HAS ATLANTA STOPPED GROWING?
The directory canvass of Atlanta Just completed shows, upon the ac
cepted baala of computation In such cases, a population of 1(58,000 for this
city and suburb*—ten thousand Increaso over the canvass of a year ago.
This year we have eight hundred more school children than last; two
thousand one hundred new homes: four hundred vacant houses against
seven hundred last year, and the vacant ones, as most of us know, unfit
to live In—for If there Is one thing moro difficult to find In Atlanta than
anything else, It Is a house to live In.
Few of our citizens have stopped to reason out the economic condi
tions of our country, and particularly of the 8outb, as they relate to our
city or even our state. Land In the south central states In 1860 was
worth fourteen dollars an acre—It la not now worth eleven dollars an
acre.
Why was It worth more fifty years ago than It la now? It is the
same land, the same sunshine, the same dew and rain—has fertility left
It—does It grow less cotton? No, no. Labor has left It. Tbe negro,
who was regulated in 1860 and. by major force, was made to earn his
honest living, keep and live a clean and healthy life, has since grown to
be a pest—a child of bis own whims and weaknesses, and where he Is
hardly worth $25 a month, when free to practice.vice and drunkenness,
convicts aro leased for as high as >50 a month, where the results of
tbelr weaknesses are restrained. But we arp asked what bearing this has
on our cities or our state and their growth, Sltpply this:
Our cities depend absolutely upon the productive parts, of our-sectlon
—our manufactures depend absolutely upon the demands of the country’
districts, because nearly 90 per cent of our population In the South is In
tbe rural districts, and while we have five billions of dollars In manufac
tures In the United States, most of which is not in the South, we have
twenty-one billions In agriculture, a large portion of which la In the
South. What then makes for weal or woe In our cities or In our state,
what element Is lacking? Labor—labor—labor. What la labor—agricul
tural labor—In the South? It Is tbe negro. Ho makes up one and one-
quarter million of Georgia's population, 850,000 of Alabama's, 280,000 of
Florida's and so on—approximately one-half onr population In the South
ern states. And It he worked to one-half the advantage that he did In
times gone by. we would hardly be able to find markets for our pqoduct.
But such la not the case. Ho la not the producer he ought to be, and we
can not prosper as We ought until he becomes such. ,
We bare passed laws from time to time to regulate vices. We have
tried to make many crimes more difficult for the weaker race, and last of
all, tbe people of this state saw fit to pass a law that will, at least, vastly
restrict the possibilities of the negro race getting drink as it now gets it.
Alabama la doing the same, and the effort bids fair to spread to all’states
with large negro populations. i
Is It likely that the negro population of voting age, about 38 per cent
of which ft illiterate, will flnd.lt as easy to get drink In the South after
It Is restricted by a prohibition law as It has been heretofore since they
became citizens?
la there a merchant or a real estate man who kuows so little of his
dependence for success upon the needs of our agricultural districts as to
doubt the outworking! of a law that will make a better laborer for the
farmer If It does nothing else? I* there a mim so narrow that he would
be unwilling to see a prohibition law hovering protecting!)- over the
homes of eleven millions of negroes south of the Ohio river? U there Is,
he Is so Ignorant of the economic forces that govorn us that his opinion
shonld not bo considered.
Eliminate one hundred millions of cotton crop from Georgia, and
toll nt bow long our Century building, our Candler building, our Fourth
National Bank building and our other buildings would !>e busy with their
armies of workers. Tell us, Mr. Merchant, where you would be with
your three to flvo hundred clerks? Tell us, Mr. Real Estate Man, who
would buy and rent your homes? Give the best manager of farm help the
South has today the labor he needs, and he says bo could as easily raise
a thousand bales of cotton as he now raises six hundred. Then make
Georgia’s cotton crop one hundred and fifty millions of dollars Instead of
one hundred millions, and tell us where the money w ill go if It doesn't
go to the city.
Our cities are not productive. Everything the human race uses to
day Is produced by tho worker either of the soil or the mine, away from
the city, and the cities work it over and sell It back to the country and
to their neighbors who aro doing the same things In other cities.
Sentiment need not enter Into tho argument. We may forget tho
cases where homes of our white peoplo will be benefited—We may accept
the hypothesis that white men who want strong drink will get as much
of It as they do now If they choose to take the trouble. But no man can
look at the question from the cold-blooded standpoint of business and
show wherein tyc can do other than benefit Industrially, and In every
other possible way, if tho weaker race Is hindered In the securing of an
element that makes him a poorer cltlson—a moro worthless laborer—»
more Inhuman brute—an enemy to himself, his country and his God.
The Georgian does not consider the matter solely from this stand
point. As men who believe In tho prevalence of right and sobriety, we
believe tho benefit of the doubt lies In but one direction. An business
men conducting a healthy business enterprise that.has much to do with
the prosperity or Impediment of a community, we believe wc see a lit
tle further into tbe future thau some of our neighbors, whose vision
only reaches the balance on today’s oash book and—"his wife, his son
John and hts wife."
Many men In our midst would tie hardly less than gratified If they
could point to the depression we have experienced as a result of the acts
of the supporters of what seems to them radicalism. It should not he
less than a source of greatest satisfaction to the thinking people, who
have acted In accordance with what they believed the best interests of
our soctlon, to see that the worat depression has been elsewhere than In
Georgia, and that we have seen a real security hold cotton at It has
never been held before for Just prices—and a complete upsetting of all
the calamitous predictions of the worst of our pessimists.
More people.
More school children.
More homes.
Moro houses occupied.
jSsloon property being rented.
More cotton.
More crops.
Moro Happiness.
We are grateful that It t* so.
THE LIBRARY OF SCHOOL OF TECHNOLOGY.
The "book shower" to be given Friday afternoon. November 22. at
the-library of the Georgia School of Technology should enlist the gener
ous-rand sympathetic Interest of the cltlxent of Atlanta. No Institution,
educational or otherwise, reflects a greater glory upon the community
and upon the state at large than the School of Technology, which yearly
■ends out Into tbe world young men thoroughly equipped to cope with
the wonderful Industrial and commercial development of the present
time. As la well understood, the graduates of the Tech now rank as the
peers of the alumni of any other similar edncatlonal institution and com
mand salaries comparative with those paid to graduates from even the
older technological schools of the country.
Through the efforts of Dr. K. a. Matbeson, president of Tech, and
the generosity of Mr. Andrew Carnegie, a library has been established
which la a credit to the school and of Inestimable value to the students
of the Institution. The Initiative In this movement was taken as early as
1902 by Dr. Matheson, when he occupied the chair of English at the Tech.
Hit Idea at that time was to secure a collection of desirable books which
would prove both Instructive and entertaining to the students. Since
then the library baa grown In value and Importance and Mr. Carnegie's
contribution of $20,000 enabled the faculty to erect an attractive and ap
propriate library building on the college campus.
Because of the expense essential to suitably equip tbe building. It
has been found necessary to appeal to the cltlsens of Atlanta for contri
butions of hooka for tbe library, and next Friday afternoon has been
designated as the time for the "book shower." While a suggestive list of
books Is published in The Georgian, the accomplished librarian, Mlsa
Laura Hammond, and the faculty of Tech will appreciate the donation
of any good books appropriate for a college library, either relating to
Action or science.
It la to be hoped that the “book shower" Friday afternoon will be
largely attended and that the contributions shall be generous In the ex
treme. If any one interested In this admirable project should find It im
possible to attend the "shower" personally, It 1»‘ to be hoped that they
will not fall to send a contribution of books to Dr. Matheson, or to Miss
Hammond. The result of the "hook shower" Friday afternoon should be
a library so full and complete as to excite tho admiration of every col
lege In the South, and which would prove an Inspiration for similar ef
fort on the part of every advanced educational institution In Georgia.
No one concerned about the moral and Intellectual development of the
young men of the state can afford to Ignore this modest appeal for as
sistance from the president and faculty of the Georgia School of Tech
nology.
CLEAN COLLEGE SPORTS IN THE BALANCE.
A great principle la Involved In the charges brought against the foot
ball team of the University of Georgia, whether tho full proof of the al
legations made Is forthcoming or not, and that principle lies In the In
tegrity and cleanness of college athletics.
The very life of college sports Is at bar. That clean, wholesome col
lege athletics, untainted with even the suspicion of professionalism, Is
conducive to a sound mind In a sound body, no one even questions, and
need not be defended here.
Certain definite charges have been made against the honesty and
squareness of the methods employed In building up a football team at the
University of Georgia. Bluntly, the charge specifically made Is that pro
fessional players from distant points were hired and paid In money for
playing In a particular game. Tho charges were made by newspaper
' sporting writers of the highest standing. They are not the enemies of
the University of Georgia—only the friends of clean college athletics.
The charges were actuated by no ulterior motives. They embraced
no reflection on tho faculty or the student body of the University of
Georgia. Not even by Implication has there been said anything to throw
suspicion on the men who guide the destinies of that great oollege. No
one believe*; If there Is real substance In the charges, that the faculty
had the shadow of suspicion that aught was wrong.
The point is this, that for tho sake of college sports there should be
the most painstaking investigation to prove or disprove the charges pre
ferred. In no other way can this feeling of doubt and uncertainty in the
minds of the public as to the honesty of the athletic administration of col
leges all over the country be set at rest In no other way can this In
tangible, and mayhap, unfounded, apprehension of questionable methods
be removed.
It is a misguided spirit of college pride to believe that any good can
come of honors won on the Held of physical prowess by anything but the
fairest and cleamest methods. There should not be even basis for the
breath of suspicion, much less its substance.
‘ With a feeling of pride In the past history of tho University of
Georgia, with jealous regard for her unblemished future In everything,
Tho Georgian asks that no stone be- left unturned to bring out the whole
and unvarnished truth In this unfortunate affair. And In tbo same con
nection,, this paper adheres to the doctrine of clean, wholesome, untaint
ed athletics In every college, small or large, throughout tho length and
breadth of the country. .
OLD GLORY’S FORTY-SIXTH STAR.
The forty-sixth star gleams In Old Glory today.
Oklahoma becomes a full-fledged state and takes her place among hor
forty-five sisters, who give hearty welcome to the newest member of tho
great family.
William J. Bryan, in his notable address here during tho state fair,
said that the constitution of Oklahoma was the roost perfectly drawn In
strument that he had ever seen—notwithstanding the assertions of Secre
tary Taft to the contrary.
Oklahoma begins her statehood In the Democratic column and with
statutory prohibition. In tho elections, tho people of tho two territories
combined, Oklahoma and Indian Territory, declared overwhelmingly for
prohibition.
The now state is the only one In the forty-six with the powers of
the Initiative and referendum so foil. The people will rule, and if they
do not. It will not bp because full authority Is not vested in them. By
I he referendum, tbo legislative body and the chief executive can be over
ridden. It may never be necessary to Invoke this right, hut If it should
become so, tbe people have the power.
Oklahoma'begins her statehood rich, prosperous and powerful. It Is
peopled’With a groat and progressive citizenship. It has vast resources of
field anVT itilno. It has tremendous undeveloped resources. It has room
and tho'promise-or plenty for thousands who are trilling to labor with
hand and mind. And Oklahoma will come. %
Georgia sends greetings today to her new sister!

BOOK SHOWER PLANNED
FOR LIBRARY AT THE TECH j
ltlllllllllN.«IIMU»HWIHWWWMWWWI»IWM.HWWMWH.lWIMWUWM«IWWUWUItHIU||| W j
For the purposo of Interesting friends
of the school In tbe library which has been
established In connection with It, a "book
shower" Is to be held at the library of
tbe Georgia School of Technology on the
afternoon of November 22. This "shower"
will he In the natnre of a bouse worming,
end It Is expected that friends of the lost!
totlon will arall themselves of tho oppor
tunity to make gifts of needed books.
Cash donations for baying books will be
Jnst ns acceptable as the books themselTes.
With ths development of the school of
technology esme s disposition to accumu
late n collection of books, and through ear
nest effort. Dr. K. G. Matheson was able,
mostly through genornus gifts of the cltl-
sens of Atlanta, to found and equip a small
library, which he had seen wa* a necessity
to the college. This wa* about 1902, and
Dr. Matheson was at tbat time occupying
the cbslr of English. Ills Idea at flrat was
to get In this collection iu*h books as would
give the students a taste for good rend ng,
and tome elevating entertainment as wel|.
Factor In College Life.
Sines then, year by year, he has ieen
the library grow until It ban become a
veritable workshop for students ami faculty
alike. Through Mr. Carnegie a cencroaltv,
he has been able to aecure 820,000 for the
beautiful library building which today
adortit the campus. ...
The founding of a library I. a fact of
grdf.t significance In the Ilf* of a college.
The moat vital part of the fatatlectnal life
of the college Is Ita reference library. A
college library Is not a mere convenience,
but a necessity; not a niero reading room,
but n workshop, for It Is to tbe library
that the student Is referred to tho sources
of Information In whatever department ho
