LAND RESTORED TO
THE PUBLIC DOMAIN
LARGE AREAS HAVE BEEN RE-
GENTLY REOPENED FOR
ENTRY.

Three quarters OF Il million acres of
public lands were restored TO entry
last month. These reservations were
based upon recommendations made
by the United State geological survey
as "a result of its classification work
In the Western States. The only area
withdrawn was one OF 235 acres in
entry because of its possibilities for
developing water power. The largest
restoration wss In Montana where
525.747 acres were restored to public
entry as the result of coal classical
tons completed. In addition to this.
reservations Of coal land involving
2Ii,742 acres were made In Colo
RADIO. New Mexico. North Dakota.
Utah. and Wyoming. In California,
Idaho. oregon. and Washington. 1894
acres heretofore reserved for water
power were restored, examination
having indicated that they are not
valuable for the purpose for which
they were withdrawn.
About $500. 600 acres of land have
now been classified as to their coal
content. 6l.4S4.032 acres have been
classified as noneoal land, and less
than 20,000.0oo acres have been clas-
sified as coal land and values of over
$3.50. 900, 900 placed upon them in ac-
cordance with the provisions of the
coal-land law and the department
regulations. The remainder has been
restored without classification
The survey has also classified as
nonirrigable and designated for entry
under the enlarged homestead acts
more than 100000 900 acres OF lands
in those Western States to which the
320-aere homestead principle has been
extended by congress.

There is an adequate law pro-
viding for the proper equipment
of elevators so thatpersons using
them will not be in danger of
their lives. There are inspectors
paid with the peoples money to
see that that law is carried out.
And these inspectors turn in
reports which say nothing of con-
ditions in an elevator which later
lead to fatal accident.
Perhaps some explanation of
this state of affairs could be
found in the kind of inspecting

growth of vegetation. compared
with heat, artificial or natural ?"
This question opens up a rare
field for discussion.
Both heat and light are re-
quired for plant development.
Which has the greater force is
difficult to decide, but a plant
would live longer in total dark
ness without heat than in cold
absolute, but in light.
The problem of white light
shining on plants is a very ancient
one; but the dispersion of white,

then allowed successfully to fall

they are perhaps moro nearly re-

that it is not fully located.

WRITTEN FOR THE GEORGIAN
By REV. DIR. JOHN E. WHITE
Pastor Second Baptist Church

If it is a fundamental right
eousness that human beings
should submit to the regulation
of sex relations, then it is spirit
ual outlawry. a flaunt at the face
of Heaven, for men to excuse
themselves and go excused in So
ciety.
1t should not be considered
strange If the protests for a
square deal goes further than it
ought to go.
The Peril of "Everywoman. -
Already there are indications
that the female protest against
the freedom of men to fiout virtue
is manifesting perilous tenden-
cies.
One has but to mark the ven
turesome fashions in womans
dress, the tendency of defiant i'm
modesty, the inclination to mas
culine vices. the neurotic dances.
in which women assert their
holiness. to become painfully
aware that some new spirit Of
abandon is at work among
women.
1t is to be condemned and re-
sisted. Very well, but go a little
further and interpret it.
With the female consciousness
aroused to the point of new and
justifiable self-assertion, tn Q
double standard in morals is
direct provocation of immodesty
among women.
Men have been their leaders
and their masters in the era of
their subsection, and now that is
ending, they are tempted to fol-
low men in the exploitation of
their freedom and to defy con-
ventions and restraint of moral
prohibitions.
This Interpretation of the mani
ifestly immodest tendencies of the
day may shock some minds, but
= it will stand fair in others in
the absence of a better.
Calling Men to Task.
1t should at least indicate that
men must know human nature
we'll enough to understand that
double standard in morals is a
rotten basis for healthy society.
If women will have equality Of
the sexes before moral and So
cial law 1t will come in one of two
ways-by the lowering Of the fe-
male standard to the present level
OF the male standard, or by rails
ing the male standard to the level
OF the present female standard.
In one case or the other the
woman movement will inevitably
call men to task.
