COMPLIMENT TO SECRETARY
BRYAN
Savannah News.)


1t is a popular fallacy that all for
eign diplomats are fond of fine wines.
Some of them are, but not all. DR..
Lauro Muller, who is on his way back
to Brazil after an exceedingly pleas
ant visit to this country, is one who IS
not. But some of those in the Muller
party are, and to be ready for emery
encies the Pullman car which our
Government placed at DR.. Mller's dis
posal was stocked with the choicest
wines. Yet not single bottle of wine
was opened while the party had the
car, a period OF three weeks or more.
AS delicate diplomatic compliment to
the Secretary of State that abstinence
is hard to beat. Diplomacy sometimes
calls for sacrifice. DR.. Muller's parry
did without wine, but they had mign
ty fine time just the same. They wei g
deeply impressed with the United
States, though they didn't visit TT ,
fairest portion of it and although they
didn't see it through rose-colored wine
bottle.

EXTENDING THE PARCEL POST

In view of the fact that Congress for
many years refused to establish !,
parcel post, it is possible that it might
today temporarily cripple the. service
that now exists, and prevent, for a
short space, its extension. Possible,
we say; We do not believe that any
statesman or group of statesmen woul
care to incur the unpopularity such 4
course would involve.
Postmaster General Burleson is am
bilious to make the service better, to
relieve it of vexatious restrictions, to
accommodate it to the wants of mora
residents of these United States. We
assume that the majority of Senators
and Representatives aspire to enroll
themselves among those who support
this admirable program. sSzsm ss'
To those who may be moved to op.
pose it may we say that the motives
which animate their attitude should b.,
set forth with a particularly and de
tail that will render misunderstanding
impossible and suspicion futile?

BATTLING AGAINST CIGARETTES

AS an indication of the sentiment
that is so generally springing up
against cigarettes, and which should
be even more prevalent than it is, the
Georgia legislature has before it for
consideration bill to prohibit the sale
of cigarettes and other tobacco to
minors.
This is an encouraging tendency, for
the need of such legislation is being
pointed out by champions of the bill.
1t is said that under prevailing condi-
lions a ten-year old boy in Atlanta, Or
in any other city in Georgia, can buy
all the cigarettes he wants over the
counter of almost any store that sells
these articles.
1t is further claimed that in behalf
of the bill that il does not condemn to-
bacco in itself but sets forth that an
kind of smoking, cigarette smoking il
particular, is admitted by all autho"-
tiles to be extremely harmful to youn2
boys and to all youthful persons who
have not attained their full mental
and physical development. For this
reason, the bill sets forth, cigarettes
and tobacco should be kept from their
hands.
What can the commonwealth OF
Georgia promise itself unless it shields
the youth of to-day against cigaret~s
one of the most utterly use
less and harmful practices witch car
be inflicted upon any one? Is it not
true that the state is a partner in the
crime of stunning and running the
lives of many youths by it's failure to
keep the deadly cigarette away from
their grasp? These are questions
which members of the Georgia legis-
lature should answer as every righ-
teous father and mother in the state
would have them answered. If they
are answered in this manner, they will
surely be answered right.

THE WIFE WHO WORKS
Chicago Tribune.)

A husband who was spoiled by the
high earnings of his seamstress wife
and took to drink instead of attending
to business provided Judge with the
opportunity for few caustic remarks
about the woman who works after she
is married. Such a woman, the Judge
said, is stirring up trouble for herself
and is wrecking her married life.
AS applied to the case before him
the remarks of the Judge were not
amiss But when he attempted to pass
judgment upon the woman who work
after marriage as class the Judge
was letting his feeling run away with
his reason.
The fact of the matter is that few
women go back to the shop or the fac
tory after they are married unless
they positively have to. Sometimes
the earnings of the husband are in
sufficient. At times it is the unstable
character of the husbands employ
ment that induces the wife to go and
save up few hundred dollars for q
rainy day, or perhaps in order -
enable her husband to get into be-
ter position.
That the woman who works after
marriage is storing up trouble for
herself is true. She loses her health
and often her looks and temper. But
with rare exceptions the wife who
hires out in shop or factory should
be pitied rather than condemned. She
is forced to take her place behind the
machine, bench or confer by circum-
stances over which she has no con-
troll.

mains Enthusiastically true in spite of
the degree to which Colonel MulhaIl
has been discredited.
With the lowering of the tariff wall
and a dependence upon the income ta&
for a portion of the national revenues,
the basic conditions which made FOR
an unhealthy relation between politics
and business, to the detriment of both,
will have been materially changed.

THE NECESSITY FOR EQUAL
IZATI0N

How the Legislature can fail to back
up the Governor in his efforts to pull
the state out of the financial bog into
which it has been forced BY unwise
legislation it is difficult to see. 1t must
be evident to every member of thai
body that the floating debt of the state
must be paid and that enough revenu
must be raised to Keep the states in
situations going.
How do these members who are o9-
posing the equalization of assessments
and the constitutional Amendments
permitting an increase in the tax rate
for the next two years propose to dc
this? If they have no plan ON what
ground can they reasonably oppose
the plan that is proposed?
The other day we published the re-
turns for this year OF county tax
which shows a larger falling off from
the total of those of last year. The ay-
erage of the returns on farm lands IS
less than S. per acre. 1t is stated the
average market value of lands of the
whole county is at least $40 per acre.
1t is fair to assume that returns OF
much of the property, real and person
al, in the towns and villages bears
about the same relation to the average
market value of it as is shown in the
case of farm lands in the foregoing
county.
The truth is that there is no system
of assessment. Property is being re-
turned far below it's market value-tor
below sixty per cent. of its market val
ne. If all property were returned at
sixty per cent. of it's market value the
floating debt of the state could be paid
off in a few years and there would Re
ample means for supporting the state
Institutions
The thing to do therefore is to pro-
vide for fair assessments and for
equalizing assessments. If there is any
other satisfactory way of solving the
financial problem with which the Leg
islature is confronted let us hear what
i. is. In the absence Of any such plan
it is the duty of every member of the
Legislature to support the plan which
calls for fair assessments and for
of assessments.
1t would be interesting to know how
those members who are opposing this
plan and are proposing no other ex-
pect to get the state out of its financial
difficulties. Do they expect that some
body is going to furnish the money
without expectation of being repaid ?
Or is it that they have no idea than to
oppose any plan that will increase N
any degree the tax burden of the tax
payers of their respective counties? II
that is their idea they do not measure
up to their responsibility and are lack
ing in fine appreciation of the honor
of their state.
The time is close at hand when a
big part of the states debt will have
to be refunded, and it cannot be re-
funded on favorable terms if current
revenue isn't meeting current obliga-
tons. 1t must be plain to them, i:
must be plain to everybody that addi-
tional revenue has got to be raised.
With the right kind of tax laws the
money can be raised easily. 1t is for
the Legislature, this Legislature ct
this session to enact such law

A WANING POLITICAL ERA
(Springfield Republican,

(Springfield Republican,
One significance of the Mulhall ex
posture is to put further historic
stamp upon a period of American poi>
itics which, it may be hoped. is now
closing. The main issue in which the
Manufacturers Association, as repre-
scented by Colonel Mulhall, is shown to
have been actively interested was that
of labor legislation. Second to this,
or subsequent to it, was the associa-
tons interest in the tariff, which was
brought to bear in support of COM
mission in the apparent hope that its
creation would delay tariff change.
Incidentally, this disclosure cannot
fail to be handicap upon the efforts
of those who sincerely believe in q
tariff commission, or one sort or an
other The increasing likelihood IS
that. instead of the establishment of
a SEPARATE commission, such work as
il might perform will be one. if at or,
by the Department of Commerce.
While the interest of the Manutac-
turers Association in the tariff is
made by the sequence of events to ap-
pear secondary to its interest in la2or
legislation, the whole affair is none the
less a reminded of the unfortunate eY-
tent to which the American high pro-
tective system, under the domination
of the Republican party following the
civil war inevitably developed a close
and too often secret relation between
business and politics to which mani
fold evils may be traced. Becaus
there were great business advantages
or favors to be joined under the hig,.
protective system, it was primarily as
matter of business, and not of pub
lie service, that the interest of many
able men was enlisted in politics. The
representative figure of that era was
Mark Hanna.
The members of the Manufacturers
Association had no less right to OPP
pose labor legislation by proper meth
DDS than Gompers and his followers
had to urge it, But the evidence OF
what went on behind the scenes in
Maine, where Democrats were kent
from the polls in state of beastly in

the temperance principles of Mr.. LII

sure, of the use of such methods 10
