The Innovation for which The Georgian has ao earn estly plead In the establishment of . park squares and breathing'spaces in our crowded centers, seems to be taking hopeful shape. The board of education yesterday In a deliberate see-, slon. formally decided to establish play grounds for the' children of the city In two public school yardf. The As sociated Charities through Secretary Logan, Messrs. Krlcgshaber, J. K. Orr and Rev. C. H. Wllmer, have labor ed diligently and most'effectively In this cause, and they with The Georgian and the people of the city, are much rejoiced that the board of education has decided to make the experiment with these two school yards. What yards will be used will be subsequently determined by the super intendent, and the decision wilt doubtless be esgerly watched. It will now devolve upon all of those who are Inter ested, to see that this experiment Is made so abundantly successful during the present summer that the liberality of the board wilt be repeated and amplified during the next summer until every school yard will be a breathing space during the next heated term. This !| a movement along the definite lines of prog ress In this community. It Is a distinct expression of hu manity and of civilisation that we are pausing In the whirl of our strenuous life to provide places of breathing fresh air and recreation for the tollers young and old w ho And It a heavenly comfort now and then to get out of hot and steaming buildings and to breathe the oxone of this Incomparable air In refreshment and relnsplratton to their lungs and brains. In behalf of the community we congratulate the board upon Its liberal and progressive action, and pre dict for the experiment a success which will be pleasing to nil who have contributed to It. The Increase in Manufactures. The manufacturing Industries of the United Btatee crow so rapidly that the Interval between one census and another Is altogether too grqat. and when the succeeding enumeration comes around we And that we have advanced even beyond all expectations. S. D. N. North, the present director of the census, without waiting for 1910. has been busy securing Agures the Increase In manufactures during the Ave years hlch have elapsed since the last census was taken, and tho result Is little short of amaxlng. We And that this Is Indeed a great country, and that our wealth is Increasing more rapidly than during any period In our history. The Agures referred to were given out at a dinner which the director of the census recently attended, and show that-the capital now Invested in manufacturing nterprlses In this country Is $7,375,930,000 aa against $.">.166,172,000 In 1900, or an Increase of more than Afty per cent. This Is In face of the fact that the number of Individual conoerns has Increased but little more than Ave per cent. The number of salaried officials and clerks has Increased 41 per cent while the amount of salaries has Increased 51 per cent. The number of w age-earners has Increased 18 per cent while the amount of salaries has Increased twice that amount. The value of the products of manufacturing enter prises has Increased to almost $9,000,000,000 as against $6,807,000,000 five years ago, or an Increase of more than 31 per cent. These figures are so vast that the average lay mind cannot comprehend their full Import, but It must be re alized that the growth Is tremendous. The Agures prepared by Mr. North do not show the particular Industries which hare thus grown so tre mendously, but they do show the growth In the dif ferent states, and In thla the Booth may take a special pride. Down here, and In the newer states of the union, the largest Increase Is shown, while the smallest per cent Is ln the New Bngland states. For example. In Idaho the amount of capital Invested Increased $41.1 per cent; salaries of clerks and officials Increased 147 per cent; expenses Increased 66$ per cent, and tbs value of the products Increased 162.1 per cent In the Indian Territory the Increase In the number of establishments was 161.4 per cent, of capital 203.5 per cent, and of products T79.6 per cent. North Dakota Increased Its establishments 63$ per cent. In Oklahoma the number of establishments Increased 1091 per cent capital 335.3 per cent and the value of ih<- products 198.7 per cent. Delaware makes the smallest gain. The percentage of increase In establishments In this state Is three-tenths • >f l per cent, and the value of products but four-tenths at 1 per cent While the percentage of Increase In the number of factories in the Eastern states Is not great, the Eastern states hold up the Increased percentage In value of products. Connecticut for Instance, Increases Its value of products 17.1 per cent; Maine, $8.2 per cent; Massaehu- pctts, 23.8; New Hampshire 15.5; Vermont, 33.6, and It!. do Island, 23.1. Sags Brusn Nevada Increases her r— ducts 145.5 per cent; New Jersey, 40.1 per cent The completed Agures have not been tabulated for New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin, which are i mr of the largest manufacturing staves. The totals are Included In the table of grand totals given above, and the percentages of increase In these states are as satisfactory ■« In the others. The great Increase In manufacturing In the Sooth Is ent Arkansas Increases the value of Its products r cent; Florida, 46 per cent; Georgia, 59 per cent; •cky 36 per cent; Louisiana 67 per cent; Mississippi cent In the valuo of our manufactured products. Is more than bolding her own with what were once the commep dnl centers of the country and the Indications are for a continuance of this prosperity. The New York World la looking for the day of "shredded shirtwaists,” and presumably Is wearing a blind bridle. Dean Snelling of Franklin College. In commenting with cordial approval on yesterday upon the election of David C. Harrow as chancellor of the university. It was not tbe purpose or Intention of Tho Oeorglan to omit or to subordinate Its equal approval of tbe selection of Prof. Charles M. Snelling as dean of Franklin college and Vice Chancellor of tho University. The selection of Colonel Snelling as the yoke mate of Chancellor Barrow Is as eminently appropriate ss It was demonstrated upon the campns to bo eminently popular, Colonel Snelling Is the complement of Chancellor Bar- row. He has somo of the qualities which Professor Bar row haa not, and the two together make an admirable combination for most effective service to the university. Colonel Snelling Is full of tho dash and charm of mam ner that belongs to tho aggressive type of men. He has the brilliancy and the forcefulneai of tho soldier, and these things Joined to the sweetness and light of the beloved new chancellor will All tbe cup of the university to the brim of effective service. Colonel Snelling has grown upon the conAdence and regard of the atudent body, the alumni, the trustee! and the faculty during every year of his connection with tbe university. The manliness of bis temper, his scholarly training, his high courtesy, his courage and hia Armness Joined to his ample scholarship have won for him friends In multiplying quantities during every year ln bis Aeld of work. And In the same breath In which we congratulate the univerally upon Chancellor Barrow, we desire alio to con gratulate It upon the elevation and continued services of Dean 8nelltng. The Chicago Chronicle says "the Republican party baa been a strangely modest party.” Ye gods and HtUe Ashee. . , Senator Platt’s “Rest.” The announcement comes from Washington that Sen ator Platt has decided to “rest again.” Tbe senior senator from the great state of New York has done but little else during the present session of congress. He was In hls place during the Important de bates on the most vital bills only long enough to protect, as far aa he could, hla express company from tbe opera tion of tho rato bill, and disgusted all hls colleagues by hls sclOsh demands. When the time came be was quietly Ignored. Senator Morgan called attentloa recently In such vig orous terms to the absence from the senate of both the ambassadora from the state of New York that tbe aged boss hurried to Washington and sat in hls seat long enough to be seen, but the work was too onerous for him, and he has decided to go off end "rest again” at hls Country place. But It seems that even though he refuses to tulAll hls duties to hit constituents, he Is not to be allowed to rest, for tbe notorious Mae Wood, who has already Agurcd quite extensively In bis life drama, has recuperated from a "rest” she has been taking and haa brought forward the charge that she Is tbe legal wife of a the senator and that he Is consequently s bigamist. In ’evidence of this fact she produces a marriage certlAcate. duly signed by the officiating clergyman and r. hired man employed by Mr. Platt. True, there seems to be eome difficulty In locating tho clergyman and the witness. Mrs. Wood—or Platt, as the case may be—Intimates that these two have been spirited away by Senator Platt, but thla does not restrain her from carrying on her case. She does not seem to be quite certain what her purpose Is,'beyond the establish' ment of her marrlago. which she kept secret thus far, It Is allaged, at the request of Senator Platt, and the es tablishment, Incidentally, of her claim to a large share In the senator's fortune. She seems to be pretty well provided with money as It Is, ao that “her castle's strength may laugh a siege to scorn.” Whatever may be the merits of the case, there ap pears to be no probability that Mr. Platt will be able to enjoy undisturbed repose at hls roqntry horns or any where else. He will be badgered and harassed until this cause celebre la settled. Nemesis It working over time on Senator Platt. He sees himself dethroned from the bad eminence he has been able to attain through hls domination of New York politics- He secs the sceptre wrested from him by an un- lineal band, while the whole country becomes more and more Indignant at the spectacle of a great state—an em pire within Itself—absolutely unrepresented In the senate while the most Important legislation of modern times la being discussed and enacted. It seems to be a foregone conclusion that New York In very desperation will soon demand the resignation of her two senators, but In both Instances bow eloqusnt Is the reiterated lesson that the way of the transgressor Is very, very hard. name of tho new president of the Technological school. "Professor"' docs not roll trippingly upon the tongue, and the spirit and the custom of this age clamors always for an easy handle to every name that is of frequent use. And at this time when the new president of tho Techno logical school Is coming more and more Into the public eye aod upon tbe public tongue It bad come to bo a prac tical and linguistic necessity that we should have some briefer and simpler title by wbtcb to address him than "Professor” Matbeson. Wherefore, wo thank Washington and Lee University Now, If we might utilize this happy moment of sug gestion, we would remark that Chancellor Barrow also needs a shorter name and title than that which he hag. that the degree of L.L.D. would fit him like a glove, and that tbe people, young and old, who have to address tbe distinguished head of tbe university would deem It a fa vor to be authorized by some highly reputed college ot this country to speak hereafter of "Dr.” Barrow. “The man with the patch" Is not to be pltied- it's a strawberry patch.

Mr. Hester will be for several days the guest of Dr. and Mrs. Wilkins In Atlanta before going further to visit hls father In Albany.' H» Liket The Georgian, To the Editor of Tho Georgian. I like you. I am a native of Geor gia, and, by raising, an old-time Amer ican. I believe In the ten command ments and the constitution of our country, both written on statute- books and In the hearts of our fore fathers. I am glad your paper gives folks a rest on Sunday, and will not print a whisky advertisement. The rollicking. Irresponsible, money-mak ing, pleasure-seeking Sabbath and the modern saloon, with Its bum clubs,' are recent Inventions of tbe devil, and ex-- E orted across the sea from the land of Igh taxes and low morals. One of the most wasteful things any Individual or nation can do la to work or rip around on Sunday. The moat coatly thing In thla coun try to tha taxpayer and first-class cit izen la our legalised liquor traffic. The modern aaloon la our mother's burden and much more. I am ao glad The Georgian has put Itself alongside many other flrst-claes periodicals, and said to these colnere of money out of the manhood of our men and happiness of our mothers; You can't smear my apace. Again, I like you because you are everybody's paper and the common people's medium. “All coons look alike to you.” 1 see Slater Morris says, In sub stance: “Gentlemen don't elt while ladles stand.” That's my raising. You have heard why the hen was immor tal? Her son never sets. I am not quite that bad. The other day, a gen tleman friend and I got up to give some ladles a seat on a Marietta street car, and a woman and her lit tle eon, about three or four years old, spread out over the whole space. My notion was, that slater ought to have taken that child In her lap and aqueexed up a little herself. I believe In giving the weaker sex (physically) your seat, but I hate to see them act hoggish when they have the "drap on you." Agnln, I like your paper because you are asking for a breathing place In the midst of our rushing and high: reaching Atlanta. Neighbor Rosa man la right. If every’ fallow tries to elt down In the same >lace, somebody is going to get day- Ight mashed out of them. Atlanta fa great, and spreading herself, but Fulton le not quite full, and not all of Georgia yet absorbed. If slrns remain favorable, there will be lots of more folks In Atlanta after we add to the population of New Jeru salem. i They would thank us, both In Greater Atlanta and In the city of cities, If we should leave pretty lit tle perks dotting our splendid capital of the South. Your big friend nnd fellow-citizen, . UNCLE NATH. A Populiat on the Situation. To the Editor of The Georgian: In no plare do,actions speak louder than words oftener than In politics. I note the account of the meeting of the Populist executive committee In the Kimball House on last Thursday. I had rather risk a men's Populism or Democracy, who lets hls action or works speak for him, than him who yells at tha top of hie voice, "1 am a Democrat or Populist” at every oppor tunity. Now. Mr. Yancey Carter who seemed to take a leading part In the deliberations ot last Thursday. It seems to me he was lining with the wrong gang, when he spoke of Tom Watson, as “your much vaunted leader.” Now, If any man luu suf fered for the principles of Populism, or any man's works or actions have proclaimed him true to those ancient democratic principles, that man la Tom Watson, nnd Tom la still working, without much "I am”, yelling, toward the same goal. Mr. Yancey Carter also said; “Thet a man who voted for Clark Howell, lloke Smith or Dick Ruraell te not a good Popullet.” Please permit me to say without attributing any great "I amtam" to myself, that I have been unanimously elected chairman of the executive committee of the Populiat party of Johnson county for the last twelve years, and we have not lost a battle during the time. We polled a big majority for Judge Hlnee when he was elected gov ernor of Georgia, and a big majority for Tom Watson when he ran for president of the United States, and now atand ready to poll a big majority for Hoke Smith whan the time comes. And here we rest, willing for our prin ciples and patriotism to be measured by our actions and works, and not by loud mouthed "I am” proclamations. We now stand ready tb call the Popu- 11st party of Johnson county together when so ordered to do so by the chair man of the state executive committee of the Popullet party. But we are not willing to follow an executive com mittee which In turn must have been modeled after the Russ douma. We have no fault of Judge Hlnee or Tom Watson, and believe If true, unadul terated patriotism entitles gentlemen to be tenned much lauded leaders they are entitled to be thus termed, all the I-am-lsts to the contrary notw.|htand- Ing.

John Temple Graves was editor of The Atlanta News, we wrote an article for that paper urging abolishment of the fee system In the courts ot our state. Since then the Fulton county grand Jury came out In strong terms con demning the present methods allow-. Ing the solicitor generate, sheriffs and county clerks to collect ail the moneys paid In aa lines and appropriate same to their own use. Instead ot turning same Into the county treasury, as should be done. We are glad to note that our county (Jackson) had a bill passed at the last session of the legislature placing the county solicitor and clerk of court on a salary, and provided that all money received as tines and costa be turned Into tbe county treasury utter paying a reasonable salary to the solicitor and clerk. A neat sum haa gone to the county's credit, besides removing frym these officers all temptation to, run the court as a money-making machine. If the legislature at Its next session does nothing more than place the so licitor generals, clerks of the superior courts and sheriffs on a salary, and abolish the present fee system, they will have done their state a great ser vice.

New York, June 21.—Beverly Farms, Mass., Is congratulating Itself on hav ing for the summer Baron Von Stern berg, the German ambassador, and hls beautiful American wife. The Baron- Von Sternberg la one of the fa mous Langham sisters, the trio of which are named by a poetically In clined mother Violet, Lily and Ivy. The Baroness answers to the name of Lily. Lily Langham met "Speckle.” as tha president calls him, abroad. Two years ago she accompanied him home to America. In Washington he represents hie royal master, "The Dictator of the Unnverae," Wilhelm III. The kaiser Is said to have been greatly pleased at the match, for while Allas Langham Is not an heiress In her own right, she comes of a distinguish ed and wealthy family and Is possessed of a natural charm and tact that is said to have won the Instant admira tion of the German ruler when she was presented at the. German court. When the baron was sent to the United States as ambassador It was announced that the kaiser was sending an "Ambassador of Love.’’ Hls wife has royally tried to sustain the right to thla title. She haa made the Ger man embassy functions In Washing ton popular throughout the diplomatic corps. „ Another New England summer re sort which Is rejoicing because of a diplomatic summer resident Is Am herst, Maes. The Chinese minister, Sir Chen Tung Liang Cheng, Is to spend the summer there and with' him will be Mies May Liang Cheng, who Is the only daughter of the Chinese min ister to this country. Little Miss Liang, like the piquant celestial that shs Is, takes a shy In- tsrest In ths social functions of the diplomatic circle of the capital city. Rumor has parslstently repotted this oriental debutante as engaged. When confronted with this gossip the other day .the little visitor laughed, shook her head and pattered away to the roomy conservatory In ths Chinese legation. Mrs. Alfred Gwynne Vanderbilt has M-t another fashion In which the ultra- fashionables at Newport doubtless will follow. While Mr. Vanderbilt has been mak ing speed records between this city and Newport for the last fortnight, hls wife may be seen sailing her 80-foot Cn- <prlce in Narragansett bay. It Is hard to beat the Long Island farmer. The admixture of Yankee and Dutch mokes a combination which can be depended upon to look out tor Itself. Lucky Rhodes, ot Oakfleld, has been annoyed by W. K- Vanderbilt's deer, which evinced a great fondness for hls wheat fields, and made up hls mind to stop them. He rigged up two poles and hung on a cord several pans and cowbells. To these he attached a ffsh line long enough to reach across the field and barnyard to the bed room where he slept. He tied the line to hls right wrist and at Intervals during the night woke up and gave It .a tug. 'This, of course, set the milk pans clattering, the cow bells ringing and the deer scamp ering for cover. Now It Is Mr, Vander bilt's fields that ths deer visit. A new use has been found for the auto when Samuel Westervelt, secre tary of the Tenafly, N. J., board of ed ucatlon, and a long trusted superln tsndent In Lord & Taylor's, disappear ed. Two searching parties In autos began the hunt tor him, their only clew be ing foot prints leading toward the pal isades. Into which from time to time, they fitted one of the man's shoes. In the woods the trait was lost, but all night they ran the motors through the brush, searching with lanterns. Just as they were about to give up, the body was found face downward In eighteen Inches ot water. Julius Botkin, who keeps • restau rant at 45 Franklin street, declares that he Is done with wild cats. A friend In New Meriden sent him one. The wild cat escaped from its box dur ing the noon hour, cleaned the res taurant out of Its customers and chew ed Mr. Boston's coat before a policeman killed it.

To the Editor of The Georgian: The friends of "Plain Dick" Russell are taking great prida and pleasure in the aplendld campaign he Is mak ing, and In the evidences hf solid and substantial Increase In strength and popularity. Rev. J. J. Bennett has Just been elected to succeed Dr. Jameson as sec retary of the Baptist Atlaslon. He Is, therefore, one of the moet prominent Baptist ministers of the state. Writ ing from Qrlffln to the Jackson Herald, Mr. Bennett says: "I am not In politics, but I am op posed to detraction and misrepresen tation. This leads ms to say a word to Judge Russell's home county through The Herald. What I am about to say la dona without Judge Russell's knowl edge or consent "In all fairness to ths judge.

Judgtog from tbs papers, ona would think that ha la not In tba race: that tha people are looking upon hls raca with a mixture of 'pity aod compassion.' Now, 1st me tell you something. The people of Jackson county may feat proud of him. I can't speak of other sections; but I can apeak ot what I have seen In Griffin. Two months ago If he had a dozen friends In the county I didn't know It. Spalding county was seemingly almost a unit for another candidate. He come two days ago, however, made three speeches In different parts of ths city, and now you can count hls friends and supporters by the hundreds. "Hls main speech delivered at the BIJou theater was pronounced by soma of tha bralnaat men In the city decid edly the fairest political speech ever heard In Griffin.

A wonderful, subtle, many-sided power, striking a respon sive chord within the soul of each In dividual coming under Ka Influence. By the great law of attraction. "Ilka attracts like,” so this universal re sponsiveness of all souls to beauty must meqp that somewhere within each of us there Is something beautiful. Only a vary little seeking reveals this something In the perfect soul of man. ao sensitively attuned aa to be touched by even tbe airy beauty of a tinted bubble, tossed by a playful wind. Only a little uncovering brings out tha manifestation of Its perfec tions so that he who runs may see and faal. The power of beauty has been fslt throughout all the ekes: strong men have died for thp power of beauty In a woman's fare and form. Great poems have been written, great pictures painted through ths power of beauty In nature. Great thoughts have been born, great deeds Inspired, through tha power of beauty In a noble life. Callous hearts have been softened, selfish lives have been awed through the power of beauty In a great sacrl flee. Many burdens are being lightened, many pathways made less rough, and angel choirs ara heralding the day when the troubled world will be at peace, all united by the power of beau ty In brotherly love.

Having been accustomed to the reading of such papers aa Ths Chicago Tribune and The Chicago Dally News, the writer was lost when he first took up hls residence In your city, owing to the lack ot a really first class newspaper, morning or evening.

In tha very midst of the mag nificent group of towering office pal aces, there Is one place without a sin gle expansive structure or Improve ment. Surrounded as It Is. with all tha grand commercial structures of the vary heart of Atlanta, It would seem, Indeed, that Providence had In some mysterious way, kept In reserve this very spot that tha people ot the 1 and untold generation yet un- . night have just here a fountain from which to quaff the life-giving elixir of God'e precious nectar; abund ance of oxone-laden air, distilled through the 1 ceres of the tress, and scented with the perfume of nature's floral laboratory, and mellowed Into one exquisite bland of refreshing ex- hllarttlon with tbe added aroma of freshly mown grass lawns and wall kept shrubbery.
