State of Georgia

Atlanta Ga. January 4.-Re-
cent developments show that the
Louisville and Nashville Railroad
Company is going to fight to a
finish for the privilege of parallel
ing the Western and Atlantic
Railroad, the states property, of
which it is the present lessee.
The L. & N. has undertaken
legal proceedings to force Secre-
tary of the State Cook to grant a
charter to the new road which
would complete the L. & N. lines
from Gainesville to Atlanta.
The chartering of this extension
was prohibited by the last legis-
iature, but attorneys for the l..
& N claim the act passed is I'M
constitutional
Fhe act in question was the re.
suit of Former Governor John M.
Slaton's work in inducing the
promoters of the road to hold the
matter in allegiance until the
regular session of the legislature.
But for that work the secretary
of state would have been CON-
PEELED to grant the charter and
the state would have been with
out recourse. Now the L. & N.
asks that the courts compel the
state to issue the charter never
theless. The proceedings were
brought by Dorsey, Brewster,
Howell & Heyman and King &
Spalding; attorneys for the l.. &
N. The first named firm is that
of Solicitor Hugh Dorsey, spoken
of prominently as a candidate
for governor. The firm has long
represented the Atlanta & West
Point Railroad, subsidiary OF
the Louisville & Nashville. 1t is
said that the present direct re.
presentation of the L. & N. By
MIR. Dorsey's firm will have NJ
influence for or against the
solicitor making the race fol-
governor; for it is represented he
is to have nothing to do with
that part of the firms work, and
will be free to not only assert
but establish an independent
position with regard to releas.

Farm Bookkeeping.

From the Saturday Evening Post.
The department of agriculture puts the
value Of the chic necessarfes of life con-
sumed by an average farm family each
year at a little under $500, but more than
800 worth of these necessaries is contrib-
uted by the farm itself, leaving only STA
worth to be purchased by the farmer.
That suggests one difficulty with the
average farm bookkeeping: It consists OF
only a cash account. A good many farm.
ers can tell. with approximate accuracy,
out during a year. The number that have
even an approximate notion of the value
of articles consumed on the farm is much
smaller. II got so much for my hogs" a
farmer may Cell you: but IL you ask what
III might have got for the feed they con-
stunned he answers: oh. I raised that my
self"
And there are still many more farmers
who nave no clear notion as to how much
cash they received and dtsbursed. They
know only how much they ave left at
the end of the year In farming, as much
as In banking or ra~ilroading, good book
keeping is the foundation of real economy
and efficiency. Stuffing s. worth of corn
into q pigskin and selling 1t for $3.50 is
certainly not profitable.
In mich cows, simply because the own.
ers do not know what each quart Of cream
they sell has actually cost them. A prop
er but very simple ser Of books would
at once which COWS yielded a profit
and which were merely perambulatory
corncribs.
A dollar invested in a blank book and
a pen would be the best investment many
farmers could make.

by its guns, Mr.. Hirst of the Economist
being one of the chief advocates Of the
traditional system. Mr.. Hirst is the
~biographe- of Adam Smith, the great
pioneer Of free trade, and he resents the
apostasy of Manchester and warns Pre-
mier Asquith that a number of his col
leagues are officers of the Free Trade
union. He adds: Protective taxes
would be: First, useless during the
war; second, disastrous after the war;
and third, deeply d~ishonorable to the
liberal ministry which proposed them"
He expresses the hope that England
will not follow the fashion Of the Amer
lean politician in James Russell Low
ellis 'Bigelow Papers,"
II go free trade through thick and thin,
Because it kind o. rouse
The folks to vote-an' keeps us in
Our quiet custom houses"
Aside from the debate of the more
sedate journals, all the others are en-
tering INTO the tariff discussion. One
recalls the Old saying: What Man
chester does today, England does to-
morrow" The Globe discusses Man
chestertum; It's Decline and Fall" The
action of Manchester was. 1t says, "a
staggering blow to the cause Of free
trade" The walls of the free trade cit
adel lave crulnbled. it adds and even
Manchester has turned to a protective
tariff system.
The attitude of the government is
awaited with great interest in view OF
the agitation over the Manchester reso-
lutions. The chancellor of the ex-
chequer, Mr.. McKenna, will have the
final say as to whether an ad valorem
tariff will be put in operation, and the
initial tariff duties he proposed and
CARRIED last fall lead to the belief that
he will adopt more of the same kind.
His lieutenant, Mr.. Montagu, financial
secretary of the treasury. has given
some intimation Of what was likely to
come.
THE topic Of enormous Importance
is the adjustment of our fiscal system
said Mr.. Montagu. Free traders and
tariff reformers all agree that the old
economic relations between different
parts of the globe will be altered by the
war. / may say it is not part of liber-
Elism not to recognize altered condi-
ions and circumstances. and to revise
and perhaps strengthen ourselves in
respect to any new conditions which
may arise"
This is taken as q pretty clear indi-
cation Of the governments position for
tariff revision to meet new conditions
and. with the Manchester agitation,
both the public and the government
seem well on their way toward a new
era in tariff adjustment.

Henry James on France,

She has gardened where the soil of
humanity has been most grateful, and
the aspect, SD to call it, most toward
h sun, and there, at the high and yet
mild and fortunate center, she has
grown the precious, intimate, nourish-
ing, finishing things that she has mex
haustibly scattered abroad. And if we
have all taken them from her, so ex.
pected them from her as our right, to
the point that she would have seemed
positively to fail of a passed pledge to
help US to happiness il she had disap.
pointed US, this has been because OF
her treating us to the impression OF
genius as no other nation since the
Greeks has treated she watching
world, and because Of our feeling that
genius at that intensity is infallible-

How New York Has Grown.

Simeon Strunsky. in Harper's Magazine.
A metropolis grows up in two ways.
At first it expands l~egitimately, adding
turlong to furlong of growth. Then
1t leaps forward and seizes a large area
overnight by act of legislature or parlia-
ment, sweeping into it's net a score Of
villages and settlements. Then it pro-
ceeds to consolidate its position, as
General Joffre might say, by filling up
the intervening spaces. In European
cities they have an inner ring, which is
the old city, and an outer ring, which
nay be anything. New York, Chicago,
Boston, Seattle, have their inner rings
outer rings which came by the get
9ig-quick method. New York sue
:umbed to the promoters fever in 1898.
n that year the city absorbed large
treas Of virgin soil and a chain of in
dependent villages, some of them near
y as old as Manhattan itself. From
he Sound to the Atlantic they stretch
tcross the backbone Of Long Island
md the lower harbor Of Staten Island,
where the local tradition, in spite Of
municipal ferries and promised tunnels,
tas remained at it's strongest.
such frenZied expansion is tho rea-
on why the traveller in the nearer sub
urbs of a great city will often come
cross a city line which is no longer

Four Rules For RIGHT Readino

A hint to readers that will, perhaps
prove far more helpful than five foot
and pigskin libraries, is
contributed by Laura Spencer Portor
to the Woman's Home companion.
Let us take Gibbons practice" she
says. as a valuable first rule, meas
uring u own ideas, our experience.
our knowledge, or, it may be. our ig-
torrance OF the subject Of any given
great book.
And as a second rule. let us find
out from some good reference book or
biography the main facts about the
life Of author we are reading and
something about the times in which
he lived.
CAS- q third rule. let us make notes
on all that we read seriously, notes, I
a az we go. for it is but poor flat
tery to let a friend do all the talking
and to make no comment on what he
a This practice of making notes
Is. ! DC believe, very essential to a
right use Of books. I know there are
those who think it a bad thing to mark
a book; but to have too nice an eye in
this matter is to value paper more than
friendship. Lei us mark especially the
places that give us fresh thought,
stimulus, pleasure; let us mark those
with which we agree and those with
winch we disagree. stating our own
views clearly.
As a fourth rule: Just as soon as
we feel that we know even two or
three great books let US compare them
with each other. Very much as fine
people agree on fundamentals so we
shall find these great authors agree
ing. rs a rule. in essentials. yet all ex-
pressing themselves nov differently.
Moreover, it Is just in these differ
ences of expression that the main dis
tinctions Of style lie. and 1t is in not
ing them carefully that we shall bet
ter appreciate the personality of a
writer. Read Stevenson's discourse,
for instance. on Grabbed Age and
Youth and compare it with Bacon's
compact essay, OF Youth and Age

to appear before one"

Evadina Constitution

From Cedar Rapids DAY Republican.
The Topeka Capital having boosted that
Kansas is now free from debt, the Des
Moines Capital says that lis a privilege
which Iowa has never had because Iowa
has a constitution prohibiting a public
debt" One Des Moines reader sends that
statement to us and asks US to submit to
the Capital what the present capitol i'm
provement bonds are? Are they not a
ferred payments, or antiuuated taxes?
The device. he thinks, is merely techni-
cal and the fact remains that Iowa now
has a debt. although the constitution for
bids the requirement of state debts. ex-
lcept for purposes of defense. We guess
that he is right and that the Des Moines
Capital is boasting of something that Is a
more evasion, a change of names. Call
ing a horse by another name does NOT
change the nature of the quadruped.
And there was another time when the
state mad an o~yerhanging debt in spite OF
the constitution. When William I.arra-
pee came into the governors office. we
believe there was a debt of a quarter Of n
million dollars floating about. a relic OF
the state house building days. Mr.. LARA
bee, with a characteristic honesty insist
ID that the state must get rid OF that
debt and quit violating its own constitu-
ton. He held to such a policy OF economy
That the debt was raid off before his term

\ PLAYING WITH DANGER :

Washington-In a statement made pub

raise claims are made that the militia

tuition gives the state full authority over

and make it believe the militia can be
made a federal force is a preposterous
effort w1lfuny to fool the American peo-
pie.
Most of the pernicious opposition to the
creation of a real national force of citizen
soldiers comes from persons ~purporting to

but most of them are persons having a
selfish interest, by reason of their en-
in life, in seeing that the militia
Is the only recipient of support rendered
by the national government to citizen sol
diers.
My condemnation of the militia as a
national dependence is a condemnation of
the system and not of the personnel.
Nearly every disaster of the revolu-
tionary and the war of 1872 was largely
due to dependence upon the militia sys-
tenn. George W~ashington's main depend
enoe was the continental army, absolutely
controlled by the federal government.
IT a man thinks the army should be
spl1t into 4S parts, separately governed,
he must believe that the navy should be
divided into As parts, each part governed
osy a separate state. He must also believe
that the foreign affairs of the nation
should be manage by the IS different
states, each according TO IT'S own interests
and its own views; that the postoffice de-
paftment management DO parceled out to
each of the As states.
If there is any one sphere of govern
mental activity where the nation should
stand united, it is in the prenaration for
and the conduct of the defense of the ma
ton, which may involve the very life of
he nation. The issue is fundamental and
ancomprOmiSable."
