I A' southern paper, speaking of the race problem says: "The lazy, trifling negro is responsible for nine-tenths of the troubles and misfortunes of his race. He consumes much and pro duces nothing." Isn't that equally true of the white man and is it a race problem at all? A lazy, shiftless man of any color of the rainbow is an un mitigated nuisance. Industry and honesty are natural allies and dignify life, whatever the color of the skin. Idleness is the promoter of mischief! Norfolk News. An eflbrt is being made to boost Carl Kramer out of the postoflice at Colum bus. There isn't a thing against the man except that he has held the office for a considerable number of years and knows just how to conduct it for the accommodation of the people. In this country as in England, a faithful pub lic servant ought to hold a government job for life. When he has divorced himself from every other branch of in dustrial activity, and is giving his best efforts to the public service, it is brutal to throw him over the embankment for no other reason than that some political plugger must be provided for. Bixby in State Journal. Dr. Irl Hicks, the weather prophet pretender, is a good deal of a frost. He claims to be able to forecast weath er a hundred years. The United States government, with billions of dollars behind it and with all the in telligent science in the world available for its service, is glad to be able to forecast twelve hours in advance. Dr. Hicks "forecasted" that the heat wave would hang on till August 26, when he spoke in Norfolk last week. That his guess was based on no great er foundation than any other person's guess would be, must be apparent to any intelligent observer, and particu larly in view of the explosion of his predictions. People who farm according to Hicks take long chances. It's safer, though not so mysterious, to follow the govern ment scientists in their forecast. Nor folk News. AN INTERESTING LIST.

New York Tribune. - - THE NEW RELIGION. Some people get into trouble as soon as they find themselves with nothing to do. Perhaps this is the explanation of the recent peculiar conduct of that magnificent gentleman, Dr. Charles W. Eliot, ex-president of Harvard. Until the time of his retirement from the head of this great university Dr. Eliot was one ot the most orthodox of men. He followed beaten paths. He was ultra-conservative. Freakish fads could not by the wildest stretch of imagination be associated with his venerable name. He was solid, sub stantial and, everybody supposed, firmly grounded in rationalism. No sooner was he relieved of the time-filling duties of president of Har vard, however, than he began to break away from the straight lines along which his life had been lived. First he propounded a five foot library, which afterwards turned to be a clever advertising scheme of a big publishing house. Now he ia out as the inventor of a brand new religion. Accepting Dr. Eliot's own version of his new belief, one is forced to admit that the theory put forth by the dig nified educator is unique, to say the least. Dr. Eliot has this to say of his proposed church: It will not be bound by dogma or creed. There will be no supernatural element. It will place no reliance on anything but the laws of nature. It will not be based on authority. It will not teach that character can be changed quickly. It will not deal chiefly with sorrow and death, but with joy and life. It will not attempt to reconcile people to'present ills by the promise of future compensation. It will attack all forms of evil. Its priests will strive to improve social and industrial conditions. This is about as wide open, free and easy a religion as we ever encountered. It seems to be a sort of go-as-you-please proposition. Everybody and anybody can beloLg, without fear of disturbing their existing or prospect ive beliefs. In fact, it looks, on paper, like a church which would interfere in no way with one's religious convictions, politics or previous condition of servi tude. The deist and atheist, the Jew and Gentile, the Mohammedan and Voodooist all may join the new church and be equally welcome. All seem to be fitted as followers of the Eliot doctrine. As outlined by Dr. Eliot, it will not be necessary for his followers to be lieve in God or the divinity of Christ, in future rewards of heaven or in pun ishment of hell, for the keynote of the faith is "joy and life." What a com fortable church this would be for most of us to belong to. If we could only accept Dr. Eliot's religion how happy we could be! No fear of damnation, no inclination to do right for the hope of reward. Just following along in the paths we are already traveling, believing anything we want to believe and doing about anything we want to do, secure all the time in the knowl edge that we are church members and adherents to a religious faith! Dr. Eliot should find the public wonderfully responsive. If he has what he says he has thousands of peo ple will grasp hungrily at the chance to embrace the kind of religion they've been hankering for all their lives something which they can cling to in the belief that it is a religion but which will in no way interfere with anything they wish to do that is in violation of the tenets of the old, ortho dox churches. Lincoln Star. THE DANGER MARK. What is the literary merit of a line of stars? Robert Chambers in "The Danger Mark," running in the Satur day Evening Post, places his hero and heroine in impossible places and scenes, and just when the reader is getting ready to pull down the blinds before reading farther, he runs in a line of stars. Then when the story begins again, the tabasco has been removed. Geraldine her last name is of no importance inherits a million and a fondness for drink. She loves a rounder .named Duane, and, in a pre ceding chapter, drank his brandy and soda, aud gets drunk on the parlor lounge. When she wakes up, she is in her own bed. Who carried her there, the author doesn't say. In the last installment, Duane and Geraldine meet in the corridor of her brother's country home. He reminds her that she once said she would dare go anywhere with him, and says she must go with him to her room. She goes. Here of late the woman who resists isn't met outside of accounts of suffragette meetings.- Once there, she sits on a divan. (More commonly known as "sofy"), and he kisses her knees, her ankles, the tips of her shoes, and begs her to marry him, confessing that he carried her to her room the day she got drunk. There is a wild scene, the reader reaches for the cur tain string, and then comes the line of stars.- Calmed down by the line of -stars, the reader finds Geraldine in her Iov- er's arms, agreeing to go with him that night to get married. But she must change her dress, and he must sit on the step outside her door till she does it. This little remembrance of the proprieties stamps Geraldine as a Proper person, and removes the read er's prejudice. It ends without any more stars. Love scenes in bedrooms are a weakness of Robert Chambers. He had one in "On the Firing Line," also in the Post, that called for a dozen lines of stars, and which disgusted the healthy-minded with anything bear ing Chambers' signature. The Satur day Evening Post is one of the great est successes of the age, but its editor is letting its success go to his head when he prints stories like these. There is "A Danger Mark" for him, as well as for the fool girl he writes about, and he is approaching it AMERICAN SENTIMENT. Qf the ancient defects in our nation al character which Bishop Williamsof Michigan has brought together into one withering indictment, none is so familiar and st false as the charge that we are an unsentimental people. For if there is anything that marks us off from the races of Europe it is the amazing ease with which a people of eighty million souls can be swayed here and there by the idea and fancy of the moment. A Dreyfus case may shake France to its depths. The fear of German in vasion may stir British hearts. But we need no such profound causes to make our newspapers and our maga zines and our speaking platforms vi brate from coast to coast, to the same tune. What other practical nations call movements we characteristically call "waves." The fight against graft in municipal politics was a wave; prohibition is a wave; the direct primary is a wave; the reaction against the impure drama is a wave; the Teddy hear was a wave, and the present day fashion of living in bungalows is a wave. We have been sentimental enough to go wild over such inherently fascinating sub jects as conservation and desert irriga tion on the one hand, and the proper punishment for kidnapping on the other. We are sentimental enough to have indulged these later years in a process of heart searching of which Bishop Williams's sermon is. a very good specimen. New York Evening Post. All editors have the right to be mis taken as to opinions, for it is pretty hard for all to see alike, and all think alike, and when two differ on a matter of opinion both may be' honest and one is certain to be wrong. But there are some matters of fact about which there ought to be no mistake. Great harm is sometimes done by misstate ments of fact. The State Capital says thai the new tariff bill increased the tariff on such articles of luxury as wool, and decreased it on such neces sary articles as anchors and the like. As a matter of fact the new tariff did not iucrease the tariff on wool. You can say almost anything you wish about what the tariff has done, and few people will be in a position to dis pute you, for few people know what it has done. As a matter of fact the wool growers got together not long ago and formed an association to advance the price of wool. Goods have been sold at advanced prices and the repre sentation made that it was owing to the increased tariff when the tariff had not been changed at all. There is enough prejudice and unadvised comment in the country without fostering them with misrepresentations in the prints. York Republican. Strike of Besshi Miners. In the recent strike of the Besshi miners in Niihama, in northern Japan, the systematic military organization adopted by the mob in its attacks upon the police and troops was im pressive. The rioters inarched as well as soldiers and fought under com manders as in battle. Evidently these men had not gone through the Man churian campaign without learning the art of united self-defense. They showed regular signals during action and they deployed and maneuversed like a fighting column. They were pleased to regard hospitals and schools as neutral properties, but ,all the property belonging to the mining company was reduced to ashes. Skepticism. "I kind of agree with the folks who say that story about George Washing ton and the cherry tree is a myth," said Farmer Corntossel after a thoughtful silence. "For what reason?" inquired his wife.

BLUB 60AT& COMMA ND&D BY A REBEL IN GRAY When I was placed in absolute command of a squad of Federal sol diers by Gen. W. T. Sherman during the Civil War, I think I figured in an incident of that strife which had no precedent and no duplication. Any way, the act enabled me to save the Georgia State Library and many books, papers and records which may well be considered priceless. During the last two years of the Civil War, I was stationed at Mill- edge vilie, Ga., as surgeon in charge of Brown Hospital. At that time Mill edgeville was the capital of the state and during November, 1864, the leg islature was holding its annual session. On the 17th of that month Governor Joseph E. Brown sent in a military messaee. ureriner. " That the governor and legislature then ad journ to the front to aid in the struggle till the enemy is repelled, and to meet again, if we should liye, at such time and place as the governor may des ignate." Next day many appropriation bills were passed, and the assembly ad journed. On the next Sunday afternoon about 4 o'clock, the news came into the town that a squad of Federal cavalry was approaching it in the direction of the railroad station. I at once went out to meet them. The squad was in com mand of a Captain Duncan who inter cepted me in front of the executive mansion. He gave me the military salute, which I returned, and asked me: "What are you doing here, major?" "I am here under orders of Dr. S. H. Stout, the medical director of hos pitals of General Hood's army," I answered. He then asked me my orders; I showed him Dr. Stout's telegram. He then demanded: ''Your commission?" I immediately produced it, and after reading it, he said: "Sir, it gives me great pleasure to sav that this is the only commission I have read since I have been in your country that would entitle the holder to any respect or protection. Your commission is from the state of Geor gia, a sovereign power. These things you call commissions, emanating from a pretended government, the so called Confederacy, are not worth the paper and ink used in getting them up." Captain Duncan then asked me to show him my hospital. Doing sp, I first took him to ray office. Before entering, I said to him, "Captain Dun can, bring in turee ot tne Dest men you have with you." It was a cold, misty, November day. The scouts had been riding all day without dinner. In my office I had a good, big, rousing log fire in a regular old fashioned country fireplace, which made the room very comfortable. After seating them I called to my boy Matt to bring out the brandy and sugar. Uncorking the first bottle, I said: "Captain, help yourself, sir, and your friends. Here is a' treat I have been reserving for you for the last several months." Captain Duncau at once poured out the brandy, sweetening it with sugar. The bluecoats certainly enjoyed the treat. Here we talked freely and cor dially for fifteen or twenty minutes, during which the signal as Master Mason being interchanged, the boys in blue and gray seemed to forget there was any question at issue between them. About this time I said: "Matt, my boy, briug out another bottle." ( I had only two bottles, hut I didn't intend to let them know but that I had several dozen.) ''Gentlemen," said I, "before in specting the hospital, help yourselves again." That bottle soon went to keep com pany with the first. Thereupon. Cap tain Duncan warmed up and proffered me any aud every assistance I might need daring the stay of Sherman's army. Without further inspection of the hospitals, he reported to General Sherman's headquarters that he had examined my hospital, that I was all right, and asked that I have whatever protection might be necessary. With in an hour of two the cavalry retired from the town. Next day, early, there came in several hundred "bum mers," who committed all kinds of vandalism. They took everything they could find in sight that could be carried off and searched for many .1 . v i . a wings out oi signc .Drown nospiiai They Do Not Mak Love.

Not a parti cle of butter, flour, chickens, or any of the things I had fpr the sick, was spared. I was left twenty-four hours with forty-eight sick and wounded men, without anything at all for them to eat. As soon as I could get to General Sco field's headquarters, a mile out of town, I informed him of the sacking of the hospital. He respectfully referred my paper to General Sherman, asking that I be given everything I needed for my patients. I at once repaired to Gener al Sherman's headquarters, the excu- tive mansion. Although my experience with Gen eral Sherman differs materially from that of the many gray coats who came in contact with him during the war, without hesitation or reservation I state that to me, individually, and to my men he wa3 kind and considerate. Of course, he required that I show him that I was in straits, and that my men sorely needed help. This being done, General Sherman ordered at ouce that his medical director supply me with all needed medical stores, similar orders being sent to the quartermaster and commissary generals. In a short time I drew from these departments every thing necessary to render my sick and wounded comfortable. At the same time, without solicitation ou my part, he ordered the provost marshal to the post, Gen. William Hawley of the Wisconsiu cavalry, to furnish me with a guard of eight men to protect Brown Hospital from further depredation. These men were placed under my spec cial control, and orders given them strictly to obey me, "as though a Un ion officer." Io all probability 1 am the only rebel i.tficer who, whilst in a gray uniform, had a squad of Federal soldiers and marched them through the streets as his command during the Civil War. Although nearly fifty years ago, l distinctly remember the sensation created when marching these men up and down the streets of Mill edgeville, amid the jeers and cheers of the Yankee soldiers as they would call out my squad, "Hep, hep, hep," at each step. These men had to be re lieved from duty twice a day with a fresh squad and to me was delegated the duty of marching them to and from relief. To their credit be it said that these men rendered faithful service and obeyed my every command. General Hawley's headquarters was in Governor Brown's office in the old Capitol Building, directly opposite the State Library. One afternoon, visit ing his office I noticed a great many soldiers in the library destroying the books. After mutilating them with their knives or swords, they would make a pile of the books and set fire to them. As I came up General Hawley was standing looking on. Seeing me greatly troubled as I witnessed such wanton destruction, he asked me, if there was any book in the lot I want ed. If so, he'd pick it out and give it to me. I asked him if he would allow me to take what books I wanted. To this he readily assented. I called my man, and he and I hauled three loads of books, when Hawley said: "Doctor, I'll not put you to all this trouble. I'll place you in possession. -Take the whole library and do what you please with it" Thanking him, 1 said: "General, I am powerless and can not stop these men. I cannot keep them out, unless you give me some moie men to guard the place as at the hospital. Or," I suggested, "may I not take two of my men from the hos pital guard and place them here?" To this he said: "No, sir, I'll give you two extra men day and night, only you must come twice a day and once at night to see that these men do their duty, and when we are gone the books are yours to do as you please with them." As long as Sherman's army remain ed in Milledgeville, Provost Marshal Hawley furnished me day and night with guards to protect the library. So far aa I know, not another book of the Georgia State Library was ever de stroyed by Sherman's soldiers. From that day to this I have felt a perhaps pardonable pride that I was humbly instrumental in saving Georgia's thou sands of volumes of rare and valuable books and many papers, the most of which, doubtless could never have been replaced.
