The people of Atlanta are delighted to know that the measure providing for cleaner and more efficient meat In spection In this city, has passed the Initial stages. Chiefly due to the unceasing labors of Councilman Walter A. Taylor this agitation has reached the point where the whole community absolutely and Imperatively demand that the meat supply of Atlanta should be not only pure, but in every way above suspicion. The gen tlemen who went out on the tour of Inspection some weeks ago found that the condition of the slaughter houses was absolutely Intolerable. We caunot put the matter more delicately with a due regard to the gastron omy of our readers, than to say that members of this committee were made absolutely 111 from their (our of In vestigation. The fllth and corruption which prevailed In the slaughter houses around Atlanta literally put to shame the very worst examples of this kind around Packing- town. . It is almost nnthlnkablo that there should have beon any reactionary tendency during this period of reform. It has been so clearly established that the conditions sur rounding our meat Inspection and slaughter houses were so crude that they did not need even the condemnation of the Impartial critic to call attention to them. But this attention has been drawn In a most emphatic manner and the peoplp now Insist that Inspection shall be thorough. Councilman Taylor and the brave coadjutors who bare linked Issues with him are determined that this measure shall become a law, and that the people of this community shall have pure food, so far as the superin tendence and supervision of tho special committee Is con cerned. It is earnestly hoped that the entire council will adopt the suggestion of the speclnl committee with a unanimity and with a fervor which will leave no shadow of doubt on the minds of any man In Atlanta that we In tend to have pure food under the most rigid Inspection. Tariff Reform Looms Large. Slowly but forcefully It Is brought home to the Ameri can people that the the one Issue which looms largo upon the borlson Is Tariff. It seems nothing short of nmuslng to haro the little dogs nnd all—“Tray, Blanche and Sweetheart”—barking at the sane and conservative Democracy which Insists that the robber tariff has wrung as much money from the people as should be allowed. At a period when we ore prospering boyond the dreams of avarice—when tho looms and the spindles are uniting In a song of prosperity and rejoicing—there should be no place tor the dlason tlent element. Even Now England Is coming to realise that this cry of "protection" Is a farce and a fraud. Take tho ar mor plate, for Instance.. ' The state of Pennsylvania Is not likely to be helpful In tho revisionist cause, except by affording Illustra tions of the conditions that have to be dealt with. Penn sylvania Is steel-bound In high protection. From the Carnegie works In Plttaburg to the Midvale works in Phlladelpha stretches the armor plate belt of high pro tectionism, behind which the,metal and coal and other Industries shelter themselves and extort tribute from the country at large. In a single transaction Involving anywhere from two and one-half to more than two and three-quarter millions of dollars, the manufacturers cau afford to cut the price over a quarter of a million, and still assure themselves of large profits, because the tar iff as it stands enables them to play with these largo figures. A difference of $122 per ton In a single year gives the cheerful taxpayer an Idea of what the tariff hns been doing for him In a single line. The stand-patters will say that this very reduction proves the beneficence of the tariff, that the latter hat aroused competition, which has In turn brought down the price. The taxpayer, on the other hand, should ask how much he hns been mulcted In extraordinary profits during recent years. It Is not so long ago that a credulous country was told that armor plate could not possibly be supplied for less than |600 per ton and that the makers would prefer to aban don that branch of tholr enterprise rather than reduce their bids. Yet they hnve found It expedient to continue tho business In tho face of Increased cost tor labor and material. And their processes remain as (hey were. It may be aald'that the armor plate business Is an exceptional case; that the American makers of this prod- net have but one customer, and that this customer does not place orders every day. But that presentation of the case does not help matters much. It Is true that there Is but one customer for armor plato In this country. Is that a good reason why the customer should be bled? It Is true that orders are not placed every day, but, on the Other band, a single order may. as this one for the armor of the Mlchigau and South Carolina would, keep a mill busy for a year. The deliveries In this case are to be 604 tons per month. At the rate we build our navy not even the "Infant” steel Industry has cause to complain of lack of government sustenance. But the armor plate In dustry Is only one of mgny Into which the diligent voter can probe for Instruction on the effects of a high tariff. And now that a congressional election Is coming on, the voter might utilise a few leisure hours In an attempt to satisfy himself as to the benefits which he derives from the rate of taxation which Is said to be maintained for his peculiar pleasure. Between the Increased cost of living, which the average man finds a cause for constant criticism, and the application of the doctrine that a nation may be enriched by taxation, there is a direct relation which can be found If sought for. It Is true that there are tew manufacturers who can reduce the price of their product by 197 per ton. or even 1-16, and continue to flour ish: but there Is -proportion In all these matters, and the high tariff keeps the scale. It Is futile to get out of tem per with the trusts and at the same time maintain the mother of trusts—the tariff. The country, from end to end, has agitated Itself over tho "Iniquities” of the trusts and the control of the necessities of life. But when the voter created the tariff he created the means whereby trusts flourish: he presented to the organisations which he now reviles the Instrument which extracts the dollars bom his pocket. The Time for Action Has Come, An able article In yesterday's Georgian from the of Judge Oeorge Hlllyer attracted • the widespread earnest attention which utterances from this distinguish ed cltlsen always enlist. He pointed out in forceful convincing terms that the tendency of the law In recent times has been to protect the criminal and to hind hand and foot both Judge and Jury. He says that In the adoption of legislation which will Insure the speedy trial and execution of criminals lies the best solution of the difficulties which surround Us In this critical period of ngtlntlon. He sees no reason why day or an hour of delay should be conceded to the culprit who has not granted even oue moment to his helpless victim. This Is along the line which the people of this com munity must consider seriously end soberly within the next few days. Agitation In favor of the establishment some definite plan to end this "Reign of Terror," has reached fever heat and the people are determined that the present uprising shall not evaporate In a mere "flash In the pan" or In mock heroics signifying nothing. They are grimly determined as they have never been before that out of this chaos of Impassioned protest and multitu dinous suggestions there must come some clear nnd defi nite plan oti which every one can unite—some plan which will absolutely prevent the continuance ot the pres ent demoralisation and at the same time maintain the dignity of the law and the prestige of social order. We are Informed that at an early date a mass meet ing oY the representative cltlxena of this county will be held to devise the best plan of meeting the existing evils. This purpose cannot be given too cordial commendation and support Tho best people of Atlanta and of Fulton county should meet together for a free exchange of views and opinions and with an earnest desire to evolve some adequate plan for solving the grave problem which aur- rounds us In this crisis. It Is to be borne In mind that the present protests will lose much ot their force and effectiveness If the dominant note la an appeal to tho Irresponsible mob. Radical measures let them be. Desperate dleeases re quire desperate remedies. But over all and above all the men who meet together In this deliberative assembly must be distinctly of tho representative class of our peo ple, and their words of soberness should prevail during those hours of deliberation. We do not believe that the reestablishment of tho Ku-Klux Klan as outlined and advocated In certain quar ters la best adapted to the situation. The probabilities are all too groat that In title great recrudescence of a system found necessary In the days of reconstruction will drift more or less completely Into the hands ot the Irre sponsible, and that tho highest type of representative elt- liens will not lend It their nld and prestige. It Is in deed a grave matter when we announce to the world that wo have deflod all (he machinery of social order and trampled under foot the forms ot law—that we have appealed to tho vengeance of the mob though that mob be enlisted In a secret organization with signs and pass words such as was once known as the Ku-Klux Klan. But, with this word of timely admonition against the pre cipitate adoption of such revolutionary methods, we re assert the necessity and the urgent necessity of prompt and vigorous measures to suppress the multiplying out rages committed In this country nnd throughout the South ern states. With all tho earnestness ot our nature we ap peal to the best citizens of this community, to the mer chants, the bankers, the professional men, to clear-head ed and zubitantlal men In every walk of life, to attend tho proposed mass meeting whenever and wherever It shall be held and to lend to whatever plan may be adopted their prestige and the force of their highest per sonality In working out the salvation of the South. The time for Baying merely that something ought to be done Is past and the time has come for absolute and emphatic action. The Fonetic- Spelling An avalanche of critlctim has swept down on the de voted heads of Andrew Carnegie. Brander Mathews and one Theodore Roosevelt, all of whom have conspired to slaughter tho English language. The president's Ipse dixit has brought out so many protests that It must have put a crimp In his own self- importance to realize that he could spell thru with a "u" If he choee "tu," but It would make very little difference to the rest of the world, or oven the rest of the depart ments outside of tho executive. Futmtnatlons from an executive head cannot chango the usages of a third of a mlllonlum. The English lan guage has evolved from that crude agglomeration known as Anglo-Saxon, Norman French and straight-out latlnlsm, brought In by the schoolmen after the dark ages. It has been a logical process of development, nnd It cannot bo eradicated In n day, even by the contblnod wisdom and wealth of Carnegie and Brnnder Mathews. Those who have given this matter passing Interest may he pleased to read the rules so far furnished for tlje uso of the reformed speller: 1. When offered a choice between ao and o, choose e. Example: Anesthetic, esthetic, medieval. 2. If the choice lies between c and no o In words like abridgment, lodgment, acknowledgment, always omit the e. I. Use t In place of ed for tho past, or past participle of verbs ending In s, sh or p. Examples: Dipt, drlpt, prest, dlstrest, husht. wnsht. An astonishing array of high literary authorities from Spencer to laiwell Is cited In support of this latter simplification. 4. 8ttck to ense In preference to enco when you have choice. Example: Defense, offense, pretense. 6. Don't double the t 111 coquet, epnulet, ctlquet, ome let. 6. When you can replace gh with f, do It. Example Draft. 7. Better still, get rid of gh altogether. For plough, write plow. For through, write thru. 5. Write the Greek suffix -Ise, or -tie with the z by preference. Example: Catechlxe. criticize. 9. Where any authority allows It omit the e on words spelled with -lte. Example; Preterit. 10. Use a single 1 In words like, distil, Instil, fulfil. II. And omit one I from words now written like ful ness. Example: Dulness. 12. In words sometimes spelled with one and some times with a double m, choose the short form. Example; Gram. program. IS. In words spelled with oe, or e, choose e. Exam ple: esophagus. 14. Always omit the u from words sometimes spelled with -our. Example: labor, rumor. 15. Where you can get any authority use f In place of ph. Example; Sulfur, fantasm. 1G. In words spelled with a double, use a single r. As, bt|r, pur. 17. Spell theatre, centre, etc.. In the English way— center, theater, niter, mtter. 18. If a word Is spelled with s or s In root use the x; as. apprise, surprize. 19. From words spelled with sc- or s- omit the c. Ex ample: Simitar, slthe. 20. Omit the silent terminal -ue when allowed. Exam ple: Catalog, decalog, demagog, pedagog. Such are the rules adopted by the new phonetic board.

Much has been written of Dr. El mer Gates’ experiment with a dying rat, placed In front ot a sensitised screen. According to reports (made by Dr. Ward before an audience In Lon don), Professor Gates found that so long as the ruL was alive it threw a shadow. When it was killed It became suddenly transparent. “Here,” said the lecturer, "there was a strange phenomenon. At the very In stant the rat became transparent a shadow of exactly tne same shape was noticed to pruni, us It were, out of nnd beyond tho glass tube and vanish as It passed upward on the sensitised screen." Science Is creeping along, slowly but surely, In the wake of tho psychics, und will eventually corroborate all that the anclviit st-ors umi mo modern the- osophlsts have declared. On page 1(4 cf "The Groat Psycho logical crime" <a book published by the Indo-American Book Co., of Chi cago, In 1902) occurs the following statement, which Is interestingly sim ilar to Dr. Gates' assertion! "At tho iierlod of dissolution of an animal it Is clear (to one who la able to ubserve the transition) that the spir itual body carries with It the animat ing principle of the animal entity. In due course of time, however, the ani mal disappears from the animal spir itual plune.” Life After Death. The author of the book proceeds to atato that the human being who has developed tils hatter nature to any ex tent while upon earth "also disappears from-- his first plane to reappear upon a higher one;" so that while both the man and tho animal possess a spiritual hotly, the higher being progresses more rapidly to greater opportunities after the body Is enst off. Should science prove the fact (as it will) of the existence of all life after death, the above statement must be very gratifying to those anxious souls who are distressed at the mere sug gestion that any other order of crea tion save man can enjoy the privilege of Immortality. "What,” said one, a man, to me re cently, “do you mean to say that I will have to associate with dogs, cats and horsea In heaven 7” "You associate with them here," I replied, "and you do not seem to feel degraded by living upon the same earth with them. "Why may they not enjoy the next plane as well, and receive the benefits of an Improved condition, the same as yourself? You would still be their su perior, If that Is the question which troubles you." In the older religions of the world the sacredness of all life and Its oneness with the Creative Principle are recog nized; but in the orthodox creeds which have taken the place of that simple and beautiful religion taught by Christ man's Inordinate egotism has put ani mals on the plane with machines; and It has made future existence a Hu man Trust. In which the lower crea tures can have no share. J. Howard Moore, In hie "The Uni versal Kinship,” says: “The doctrine of universal kinship Is ns old as human philosophy. It was taught by that: divine soul Buddha, by Pythagoras and by Plutarch, who In the breadth and Intensity of h|s moral I GOSSIP 'fYa/rwlriV1L. , ELLA WHEELER WILCOX. nature was In advance of all save an exceptional few of those living today, two thousand years after him. •'And now the central truth of the Darwinian philosophy is the unity of life. And during the next century this truth la going tu receive unprecedented recognition In all departments of hu man thought." Rider Haggard something less than two years ago stated that he wns posi tive that he saw the spiritual body of hlu dog at the exact moment when (ns It transpired tho following day) the dog was dying. A Needed Belief. God would never have made so much Intelligence, so much affection, so much loyalty and gratitude ns exist In ani mals unless He Intended these quali ties to'continue. The world needs this belief In the future lffe of animals to vitnllze and nqlmnte Its religion Into practical expressions of the Golden Rule. Sinn Is an animal. A higher animal, to be sure, tho highest yet evolved, but still nn animal. All other lesser forms of life arc his kin. All life Is from the Eternal Source, ml will go on and on, through various planes of existence., Just In proportion to the development of the love nature, the power of un- selflsh devotion, the Intelligent use of life's privileges, will the opportunities of the next stage of life be given w«. There Is nothing shocking to ray sense of dignity In the thought that mnny loved animals on earth may be found grazing In spiritual pastures through which my soul will pass, after Its release from the body, and that from trees of living green I shall hear the songs of birds, which have gone before me. So strong Is my belief In this that I strive to treat dumb creatures In such a way that no accusing eyes of my dumb kin may be turned upon my spir it In that hour, and that when I meet the Great Master He may say approv ingly, not reproachfully,' “As ye did unto the least of my little ones, ye did It unto Me.” HOUSEHOLD HINTS By WEX JONES.

Aug. 29.—The interesting news cornea from London that when King Edward sends in his batch of dignities the long cherished ambition of William Waldorf Astor for a title will be gratified, and he Vlll be sir William Waldorf Aetor-Efrt. The reason for conferring the title will be. It Is said, the gallant ac tion,of hla son,, John Jacob, lieutenant In the Life Guards, In saving one of his trooper* from drowning. Mr. As tor hue hoped for something better than the red band, but will gratefully accept the honor at the hands of his "most gracious sovereign," In hope of a coronet to come later, as the re sult of the Judicious expenditure of hit Now York rent money., That Mrs. William Thaw has left Pittsburg for good and all seems well assured. Whether she Will live In New York or not depends upon the trial of her son, Harry iC. Thaw, for the killing of Slandfot'il White. If he Is found guilty, she will g 0 abroad and make her home with her daughter, the countess of Yarmouth. Should Harry be declared insane and sent to Mattewean, she will stay here. Her home will be In New York In any event until the fate of her son Is de cided. The announcement from Pitts burg that all the Thaw real estate In that city Is to bo sold Is confirma tion of Mrs. Thaw’a determination to leave Pittsburg. Two Yale and Harvard gridiron he roes today plunged Into Connecticut politics. They were Everett Lake, the former Harvurd half back, and Frank Butterworth, Yale's moBt famous full back, son of B. K.
