Subject to a kind of disease, whicli at times they called lack of money.— Rabelais. Special to The News. Atlante, Dec. 14.—There will be no Christmas pardons in Georgia this year—that Is prspctlcally none, granted merely out of sympathy and because it is the holiday season. Governor John M. Slaton Is as human and as tender hearted as any other official, but the fact that he is in office for only sixty days, and at that only as acting governor, has led him to believe that he should be extremely conservative in the exercise of the pardon yower. He will grant no pardons, it is under stood, unless there la some very spec ial and imperative reaMn therefor. CHRISTMAS TREE FOR STRIPLING CHILDREN.

C., Dec. 14.—Hon. M. L. Shipman, commissioner of labMr and printing, has completed the “trades chapter of his 1911 report. The act creating the departpiest con templated only the collection ofvinfor- mation upon the subject of lM>or, its relation to capital, the hours of labors the earnings of laboring men and wo men, their educational, moral and finan cial condltiony and the best means of promoting th^r mental, material, so cial and moral prosperity. But a slight departure from the general cfndltion affecting wage-eamers, in a broad sense of the term, is shown in the compilation of Information obtained from the correspondents who .are en gaged in the various “trades” tiiem- selves. But for the continually Increasing cost of living it might be said that the condition of the persons employed in what are known as the trades show a very satisfactory state of afhiirs. The cotton mill industry Is perhaps the only one where there Is lack of normal em ployment. During the last year the depression in the markets for this class of goods has been so acute that numbers of mills have run'on. short time, while still others have been clos ed down for periods of more or less duration. In the building trades there has been a notic^ble improvemest over last year, ain«.the demand for various manufactured articles entering into the construction of these l^nildlngs has been stimulated to such an extent as to benefit other lines. The class commonly known as day laborers have also been, supplied al most continuously with. emplojonent. Many of these are employed In excar vating, handling .and. hStUl^g of mate rial, and the numberless unclassiiKed duties of helpers to the skilled labor ers. Street and steam .railway con St ruction, .hydro^ectric development to say nothing of the endless oppor .tunity for farm employment, have opened the way for almost all able- bodied men, of whatever degree of capability for steady employment. The cities and towns are still over run with vagrants, mostly negroes. For some reason that we are unable to lo cate, too little is being done to re duce the evils of this condition. Sumnr^ary.

TO ELIMINATE “FOOL GRADUATE” Tbpeka, Kan., Dec. 14.—The elimina tion of the *“fool graduate” is the plan of the Kansas educational com mission, which is holding a session here. The commission has instituted an educational survey of the state and is finding out all about cost and effi ciency In schools of all classes. “The phrase ‘fool graduate’ is far too popular to be without some basis,” said William Allen White, of Emporia, editor and member of the commission, yesterday. There is a profound feel ing throughout America, and espec ially in Kansas,- that lots of stuff taken on by the child and youth in the guise of education is what lawyers call in competent, irrelevant and immaterial, and not the best of education. “We are getting information to show whether it pays to give the ordinary boy or girl who becames a business man or mechanic or a mpther, a course In higher mathematics and algebra and the geography of Kamchatka, and to neglect «to educate them in the knowledge of trees, grasses, crops and to know the names of the creeks of his towiiship.
