WHERE REFORM is NEEDED.

We note from a Little Rock (Ark)
dispatch to the New York Tribune
that vigorous campaign has been
undertaken by the Rev. Benjamin
Cox, pastor of the First Baptist
church of Little Rock, against the
prevailing styles in women's dress.
His congregation is divided into two
factions one bitterly denouncing him
for interfering where he has no bus
mess" and the other and larger fac
ton praising him.
He says the present styles, as a
rule, tend to indecency and immod-
esty in exposing arms, necks, shout
ders and ankles.
The evil effects of these styles on
the street, in the parlor, on the ball
room floor" the Rev. Mr.. Cox is quot
ed as saying, are so awful in their
menace to social purity that national
decency must rapidly deteriorate un-
less the good women themselves con-
denim the fashion and force return
to styles more in keeping with deco
rum"
The short, slim skirts so popular
today, are also denounced "a wo-
man who appears on our streets in
one of those short, slim skirts does
not realize how she looks, " says Mr.
Cox. In my judgment the harem
skirt is far more decent than many
other skirts, for there is enough clott
in one leg of one of those skirts t.
make one of those short, slim skirts.
The Arkansas minister has under
taken an impossible task-the refor,
nation of women's dress-but there
is no doubt that he will have the
almost unanimous good wishes Of the
men in his crusade.

WAR ON THE BOIL wEEvTL.

The Washington Post says that the
promoters of a State Chamber of
Commerce at GAINESVILLE called on
Mr.. Wilson, the Secretary of Agri-
culture, on Tuesday and invoked his
help in a war on the boil weevil, and
the Secretary pledged the aid of his
department and said that sixty-five
trained experts in fighting the weevil
would be sent to the South at once
to instruct the cotton farmers as to
the best means of checking the raw
ages of the pest.
This is gratifying news. AS the
Savannah News says, 1.-The farmers
are in need of Institutional least
The great majority of those of the
states which haven't been infested
by the weevil are. Although much
has been published as to the methods
adopted in Texas and Louisiana for
getting the best of the weevil it is
practically certain that a very big
percentage of the cotton farmers of
this state haven't yet taken the troub-
lie to make themselves acquainted
with those methods. Somehow or 9TH
er they seem to think that the weevil
will not visit Georgia They are go
ing to find out their mistake The
weevil is coming this way, and will
be here either next year or the fol-
lowing year"

WILL START ANEW TODAY.

The hunt for something new to
tax, to get more money to spend, will
start afresh up at the state house
today, when the legislature will con-
vene in annual session. All of the
state universities, schools and other
institutions and some of the govern
mental departments have already
their hands outstretched for increas-
ed appropriations, and nothing big
or little that can yield more tax will
be allowed to escape. 1t has been
proposed that a license tax be i'm
posed on electric theatres-the little
fiTe-cent and penny shows in cities
and some of the towns where
graphOphone grinds out distressing
noise that is called music and few
pictures are thrown on canvass, and
which are patronized mostly by wo-
men and children.
Well it may be asked, where is the
scramble for tax money going to end?

THE COMING SESSION.

From the Meriwether indicator.
There will be heap of talking and
not much else done. A flood of bills
Will be introduced at the first oUpor-
tunity, but few of which we hope will
be passed. The laws of real fmnort-
ance wall be delayed until the last
Gays OF the session, and then acted
upon IN very hasty and iIl-advised
manner. A great deal of hot air has
got to be expended before the atmos-
phere will clear up. It would be a
good thing to donate the first ten
days OF the session to the escape of
thlS expensive warm air, and then
get down to business. But the hot
ar may be blessing in disguise. in
mat 1t may prevent the passage of
some fool laws.

BIG TIMES OVER THERE.

Our cousins across the water-in
Great Britain, to be more explicit
have been all aglee several days, for
it has been coronation time over
there. The festivities lasted the
week through, the chief event being
Friday, when George, the fifth of his
name, and his wife Mary were
crowned King and Queen of the Unit
ed Kingdom of England, Scotland,
Ireland and Wales; as Emperor and
Empress of India and the Dominions
and Islands Beyond the Seas. 1t was
as great pageantry as the world ever
saw. Many people say it was all
foolishness and waste Of money and
effort; but it signifies a great princi-
pie, and the British are a great peo-
pie. We Inherited their language
customs, laws and religion, and they
are a people we may be proud tc

Irrigation is something of a nov
city in Georgia. In this state the
precipitation is so nearly uniform
that as rule there is about always
as much moisture as the crops need.
But there are exceptions to all rules,
The Savannah News says that near
Jackson, in Butts county, the Bark
ley brothers tried irrigation on a
prize lot of corn. They installed a
gasoline engine and piped water from
convenient pond when the rains
failed to come seasonably. The re-
suit was that they harvested 1877
bushels of corn to the acre. The sue
cess of this experiment has set other
farmers to thinking, and our Sayan-
nah contemporary believes it is not
improbable that irrigation will in
time be rather extensively employed
in Georgia.

BRANTLEY ON THE TARIFF.

From the Rome Tribune
William G. Brantlcy is q congress-
man of whom Georgia may we'll be
proud, we think. Ee i, not only a
highly intelligent mamie is more
than that; he is man with the cour-
age of his convictions. And these
convictions are staunchly democratic,

Mr.. Brantley gave utterance to some
very sound opinions.
The speaker denied that the re-
publican party had discovered or in
vented the policy of protection and
said that the first tariff law ever en-
acted passed TuIy 4, 1889, in terms
recognized protection by reciting that
the law was enacted not only for
taxes, but for protection of American
industries.
He said every tariff law ever writ
ten contained protection, and that
protection could not be avoided save
by absolute free trade, or by taxing
non-cOmpetitive articles only, and
that the democratic party did not and
never had stood for either PROPOSE

publican doctrine of protection he
said the party at first only wanted
to add to infant industry" Protec-
ton to wages of laborers next in
cIuded the entire cost of production,
eliminating in the platform of 1908
declaring for protection of profits.
He ridiculed and condemned the
theory and practice of republicans.
He quoted literally from Presidents
Polk and Jackson and Secretary
Walker in support of Lis argument
that duty should not be laid on a
competitive article, and said the incl
dental and inevitable protection that
went with revenue duty was in the
early days not only recognized, but
approved. He strongly supported
the ways and means committee bill.
saying 1t made the issue between a
tariff for revenue whose rates were
competitive and a tariff for protec-

Personally he expressed a preference
for laying duty on raw wool. be-

and leave the raw wool free would.

wool grower by doubly protecting
the manufacturer. He laid down no
rule that raw material should al
ways be taxed, but objected to the
rule that it should never be taxed
Inc true rule, in his opinion. was
mat where a revenue tax was laid
upon a manufactured article the raw
material of which was largely pro-
duced in this country a revenue tax
should also be placed on the raw
material He said he knew of no
other way to do justice to all inter
ests.
The amount of revenue necessary
TO be raised from a given commodi-
ty,' said Mr.. Brantley, should first
be determined and then apportioned
between the finished product and the
raw material. Neither should have
anything but revenue duty and the
advantage accruing to the commodi-
ty by reason of the tax should be ap-
portioned between the manufacturer
and the producer of the raw mate

HAWA||AN.BORN
JAPANESE MANY
Birth-rate In Islands Has In
creased to ESQ Monthly,
Says Oriental Review.

A large number of japanese arc
returning to Japan in almost every
steamer of the Togo Kisen Kalsha
line. and II is interesting to note the
fact that large percentage Of them
are Hawaiian-bOrn japanese. Accord
ing to The Oriental Review" which
IL edited by Mr.. Masujiro Honda Of
New York, which Is read throughout
the Empire of Japan, and in the
States, about $50 Japanese children
are born In the islands every month.
The majority of this number. live in
the City and County of Honolulu.
Owing to this birth-rate Of the Jap
anese birth In the islands, the "Ori-
entail Review" continues, some Anne
ricans fear that Hawaii will be over
run by the japanese In a short while.
The Japanese themselves on the con-
rary, do not believe that their chill
dren, born in Hawaii, will retain ia
pans national traits for any length
of time. There are in the islands to-
day about 1868 Japanese and, their
children are compelled to attend the
japanese schools every day either be-
fore or after the opening and closing
of the government schools.
ConsulGeneral Uyeno who Is prac-
tically tie head OF the educational
work among his people in Hawaii. Is
keeping himself well posted on the
educational question. He has given
and is still giving his efforts to bene-
NJ his people, with a view to bring
ing them 10 realize and respect the
laws of the country In which they
live today. In his letter. which he
recently addressed to Secretary Wood
of the Promotion Committee OF Ha-
wall, Consul-General Uyeno said in
part, as follows:
More than half the people of tho
world live around the shores OF the
mighty Pacific Ocean and their inter-
lands. II is Of the first importance
that these various people know ons
another. and by their travel and In
ter-communication friendly acquain-
lance Is established which makes for
the friendship and prosperity Of all. -
The mingllng Of the japanese and
white people IN Hawaii is apparently
being carried on. not with rancor and
mistrust, but in a most friendly and
cooperating spirit.
