A Notable First Anniversary.
The Ohio Sun, published at Colum
bus, the state capital, la ono of the
phenomenal papers pf tbs Central
States. The Sun Is Just a year old and
its anniversary edition offers a won
derful evidence of growth and appre
ciation richly merited by good taats
nnd conspicuous enterprise. The Sun
Is beautifully printed and ably edited.
Its news service Is admirable In all re
spects and la handled In the most ap
proved and modern style. Its anniver
sary edition is one ot the beat of the
year In all respects, and few editions
■ ot any paper in any year havo Includ
ed a moro admirable and striking
; summary of the industrial, commer
cial, financial and educational condi
tions surrounding it. We congratu
late The Sun upon the new ornament
that It baa brought to Journalism and
' predict with logical certainty that Its
success will be progressive and con
tinual.
The Barbers’ Bill.
There seems to be general favor for
> tho Barbers' bill Introduced Into the
I legislature. This Is an act tat regu-
' late the practlco of the occupation of
' a barber within tho state,of Georgia,
, to Insure proper sanitary conditions
, In barber (hops, to prevent the spread
ing of disease therefrom, to provide
for the registration and licensing of
j persons to carry ou and practice tho
i oocupatlon of a harbor, to Insure tho
| competency ot such practitioners, to
I establish a board ot examiners to car
I ry out the purposes of this act, to
( make penal any violation* ot the
terms ot this act and to prescribe
i punishment therefor, and for other
I'purposes.
' It Is Impossible to estimate the
I number ot people who are effected by
i a measure of this kind. As a matter
Of health, sanitation and protection. It
I la very much to be commended, and
. we don’t see any reasonable basis up
on which It could be opposed.
High Honors For Barbour
Thompson.
The Georgian cannot fall to extend
, Ita congratulations to Mr. J. B. 8.
■ Thompson upon the welt deserved
I compliment which the Southern rail-
j way has paid him In elevating him to
] the position ot assistant to the pres
ident, with authority second In the
I system only to President Finley btm-
! Self.
j Mr. Thompson has been for many
l pear* the agent and local authority
of the Southern railway In this city
and section, and there are fev who
will begrudge him the credit of hav
ing conducted the affairs of the
Southern with so much of fairness, of
ability and ot suavity as to have
soothed much ot the Irritation which
| railroad policies have evoked and to
yimo increased the good will which
1
might prevail toward thl* great cor
poration.
Mr. Thompson la a Virginian and a
gentleman, a man of honor and a man
of affairs. He Is closely linked with
the social and business life of Atlan
ta, and we are quite sure that without
regard to faction, the city will approve
the Just promotion which has come
to him.
GENTLEMEN SHOULD BE OF ONE MIND HERE.
Among the vital measures which touch the life and the soul of the peo
ple In this great and philanthropic age, there la no one which appeals
more strongly to thoughtful people In the wider ranks of life than the
effort to be made In the general assembly to raise the limit'of the age
of consent to 18 years.
It seems almost the history of barbarism to recall the fact that there
was a time when the age of consent was only 7 years. In many of the
states It remains at 12 years, and In some ot them even yet at 10 years.
The plea to be presented to the legislature of Georgia Is wise and
Just and It should appeal to the conscience and to the ohlvalry of every
father and every gentleman In the general assembly.
By the knowledge of social problems which a position In the' world
brings about, we understand as men of quieter occupations seldom do
that tha thousands of little girls whom the ruthless grind of soolal com
plexities compel to earn a living In being ao placed at the mercy of the
world, deserve to be amply protected, from the snares ot the betrayer.
The steadily Increasing number of little mothers of nameless children
under the age of sixteen proves that our girls are not protected and that
those who beguile them away from the innocence of childhood Into sin-
blackened lives, have too often done so with Impunity and without re
morse.
The safe-guarding ot all that Is dear to women, and consequently,
the mainspring of home life, futly pleads the Justice of this cause and
we express the belief that a legislature of Georgia gentlemen will not fall
to write Its prompt and emphatic Indorsement upon this measure when
It comes.
THE COUNCIL AND GREATER ATLANTA.
It Is difficult to understand the Monday action of tha council In Its
double form of a legislative body and a committee of the whole.
8!tt!ng a* a committee of tho whole the council voted to postpone
the consideration of the Greater Atlanta proposition until January. 1908.
Adjourning the committee ot the whole and passing Immediately Into
session as a council, the body voted to take up the consideration of
Greater Atlanta on the first Monday In August.
So that In the course of ten minutes the same body under different
forms passed two widely different resolutions dealing most diversely
with the Important question of (the enlargement of the city.
It Is difficult to frame any other conclusion from this action than
that the hope of a groator city Is postponed for this session of the legisla
ture at least It will .be too late even after the first of August to got the
measure through the legislature unless some lightning method of proce
dure can be developed by the concurrence of both houses.
And of course to postpone It until January la a practical removal of
the question from the life and the Judgment of this legislature.
It Is vory much to be regretted, and The Georgian very much regrets
that the matter could not have been taken up and given some kind of no
tion during the present session. We are sorry that the council did not at
least ask the legislature to enlarge In part the limits of the town even
If they desire to postpone a further enlargement until another body of
lawmakers assemble In tho capital.
Wo trust that even yet tho August consideration will give some en
largement to the limits of the city which will add to our population and
enable Atlanta to hold its numerical place among the growing and am
bitious cities which surround It
GEORGIA’S GIRLS APPEAL TO THE LEGISLATURE.
As tho general assembly through Us appropriations and financial com
mittees comes to the consideration of educational matters, The Georgian
desires most respectfully to urge upon lte favorable conelderatlon the
policy of large and fearless liberality toward the material necessities of
education In the state.
This Is a crisis In tho educational history ot Georgia. Its distinct
trend Is upward and onward; Its methods are progressive, Its spirit la fine,
its Ideals are uplifting. Us noble army of toachers are consecrated to the
best *io|k of their lives, and whatever the legislature does, we trust
that It may not fall with Us appropriations genelously and speedily
made to Increase and to Inspire the schools and colleges of the state for
the ensuing year.
All the state Institutions are worthy of help and should receive their
due reward. But The Georgian desires to call especial attention to the
pressing needs of tho Georgia Normal and Industrial College at Mllledge-
vllle.
The state with moneys appropriated some time ago, through the
trustees and faculty havo erected at Mllledgevllle two of tho most beauti
ful and convenient buildings devoted to education In the South.
As a result of the sheer taste and devoUon of the president and
two members of tho board, these buildings are worthy of the
wealth of Massachusetts and of tho culture ot Athens. The buildings
stand, however, unfitted for use because they need from tho legislature
enough money to equip them for the great army of girls who are ready to
move therein. President Parka will doubtless present In detail these mat
ters before the leglilaturc.
The attendance for the past year at this great school, one of the
greatest In the South and In the country, was 426 Georgia girls. The
limited facilities ot the Institution compelled the faculty to refuse admis
sion to 179 girls becauso ot lack of dormitory room.
The Georgian has sold before and docs not hesitate to say again,
that no Institution In the 8outh or In the country surpasses In merit or
quality or spirit of Its work, tho school which tho state maintains for Its
young women at Mllledgevllle.
As an evidence of tho profound Impression which the methods and
merits of this school have made updn educators, we append a latter from
Mr. 8. C. Mitchell, chairman ot the executive committee of the Georgia
educational board, one of the highest authorities upon education In the
United States. The letter will bo intereating reading to those who ate
watching tho growth ot our Georgia' systems and Institutions:
To the Editor of The Georgian;
It was uiy privilege to attend on June 2, the commencement
of the Georgia Normal and Industry College at Mllledgevllle, and
I deslro to express by appreciation of the splendid work which Is
thore In progress. President M. M. Parks has admirably grasped
the relation of education to tho progressive tendencies of the
South, nnd he bos shown himself a master In dove-tailing educa
tion Into life. That noble school stands for democracy and Indus
trialism ns well ns culture. Work seems to be the genius of the
place. The faculty, composed of able men and women, were har
monious and united In the supreme purpose to make every dollar
Invested In that Institution yield Its utmost benefit to the state of
Georgia. The students were earnest, enthusiastic, capable.
Even In so brief a visit, I received from the student meetings
somo of the strongest Impulses of my life. It Is Indicative of a
new day for the South that a quiet and cultured community like
Mllledgevllle, with all of Its rich historlo traditions, is made a seat
of learning In all that Is practical and high In modern life. The
spirit of the school was to mo emblemlted by the solidity of tho
executive mansion, which Is a typo ot the substantial manner In
which our fathers bullded In those early days.
The new Industrial building Is a gem of architecture. The
beauty of tbls building will chasten the taste and elevate the
Ideals ot every young woman who looks dally upon it. I can
hardly believe that such a building, so modem In equipment and
ao admirable in arrangement, was put np at such small cost. It
la Indeed a monument to the care, taste and efficiency of the
president and the committee associated with him In Ita erection.
The new dormitory, whose corner stono was laid on that occa
sion. Is likewise comely and much needed. The progress of the In
stitution Is happily marked by the fact that at thla commence
ment It dedicated one exquisite building and laid the comer stone
of another.
The Georgia Normal and Industrial College excited within
me so many points of contrast and delight that I find It exceeding
ly difficult to give any adequate expression to them. In my opin
ion there Is simply no limit to the Influences which President
Parks Is wielding In his admirable management of that Institu
tion. It filled me with new confidence In our future.. I shall
watch with keenest interest the development of all his plana

forces of Georgia ore marching to vic

We must not and do not forget others

battle. The great Christian denomi
nations of our commonwealth, the

heroic Individuals, whose names belong

and continue to work reforms. The
work of this legislature will go down
to history honored and applauded.

HURRAH FOR~THE QEOROIANI
To Tho Atlanta Georgian and News:
Dear Sirs—A year ago 1 took occa
sion to commend your paper from my
pulpit, not dreaming that what I said
would reach you. 1 was surprised but
not embarrassed when my words of
commendation appeared frequently In
your pages. I have nothing to take
back. Our agreements are too many
and our differences so few. A paper
that will not print a Sunday Issue, that
refuses liquor advertisements, that ex
clude* certain other undesirable adver.
tlsements and that champions, with
force and Intelligence, every righteous
cause, deserves the approval and sup
port of all men.
Now that you have leaped Into the
lead for state prohibition, we rejoice
over you with Joy unspeakable. Thanks
be to God for a dally that can not
bought, bribed, brow-beaten or
blindfolded, but tees and seises a great
moral opportunity, cost what It may!
