Strikes Ars Rarely Profitable.
We are too sincerely the well wish
ers of the motormen and coaductora of
the street railway aystem not to coun-
ael them against the serious Import
of a strike.
Such an event upsets a community
and work* Injuatlce and Injury to many
innocent people who are themselves
friends and well wlahers to organised
labor. The emergency should be very
great aod the wrongs very pronounced
and unbearable to drive any body of
men to thla organised hostility with
their employers, and tho result In most
Instances Is to the detriment of the
strikers. Of course the right of work
ingmen Is unquestioned to do this, and
there are times when It seems the only
way. but the history of strikes contains
little to encourage the striker.
We trust that the employees of the
street railway will not permit them-
aelvea to be disturbed by tho rumor of
tt.oeo.ooo of watered stock to be added
to the corporation for which they In-
hoc. In this matter the people are ex
pected to pay dlvtdends on this amount
and- It- Is not the cue of the employee
to resent the addition.
Lot us proceed peaceably to the
ballot hoi aa the solvent of every,
thing for which ire have reason to

t THE CHAMBER 0F COMMERCE DIjnOBI.
It would be ungracious for Th*‘Georgian to Interfere 1* the contro
versy pending between the Chamber of Commerce end our esteemed con
temporary of The Journal, and we have no desire or intention to do so.
As n member of the Chamber of Commerce, profoundly Impressed'
with the usefulness nnd Importance of tbat great organisation, we have
at Interest Its continued usefulness gad prosperity. As • cltlxen of At
lanta. bound np In Its life and bapplnasa, wo are also concerned that no
serious Injuries should be don* to either the usefulness or rspnte of
tbat body whleb has been found in Uie pest to be the most effectives-
glne of our municipal progress.
Under tikes* circumstances, without making any personal allusions
whatever to the dramatis personae of thla Interesting controveray. It la
oar simple desire In Impersonal term* to defend the Chamber of Com
merce agslost the charge which may cripple Its Influence and deetroy
Its capacity to serve.
Wo protest most earnestly that the public functions of tho Chamber
of Commerce hare had no tendency which Justifies the charge that they
are bootlicking the railroads or truckling to their policies. -On the contra
ry, we think that a casual review of the public occasions of th* last few
year* fully vindicate the impartiality of th* board In the hearing of pub
lic questions, nnd the signal servlc* It has done In enlightening the com
munity upon grent questions of more than ordinary Intsrest.
Wo offer facts rather than oontentlqp.
The following sr* the principal speakers at notable meetings of
the Chamber of Commerce within the past four years:

SATURDAY EVENING.
The Duka of Wslllngton, looking at the boys In fftelr sports on the
playground at Eton, remarked: “It was there tfiat the battle of Waterloo
was won."
And It la true that the splendid empires which England has founded
in every quarter of the globe have had their origin In the pbytlcal and
moral stamina—In the courage, strength, endurance, pluck and self-reli
ance—learned from tho boat races, the cricket matches and th* football
contests of her noble schools.
Why. then, should got a busy and aspiring race give due and prop
er consideration to the vital theme of Physical Culture.
Our ancient hooks have been full of praise of the midnight oil. Our
orscles of education have urged unsparing study, and It Is only of recent
years that the great and Indispensable science of bodlcultnre baa coma
out of the mists of apathy Into the distinctness of a beneficent reality.
The last few years of better living have wrought a revolution along this
line. * i
We are beginning to see that the body as well as the mind has
‘rights that must be respected. We are learning that It the mind, which
rules the body, ever forget! latelf to far a* to trample on Iti slave, that
the slave will rise and amlte the oppressor In bis pride. W* are learning
everywhere, and In aplte of sporadic exceptions, which merely murk the
rule, that a sound mind must have a sound body, and tbat although tho
palo dyspeptic student may win the prises In college, It I* the strong, vital,
sinewy man who grasps the enduring prises of life.
We dn not forget the exceptions. Paul, ths great npoetle, waa in bodi
ly presence weak. Milton was blind. Paschal was on Invalid. Johnson waa
racked by dtssaae. Nelson was little and lame. Chtnnlng prat frail and
delicate. Julius Caesar bad fits. Suwarrow stdod but live feet one. Pop*
was a hunchback Invalid. Arlatotl* waa a feeble pigmy. And th* world
has rarely presented such a spectacle as In the Netherlands, In 1193,
among the 130,000 soldiers who were marshalled under the banners of
alt Europe the two febieit In body were the hunchbacked dwarf who
urged on tho fiery onset of France, and the asthmatic skeleton who cov-
oifd the slow retreat of England.
list these are exceptions—brilliant exceptions of abnormal and almost
Incxplalnablc mentality— which only prove the general rulo.
Against these phenomenal few are the whole great race of the world's
ronquerore In overy Held of endeavor. That the ktng never die*, nnd that
Brougham, of superhuman endurance, never sleeps, was an axiom In Eng
land. There was Scott with his manly form. There was Franklin at the
mte of 70 camplug as a warrior In the Canada*. There Is Napoleon
sleeping four hours and in the saddle twenty. Burns was an athlete;
Aeschylus a sturdy wurrior. and Chaucer os ready to light aa to ring.
Palmerston, a physical marvel, at fourscore, handling the reins of Eng
lish government with the firm hand of thirty. Gladstone at 90 aa much an
athlete as • statesman. And Washington and John Adams and Andrew
Jackson and the wholo host of the winner* and th* wearers of the
world's crowns have had sound constitutions and well developed bodlet
In which to frame their giant minds.
It Is something more than a witticism to sty that the teat of great
ness Is In tho stomach and not In th* brain. Many a man whose thoughts
. ore dear and whose conclusion! accurate li halted In critical action by
the qualms of a stomach that holds his courago In a alsva, while nmny
a stout fellow with a moderate brain and a noble digestion baa gone for
ward to victory In the sheer magnetism of confldsnco and courage and
good red blood pulsing triumphant In good clear veins, from a soundly
beating heart.
Grover Cleveland looked onre at Hoke Smith's masslvo form and a
•wavering question of n secretary of the Interior waa aettled by a superb
physique. And never In his two administrations did tho only Democratic
president of the quarter century appoint a weak and sickly man to ofllce.
Whatever men may think of physical cxerctae and of the varying forms
of physical development. It Is s fact no longer open lo discussion OgU any
normal man can do twice as much work for twice aa long a time If he
only kttnwa by Die laws of health and Ilfs how to take care of himself.
It la nit well enough to know all about the planets and their estab
lished orbits; but It is Infinitely of more concern to know the value of
good sir and good blood and the best means to get the one Into your
lungs and the other to pro|>er and healthful movement In yonr veins.
The llle of today Is feverish, swift and restless. The mental wear
nnd tear Is Immense. Never before were men devoured by eo Insatiable
an ambit Un nr scourged by so merciless an activity. It Is the pace that
kills. ■' ‘
We need all the force, all the animalism, all the reserved power that
health can give to meet the Joint strain of necessity and opportunity. The
age la so wise and prollgc In methods of physical culture that no one
ran find now an excuse for being feeble Or III.
I<et. then, the man who Is stripping for the race of life count no time
or money lost that will make him strong—tbat will store within him tha
health and stamina to stand the wear and tear, the worry and the fret of
mental endeavorr
No man—n»t a man In a thousand—can win without It—and If he
wins nil nnd loses this, he has lost the capacity to enjoy hie triumph
over time and circumstance.
And no man, whatever he may have hoarded, or whatever he nuy
have achieved, caa enjoy lire and be In health aad happiness ualeaa be caa

“THE JUVENILE STATE."
Following fast upon the energetic canvass which resulted In th* es
tablishment of • State Reformatory for the Young, the same forces ere
now moving with teal and energy toward the establishment In Georgia
of a Juvenile State.
The .plan Is neither new nor undeveloped. This enterprise of noble
pith end moment has been lueeeMfally Instituted and'executed In New
York and other itates.
.The mission of the Juvenile State Is to teach delinquent and mis
directed children the principles of true self-government, to insure to them
justice, preserve peace and foster industry and ter transmit through
them to posterity true liberty Insteed of a heritage of crime.
On another page today The Georgian prints the story of the Juvenile
8tate and comtnenda It to the careful consideration Of right-thinking peo-
pie everywhere.
The place to atop a deadly stream la at Its source, end the time to do
away with crime Is lo the youth of the criminal. It Is both economy and
morals lo do this thing at this time. __ • ‘
In the year of 1900 It coat this country six hundred million doUatg to
arrest, try and punish a hundred thonsand criminals.
This Is a per capita cost of 10,000 for that year. During the same
year there were 16,000,000 children In our schools, which la to.sayl there
wqre 1C* times our criminal population. The entire educational outlay
for 1900 was 9100,000,000, a little more than one-fOurth of what our
criminals coat ua. /
But the most startling contrast appear* In the per capita coat'.—
Each school child costs 911-00 a year! '
Each criminal coals 96.000 a year!
8ur*ly In view of those tremendous and startling figures It la- lima
for this advtnclng and magnificent civilization to catch crime by the
throat In tho beginning of Its career and to train our children right.
Nothing better or more effective along this line baa been discovered
than the Juvenile Elate. The work has been magnificent In other states
and thane are strong men behind It here. Clifford Andereoo, James L.
Anderson, W. W. Landrum, Frank Eastman, of the auditing committee,
have given their strong’and cordial commendation to the work which has
been outlined and faithfully pushed so far through the special Instrumen
tality of Mr. Crawford Jackion and his assistants.
And the same profit that came to us through the establishment of the
Juveulle courts is expected to be doubled and quadrupled through the
establishment of the Juvenile State. (
We direct with special earnastnea* the attention of thoughtful peo
ple to the story of the Juvenile State as published In The Georgian today.
Wa feel sure that Its simplicity. Its plan and Its effectiveness will com
mend themselves to the Judgment and cooperation of the people.
We nhall have more to say of this notable and fundamental enterprise
at another time.
“AFRICANIZING THE MAIL SERVICE.”
The New Orleans TlmcsDemocrat, which la always loyal and nearly
always sound, finds cause for serious difference with the poatofflee de
partment of the government, on account of the tncreaalng tide of African
clerks tbat it lp. pouring Into the mall service.
The Tlmes-Deraocrat has been a thoughtful observer .of these condi
tions for tome time and declares tbat the swarm of negroes whom the
government Is providing for In the mall care not only make* a serious
menace In the way of social equality, but has already deteriorated the
handling of the malls.' The eomment of our contemporary la so Interest-'
lug and so earnest In protest that our strongest Indorsement must rest
In reproducing the editorial with hearty approval. The comment fol
lows:
Unless some means can be found for preventing the railway
mall service from being loaded up with negroes, either every
self-respecting white man will be driven froifi It or It will become
n school of social equality which will undermine the very princi
ples upon which Southern civilisation and white supremacy rests.
It seema useless to look for any relief from the pot to (Bee depart
ment or tho authorities at Washington. Complaints made to them
by the white mall clerks In the West .have, been turned down
bruskly; Indeed. It Is to be feared that certain necrophiles In
power at the capital tea In the postal service an opportunity to -
teach tb* South the lesson of negro equality; and they are ac
cordingly sending out mixed crews of whites and negroes In the '
postal car* so as to compel the whites to accept and come down
to the doctrine of race equality. ‘ It la Impossible to underktand
the rules and regulations otherwlso. On runs wholly through
Southern territory white and negro clerks are sent oat together.
With a single bunk In the ear. the negro sleeps out hla time, then
gets up for work, and the white man turns Into the same bunk
previously occupied by the negro. They eat together, as well aa
sleep together, and bait the time the white man Is under the
control of (he negro.
Whether or not thin arrangement was made by the negrophllei
for tho purpose of driving the white men out of the service and
thus making more places for the negroes It la Impossible to say
with certainty, but there la every reason to believe that this was
the object in view; and the methods adopted are accomplishing
this. The resignations of white clerks are so many under this
pressure that the negroes now eonntitute SO per cent of the mall
clerks on many of tho Southern runs, and arc steadily Increasing
their proportion of the total. They have seised on the chance
thus offered them, and at Tuskegee, Now Orleans, Now Iberia
and other places are postal Institutes whleh make a specialty of
getting negroes through the civil service examination and landing
them In pot tome* positions; and many of these Institutes are ao
wonderfully and Incomprehensibly successful In landing Ignorant
and Illiterate negroes In positions that It would be welt worth
while to Inquire Into their methods.
There are two points to be considered In thla matter—first
the danger to Boulhcrn civilization and society from tolerating
this Insidious social equality propagated through the poatofflee *
department; second, the bad mall service which tho South Is get
ting today because competent and exiiorienced white men are be
ing forced out to make place for negroes, and In nmny cases In
competent or untrustworthy negroes. Shall our postal service
be thus sacrificed In order to cnablo a few radical nogrophlles
to rarrv thnlr nolnl? Wn havn hnrnlflfnm hoan aNU »« An*J.s .it
to carry their point? We have heretofore been able to defeat til
their machinations, but they have found a new and ntrong ally In
the poatofflee department, which, under tho plea that It cannot
keep tho race* apart as they are kept apart In the army, Is Issuing
and enforcing social equality orders.
The senators snd songressmen who represent tho South at Washing
ton will find here an abundant opportunity for.practlcal service In a really
serious emergency.
For the danger Is not more to the social conditions of the South, than
to the postal seiTice whose excellence Is being Impaired by Africanlilng
ths mill cars. ,

YOUNG MAN ON TRIAL
CHARGED WITH ASSAULT.
Richmond, Va.. March 39 —George C.
Andrews, 21 years of age. a former em
ployee of the Virginia Passenger and
Power Company, was placed on trlxl
for his life before Judge R. Carter
Scott In the Henrico county circuit
court, charged with having committed
a criminal assault upon Ira Bane. II
years old. An Important witness, Mrs.
Carrie Gentry, 1s III.
of the big undertaking.
The party left Colon on a special
train; arriving at Qatun. about sight
miles out from Colon, they saw the elt*
for the Qatun dam: then proceeded on
up the line, through the cut, stopping
off at several places to see the machine
shops, etc., and finally arrived In Pan
ama late In the afternoon, where they
at one* cams up to th* Tivoli Hotel for
dinner. That evening at 9:10 o'clock
there waa an Informal reception at the
hotel—an Invitation affair—at which
were present President Amador and
Treasurer Arias, of th* republic of Pan.
ama. the governor of the province of
Panama, the alcalde of the city of
Panama and other prominent men of
the Isthmus. After an hour or so of
mixing, the chairman of th* combined
clubs Introduced President Amador,
who made a short speech, followed by
Treasurer Arias: then came tha call for
a speech from Mr. John F. Stevens, th*
chief engineer, followed by applause
and cheering which continued at least
five minutes before he could begin, and
waa resumed as soon aa he bad finished,
and lasted quite a while.
A crisp, snappy speech waa delivered
by Mr. Ellhu Thomson, of Boston, one
of the founders of th* Thomson-Hous-
ton Electric Company and now on th*
staff of engineers of tha General Elec
tric Company, Mr. Thomson said that
he voiced the sentiment of the party
when he said that they were most sur
prised—amaaed—at tb* thlaga they had
seen—evidences of tha progress that
has been made here; and further, tbat
speaking for himself. he had started
here with hit mlpd rather Inclined to
the sea-level canal proposition: that he
was now absolutely converted to tha
lock-canal—after an Inspection In per
son Of the line of tha canal and th*
conditions her*; that they were able to
see for themsalved* the results of tha
work of preparation which bad been ao
effectively carried out
"We are men of business.'* he said,
“men who era accustomed to looking
at things Ilk* this In a business-like
way: we can't be easily decetved; and
we are thoroughly cowl dent that noth.
Ing cap stop the successful completion
of this canal; It must succeed; It will
succeed.
Mr, Thomson was followed by ex-
Governor David R. Pranda, of Saint
Louis. Governor Francis made a floe
tulk, covered Ms ground fully, though
not at all at too much length; spoke
of the esprit de corps which had been
created by the personality af Mr. John
F. Stevens, and or the rather fallen
spirits of the personnel of the ranal
cone since the announcement, some 49
hours previous, of the resignation of
Mr. Stevens. Governor Francte, either
by design or by accident, certainly
■truck th* popular note In hla compli
mentary references to Mr. Stavena, for
he waa Interrupted time and again by
continued applause.
At about 11 o'clock w* adjourned-to
tha dining hall, where we heard from
Colonel Gorges, chief sanitary officer;
Mr. W. M. Bolding, th* master builder;
Mr. W. Q. Blent, ths general manager
of th* Panama Railroad Company; Mr.
Edward J. Williams, treasurer of th*
canal son*—tbe man we all are glad to
know; Cnlontl Tom H. Cooke, collector
of revenues (Including poatofflee af
faire) on the son*. Colonel Coofke kept
the assembly In a continued good hu
mor and ended by saying that Ut honor
of the visiting gentlemen he had that
night Issued an order to sell thirteen
stamps for a quarter! And last, but
not least. Mr. H. D. Reed, who ha* been

Th* announcement of the resignation
