THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS* •TUESDAY, JUNE 13, 1W7. IS DUE NEXT WEEK! SUPPLYJS FAILING Waterworks Must Cut Out Filtration or Use Dan gerous Pressure, AN ATLANTAN WILL READ 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.

Colonel John Temple Graves, of At lanta, a ltd editor of The Atlanta Geor- 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 out being flerce, loyal Without lying, L HIMSELF ABOUT DETECTIVE FORCE In answer to the criticisms by mem bers of the detective department of Judge Calhoun's court and Its lenien cy toward defendants, Lee J. Langley, a well-known attorney, writes a caus- tic criticism of the detective depart ment and the police court, at the same time announcing that he wilt run for the legislature for the eole purpose Of regulating the police court and its sur roundings. Mr. Langley's letter Is given below: To the EdltAr of The Georgian: I see where the "detective" depart ment has Jumped on Judge Calhoun; I am net surprised at this, as they have WASHINGTON NEGROES AFTER SCALP OF NEGRO REGISTRAR Washington, June II.—Prominent negroes here are about to demand from President Roosevelt the scalp of Cyrus Field Adame, assistant register of the treasury.

GOVERNMENT MA Y DEPORT “MONKEY HOUSE" CARUSO Washington, June 11.—It was nnnouV'rd excluded from the United States. St the department of commerce and lalinr today that while no action hnd been taken looking toward the exclusion of Enrko Ca ruso nn nccouut of the monkey house epi sode. such action waa /dng considered.

They have spared the supreme court because they don’t know exactly what It Is. The only trouble with the "detective" department Is that they have got It Into their heads that under civil service they are the whole circus, big tent, aide-shows and all. There are a few eople In Fultort county, hhwevef. who elleve that If they were the beet ludges of morals on earth they would >e preaching In the big churches of Atlanta Instead of hanging around that Jlrty bid statlbn house, and If they were the greatest Judges of law In Caruso, It ran be abown, waa ■ offense whirl ‘ ' if ... pay a nae'of'liH for"p1 . ham, In the Central park monkey hoase.

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. mm THE PINNACLE TRUNK MFG.

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 tlm* When war drum throbs no longer.
