Tuberculosis In Milk and In the
Negro.
. Dr. George Brown, president of the
American Anti-Tuberculosis League,
today made the preliminary announce
ment of the plana for the meeting of
the Leaguo to be held at Atlantic City,
June 1 to 4.
The eeailoni, which will bring to
gether some of the moat famous ex
perts on the prevention of consump
tion, will be devoted largely to the sub
ject now uppermost in the minds of
all civilised people, the communication
of the great white plague to man from
cows through milk.
Another subject that will attract
considerable attention will be the thor
ough study of tuberculonli In the negro
race, with a view to bringing out more
clearly tho peril to the entire popula
tion of tho prevalence of this disease
In the negro and his peculiar suscepti
bility to Infection.
"Tho relation of the milk supply to
the spread of tuberculosis,” said Dr.
Brown today, "has been made Inevita
bly the moat Important question for
consideration, by the thorough demon
stration for such transmission of con
sumption that was made in the recent
report of the British Royal Commis
sion.
"America, though, waa first In dem
onstrating that this peril Is a real one.
The work of the dairy division of our
own federal department of agriculture,
antedating as It does the conclusions
of the royal commission, put America
drat In the field. It should be remem
bered that Dr. D. E. Salmpn. then chief
of the dairy division of the department
of agriculture, and Dr, E. 0. Bchroo-
der. superintendent of the government
experiment station at Rethesda, Md.,
proved conclusively that the tubercle
bacilli, communicated to the milk by
the coir, are a frequent cause of viru
lent tuberculosis In man.
"It ia for tbla purpose that the
American Anti-Tuberculosis League
has decided to devote the sessions of
June 4th to the particular subject of
Tuberculosis in Milk. In order to bring
out clearly both the demonstrated, sci
entific facts and the practical methods
of combating the spread of this dan
gerous and usually fatal disease
through mOk from untested cows.
"This meeting will be presided over
by Hon. Nathan Straus, the philan
thropist of New York, who has done
more for humanity thsu any man In
the United 8tates, by teaching the
world the practical efilcacy of destroy
ing the tubercle bacilli by pasteuris
ing the milk supply and who la always
foremost In hta efforts to aid human
ity.
“Papers in this section will be read
by Dr. Frauds O'Donohue, of Syra
cuse, N. Y.; Dr. Ernst J. Lederld, for
mer commissioner of health of New
York City; Dr. E’ C. Schroeder, the
government expert; Dr. C. W. Saleeby,
the famous British scientist, Dr.
George F. McCleary, the father of the
English Infant Milk Depots; Dr. 81-
mon Baruch, authority on Infant hy
giene; Mr. Nathan Straus, the found
er of the paateurlsed milk charity In
Naw York, and other famous special
ists In tha work of preventing the tu
bercle bacilli reaching humankind
ti)rough Infected milk.
"The section on tuberculosis In the
negro race Is of utmost Importance, es
pecially to people of the South, but It
also has urgent significance for the
people of the great cities. For exam
ple. in New York city there Is n dls-
| tinet tuberculosis belt, and it ia that
section of tho city which Is particular
ly Inhabited by negroes.
“The only object of this congress Is
to benefit humanity and It Is proposed
to do this not only by making clear the
perils of tho great white plague, butj
also by pointing out clearly the prac-'
tlcal methods of protection from In
fectlon and prevention of tho spread of
the disease.”
REVIVAL OF PRIDE AND INTEREST IN TEMPLAR
MASONRY.
Among other things, the Masonic parade of yesterday was a rein-
treduction of Templar Masonry to the respect and admiration of the state.
It also marks a most wholesome revival of enthusiasm for this great and
shining degree of Masonry. It is doubtful If Atlanta ever saw a more
Imposing' psrade among a single organisation thin the Knights Templars
made on yesterday.
Of course, the Blue Ldge Masons, solid and enduring, as always, made
a strong and effaetlve showing, but never in its history has Atlanta seen
a real Templar demonstration before, and the two long lines which stretch
ed from the Fourth Nations! Bank building to the Piedmont Hotel in dou
ble order, with their white plume* and flashing uniforms, made as shin
ing and spectacular a parade as Atlanta has ever seen.
The whole day of yesterday waa from flrat to last a conspicuous suc
cess, which even the pouring rain could not dampen or chill. The exercises
at the Temple Asylum In the morning were of the most Inspiring order.
The hall waa one brilliant mass of waving plumes and handsome uni
forms and glowing, cordial, applauding fraternity. The. guests were the
most distinguished Masons that have been In Atlanta within the decade,
and the spirit of cordiality In tho air was the best of all because it pulsed
and glowed with fraternity and humanity and helpfulness and heartiness
and hope.
Most Eminent Grand Master Moulton, and Very Eminent Grand Stand
ard Bearer Norris have won golden opinions by their remarks from all
ranks of Georgia Masons. Their splendid spirit aUd fellowship and fine
personal appearance and gifts and graces of mind and manner have won
them an enduring place In the affection and admiration of the craft in this
city.
And wo are quite confident that the results of yesterday, both public
and private, have left on the minds and hearts of the people of Atlanta
an enlarged opinion of the numbers, the power, the Influence and the
beneficence of Masonry.
HERE'S TO GREATER ATLANTA.
Tho Georgian Is jnst as hearty as the heartiest in Its advocacy of
the movement looking toward a Greater Atlanta.
There la scarcely a city in the country that is not moving along the
same line. The Idea is universal. Birmingham has a movement like it.
Jacksonville, Fla., baa a movement like It. Richmond, Va., Charlotte, N. C.,
and every city of life and promise In the South has a movement for a
greater city to be made by an enlargement of corporate lines and the an
nexation of suburban towns.
« And so why should not Atlanta adopt the common Idea and Join
heartily In the movement which will give us a greater population with all
tho benefits which come to us from numbers?
There Is nothing In The Georgian's composition that would halt our
enthusiasm because The Atlanta Journal happened to be tbe first to sug
gest that Atlanta should fall Into tho general movement of enlargement
going on throughout the country. Tha Georgian la not built that way.
The Georgian Is not the organ of any man's private spites or personal an
tagonisms or small Jealousies. Any man or any newspaper that voices a
a movement for the benefit of Atlanta can command the co-operation of
these columns first, last, and all the time.
And so without regard to who suggested Atlanta's falling Into line
with the enlargement movement, and with a frank statement that The
Atlanta Journal did first suggest it, wo announce ourselves heartily and
cordially In co-operation with the plan.
This method of enlarging population by the annexation of suburban
territory Is the tactics by which Chicago has come to rank as the second
city of the country.
This Is the method by which New York thwarted tho ambition of
Chicago to become the first city In population by the wholesale scheme of
annexation which made Greater New York the second city in the world.
This,Is tbe method by which Memphis has presumed to increase its
population to tho point of successful competition with Atlanta.
This Is tho method by which Birmingham even now la looking for
ward ambitiously to such additions to Us population os to claim an
equality with Atlanta by the next census.
This Is the plan which Is in the mind of every city In tho South of
approximate population to Atlanta by which It hopes to attain an equality
with this 20th century city In tho coming census of 1910.
And so with the municipal knives of our rivals whetted for our nu
merical scalp, and with tbe example of the greater cities of tho country
to indorse the plan, It la high time that Atlanta and all the people who
live In and about It should fall heartily and enthusiastically Into line to
make Atlanta assume Its proper rank next to Louisville and New Orloans
as the metropolis of the South.
The Georgian Is not unmlndfnl In this connection of tho rights and In
terests of our suburban neighbors.
Their opinions and their wishes are entitled to the profoundest re
spect. We are not In favor of any rough riding over these towns for our
own glory. A man has no right to marry a koman against her will, and
a greater city ought to have no right to swallow a smaller city against ita
will.
But the thing to do In this matter Is to send out agents and repre
sentatives of our Greater Atlanta plan to confer with the suburbs to per
suade them of the advantages which will come to them rrora this en
largement of our territory and thla Increase of our numbers and to In
duce them willingly, cordially and happily to become a part of our munici
pal household.
This Is not only tbe better, tbe larger, and the nobler way, but it
Is also tho most successful way.
We aro thoroughly convinced that with the case properly presented
there la not a suburb of Atlanta that would not be glad to be Incorporated
In it* limits.
And so with the sweet oil of persuasion and the perseverance of
earnestness, let us accomplish the purpose which arbitrary action and dic
tatorial direction might easily thwart. %
Wo trust the committee having thla movement In charge will at Ita
first meeting appoint committees to take up this matter In a cordial
friendly conference with the suburban towns and proceed with tbelr full
and hearty cooperation to success. -
SOME DEMOCRATIC AFTER VIEWS
ANOTHER FARMER
FAVORS IMMIGRATION.
To tho Editor of The Georgian:
„ A reply to Ntate Lecturer O. M. Davla,
of the tarinrrft' union, on Immigration: .
I read la tbe Hntunlajr't iaauo of Tot
Georgian the objections Mr. Davis rare
why tbe Farmers' unlou opposed Immigra

••We object to tbe class of people which
will emigrate from Europe, mid feel that

The Farmers' union le a large and grow

as I am a farmer and fruit grower* and
waa once an alliance man and always a
Democrat, i think I am eutltled to lie heard
on this Important subject. The Farmers'
union Is organlsiHl for tbe purpose, ae I

tion of tbe agricultural and laboring claases

Mr. Darla* aaaertlon that "we feel that
Immigrants from Europe would not be de
sirable cltlaena" Is not supported by facta,

Hon. John Temple Graves, editor of
The Atlanta Georgian, who has recent,
ly sprang Into the political limelight
as a national figure by his suggestion
that Bryan nominate Rdonevelt for the
presidency, received hta academic edu
cation at Tuskegce. It Is also a re
markable coincident that Mr. Graves
Is a direct descendant of John C. Cal
houn, the eloquent South Carolina
statesman, the greatest debater per
haps that the country has ever known.
Colonel Graves Is below the average In

Dalton Citizen (Dem.).
John Temple Graves says the Dem

Indeed, and we see no Immediate Indi

go at that.

The Chicago Chronicle Is pained be

Roosevelt has not deserved the humill.

John R. Walsh, who has been In
dicted on many counts for fraudulent
transaction* and has boldly defended
Illegal contributions of policy holders'
money to political campaign funds by
official* of Insurance companies. Is
continually paying the president com-
tllments through his Chicago Chron-
cle. If the president Is not humili
ated by these he will certainly not feel
humiliated by compliments paid him
by Mr. Graves and Mr. Bryan, who
have clean records. Mr. Walsh Is not

“And Why Not?"
Lexington (Ga.) Echo (Dem.).
Much has been said here of late In
regard to the proposition made by Hon.
John Temple Graves that Mr. Bryan

dard-bearer for tho office of president
The proposition has brought forth a
great deal of comment from the press
and the people of the country, pro and
oon, but the greater part of the talk in
the press has been on the con side.
While It Is true Mr, Roosevelt Is n
Republican, and In former utterances
made public through book and periodi
cal, It would seem he was a staunch
member of the Republican party. While
many of his former utterances do not
seem to carry with them Democratic
notions, great lasuea have presented

A Sound Georgia Democrat.
Sylvanla Telephone (Dem.).
Nothing that has happened recerttly
has created so much comment in tho
country as the suggestion made by
Hon. John Temple Graves at the Chat
tanooga banquet
As a matter of fact Mr. Roosevelt
Is by for the strongest man before the
American people today—stronger now
than he has ever been—and should lie
run for the presidency again and stands
to his guns as he has In the past no
other man ot any party would stand
any chancs of beating him. It Is Just
as well to recognize this fact In the
outset Personally, Mr. RooseVelt Is
tho most popular president the Ameri
can people have ever hod, and when
It comes to the great and burning Is
sues that now agitate tho public mln-1,
and that roust be settled In the near
future, no man has taken more ad
vanced ground than he. Even Mr. Bry
an himself, great and good Democrat
that he Is, can not claim any greater
zeal for the cause of the people against
the plutocrats than Mr. Roosevelt.
We have all heard about tariff re
form, centralization and such things as
these, from time Immemorial! they do
very well, perhaps, to shout In a na
tional campaign, but there are real Is
sues now that press for settlement and
before which these other* must retire,
until there Is nothing else to talk
about, The adjustment of the relations
between the railroads .of this country
and the people, and the control of the
power of corporate wenlth tq Its career
of greed and avarice—these are the live
and burning questions In which the
people have a vital Interest.
As we see It. their settlement Is more
Important than the selection of uny one
man or the triumph of any party. Let
the best and the strongest man make
the fight. If Mr. Roosevelt Is that man.
then well and good. If It should be Mr.
Bryan, then so much the better. Mr.
Bryan himself had the true courage to
say. In reply to Mr. Graves, that If. aft
er mature consideration and reflection*
and tho presentation of the argument*
In the case, he should be convinced that
his duty lay In that direction, he would

should prove the last act of hi* Ufa

good of the Republican party In Ohio
that something should be done," said
George B. Cox, former leader In Hamil

afternoon on the Ohio situation.
'We are on tho eve of next fall's

we had factional differences In the par

New York, May 9.—Ten thousand
