DOUBLE line OF RAILS
ACROSS The STATE
Double Tracking Of Central
Railroad

Atlanta, Feb. 1S.-Tha arrival in
Georgia the latter part Of this week Of
Judge Lovett, head OF the Hartman
railroad lines, and President Mark
ham of the Central Of Georgia, will ne
of more interest to the state at large
than the presence of two even such
famous moguls as these usually afford
The two railroad leaders are in this
part of the country looking over the
ground before laying definite plans for
double tracking the Cen raj of Georgia
railroad from Birmingham to Savan-
nah. 1t is already certain that this
will be done.
Judge Iovett and Mr.. Markham We're
in Birmingham today. Tomorrow they
will probably come through to Macon
and thence either to Allan a or to
Savannah
The plan is to make the Central of
Georgia part of the great Hartman
system which stretches from the At
lantic to the Pacific coas and is but
one detail in a series of improvements
which will cost in all $75,O00,OOO The
double tracking of the Central will
mean vastly increased volumes of bus
mess.

GERMANS COMMON SENSE
METHODS.

The legislature OF Oregon has re-
pealed the law creating a whipping
post for the punishment Of men VINO
mistfeab their wives; 1t was argued
by those ~iio favored repeal thai aside
from the fact that the punishment
was inhuman and should not be toll
Grated in a civilized country, Wife
beating had ceased, and the law was
no longer necessary. But it may be
that the law acted as a deterrent to
brutal husbands, and with the fear OF
the whipping post no longer in their
minds they may return to the practice
of chastising their wives for real or
imaginary offenses.
In that event Oregon and other
states might adopt Germany's prac-
teal and effective method of dealing
with the man who beats his better
half. Instead of sending him to jail
for a continuous period, as is done IN
this country, thus depriving the fam
lily of the mans wages for that time,
the German offender is arrested on
Saturday as he leaves his work and
held in prison until it is time for him
to go to work on Monday. This plan
is followed until he has served the
number of days of his sentence, and 1t
the end of each week the money he
has earned is turned over to his wife.
This method of punishment, it is
said, has proved most effective in the
cases of wife-beaters without causing
their families deprivation and suffer
ing. The plan is a good one, and it
ought to be adopted in this country in
lieu of the whipping-post and the con-
tinuous Jail sentence

WHERE CLARK AND BAILEY DIS
AGREE.

There is a sharp divergence of opin-
ion between the leader of the Demo-
cratic party in the House and the lead
er in the Senate, Clark and Bailey, as
to the proper course for the party to
pursue with regard to tariff legisla-
ton. Bailey, who has taken sharp is
sue with other leaders on the question
OF free raw supplies, does not hesitate
to oppose the next Speakers views
with regard to the policy of the party
When it assumes control of the House
next December, or in a special session
if one is called.
Representative Clark took the
ground in the early stages, and still
holds to it, that for the Democratic
house to bring in an entirely new tar
riff bill would be waste of time. He
pointed out that if the senate were
Democratic, such plan would work,
well, but would be fruitless SO long as
the work of the Democratic house had
to be approved by Republican senate.
Every Democratic member of the
house who is sincere in really want
ing something done on the tariff is
claimed to be standing by Clark. Ii
was not because Representative Clark
really believes in a tariff commission
that he supported the tariff commits
sion bill and advised his Democratic
associates to vote for it, but because
ne believed a commission might really
be helpful in making some changes in
the Aldrich-Payne law Immediately.
Senator Bailey's demand is for
/ Wholesale revision. He would have the
Democrats of the ways and means
committee Of the new house prepare
an entirely new bill, based on the old
Democratic principle of tariff for rev
enue only. He would absolutely disre-
gard the Aldrich-Payne law in pre-
pairing this tariff for revenue only
bill. He and those Democrats in the
senate who follow him, would put this
tariff for revenue bill through the
house of representatives with the ex-
eenpdon that a Republican senate
would reject it in toto. The he would
have the Democratic party go before
the country in the presidential cam
Daign next year with the tariff as its
paramount issue. He would have the
party point out that it had passed
genuine tariff reform measure through
the house Of representatives, and that
a Republican senate had blocfed the
legislation

COMING DECISIONS OF VAST
MOMENT.

The industrial world is waiting with
anxiety for the decision of the SUI
preme court of the United States in
the Standard Oil and American To-
bacco Company cases The court is
now in recess. The justices are at
their homes, studying the briefs and
arguments in these two great trust
cases. They will meet later and ex-
change views. One of the justices will
then be assigned to write the decision
in the Standard Oil case and another
to write the decision in the American
Tobacco Company case. While the
two cases present in a general way
the same large question for decision.
they are not on all tours, so it is as
serted by lawyers 1t is possible, SO
lawyers who have studied the cases
carefully say, that the court might
find for the government in one case
and against it in the other without
subjectiog itself to any criticism.
The expectation is that these two
important cases will be decided at the
sitting of the court following Easter
Sunday, but as matter of fact, no
one outside the circle of the nine JUS
tees has any information on which 10
base his prediction. The known facts
are that the cases have been argued
and are now being studied by the JUS
tees.
1t is only natural that the great in
dustrial concerns of the country should
be anxious about the decisions. The
cases are bound to become historic, for
they involve the stability of the large
industrial concerns of the country as
at present organized The decision
viii be of supreme Importance, wheth-
,er they sustain or reject the conten-
ton of the government that the Stan
dard Oil Company and the American
Tobacco Company must be dissolved
because, as at present organized, they
violate the provisions of the Sherman
antitrust law. If the decisions should
be in favor of the government a de-
mand would undoubtedly be made on
the President by many citizens of the
country that he institute proceedings
against other trusts as rapidly as the
machinery Of the department of JUS
tee could be set in motion A victory
for the trusts would, it is we'll under
stood, raise a clamor all over the coun-
try that the Sherman antitrust law be
strengthened; there would be demand
that teeth be put into the law.
So whichever way the cat jumps, i'm
p0rtant developments are bound to fol-.
low. Persons who understand the ways
of President Taft are firmly convinc-
ed that if the decisions of the court in
the two cases should be a complete
victory for the government, he would
not run amuck; he could be counted
on to handle a very delicate situation
with great care. In other words, the
president could be counted on to re-
frain from taking step that would
throw the industrial world into tenn
porary chaos

DRIVING TYPHOID OFT OF THE
WORLD.

The War Department has issued a
bulletin which it is hoped will interest
the State. authorities in the anti
typhoid crusade started by the medical
CORPS of the regular army According
to this bulletin one-seventn Of the SOL
diers in the United States army have
been rendered immune to typhoid by
vaccination, and to show the need Of
more effective dealing with the disease
which has been the scourage of arm
les in the past years, few statistics
are quoted During the Spanish-Am-
erican war there occurred 20,738 cases
of typhoid among 103S73 men, with
1850 deaths. In the Boer war the Eng
Iish had 81, 900 cases, with 5,877 deaths,
and during the Franco-Prussian war
the Germans had 70, 1896 cases, with s.
7S9 deaths.
These figures show the desirability
of adopting any means to check
typhoid that have proved themselves to
be effective, and there is not the least
doubt that the vaccination plan has a
record to recommend it. The serum
now used in the regular army is pre-
pared at the United States Army Med
ical School at Washington with the
greatest care, and as an instance of
the effectiveness of incubation with it
some facts are quoted from the eXpe-
rience gained last summer during the
army maneuvers at Gettysburg.
Ten days previous to leaving Wash
ington Barracks for these maneuvers, -
says the bulletin, 'ninety-two members
of Company A, First Battalion of En-
gineers, received the first anti-typhoid
incubation, and after arriving at Get
tysburg they were given the second
and third incubation. Two other mem
bers of the command had already5 had
typhoid fever and were therefore i'm
mune. There were twenty-four mem
bers of the company who were not i'm
mune and who We're not inoculatad.
Some of them objected to the vaccin-
alton and others were absent when the
treatment was initiated.
Five days after the troops returned
from Gettysburg, two of the inoculated
men developed typhoid fever, and with
in the next twelve days four secondary
cases of the fever occurred, also
among the uninoculated. Not a single
case occurred among those who had
been Vaccinated, while twenty-five per
cent. Of the non-immune, living under
exactly the same conditions in camp
and in the barracks at Washington,
succumbed to infection"
The experience of this company has
been duplicated in other commands.
Moreover it is said that no bad results
have followed over 81 900 NEGOTIATIONS
in the army which seems to be conclus-
i've proof of the safety of the serum
used. The medical experts of the
army who have studied the matter
carefully are convinced that the inn
munity granted by incubation ill last
for a period of at least three years,
and they recommend that in the event
of hostilities the vaccination of the
militia and volunteers constituting
the reserve army, be made compulsory
before mobilization. If this plan is
adopted they predict that the decima-
ton of our land forces in past wars by
typhoid fever will not be repeated.

WIFE AND FAMILY ON CLAIM
NOW PASSES FOR RESiDENcE

Rapid City, S. D., Dec. 25.-Assist-
ant Commissioner S. V. Proudit, OF
the United States land office, at Wash
ington, has just rendered a decision.
which, it is stated, will be the law re-
garding the domicile and residence Of
homesteaders or their claims in the
future. The ruling practically saws
that, where the wife and family reside
on the claim during a period of IA
months, this is a residence that ia
all tnat IS necessary to prove when
the hornesteader may be away at work,
as Is often the case and not lose his
rights.
The decision follows closely on agi-
tation, which induced President Taft
to take cognizance of the injustice of
the law, when in South Dakota last
October. 1t also shows the work which
Senator Gamble and Representatives
Martin n Burke have been doing
since their return to Washington. in
the interest of South Dakota home
steaders.
The facts in the ease are as follows.
CHARLES Is. Zenor came to South Da-
kota from Boone, Ia, in April, 1907,
and made entry on the northeast n.
section I, township 4 north. range q
east, near Pierre. In June, 1908. His
~ months residence on the claim ex-
pred n he committed. A special
agent of the government contested the
entry and the evidence showed that
while the wife and family of Zenor had
lived on claim during the entire
period, he had worked as a barber in
Fierre for most of the time and had
peen nothing more than an n%freuuent
visitor at the claim.
