allaCies of Free Ships
BY JOHN TEMPLE GRAVES.

work for less than 'the American
wages on an American ship, to
wit; S25 to $50 a month on deck
and $40 to S45 in the FIRE room,
and owners of American vessels
can not employ labor for less
than the American wages"
The pay roll of an American
ship is about double that Of any
foreign ship. Perhaps, ~ the
trade treaties that allow the same
rates OF duty to imports in for
eign vessels that imports III

confined to imports in American
vessels, this preference may IN
duce our railroad men, or otnef
Americans, to invest in American
ships; that is TO say, in foreign
built, American registered ships.

n n eminent transcontinentaI
~ railroad man was quoted
the other day as saying that
"our shipping laws are absolutely
wrong and our merchant marine
can best be built up when owners
are allowed to buy their ships
and labor in any part Of the
world"
Any American citizen may buy
a foreign built vessel, If not over
five years old, and put her rndsr
American registry. The ouiy
AMERICAN labor that our laws
compel him to employ is the IL
censed-the master, mates and
engineers; all others may be for
eigners. Although in force four
teen months, this law has not
brought vessel under our regis
try.
The reason is it costs more to
run ship under the American
flag than under a foreign flag,
and there are no compromising
advantages under the American
flag. Men viii cheerfully work,
for example, for $15 a month on
the deck of Norwegian ship, or
for $3.50 in the fire room. But
those same men would refuse to

If You Reflect You Viii.
Feel Your Mind Is
a Prison.
a Prison,

The mind rebels against the
limitations of physical nature,
and frets over the incapacities OF
its instrument, the brain. II you
stop to reflect a moment you will
feel that your mind is not only in
a prison, but is shackled there. Or,
to put it another way, you feel that
your mind possesses powers which
are both too fine and too great for
the coarse, fabby cells of your
brain. 1t is something like vapor
of infinite elasticity and infinite
fineness Of constitution which
passes through the walls of a cylin-
der without effectively driving the
piston. In short, the brain, al
though it may be the most nearly
perfect of our bodily organs, is far
too coarse and too weak for the
power that drives it.
When Newton wished to make
his brain represent what his mind
instinctively told him Of the laws
of the universe he had to invent a
calculus whose slow, laborious
steps impressed upon the brain
cells gradually led them to results
that they could not attain directly.
Can any one for moment believe
that the cells of Newton's brain
would have produced the "Princi-
pia" if there had been no guiding
force acting through them, apd set
ting them, approximately, in the
right direction? Newton's mind
may have been no better than
yours. but his brain was finer, and
moved to the force behind, instead
of letting it escape like steam out
Of a leaky boiler.
If you wish to see both how your
brain lags behind your mind and
how the powers that it does pos
sess have been given to it by con-
slant training, take any simple
problem in mental arithmetic. You
perceive at once that IL times ~

THE SELECTION OF JURORS
Editor The Georgian !:

Editor The Georgian:
Your editorial OF several days
ago on the Jury system of Geor-
gia, tho letter OF Judge Spencer
r. Atkinson following same. and
the letter Of Judge Benjamin II.
Hill in a recent issue Of The
Georgian are an inspiration that
moves men to a thoughtful con-
sheraton of these subjects.
While the jury system is a sim
pie one, it can in the selection Of
jurors for the box be improved.
The jury commissioners who are
appointed by the judge OF the Su-
perior Court every two years re-
wise the jury box, and If their syS-
tenn in selecting the jurors from
the tax digest was more thorough,
Justice would often be done where
it's failure frequently occurs. The
tax digest is made Up from every
part of the county, and the jury
commissioner should not be linn
tied in their power TO learn OF
and know the personal and bust
ness character of every man Sc
lected for the box. There are
good men in all sections OF the
county and in every neighbor-
hood. and the commissioners with
reasonably unlimited time can in
this way secure Jurors for the
box that will make the individual
and the public safe, This com
mission should act as a court and
be as careful i'm the examination
Of names for jurors as they would
il life, liberty and the rights OF
property were at stake before
them. for il is all OF these things
the jurors may try. and their Sc
lection should be in a sacred man

ner. Such a letter as that one
written by Judge Hill can ena-
nate only from a man who is hon
est and just, who is faithful in
every service and loyal to every
principle OF justice and right
Should I attempt to add anything
TO the letter of Judge Hill and
the authority from which he
quotes, I would say the other
quality for a Judge which I be-
lleve Judge Hill to have is cour-
age-courage to do in the face of
mob violence and bloodthirstv
lawyers the thing that he believes
and knows TO be right. courage
TO protect the innocent from per
iured wretches; courage to direct
the course of justice. A Judge
without such courage is as hurt
full TO the individual or the pub
lie. where the rights of either are
at stake, as that of the dishon-
est judge. The judge without
such courage may be honest. He
may intend TO be honest, vet the
results are the same as those Of
the dishonest judge.
Judge HIS reference to his be-
loved and departed brother brings
TO my mind the noble qualities
possessed by this great and good
man, Charlie Hill in the twenty
and odd years OF his public serv-
ice never pushed a prosecution
into that Of persecution. His
heart and soul were too big to
do the accused an injustice. God
bless Charlie Hill, for I know the
stars shine from his crown in
the other world as a reward for
his honest and noble work in this
world. j. n. BATEMAN.
