SUPPLYJS FAILING
Waterworks Must Cut Out

IHE FAMOUS DECLARATION
will the supply of muddy water that
has so often been threatened begin next
week?
Colonel Park Woodward, general
manager of the waterworks, says the
probabilities are that the people of At
lanta will have to content themselves
with muddy water.
The reservoir, which ought to be at
10 feet, Is now down to 24 feet. With a
fall of four feet more the reservoir will
be no higher than the filters, and the
water may bo pumped directly from the
reiervolr to the, city, without being
altered at all.
Colonel Woodward says be will have
to cease using.the reservoir next week
and begin pumping the Water direct
from the river to the coagulating basin.
"This Is the situation," explained
Colonel Woodward.
"The pumps at certain times of the
day must be running at the rate of
20,000,000 gallons a dv/. The average
Is about 11,000,000 gallons. When I cut
out the. reservoir, witter must be
pumped at the rate of 20,000,000 gal
lons a-fay through a coagulating basin
of 2,000,000 gallon capacity.
Can Not be Filtered.
"The water will go through at such a
rate of speed that anything like proper
filtration will be Impossible. The result
will be muddy water. With the, reser
voir as low as 24 fCet and constantly
falling, It is of no use, for It will soon
be as low as the nitration plant.
"There Is but one remedy possible
immediately. That Is for the water
board to authorize me to Increase the
pressure on the pumps at the river to
120 pounds. They are guaranteed for
only 110, and this Increase may cause
them to break. It Is a very dangerous
proposition."
The water board will meet Thursday
and the general manager will then lay
the situation before the members.
Must Wait for Bonds.
The money provided for by the recent
successful bond election for 2350,000 for
the waterworks can not be used until
after the legislature has st> authorised.
The water board will also take up
the pump question Thursday. The ex
pert, Dabney Maury, of Peoria. III., has
completed his examination and returned
to his home. In Peona. He will send a
written repoft to the board, giving
his opinion on the effleacy of a centrif
ugal pump for the needs of Vie water
works.

JOHN TEMPLE GRAPES TALKS
TO EDITORS OF AMERICA
Jamestown Exposition, Va., June II.
Colonel John Temple Graves, of At

does not need ofllce to dignify him, and
he undlgnlfles hla own high station
when he alloys with the suspicion of
M'A TER WA GON WAS BUSY;
RECORD BROKEN MON DAT
The tap • was wide open and water
running free Monday.
Every bath tub In Atlanta was kept
working overtime, and that Just twen
ty-four hours after "tub day," too. All
day long the cooks kept the water run
ning "Just to cool it off” and on every
lawn the man behind the hose was kept
busy.
The consumption of water broke all
records In Atlanta. The sweltering
city used 12.448.000 gallons from the
waterworks, to say nothing of mineral
water of various brands. The water
works register showed a mark never
reached before.
The nearest to the record was reach
ed lost Saturday, when 12,085,000 gal
lons were consumed, and that was tho
first time the regleter had passed the
12,000,0(10 mark since the system w:rs
built.
Hot weather caused the Immediate
Increase, blit It Is not responsible for
the general gain In water consumption.
"This Is Juet an Idea of what's com
ing this summer," said Park Woodward,
general manager. "The general pros
perity of Atlanta contributes to tho In
crease. All the stores and factories aro
running and using lots of water. New
enterprises are being started and ask
ing for city water. It Is no wonder that
Monday broke all records.”
glnn, spoke to nn enthusiastic audlencei **lfl«h Interest the pure gold of his
- - — righteous advocacies or the disinter
ested force of his editorial pleas. There
may be.editors, and It Is said there
are. who rise by fearless honesty and
Independent courage to public station.
But they aro as one In a thousand to
the editorial politicians who aro split
to the shoulders In the endeavor to
straddle every public question until
they can clearly determine the popular
side on which to fall.
Nor do 1 believe that political or
other conviction Justifies an unreason
ing partisanship. Men of the loftiest
character and of the highest Intelli
gence differ materially In Judgment and
Interpretation of political and social
sad religious propositions. Tempera
ment and sympathy nnd environment
work their way honestly to different
convictions which men must follow If
they be men at all. It does not mean
that a man 1s unworthy because he
hes a different creed from our own.
Sectional newspapers viewing local
questions fiom the distance of a thou
sand miles rush to the bitterness of In-
tolerance and widen sectional dls-
cusslons which may stretch to civil
wars.
Narrowness, Intolerance, bitterness,
injustice arid character-wrecking, are
unworthy of the greatness and of the
power of the American press, and un
worthy of the press of the world.
It Is one of the better things of the
coming day—one of the better things
that this great convention must bring
—that the press shall be faithful with

BILL IS REPASSED
r epai
recount bill over the veto of Acting
Mayor McGowan, of New York city.
The bill now goes'to the governor for
hla signature. The bill refers to the
election In which McClelland defeated
at the meeting.of the National Editorial,
Association this morning. He was
thanked publicly by a unanimous rising/
Vl.to.
Colonel Graves said In part:
The preBB of America—and
testimony of these eminent visitors—•
tho press of the world Is passing
through transition stages of develop
mont to a higher and larger and nobler 1
plane than It has ever occupied before.
There was a period of American his
tory when the editorial page made the
newspaper. In that day great men with
great characters—great editors, like
Hora'ce Greeley and George D. P.
and Duff Green, molded the opinions of
the time nnd were followed by a clien
tele ns devoted and as numerous as the
ballots that followed the faith and the
fortunes of Clay and Calhoun.
Then came the telegraph and the
news agencies and
nlngs flashing the day's doings around
the world, while Individuality lapsed,
linvo made for a quarter century the
news columns supreme and the edito
rial page subordinate.
But tomorrow brings back the man.
The great editor looms'once more upon
tho horizon. Tho ruling force, the
guiding Intelligence, the imperial mind
jtuit sways, shall once again be throned
In tho sanctum rather than wrapped In
the statesman's toga or magnffled In
the politician's wiles.
For the world grows. It grows In
scope. It inagnlfles Its numbers. It
'tiles Its reading; It enlarges Its
Information. It broadens Its Ideas. It
qualities dally to discriminate between
the false and the true, the spurious and
the real. But the minority do the
thinking. The minority rules the world.
Who can estimate the continuing
scope and power of an agency so com
prehensive and so vast?
It Is elemental logic to declare that
that power will rule the world which
reaches beat the world's minorities and
the world’s majorities and feeds fullest
the world's demands.
For behind all theory nnd back of
all Ideals and beyond all editorial pages
stands the MAN. Ths man Is the
basic fact. He must be unselfish. He
must have humanity. He must love
the truth. He must concentrate his
alms. He must measure his heart
beats In equal pulse with hla brain
throbs, and he must be ready always
to subordinate the selfish purpose to
the human end of service and to the
welfare of the state.

Such a man In private station would
be great and Influential. Equip •
manhood and ouch character with
vast machinery of the press and the
world about him must recognise the
'master, the benefactor and the king.
Pulse the press of the world with
unfailing TRUTH and the press be
comes omnipotent.
Let me say then, very briefly, Just
two things: I believe the great editor
In all representative governments will
roach his full development when he
lays down forever the 'habit and the
hope of holding office. No great ed
itor should be an aspirant for personal
preferment at the people's hands. He
la a teacher and a leader. He la a
teller of truth, and he can not be fair
nnd free and fearless In these high
lines If he la dependent upon popular
opinion or an mnllcant for popular
approval. He will Inevitably follow
the tides of tho opinion which he
should direct. He will inevitably
truckle as the politician to the preju
dices which as an editor It Is his duty
to dispel. He Is greater In station and
In Influence than an officeholder. He
true to Its friends, Juat to Its enemies,
and ns fearlessly fair as It shall be
splendidly free.
These are not Impossible Ideate. They
are practical nnd possible reforms.
They are practiced today by three or
four great newspapers printed In this
country, and by as many, perhaps, on
the other side. And wherever they are
printed they make In truth and In gen.
eral acceptance the realty great news
papers of the world.
Mr. President, all the problems of
the world must yield to the Influence
of a press pitched upon the plane of
these high, but simple tnd practical
Ireala When the central power of
the world Is fair and honest and truth,
ful and kind, we have at once the tri
bunal and ths advocates by which
the universal Issues may be well and
nobly tried. In the high court of pub
lic opinion made by such voices and
such authority, all the creeds and
struggles of humanity may approach
their healing and solution.
Here political parties may pltcl
battles on a nobler plane and measure
principles without personalities In the
scale of the people's high Intelligence.
Here labor and capital may lay their
many wrangllngs down In the kindness
of concession nnd In ths statesmanship
of compromise.
Here faith may have Its Innings
when the etom of skepticism Is past.
And tho nations of the earth, sheath
ing their swords and breaking their
armaments, shall And In a fearless, n
truthful end an unselflsh press the
better and larger Hague tribunal of
the future In whose arbitration uni
versal Justice shall be done to nations
strong and weak, and under whose no
ble and puissant reign of equality and
law we shall corns In fullness to the
