HUH Ailaaia should set Its fare In that direction NOW. Our Street Car System Grows Considerate. Tbe Georgia Railway anti Electric Company Is to b« congratulated ard commended upon (be good policy of establishing a department or public ity. One of the thlnga of which we have complained In time paat has been the silence that was almost Insulting which these great corporations, (team and electric, bare maintained toward the pleas, complaints and Inquiries of the public which supported them. The Pennsylvania, flrat of American railroads, was also the flrst to recog nise the good sense of fairer and frank er dealings with the public, and Its department of publicity, presided over, by the way. by Ivy W. Lee. au Atlautjt man. lias had a moat wholesome effect upon the attitude of the public toward the corporation. Other great systems have seen the good results of the plan, and today nearly arery progressive corporation has Its department of publicity which gives out Information, answers ques tions. and satlaflei the public as far su possible upon the questions of In terest and importance. Of course, nobody Is foolish enough to believe that the Georgia Railway aud Electric Company's new depart ment will tell alt the things the peo ple would like tt> know, or satisfy all the complaints that may be made. Hut it la at least a commendable and en joyable advance to have some one to whom the public can go to unbosom themselves and be “Jollied" and reas sured and comforted with tba promise nf reparation and better tblngi to come. For tbls act of good sense and good spirit, we are indebted to the contpaity. Bon Voyage. As the governor-elect or Georgia take* hie departure for a brief and well-earned rest in trans-Atlantic trav el. let ua speed him with the good w isbea of a people who lay great store by bis health, and count happily and hopefully upon Us safe return. Hoke Smith carries more of Geor gia's future history within bis vigorous personality than moat men understand. He seems "called to the klugdom" for this especial time of great movements and of gTeat tvenlt. At be watches tha rudder and belm of tha great abtp that bears hint amid Atlantic storms. 1st ns hope that his -nlrit will catch the Inspiration and -'eadfastneii of responsibility for the winds and the waves which he will buffet on his later voyage with uur ship of state. The Benevolent Elks. When the Elks move to charity they move on broad and liberal lines. Tt is probable that outside of Ma sonry no organisation In America gives mote frequently and more geaer- oasly to the relief of poverty and suf fering than the really Benavoltnt and truly Protective Order of the Klks. The work of their hands la estab lished upon thorn and the poor and unfortunate have learned long since to look upon tba order as their friend. Tha Elks distribute thousands of dol-1 lars every year In Atlanta In enlighten-, -'d and discriminating charily. For ihls thoy do not tax the public, but raise the money among .themselves, i They are asking now the public to 1 - ipport than In the raising of a fund j »< • which eTery half dollar that the In ! vidua! pays will be given back in ■full measure of enjoyment, fun and I royal road to charity, for you give ; laughter. They are planning four ben-1 without knowing It. , t-St performances In public which are j The record of the Elks In good : each more than worth the price paid ; works Is their best appeal to the cor- for admission. The Elks' way is the dial support of the public. THE CHICAGO BALLOT VINDICATES MUNICIPAL OWNERSHIP. We trust that The Constitution will noi attempt to discourage the mil itant movement for municipal ownership of lights and power In Atlanta by . any deductions drawn front tb'e recent election in Chicago. Chicago has nothing to do with the case. So far a* Chicago Is con cerned her real victor}’ l« already won. The tight for municipal ownership In that city has borne Its magnificent and practical fruits, and the status established by the election of Tuesday Is. it glory and a strength to the general prindpla upon which It was achieved and the principle which w«v advocate in Atlanta today. The tight for municipal ownership has wrung from the street car In terests a proposal to operate upon a revocable license; to pave, clean, re pair and sprinkle the streets they use; to give universal transfers; to spend from $40,000,000 to $50,000,000 In Improvements, extensions and slbwayi; to pay 55 per cent of their net profits to the city, or. If the peo ple prefer, to reduce fares to the same extent. In addition to tbls the city reserves the right it any time to buy out the business for not more than $50,004,000. plus what the company shall have expended In Improvements, ordered or approved by the city's experts. Huraly If municipal ownership baa won any nobler victory in Its agita tion than this tt Is more than vindicated In the judgment of the people. And these magnificent concessions, mark you, were all won by the ag itation for municipal ownership and the demonstration (bat the people were In favor of putting It Into execution. l-et ns establish this fact Id Atlanta In the matter, at least of lights and power just now. and when It becomes evident tbat the people are aroused and united, and omnipotent as they always are when they are aroused, and united, we shall speedily tee how fast and how' far the corpo rations who control these commodities will gallop up to the municipal office and make auch terms as the people demand and ask. It is difficult to see how the people could have secured any better terms or better conditions than those which their determination and In telligence have plucked from the most obstinate and autocratic corpora- lion In Chicago. v And it Is easy to see how the people In Atlanta'can win Just such a victory Just whenever they make plain that they know what to do and In tend lo do it. Municipal ownership Is simply vindicated and glorified by the Chicago election. A RATE EXPERT FOR THE STATE. In the inldit of the many and complicated questions with which the iieople have now to deal In connection with the railroads, It Is becoming more and more'evident that In these matters the stale will require an es pecial expert whose mission It will be to figure Jvlth the railroad experts upon all matters of freight and passenger rstes and to see that the state's end Is held level In any line that Is drawn between the corporations and the people. Railroad commissions and private business bodies have complained for some years tbat whenever they come to a face to face dlscussldn with the railroads upon a question of the justice of certain rates and tha ca pacity of the railroads to prosper under them, that the experts who rep resent the corporations figure so plausibly and so logically as to make It appear that the corporation would be thrown into bankruptcy with a few months' trial of the policy which the state has demanded at the hands of the corporation. The commissions and the business bodies go away from such confer ences fully Impressed with the fact that they are still right but that the figures are against them, and they have come to believe that one of the strategic points lu their contests for the future Is to have a rate expert' representing the state, and not necessarily trained by the railroads, whose duty It shall be to post himself upon the facts and to figure ss clearly and aa accurately as do those coriiorate accountants and masters of the theme. Some of the states already have an official of this type. And the work which has been done by blui has more thau vindicated the wisdom of his training and the price paid for hla services. The state of Georgia needs just such an official now. This need Implies no criticism of the very capable member of the state commission who was at one time a freight and passenger ageut of the railroad. Conditions have changed, methods have been advanced since that time, nnd nn expert knowledge of freight and passenger traffic Is now and ought to he more and more a distinct and profitable business In Itself. * Tha state of Ohio has had such an'expert for a number of years and the people have been greatly pleased at the value of his work. They see aud believe that his services are iudispenaable and that they come near er to putting the people upon an equality with the great .transportation lines than almost any other force In our economic organization. This Oblo stale expert is In Atlanta today In consideration of the state's csss against the Georgia railroad. The Georgian wishes we could keep him here, or another like hint. We feel sure that it would pay the state of Georgia to secure the services of such an official here aud now. And more especially at this time when we are drawing near to a practical conference and considera tion of a reduction of passenger and freight rates. In advance-of an appropriation by the summer session of the legisla ture, we believe (bat a sum could be raised from the ranks of the shippers and the producers generally to pay a temporary salary for such an expert whose presence would save the commission so much of time and trouble and equip them with so much of accurate and valuable Infoi nation In the teforra which they are settlug out to establish In our transportal Ion sys tem. A FAITHFUL SERVANT'S FUNERAL. On this Thursday afternoon there goes to the cemetery at Oakland a proceuloiwthat typifies a phase,of the old South which Northern people have never been able to appreciate or eten to understand. Among our funeral noticea today Is one which records the death of Mary Webstar, for 40 ytara the aervaut of Mrs. Samuel Meyer, of Atlanta. For 40 years tbls faithful woman has been a distinct and definite member of the kle.ver family. She has nursed every child of the household front babyhood to manhood and to the last day of her life watched over them with an almost maternal care. She baa been to them a second mother In her fidelity. In her patience. In her Intelligent devotion and in her wise co-operation with the mother of this family In every reasonable disci pline and wise precaution. Outside of the attention giveu to the children, this Southern house hold has been at all times under the almost joint control of the mother and the faithful servant. The keys have been In her bends through all these years, and In time of sickliest or absence tbe entire direction of the household has been in tbe dlicretlon and judgment of tbe faithful slave and of the equally faithful free woman. No act for 40 years has destroy ed tbe confidence of this family towsrd Mary Webster in any relation which tbe bore to them. And it Is doubtful If in ell this time there has been a noticeable dif ference In the kindness and consideration which these typical Southern people bive exhibited toward this faithful woman and tbat accorded to tbe aeparate members of tbe femlly. As she hes been true and kind and faith ful to them, so they have been true and kind and faithful to her. They have nursed her to sickness, they have respected her In hegltb, and today, after 49 years of service, she pastes for the flrst time beyond tbe care and affection ol title family when she goee to her own private lot in Oakland cemetery, where she will have an honored aud respected grave. More than this, the four boyt of the Meyer family now grown to u*<- ful and effective manhood, all of them occupying positions of trust aud confidence lit Atlanta, will act as the pill bearers of tbls faithful negro wo man on her last journey from their home. And never In their lives will these accomplished eons have done a gentler or more appropriate service than when they carry to the grave this faithful and useful woman tint ed to all tbe memories from youth, to manhood. Southern people who read this story w ill see In It nothing tba* I? strange or out or the common run. The Northern people who were net raised in thin environment can scarcely understand the tic that binds tbe old Southerner to the hid slave element ef tbe race In a relation which, however much it has been magnified by fanatics and distorted by faction. was a relation of ntutuel care and mutual consideration and o' mutual af fection In every Southern home. Never for ac Instant did thla faithful woman overstep the bounda ry that marked tbe real division of equality between tbe races. And yet In tbat Infinite tact of the old regime she lived on her aide of this line as tranquilly, as happily and as heartily as the mistress of the household and her sods lived In mutual consideration and kindness upon theirs. One by one we are laying away these old and venerable link.: tbat bound the races-to the only relation in which they were ever formed to llvfi. IMMIGRATION. To the Editor of The Georgian: In Tha Atlanta Journal of March J4, 1107. appeared an article on Immigra tion by Bishop W. A. Candler, and be- ceuee of the vlewe expressed by hint snd the wide circulation given them together with the great Importance of the question, some refutation or com ments on his statements may be help ful. , The object In view Is to get laborers to till the lands In the South on an Intensive scale, end as our own farm labor, black and while, peem Incapa ble of doing this. It Is Imperative that we get the kind of labor who have been raised up under-a system which de mands the best use of every acre cf land. I There are thousands of acres of land In Georgia which will forever be ‘in eyesore In the light of day If we are to depend upon our present labor to change It. The gentlemen who are endeavoring to help In this matter are trying to save the property qf the people In Georgia from confiscation by Idleness end taxation. These worn out lands are being slowly confiscated by the state, by a system called taxation, and unless some way be devised to save them through use the present owners end their children will all die paupers. If every Idle person In the state were to go to work on these abandoned lands, they would not touch the hun dredth part of them. The state of Georgia, under a proper tillage system, could sustain for -til time a population of twenty-five mil lion people, and comfortably and un crowded at that. If Bishop Candler only had a lot of this Idlo land and saw it being slowly taken away from him by the stealthy processes of taxes and the profit sys tem In railroads, merchandising and manufacturing, would he wait until he could find some good, healthy, native- born Methodists to tilt It? But he writes as follows: "Generally speaking, foreigners who get their con sent to forsake kindred and friends and native lend in order to secure gain In another country are not the beat of their nation before they migrate, and the migration doee net Improve them." This Is rather severe on our fore fathers who came to the United States, and Is not calculated to enthuse us, their descendants. He has, 1 think, unwittingly, said mote than he meant about our fore fathers. for they did get the land .from the Indians, by a process not exactly In accord with the ejlilca of the Ten Commandments and of the Methodist faith. And when wo come to the point of upholding our pretensions to being civilised and a Christian people, we mutt get out of the dilemma In some way. Perhaps the best way Is for the com mon element of us to agree with tho groat agnostic Bob Ingersoll. who said: "The best thing that we can say about our forefathtrs Is, that they are dead.” The bishop, not being In a position to Indorse Bob, will have to find some other way out. The bishop hits ex plained why we kicked George the three time out of our turnip patch; he was too foreign for us foreigners. The bishop gets out as follows: "I would not be understood os opposing the coming of foreigners to our coun try. "My position Is that we should nel liter prevent foreigners coming among us nor seek by artificial Inducements to move them to come. I.et them come on their own motion, and enough of them will come, and come soon enough both for their good and ours." Here the good bishop reverses him self. This time they can come for their good and ours, provided they are not artificial foreigners, but are gen uine foreigners. Like the bishop. 1 pin opposed to tbe artificial, but heartily In favor of the genuine. To my tnlnd, a Chinaman with hi* tall cut off la a horrible sight. The genuine foreigner Is the one our immigration society Is after, end not the artificial kind. Ilk* our forefathers, who came here for gain and to rob the Indians. Further he writes: ."When, however, they come among us to make money out of us, and we in turn urge them to come In order that we may make money out of them, a bed combination Is made that bodes no good for them or ue.” Thla Is the milk In the nut. Do ne not employ native labor now, and hold out to It the Idea uf making money out of ue, end I* It not our ob ject to make money out of them? Is not this ths rule and the Idea In Geor gia. amongst us home-made foreigners: If It Is not bed to employ native labor on the basis which we do. how- can It be bed with the foreigner? As to 8und*y and whisky: The foreigner I* an angel compared to our own na tive folks, except as to beer, which Is not as bad as whieky. perhaps. There never was and never will be prohibition under capitalism. Then the negro problem Is an objection. It lias to be settled first. I thought It was settled by Mr. Smith end Tom Watson. One of their.adherents states that the legislature following the two gentlemen named are going lo put the negro** back on the farms as slaves, and es tablish a constabulary force to keep them there, end make them work a* they did before the war and under the same conditions, and everybody op posed to this Is to be run out of Geor gia or be ku-kluxed. Of couiae this settles the question nf Immigration, for In thla age. foreigners will' hardly wlah to compete with a condition which gives the master all. and the laborer nothing bet religion and a shroud. To re-man old Noah's ark and ram and sink the battleship Georgia with It, no Immigrants are needed. W. A. JOHNSON. Atlanta, Oa., March :■>. BRYAN AND RAYNER. Army-Navy Orders MOVEMENT OF VESSELS.

MOST POPULAR GEORGIA PAPER, To the Editor of The Georgian: I see from today's Issue of your pa per that the report of Messrs. Hall & lllges, the experts employed by At lanta's municipal ownership commit tee. fully Justifies the position of The Georgian taken in the Interest of the people for cheaper lights by the only means of municipal ownership, These popular stands, championing the people's interests, have made The Georgian the most popular paper of the day 1n Georgia, and It is singular that other Important dallies are not as enthusiastic or, at least, mure Inter ested In this subject, whlcp means so much to the people of so large a city. Right on top of this disclosure come* that guardian of the public's welfare, Dr. Longlno, who now sees that the supposed conipetllton of electric lights is about to turn out to be a myth. This makes It so much more fortunate that The Georgian has the people's fight Tor municipal ownership so well under way. What would Atlanta do without The Georgian and Dr. Longlno and a few Others? These are questions that will become mote and more serious and Impera tive with the growth of Atlanta, and why not puah the question to a final conclusion before any more city con tracts are made? The Georgian can lead the voters and the voters will gladly aupport The Georgian, whether other papers Join the fight or not. C. J. HOLLINGSWORTH. Thomaslon, Ga., April 3, CRITICISING MUTUaI FIRE COMPANIES. the tbe approaching meeting of f eaeral assembly, tbe writer thinks ■ — ... .me opportune tu rail attention to the existing law* of lieurgl* regarding mutual lire Insurance companies. Tbls Is n question of particular Interest to tbe horde of properly owners In Ih* country districts and small towns of tbls stale.

I say with out fear of successful contradiction tbat tbe major portion of these companies are organised for tbe purpose nf fraud, with no Intention whatever of paring their losses. The writer has known of many Instances where losses hsre been sustained under oite of these "mutual" concern's policies-- and never yet has he hears! of a single dollar being paid by them to the assured. Oily a few weeks ago. la this elry. a lots was sustained under the potley of n com pany located at Havanuab.

The company Ins,' cousisien'ly refuted to eten answer his let ters. I doubt his ever collecting a nollsr of his 1X0) Insurance. What rcourse has this assured to tbe courts?
