John will continue to worry about
how to cure cholera in the hogs,
CHAMBERS in the horse, lack of butter
production in the COWS, washes in
the fields, and the highercostof1iv-
ing, while he will worry not at all
over the fact that he can't afford
to send his sons and daughters to
school because of the high cost of
lot Of f1imsy books; the added cost
of the fees for teaching dumb-bell
and Indian club exercises, and the
outfit needed by the girl to learn
to cook in the Domestic Science
Glass, when her mother will have to
teach her how to boil water and
make pancakes after she "gets
through"
If there has ever been a measure
that brought forth less interest from
the rural districts of Georgia than
the effort at the last Legislative SEES
sion to provide free or cheaper
school books for the children or
Georgia-it may have been that
measure which endeavored to take
a census Of the mosquitoes Of the
marsh bound sections of the State
The Legislators who were really in
earnest, had absolutely no support
in any way from their constituents
while the school book trust had lob
byists on the job from the day of
the first session, till the last.
If ever there was a good excuse
for a son or a daughter to turn
against the parent, it is when that
parent has been too Indifferent and
too obsessed with the mere making
of money to plan for or make any
provision for the future Of that son
and daughter, by giving them al
least the rudiments of an education
This is a measure that is fairly
and squarely up to the people of the
rural districts, and the question
they may ask of themselves is:
Why should l pay more for the
few months tuition in Indifferent
building, with the poorest sort OF
teachers, for my children, than the
mountaineering city resident, pays
for his?
And this is the best of all times
for the Georgian to sit up, take note
and ask for the answer.
What a blessing the Worlds
Series were over before it was time
to lay in the winter coal!
Fancy a New York woman asking
for a divorce from her husband be-
cause he isn't gay enough!
Mr.. Sulzer, late Governor of New
York, can sympathize with the man
who went up against the buzz-saw.
And they do say, quite a number
Of the bankers are still looking for

Justice by any other name would
mean as much sometimes-and it

evnts that pull would do as we'll.
Heavens-to-Betsy; it is predicted
that less food and less clothes for the
women are two of the awful predic-
lions for the coming winter.

are d1sSatlSned--and Justly
so, with the existent conditions of the
public schools.
The charge is made, and nothing
has been offered to refute it, that it
costs more to send some children to
the public schools, than it cost
school-patrons in the old days to
keep a private teacher for a COM
munity. The curriculum has been
SO elaborated, the school-book trust
has so great a strangIe hold on many
Of the States, as to make it doubt
full if the illiteracy percentage will
be lowered in some of the States for
a good many years to come, unless it
will be possible to send to the Legis-
1atures of the States men who are
honest and who have sense enough
to realize that the percentage of il
literacy in any State or section, will
lower values all along the lines Of
every industry in every State and
section so affected.
Canada is one Of the thriftiest
and one of the wealthiest of the
British colonies. Her percentage Of
illiterates is lower, in comparison
than that of any section of the North
American continent, and the reason
is not hard to seek. In the first
place, the public schools are public
in all that the word implies. The
means Of educating the children are
within the grasp of the poorest far
men or worker in the province. The
school books are not handled by a
trust, and the resultant cost to the
patron Of the schools is less than
one-haIf what the average patron of
the public schools, especially of the
South, pay for their books.
This question should be one-if
not the most vital of all the inter
ests which Georgia has to contend
with The banner of illiteracy has
been handed "the Empire State of
the South about as long as she
should care to stand for so dsgrace-
full an honor, and statistics prove be-
You'd a doubt that it is not with the

teracy rests. Rastus and his nav
and paw, as rule, realize fully
that to read and write will remove
him from the necessity of picking
cotton for the white man, or rolling
logs for the mill boss all his days.
will at least give him chance to
become a Pullman porter or some
other equally exalted calling; it is
odd the white man does not realize
that, by paying proper attention to
his representative in the State Legis-
lature, he may remove his child
from the mill settlement and the
cotton field also.
For a good many years before and
since the War, the South has been
the feed-trough out of which more
Yankees have pulled fodder, than
any other section of the country, and
it would seem that the Southern
man and woman of the rural dis
trict rather liked the idea of adding
fat dividends to Yankee trusts own
ing mills, book-concerns and the
like.
In the meanwhile, the public
schools are being elaborated and
distended as to extras" and "neces-
sary fees" until it makes the fund
that used to be put by for Santa
Claus and the winter coal, become
only a memory. There isn't any use
in saying the people will wake up
and make a change, for they haven't

of the sort. Mr.. Jones. Mr.. Smith,

It's very nice to read of all the
heroes which the latest sea-tragedy
brought into the limelight, but a
most pertinent query is: where were

Judging from the assaults being
made in so many sections, on police
men, by burglars, it won't be a bad
idea to capture some Of the burglars,
reform them and make policemen

all. One railroad, the Duluth end OF
the Northern Pacific, will probably be
hit and hit hard because of advantages
held by it's Interstate rivals, but Min
nesota is a big state, the new tariff
is radical departure from old rate
making methods and ideas and it
would be strange if in an upheaval of
this character some one was not hurt
in the overturning. One thing is sure,
the new tariff puts the special favor
game out of business. Distance alone
governs the cost of shipment and any
favOrs granted one community by a
railroad must be extended to other
towns on the same system and enjoy
ing similar distance. OF course the
schedule and the law itself is going to
be attacked in the courts. Such is in
evitable; but I fail to see where the
opponents of the new idea are going
to win. An examination of the new
schedule shows nothing scary about
it. If anything, it looks good. If I
were state official or Interested in
things political I would not speak ill
of the new rates or busy myself with
the opposition. The kickback is en-
tirely too dangerous to monkey with.
