Remarkable la the chargo that four

now a diligent student of American
history, reminds him that General

war, and that General McClellan was

Give us a sensible answer.
HOKE SMITH AND SENATOR CULBERSON. ,
The Houston Post misinterprets Tbe Georgian If anything wo have
said has left tbe impression of a reflection upon tbe definite and decided
type of Democracy represented by Senator Charles Culberson, of Texas.
We hsve not said and we cannot be tempted Into saying anything that
impugns In any way the Democracy or the nobis character of the Junior
senator from Texas. Wa have more than once paid high tribute to the
dignity and the strength of tho principles which he so clearly and so ably
I represents.
The only comment In which we bare over questioned the superior eli
gibility of Senator Culberson as a Democratic candidate for the presiden
cy was la the statement that hl» connection with the recent movements
of economic reform had not been so pronounced and vigorous In a public
way as that of the governor-elect of Georgia. Even In the rate regulation
contest In the senate, the senior senator was a more active or at least a
more public figure rfian Senator Culberson, and while we do not doubt that
gentleman’s willingness and his service along lines of practical reform,
we raise the question that these services have lacked that prominence and
publicity which would rank him high and notable among the aggressive
and militant reformers of the present time, and would commend him es
pecially to the popular ballot.
We trust this Is clear to The Houston Post and to the friends and
champions of the great senator from Texas.
But The Poat Itself Is talking childish babble when It say* that Hoke
Smith as compared with Culberson Is "a mere novice In statecraft and
experience." Tbe Poet forgeta the fact that Hoke Smith ha* been a pflbllc
figure of longer service and of even larger notoriety than Its own favorite
son. Hoke Smith's administration of the Department of tha Interior un
der Grover Cleveland's administration will rest with the ablest and best
reputed public services of this generation, and a cabinet officer Is not
likely in any forum either of etiquette or repute to take second pltfe to
a senator as a figure of first magnitude.
And Incidentally wa remind Tha Post that If Ifoke Smith was bora
In North Carolina, its own Idol and favorite son was, by Its own confes
sion. a native of the itate of Alabama, and a grandson of the greater stato
of Georgia.
PASTEURIZED MILK SOLVES
QUESTION Of PREVENTION
OF GREAT WHITE PLAGUE
THE OBEAT UNIVERSITY V. W. C. A. BUILDING.
The two most notable events In tho religious history of the fortnight
In the South sre the wonderful rally of Georgia Methodism to the Wes
ley memorials on Sunday.
And the equally remarkable success of the state executive committee
of the Young Men's Christian Association In raising seventy-five thou
sand dollars to equip a great modorn Y. M. C. A. building at tbe university
of the state.
The first of these events we have already had under admiring and
grateful comment
It la no less a matter of congratulation to tha moral and religious
forces of the state that tbe money haa been raised to Insure tbe build
ing at Athens of an tnstlntlon which will have no equal of Its kind among
tbe educational Institutions of the South. The building of this great phys
ical. moral and religious hall for young men at Athena will give a
distinct uplift and a notable moral Impulse to the entire institution and
to tbo educational spirit of the state. Every college In Georgia will be
bettered by reason of It, and the contagion of this movement will Inevita
bly overflow Into similar liberality toward tbe other colleges of tha com
monwealth.
Let It be remembered, however, that only a aum sufficient to assure
the building has been raised, and that It la still vitally desirable that
other contributions .should come in to Increase the amount to tha end of
completing the building along lines to mnko It comprehensive In scope
and Influence. Letters havo been sent out by the atata executive com
mittee nsklng contributions to this end. Some of theeo have been an
swered generously; others remain unanswered, and It Is to be hoped that
thoso who havo tailed up to this time to respond will now Join hearti
ly In the great wave of liberality already started and to carry It to the
farther shoro of accomplishment.
Twenty thousand additional dollars Rre needed to equip Georgia with
the greatest college Y. M. C. A. building In the South. Tho Georgian
trusts that this great work will not be left half dono, but that those Bp-
Dr. George Drown, funper president
of the league, has returned from the
meeting of the American Anti-Tuber
culosis League, at Atlantic City, N. J.
and talked Interestingly Thursday
morning of the dlscusalo'ns on the sub.
Ject of preventing tuberculosis, and of
the results gained by the use of pas
teurized milk. The war that Is being
waged between two rival entl-titbercu.
louts organisations waa referred to by
him.
Dr. Brown did not stand for re-elec
tion to ths presidency of the league,
and waa succeeded by Dr. Florence
Donohue, of Syracuse, New York. In
talking of the meeting Dr. Brown said:
Necessity of Lesgue.
"Our meeting at Atlantic city dem
onstrated very clearly the necessity for
the American Anti-Tuberculosis
League.
"The fleet thing that waa made clear
by the paper of Dr. Donohue, tho new
president of the league, and by all who
followed him In the discussion, was
that our league Is abreast with mod
ern knowledge on the subject of tu
berculosis and realists and accepts the
fundamental fact that the common
cause of consumption Is the Infection
of human beings with tubercl* bacilli
conveyed Into the human stomach by
milk.
"Both Dr. Donohue and Dr. Bchroe-
der, the Federal expert, showed con
cluslvely that consumption must bo
fought at the dairy farm and In ths
milk supply; and Nathan Straus, the
New York philanthropist, showed that
the practical way In which to evict tu
berculosis from ths milk supply Is by
pesrsurising all milk that la under any
possible suspicion of being Infected.
This Is ths position which was taken
within the past month by a. commis
sion of the foremost experts In tho
country at Washington.
"Pasteurisation Is very different
from boiling. The latter process un
doubtedly causes some coagulation of
the milk and may render it less di
gestible. But pasteurisation consists
In heating the milk for twenty min
utes to a temperature of 187 degrees,
which Is far below the cooking point,
and, therefore. It does not give to the
milk a cooked taste and does not ren
der It any leas digestible than raw
milk. In proving all this, Mr. Straus
cited the fact that he had fed 16,000
children In the tenement districts of
New York with pasteurized milk with
abtolutely good results In all these
many casea.
Two Societies at War.
"Incidentally It was’brought out at
the meeting that the National Society
for the Study of Tuberculosla was con.
ducting a secret and active campaign
against the American Anti-Tuberculo
sis League. Mr. William Wirt Mills,
of New York city, exposed the cause
of this hostility. He said that the Na
tional Society was dominated by men
who were Interested In the certified
milk trust, and that It was perfectly
obvious that If the milk supplies were
made safe by pasteurization, there
would be a falling off In tha demand
for certified milk, which now brings
from IS to SO cents a quart, netting
enormous proflts to the trust.
“I may sum up the results of the
meeting by referring to the resolutions
that we adopted, which were to the
effect that Infected milk Is the com
mon cause of consumption, that the
dairy herds should be tested with tu
berculin and all diseased cattle weeded
out, and the milk supplies should be
generally pasteurized to as to kill the
tubercle bacilli.
Consumption Proventzble.
"The members of the league were
Imbued with a strong sente of their
duty to labor for the prevention of tu
berculosis and to spread abroad the
knowledge of the fact that consump
tion It a preventable disease, and that
the bulk of the suffering now caused
by this plague can bt removed by mnk
Ing milk supplies safe.
"When we were In New York we saw
nothing more Interesting and more
hopeful than the pasteurized milk sta
tlons established and maintained In va
rlous parts of the city by Mr. Strauss.
We saw great Ice boxes on wheels trav-
cling about distributing the pasteurised
milk from the central laboratory to ths
various stations, and we felt that ths
world at large and the people of New
York In particular ought to appreciate
that It was the pasteurised milk con
tained In those Ice boxes that was the
practical answer to the question, 'What
shall we do about tuberculosis?
"Of course we fully realize the grav
Ity of other mean* of contagion and
urge, as we have done for yearz, the
value of sunshine, tight and air, and
hygienic living as having a great array
of factors In the prevention of this die
is*.
"Dr. Florence O'Donohue, of Syra
cuse, N. Y., president of the state board
of health of New York, was elected
president of the league.
"Dr. William H. Mayfield, surgeon In
chief of tho Maffleld Sanitarium. St.
Louis, Mo., was elected secretary and
executive officer.
Mrs. J. R. Briggs, of Dallas, Texas,
was elected president of the Woman'
Auxiliary.
"Mrs. Avis Boyce, of Atlanta, first
vice president, and Mrs. Josephine
Redding, editress of "Vogue,” of New
York, secretary.
"Mrs. Redding Is also secretary of the
Woman's Municipal League of New
York city.”

Prophecy of a Witch.
The recent death of Captain Ernest
Rhodes, a brother of the late Cedi
Rhodes, recalls a strange etory told by
Colonel Frank Rhodes, save Ttt-Rlte.
A few year* ago Cedi Rhodes turned a
Matsbele witch off hla estate In South
Africa In consequence of some offense,
and the old hag, with hatred burning
In her eyes, shrieked out: “Thy days
on earth shall be short, and two of
these who follow thee.” Curiously
enough, five years have seen three
members of tbe Rhodes family die
shortly after taking possession of the
Dalham estate. Cecil Rhodes paid
$5(N),600 for the property, and only via-
lted the hall once.

In addition to this, the regular pro-

lustrated songs, and William Thomas,
who alnga extracts from popular

At Whits City.
From avtry standpoint, the present
week has been the most successful one
at White City since the popular amuse,
ment resort opened.
The weather has been Ideal for visits
to a place of recreation such as White
City, where there are any number of
attractions tn divert jtne* attention
from the warmth, and where benches
and seats are spread In cool retreat*
and shady nooks.
The vaudeville theater, under the di
rection of Manager Holland, Is doing
far better than wa* anticipated, ana
the large attendance this week Is a
splendid criterion of the character of
performance he Is putting on. The fea
ture of this week's program I* the orig
inal Mike Kelly, the famous Dutch
comedian.
St. Nicholas Auditorium.
Great Interest haa been aroused fol
lowing the announcement In last Sat
urday's Georgian that there would be
an Inaugural carnival on skatng at the
link of tho Ht. Nicholas Auditorium
at Pones DeLeon Park on the night of
Saturday, June !*. This Is the pight
following the Inauguration of Govern
or-elect Smith. Brill greater Interest
attached to the special an
nouncement w-nicn will be made
through these columns In regard to
the Fourth of July, In Saturday's pa
per.
As an added attraction, Thomas and
Raymond Walsh, the champion ama
teur skaters of the South, both for
stralght-nway distances and fancy
strokes, will give an exhibition In cos
tunic on that evening. There Is skat
ing three times a day at the rink and
music at each session. The hours are
11 to 1 o'clock, 3:30 to 5 o'clock and S
to 11 o'clock.
At the Caelno.
There I* a sprinkling of specialty, a
smack of vaudeville and a round or two
of musical comedy In the absurd farce,
“My Wife's Family," serving as the at.
traction at the Casino at Ponce De-
Leon this week. There Is' no doubt
about the fact that this play will not
be seen again on the circuit. It la one
of those things that aomotlmea has
to be. The attraction la on for the
remainder of the week.
Better Hope Next Week.
Starting on Monday night, and con
tinuing through all of next week, with
the usual matinees, William Gillette's
comedy drama, “All the Comforts of
Home,” will attract theatergoers to
Ponce DeI.eon'a Casino. It Is believed
that this attraction will prove to be one
of the events of the season. The old
adage. "It’s an Ml wind that blows no
good,” Is bring demonstrated at this
very engagement, for because of the
fact that the fall still lingers, n great
many of the Welle houses In this sec
tion of the country nre being kept open,
nnd to supply them with attractions It
Is necessary to organize some three or
four shows, and one of them Is this
dramatic company, headed by Ralph
Stewart, who Is not unknown here.
Bents for the engagement cun be ob
tained at the Bijou box office.
