THE RISE OF MIR. RODDENBERY
From the Savannah News,

From the Savannah News,
The rise to prominence of Repre-
sentative Roddenbery of the Second
Georgia district has been rapid He
has been in congress less: than three
years, and yet he has succeeded in
getting himsef noticed more than
once in the metropolitan newspapers,
and on Tuesday, while presiding over
the committee of the whole, mad
precedent ruling that P'-ecsfatses' 10 In
crease the burden of the property
owners of Washington many millions
of dollars That railing. VIII not OF
course eudear him to the people OF
that city, but what does THAT matter!
They haxen't votes And If 1t IS
precedent that ought to- have been
made tine 100000 900 people in the
other parts of th.aa country will hold
him in remembrance and. stand ready
with their votes 90, move him higher
up in the event that he continues to
make gpOd.
Recently he gatt national attention
by his efforts to- get legislation pre-
venting marriage between negroes
and whites 1t is true that he didn' I
have Inuch SUCCESS, but he said some
things that will start the nation to
thinking, and the legislation that he
advocated may come along some
years hence.
The picture of the commissioner of
pensions, which he presented to the
house, and hence to, the country, the
other day, wasn't altogether crafty
ing to that gentleman and his friends,
and it may have been drawn on rath-
er broad lines, but the speech in
which It appeared directed attention
70 some pension abuses and may be
productive of good results. There IS
no doubt that the pension business
needs oyerhauling by reform con-
gress,' an overnauling which it will
probably get If Mr.. Roddenbery is
given Gftener chance to be heard.
Mr.. Roddenbery shouldn't feel at
all aggrieved if some of the newspa-
pers show a disposition to poke fun
at hfne once in awhile. In his eff
forts to make an impression by doing
unusual things he may occasionally
get outside of conventional lines, but
as long as he shows forcefulness com
bined with common sense he will not
be lacking in support. 1t will be
only when there is a suspicion that
he is getting into the ranks of the
demagogues that he will be in dan
ger of being put in the discard. The
people have no objection to a public
mans activities as long as he rings
true, but if he rings false the fun
making men of the newspapers and
the cartoonists will take him in hand
and prepare him for the rubbish
heap.

$50. 900 FOR EXCHANGE SEAT.

est Price Paid Since 1901.
NEW YORK.-A seat in the stock
exchange has just been sold for 5O,-
900.
This was regarded as wonderful
bargain, as it is the lowest price paid
for a seat since 1901. But it is
causing comment in this city, alto
gether aside from the congratula-
tons which its purchaser may be re-
ceiving upon his initiation into the
charmed body.
Just as the prices of stocks on the
exchange are regarded as a sort of
barometer, indicating the prosperity
of the country, and whether times
are improving or going to the dogs,
Just so the price of change seat is
looked upon as an index of the con-
dition of the stock exchange itself.
Wall street has been so severely
scored of late by congress and other
outsiders that it would be strange if
there was no response in the street
itself and no hints of dependency
among it's habitues.
With the growing likelihood of leg
islation, either state or national, to
regulate the workings of the ex-
change, the volume Of business and

The highest price ever paid for a
seat was either $4,000 or $4,000
a little matter of $4,000 initiation
fee being kept a mystery between
the buyer and seller, and neither has
ever given away the secret.

A CoMMoN-sENsE SUGGESTION


1t is stated that when Hon. John
M. Slaton becomes governor next
summer he will address his most
serious endeavors towards checking
the extravaganza of legislatures and
putting the states finances on a bus
mess basis Indeed, he has already
suggested and will recommend to the
incoming general assembly a plan to
limit the state tax in detail and thus
stop excessive appropriations. OF
the five r.ills which the state is per-
mitted to levy he would have levied
so much for each of the objects to
which the revenue is appropriated
that is, so much for the payment of
the salaries and expenses of state
house officers, so much for the main
+enance of each of the state institu-
tions. so much for pensions and so
much for schools. If this recommen-
dation should be adopted the state
treasurer would not pay appropria-
+ions for which no money had been
collected, and the schools, the pen
sioners and the various state institu-
tions would get only that which mad
been collected for them,
There appears to be good common
sense in Mr.. SIaton's plan, and it
ought to keep appropriations WITHIN
the revenue. The states credit will
euffer unless a halt is called.

CAUSE OF MONEY PANICs.

Mr.. w. H. Berry, former state
treasurer of Pennsylvania, in his tes-
timony before the house committee
on banking and currency recently,
stated what he claimed to be the
cause of money panics. If the cause
he gave is a true one then the coun-
try is on the eve of panic now.
Mr.. Berry said that panics follow
ed an expansion of credit to point
where it was beyond the support of
the available cash reserve. He said
that this condition existed now. 1.-The
credits granted" he told the COM
mittee, have been extended to a
point where the reserves are but 80
per cent of the outstanding obliga-
tions of the banks. Unless these re-
serves are extended in some way a
panic will inevitably follow. That 50
per cent was about the breaking point
in 1907, and panic is now threat
ened. We have too much credit for
the cash in hand and too little credit
for the needs of the country"

else. 1t means that you give up

Valdosta, Ga, Dec. 8.-News was re-
ceived here last night Of the tragic
death of Mills B. Lane, Jr., the son o.
John Lane, and nephew of Mills b.

L. M. Williams, a we'll known turpen
tine operator at Mineola, Williams is
not in Jail here.
Young Lane and young Williams
were the best of friends and were out

Young Williams Is said to havr
