NAVAL MEN IN CHARGE

The Atlantic Communication Company
complained to Washington yesterday that
tho French steamship Rochan,besu while
lying at Its North River pier here has
been sending wireless messages 10 tho
French cruisers Condo and Descartes
outside New York Copies Of these alleged
messages were sent with the complaint.
The French line which owns the Ro-
chambeau said that the liner has been
turned over to the French Government
after instructions received last Monday.
The line therefore had nothing to do with
any acts OF the Rochambeau's wireless.
Naval officers and government wireless
operators we're sent TO all wireless sta
lions yesterday in accordance with the
Presidents order for strict neutrality OF
wireless. They will censor all messages
and have orders to hold up all code mes
sdgcs and all orders or instructions to the
Wi-ships OF tn. combdtants.

Blue-Back Speller.

The State of Georgia has pro-
crossed backward, but a good
many people will think that she
has done well and wisely in re-
turning to the dear old things of
long ago. A bill has been pass
ed by the legislature restoring
the old blue back speller to the
public school system of that
state. An amendment provides
that the pictures, stories, philos
ophy of the old book are also to
be restored. 1t is to bethe old.
time Webster's blue. back speller
complete; and in spite of all the
improvements and inventions of
later years, it is not probable
that any book yet written has
proven as serviceable to school
children as the blue back speller
of our forefathers. 1t is not pos.
sible that the book can be copy
righted at this day, or that the
book trust can gobble it up. Any
state may print this book at cost,
and furnish it to the pupils in
the public schools for a few
cents. Come to think ofit, there
never has been valid reason
given why the McGufey books
and Webster's speller were sup.
planted by more modern publ
cations. The book trust is con,
tinually introducing new publ
cations and forcing them upon
the public school system of the
country, thus levying an enor.
nous tax, and one that it is diff.
cult to bear, upon the parents of
the school children. 1t may be
considered old.fashioned to re.
turn to the old ways and meth.
DDS of doing things, but 1T can
not be denied that the scholars
of past days are equal in every
particular to the scholars of the
present day.-News Scimitar.
We are little late in using
the above, but it's good all the
same. We are for the blue. back

The future history Of Tennes.
see is going to pay great and
just tribute to the work of Capt
Il. K. Peck, who is now filing
his second term at State Com
missioner Of Agriculture. Capt.
Peck has proven himself capa.
bic even beyond the knowledge
of the Governor who appointed
him and his work in the depart.
ment has been a revelation to
those who had come to look on
such places in Tennessee as un.
wholesome shops for the collec-
ton of political junk. We can
say, however, that for several
years in that particular depart
ment good work had been done ;
aud if Capt. Peck has broken
any record 1t is due entirely to
his own ability and determine.
ton to make his department a
working, paying adjunct of the
State Government. We'd like
to see what Tennessee could do
in one decade, with plenty Of
funds to push the work and with
full cooperation on the part of
