State Registration for Trained
Nurses.
The trained nurses of Atlanta and
of the state are moving among their
friends to secure the passage of an act
by the next legislature for the state
registration of those engaged In this
profession.
And It would seem upon the most
ordinary reflection a very desirable
thing to do.
There is Just as much reason why
the public should be protected against
quack nurejs aa against quack doc
tors.
When a young woman has gone
through several years of diligent
study and preparation under a corpa
of teachera in a hospital and baa come
out after a thorough examination with
the itamp of professional approval
upon her capacity and character, aha
Is then In a real sense of the word a
trained nurae and tboae who employ
her may do so with a distinct gusran
tee of an Intelligent undemanding of
the very dutlea which belong to her
position. But If from some othar
field there should come a young wo-
man. however honest and sincere, who
had probably spent two or three
months in a hospital, who saw lit to
subscribe herself a trained nurse, tba
public would have no open method of
discriminating between the two and
might at any time be likely to adopt
the untrained and Ineffective nurae tor
one who wai thoroughly competent
and equal to the work.
Bdyond thla It puta a premium upon
study and training on the pert of these
responsible factors of our sick room
llfo to bo protected by lew In the re
sults of tbelr study and preparation,
nnd will induce all of those who aspire
to the position of a nursa to make
such legal preparation and to stand
such legal examinstlon as may be re
quired.
Ilotb for the purpose then of the en
couragement end protection of the
graduate nurse and to protect t the gen
eral public against the spurious nurse
where we now have no means of dis
criminating, It Is deemed best for the
legislature to pats a law requiring a
state registration for nurae* who will
have the right to sign "Registered
Nurse" after thefr names.
And this will make to the patient
the aame difference as being treated
by a legitimate M. D. and a mere man
who carries his saddle bags or his
medicine ease without a license.
Carmack of Tennessee.
There is no doubt that Kdward W.
Carmack la the "favorite sou of Ten-
Defeated. It la true, In the last sen
atorial campaign, the brave and bril
liant publlclit Is only retired for a
time. HI* name baa magic to attract
and hia tongue baa eloquence to charm
the greatest audiences In hla state. He
is bfmself a chivalrous and dashing
gentleman, brave as a lion, handsome
aa Alciblades and eloquent beyond
the rim of mere oratory.
TAnnesaee through all her views is
Justly proud of him and the laurels
in her public life arc waiting aU Impa
tient for hla manly brow.
AS TO GRADY HOSPITAL.
Since open eharjfcfi have been made in couneii in reference
to the conduct of our city hospital, Tlie Georgian feels war
ranted in saying a word in this connection.
There lias been n great deal of comment lately—and some
of it true—that does not reflect credit on the way Grady Hospital
is managed. Some serious irregularities have been charged, and
we have investigated some of the complaints.
The stalT of physicians. including such names as Calhoun,
Klkin, ltaird and others, represents the highest type of South
ern professional citizenship and is too valuable to be annoyed or
' driven from its connection with the hospital; as may happen if
further criticism of the institution is indulged in. Furthermore,
the board of trustees, with such men as Hirseh. Lowry, Lowndes,
Maddox, English and others, is subjected to criticism that is be
ing brought down upon it by causes not within its control.
The seat of the whole trouble is pretty generally conceded
to be mismanagement, superinduced by the fact that the city
does not allow the hospital sufficient funds to employ adequate
management.
Xo personal reflection on Dr. Brewster is intended in this.
Dr. Brewster himself probably realizes that he has more than he
can do. and he should be willing to give way to a younger and
more active management.
Grady hospital is one of our most important city institutions,
tbe last one that should suffer injustice, regardless of. the cost.
Under no-circumstances should further criticism be permitted
without investigation. Some of the complaints come from par
ties whose profession could bias them—physicians and druggists.
Let us have s committee from council that shall cOntaiu no
physicians or druggists, but be made up of men who have no
cause for bias in any way. Under the direction of this commit
tee let us have the entire workings of Grady Hospital gone into,
and Jet the committee he empowered to employ outside expert
knowledge, if necessary, at the city’s expense, and report as to
what is needed To place our grant institution of mercy above re
proach. j
Enough of this childish fear of treading on somebody's toes
while the city suffers. If the boil is there, let’s pick it, and do it
before summer is here. .

TAXING EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTIONS.
In a recant Uaue of The DeKalb New Era Mr. W. F. Pattlllo Contrib
utes a strong and convincing plea against the taxation of Agues Scott
and other college properties by the .action of the grand Jury of that
county.
Mr. Pattlllo is a member of tbe Methodist church and therefore has
no denominational Interest In the Agnes Scott college beyond that of a clt-
lien who realizes Its great vslne both present and future to his county and
to tbe etata. The argument of Mr. Pattlllo Is strong and we regret that
space does not permit ua fo reproduce it here In full.
It Is a serious question which we never yet have settled to the satis
faction of the majority A to whether these educational Institutions
should be taxed. In our Judgment tbe burden of the argument Is against
the proposition to make them pay at this time in material revenues to the
state.
We do not need to pause here to consider the enormous amount of
good which these educational Institutions are doing. The structures that
they are rearing for our homes and for the ctvle places of the state are
of the enduring kind which work themselves Into the warp and woof of our
civilization. No material estimate can be put upon the services of those
great educational Institutions. The young men whom they build up go
out Into the world as creative factor* developing properties. Improving
cities and In time paying larger taxes Into the revenues of the cities or
states In which they live. The homes whose happiness and Influence are
heightened and deepened by the lessons of character aud intelligence
planted—all these are things beyond the compilation of the flnandor and
are not to be written In the sordid dollars of taxes or of mere material
money*.
Beyond Ibis there Is another consideration whfeb seems to be potent
at this time against the present taxation of our educational institutions.
We are yet In an Inchoate state In our Southern schools and colleges.
When we compare our equipment and our receipts with the magnificent
pile* of brick and mortar whlcb behind stately endowments are doing the
educational work of the North, we can realize how far we are yet behind
In the great procession of Intellectual training and development of our
youtb. The time may come when with their debts paid aud with their
equipments perfected these Institutions may begin to pay large revenues
Into tho pocket* of any private Individuals who happen to own them,
liven then it Is a doubtful quostlon whether tbe work they do and the
mission they perform ought not to exempt them from tbe grasp of the
tax gatherer.
But U la certain now that they should be permitted and encouraged
to prosper and to grow strong and to build up their building* snd facul
ties and equipment and every facility of education before the state
reaches out Its hand to demand Its financial tribute from their work.
If the state was very needy and Its civic emergency very great there
would be larger Justification for laying a tax upon to the Institutions
which are building citizens and tax payers for the future.
But In this tlmo of growth and progress and of necessity It would
seem to he a wise, strong policy to collect the taxes somewhere else.
BRYAN’S NOBLE SPIRIT.
Mr. Bryan never shows to greater advantage than upon those occa
sions which touch his magnanimity and his rare unselfish temper.
Tbe real caliber of the man and tbe secret of his marvelous hold upon
tbe people is that moral fibre within him which responds to great sugges
tions and his great capacity to subordinate selfish ambition.
A proposition of a daring and unusual nature was presented to Mr.
Bryan In Chattanooga which Involved the apparent sacrifice of bis own
ambition upon the altar of his party.
A lesser man than the great Nebraskan with the spirit of the partisan
in his veins and the thirst of the office seeker in his heart would have
fiercely protested and perhaps Indignantly repelled the suggestion whlcb
was presented to his mind. Instead of that the Great Democrat rose to
the height of noble contemplation of thq line of conduct which bad been
presented to his view. He was big enough and bravo enough to recognize
tbe sincerity and honesty which moved the suggkstlon, and he right royal
ly paid tribute to tbe courage, tbe Joy ally and the integrity of the man
who made It.
* More than that, he gave serious and thoughtful consideration and ex
tended frank discussion to the startling proposition of present sacrifice for
ultimate triumph, presented to his view, and declared that while he could
not aubscribe under present lights to the proposition presented, be would,
if the matter ever came to his mind with the conviction which had moved
Its expression on the floor of the ban quet hall, put this heroic suggestion
Into execution If It was the last act of his life. Very rarely has Sir. Bryan
paid higher tribute in expression to any man than he paid to the author of
the speech to which he replied.
Nothing that Mr. Bryan could have done or'said could have stamped
him more highly with the Impression of a noble nature and a generous
soul. Men who bate heretofore known and admired the Great Nebraskan
for his transcendent eloquence, for his high Integrity, for bis unbroken con
sistency end for hie masterful life, learned at the Chattanooga banquet to
see him In the new light of noble magnanimity and In the highest and
most unselfish temper in the contemplation of any patriotic plan however
prejudicial to his selfish Interests at the time. Men who had looked at
Mr. Rryan heretofore through the shining eyes of admiration, saw him last
night through misty tears of iioaltlve affection. And The Georgian, whose
representative was there, brings back a higher and a broader conception
nr the absolute sincerity and patriotism of the man whom the Democracy
always deiighteth to honor.
If Mr. Bryan can be elected president of the United States, there Is "no
man in the great rank of our party who we would rather see wear the
chief laurels of tbe state. But whether he can or not, if the party to
which we both belong shall place the commission of, leadership in his
hands this paper la one, which with no dogmatic adherence to previous
expression of belief, with no obstinate clinging to the creeds which seem
to point a batter ond a larger way, will, with utter loyalty, follow his
symbol of leadership even as the Frenchmen In their battles followed th»
white plume M Navarre.

MOVEMENT OF VESSELS.
WILL SPINNERS SUPPORT PRI0ES7
North Carolina. South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, Arkausas and Tex
as have passed laws prohibiting speculation In futures, cotton, grain, pro
visions and stock*. In Tennessee tbe law was defeated, and In Louisiana
transactions In futures are not prohibited.
It la contended by some that speculation depresses the prices of cot
ton, hence the farmers through their sisoclstiont hare requested aud
have been mainly Instrumental in doing away with speculation. Cotton
has at times told below the coat of production while speculation was In
full away. It b#| also sold at fancy prices under the same conditions.
Tbe lowest priced crop was the first bumper crop produced by tbe South.
It.was marketed at a time when the consumptive demand was not equal
to the supply, 1
The speculative elements took advantage of this condition and the
farmer was the loser, large quantities of that crop selling at 5c and below.
Apparently It was tbe lack of consumptive demand that depressed prices
that season. If tbe spinners opposed the decline historians failed to give <
them credit. ’
For the past six or seven years, more especially the past three years,
the demand for goods bas been so great that consumptive requirements are
running an even race with production, and as a consequence the first
bumper crop was a small affair when compared with the 1904-05 and tbe
1900-07 crop*, both as to size and price.
Apparently tbe demand was equal to the supply and the speculative
element took advantage of this condition and prices gradually sought a
higher level, while the foreign spinners were bunting tbe world over with
the hope that they could find some spot that would produce American cot
ton so that they could act indep^dently of tbe American speculator.
The English spinners would even Invade the cotton belt, buy land and
bring over tbelr cheap labor to produce cheap cotton. And yet some con
tend that the spinner Is opposed to speculation because It depresses the
price of cotton. •
Does the American spinner oppose speculation for the same reason as
given by the English spinner? It has been elated tbe American mill* are
under contract well Into nest year for good* on a basis of 14 to 20c for
raw material, for which they are paying lie and less. Apparently they
are willing to pay within 2c to 8c per pound of what It Is worth.
Who derives the greatest benefit from low priced cotton, the spin
ner or (peculator?
Speculation Is now as near dead, to have any life left, aa It can be,
