HOW TO MAKE A CITY GROW.

l. Join no organization for the
upbuilding of your city. This will
give encouragement to others who
give their time and money to sus-
tain such an organization.
2. Impugn the motives of those
who join, and accuse them with a de-
sire to advertise themselves. This
! inspires patriotic men to work hard
for the public good.
8. Pour cold water on every new
enterprise, predict its early failure,
and contribute to that end by patron
izing its rivals in other towns. This
will encourage others to invest their
money in home enterprises.
4. When a committee calls on you
for a contribution to any good cause
act like a sore-headed fellow, and
yield up what you do give as begrudg-
ingly as possible This lightens the
burdens of the committee, and sends
it on its way rejoicing.
5. When strangers visit your town
let them wander around loose, and
entertain themselves by reading the
signs and pumping the professional
loafers. They will carry away a de-
lightful remembrance of their visit,
and advertise the town wherever they
go.
6. Cuss out your public officials
Cbehind their backs), and accuse
them of everything from petty lar
ceny to high treason, no matter
whether you can substantiate your
charges or not. This will encour-
age them to discharge their duties
honestly and faithfully.
Z. Whenever your local paper diff
fers In the slightest degree with your
ideas Of public policy declare that it
has been bought up, and promptly
cut off your patronage. The editor
will be so delighted that he will re-
double his efforts in behalf of the
city and its good people,"
s. Oppose any enterprise that is
not in accordance with your own
ideas. This will be conducive to that
spirit of concession and unity which
is SO necessary to progress.
8. Give sparingly, or not at all,
to enterprises necessary for the gen.
eral good of the city, even if you are
the largest property owner in it.
This will spur on to greater exertions
the public spirited citizens of the
middle and poorer classes and induce
the coming of others.
If the above rules, which The News
found in Texas newspaper, are OBJ,
served your city will undoubtedly
grow-up in weeds. and may event
lally become fit habitation for bats
and owls.

POLITICS IN SUPREME COURT.
From the Columbus Ledger.


Will the Georgia supreme court
withhold its decision in the McLen-
don case until after the state pri-
mary?
The above question is now going
the rounds in Georgia owing to the
long delay in the disposition of the
noted case.
On the subject the Americas
Times-Recorder says:
There is one further intimation in
the news reports sent out from the
capital, though, that does not reflect
credit on the supreme court, and that
is that that body may withhold the
decision in the McLendon case until
after the state primary. 1t is hardly
creditable that the court would re-
sort to such an expedient as this. 1t
is not supposed to lay its sails to
passing breezes, or to be governed in
its acts by political conditions in the
state. Its duty is to be fearless and
straightforward. If it should pursue
such a course as is intimated it would
certainly lower itself materially in
the public estimation"
Is it possible that politics has
gained entrance into the supreme
court of Georgia?
The above intimation does not re-
fleet credit upon the highest court of
the state, to say the least.
However, the long delay in passing
on this case has attracted attention
and just criticism.

Both Have What They Want.

From the Albany Herald.
Well, yes, there are near-beeries
in Albany where any of the standard
brands of beer can be had, and it is
also evident that whiskey can be had
here by those who know the ropes"
and are willing to pay a dollar a pint
for it. A locker club has also been
licensed by the city council, and now
those who obtain access to that place
will be able to get their tipple the
same as before prohibition" But,
while all these things are true, it is
also true that conditions are no worse
here than in other cities of the state
The truth of the whole matter is, the
prohibitionists have their prohibit
ton, while the liquor drinkers still
have their liquor. Prohibition
doesn't prohibit in Georgia, except in
such exceptional towns and cities as
back it up with a healthy public
opinion

Mr. W. T. Ellis of Pennsylvania

who have had some disagreement
about the merits of the foreign mis-
sion movement Of the present time,
have in the past few days spoke their
minds rather freely of one another.
In fact, in their exchange of left
handed compliments they left but
little unsaid that could be said,
and We doubt that either of them
meant all he said. At any rate, in
the absence of further proof we are
not going to believe that either of
the gentlemen is altogether as bad
as the other has pictured him.

It has been intimated by newspa-
pers of the state that politics is the
,canse of the delay of the supreme
court in handing down decision in
the McLendon case. That's a rather
serious charge to bring against a
court of any kind, much less the high
est court of the commonwealth, and
The News is not inclined to accept
1t as true unless more proof is pro-
duced. We must say, however, that
the court has been unduly slow in
disposing of this case, which is of
such a nature that a prompt settle
ment of it was expected and desired.

GOLD AND HIGH PRICES.

The congress of the United States
is inquiring into the steadily increas-
ing cost of living in this country.
The inquiry will no doubt develop
some interesting phases, and it NAV
be expected that the dissertations
and discussions will be largely aca-
sdemic in character. 1t is an oppor-
tunity for the statists, the publicists
and doctrinaries OF the law-making
body.
No one can assume to say what
the investigation will establish. It
will be rather surprising, however. if
the quest for causes does not find
gold-the greatly increased -produc-
ton of that precious metal-as one
of the potent forces that are influence
ing the price OF all necessaries of
life. And to go further let us say
that it may be doubted if we shall
witness any material reduction of
prices as long as the world acquires
gold at the present rate of produc-
ton, the rate of recent years.
The statisticians tell us that dur
ing the past ten years about $4,000
100000 in gold has been produced,
@and tDat the annual production now
s-at least $400, 100000 to $45O.OOO,-
COCO Of the yellow metal. 1t is not
alone new mining fields that account
for this enormous output, but the
material improvement in the process
of extracting gold from ore has con-
tributed thereto. The magic and po-
tent force OF chemistry has come into
play and made it profitable to treat
ore that a few years ago would have
been passed over as not worth treat
ment, because the costly processes
made the element of profit too small.
The result is easy to understand, and
is seen in the tremendous yearly in
crease in the worlds stock of gold
sthe ,wOrld-wide money metal.
Another result, so the students of
economics contend, is that with the
increase of gold (the bulk of produe-
ton going into coin or bullion) the
purchasing power of the precious
metal suffers impairment.
A dollar is a dollar of course, and
its dignity as such unchallenged, but
may Il not be that the increase of
dollars affects the purchasing power
of each dollar? In other words, it
will not buy as much of any Commod-
ity as it bought when gold was less
plentiful and could not be mined or
secured as easily as now. The theory
seems reasonable, to say the least
that to the steady and great increase
of the worlds supply of gold is meas
urably due the increase in the prices
of all commodities. Nor may it be SC
paradoxical to suggest that while
gol7 is as intrinsically valuable as
ever it's purchasing power is less.
1t may be that the congressional
committee, pursuing investigation
will find that gold, as we'll as our pro
tective tariff, is one of the force
contributing to the experiences of re
cent years-the steady upward trenc
OF prices. We fancy that the tariff
is measurably but not wholly respon
sible, and thus an interesting fell
for inquiry is opened.

THEY HAVE AWAKENED.
Chinese Troops Now Carry Wireless
Outfits on Their Expeditions.

When Col. Younghusband marched
on L'Hassa some ten years ago he
was forced to lay insulated wires
along the ground to keep open a line
of communication with his base of
supplies. When the Chinese troops
invaded Tibet month or so ago they
didn't bother with wires. They car
ried wireless outfits by means of
which they not only kept in touch
with their base of supplies but with
Pekin, so that they received daily in
structions from the home govern
ment. Thus it will be seen that
these "heathens" are not behind the
times in making use Of modern in
ventions for military purposes. They

NOT NOVEL METHOD HERE
New York University to Give Course
in journalism Similar to M. u.

A novel method of giving practical
instruction has been adopted for the
new course in Newspaper Practice at
the New York University School of
Commerce, Accounts, and Finance,
which held its first session Monday
evening in the University building.
The class will first be given prac-
tice in copy reading, headline writing,
proofreading, and the like, and then as
soon as practicable be organized as a
regular newspaper staff. Each stu
dent will be assigned the task for
which he proves himself best fitted.
The class will then be taken through
the regular routine work of a news
paper.
In order to lend this method great
er effectiveness the class will have
charge of monthly paper to be issued
by the school. Conklin Mann, a praa-
tical newspaper man, has charge of
the work. Many of the students have
had some newspaper experience on
country papers; others took prelimi-
nary work the news writing in the
School of Commerce last fall.
The new class in magazine writing
under the direction Of J. Melvin Lee,
editor of Judge, will hold its first ses-
sion Tuesday evening. An effort will
be made in the latter part of the year
to find a market for acceptable arti-
cles written by students in the class.
