If the agitators who think Teddy Bears are productive of race suicide in that they take the place of dolls that formerly aroused the mother In- •'lnct In the hearts of little girls, won't there be a lot of women leading pot poodles by a string Instead of run- i. g baby carriage* after awhile? GIVE THE PEOPLE THE PARK, GENTLEMEN OF COUNCIL Atlanta la cither to be a city or a country town. And no one thing will better mark this difference tli’an the wise pro vision which Is made for the future In public parka. New York, right In Its throbbing heart of commerce, has Madison Square Garden of fifty acres, worth over one hundred thousand dollara a front foot, which Is given up to a breathing place and play-ground for the children, and the man would be deemed a traitor to civilization and humanity who would suggest Its diversion to commercial purposes. Scarcely a half- mile away there Is Union Square, another park of nearly almllar size, given up to tho same noble end, while all over that great city land of fabulous value le cheerfully conceded by the great metropolis to the health and pleasure of Its people. Atlanta must catch this spirit and put It Into execution. The mayor has very wisely urged In his message that Marietta Street school, which It has been agreed to remove from Its present location, should be utilized for a public park for the people In that crowded section of tho city. The little children and the tired mothers among the working people need it more than they need anything else that the beneficent^ of municipal government could put there. And The Georgian sincerely trusts that the City council will consider this matter In the wise and progressive light of city men and not of country legislators, and that no argument (or It shall be disregarded, and that no consideration less than the happiness of the people shall permit them to turn down this proposition. By all means, let the Marietta street section consecrate this space for breathing and health to the children and women and men who live there. AN APPEAL TO THE LEADERS OF REFORM. Seriously, and without any disrespect to any friend or contemporary, we fall to understand the attitude of certain public men and prominent newspapers toward Governor Smith, the railroad commission and the present reform administration. A very distinguished gentleman who has our highest esteem Is In sistent upon the policy of summoning an extra session of the legisla ture. His views, as his views always do, come strongly and effective ly, and will carry conylction to many minds. No one can question the honesty of his belief that an extra session Is the duty and the policy of the present administration. For reasons which should be equally respeoted, Governor Smith has seen best up to the present time not to call an extra session of the legis lature. It may be assumed that the governor baa good and sufficient reasons for this policy. Certainly no man In Georgia has more at stake In the fulfillment of the promises of reform made In the last campaign than the governor who led the fight. Certainly no man In Georgia could be cred ited with a more sincere desire to utilize. If necessary, every agency and opportunity to frame these campaign pledges Into statute law. And for these reasons no sane reformer can fall to respect the reasons, when the governor sees fit to give them, which have caused him to decline the extra session. Now this difference between these eminent gentlemen—the one the responsible cblof executive ot the state and the other an eminent pub licist, who was one of his most loyal friends—should not antagonize these men and should by no means serve to bring about any break or wrangle In the solid and harmonious ranks ot the reformers who have fought and won the most majestic victory In the later history ot this commonwealth. Nor do we think that It Is either good policy or solid patriotism that this difference In tho ranks of tho reform movement should be aired In the public prints and fulminated In public declarations on either side. The fact that this has been done and Is being done will necessarily do much to demoralize the ranks of tho reform element, and to cheat them of that success upon which the relief of the people depends. Statesmen of Infinitely smaller magnitude than these should realize that open and public wrangle between leaders over these mere questions of policy give Infinite comfort and courage to those who are fighting them. They convey the Impression to the outside public that reform Is In vital danger because of the division among Its friends. They encour age the opposition to fight with redoubled vigor to redeem lost ground and to return tho people to tho condition from which they were res cued by the last election. • Indeed there are those, and they are many, who believe that this di vision between the. leaders of the party has been cunningly developed and Is now 1>elng carefully fostered by some of the arch enemies of re form who have fought It from the beginning with energy and conspicu ous ability. We appeal most earnestly to theso distinguished men occupying theso responsible and Important positions that they should discuss and decide these divisions among themselves, and that no controversy should be allowed to convey to the public the damaging suggestion ot differ ence and division among the ranks of the people's friends and cham pions. It Is a policy of utter and almost criminal folly to do this. And as one who has fought sincerely and earnestly tor the reforms which are now In process of completion, we earnestly repeat the plea that our leaders shall be discreet ,!n the utterances of their division and that they shall remember so fully the high mission of reform that whea they can not agree, they will be wise and great enough and tolerant enough to "agree to disagree” and to compromise some ot their own opinions to the safety of the great common end that they have In view. This Is certainly no time for Intolerance and wrangle among the leaders of reform. God knows the battle has been long enough and hard enough and the victory too dearly bought to be forfeited to pride of opinion and difference* In mere method of accomplishing the great end of Reform. At this period tolerance Is a virtue and wrangle Is a crime against the people. A MIGHTY MODERN MOVEMENT. One of the tremendou* movements ot modern times Is the organiza tion ot great and distinguished American* who have banded themselves together under the title of the “Committee ot One Hundred," appointed by Section I ot the American Association for the Advancement ot Sci ence In the Federal Regulation of Public Health. It Is the most vital physical movement of the century. Inspired by the enormous Increase ot germ diseases from the development ot our later day civilization. The growth ot population, the multiplication of germs, the Infection of rivers, the awful etrldee of tuberculosis, have alarmed the world, and thoughtful men have cause In serious gravity to realize that the energy and wisdom of the race must unite to fight the conditions which aro menacing and world-destroying In their Increase and magnitude. This. "Committee of One Hundred” Includes most of the great names of the republic, from the president through Lyman Abbott, Jane Addams, Daniel Gilman, Archbishop Ireland. President Eliot down through the list ot active and militant minds in the country, and the evidences are gratifying that Interest Is becoming transcendent In the Issues which are Involved. i The committee Is preparing to memorialise the next congress for attention to these great dangers In the order of the|r Imminence, and is now canvassing the judgments ot Its members, as to which of the fol lowing questions presents the most Imperative demand for attention, and commands the widest popular approbation In justifying a marked Increase In the Federal regulation of public health: (a) The facts that the Ohio river represents a thousand miles of typhoid fever, and the Hudson river a cloaca maxima from Albany to the sea; the prevalence of death among millions, arising from the pollu tion of drinking water and of Ice. and the rapid increase of pollution of our rivers, the boundary lines between states, which only Federal regu lation can control; or. (b) The facts, tbst out of 80,000,000 ot our people, 8,000,000 must perish from tuberculosis, the white scourge, which with proper regula tion enforced by the Federal power can be exterminated as completely as the once dreaded smallpox; and that the uniform enforcement of national health regulations In all stateB .Is absolutely Imperative, be cause Infected persons travel from stat* to state spreading the dis ease; or. (c) The facts, that the bubonic plague has gained such a foothold In California that national aid was asked; that the plague has behind It a history ot devastation more terrible than human words can portray, and ebtnild it once gain a foothold In a crowded metropolis, and spo radic cases begin to develop, this disease will cost more In life and effort than the adequate appropriationa for a great national organization mrnsnAT, October it, iwt. of health operating over, the period of a generation. Only by extend ing tho national quarantine can other states be protected against lax ity In'the enforcement of health regulations by a single recalcitrant Bt&to; or, f (d) The facts, that the' milk supplies of cities are often drawn from adjoining states over which state control Is difficult to maintain; and that infant mortality varies directly with the purity of the milk supply; or. * (e) The facts, that tho public have no means of obtaining reliable health Information, and the thousand questions which anxious fathers and mothers ask themselves go unanswered simply because there Is no office at Washington equipped for the purpose. If strawberries wilt In New Jersey or Iambs (all sick In Arizona the Department of Agriculture gives elaborate instructions as to what should be done. But two mil lions of human beings die each year—a large fraction, and literally be cause they can not find out how to live. This Is a national movement that will doubtless become a world movement. It affects the health, the happiness, and the very life of every man, woman and child In the country, and It Is a matter of Indi vidual and universal rejoicing that the great men of tho republic are awake and astir for resistance to the perils that threaten every home In America. No question more important than this has'come before the people. No newspaper can do a better thing than to give It prominence and In dorsement. And the people should rally In the power and might of public opinion to press upon congress the great duty of liberal and fearless co-opera tion.

TEACHER8 PAY TRIBUTE TO MISS NANNIE JONES. If the toft radiance of a star, whose tender shining In one accustomed place had brought us Inspiration and comfort and help, should bo suddenly removed beyond our ken of vision, we might feel something of the tame amazed sorrowfulness with which those of ua who knew and loved Miss Nannie Jones realise now that she has passed forever from our preeent life. For sixteen years, with but little In terruption, the has been In her place in Fraser Street school, witli wisdom and patience and conscientious fidelity, helping the little ones to take their first steps in path ot knowledge, and Im pressing upon thslr young minds the principles ot truth and uprightness. She brought to her task, not only a noble Christian character, high Ideals, refinement, taste and strength to ac complish, but a wise sympathy and a merry, genial humor that banished many a difficult situation (or her little pupils. She had unusual executive ability, hidden to a large extent by her modesty, and so brightly and bravely did she fulfill her ‘duties In her home, her schools, with her Sunday school class snd among her friends, that not many knew of her capacity for gener ous self-sacrifice and devotion. Knowing how she will be missed In our school nod In her home, where her life was rounded out Into still greater usefulness and blessing, we offer the following: Resolved, That since by the hand of death Miss Nannie Jones has been taken from our mldat. wo express our sincere and loving appreciation of her life and character, and of her valuable and faithful work In our schools. Resolved, That to the family circle, so deeply bereaved, we extend our earnest sympathy. Resolved, That a copy of these reso lutions be sent to the family and to the daily paper*. MOLLIB STEVENS.

If th* child goes to school so far from home that a basket lunch la nec essary, no lea* care should be taken In preparing this makeshift for a meal. It should be put up daintily, the va rious kinds of food being neatly wrap ped In oiled paper. To aend a child to school with a lunch composed of "any ol(k thing" arranged In a liaphasard manner Is to Invite all kinds of Ilia to take possession of the Uttle stomach, •ays The Delineator for September. The first thing, of course, la to be sure that the lunch box or basket la absolutely clean. Then cut several pieces of oiled paper. In one you may put a number of small sandwiches.' Thinly sliced whole wheat bread with some sensible filling makes the best sandwiches, but there should be enougii of them to assuage the cravings of hunger. In another packet place some tasty sweet. Avoid pie assiduously, but any cuke that Is not too rich, and that has only a plain Icing, will answer the purpoee nicely. Fruit, too, should be added, with some crisp cookies, or ginger wafers, but do not he tempted to insert any candy, unless you chance to have a supply of absolutely purs maple sugar. Her III Luck.
