MOTOR BANDITS, In view of the desperate efforts that were made by bandits and the success hat attended their efforts in holding up team trains, there can be no surprise hat others e been impressed with e opportunity of using similar tacties on the moto rtrucks with their large and aluable loads of goods. Conditions are n many instances much more favorable the holding up of the latter and when is realized that on one much traveled road there has been taken over o quarter of a million dolars worth of valyable zoods within a short period of time it *an be realized that it is a profitable un- lertaking The situal that it is however, beeomes such proper that the drivers of such trucks should seek the right to go properly armed In order to protect them- s and thelr loads. The danger is in act enough to discourage many drivers 1t above all It calls for just such action as has heen taken in providing armed convoys for the breaking up of suech rangs The plan 18 to operate the trucks In a manner simflar to what the merchant vessels were during the time when it was necessary to guard against subma- rines.

Just as long as they ean stage the holdups, met away with valuable goods, encoun- ter little or mo opposition and eseape runishment the transportation of geods overland is going ta become increasing- v hazardous, and there is no telling how soen [t will .extend to all-kinds ha) s cn It has béen pretty well demonstrated that there are these who are copstantly watching for opportunities to get rich quick through crime and it is ly evident that if it is going to be frustrated the authorities must be as keenly alert to catch and punish such individuals as they are eager to participate in sueh ae- tivities, N D SAVING GOVERNMENT_FUNDS. Saving money is one of the big jobs DrAGS 13 & weeki Jte & manth: W0 {4nat iy faced I Washingten beth in the making of appropriations, in devising the budget and in bringing about a reorgan- ization of the various departments of the government, Whether it s pessible to oTiee, 153 make the largest saviugs Where the big- SL Telwhene 16 |Eest expenditures are imveived depends upon the use that is made of the funds, the necessmty of such work and the re- sults that gre being obtained. There eamnot fail to be keen interest in the reported temtative agreement among the members of the joint commit- tee on reorganization concerning the con- solidation of the war and navy depart- ments, twe of the departments for Which three-quarters of a billion Will be re« quired duripz the emsuing year, accord- ing fo the action recently takem by com- gress. Such a change would mean 3 decided- Iy 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 te obtaining efficiency and econemy. There is good reason for doing away with 2 lot of the work that mow over- lapg and a great amount of the expense that cam be eliminated through the intro- Quction of business methods. There are various estimates as ta what can be saved by such a consolidation, running all the way up to $450,000,000. It is believed that not less than $150,- 000,0000 a year can he 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 who will be guided by personal reasoms, just as it is now being shown in various bu- reuas of other departments, where cer- n heads are endeavoring to influence congresg to block projected changes re- gardless of the fact that they are back- ed by the administration. If mearly a half billion can be saved by such a con- solidation and promote the efiiclency of our national defense there i3 advanced a reason that should earry much weight. Tt supports the Idea that there is economy as well as stremgth in union. LAWLESSNESS IN GEORGIA. Whether Georgia rises above the law- | lessness which has been displaved in that state to the disgust of the whole nation must depend upon the people. Leadership can do much under the circumstances but leadership nmeeds to be of a pewertul character in that commonwealth to ac- complish results in the right direction. Georgia has tolerated crimes of a spe- cially deplorable type for a long time and it was with a high degree of satis- tion that Governor Dorsey after the revelations that had been made comcern- ing peonage in that state should rise to. the occasion demounce the manner in which lawlessness had beem permitted to zo unabated in the state, decry the atti- tude that was taken toward the Negro and demand that law and order be en- forced, and if there was not sufficlent authority for sueh to imcrease it to pro- vide it. 5 Governor Dorsey took 2 bold stand, took it fearlessly and meant what he said. . He assumed the leadership that gave the chance for the better element of 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 ef his term ag govern- or. He has nnw been succeeded by Gov- ernor HardiN < and already it is evident that Georgia under his leadership is Sot likely to progress much in the fighting of lawlessness. Governer Hardwick indi. cates his attitude when he declares that Georgia Is not afflicted with mob lawless- nest Little hope for any marked eoz- rectlon of the disregard for law and or- der is glven by the new govermor. Ha s inclined tp take the view that there has been an exagreration of Georgla's crimes and expatiating on the faet that moh rule is hot general. It is to he hoped that no governer of Georgia Will wait until lawlessness be- comes general, or peonage existg on ev- ery farm before action is taken to bring sbout respect for the law. Concerning respect for laws and leadership In ob- taining such Geergia hasm't appar- ently progressed in the change of gov- ernors, EDITORIAL NOTES. It has certainly been a great wegk for the wets.

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 cmployed her as an interpreter. She aided in concluding treaties and also in securinz warriors from the Creek nation in the war that occurred between the colonists and the Spaniards who occupied Florida. General Oglethorpe had a friendship for Mary Musgrove, 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 a leading part would never have occurred. After Musgrove died Mary married a man named Thomas Bosomworth, whe had been a chanlain 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 keep the whites in constant fear of mas- sacrp and extermination. President Stephens, who had succeeded Oglethorpe, had an altercation with the Bosomworths regarding the introduction of slaves, and the governor had them re- moved from the territory. From that time on both Bosomworth and his wife began to plot against the peace and good order of the Georgia colonyes They succeeded in gaining the friend- ship of other colonies who were angered at the new government, as well as secur- ing the subpert and sympathy of thé In- dians. Malatche, a brother of Mary, at the head of a body of Indians, held a 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. 5 Matters went on peacefully for a while, but Bosomworth-was active and energetic and his wife appears to have been entire- 1y under his control, Rev. Mr. Bosom- worth directed that his wife should call a council of the Creeks, which she did, and at which she told them she was Empgess of Georgia. The Indians swore allegiance to her to the last drop of their blood. sincere and his Having thus obtained the support of the Indians, Mary set out for Savannah accompanied by a large body of them. She sent before her a messeng form the president of the province that she had become empress ovér the whole territory, and that she was on her way to demand the instant surrender of all the Jands 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.

The Indians en- tered the town in regular order, head- ed by Thomas Bosomworth, who decked eut in full camenical robes with Mary by his side, was followed by the various chiefs according to their rank. When the Indians were asscmbled at the president's house the Bosomworths were ordered to withdraw. The president and council asked them the meaning of their hostil demonstration. Tae 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 Bosomwarth and place him in elose con- finement and cause Mary to be arrested Drivately. ‘Wiien this was done quiet restored. The ndians ceased mm: terous, and a feast was cleverly prepared for them, in the midst of which the chiefs were tald that Bosomwarth had become involved in debt and was trying te se- cure all the lands. for the Creeks. For the moment this explanation .Was sue- cessful, but later Mary 'prevailed upan themt to “resift ,the governor, which they did for g time but eyentually finding him- self no longer supported by the Indians/ Bosemworth at last repented his folly. He acknowledged the, title of his wifs o be groundless and relinquisned all glaims to the lands of the province. Though his offence had been serious the colonists pardoped him and thus ended the earcer of Coosaponakesee (Mary) as “Empriss of Gearge.” (Tamorrow—Napoleon and America.) LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Labering Men and Sunday. Mr. Editor: Laboring men need rest sleep, recreation and food, yet shall we have laws compelling them to rest, sleap, eat, and recreate on eertain desiznated heurs of days? A man's time should be under the contral ef his will, provided he wills to be eivil all the time. The gov- ernment -has no right to attempt ta reg- nlate a man's/private affairs, The state name the numher of hours in a legal s work’ and make Sunday, or any other day, a legal holiday, but It js net within its province to compel men te work every day in the week or to fores them to keep ome day as a Sahbath. Tt mey seem to a man sometimes that he must work every day in the week or starve, but it has been repegtedly dem- onstrated that God has a care far those who .conscientiously seels to ohey him in aceordance with the light they have re- ceived. California in 1893 enacted the following law which is unobjectionable, ving one permission to chose his own of rest: “Bvery person employed in any occupation of lahor shall be entitled f!n one day's rest therefrgm in seven, and it shall be unlawful for any em- ployer of labor to cause his emploves. or any of them, to work more than six days in seven: provided, however, that the provisions of this measure shall nat ap- ply to any case of emergency.” This is very different from the Sunday laws which seek to compel every man te rest or “Sabbatize" on the first day af the weel. There is a hetter statp of morals in California where they have no Sun- day laws than in those states where they havae them. The first Sunday law was the from which sprung the reli tion of the Dark cned fous nersecn- Ages when millions of martyrs laid down their ‘lives for con- sclence sake.
