Color of Pure Copper.

The work of Swiss investigator
suggests that absolutely pure copper
may have light gray color like that of
most other metals, since it is found
that copper which has been ten times
distilled in vacuo has only pale rose
color, while the yellow color of gold
becomes much lighter under similar
treatments.

Too Expensive to Get Office

The state press is publishing the itemized state
ments of candidates in the recent state primary and
the cost is astonishing. We give some of these for
local candidates in theis issue, The Journal is of
the opinion that the cost is entirely too much
the legitimate cost A man of moderate means can
scarcely afford to make race for any important
office The nation is crying out against the tremen-
dous slush funds used by both the big parties; and
the state ought to wake up to the fact that are
beginning to practice the same tactics in home mat
tiers. The public loses confidence in election
where large amounts of money are spent to procure
results and when confidence is lost in the ballot
away goes our boasted republican form of govern
ment SO long as there is no law against the of
money in what is termed legitimate ways just so
long will the longest pole thrash down the perslm
mons. Let it be understood that are not i'm
timatng that anybody has used funds to procure an
election in any but proper ways under the present
system, but opposed to system that requires
such lavish expenditures in elections

For Better Schools in Marietta.

The voters of Marietta will be called on October
9Th to vote for extra tax for the support of the
city schools At present the schools of the city
get 30 cents on the hundred dollars and the pro-
posed increase of 20 cents will be sufficient, the
trustees think, to take care of the schools. The
state law allows country McMchael local tax dis
tricts to levy so cents the hundred and most of
the thirteen local tax districts in Cobb county are
levying this amount. Shall not the city keep pace
with the country districts? In nothing that is main
tanned by taxation so many people interested as
in education. Practically every family is directly
interested in better schools and the city authorities
cannot keep the schools up to date and pay for the
kind of teachers that children are entitled unless
we raise more funds for them. Every one should
not only talk for Improvement in the schools, but
every voter should to it that his vote is recorded
in favor of the extra levy for this purpose.
