1T ALL DEPENDS.

From the Savannah Press.
A preliminary statement of the
prison statistics for the year 1910
which has been issued from the cen
sus bureau shows that the ratio of
prisoners to population in January a
year ago was 125 to 100000.
Or, in other words, one out of ev-
cry 100 Americans went to jail in the
last year, Considering how many of
them did not go to jail this looks
pretty bad. South Dakota is hailed
as the best" of the states, because
it's prison population is 48 to 100000
to its outsiders. But we can't help
wondering whether this should be
construed as a reproach rather than
a credit to her. There is no telling
how many of South Dakota's citizens
ought to be in Jail, and until data
along this line can be accumulated
and published we must refuse to pay
South Dakota the reverence she
seems to be claiming.
In Georgia, for instance, our pride
of state would be greatly gratiied if
we could feel sure that the jails are
entertaining all of the guests which
they were designed to care for.

WILL GOV. BROWN RETIRE?

The legislature viii meet in d
week, and then we will have Gov
ernor Brown in the executive chair
again. The Savannah News thinks it
is one of the probabilities that the
governor believes so strongly the
people have confidence in him he
may consent to take another term or
perhaps aspire to a seat in the Unit
ed States senate. The News has no
idea what the governors intentions
are, but there is one thing we are
certain of and that is if he runs for
any office the man who defeats him
will know there has been a race. No
public man in Georgia in years has
been as close to the people-those
whose interest is only in safe and
sound government and not in the
spoils of office-as Governor Brown,
and they have faith in his wisdom
and integrity.
Many of his fellow Georgians who
were prejudiced against him few
years ago have since learned his real
worth and are among his most ar
dent champions

The Shellman Sun suggests Editor
Howell of the Cuthbert Leader for
the next senator from this district.
Happy thought, and The News has
tens to second the motion and add
it's earnest endorsement of the good
things said of him. Besides his
qualifications for the office Editor
HowelIs paper has been an import
ant factor in the upbuilding of Cuth-
bert and Randolph county, and he
deserves any honor his people can
bestow upon him. We believe they
will esteem it a privilege to make it
Senator Howell of the Eleventh dis

A "HOuse of Editors. "
Savannah News

From the Savannah News.
Editor Deming of the Cheyenne
Tribune wants President Taft to in
stitute a House of Editors" to ad-
wise congress what to do and how to
do it. But, bless US, is there not al
ready a House Of Editors as broad
and as long as the continent, and are
not the members of it daily giving
advice to congress and the president
and the country at large on all sorts
OF subjects? No, a special House
of Editors" is not needed, because
the general one is quite sufficient.
Besides, the House Of Governors"
might get jealous.

eminent prosecutor under President
Roosevelt, he originated the enuncia-

against the Santa Fe system for re-

between him and the arrest of Nor

RAILROAD BUILDING IN SOUTH

Little initiative is apparent in rail-
road construction in the South dur
ing 1911, the total new mileage
amounting to only 1900, which is
the smallest showing in the last ten
years. Texas heads the list with
AIS miles completed for the year.
1t is said by outspoken officials that
the vigorous attitude maintained to-
ward the roads in some quarters have
Influenced the lines toward adopting
a conservative policy, and that only
essential tracks have been laid.
The estimate of 5000 miles for
