THE GEORGIAN COMES TO GEORGIA AS THE SUNSHINE A man may well bring a horae to the water. But he cannot make him drink without he will. —Heywood. Reform the Slaughter Houses. The revelation! made before the spsdat committee of council on Tuesday afternoon a* to the inefficiency of meat Inspection, the quantity of diseased meat ofTered tor sale, and the unaanltary metboda of (laughter, have sent a shudder through tho people of Atlanta, and crys tallized the determination that something ahall be done to Improve existing condition*. It was through the columns of The Georgian that the attenUon of tha general public was Drat called to the out rageous condition of affaire existing here. It wae Infor mation received In this office end publlahed on July 4 which first opened the eye* of the people to the fact that they were buying meat which wae totally and flagrantly unfit for consumption. It Is greatly to the credit of the authorlUea that they promptly took up the matter. Council nppolnted a spe cial committee, headed by Mr. W. L. Taylor, to investi- gata the situation and ma)te such recommendation* as It aaw proper. The hearings before this special committee on Tues day more than confirmed The Georgian's reports that dis eased cattle, slaughtered by unsanitary method*, were being sold to the peoplo of Atlanta. The whole affair, as It now stands exposed, smells to heaven, and the moat draaUe measures should be adopted at once to protect the people of Atlanta. There Is no charge against the Inspectors exoept that they have more work to do under the present system than they can pos sibly attend to. It Is the system which la fundamentally wrong, and It Is tha system that should be entirely re formed. Now that the evidence, abundant and complete, has been furnished by men who are best qualified to know and to speak on the subject, the agitation must re sult In reforms that are thorough and searching. The consensu* of opinion aeem* to be In favor of the establishment of a central abattoir, through which all meat for consumption In the dty must pais, after a close and adoquate Inspection. If It Is Impracticable to have but the one central slaughter house, then let the number be reduced to three or four, and the number of Inspectors so Increased that they can properly Inspect every ounce of meat sold to the people ot this city. The demand for some auch arrangement comas, not merely from the consumers, but from the meat deal era ot every claas who have the Interests ot the trade and of the people at heart When It la officially announced that only three of the fourteen slaughter houses tn and around Atlanta are In good sanitary oondltlon, the crisis seems to have been reached, and no time should be lost In making an abso lute and thorough reform. | themselves Introduced thl* bill will go back on their own signed agreement. But The Georgian bate* to see the manufacturers put themselves In this false position and this unfavorable light And we desire, respectfully, to submit to them the following additional consideration*. Do they recall that the present house voted 61 to 70 for an amendment forbidding any child under Id to work mors than eight hours a day? Have they recognized the fact that two-thirds of the members of the next legislature have been nominated on a, strong child labor platform? Can they not see that In the present temper A Friendly Word to the Manufacturers. The legislature of 1900 had before It a child labor hill which received but 86 votes In the honse. A better bill received 76 rote* In the house of 1908. The present house, In 1906, gave 103 votes to the Bell bill, a majori ty of 41. A few days ago the house voted for an Im proved bill by a majority ot 121, the vote standing 116 to ;. That accurately represents the progress of thla re form tn Georgia. The senate last summsr defeated the house bill by a rote ot 13 to 17. When the senate met this term, the following gentlemen signed and Introduced a bill whose terms had been agreed upon In conference: Senators Hand, Candler, Miller, Bunn, Hogan, 8trange, Bond, Ben nett. McHenry. Steed, Wheatley, Birmaus, Csrltbers, Foy, Blood worth, Westbrook, Adams, Crum, Peyton, Foster, Furr. Lumsdeo, GrayblU, Copelan and Carswell—twenty- fire tn att, two more than the constitutional majority. It was ascertained that at least five other senators favored the passage of the bill. Of course It Is granted that this bill should have taken the orderly procedure ot pasting the senate and being offered to the house. Instead of that a transcrip tion made a slight difference between the bouso and ths senate committee, which simply carries out the Intent of the original senate bill. The Georgia Industrial AssoclaUon at Its recent meet ing agreed among themselves that they would offer no opposition to the passage ot the Bell bill ot last summer. We wish to point out that the pending measure and the Bell bill differ In only two particulars. The senate bill, being more carefully drawn. Is a more effective measure, and aurely no one wantg such a law to be another dead letter statuter The other difference Is a provision giving an opportunity for children of school age to attend school twelve weeks In the fifty-two, and to make this opportunity available, the bill forbids a child of school age to work one year unless the child shall b*ve attended school the preceding year. This Is not even compulsion, but an Inducement to send the child to school. And now it Is said that the manufacturers are op posing this humane measure, one Id the Interests ot edu cation. The senators have been bombarded with tele grams and a hearing has been ordered for those opposing the bill. We desire to say that In view of the claims, many of them well-founded, that these manufacturer* are th* patrons of education, the builders and supporters ot schools, they cannot afford to put themselves In this attitude of opposing this reasonable educational provis ion for their own employees. ' W* are unarming to believe that th* senators who next legislature? And that If the pending measure Is de feated, the criticism of press and people on Its defeat last year will be as the gentle summer breeze to the storm of Indignation and of condemnation that will break upon the head of every one responsible in any way for Its de feat? The manufacturers of Osorgta are wlss men. We be lieve they can rsad th* signs of the times. The Pan-American Congress. Early tomorrow Secretary Root will arrive at Rto do Janeiro, and the Pan-American congress, which has adjourned to that date, will take up the more Important measures which are to come before It. This Is the third session of this congress, which was set on foot by James O. Blaine, the first session having been held sixteen year* ago in Washington when he was secretary of state, and the second session tn the City ot Mexico In 1901-2. At the latter session a great deal was done In the Interest of the Pan-American republics, Including a de cision that these sessions should bo held thereafter every five years, Instead of ten, snd It Is in pursnance of this determination that the present congress is being held in Rio. Seventeen republics ot North, Central and South America will be repreaented, and because ot the trade relations -between the South, at least through our South ern ports, it may be regarded as having a special Interest for the people of this section.. That It may be mad* a power for good in our com mercial relations, which find a natural expansion with the countries to the south of us, goes without saying, but It I* agreed that-the most Important question to be dis cussed by the present session of the congress la the Drago doctrine, which la sometimes called a corollary of the Monroe doctrine. This principle was enunciated by Dr. Louis M. Drago, learned publicist of Argentina, and take* the position that foreign countries have no right to secure the set tlement of debt by force. It will be remembered that considerable excitement prevailed In 1891 when the fleets of three foreign pow ers—Great Britain, Germany and Italy—arrived In Ven- esuelan waters with the avowed purpose of forcing Ven- exuela to require certain citizens to pay obligations ow ing to the subjects of the three powers of Europe. Argentina was the first South American country to raise a note ot protest, which was embodied In the doc trine enunciated by Dr. Drago, then minister of foreign affairs for Argentina. The sentiment became so strong that tho three foreign powers were glad to avail them selves ot the good offices ot the United States and with draw their fleets on the understanding that the matter be left to The Hague tribunal, fearing a consolidation of the western hemisphere on the Idea that such dobta coull not be collected by force. It will be remembored that the award ot The Hague tribunal was against Venesuela, which Immediately raised the cry that the tribunal was packed by European credi tor nations. There have bean suggestions that The Hague tribunal be asked to decide whether force should be used Id the collection of debts, aa an International proposition, and If ao to what extent, tn view of the decision of the tribunal In the Venesuela case, the suggestion of submit ting the question to The Hague Is opposed by some of the South American republics, and thla la one of the most Important questions to be decided. President Roosevelt has gone very far toward establishing the precedent that such force can be used. It Is pointed out that this government forced the settle ment ot the Salvador Improvement Company's claim against Salvador and Is again pursuing the same course toward Venesuela In the matter ot the asphalt claims. The occasion acquiree a unique Importance by reason of the presence and participation of the secretary of state of this country, a higher dignitary than has ever before represented the United States on a similar occasion. While this Is one ot the most Important features of the program. It Is by no means all, and the special In terests ot the South may be regarded aa safe In the hands of Hon. Van Leer Polk, ot Tennessee, and Hon. A. J. Montague, of Virginia. The Charleston’s Dimensions. The trip of Secretary Root on the cruiser Charleston round South America has created an Interest In the pub lic mind to know all about her. Will you please publish In The Georgian her dimensions, and th* size ot her bat tery. I hear It Is light—not heavlsr than six-inch guns. Remembs/, this Is the second cruiser ot the name; the first was w.-ecked on the coast of th* Island of Luzon Novemuer 7. 1899, without loss of life. Yours truly, T Rome. Ga. M. F. GOVAN. The armored cruiser Charleston, built In 1901-2, has a displacement of 9,700 tons, carries 14 6-lnch guns, has two torpedo tubes, 21,030 horse-power and develop* a ■peed of 211-2 knots. She is of the same class as the St. Louis snd Milwaukee. England’s Support of the Douma. Oqe can well Imagine the peculiar delight with wHIch Sir Henry Campbell-Bannerman, the premier of Great .Britain, glorified the Russian'douma. members ot which were'at the moment sitting In the Interparlia mentary conference being held at Westminster, and In the warmth of hta seal shouted, “The douma la dead; long live the douma!” There was an answering shout from the members present, Indicating qlenrly the atUtude of the friends of representative government, and not the least from the English members themselves. Before the shouts bad died away th* members of the douma sorrowfully an nounced that Inasmuch as the Russian parliament had been dissolved, they would be compelled to withdraw from the conference and return to their homes, nor could they be dissuaded from their purpose. How England must view the present crisis In Russia can only be understood In the light of the long history of Russian snd English hatred. Like the negro question In the South, the “Russian question" has always been a name to conjure with, oa the part of British statesmen. Liberal or conservative, no matter which party may have been In power, the mention of danger from Rus sia was sufficient to unite the government on anything which might otherwise Imperil the unity and solidarity of the ministry. Mr. Gladstone was accustomed to In voke It, aiKl when DlRraell attempted to flout It he was swept from power. It looms always In the background like “the pestilence that walketh In darkness and the destruction that wasteth at noonday.” Englishmen know that the one overmastering am bition of the Russian empire Is to secure a southern outlet and that the Invasion of India Is liable to occur at any time. Then, too. they remember tbe blood that has been spilled for which Russia was responsible. In all tbe military annals ot Great Britain for a hundred years she has never come out of any conflict with less glory than she did In the Crimean war. and tbe consciousness of the fact atill rankles In her heart. The ties of blood which bind the English sovereign to the czar, the love ot peace which Is the inspiration ot the present Interparliamentary conference are all very well In their way. But the people of England do not conceal tbe fact that they find comfort and hope In the Impending change of tbe form of Rusila's government It la not to he wondered at therefore, that they ap plauded the vigorous words of the liberal leader In tbe conference yesterday, when he shouted “The douma It dead; long live tho douma.” , CHANGE THE TIME FOR ELECTIONS. To the Editor of The Georgian i Several years ago tbe time of meeting of tbe leglala- ture was changed from fall to summer, but the elections continue to be held In October. It may be remarked that there are only five states that do not begin their leg islative sessions In January, Granting that tbe summer suits us best, there ai'e, however, objections against our present system of primaries and elections. In tbe first place nearly all tho county primaries are held after a legislator has served only one of the two legislative sessions for which he was elected. His record Is passed on before It is only half made up. Again, our present method works badly In the elec tion of senators. Senator Bacon's term will expire March, 1907. The law ot the United States directs that his successor shall be elected by the legislature “which Is chosen next preceding the expiration of the time tor which he was elected.” This legislature will be elected In October. It will not meet till June. Senator Bacon's time Is out, remember, In March. The law does not seem to contemplate special sessions of the legislature for the election ot senators, but If this were allowable It would cost several thousand dollars. If no special session Is called the governor would appoint a senator that would hold the place till the legislature should meet In regular session and elect a successor. And this would occur twice every six years. Another objection to our present system relates to the matter of gubernatorial succession. If Governor Tef- rell should die. resign or become disabled during tho eight months between the election In October and the meeting of the legislature In June there would not be any legal successor ready to take his place. The con stitution says that the speaker of the senate shall suc ceed the gorernor but the senate would not have met and of course It would not have any speaker. These objections would be avoided If we should have our elections, as we used to do, two weeks before the meeting of the legislature. Under tbe old regime there were none of the above objections to arise. Legislators were not selected till after their two terms of session. The time of expiration of ono senatorial term found a successor duly and regularly elected, and the president of the senate was elected at practically tha aa mo time when the governor waa Inaugurated. There are difficul tly ((implications in tin- wav -if making such a change, but I will not discuss them now. According to the constitution the time for the election of members (if the legMatur,- ns well UK tbe time of meeting can le- changed “by law,” so It seems that a constitutional amendment would not be necessary'. Oxford, Ga. EDGAR H. JOHNSON. CHIPS OFF THE OLD BLOCK. - to the Editor ot The Georgian: “Father,” said the Trusts to their venerable sire, tho Tariff, “father we have been Indicted for ‘conspiracy in restraint of trade.'" “Oh! boys, how could you be so naughty!" exclaimed Papa Tariff In pained surprise. “Nonsense, my dear Tarry,” Interposed Mrs. Tariff (nee Selfishness), "I really am surprised at you blaming the dear children for taking after their own father. Why. you dear, expensive old humbug, what on earth would you have amounted to if you hadn’t been a restraint of trade yourself?” FREE TRADER. 8PLINTER8. (Translated and Repeated by A. L.

SUN, AIR AND EARTH, GOD’S GIFT TO ALL By ELLA WHEELER WILCOX. Copyright, 1104, by American-Journal- Examiner. How gurely and beautifully this world moves toward higher knowledgs of truth and kindness! Never was there such promise of the hoped for millennium as now. Yes, now, while the air Is full of re ports of evil, of robbery and bribery and crime of all kinds, doss th* dawn of the greatest spiritual era of our earth seem near. Only a hundred years ago our poor Insane Invalids were Incarcerated In dungeons and subjected to most cruel treatment. Science and humanltarlanlsm have f irogressed to s wonderful degree In the aat hundred years, and now abmes a most liuniare proposition from Mr. George Sanders, of No. 1864 Pacific street, Brooklyn, as follows: After consulting with friends, doctors, nurserymen and others, I have been moved to submit to the state -board ot commissioners qn lunacy a plan for developing ten acrea or so of land belonging to each state hospital Into a fruit garden. This gardent would supply ths hospital with a large quantity and variety ot fruit* snd also prove of great value to th* many patients who could be employed In the gar den, thus giving them outdoor ex ercise which would prov* so Inter esting that It would be the means of restoring many a mind to Its normal condition. A STEP AHEAD, Ths Idea Is admirable. I hope It will meet with encouragement and asslst- ELLA WHEELER WILCOX. snes from every state tn ths union. From dark dungeons and chains, neg lect and abuse, out to heaven's sun light, with nature and medical science to assist In their restoration of the mind; surely this shows progress In our Idea of duty toward the Insane since the days of our great grandfath ers. Now let the same methods be applied when possible to the other Invalids 'of the land—the criminally Insane. For all crime Is some phase of in sanity. No man who has committed a crime will be reformed and made into a sane, moral and law-abiding citizen If he la shut In for yean between cold walls, away from all contact with nature, and given' the association of other unfortu nates for companionship. SUN, AIR AND EARTH. Sun, air, earth—they are three great mlnlsten for sick snd diseased souls and bodies. They will do more toward reform ation and restoration than the cell, sol itary confinement and the lash. More than pills and ponden and opiates. More than preachen and sermons. Heaven speed the day when all the little children cooped up In city tene ments, when weary motherland worn- out workmen will have the benefit of God's beautiful earth and the sunshine and the freeh air a portion of every a There Is room for all; the blessed trolley Knee are making transportation possible at small coat, and the time Is coming when our congested cities will, and must, empty out their fetid alleys and give the unconscious prisoners of toil better condition!. When this Is done, then will Insanity and crime be lessened and the need of asylums and'prisons reduced to a mini mum. The sun, the sir, the earthl They are God's gifts to all men. No system of government Is right or Just which takes these things from any class and compels It to exist without them. MAINLY ABOUT PEOPLE.

To the Editor of The Georgian: The state legislature has had more criticism than co-operation In th* en actment of good snd wholesome laws. It has needed the co-operation snd per haps deserves- much of the criticism that It ha* received. By Its enact ments at previous sessions counties that enjoyed prohibition had thrust upon them, without their consent, one or more dispensaries for the sale of spir ituous liquors. in ths case ot Randolph county, which was prohlbltloned, a bill was passed submitting the question of dispensary or no dispensary to th* people, snd aft er a vigorous campaign th* prohibi tionists of the county, notwithstanding the large negro vote, defeated the other side. The good people thought, thers. fore, that the question was practically finally settled. It now turns out that the representative from Randolph In troduce* a bill providing for the estab lishment of a dispensary In the city of Cuthbert, the county site. This measure was referred to the Judiciary committee and received recommenda tion for Its passage by a majority vote. It Is positively known that certain members of the Judiciary committee from the dry counties were opposed to the recommendation, and It Is under stood that they wlli file thV minority report. This measure was recommend ed by representatives from the wet counties, one ot Fulton's representa tives voting In favor of It. These are facts which can be proven beyond the queatlon of a doubt. It strikes me. therefore, that It 1* utterly unfair for the Georgia legisla ture to have the power to thrust a dis pensary, for the sale of Intoxicant "liq uors, on n county or In a town where the people, by the exercise of their franchtsement, have said they do not want It. It Is bad enough to have the question reopened, and bring about the campaign for and against prohibition In a given county, but it Is notlitng short of a burning shame, after the people have said by their votes that they do not want the dispensary for the leg islature to thrust It upon them whether or no, and It Is ell the more ao since th* recommendation for the passage ot the bill came from tbe Judiciary, a majority of whose members are from wet counties In the state, such as Ful ton, Chatham and others. It Is high time that the citisens In this free republic were entering s pro test. A. C. WARD. Secretary' Georgia Anti-Saloon League.
