HOW GEORGIA CAN ATTAIN
ECONOMIC INDEPENDENCE

The statement by Secretary Cooper,
of the Atlanta Chamber of Commerce.
that Georgia lacks more than thirty
seven millions dollars annually Of
making ,nough money out of its cot
ton crop to pay for the food supplies
brought into the State brings home
the vital need of such work as is be-
ing done by the Boys Corn Clubs and
kindred agencies 1t is only through
progressive and businesslike methods
CT farming that the State can become
self-sustaining, as it should be, and
attain that rich measure of economic
independence which is it's natural due.

Authorities reckon that the people
of Georgia spent last year one hun

other food supplies which could have
been raised easily and cheaply at

THE CANAL AND THE FLEET.
(From the New York SUM-


The most welcome information thet
Colonel George W. Goethals ha
communicate elYouC the Panama Canal
on his present visit to the States is
not that the battleship fleet might be
gotten through the canal in October
in an emergency but that the slides
so often reported will not seriously
interfere with the progress of the
wUrk or prevent the official opening.
This assurance is worth a hundred
speculations about the passage OF
battleships, and for two reasons:
One is that the croakers have been
limiting at the failure of the canal, and
the other is that only war with an
Asiatic Power would require the shift
of the fleet to the Pacific and there
will be no war.
People who are nervous about the
completion of the canal for war pur-
poses have very short memories. In
1898 the battleship Oregon, whose best
speed was only II knots, steamed
from San Francisco to Jupiter Inlet,
Florida in five days less than two
months. She sailed on March 10 and
sighted Florida on May "a. 1t does
not seem to occur to the timid ones
that if there were war cloud no lar
ger than mans hand on the horizon
rim, wise Government would not wait
until the canal had filled with water
on October /, but would start the fleet
down the coast of South America 70
turn the horn and head for San Fran
cisco or Hawaii.
The voyage could be made in two
months, and long before October the
Atlantic fleet would be on the Pacific
coast ready for amy emergency. But

ing no such strategic move The is

commerce, a fact that bears upon the
interests of every household in the

THE MEN WAR WOULD BENEFIT
(From Pearson's Weekly.)

London-The fact is that very few
of us have any idea of the number of
people who would benefit by war Of
these the makers of guns and the
manufacturers of armor plate are by
no means the only ones
Take horse dealers, for instance.
During the Boer War we sent 100000
horses to the Cape. Their prices were
from $105 a head, paid for Argentine
crooks to $500 for sound British and
! Austrian horses. Put them at 5000 a
head, here was $40,00O,000 divided
among horse dealers and breeders.
And as for the forage bill, we'll that
was more that twice as much and
the money all went into the pockets of
farmers here and elsewhere.
Farming in England was in a shock
ing state at the end the last century.
The Boer War sent up the price Of
wheat and British farmers have never
since looked back. So it is small won
der that the farmer thinks that war is
no bad thing, especially as at suc1
times the demand for fresh meat is at
least equal to that for horses and
grain.
Another business that booms in war
time is that, of the bootmaker. If you
want proof, look back at the dividends
paid by some of the big bootmaking
concerns in the Midland during the
Boer War
Soldiers must have boots and plenty
of them. A pair that lasts six months
in peace time are done for in six weeks
of war
Manufacturers of clothing benefit IN
like fashion, and so do many others.
Think what a boom the next war will
cause in the aeroplane factories, ami
in the places where they make all
sorts of electrical apparatus such as
field cables, wireless machinery,
St archlights, and the like.
4 Holders of Southwestern Railway
shares made money during our last big
war. Tens of thousands of troops and
mountains of stores were pouring
down that line to Southampton for
more than two years. All the tran
port trades get a tremendous fillup
from war.
Shipping companies charter their
vessels for the transport of troops,
sure that if anything happens to their
craft they will be well recompensed,
and their prosperity extends to sea-
men. st0rkers, marine engineers, as
well as stevdores and dock laborers.
There will be no ships laid up in war
time unless, indeed. our navy is de-
feated and hostile cruisers swarm
around our shores to prey upon our
commerce.
Another huge industry which bene-
fits by war is that of the coal-getter
Warships and transports alike are alb
solutely dependent on coal, ami the
big colliery owners can raise their
prices all round, and be certain of fat
government contracts.
War hurts some things. for instance,
as the sale of champagne and pate dc
foie gras, and it reduces the profits of
theatres and football clubs. Yet, as
We have shown, there is very large
minority who actually look forward to
European scrap on large scale.
