GALL THAT A MAN HATH, THAT
WILL HE GIVE"

Untold wealth was represented III
the passenger list of the Inflated I'll
tanic. Among those on board wer'
men whose possessions ran well On
toward the fifty million or even the
one hundred million mark. In the
parlance of common talk, there was
nothing they could not buy. Yet a,
the last moment, when life was the
stake, with all their wealth they could
not buy a seat in a boat, a few inches
of space into which they could
scrouge.
Was there ever a better demon
stration of the insigniicance of mere
wealth as compared with life? Was
there ever a more dramatic demon
stration of the vivid truthfullness of
the scriptual saying, "All that man
hath that will he give for his life?'
How much would Astor, or Wild
ener, or Guggenheim, or any of the
other multi-milIionaires, have given
| for room in one of the ships boats
just enough room to hold them? Is it
exceeding the limits of probable facts
| to declare that millions piled upon
millions would have been freely eX-
changed for a seat and the bargain
considered a cheap one. But it was
not to be. Women and children, with
! little or no means, were provided for,
and the men of vast wealth awaited
the end, realizing, as probably never
| before, the utter futility of wealth
when it comes to such a great crisis
as this.
Wealth is a great thing to have
The possession of enormous means
carries with it opportunities fol
pleasure and for usefulness that arr
incalculable. But it does not carry
with it the right nor the power to re
strain the hand of death by a second
the right nor the power to displac,
the unwritten but memorable law o
the sea women and children first"
That the rich men of the Titani'
met their end bravely we have n
doubt. That they heroically playe,
their part we have no reason but t.
believe. Wealth does not make mel
towards, and John Jacob Aston an,
others of his class have shown that il

Facts and Figures Show This
Plainly

Columbus, Ga, April 1.-THE In

this week:
Figures and facts show that the
Southeast is advancing at rate
which is not equalled in any Other
lart OF the country. The Southeast
has more undeveloped resources than
has any other section, and the devel-
opment of them is proceeding sub
stantially and steadily. Progress in
construction lines is possibly even
ahead of industrial development. A
great amount of building is being
done in every part of the Southeast
and larger volume is planned
New money and new people are
coming continually into this section
aiding in its upbuilding- and the vol
mo If money and number of people
increase constantly.
Preparations are being made for
the construction of a waterpower de-
elopment dam in Alabama at i
cost of about $1,250,OO0 Railroads
are to build new freight terminals in
Florida and Georgia cities at an az
gregate cost of nearly $500,0O0
AN ALBANIA iron company has ar
ranged for the issuance of $25 900,

A DISTINCT LOSS TO THE
SCHOOLS.

1t was with general regret that the
community learned that Superinten
dent A. G. Miller had accepted sim
liar position with the public schools
of Waycross and that Americas would
be deprived of his services after the
present school year.
Prof. Miller has made an eXcellen
administrator of the public schools
Under his direction there has been an
entire absence of friction. The schools
have gone forward in their mission
stimulated by his forceful work, their
curriculum has been brOadened, their
teaching corps maintained at high
standard and the results have been
such as to prove beyond critisicm thaf
Prof Miller was the right man for
the position occupied by him.
1t is very much to be regretted thai
a change should come in the eXecu-
tive head of the public school system
just as it has got working so salts
factorily as it has done the past two
or three years. 1t is but natural,
though, that Prof. Miller should ac-
cept an opening that carried with II
such a substantial increase in salary
The best wishes of the parents OF
Americas, of the entire people of the
citv as matter of fact, will go with
him to his new field of work If a
essor of as high a type as he is
can be secured Americas will have
occasion to congratulate itself.

Can He Tell the Truth?

Nothing 80 audacious and impudent
as Mr.. Roosevelt's mendacity has
over before been known to the public
life of the United States. No man
who had tho slightest regard for the
truth would be capable Of making
such n charge ns this: '''
In many parts of tho country,
notably in New York, one of our most
serious difficulties has been the cons-
tant suppression of news, go that the
great masses of the people have been
kept in ignorance of what has hap
pencd.
Mr.. Roosevelt has had the benefit
of more space in the New York news
papers than any other man that over
lived. During this campaign they
have printed in full every statement
he issued. They have printed in full
every claim made by himself and his
campaign managers. They have
printed his speeches, they have print
ed his charges. they have printed his
reckless accusations.
The World, for example, not only
keeps II correspondent at Oyster BAY
but it sends correspondent to &C.
company Mr.. Roosevelt on his speech
making tours. We do not believe
there is newspaper in New York
whose columns arc not open to Mr..
Roosevelt for anything he wishes to
say. provided it is not criminally
libelous on the face of it. MIR.
Roosevelt knows this to be fact. II
any Roosevelt news has been sup
pressed, it was suppressed by Theo-
dore Roosevelt and not by the news.
