Prohibition the Issue

Atlanta, Sept. 2nd.-The same
shrewd Atlanta politicians who be-
lieved week ago that the liquor
question would not become a para
mount issue in this gubernatorlal
campaign, now declare that the COM
plexion of the situation has changed
entirely within the last four days.
A week ago it was believed that
the real fight would be along the
old Iine-ups. Former Gov. Brown
on one side and a Hoke Smith man,
not yet chosen, opposing him.
It is rumored within the last day
or two, however, that the liquor In
terests have Decided to lineup SOL
idly behind Judge Richard B. Rus
sell, the local option candidate, and
make the fight. The prohibitionists,
it is said, are rallying behingJ. Pope
Brown and make him their official
candidate.
So strongly are these rum0rs cur
rent that it is generally believed
they will have their effect on the
talk of candidacy of Joseph NJ.
Brown, and that Mrr. Brown may
decide after all. to remain out OF
therac 1t is not denied that if
the liquor interest decided to sup
port Judge Russell actively, it would
take away very seriously from Form
er Governor Browns strength.
Despite the expressed belief o.
politicians to the contrary, the pro-
hibition question is beginning to as
sume huge proportions. What atti-
tued Governor Brown would take
on prohibition in the event he did
come ont is the subject Of specula-
Though he never came out fat
footed before he received support
from the liquor element.
It is probable that the guberna-
toriaI primary will take place about
the middle Of December, Governor
Smith is expected to resign within
the next sixty days, to take effect
December 1st, 1t is probable that
the governor will give notice of his
exact intentions at least thirty days
before he actually quits the office.

Band Raids Soda FOunt.

The Emma Tucker Band headed
by Mrs. r. J. Prentiss made a raid
on Coodmans drug store yesterday
pm. About 40 strong with banners
waving the band marched up Grant
St. and into the drug store where
they found plenty of cream and
chewing gum and for short while
the store was the center of attraction
and quite a busy place.
The band has just held the regular
monthly business meeting at which
they raised the ten dollar Bible
Woman's fund and under the leader
ship of Mrs. Prentiss decided to have
a set up to ice cream and soda.

The Opening Of Schools

Monday morning, Sept 4th. at
/ $50, the Fitzgerald Public Schools
will open. Pupils will come to
school, receive their books, and the
necessary instructions from their
teachers concerning other supplies
We call attention to the fact that
the copy book method of teaching
writing has been discarded in fa-
vor of The Palmer System of Busi-
ness Writing" which is the muscu-
lar system. In the purchase of
pencils for the children, we ask pa
rents to select for the pupils of the
first and second grades a large pen
Gil with soft lead. We had selected
Dixon's Beginners Pencil, but the
manufacturer has failed to make
shipment as agreed. Therefore it
is necessary to get a substitute.
Some of the dealers have ordered
substitutes from other factories.
Remember that a school child's
pencil should not have an eraser
on 1t. This encourages carlessness
Furthermore, if he starts to writes
something and puts mark thru it
the teacher has an idea of his first
thought or impulse and can follow
the working of his mind in max
ing the correction.
We invite the patrons and others
who are interested to attend the
opening of the High School. Your
presence ON this occasion gives en-
couragement to both teachers and
pupils. Often words spoken oh such
occasions are carried through life
by some boy or girl. More than one
life is at the turning point. 1t be-
hooves all of us to use every In.
fiuence in the right direction, may
we be encouraged to struggle
against obstacles and difficulties.

of a few years of experience, they get

While the result is most gratifying, I
do not like the reason. The company.
in the first place, surely only employed
female help because it was The sper
than male. Now the company, in JUS
tice to the u%nsuspecting females, ought
to tell them that the real reason why
they are not wanted is because they do
not measure up to their jobs.
Wherever women have entered fields
of employment held by men they haye e
had the effect of reducing wages. The
employers, as a rule, thought that they
were exercising true economy by get
ting cheaper help. They are now learn
ing the stern lesson that 1t is more eco
nomical to pay a good salary to a
steady man than a poor salary to an

place in the economy of nature. My
humble and. perhaps, old-fashioned
opinion is that it is the home.

CHILD DEATHS
MORE THAN M~ANHATTAN'S


NEW YORK, Aug. 10.-Investigation
by the Public Service League of
Brooklyn has followed an official state
ment of the health department showing
that during July the mortality among
children under the age Of Ave years
was greater In Brooklyn than in Man
haitian, where the population is one
third greater.
In answer to the Public Service
Leagues questions several explana-
lions were advanced by oflcials of the
Board Of Health. 1t wal said that the
Manhattan bureau of the department
is greatly assisted in it's work by pri-
vate charities which care for ailing
children and children of the poor.
Another explanation was hat many
deaths in summer occur in seaside
homes for children at Coney Island
and other points along the Brooklyn
shore.

Prevention Better Than Redress.
To the Editor OF the Evening Star;
In a recent edition of your paper you
had a Photograph of a check for ninety
two thousand seven hundred dollars
and fifty-one cents, representing a
Judgment of seventy thousand dollars
against the Northern Pacific railroad
with interest from 1906 at the rate Of
about 1878 a day. The man who re-
ceived this record Judgment had both
legs and one arm cut off and recov-
cred after a long session in a Califor-
mia hospital. What good is a man with
no legs and only one arm? True. his
family will have the benefit of the
money, but even al that they will know
that it was only gotten by their rela-
tive suffering. Why can't the railroads
be forced to fix all the dangerous spots
in their systems so that there will be
no such horrible accidents? 1t would
mean a saving of injuries to the people
and mon.y to the railroad.
JUSTICE.

coNDEMNlNd DISTRICT SCHOOL Bull D1Nds

I'm NDER the new school law the State school authorities have
III the power to condemn district school buildings that are
not properly constructed II are otherwise unfit for occu
pancy. Twenty-Five school buildings in Passaic county have now
been condemned and cannot be used by the districts in which they
are located until necessary improvements and changes are made
These schools are all in four townships and one borough. The
action taken by the State commissioners in Passaic will doubtless
be followed by similar action in other counties. There are scores
of schoolhouses in New Jersey that are unfit and even dangerous
1t is the duty of the school district to provide school buildings and
sites and to furnish them, and too often the school district board
is either parsimonious or neglectful. Men get on these boards who
are incapable of school management. The old State Board of Edu-
cation did not have the power conferred on the new board and
could not discipline the district boards, so these boards have built
and maintained schoohouses as they pleased and without any
supervising authority. Under the new law there will be a salutary
change in schoolhouse conditions in the smaller districts of the
State where these conditions prevail.

m MOTHER great struggle between the railroad interests ana
Nl organized labor is forecasted in the issue that has arisen In
the Middle West, where the employees of the Western rail
roads have made demands upon the companies equivalent to an ont
lay of $50,000,000 a year. The employees demand increased pay
as well as shorter hours. necessHating a large increase IN the labor
force. Recognition of the labor unions representatives is refused
by the railroad managers, arbitration will not be listened to and
the railroads are. prepared to fight. If a struggle shall begin 1t
will probably involve the railroad systems in the East, and in any
event will seriously affect them and be disastrous to the business
of the country. The conviction is held by many railroad men that
sooner Dr. later the question of labor must be fought out and that
it is the policy of the railroad companies to force the issue as soon
as possible and have it settled. The Western railroads cannot afford
to increase their labor expenses by the gigantic sum of fifty mil
lions annually. They would rather sacrifice the money in a strug
gle that would impoverish the labor union, and, besides, the rail
road company can always recoup its losses. Labor never can.
