OUR ROADS. A SUGGESTION.

The Quitman Free Press al
nouhees that an expert road engineer
from Washington will be in Brooks
county this week to superintend the
construction of a mile of model pub
lie highway and show just how the
work can be done to the best adj
vantsge and in the most economical
manner. This professional road
builder will be sent by the Director
of Public Roads at Washington, an
office that was created by the nation
al government to give practical and
scientific instruction in road work,
and his services will be without cost
to Brooks county.
The commissioners OF Terrell
county might no doubt do well to
take up the matter and secure an eX-
pert to construct for them a mile Of
model highway. 1t would give them
ideas that would prove of value in
making their road work permanent
and economical,
And while on the subject of roads
The News would suggest that the
people crticise and complain at the
commissioners less and take more in
terest in a personal way in impro7-
ing the roads. BY cooperating with
the commissioners a better spirit
would prevail and much more could
be accomplished by the men who
have been entrusted with this import
ant and responsible work. That they
are conscientiously discharging their
duty and doing the best they can
for all sections of the county The
News has no doubt

IMPORTING LUXURIEs.

The high cost of living, which is
keeping the average man everlast-
ingly in a struggle, does not seem to
affect the import of Injuries from
other countries. The bureau of for
eign and domestic commerce of the
Department of Commerce and Labor
estimates that luXuries are coming
into this country at the rate of ST.
100000 a day, and if that ratio holds
good it is estimated that imports OF
luxuries will aggregate s250,OOO,-
600 for the calendar year.
Imports of luxuries into the Unit
ed States during the month of Octo-
Der were probably the highest on
record. The importations Of art
alone during that month amounted
to approximately $14,OOO.00O as
compared with s4,5OO,0OO during
October of the previous year. To
bacco, cigars, diamonds and othel
precious stones, 1aces and embroid
cries, feathers, decorated china, toys
champagne, cordials and other ar
ticles of that class, all were shipped
into this country in large quantities

CREDIT AND PARASITES.
rom the Hartford Times

From the Hartford Times.
There is one feature of our credit
system that adds materially to the
cost of living which might be remov-
ed. The ninety-seYen persons in one
hundred who pay their monthly bills
! promptly carry three who systemati-
| cally defer or avoid their debts.
/ There is a small class who live by
| their wits in an expensive style be-
| cause they have nothing but their
/ wits to live on They impose by an
| appearance of wealth, and if denied
credit in one store go to another. I'M
til their career is ended. But, accord
ing to the report of a New York gro
Ger who caters to high class trade, ;"
equal trouble is caused by few very
rich people, especially women, who
I have the idea that to pay no atten-
ton to tradesmen's bills adds to their
importance by showing that they are
superior to the common run-that it
is unnecessary to regard the rights
of others. Should they be threatened
with legal proceedings they pay, and
do all they can to iniure the business
of their creditor. AS their social in
fiuence is considerable their resent
ment is feared. The grocer in ques-
ton states that he is carrying large
sums on his books which he never
expects to be paid till death COM
pels the settlement of the estate. An
other merchant, dealer in mems fur
nishing goods, says that when a
certain young man, in receipt of an
income of over 100000, comes into
his store he waits on him personally
and adds from so per cent to 100
per cent to the price of everything
ordered. In this way he expects to
come out about even, and takes the
chances of his customer going into
bankruptcy.
Both of these classes, the dead
beats" and the arrogant rich, add
materially to the middleman's ex-
pense, which much be made up by
those who meet their bills promptly.
1t seems strange that anyone should
be willing to eat or wear what be-
longs to another, but human nature
is mixed compound and embraces all
sorts of specimens. 1t would seem as
if a discount for cash to prompt pay
ers might cure this evil, combined
with enforcement of interest on de-
ferred payments. but the credit sys-
tenn is so convenient to both parties
and competition for custom is so in
tense that it is doubtful if any such
plan would be generally adopted, and
merchants must go on charging their
prompt payers extra prices to make
up their bad and deferred debts. The
old rule, pay as you go, and if you
can't pay don't 60" is the honest
rule of life, and it would be better
for all of us if it were universal. To
withhold the money for just debt
when you have it merely to show that
you are superior to dun is as bad as
to obtain goods under false pre-
lenses

Is NOT NEEDED.

The News has never been able to
agree to the application of the re
call" to the judiciary, either state
or federal, and the outcome of the re-
cent proceedings at the national capt.
tai, the action of the United States
senate in taking Judge Robert Arch
bold off the bench, confirms the con-
viction that society does not need
the recall as protection against cor
rupt or incompetent judges. The fed
eral statutes provide the means for
dealing with judges holding commits
sions from the United States, and in
all the states the law provides ade-
quate means for impeachment and
removal of judges. 1t is wise to rest
content with the situation as it ex-
lists. Corrupt judges are not the
rule. They are rare, so rare that it
is not wise to consider the recall as
a means of dealing with them.

INCIDENCE AFTER FORTY,

From the Savannah Press.
Physical Incidence, forced or aC-
quired, and the high nervous press
ure due to modern conditions of liv-
ing cause too many deaths of Amer
leans of 40 or over, according to the
conservation commissioner of a life
insurance company. Since 1880, ac-
eording to this authority, deaths of
those between 40 and so have in
creased 80 per cent, deaths of those
between so and 60 have increased
1873 per cent, while deaths of those
between 20 and 80 have increased
SO per cent, 'and so per cent of this
1873 per cent is preventabie."
That we are getting too large
around the waist after 40" is one of
the conclusions The early Ameri-
can pioneers hewed fence rails and
logs for houses and were hardy. Now
this work is done by machinery; the
average man takes little exercise and
6as become a machine tender. Too
many neUple ride in automobiles,
which roBss them of all chance of

A MARTYR FOR HUMANITY.

With the thousands who are dying
every day about us it is not to be
wondered at if the death of an indi-
vidual in far-away Hawaii should
have passed with but little notice
And yet the death of Brother Joseph,
successor of Father Damien as head
of the leper colony al MolOkai. is
more deserving of tribute than the
passing of many whom men esteem
great The world reveres today the
memory of the sainted Damien, of
whom Robert Louis Stevenson said
when calumy was busy with the good
as Damien did is my father, and the
father of all who love goodness"
Brother Joseph, as the successor
of Father Damien, equally deserves
that tribute. Voluntarily he left a
world which had much to offer him
social prestige, business success,
the smiles of women and the ap-
plause of men-to immediate himself
upon the altar of God and humanity
A brilliant soldier in the civil war
and later an adjuster of claims for
,hc war department Ira Barnes Dut-
ton, a New Englander by birth and
member of the Methodist Episcopal
church by profession, suddenly join
ed the Catholic church and entered
the Trappist monastery at Gethsem-
ane-the home of unbroken silence.
There he assumed the name of
Brother Joseph.
When Father Damien was bending
beneath the load of labor he assum-
ed at Molakai, and his once healthy
form was being devoured by the lep-
ROSY he had contracted, Brother JOS
eph volunteered his services and sail
cd for the lazaretto, well understand
ing that it was to be his tomb both
in life and death After Father Da-
mien's gentle spirit passed away
Brother Joseph took up the burden
Of the management in this charneI
bouse of sure-footed decay remain
ing at his post matching death with
love. until for him, too, the light OF
another world revealed itself.
Great is the power of the love OF
God and man in the human heart
which can inspire such devotion and
self-sacrifice, and greater still the
glorious benediction which such lives
as Father Damien's and Brother Jos
eph's shed over the world.
