THE PRESIDENTS MESSAGE.

President Taft sent his message to
congress Tuesday. Its striking feat
ures are:
Sounds note of warning to Euro
pean powers, which by indiscreet
means continue to discriminate
against American trade.
A strong appeal is made by the
president to the congress to uplift
the great foreign policies of America
above mere questions of partisan
ship.
Claims vindication of the diplo-
macy of his administration, which is
characterized as that of dollars ver-
sus bullets
Makes an earnest appeal for joint
action by congress and the executive
to open new markets for American
industries.
For the first time in history, he
asserts, this country has been the
most favored by foreign countries.
Says IAN archaic and inadequate
machine" at the beginning has be-
come a new organization with highly
specialized bureaus and experts deal
ing with every phase of foreign trade.
Fifty-five per cent of the consuls
appointed were from Southern states
he says, in showing non-partisanship
in picking men for the diplomatic
service.
Points to a general easing OF the
international tension on the West
coast of South America.
Refers with pride to the open
door, policy obtained in China.
Aim of this country has been to
help smaller republics to help them
selves.

North Dakota, one Of the corn
growing states of the union, held a
corn growing contest this year in
which 513 farmers participated. The
average yield shown by these contest
ants was 52.2 bushels to the acre and
the prize winner was a twelve-year-
old boy, who grew III bushels on an
acre. Compared with the record Of
the boys corn clubs in Georgia this
looks like wasting time, says the Sa-
vannah News. And indeed it does. The
prize winner in the corn growing
contest in Terrell county produced
"a bushels more than the best North
Dakota could do. These Northwest
erners should come down here and
learn how to grow corn.

SUGGESTION AND SUICIDE.


That the suggestive effect of read
ing details of suicides is powerful
factor in the causation of suicides
among susceptible persons is recog-
nized. The suggestion is more likely
TO have influence when in the &C
count of the suicide some poisonous
article commonly found in house
holds, such as phenol, Lysol and
Rough on Rats, is named as the agent
employed by the suicide. In New
South Wales newspapers have been
asked by the pharmaceutical board
not to publish the names of poisons
used by suicides. In several instances
leading newspapers have needed this
request, particularly in connection
with Lysol poisoning cases, which
are numerous in all the states of the
commonwealth. The American Med
ical Association, in 1910, adopted
resolutions to the effect that the pub
lication of details of suicides in news
papers is one of the potent causes oil
other suicides through suggestion
and it was recommended to the pub
lie press that the details of suicide
be omitted from publication. Will

the newspapers assert that it is the
duty to publish the news. In ador
ing this attitude, says the Journ
of the American Medical Associate
the newspapers are assuming a Sc

AS the delicate bud suggests the
beauty of the full blown flower SO
this, little girl of ten summers; with
an aniahle. unselfish disposition and
spright1y mind, gives promise Of a
beautiful, lovable. character. The
following in a letter recently recaiv-
ed from Mrs. w. H. Davis, will tell
how the end came: Eva was con-
scious up to the very last breath.
Just one hour before her death she
had me wake Winnie Belle and she
gave her such q beautiful talk. She
fully realized that the end was near,
and she planned everything as il pre-
pairing for a journey and not at all
like death. She left little Winnie
child, and l feel sure she will be a
ray of sunshine in our home" At
the request of the deceased the body
was brought to Dawson for the last
long sleep. An impressive funeral
service was conducted by Rev. H. t.
Crumpton. The family desire to ex-
press deep appreciation to the many
friends who met them on their ar
rival in Dawson with words of sym

The Valdosta Times suggests that
when the democrats begin work on
their tariff measure a tax on cotton
imports might as well help raise rev.
enue for the government. Why not?
AS the new tariff is to be for revenue
only the products of all sections
should share alike in the benefits that
may be derived from the tax on for
eign articles of commerce. The South
has long been in the undesirable po-
sition of having to sell its products
in an open market, while tariff tax
adds to the cost Of almost everything
it buys.

The high cost of living and high
freight rates were problems with the
Egyptians 1900 years ago. We are
told that a fragmentary papyrus
manuscript in cursive Greek, which
has come into the possession of the
University OF Pennsylvania, shows
the ancients had some of the same
troubles that cause political upheav-
ais in modern days. All of which
may be interesting, but does not help
present conditions in the least.

Tree PIanting.-Today (Friday)
the school children of Atlanta, en-
couraged by their teachers and the
city federation of women's clubs, will
set out 10000 catalpa trees, the gift
of Jacobs Pharmacy. These trees
are of rapid growth, and by spring
time will be putting forth quite
show of foliage and before many
years they will be furnishing not only
shade, but homes for the insect de-
stroying birds. The child will take
a pride in caring for the tree he has
planted, and tree vandalism will be
done away with to- great extent.
Just where the trees will come from
for our tree planting we don't know.
AS stated before, some pecans have
already been given, and prominent
planter has promised water oaks, and
others are just waiting to be remind
ed that they can do it. Let US bear
in mind that the dane for this tree
planting will be set for the first ia
vorable day in January, and it must
be a big day. In the meantime our
attention is turned to- the silent city
of the dead in our midst There are
trees there going to ruin and bare
bleak spots where others could be
planted; a shelter that might be
painted up and comfortable seats put
in for the convenience and comfort
of those who have to walk out to at
tend to the graves of their loved
ones. IT'S a desolate spot at its
best, and if in any way it can be made
more cheerful for the Borrowing ones
let us do it, If the city fathers would
go out and look around they would
see the need for thess improvements
and be willing to make small APP
preparation. Fortunately, We have a
street overseer who has an eye for
the beautiful, and de has already
planned to make some improvements.
