus and
other Roman insurgents knew how "a

revival in America, such . variety Of
subjects have been dealt with, ranging
from flies to John d. Rockefeller, that
. new field should not fail to attract q
crowd. The newest field to come to
our notice Is the Philippines. As is
the general rule, the newspaper writ
ers offer the first suggestions, and the
long.toothed rake of the magazine man
should be going shortly. 1t seems
the Sugar Trust il to be the goat in
this particular field. The organic act
of 1902 forbade the sale Of more than
twenty acres Of Philippine lands to any
individual, and more than $500 to .

also purchased 100000 acres Of Friar
lands on the ground that such large
holdings by = religious body was
against the best interests Of the islands.
Now the attorney general has decided
that these lands do not come under
the organic act, and 5000 acres
thereof have been decided to represen.

SOCIALISM FOR CHILDREN.

SOCIALISM FOR CHILDREN.
What will Emil Seidel, socialist
mayor.elect of Milwaukee, be able Ia
do for the children?
1t is his idea, shared by all educa-
tors, that in the children lies the sole
hope for future good government He
hopes to hasten the dawn Of better civ.
ic management by the immediate en-
actment of reforms that shall improve
the lot of the present generation.
Now that he has the chance, he will
translate the dreams of his party, If
possible, into realty. Both friends
and critics of socialism will eagerly
watch results.
He says 80 per cent Of the school

WHY HE IS POPULAR.

and even to increase, - he makes pro.

secure peace and comfort and . better
state Of things in politics and in so
ciety.
These are the larger reasons why
Roosevelt holds the people with such
. grip that nothing can shake it. The
coldly critical find no difficulty in con-
demning the many things he does.
They accuse him of posing. or playing
to the gallery, Of throwing everything
into the limelight and fvanity beyond
measure. Some declare that his talk
is trash. Nevertheless, there is NO
public man of our time toward whom
the hearts Of mankind in every coun-
try turn with greater confidence, high
er trust, stronger faith in his purpose
to be . warrior in good causes, than to
Mr.. Roosevelt.
Perhaps it is all in the opening Of
the article that Mr.. Roosevelt actually
represents the best qualities Of human
nature to an unusual degree and has
the elementary power which command

CHIVALRY IN GEORGIA.

custom which has been for three full
centuries one of the distinguishing
traits of the gentle SOUTH" We fear
that undue excitement has got the

We do not believe that it has been the
custom in the south "for three full GEN.
turtles" for men to pull Of their hats in
elevators when women are present.

back to the year 1910, and We are sat.
isfied that at that time no man, in the
south, or elsewhere, ever took of his
hat in an elevator.
Well 60 further and risk the asser-
ton that George Washington himself
never took off his hat in an elevator
because there were women passengers,
and he was certainly typical southern
gentleman.
We might venture to risk deducting
two full centuries from the Georgian's
figures and assert that even at that
time it was not the custom of southern
gentlemen to uncover their heads in
elevators, for the very simple and suf:
fcient reason that there were no ele.

man to write one article q day fur q

make this town a better placer" Well,
that is just what Wilmot has done

himself Secretary of the Uplift Club. !"

articles is, stand by your town, stand

your neighbors stupid and selfish?
Well, perhaps you have helped make
