Government Printed Text Books

A bill has been introduced in congress provd ing for the printing by the government printing office of school books for the various states at actual The government printing office, in order to carry out this work, might profitably be relieved of the duty of printing long speeches which are never actually delivered by senators and representa- tives and which nobody reads after they have been printed and making them part of the Congress sional Record The Record itself might be greatly condensed to it's advantage by the elimination of minute accounts of proceedings of no interest, and by cutting out of long colloquies which grow out of nothing and end in nothing. Not only would considerable burden be removed from the govern ment printing office. but the Record itself would be rendered more reasonable and would be widely perused
 An arrangement for printing school textbooks at the cost of printing wholly the expense of the federal government, would be good one Some of the states, Arizona them, have free school
 book systems but the states themselves left at the mercy of the school book trust which is as rapacious as was the days when dealt directly with the parents of school children Indeed, there are reasons why it may become rapacious since it has been given opportunity plunder the public and as rule when public money is concerned it is guarded less carefully than private funds.
 But before we have public textbooks printed we must have copy" for them. That we think, would not be difficult procure. and we also think that it would be easily possible to prepare better material than enters into the privately printed text books, in which difference rather than excellence is the thing sought after. But for the changes in the textbooks the business of printing them would be much less profitable than it is Text books are changed for precisely the same reasons

 The material for the textbooks could be pre- pared by competent federal commission posed of men of standing and of recognized author ity the subjects assigned to them. We would thus have uniform textbooks throughout the try, Or the material for the textbooks be used in each state might be prepared by a commission secured by each state not necessarily composed of residents of the state, but of of acknowledged ability who should be guided by suggestions as the needs of the schools of the states retaining them
 We believe that the text books thus prepared would be superior those privately compiled in the interests of the publishers rather than in the interest of the schools.

SAVANNAH, Jan. 2S.-When the

County Police Reported on Trail
Of Man Against Whom Evil
denCe Is Strong.

New evidence which it is be-
lieved will result soon in a new
arrest in the robbery of the N, G.
& st. Il. passenger train is being
Investigated by the Fulton Coun-
Ity Police and Sheriff Swanson, of
Cobb County.
Officials are reticent concern
ing the new developments in the
case, but it was intimated Wed
nesday morning that if another
suspect is arrested it will mean
the immediate release Of James
Nolan, who was arrested few
minutes after the robbery was
committed and has since been
held on suspicion.
Tuesday afternoon Nolan was held
on bond of $4,000 to await the action
Of the Cobb County Grand Jury, by
Justice b. V. Greer, of Marietta.
Unusual activity on the part of the
county police Wednesday morning in
dnced the belief that the officials havs
learned the name of the new suspect
for whom they are searching, and
that their efforts are now directed
toward locating him
Nolan Is Elated.
Nolan and his counsel. Don K.
Johnston, were elated Wednesday
over the turn the case has taken, and
are confident that Nolan will be
speedily released.
Il don't wish anyone any bad luck"
Nolan said after his preliminary
hearing in Marietta Tuesday. "but l
hope they get the right man. didn't
have anything to do with the holdup
and I'm getting tired of staying in
Jail"
Nolan declared that he regretted
that his attorney had waived pre-
llminary hearing before Justice Greer.
IF we had gone into the case in
Marietta" he said, II would have
been free by this time | had wit
nesses there to prove that | was in
Bolton only few minutes before tho
robbery was committed, and that il
would have been a physical impossi-
bility for me to have got to Winnings
and boarded the train there"
Unable to Make Bond.
Mr.. Johnston stated that he waived
preliminary hearing because he had
como into possession of the new evil
dence upon which the county police
force and Sheriff Swanson's forces are
at work. and II the case had come to
trial he would have been compelled to
disclose the identity of the new sus-
pect, which he says must not be done
until the man is placed under arrest.
Nolan was placed under bonds OF
$4,000 by Justice Greer, although the
attorneys for the railroad asked that
the bond be made $4,000. and Attor-
ney Johnston said 1t should not he
mora than $4,000
Nolan declared that it did not make
any difference how high or how low
the bond was
IT'S all the same to me" he said.
ut Is a million dollars or a hundred
dollars, couldn't make il in either
case"
Unless Nolan is released through
the arrest of a new suspect, he must
remain In Jail for six weeks, when the
Cobb County Superior Court meets.
