COMING OF THE BOIL WEEVIL.
From the Savannah News.

From the Savannah News.
For a number of years the news
papers of the state have been warning
the people to prepare for the coming
of the boil weevil. Very few of
them have needed the warning. How
large a per cent have studied the boil
weevil problem and have made prep
arations for the coming of the pest
will soon become apparent.
State Entomologist Worsham says
that the weevil will make it's appear
ance in the southwestern counties of
the state this year, the counties along
the Chattahoochee and Flint rivers.
He expects that a very considerable
part OF this years cotton crop in
these counties will be destroyed.
If there are farmers of those coun-
ties who have not made preparations
for the coming of the weevil it is
their own fault They have been told
often enough that they couldn't es-
cape it and they have been informed
of the best methods of fighting it.
There is no room for doubt that
the weevTT viii spread over the en-
tire state, in fact, over the entire
South Atlantic Cotton section. AS
to whether it will prove as great an
enemy to cotton in this part of the
cotton belt as it has to the Texas
and Mississippi sections only expert
ence can decide The impression is
that in the sections where the eli
mate is damp and where there is
plenty Of rain the weevil will thrive.
1t is a source of satisfaction that
the attention of farmers in the last
few years has been directed so
strongly to other crops, so hat if the
weeviT brings disaster to the cotton
| crop-that is, if it is more destruct-
i've in this state than it has been in
other states-the farmers can all the
more readily devote their lands to
other crops. The fact shouldn't be
overlooked, however, that cotton is
being raised successfully in Texas,
Louisiana, Alabama and Mississippi,
Notwithstanding the weevil. The
same thing can be done in this state,
but only by adopting the methods
that have been found to be in a meas
ure successful in fighting the weevil
in those states.

That Libel Suit.

The spectacle of former president
of the United States prosecuting for
libel the comparatively unknown
publisher of an inconsequential Mich
igan newspaper is not a pleasing one,
in that it tends to lower the dignity
of the man and the exalted position
which he filled for several years. Mr..
Roosevelt's reputation should be too
well established to be affected one
way or the other by chargs of drunk
enness or by any outcome which his
suit for libel may have. His appeal
to the courts for a certificate of char
a"ter would be ludierous, if that
were all.
But there is great potential good
in RooseYelt's suit If through it a
certain class of newspapers may be
taught a lesson in decency and re-
spect for truth a needed reform will
be instituted. The greatest offenders
are metropolitan undertaking news
papers that degenerate into the per-
sonaI organ of some politician. For
political purposes these newspapers
do not hesitate by inuendo, and even
by direct statement, to villify and
misrepresent men to whom they hap
pen to be opposed, to the end that
their unfortunate readers are de-
ceived and their victims cruelty and
irretrievably injured in reputation.
Freedom of the press is a blessing
without which this age of liberty
could hardly hope to survive, and nc
man can justly claim exemption from
honest criticism of his public acts
when he aspires to public life, bu
that he should be helplessly subjec
to false statements and lying attacks
should not be permitted even in thu
name of free press.

ENFORCE THE vAGRANT LAWS.
From the Macon Telegrapn.

From the Macon Telegraph.
In the former days of the republic.
when there were numbers of semi
barbarous slaves. many of them not
generation removed from the Afri-
can Jungle, visits at night between
plantations by them we're forbidden
except when they carried passes or
permits from their masters. In order
to enforce this rule. which was a
good one, volunteer patrols rode the
highways and beat the hedges for I'M
authorized strollers. If caught with
out a pass flogging was imposed.
and the deserter from the negro
quarter was sent back to his home
and master.
A legalized patrol, or mounted ru-
raj police, authorized to apprehend
loafers and tramps of whatever col
or who cannot give a satisfactory ac-
count of themselves. would be good
thing in Georgia
We have been advocating this sub
ject for ten or twelve years.
The particular bane of our South
ern rural life is the ever presence on
the highways and about the unpro-
tected places land in our cities and
towns as welD of the strolling, loaf
ing. menacing vagabond, who neither
tolls, spins nor possesses a virtue.
He is the human tiger that threatens
and assaults. when opportunity Of
fers, the pearls of human life, the
very jewels of our homes. The prob
lem of our Southern life is to tear
out his fangs and his claws; we can
not change his spots, which latter, in
the Bible Interpretation, means that
we cannot correct his perverted ma
ture. Appeals to him for reforma-
ton are like preaching sermons to an
African leopard from the text thou
shalt not kill" But he will not kill
if he is chained to stake or shot
through the head.
We struggle with the smaller
things of the law and heed lightly the
weightier matters.
The murder and cremation of Mrs.
Stevens and her young daughter, in
DeKalb county, perhaps to conceal a
more terrible crime, is a renewed
to the manhood of Georgia.
The only method of prevention in
sight is to stress and enforce the va
grant laws.

WILL THE SENATORS MONKEY?
from the Washington Star.

From the Washington Star.
There is a rumor of monkeying
with the tariff. AS the story goes.
the senate, is to put duty on wool,
ana on sugar without the three-year
limit, and then recede from the act
ion in conference. In that way, it is
stated, Southern and Western sena-
tors whose constituents are interest
ed in those commodities will save
their faces at home. Is not this an
indictment of the intelligence of the
Southern and Western people? Could
they be misled for a moment by so
transparent maneuver. Would not
senators engaging in it, instead of
saving their faces, lose them forever?
A constituency unable to see through
such a thing would be unable to see
through the hole in a cruIIer.

Taxing the Dead.

We are constantly hearing COM
plants about the high cost of living.
The pessimist, who is always with us,
cries out that we are taxed from the
cradle to the grave, but the worst, it
seems, is yet to come. The Pennsyl-
vania Anatomical Board, which has
charge of the cheerful and pleasant
task of distributing the bodies
of the unclaimed dead TO various
medical schools, has complained to
the railroad commission of that state
that the express companies are about
to double the rate for carrying this
class of freight.
This really seems like going the
limit. The only explanation Of it is
that the express companies being IN
able to practice altogether as much
extortion as they once did on the liv-
Ing propose to take it out on the

The Underwood tariff bill is not
pulling the wool over the eyes OF
the republicans, but it is pulling the
wool from the eyes of the masses,
and making it very plain to the
hitherto blinded victims that class
legislation has for these many years
made the poor poorer and the rich
richer. Things are Obliged to get
better, and the election of United

SwindIing the Public.

Another way to swindle the public
has been devised.
In bulletin issued by the depart
ment of agriculture the statement is
made that not less than 100000
pounds OF glucose and EPSON salts
are in the sole leather of shoes that
Americans are wearing. The aIul-
terants are said to add nothing to
the durability of the leather. and
where present in considerable guam
titles may shorten it's life" The
leather is said to be LOADED" to in
crease its weight, which OF course in
creases its cost. The shoe buying

Cannot Control Prices.

The United States supreme court
has handed down a decision which
will have a widespread and to the
consumer a beneficial effect upon the
prices of patented articles. The court
declares that controllers of patents
cannot fix the prices at which articles
involving such patents may be sold.
Once the dealer has made a purchase
he is at liberty to fix the price to suit
himself. The manufacturer of pat
ent medicine, for example, may
charge what he will, say IS dozen
for his goods, but he cannot compel
the retailer to charge 81 per bottle.
The latter may sell at cost, or at a
loss if he so desires.
The effect of the decision will be
to reduce the prices of such articles
materially.
The decision recalls the fight that
was made on a drug firm in Dawson
some years ago and an attempted
boycott of The News by the manu-
facturers of proprietary medicines
and local druggists for carrying the
advertisements of the cut price firm.

The Empty Cradle

Every woman who takes a high
salary as a substitute for a bevy OF
babies is numbering posterity. The
strong, healthy, big-grained BARNS
who might be born are sacrificed for
Paris dresses and automobiles, writes
Mrs. John Martin of New York.
The cradle is empty that restau-
rants may be filed, the home desert
ed that luxurious girl apartments
may be crowded. A high salary for
men means an early marriage, fine
families and domestic morality.
High salary for women means de-
ferred marriage, women politics,
empty homes and race suicide. The
future should lie in women's laps.
So long as the women are in the
counting house, factory and polling
booth the laps are empty and the fu-
ture in danger.
Without eugenics the nation will
one day, like the Titanic, go to the
bottom We may fatter ourselves
that the biggest. latest, richest.
grandest nation afloat cannot sink,
but it can.
We are living in an age which at
taches inordinate Importance to the
improvement of conditions. A host
of persons spend their lives racking
their brains to think of new things
and more things to do; new advant-
ages to provide; new improvements
to make.
Meanwhile, nobody seems to be
asking, except handful of eugenists,
why it is that conditions need such
a frightful lot of improving and why
it is they never stay improved.
