Says He Was Not Correctly Re
ported by an Atlanta Paper.
pelieves He Should Have Equal Op
portunities for Reform.and Correc
tion Granted to Others. Will
Never Advocate an Aristocracy of
(rime, Nor Favor Freedom for the
Lofty and High and Penalties for
the Humble and Lowly.
The News has received from Ex-
Governor W. J. Northen a communi
cation complaining of an article we
recently printed from the Atlanta
(;eorgian giving an account of the
eeches made by himself and Gov
crnor Smith before the Southern Ed
(cational Association, and in which
it was made to appear that these two
minent Georgians had locked horns
i 1 a sensational discussion of certain
phases of the negro question. Gov
crnor Northen, in his letter to The
News, says he was not correctly
reported by the Atlanta papers, and
cnclosed a communication he had ad
dressed to The Georgian in regard
to its report of his speech. In justjce
to him we reproduce that communi
cation below:
‘“Editor of The Georgian: In your
report of the speech I had the honor
to deliver before the Southern Edu
cational Association during the morn
ing session of yesterday I note the
following attributed to me, under
large print headlines—Give Equal
Advantages.
‘I say to you we should give the
negro the same educational advant
ages as the whites.’ |
“Thist statement is so very far
from what I did say that I am sure
vour reporter will be willing to rep
resent me properly when I call his
attention to the discussion.
“At the outset I remarked that
the discussion of any phase of the
negro question was exceedingly dis
rasteful to some people, because of
bitter prejudices against the entire
negro race. These people would be
ontent with nothing that did not
haracterize the negro as always and
verywhere indolent, inefficient, low,
mean, vicious and criminal, and to
<peak of him otherwise would be re
sented always by this class.
“I further said, while the negro
may not be regarded as a citizen he
s certainly an element in our social
order, and if he was uniformly as
just represented he greatly needed
t 0 be educated away from his crimi
nal relations and made helpful to the
community in which he lived. I
argued if this course was to be taken
with the white child who had good
llome environments how much more
s it needed for the negro child.
"I said further, the negro should
ve equal opportunities for reform
and correction granted to white
hildren, in houses for correction or
cformatories and even better if pos
ible, because of the greater demand.
"“As strongly as I knew how I ad
vocated a most stringent vagrancy
aw. Here again I insisted there
hould be no distinction between the
white vagrant and the negro vagrant,
ts a white vagrant is quite as much
4 menance to our community life as
L negro vagrant there should be no
listinction before the law. Let each
ave an equal opportunity for cor
ection and improvement before they

Because your case is a difficult one,

ompound a trial. It surely has cared

are returned to society. I remarked
I knew these views were unpopular,
but as I was not a candidate for
cffice, and never intended to be, I
advocated them because they were
righteous, just and fair, and regard
less of the opinion and opposition of
those who did not agree with me.
“Whatever may be the opinions of
other men I can never be brought
to advocate or support an aristocracy
'of crime, involving freedom for the
‘lofty and the high and penalties for
‘the humble and the lowly. This I
Say regardless of class or race condi
tions. To my way of thinking a
white fiend is as much to be dreaded
as a black brute.
“In all these things T said the
negro should have equal opportuni
ties for correction and improvement
as were granted the white man,
“As to the matter of the educa
tion to be furnished to the negro in
the state schools, I accepted and in
dorsed Dr. Phillips’ views, as ex
pressed in his excellent paper on
schools for negroes. I expressed my
self as agreeing with Dr. Phillips in
believing the state should take hold
of the negro child at an earlier age
than the white child, so as to save
him, if possible, before he was fixed
in vice and crime. 1| agreed also
with Dr. Phillips, and so stated, that
up to the time of 14 or 16 years of
age the negro child should be given
the same opportunities for education
and discipline as were furnished the
white child. Further than this age
limit T said nothing at all about the
education of the negro, as your re
porter has, inadvertently I am sure,
construed me.
““As an argument for these posi
tions I said a community of one
thousand white citizens of marked
intelligence and unquestioned char
acter could not be a perfect commu
nity if there were within its borders
a single criminal negro, liable at any
unexpected time to perpetrate an out
rage that would inflame a thousand
white men and make criminals of the
one hundred who would lynch and
burn his body because of his damna
ble outrage.
“My purpose in this effort, as in
others that have preceded, is to help
preserve to coming generations the
priceless civilization de.ivered to us
through the blood of our hero dead,
and I shall not be hindered in what
ever is righteous, just and fair, ab
solutely regardless of the opposition,
from whatever source it may come.

WAS CURED OF CONSUMPTION
Clergyman Declares That His Health
Is Completely Restored. An
Interesting Case. |
A clergyman of Chicago declares
he is cured of consumption.
Open air treatment and tubercu-f
lin are said to have restored the
health of Rev. Morten Culver Hart
sell after he was convinced he would
die of tuberculosis. g
Four months ago, when his church
gave him leave of absence to prepare
for an operation, it was discovered
that he was affected seriously with
tubercular germs. Physicians told
him his chances of recovery were
slim, and he made up his mind to
prepare for the endr*
Dr. William E. Quind and Dr.
John B. Murphy planned to operate
in the hope of saving his life, but it
was found upon a second examina
tion that the organs were so badly
affected that an operation would be
fatal.
Largely as an experiment Dr.
Murphy advised the use of tubercu
lin. Mr. Hartsell began taking it in
small quantities—two drops a day—
and then increased the quantity one
drop a week until after three weeks
‘his fever began to diminish and his
strength to return.
- Meanwhile he adopted the open
air treatment, and although scarcely
able to walk he played a few holes
of golf daily.
| I attribute my recovery,” says
| Mr. Hartsell, ‘““to the use of tuber
culin. I believe it would be a great
laid in cutting down the number of
deaths from tuberculosis. At first
it was given in doses too large. With
smaller doses I believe it is exceed
ingly effective.”
“Mr. Hartsell’s case is the first of
its kind I have ever seen get well,”
declared Dr. Quinn. “There are
cases like his in literature, but I have
not known of them personally. His
chances were small, indeed. I didn't
think he would get well.”
HIS LAST CURTAIN CALL.
Noted Actor of the Old School Leaves
) the Stage for Eternity.
Carl Arendt, a noted actor, and
for several months a member of
James K. Hackett Company, has died
at Greenville, Miss., of pneumonia.
Mr. Ahrendt was recently taken ill
at Atlanta after a performance of
Mr. Hackett’'s company, and left that
city in Mr. Hackett's private car. He
was placed in a sanitarium at Green
ville, where he died.
Carl Ahrendt had played with
Forest, Booth, McCullough and eoth
ers of the old school of great actors.
He served throughout the civil war.
During Mr. Cleveland’s first adminis
tration Mr. Ahrendt represented the
United States as consul to Berlin.
He was a splendid linguist, and was
extremely popular among German-
Americans in Baltimore.
OKLAHOMA CUT OUT “HON.”
People of That State Oppose Titles
for Lawyers and Politicians.
The Oklahoma house of represent
atives has decided to eliminate the
words ‘‘honorable’” and ‘‘representa
tive’” when referring in the house
journal to members of the legislature.
The radical dominant element in this
new state is opposed to the free use
of titles, especially of ‘“‘honorable,”
by lawyers and politicians in general.

§2,526,089 ON FORESTS
Uncle Sam Proves the Value of
the Forestry Department.
A GREAT INCREASE IN TIMBER
What Has Been Accomplished Is
Shown by the Annual Report Just
Published. Some Interesting Facts
and Figures Bearing on This Work
of the Government. Nearly 2,000
Persons Employed in Carrying on
the Work.
WASHINGTON.—Listing receipts
and expenditures and explaining
them in plain English much as a
railroad president reports to his
board of directors, Gifford Pinchot,
forester, has just made a retrospect
of the work of the United States
Forest Service for the fiscal year
1908.
For the administration and protec
tion of the 182 national forests in
seventeen states and territories and
Alaska the government spent $2,-
526,098.02, or about one and one
half cents an acre. Permanent im
provements, including the construc
tion of 8,400 miles of trails, 550 cab
ins and barns, 600 miles of pasture
and drift fences, 250 bridges and 40
miles of fire lines cost $592,169.19.
Telephone wire to build approximate
ly 400 miles of additional lines was
shipped to the forests, but with the
funds available before the close of
the year the work of construction
could not be completed. Some of
this work was done on each of the
forests in the United States.
During the past year the grazing
fees and permits for special uses of
forest resources amounted to $l,-
842,281.87, an increase of $271,-
222.43 over the 1907 figures. The
per acre receipts from the national
forests were a little more than one
cent, less than five mills under the
per acre cost of administration and
protection of the forests.
The amounts paid the states and
territories, to be expended for roads
and public schools, from the year’s
receipts amounted to $447,063.79.
Chiefly because of increasing the
revenue to the states rrom 10 per
cent. in 1907 to 25 per cent. last
year there was a total increase of
$294,031.62 in the amounts payable
to the states.
In addition the national forests
vielded heavily to the public in free
use. There were 30,714 permits
granted for the free use of timber
by settlers, schools and churches dur
ing the year, against 17,399 in 1907.
The number of board feet used in
this way by the public amounted to
131,582,000, valued at $168,720,
compared to 63,000,000 feet, valued
at $75,000 in 1907.
The aggregate of free use of the
forests for grazing can not be exact
ly known, since no permit is required
to be taken out, and there is there
fore no record preserved. It added
perhaps 10 per cent. to the amount
of stock carried by the forests. Set
tlers living on or adjacent to the
forests, and prospectors, campers and
travelers in them "are allowed to
graze free up to 10 head of milk
cows, work animals or horses in use,
and purchasers of timber and stock
men on the forests are given the
'same privilege for the horses needed
in their work. In Arizona and New
Mexico milk goats to the number of
30 may be grazed free in place of
milk cows.
The grazing receipts for 1908
were $962,829.40, and were paid by
the holders of 19,845 permits to
graze 1,382,221 cattle, horses and
hogs, and of 4,282 permits to graze
7,087,111 sheep and goats. Re
ceipts of $849,027.24 from timber
sales were paid by approximately 5,-
189 purchasers, who cut the equiva
lent of 392,792,000 board feet of
timber. The receipts from special
uses amounted to $30,425.23 and
were paid by 2,065 permittees.
The year’s receipts represent
profitable use of the forests by some
30,000 individuals or concerns, in ad
dition to more than 30,000 getting
free use of timber and other re
sources. About one-fourth of all the
timber cut from the national forests
was under free-use permits.
The purpose of this free-use privi
lege is to make the forests contribute
most effectively to the public wel
fare. The timber given to individ
uals is given for the development of
the country through settlement.
The total receipts from timber
sales each year since the national
forests have been under the adminis
tration of the forest service have
been as follows: 1905, $60,136.62;
1906, §5240,013.49:. 1907, S6ES.
813.12; 1908, $849,027.24.
At the end of the last fiscal year,
when business was heavier than at
any other time during the year, the
182 national forests were cared for
by an executive and protective force
of 29 inspectors, 98 forest supervis
ors, 61 deputy supervisors, 33 forest
assistants, 8 planting assistants, 941
rangers, 521 forest guards and 88
clerks.
About 700,000 trees were planted
last year on forests in the states of
Nebraska, Kansas, Colorado, New
Mexico, Arizona, Utah, Idaho and
California. There are now growing
at the planting stations over 2,200,-
000 trees which will be ready for
planting in 1909. Sufficient seed was
sown in the spring of 1908 to pro
duce 4,600,000 seedlings.
Besides administering the national
forests the forest service renders,

AUTOMATIC FIRE KINDLER.
Open Draft on the Kitchen Range at
Prearranged Moment.
Who shall be first out of bed these
cold mornings to build the kitchen
fire? This Kknotty problem has
caused innumerable family squab
bles between wife and husband.
Each insists that the other shall do
it, while both desire to take another
wink before arising, especially if the
thermometer hovers around the zero
mark.
Both can now be relieved of this
disagreeable but nevertheless essen
tial task of equipping the range with
an automatic apparatus invented and
patented by a Texas man. It is con
nected to a small clock, the latter
being set to the hour when it is de
sired to start the fire.
At the prearranged moment a
spring releases a balance weight,
pulling a chain attached to the levet
controlling the draft. The latter is
thus opened, causing the fire to come
up and be ready for cooking when
the housewife reaches the Kkitchen.
The apparatus is also arranged to
kindle a new fire should such we
wanted. A number of matches are
secured in a plate in front of the
open grate. When the lever is re
leased the matches are caused to ig
nite, the flames readily reaching the
paper in position in the range. X
GIVES PATIENTS PIG'S BLOOD.
Doctor Discovers It Is Valuable in
Curing Consumption.
Pig’s blood medically prepared, is
of the highest value in the cure of in
cipient tuberculosis, according to an
announcement made Thursday by
Dr. Daniel E. Ricardo, lecturer on
gynecology and surgery in the Post
Graduate Medical College of Chi
cago.
Ox blood or cow blood also is
good, according to the physician, but
he places the highest value on pig’s
blood because the latter contains a
much higher percentage of hemo
globin—the red part of the red blood
corpuscles.
By experiments carried on inde
pendently Dr. Ricardo said he had
arrived at the same conclusion as
Dr. R. C. Rosenberger of Jefferson
College, Philadelphia, that tubercu
losis first manifests itself in the
blood of the patient. Establishing
it as a fact that tubercular bacilli
first are found in the blood before
they attack the tissues of the lungs
and other parts of the body of small
resisting power Dr. Ricardo set
about experimenting, with a view to
discovering a cure.
The results of the experiments
were that ‘““blood foods” were found
to have great curative powers. “‘lm
poverishment of the blood,” Dr. Ri
cardo said, ‘“‘is the first symptom of
tuberculosis.”
“There is no longer any doubt that
tuberculosis starts in the blood,”
said Dr. Ricardo. “I have treated
from forty to fifty cases in Chicago
in the last three years, and I am
convinced of it. At the same time
I have experimented with a view to
discovering a cure for the incipient
stage of the disease.”
POISONED BY BITING OYSTER.
This Society Woman’s Tongue Won't
‘ Wag for a While at Least.
Mrs. Richard Stockton, a member
of the smart set of Trenton, N. Jss
is speechless following an operation
for blood poisoning of the tongue,
the result of biting on a bit of shell
while eating raw oysters. At pres
ent she communicates with her fam
ily and nurses by means of a writing
pad and pencil.
Mrs. Stockton met with her mis
hap about ten days ago. Her tongue
was only slightly lacerated, and no
attention was paid to the injury.
Later, however, the member became
inflamed, and then it grew rapidly
worse.
A small part of the tongue was re
moved. Since then the poisoning
has been arrested and the wound is
now healing.
TEMPERED WITH MERCY.
This l’oiice Court Judge Has a Heart
Big as a Peck Measure.
Police Judge Levine of Cleveland
believes in tempering justice with
mercy. The other day there was be
fore him for trial a woman who con
fessed to having stolen a few pounds
of old railroad iron, which she said
she sold to get bread for her babies—
three in number. The railroad com
pany declined to withdraw the charge
against the woman and insisted that
she be punished. The judge there
upon sentenced her to the workhousq
for thirty days, the sentence to have
effect as soon as somebody volun
teered to take the babies and sup
port and care for them while the
woman was in prison. He declined
te consider the punishment .of the
babies because their mother had
stolen a few cents’ worth of old iron
to get them necessary food.
