.GEORG|A'S SUCCESS IN USING CONNECTS ON PUBLIC ROADS Hundreds of Miles on Fine Highways Have Been
 Built ALL COUNTIES ARE USING THEIR SHARE New System Was Long Resisted Because of Fine Profits To the
 State Under the Old
 Plan
By ROBERT MORAN

Atlanta November 11.-(SpeciaD.--ln few years time Georgia will have the best roads of any state in the south and will be equal in every way to the best that the north can offer, few years ago, they were the very worst to be found anywhere.
 The change is the result of the aboli- tion of the convict lease system, and the establishment of a new system. whereby all the unfortunate wards of the state have been placed upon the state roads, where the people get the benefit of their labors. instead of private corporations or individuals.
 Never was there a change, affecting an entire state. which so soon and so thor oughly vindicated itself. Prohibition and other movements have received their share of praise and of blame. There have in the majority of instances been the usual sporadic efforts to revert to past conditions. Not so in the convict mat ter. Georgia is thoroughly satisfied with the way things are working. The system has proven to be the wisest that man could devise.

chapters of landlordism in Ireland will be brought to an end.
 Until the present Marquis succeeded to the title and estates the Clanricardes were popular landlords,t the rental of the estates did not exceed the valuation, ,evic- ticns were rare, and it was the boast of the late marquis that if he put up hls white horse as candidate for County Gal way he would be elected.
 But in the seventies the electors of Gal way refused to return relative of Lord Clamricarde. electing instead Colonel, then Captain, Nolan, as home ruler. It Is said that the late marquis raised the rents of those of his tenants who voted against his nominee, but at any rate She rents were not considered excessive when the present marquis came into possession.
 His treatment of his tenantry has often been strongly denounced, by few more ve- hementy than by the vice president of the department. T.. W. Russell, M. P. Lord Clanricarde during over 30 years own esship Of 20,000 acres in Galway only wis tied his estates once,- he drew all the rental out of the country, he spent noth- ipg on Improvements, and would make no allowances for bad harvests or other af- flictions. When the plan of campaign was adopted by the tenants wholesale evctions followed and nothing could ,n- duce Lord CIanricarde to reinstate his ten ants. : Over 20 years agoS Mr,sT.

CONSISTORY TO BE

Rome, November 11.-(Specal)-The consistory the latter part of this month, at which F new cardinals are to be made will be notable event in the modern his tory of the church and may have far reaching results, according to those who keep in close touch with ecclesiastical af- fairs.
 Ten of the r new cardinals including Monsignor Falconio, who is an American citizen, are foreigners which makes the foreign representation in the sacred col lege unusually large. This is taken in some quarters as an indication that the church is coming to the belief that the time is ripe to elevate some prelate other than an Italian to the papacy and the name of the venerable Cardinal Gibbons is frequently heard in this connection.
 It would not be a good prophecy to Say there Is a probability that his emine1cc of Baltimore becoming pope, but it can be said that if the next pope should be other than an Italian it would not cause oyermastering surprise in the best in- formed circles.

I watched them it occurred to me that if the Sultan's soldiers had shown a spirit comparable to that of the boys Tripoli might still be in the hands of Munii Pasha. During the past few days young men have been parading the streets of Milan wearing bright red fezes, on the side of which are sewn the Italian col OTIS On a recent evening one of these sad eyed, tawny skinned men, dressed "a Ia turque," who wander about the chief cities of Europe offering Oriental rugs for sale, was booted by a gang of boys and abused for being a son of the prophet. After time the peddler lost his temper, and turning on his prosecutors said, in the purest East End Milanese, Be off, you young rascalsl I'm no Turk. I piled my trade here before you were thought of!'' The passers-by received this sally with hearty laughter, and since then the ooys have let the rug peddler alone.

 The expenses of the system have been very modest. The state spent during the last year the sum of $l120Oo on the con victs. This amount is largely the result Of the necessity of caring for feeble and diseased convicts, and for tuberculosis patients Each county cares for prac- tieally all the expenses of the men work ing the roads, with the exception of course of prison wardens, inspectors, and otner salaries, office accounts of the commits sion and other incidental expenses.

Tt is an open secret that the situation in Tripolf is not all that the government de- serves There has been a much more de- termined and effective resistance on he part of the Arabs and Turks than had been anticipated, and endorsements are being rushed across the Mediterranean with all possible dispatch.

 some quarters, particularly among the socialistic element of the working classes.

Opposition powerful and aggressive, to

Inspector, is being furnished by an
eastern corn concern. This corpora

Madison and pressure will be brought
TO bear upon Governor McGovern not

consin laws upon the subject OF pure
foods are being fought in the courts.
Their eonstitutionality is at stake. Mr..
Emery is the moving spirit in Wis
consin for more stringent regulations
on the subject of pure foods. The
big corporations fear his laws and in
his removal from Office they see pos
sible relief in this state. Mr.. Emery.
however, has done some notable work.
and he has strong following in the
state. This following probably will
grow stronger when It becomes gen.

The University of Wisconsin and
the department Of the state superin-
tendent of public instruction are In q
fight to a finish on an educational
question involved in the Werhwein bill.
This bill gives the state superinten-
dent jurisdiction over the educational
system of the state by reason of the
fact that it establishes a connecting
link between the high school system
and the state university President Van
Vernon County censor. [volume] (Viroqua, Wis.) 1865-1955, 1911-02-22

IIise in an address to the legislature
opposed the bill, which provides that
any graduate Of a free high school
having completed a four year course,
including two years Of English. His
tory and Science. shall enter the uni
verslty without any special examina-
ton Superintendent C p Cary in his
remarks said that the university was
part Of an educational system OF the
state-not the whole system. He be-
l1eved the connection between the high
school and the university should be as
close as It is between the graded
schools and the high school. Arguing
against the bill President Van Hise
said in part:
1.-THE state university has in no way
interfered with the state superinten-
dent In performance Of his duties. Inn
plication that the university has no
right legally to inspect high schools
is not true.
The official inspection Of the state
superintendent and inspection by the
university Is for wholly different pur-
poses The university inspection Is
at the request of the high schools in
order that the graduates from same
may have the advantage Of admission
TO the university without trouble of an
examination
I'm no case has the function OF the
admission to a university been placed
IN the hands OF a state superintendent;
in other words, the state superinten-
dent would be placed as superior to
the university faculty and regarded as
having greater wisdom than that body;
for this In effect is what the Wehr-
vein bin proposes.
"The advantage Of inspection by the
university is stimulating TO the high
schools. because the inspection in var
ious lines is done by experts. ] deny
absolutely that the university domi-
mates the high schools Of the state. II
Is not true at all that the high schools
must shape their course so as to meet
university entrance requirements.
THE proposal of the state superin-
tendent is not only TO make him COM
plete aut0crat Of high schools but to
give him power possessed by no state
superintendent the control Of ad-
mission requirements 20 the univer-
sity, and thus not only TO dominate
the high schools but to dominate the
university Il also would result In
dominating the nature Of work done
iu the university, and 80 far as stu
dents not properly prepared, would
compel the university To do high
school work and thus increase the ex-
pense OF that institution.
The suggestion that the legislature
should pass upon courses Of instruc-
tiou and sub jects in the high school
course d most unwise and lacking In
appreciation d the principals OF edu-
cation Education is q subject for en-
pers This state Is one In which gov
eminent by commission and there
lore bv experts is developed 10
an exec ptlqEal degree This Is be-
cause the body Of the state legis-
lafure wisely realizes that they can
not administer tn detail on technical
subjects The plan to have he legis'
lature determine the subjects which
must be studied for admission to the
