THE PEACE OF THE NATIONS.

NUR people ought TO try to get
IOagreements with other nations to
do the things that are right. But
do not believe that this nation ought
to wait for any other nation to agree
to do what is right. 1t ought itself
to do what Is right II this nation
announced to the world that 1t would
not spend its money getting ready for
wars that ought never to come, that
It had faith in the good intent of other
people, and 1t expected other people
to have faith in its good intent, do
you think our nation would suffer for
that? The building Of these great
battleships, these preparations by
Christian nations to fight one another,
is a challenge to the Christian civili-
zation OF the world. ! believe that
this nation could stand before the
world today and tell the world that
n did not believe in war, that 1t did
not believe that 1t was the right way
to settle disputes, that it had no dis
putes that It was not willing to sub
NIT to the Judgment of the world. If
this nation did that, it not only would
not be attacked by any other nation
on the earth, but It would become the
supreme power in the world.-Wil-
liam Jennings Bryan.

Unfortunately, the leaders saw fit to
create a machine, a regular road roller
and still more unfortunately there
were none in either house of that dirty
class Of politicians that make success
full manipulators of a machine, and so
for lack Of guidance, the roller went
at times pretty wide of the track and
ran over some Of its own folks before
it could be steerod straight. And be-
sides lacking leadership, it was an
lily constructed machine besides
When the round up is made, it will be
found though that the legislators
builded better than they knew and
probably much better than the people
now believe.

1T IS UP TO THE LEGISLATURE,
THD members of the present legis-

THD members of the present legis-
lature, or, at least, the manipula-
tors of the steam roller, have been
delving into ancient history, and have
made tn estartling discovery that the
made the startling discovery that the
really intended that the Legislature
should have the right to act upon any
veto made by the governor at the
same session of the legislature in
which the vetoed bill was passed. That
is the reason they give for adjourn
ing over until next Tuesday, so they
could act upon any bills vetoed by the
governor, and so carry out the real
simon-pure intention Of the makers
OF the constitution. How they reached
this sapient conclusion is one OF those
things beyond all discovery The con-
stltution fixed the Legislative session
at 40 days, and 1t gave the governor
five days in which to sign or veto
bills received by him. Clearly there
was no intention that the legislature
should adjourn and come back, for II
there had been, that provision would
have been made in the constitution.
The wish was no doubt father to the
thought and the Legislature is clearly
within It's rights to adjourn and come
back, not once, but a dozen times, II
II cares to do so, and pays the bills
itself, but to say that the constitution
intended this is the height Of Stiffness.
A calm and unbiased view OF the
matter would lead to the inference
that those who made the constitution
said what they meant, and meant what
they said. It is fair to presume that
they thought the legislature could
meet, transact all its important busi-
ness, pass upon appropriation bills
and all that kind of matter Of general
interest, and get 1t out Of the way
and up to the governor in 80 days.
This would give the legislature five
days in which to clear its decks and
take care Of smaller and incidental
matters while waiting for the governor
to act upon matters Of general i'm
portance. The legislature under the
constitution has the power to pass
upon any and all the governors We
toes before adiourning. All 1t has to
do is to get them into the governors
hands, say six days before the end Of
the session, and this it can easily do

TOO EARLY TO CRITICIZE.

AAIHILE criticism Of the legislature
wv has been as usual pretty gcner-
AL and also as usual pretty
harsh It might be well to postpone
any further remarks concerning 1t un"
til IL meets again-lf It does, and then
adjourns, That II has done some real
" excellent work we believe the rec
ord will disclose when the laws passed
are printed and understood, and that
II ras done some equally good work In
sending hundreds of bills to the waste
basket Is undoubtedly also true,
though this will not be in evidence be-
cause the measures that If passed,
would have proved exceedingly VIC

their passage, A school boy defined

Several other minor changes in
the code are contemplated by this
bill, to the end that the same will be
simplified and made more definite and
effective 1t makes definite the power
of the assessor to assess water pow
ers and other rights and privileges
connected with the land.
This bill has been carefully pre-
pared; it embodies the practically
unanimous recommendation Of state
and local officials whose duties per-
tain to the assessment of property and
the collection of taxes"
Asked what changes would be
brought about by the amendment Of
the law relating to commissioners,
Mr.. Galloway said:
"This bill provides for a general
revision Of the law relating to the
board of state commissioners. 1t
changes the name Of that body to the
state tax commission. 1t does not
provide for any increase of salaries
nor carry any appropriation.
Taxes Power Rights.
"This bill provides for a fair
equitable distribution of values Of
water powers to the counties in which
the same are situated, and also pro-
vides fully for the assessment and tax
alton of such property
"This bill lalso provides for afairer
distribution Of the values Of public
service companies to the counties and
taxing districts in which the same
are situated than is permitted under
the present law
One Of the most important features
OF this measure is that it provides for
practically an equal amount of state
taxes of any biennium to be levied
and collected In each year thereof.
This is a very important bill. It
harmonizes with house bill Ala, and
the two, taken together, provide many
remedies and corrections for the tax
system OF the state"

CAUSED
BY BOIL WEEVIL
IS SUBSIDING
Farmers Are Learning How to
Cope With Destructive Pest,
Says Demonstration Agent,

SAVANNAH, Sept 2O.-That the
Georgia farmer must begin now his
preparations for combating the boil
weevil is the message which Profess
sor j. Walter Hendricks, district dem
onstration. agent for the State De
partment Of Agriculture, brings from
Mississippi, Louisiana and Alabama,
where he has been with other agri-
cultural experts studying the ravages
of the weevil
The first thing that impressed me
with the cotton fields Of Louisiana
and Mississippi said Professor Hen
bricks, was that there were nowhere
any blooms to be seen. At this time
the weeviIs had already destroyed al
the cotton squares, so that no more
blooming was possible. 1t is almost
impossible to have a top crop under
weevil conditions.
IF the farmer is alert, follows the
best cultural methods and picks the
weevil carefully, as well as the young
squares in which the eggs are laid, he
can. by planting early always get a
bottom crop. and at least a part Of the
middle crop, but none OF the top CROP
If he is careless and Indifferent and
will not follow the best agricultural
methods, pick weevils and punCturad
SQUARES. he seldom gathers any cotton
at all
Another thing that impressed me
is the zririt 81 nope and determine
zion I'm the weevil territory that has
been infested for several years In
other words, the farmers have found
how TO make a profitable yield of cot
ton under wesvil conditions, and the
panic caused Ev the coming Of the
weeHl is over. This is true in Louisi-
ana and Texas. but not so in Mtsss-
sippi and Alabama. In Mississippi
the recovery from the panicky condi-
tions attendant upon the weevils al
vent have not disappeared, though
some of the farmers are getting IN
their feet in the matter Of growing, or
else have turned to other crops. In
Alabama the panic is just beginning
to be felt since that state is not yet
more than One-half infested. perhaps
Someone may ask what will be the
effect of the boil weevil upon the
Georgia farmer. Ii will most Ger
tainly force a higher and better class
of farming or else cause the farmer
to discontinue his occupation. 1t will
be impossible, in my opinion, for all
the Georgia farmers to leave of
growing cotton and depend upon 9TH
er crops Therefore, IL will be nee
essary for them to learn now how 10
grow cotton under Weevil conditions
This ] believe great many farmers
will do even at the beginning, and
when they have done SO others will
follow their example.

Invite
Southern Governors
President of Georgia League One of Those to
Sign Appeal to Executives

Southern women look to Southern
men to give them the ballot" said
Mrs. Mary L. McLendon, president of

ton. yesterday.
we would rather be granted suf-

But of course, we want the ballot
ana failing its grant by the State, We

plan of action for the adoption Of
woman suffrage in the South.
We are united in the belief that
suffrage is a State right and that the
power to define a States electorate

that woman suffrage is no longer a

F FAMILY EXTINCT,
TITLE To BURIAL
PLOT |SIN DOUBT.
TOmbstones So Old Inscriptions
Are Efaced-0wnership Puz-
zIeS Savannah Officials.

SAVANNAH, Sept. 20.-On the
eastern side of the city in the subdi-
vision known as Hawthorne Park,
there is an abandoned cemetery
wherein the members of an old Sa-
Vannah family are buried. Four
tombstones. the inscriptions on which
are barely distinct enough to be read,
are atill there to identify the plot as
a burying ground. So far as is known
the family whose members are buried
there is extinct. The question as to
who is the rightful owner of the prop
erty has been raised.
The existence of the old cemetery
was brought to light when n p, Nils
son, who owns the adjoining property.
applied at the city hall for permission
to clear away the weeds and grass
the signs Of many years Of neglect.
Because Nilsson could not say who
the property belonged to he did not
get the coveted permission.
Nilsson bought the property a few
months ago from the Hawthorne I'm
provement Company. Hawthorne
Park was a tract belonging to Pound
er The Hawthorne Improvement
Company was organized TO take the
property over and subdivide 1t. Prac-
tiCally all Of the property has been
one Of the three lots which Nilsson
wanted to buy was the one on which
the abandoned cemetery was located
The agents of the company explained
that they could not sell him this lot
as their deed only gave them the Gus
tody of it, But they agreed to deed
to him their rights in the cemetery
property on condition that he would
buy the other two lots. This propO-
sition was accepted.
The tract of land now known as
Hawthorne Park was sold by John
Bilbo to Dennis Reardon in 1885. In
this sale Bilbo reserved the right for
the members of his family to use the
plot. 80 by IS feet, as a burying
ground. Reardon subsequently sold
the tract to Founder with that under
standing The Hawthorne Improve
ment Company agreed to the same
conditions. And Nilsson. the last
purchaser, is bound by the same
agreement. But the question is. must
Nilsson allow the property to remain
as burying ground II all the mem
bers OF the Bilbo family are dead2
