The Georgian is perfectly sincere la Its expressed Intention to aup- l*ort the Isiaa of bonds tor the Improvement of tha wator works and oth er necessary departments of oar pity government. , When the time comes tt I* oar present Intention to definitely end resolutely urge upon tbs people the necessity of providing for this Issue of bonds to meet these necessary Improvements at the present time. Rut The Georgian does not aurender lu right to look at this question as one .of the future as well aa of the present, and to bare aome views of tba fntare policy of tba city government toward the water work* system gad other departments of oar maaieipsl life. Wo do not care to go fully into these views at tha present moment, but wa do deem it both timely and proper that the people should have all the education upon thla question that It Is within our power to collate and to present to them from time to time. Kor today let ua consider some figures. The annual receipts from the water department of the city government by tba records are ft 1 *0,400 every year. The annual expense of operating the water works system in all IU departments Is 1117,000 a year, and this manna Ibat tha water works system pay* Into the treasury of the city ev ery year the net sum of $163,400! c First of all let us pause to comment upon tba magnificent vindica tion which these figures make of the theory of mualfdpel ownership. In many cities of the country where the water works are operated by pri vate parties, we only know what the water as doled out by the corpora tion eosu the city and the citizens. We do ant and will never know the profit which the corporation puta Into Ha pocket from the operation ot the water works, although we can derive an Idea from these figures from our own system. Now be It understood that this Is the only department of our govern ment which la under the ownership of tha city, and therefore the only de partment which lllastratea and vindicates the theory of municipal owner ship- We do not believe that euy cltlxen who read* the splendid balance will fall to realise that the theory for which The Georgian contends la mag nificently vindicated In the only department Is which the experiment baa over been made by our people. i - . We have not at band the exact figures to present to the |>eople, but we are enabled to say without fear of successful contradiction that the yearly profits from tba water department of the elty government since Its passage into the hands of the municipality, If applied to Its affairs, has mere than paid every dollar of tha bonded Indebtedness Incurred for Its purchase from the beginning. We say more than this. Thla water de partment whleh has cast the elty about $500,000, and which In practical flguree has completely and abeelutely paid for itaalf, le now worth by the standard of Its earning capacity about 17,000,000 to the elty of Atlantal And thla. mark you. la tha shining object Iceatm which we present to thinking people of the sanity and the reaaooablenei* of tbo theory of mu nicipal ownership which Tha Oaorglan baa persistently advooated. The people will not bo surprised to know that these figures are not welcome to the corporations, personal and otherwise, which oppose munici pal ownership In Atlanta. We may be sure that It la to their Interest to mpprwa these figures whenever possible and when not possible tO flim- press them, to so mix them with the reports and receipts ol other depart ments as to leave the people In Ignorance of the value and of tbe wisdom of municipal ownership aa illustrated In this (Ingle department which rep resents It In uur municipal government. Now ir any cltlten of Atlanta can read the history and study the figures of tbe water department with all Its faulta and errors without be coming a convert to the theory of municipal ownership, we will not be able to understand the structure of the brain and Judgment of the citizen who la not reached by the practical argument or the common aeuse which tt maintains. We are not prepared at this time to formulate the exact method In which It can bo done, but In the habit which we have always had and which we propose to maintain, ot conversing freely and naturally with the people upon our affairs or common Interest, ft occurs to ua that we ought to be able to devise at some time Id the future a plan by which the water department shall take care of tbe affairs of the water department, be fore Its splendid revenues are diverted to other departments of our city government. Lot ua suppose, for Instance, that out. of this 1163.000 and more, which (he. water forks smrn net- every yeer, that 6100.000 was aet qpirt <iol*shofc£jlrd^ to tba baba alary improvements aqd additions In ihdt'rfeilnrttngsl fiidvottfig what was left over to Improvements In other needed 0*p*rtni*»lso(HHt elty governmon, . J The remainder would be a generous contribution to the necessities of our municipal government In this direction. But the value to tbe citizens would be that In .this department In which the city was supreme, we kept It perfect, by Its own earning ca pacity. And we would so Illustrate the value of city sovereignty to the Individual, and that tha surplus of Its earnings went to our other depart mental necessities a» a gift from the revenue earning capacity of munic ipal ownership In the water department. This la tajr. It la twasonable. It la Just, Tha cltiiens who have voted thla department undar their own control are entitled to this object lesson of the wisdom ot their public policy, and we believe that It the In terested hands ot thou who oppose thle wholesomo and effectlva theory could be lifted from our affairs long enough to give currency to this policy, the people of Atlanta, educated by actual facta and practical ohject les sons. would take under their own control other departments and other public ntllttlee and work out with them a result equally aa beneficent and equally aa profitable at tbeee figures demonstrate the water works to be. This Is tbe line of safely. It Is the line of common sense. It le the line of public economy and It Is the line of lower taxes for the people of Atlanta In the years to come. Will the people reflect upon these figures soil upon these facte and units their civic wisdom and their civic patriotism In the ballots which are to shape the policies and the prosperity of the future? HEARS!'8 MOVE FOR EURE ELECTIONS. I: Aa usual when William Randolph Hearat goes out after a public evil, he goes directly, forcefully and to the point, without hesitation and with out any waste of word* or any apology to tha powers that be. Now that It la all over, definite Democrats everywhere agree that there was more direct force and point In the Hearat railway regulation bill than In the Davey bill or tbe Each-Townaend bill, tbe measure finally irasaed by tbe senate and the house. And now when Mr. Uearst goes out to strike a direct blow at corrupt practices In elections, he goee straight to the point and Is aa definite In hie attack as he Is In his suggestion of a remedy. Mr. Ilearet'e bill Just Introduced In congress to prevent corrupt prac tices In federal elections, goes right to the heart of the subject and strikes a direct blow at the corrupt use of money In general election*. Two new and sweeping provisions cover the point. One of theae provisions not only defines the giving or receiving of Inducements affecting a vote an election primary or convention, to be bribery and makes It a felony imnlshable by Imprisonment for not more than five years, but It also Imposes a fine ot not more than $10,000 nor lass than 63.000, one-half ot which, together with full Immunity, shall be received by the Informant whose testimony leads to the conviction. A similar provision Is made for false registration and fraudulent vot ing. Another radical, new and far-reaching provision Is one prohibiting tbe use of money lu any way on election day except the iwymont of $3.00 each to the limited number of watches at the polls authorised by law. The Hearat bill goee to tho root of tbe whole evil and kills tho prac-' tlce of thinly veiled bribery under the practice of tbe alleged "worker at the polls” niid (be pretended disbursements for hire of "teams to get the voles.'* Thla bill, If passed with tbe large rusards tor information together with the full Immunity attached, will be calculated to make It extreme ly risky for political boaaes and ward heelers lo deal with tbe smaller election criminals. It la to be hoped that the ' conservative thinkers ' of congress will not emasculate and destroy this bill as they did the Davey Mil. Politics and prejudice and personal venom took the life and vigor out of that vigorous measure and substituted a make shift which only accomplishes lu small measure tbe wishes and necessities of tbe people. The root of all corruption In public life I* the use ot money In elec tions. The evil la not merely the, use of corporate money or the uae ol individual money, bat Um nae of money at all to influence the vote of the citizens on election day. In tbe last New York state election, something over a mUHon dol lars wa* admitted by the Republic an party to have been used in the stats campaign. Of coarse, no man who la scqnalnted with public affairs ba* any Idea that tblr money was spent tor purely legitimate expenses. And, the trend or the tIntel la to make our politics, like everything else, a mare arena tor plutocrat* who uaq their dollar* to shape and control the destinies of the country. The country la once more Indebted to Mr. Hearat for a clear and dell-, nlte measure whoa* Influence should not lie destroyed by tbe Jealousy of rivals or the over timidity of ao-eallel conservative politicians. ADAM10NTB TRIBUTE TO LESTER. Among the notAble and well-deserved tribal** paid to ex-Cougrsaa- ntan Rufua E. Lester, of Georgia, by bit colleagues at tbe recent memo rial service la tbe house of repress natives, we are well pleased with the discriminating and ua gushing eulogy of Representative Adamson, of’ tba Fourth district. Among other things, Mr. Adamson said: "As a legislator, bis court* and oooduct ware moil admirable. II* was void of petty jealousy and envy of hla follow*. Ha was exquisitely considerate of bit colleagues. He wa* cdlm. dignified, and polite Aa Chesterfield, but persistent and Indefatigable In bis Industry, always Intelligent and well ordered. He rarely failed in what be undertook, for ha undertook nothing but what was right and ntver failed to do what wa* necessary to accomplish It when once undertakes. He was willing to do what he could to advance and rise aa hla merit justified, but he realised that tberu were others, and fell'willing rot-them to rise and advance also lie would scorn a personal advantage secured at the expense of a comrade's Interest, dignity, or feelings. Ho worked not alone for himself and the district which elected him. He worked fqr all hla colleagues and for the whole country. Being too great for self- Ishness, he was too broad for sectionalism: too noble tor unfair salf-stggrandliement. he wa* magnanimous enough to rite high above partisanship In discharge of public duty. Nd man In con grats was ever more beloved by hla colleagues, and Ua attributes Inspired hla fellows with each confidence that die was able as a member of the committee on rivers and harbors to secure long- delayed attention to tbe riven and harbors of the Southeast, and prove himself more useful to hi* part of the Union than any mem ber who has corns to congress from that region lb fifty years " Alfred Henry Lewis says he fear* nothing so much as the man who nev er laughs.
