Minkwitz boarded with the family as
young Roosevelt, then fourteen, who
was in Germany to learn the language.
One day the now strenuous eX-presi-

Minkwit2 got out of patience. He turn

A few years ago Minkwitz met Pres

heartily
"You did exactly right, he said, for

DOES DYNAMITING REALLY AIDl.

Governor Brown is out in an in
teresting statement about the re
suits of his use of dynamite on his
Cherokee county farm. On ground
broken by this explosive he raised los
bushels of corn to the acre, where
the former yields had been but %
bushels. Naturally Gov. Brown con-
cludes from this that dynamite, at an
average cost of $40 to the acre, pays
the farmer, especially as the dyna-
hitting need not be repeated for three
or four years.
The theory of dynamiting the soil
seems to be a sound one. 1t breaks
up the soil for several feet below the
surface, enabling the rains to pene-
trate it and furnish reserves from
which the plants can draw moisture in
a dry season, while giving an outlet
for water in rainy spells and over
coming the evil effects of too much
precipitation.
But the Dawson News, some weeks
ago, published the results achieved
by a farmer of Terrell county who
dynamited one field and planted Il
with corn, and worked another field
without dynamiting. On both fields
he used the same fertilizer and gave
to each the same attention The
WELD for each was very heavy, but
that from the field not dynamited was
the larger.
This question of dynamiting SENS
to be still an open one. The Terrell
county man went about the solving
of it in the right way Perhaps it
would be a good idea for our Third
District Agricultural College to take
two ten-acre fields the coming season,
work them exactly the same, except
as to dynamiting one, and give the
farmers hereabout the results. Under
Supt. Columns direction this test
would really be an authoritative one
and possess especial value as a
guide.

NO MORE HIDING BEHIND
PATENTS.

One more form of extortion of the
grossest kind were effectually scotched
when the United States Supreme Court
on Monday declared illegal the agree
ment under which the manufacturers
of sanitary enameled ironware were
operating.
This bath tub trust" as it was gem
orally called, purused one of the most
rapacious policies toward the public
that has ever been met with. Through
control of a patent it proceeded to
force manufacturers into combine,
as result of which the prices of their
goods. with no additional expense in
the manufacture were arbitrarily
advanced forty per cent.
Other similarly constituted trusts
operating through some patent right
will now be attacked and, in all llkeli-
hood, effectually demolished under the
recent decision of the Supreme Court.

TEACH men TO Sew?
why NOT? She ASKS
Should Be Instructed in
Household Duties

Cleveland, O., Nov. 20.-Whether
men and boys should be instructed in
sewing, cooking and other household
duties was debated late today in a
second meeting of the American AS
ISOLATION for the Study and Proven
ton of Infant Mortality. No conclus-
ion was reached.
DR.. Helen c. Putnam, of Providence,
r. l., the chairman, held that educa
ton of men and youths, through con-
tinuation schools and classes. includ-
ing those primarily intended to in
crease wage earning capacity should
be sought in responsibilities and du-
ties of home makers other than sup
plying money. She favored the estab-
lishment of model houses and flats for
such instruction.
She hoped also for a law that would
insure girls being properly equipped
for the care of homes. This, she
thought, could De Drought ABOUT
through making certificates on de-
partments of home making and child
care requirements for graduation from
public schools.
C. A. Prosser, of the state board Of
education, Boston, opposed Dr.. Put
nam, maintaining that her theories
were inpracticable in that men AMI
youths would never consent to under
go needlework and such instruction;
that the public schools have shown
inability to induce girls to take Sc
riously to such branches, and that it
would be useless to try to extend the
influence of the schools to males
when it has been so ineffective among
the other sex.

JUDGE ANDREW J. C0BB'S SUG-
GESTI0N.

We sympathiza with the generous
spirit that Judge Andrew ]. Cobb dis
PLAYS toward President Taft-it is a
spirit worthy of Judge Cobb and Of
President Taft.
But we cannot agree with the idea
that if vacancy occurs on the United
States Supreme Court bench President
Wilson should nominate ex-President
Taft for it.
We can all appreciate the judicial
ability of MIR. Taft, of the excellent
record he made as Federal judge,
and of the high esteem in which he is
held, despite his political plumbers.
But, and here is the salient point,
MIR Taft is not in sympathy with
r. oppressive Democratic doctrines. BY
nature he is a conservative. To stand
pat" gratifes his incliRations far
more than to venture into new fields.
The Democratic party Of today is not
an institution of that type. 1t means
to bring about economic and social
reforms, it intends to institute laws
that will ameliorate the injustices that
have become so rank in recent years.
AS a Supreme Court justice the decid-
ing vote might rest in Judge Taft's
hands when laws enacted by a Demo-
cratic congress were brought before
that body for final decision as to their
constitutionality.
Mr. Taft does not belong to the
Democratic school of thought. His
ipto, probation of the constitution is
not exactly the Interpretation of the
leaders of the Democratic party. AS
Justice he would stand true to his
convictions. Why, then, should "A
Democratic president be urged to a2-
roit him to the Supreme Court, if
vacancy occurs?
Judge Cobb's card urging Southern
enforcement of President Taft for
the bench reflects the sense of graft
tude the South feels toward Mr.
Taf. for his kindly feelings to it. .lo
Repu5 :ican president, unless it wei c
Mckinley, ever displayed more SYM
pathetic SeIling for this section. Put
we would much prefer that the ex-
preston of Southern appreciation
take some other form than Judge CobI
suggests, if possible So far as the
Supreme Court is concerned, if va
cancies occur in the next four years
let us be thankful that the opportun-
/ ity offers to fill them with able law
yers who reflect Democratic views.

WHAT SHALL We
DO With little
JOE" BROWN?
BETTER LAWYER THAN Smith
Even as a Farmer He Over.
does Tom Hudson
Savannah Morning News.)

Mr. Bryan recently wrestled with the
question what shall we do with our
ex-presidents, meaning Mr.. Taft and
Col. Roosevelt. The people of Geor-
gia have a somewhat similar question
to settle. 1t is, what shall they do with
Gov Brown when his gubernatorial
term expires?
BY this question it isn't meant that
he will not know what to do with HIM
self when he leaves the governors Of
fee. 1t simply means that he has
proved himself efficient in so many
respects that the people may want his
services either as an adviser or lead
er in some other field of endeavor.
We have in mind particularly the de-
cision of the state supreme court
handed down on Friday in which 1t
is shown that Gov. Brown was right
when he said that the railroad COM
mission had no jurisdiction over the
rates of the Western and Atlantic
railroad between Georgia points and
Chattanooga, for the reason that the
rates were interstate. He refused to
instruct the commission to compel the
Western and Atlantic railroad to put
into effect Georgia rates between Geor
gia points and Chattanooga, notwith-
standing the fact that in the contract
leasing the road the state is given au
thority over the foregoing rates.
When Hon. Hoke Smith became gov
ernor he dissented from thhe opinion
of Gov. Brown, and directed the attor-
ney general to begin suit to compel
the enforcement of the Chattanooga
rate clause of the lease.
The conclusion from the foregoing is
that Gov Brown is first class law
year, The other day We commented on
the fact that this year Gov. Brown
had raised 1913 bushels of corn on an
acre, although the season wasn't ia
vorable one for corn, and there is no
doubt that he is very capable politi-
clan 1t is q question whether the peo
pie want him to set up as lawyer,
occupy a place on the bench of the
supreme court serve them in some
other political office or lead the way
in making Georgia corn growing
state. Having achieved distinction in
all of these positions he could be OF
service to the people in any one of
them. 1t seems appropriate therefore
to ask what shall We do with Gov.
Brown
