Poet, author, artist, deceased was
a notable figure. She was the last
living person who was intimate with
Edgar Allen Poe, and perhaps the
last person living who was an eye
witness to the battle of the Merri-
mac and Monitor. The story Of her
life Is filled with deep interest and
with romance.
She was born at Old Church, Han

NAL grant to her ancestors. She was
a member Of the well-known Talley
family. In her early years she show
lines, and while very young gave
promise OF much talent.
At the age OF fifteen years she was
a regular contributor of the South
ern Literary Messenger, of which
Edgar Allen Poe was for a time the
editor. Miss Talley was intimate with
Poe. and in her Home Life Of Edgar
Allen Poe" she has given to literary
history valuable contribution. The
work consisted chiefly of memoirs of
the noted poet, and told OF his home
life in a series of everyday stories.
During the Civil War she married
Colonel Louis Weiss. who died short
ly after the war. There was an only
son. Stuart Archer Weiss. who sur
wives her After the death of Colonel
Weiss his widow and son made "A

Weiss sent to ten of the leading news
papers of the country an account of
the trip. their observations and inn
pressions. in this way defraying the
expenses of the journey.
For number OF years she has
been living in Richmond, and has
contributed not a little of her talent
to the world of literature. Ever loyal
to the Confederacy for which her hus-
band fought. Mrs Weiss asked that
she be buried with a flag of the Con-
federacy draped about her bosom, and
she will sleep tomorrow beneath the
folds of the Stars and Bars.

Publicists of the world have MAIN
tanned a conspiracy of silence on the
coming German revolution because
they are afraid to conjure up a sinister
spectre and because they arc repealed
by "A difficult and delicate subject
But there may be another and more
plausible reason for their silence,
namely, that most people simply can
not believe in the very possibility Of
a German revolution. And If you
press them to state their definite rea-
sons for such belief you will prob.
ably find that all the arguments given
ultimately come under the four fol-
lowing heads:
/. Militarism and reaction is 100
deeply rooted in Germany. The re-
dictionary forces are far too strong to
leave any chance to a successful revo-
luton
= A revolution is impossible under
modern considerations of warfare A
few machine guns, a few crack regi-
ments of the kaiser's body guard,
would at once drench the rebellion in
rivers of blood.
3. The Social-Democrats. the So
called revolutionary party. have them
selves repudiated revolutionary meth
eds.
4. The German temperament has
not the initiative, the residence which
are the prime conditions of a sue
cessful, revolution. The whole Ger
man historical tradition is against any
revolutionary solution and any radi-
cal reformer must come from the
outside.
Arguments Analysed.
Let me carefully and dispassion
~ examine each of these arguments.
In the first place, We are told that
Russian reaction is too strong and
that for the German people to at
tack the Hohenzollern stronghold
would be as hopeless as for a mad
man or a prisoner to break down
the walls of his prison. The prisoner
woald only break his head and the
mailman would only get himself put
into straight Jacket. The German
rebel is confronted by the impregna-
Bile structure of a solid and efficient
government, government based on
the prestige of the past and sur
rounded by the gamor OF triumphant
victories achieved in great national
wars.
The argun snt might have been
valid after 1853 and 1870. when the
Catholics fought the battle of lib
eralism and when the Socialist Dem
ocrats fought the battle OF democ-
racy against Bismarck. The argu-
ment ceases TO be valid today, for
this is not a national war for the
Germans.
When the conspiracy of lies and
the conspiracy Of silence comes TO

(NOTE-F. A. Mckenzie, a well
known Canadian newspaper man, who
has been with the Canadian forces on
the western front, and had exceptional
opportunities to see them in action,

Although the series was written be-
fore America made its entry into the

achieved their latest glory in the tax
irg of Vimy Ridge, they give a vivid

menus, taxing the StdnG tnat loyalty III
the present crisis of the United States
demands such a step, and that in the
face of the appeal of the federal gov
eminent to increase the number OF
medical graduates Georgia can nc
longer afford to hamper this patriotic
service by taxing colleges and keep
ing down the standard and that funds
the state at present is deriving from
the taxation of college endowments
would do far more good if left in the
treasures of the colleges than if taken
i1to the treasury of the state.
At the recent meeting of the Medi-
cal Association of Georgia, in Augusta,
resolutions introduced by DR.. Stewart
p Roberts and seconded by DR.. W. W.
Pitcher, were passed to the effect that,
1T is the sense of this association
that the tax on college endowments
should be lifted, that, by SO doing, med
zeal education in the state may be fos-
tered"
Said one noted and patriotic physic-
ian in connection with this action:
Il hope an appeal to the editors of
Georgia newspapers will result in their
spreading this appeal through all the
state, which will assuredly mean an
awakening to the Importance of i'm
mediate action"
The raising of standards by the
American Medical association and the
incorporation of these standards into
the laws of most of the states have
brought to an end very many medical
colleges, and also reduced the num-
Der of students attending those which
have been able to survive. In Geor-
gia this year the medical students who
will be graduated will not be suffi-
Gent to furnish interns for the hos
pitals in the state, to say nothing Of
taking the places of physicians who
have died during the year, or who have
been taken into the medicol and naval
service of the federal government.
Not a few of the medical students
graduating this year have been en-
listed in the service of the army and
navy. and the federal government is
asking the medical colleges in Geor-
gia to do all they can to increase the
number of their graduates. But how
can this service to the country be rem
dered if the endowments of medical
colleges in Georgia are mulcted by
taxationy, a policy which is not follow
ed in most of the states of the union.
OF all the Southern states, Georgia and
Florida alone follow this unwise pol
icy.
The funds which the state derives
from. taxation of college endowments
would do more good to the common
wealth if left in the treasures of the
colleges than if taken into the treasury
Of the state. Such being the case, it
is bad business for Georgia to con-
tinue longer this policy, which was
not inaugurated until 1877, and which
has hindered education in Georgia
every day since it was adopted.
1T is hoped that the next legisla-
ture will perceive the wisdom of the
resolution adopted by the Medical AS
ISOLATION of the state, and proceed to
adopt the amendment to the constitu-
ton which proposes to relieve college
endoyments from taxation when they
are not invested in real estate. There
is nothing in the measure that is dan
gerous to the state, but it is clearly a
measure which would promote the
highest welfare of the state"
