LAWLEssNEss 1N GroRa1A.

Whether Georgia rises above the law lessness which has been displayed in that state to the disgust of the whole nation must depend upon the people. Leadership can do much under the circumstances but character in that commonwealth to ac- complish results in the right direction. Georgia has tolerated crimes of a spe- eially dePleFable type for long time and it was with high degree of satis- faction that Governor Dorsey after the revelations that had been made concern ing peonage in that state should rise to. the occasion denounce the manner in which lswlessness had been permitted to go unahated in the state, deery the atti- tude that was taken toward the Negro and demand that law and order be en- forced. and if there was not sufficient authority for such to increase it to pro- vide it.
 took it fearlessly and meant what he said. He assumed the leadership. that gave the chance for the better element of 1 Georgia, about which so much has been
 said whenever lawlessness in that state has been under fire, to rise and assert Itself. Unfortunately his declarations on this subject came at the close rather than the opening of his term as govern or He has vow been succeeded by Gov ernor Hardy NE and already it is evident that Georgia under his leadership is not likely to progress much in the fighting of Ia wlessness. Governor Hardwick indi7 cstes his attitude when he declares that Georgia is not afflicted with mob lawiess- ness. Little hone for any marked cor rection of the disregard for law and or i der is given by the new governor. He is inclined to take the view that there has been an exsggeration of Georgia $ crimes and expatiating on the fact that
 mob rule is not general.
 It is to be hoped that no governor of
 Georgia will wait until lawlessness be-
 comes general. or peonage exists on ev-
 cry farm before action is taken to bring
 about respect for the law. Concerning

 taining such Georgia hasn't appar

So serious is the deficiency that re- stFictions on the use of water will prob ably be introduced by the Metropolitan Water Board. Fortunately, the coal steRpage has had the effect of causing people 10 use less water. During May for instance. over 20.000 900 gallons less water was used in London tan during the same month last year. Peonie can not get the coal, so they heat less water, and consequently save considerable quantity in q month. Had it neI been for this the position would have heen much more serious. People must really save a great deal more water than they are in the habit of doing Even if we get piea- ty of heaven rains, the springs will not be replenished for some time and the situation during July and August will continue to be difficult.

In view of the desperate efforts that were made by bandits and the success mat attended their efforts in holding m steam trains, there can be no sunrise that others have been impressed with Inc opportunity of using similar tactics on the moto rtrucks with their large and valuable loads of goods. Conditions are In many instances much more favorable ,or the holding up of the latter and when t is realized that on one much traveled road there has been taken over quarter of a million dollars worth of valuable goods within a short period of time it ean be realized that it is a profitable un- 5ertaking.
 The situation, however, becomes Such mat it is only proper that the drivers of such trucks should seek the right to 20 properly armed in order to protect them selves and their loads. The danger is in Tact enough to discourage many drivers put above all 1t calls for just such action as has been taken in providing armed conveys for the breaking up of such gangs
 The plan is to operate the trucks in a manner similar to what the merchant vessels were during the time when it was necessary to guard against subma- rines. They will go in fleets and have the protection that the conditions war rant. It is of course high time that drastic steps were taken to make the job of the motor bandit not only unpopular and unproftable but also unhealthy.

ODD INCIDENTS IN AMERICAN
 HISTORY
THE EMPRESS OF GEORGIA

THE EMPRESS OF GEORGIA"
 When the good Governor Oglethorpe came to America and tried to colonize
 Georgia he was greatly aided in his eff forts to conciliate. the Indians by the wife of John Musgrove. half-breed Indian woman. She became known to the col onists as 'The Empress of Georgia and her friendship for the whites was timely and fortunate.
 Finding that she had great influence and could be made very useful to the col
 onists. Oglethorpe employed her as an interpreter She aided in concluding treaties and also in securing warriors from the Creek nation in the war that occurred between the colonists and the Spaniards who occupied Florida. General Oglethorpe had a sincere friendship for Mary Musgrove, and his influence over her was such that she
 never refused a request he made. If Oglethorpe had remained in Georgia it is probable that the curious episode in which Mary took leading part would never have occurred.
 After Musgrove died Mary married a man named Thomas Bosomworth, who had been a chaplain in Oglethorpe's regi- ment Before this second marriage Mary had never ceased to labor for the colony, but after it her conduct was such as to 1 keep the whites in constant fear Of mas
 saere and extermination.
 President Stephens, who had succeeded | Oglethorpe, had an altercation with the
 Bosemworths regarding the introduction
 of slaves, and the governor had them re-
 moved from the territory. From that time on both Bosomworth and his wife | | order of the Georgia coleny%
 | They succeeded in gaining the friend 1 ship of other colonies who were angered
 at the new government, as well as secur- l ing the support and sympathy of the ln- dians. Malatche, a brother of Mary. at l the head of a body of Indians, held 8 i conference, the result of which was that he sent a messenger to England to tell
 the king that he Malatche,-was emperor ! of all the Creeks. Matters went on peacefully for a while, ! but Bosomworth was active and energetic and his wife appears to have been entire
 ly under his control Rev. MT. Bosom worth directed that his wife should call 1 a council of the Creeks which she did, and at which she told them she was
 Empoess of Georgia. The Indians swore
 allegiance to her to the last drop of their 1 blood.
 Having thus obtained the support of
 the Indians, Mary set out for Savannah
 accompanied by large body of them She sent before her a messenger to in 1 form the president of the province that she had become empress over the whole
 territory, and that she was on her way
 to demand the instant surrender of all the lands that had belonged to both na-
 tions, and that, if there should be any serious opposition to her demands the
 settlement would be attacked and de- stroyed.
 It was dark hour for the colonists
 who were vastly outnumbered by the

SAVING GOvERNMENF FUNns.

Saving money is one of the big jobs that is faced in Washington both in the making of appropriations, in deyising the budget and in bringing about 2 reorgan- izatieH of the various departments of the government, Whether 1t Is possible to make the largest savings where the big sest expenditures are involved deReAda upon the use that is made of the funds, the necessity of such work and the re- suits that are being obtained.
 There cannot fail to he keen interest In the reported tentative agreement among the members of the joint commit tee on reorganization concerning the con- solidation of the war and navy depart ments, two of the departments for which three-quarters of billion will be re- quired during the ensuing year, accord ing to the action recently taken by con- gress.
 Such a change would mean a decided ly radical departure from the arrange ment that has long been prevailed but in the reorganization long anticipated it Is recognized that the plan to be finally recommended will be presented with the view to obtaining efficiency and economy. There is good reason for doing away with a lot of the work that now over laps and great amount of the expense that can be eliminated through the intro duction of business methods.
 There are various estimates as to what can be saved by such a consolidation running all the way up to s450, 09o, 900 It is believed that not less than s15e,- 000,0 a year can be saved through such joint administration.
 That there will be opposition to any thing of the kind is as certain as night follows day. There will be those whe will be guided by personal reasons, just as it is now being shown in various bu- reuas of other departments, where cer- tain heads are endeavoring to influence congress to block projected changes re- gardless of the fact that they are back cd by the administration. If nearly a i half billion can be saved by such con solidation and promote the efficiency oi our national defense there is advanced a reason that should carry much weight Ii supports the idea that there Is economy as well as strength in union.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Laboriag AIen and sunday.


 NIT. Editor: Laboring men need rest sleep recreation. and food, yet shall we have laws compelling them to rest. sleep, eat, and recreate on certain designated heufs of days? A mans time should be under the control of his will, provided he wills to be civil all the time. The gov eFnment has no right to attempt to reg uiate mans >private affairs. The state may name the number of hours in a legal days work and make Sunday or any other day, a legal holiday. but 1t is not within Its province to compel men to work every day in the week or to force them to keen one day as a Sabbath.
 It may seem to a man sometimes that ne must work every day in the week or starve, but it has been repeatedly dem onstrated that God has a care for those who .eonsoientiously seek to ohey him in accordance with the light they have re- ceived. California in 1893 enacted the following law which is unobjectionable giving one permission to chose his owr day of rest: "Bvery person employed in any occupation of labor shall be entitled to one days rest therefran in seven and it shall be unlawful for any em- ployer of labor to cause his employees. or any of them. to work more than six days in seven; provided. however, that the provisions of this measure shall nat an. ply to any case of emergency" This is very different from the Sunday laws which seek to compel every man to rest or "Sabbatizer on the first day of the week There is a better state of morals in California where they have no Sun. day laws than in those states where they have them.
 The first Sunday law was the seed from which sprung the religious nersecu. tion of the Dark Ages when millions of martyrs laid down their lives for con. science sake. The last-dav reformation will come in conflict with the same forces which onArated in past ages. ana tho results will he similar.
 When civil law conflicts with the law of God. we are to obey God rather thar man: Acts 5:2s.
 Respectfully,

 When the Indians were assembled at the presidents house the Bosomworths were ordered to withdraw. The president and council asked them the meaning of their hostil demonstration. The Indiana said that they meant no harm to the whites, but that Mary must speak for them and they would abide by what she said
 They held a conference with their empress the outcome of which was that the Indians began to conduct themselves riotously and great prudence was neces- sary in order to prevent bloodshed and save the town from destruction Orders were given to the militia to lay hold of Bosomwerth and place him in close con- fRement and cause Mary to be arrested

''Why do you look so sad?" interest edly inquired the second eligible bachelor of the first eligible bachelor. who was regarding his neck scarf with vast dis like and scewling intently at his hat.
 Because I am sad" the first eligible bachelor told him without having to stop to think. q am sad because I am scar ed to death! have to go and call on that pretty little widow. Mrs. Hopstiek, and, while she is a ravins beauty, she is ten times smarter than she is beautiful, and, I ask you, what chance have I with a woman like that?
