Monte Carlos Balance Sheet

The gaming tables at Monte Carlo are once again in full swing, and the casino Is pouring into it's coffers some. thing like 94,000 (s2O,OO0) daily to- ward the annual million or more it ex. poets 10 clear before April closes. But enormous as the casinos profits are. US expenditure is proportionately great and includes some strange items. Thus 1t pays about f9.00O a year for clergy and schools, 5000 for charity and 92O,OO0 for police and courts. The maintenance of the casino runs into hundreds of thousands ofepounds And yet, in spite of these huge dis. bursements, the shareholders have lit tie cause to grumble, for they pocket in dividends something like G500, ,O00 year; and, even in poor year, can rely on return of over 30 per cent on their holdings.

A SOUTHERN INSTITUTION WITH
A REPUTATION.

The world admires genius and en-
terprise wherever it is found, and
this is why The JeffersOnian is pre-
senting to the public the series of
articles that it has been publishing
about Mr. Eugene Anderson, the
president of the Congratulations
Business College, at Macon, Ga.
Mr.. Anderson certainly deserves the
high place into which he has been
placed by his advanced educational
ideas A party of New Workers who
are devoting themselves to educa-
tiOnal work, visited his college at
Macon short time ago, and they
declared that Mr.. Anderson's meth
DDS of teaching were the most won
derful they have ever seen, and that
his connection with the teaching pro-
fession is likely to work a revolution
in the teaching ideas and methods
of the present generation.
In addition to this, Mr. Anderson
has shown remarkable progressive
ness in his employment for life plans,
of which his patrons get the benefit;
and his students do office work for
the public, making money out of it,
and thus in many instances paying
their way through college.
It is not to be wondered that a
man who can bring about such re-
suits as these in business college
work should be heralded throughout
the nation as a distinguished edu-
Gator and trainer of young people.
1t is worth a trip to Macon to visit
his college, and see his methods.

The half-page we have given to our

with short sermons and writings of

to the deaf. It will in no sense have

A preacher said: "You editors
dare not tell the truth. Your news
papers would be failure" The edi-
tor replied: "You are right; and the
minister who will at all times tell the
truth about his members, alive or
dead, will not occupy the pulpit more
than one Sunday, and he will find it
necessary to leave town in a hurry.

Senator Borah has introduced an
amendment to the Constitution that
reminds us of the late amendment in
Alabama It reads: ''The right of
citizens of the United States to vote
shall not be denied or abridged by
the United States or by any State on
account of sex" This sounds very
innocent, and yet it opens up the
polls to every wench in the country.
And, if it was passed, Of course the
wenches would go to the polls and
vote, while the ladies and many of
the decent men would be ashamed
of themselves and stay away. This
country doesn't need such enact
ments.-The Talladega (Ala.) Re-
