Let Council Act.
The people of Atlanta are delighted to know that the
measure providing for cleaner and more efficient meat In'
apectlon In this city, hna 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 cannot 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 tour of In
vestigation.
The filth and corruption which prevailed In the
slaughter houses around Atlanta literally put to shame
the very worst examples of thlB kind around Packing-
town, ,
It Is almost unthinkable that there should have been
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 people now Insist that Inspection shall be thorough.
Councilman Taylor and the brave coadjutors who
have 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 the special committee Is con
cerned.
It Is earnestly hoped that the entire council will
adopt the suggestion of the special 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 Amerl
can people that the the one Issue which looms largo upon
the horison is Tariff.
It seems nothing short of amusing to have the little
dogs and all—"Tray, Blanche and Sweetheart"—bnrklng
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
""•"are prospering beyond the dreams of avarice—when the
looms and the spindles are uniting In a song of prosperity
and rejoicing—there should be no place for the dlssen
tlent element.
Even New England is coming to realize that this
cry of "protection" Is a farce and a fraud. Take the ar
mor plate, for Instance.
■ The state of Pennsylvania is not likely to be helpful
in the revisionist cause, except by affording Illustra
tions of the conditions that have to be dealt with. Penn
sylvanla is steel-bound In high protection. From the
Carnegie works In Pittsburg to the Midvale works In
Phlladelpha stretches the armor plate belt of high pro
tectionism, behind which the ipetal and coal and other
Industries shelter thomselves und extort tribute frbrn
the country at largo. In a single transaction Involving
anywhere from two nnd ono-half to more than two and
three-quarter millions of dollars, the manufacturers can
afford to cut the price over a quarter of a million, and
atlll assure themselves of large profits, because the tar
iff as It stands cnablos them to play with these large
figures. A difference of f 122 per ton In a single year
gives the cheerful taxpayer an Idea of what the tariff has
been doing for him In a single line. The stand-patters
will srfy that this very reduction proves tho beneficence
of the tariff, that the latter has aroused competition
which has In turn brought down the price. The taxpnyer,
on the other hand, should ask how much be has 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
1600 per ton and that the makers would prefer to aban
don that branch of their enterprise rnther than reduce
their bids. Yet they have found It expedient to continue
the business In the face of Increased coat for labor and
material. And their processes remain as they were.
It may be said that the armor plate business la an
exceptional case; that the American makerB 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 la
but one customer for armor plate 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 hand, a single'order may. as this one for the armor
of the Michigan and South Carolina would, keep a mill
busy for a year. The deliveries in this case are to be
600 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 many 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, tho
voter might utilize 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 flud3 a cause for constant
criticism, and the application of the doctrine thnt a nation
may be enriched by taxation, there Is n direct relation
which can be found If sought for. It Is true that there
are few manufacturers who can reduce the price of their
product by J97 per ton, or even $36. 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 the "Iniquities" of the trusts
and the control of the necessities of llfo. But when tho
voter created the tariff he created tho means whereby
trusts flourish; he presented to the organisations which
he now reviles the instrument which extracts the dollars i
from his pocket.
The Time for Action Has Come,
An able article In yesterday's Georgian from the pen
of Judge George Hlllyer attracted the widespread and
earnest attention wbffch utterances from this distinguish
ed citizen always enlist. He pointed out In forceful and
convincing terms that the tendency of the law In recent
times has been to protect the criminal and to bind 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 ths
best solution of Ihe difficulties which surround ns in this
critical period of agitation. He sees no reason why a
day or an hour of delay should be oonceded.to the culprit
who has not granted even one moment to his helpless
victim.
This Is along the line which the people of this com
munity must consider seriously and soberly within the
next few days. Agitation In favor of the establishment of
some definite plan to end this “Reign of Terror,” has
roached 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
nre 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 and defi
nite plan on which every one can unite—some plan
which will absolutely prevent the continuance of the pres
ent demoralization 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 of the representative citizens of this county wilt be
held to devise the best plan of meeting tho existing evils.
This purpose cannot be given too cordial commendation
and support. The 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 gr^ve problem which sur
rounds us In this crisis.
It Is to be borne In mind that the present protests
will lose much of their force and effectiveness If tho
dominant note Is an appeal to the Irresponsible mob.
Radical measures let them be. Desperate diseases re
quire desperate remedies. But over all and above all the
men who meet together In this deliberative assembly
must he 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 re-establlshmont of the
Ku-Klux Klan as outlined and advocated In certain quar
ters Is best adapted to the situation. The probabilities
are all too great that In this great recrudescence of a
system found necessary in the days of reconstruction will
drift more or less completely Into the hands of the Irre
sponsible, and that tho highest type of representative cit
izens will not lend it their aid and prestige. It Is In
deed a grave matter when, we announce to the world
that wo havo dolled all tho machinery of social order
nnd trampled under foot the forms of law—that we have
appealed to the vengeance of the mob though that mob
be enlisted In a rccrct organization with signs and pass
words such as was once known ns 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 tho South
ern states. With all the earnestness of our nnture we ap
peal tfi the best citizens of this community, to the mer
chants, the bankers, the professional men, to clear-head
ed and substantial men In every wnlk of life, to attend
tho proposed rpass meeting whenever and wherever It
shall be held and to lend to whntever plan may bo
adopted their prestige and tho force of tholr highest per
sonality In working out the salvation of the South.
The time for saying merely that something ought to
be done Is past and tho time has come for absolute and
emphatic action.
DINKELSPIEL
ON STREET CARS
By GEORGE V. HOBART.
GEORGE V. HOBART.
The Fonetic Spelling
An avalanche of criticism has swept down on the de
voted heads of Andrew Carneglo, Brander Mathews and
one Theodore Roosevelt, all of whom have conspired to
slaughter tho English language. >
The president’s Ipse dixit hns brought out so many
protests that It must have put n crimp In his own self-
Importanco to realize that ho could spell thru with a "u"
If he chose "tu,” but It would make very little difference
to the rest of tho world, or even the rest of tho depart
ments outside of the executive.
Fulmlnatlons from an exccuttvo head cannot change
the usages of a third of a mlllcnluip. The English lan
guage has evolved from that 'crude agglomeration known
ns Anglo-Saxon, Norman French and straight-out tatlnlsm,
brought In by the Bchoolmen after tho dark ngeB. It hns
been n logical process of development, nnd It cannot be
eradicated In n day, oven by the combined wisdom and
wealth of Carnegie and Brander Mathews.
Those who have given this matter passing interest
may be pleased to rend the rulos so fnr furnished for tljo
use of the reformed speller:
1. When offered a choice between ae and e, choose
Example: Anesthetic, esthetic, medieval.
2. If the choice lies between c nnd no e In words
like abridgment, lodgment, acknowledgment, always omit
the e. #
3. Use t In place of ed for the past, or past participle
of verbs ending In s, sh or p. Examples: Dipt, drlpt,
prest, dtstrest, husht, wnsht. An astonishing array of
high literary authorities from Spencer to Irnwell Is cited
In support of this latter simplification.
4. 8tlck to ense In preference to ence when you havo
choice. Exnmple: Defense, offense, pretense.
6. Don't doublo the t In coquet, epaulet, ellquet, ome
let.
6. When you can replace gh with f, do it. Example:
Draft.
7. Better still, get rid oi gh altogether. For plough,
write plow. For through, write thru.
5. Write the Greek suffix -Ise, or -lze with the z by
preference. Example: Catechize, criticize.
9. Where any authority allows It omit the e on w-ords
spelled with -tto. Example; Proterit.
10. Use a single I In words like, distil. Instil, fulfil.
11. 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 ni, choose the short form. Example:
Gram, program.
13. In words spelled with oe, or e, choose e. Exam
ple: esophagus.
14. Always omit the it from words sometimes s|telled
with -ottr. Example: labor, rumor.
16. Whore you can got any authority use f In place
of ph. Example; Sulfur, fantnam.
16. In words spelled with a double, use a single r.
As, bur, pur.
17. Spell theatre, centre, etc., in the English way—
center, theater, niter, miter.
18. If a word Is spelled with s or s In root use the
as, apprize, surprize.
19. From words spelled with sc- or s- omit the c. Ex-
umplo: 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. Those who wish to learn them may do so.

She Discusses Some Recent Experiments and Their
Bearing On the Belief That Animals, as Well as
Men Pass Into the Spirit World After Death.
(Copyright, 1S06, by Ameriean-Jour*
nal-Examlner.)
Much has been written of Dr. El
mer Gates' experiment with a dying
rat; placed In front of a sensitized
screen. According to reports (mode by
Dr. Ward before an audience In Lon
don), Professor Oates found that so
long as the rat 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 b«auie transparent, a
shadow of exactly the same shape vaa
noticed to pa.s, us it were, out of nnd
beyond the glass tube and vanish as It
passed upward on the sensitized
screen."
Science Is creeping along, slowly but
surely, In the v.ake of the psychics,
and w ill eventually corroborate alp that
the ancle tu seers uilu tuc modern the
oaophlats have declared.
On page 144 of "The Great Psycho
logical Crime” (a book published by
the Indo-Ameriean Book Co., of Chi
cago, In 1900 occurs the following
statement, which is Interestingly sim
ilar to Dr. Gates' assertion:
"At the period -of dissolution of an
animal It is cieur (to one who la able
to observe tho transition) that the spir
Itual body rarrles 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 plane.”
Life After Death.
The author of the book proceeds to
state that the human being who has
developed ills bettor 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
body, the higher being progresses more
rarldly to greater opportunities after
the body Is cast off.
Should science prove the fact (as It
will) of the existence of all life after
death, the above statement must be
hose anxious souls
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?"
“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 atlll be their su
perior, if that la 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 creed* 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 his "The Uni
versal Kinship," says:
"The doctrine of universal kinship Is
ns old aa human philosophy. It was
taught by that divine soul Buddha, by
Pythagoras and by Plutarch, who In

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 Is going to receive unprecedented
recognition In all departments of hu
man thought."
Rider Haggard something less than
two years ago stated that he lvas posi
tive that he saw the spiritual body of
his dog at tho exact moment whrn (as
It transpired the following day) the.
dog was dying.
A Nteded Belief.
God would never have made so much
Intelligence, so much affection, so much
loyalty and gratitude ns exist In unl-
mals unless He Intended these quail
ties to continue. The world needs this
belief In the future life of animals to
vltnllze and animate Its religion into
practical expressions of the Golden
Rule.
Man Is an nnlmal. A higher animat,
to be sure, the highest yet evolved, but
still nn nnlmal. All other lesser forms
of life nre his kin.
All life Is from the Eternal Source,
and will go on and on, through various
planes of existence.
Just In proportion to the development
of the love nature, the power of un
selfish devotion, the Intelligent use of
life's privileges, will the opportunities
of the next stage of life be given us.
There Is nothing shocking to my
sense of dignity In the thought that
many 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 I* 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."

New York, Aug. 29.—The Intere.tliig
news comes from London that when
King Edward sends In hts batch of
dignities the long cherished ambition
of William Waldorf Astor for a title
will be gratified, and he will be sir
William Waldorf Astor-Ef.rt.
The reason for conferring the
title will be, it Is said, the gallant ac
tion of hls son, John Jacob, lieutenant
In the Life Guards, In saving one of
Ills troopers from drowning. Mr. As
tor has hoped for something better
than the red band, but will gratefully
accept the honor at the hands of hls
"most gracious sovereign,” In hope of
. coronet to come later, as the re
sult of the Judicious expenditure of hls
New 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 depend* upon the trial of
her son, Harry K. Thaw, for the killing
of Standford White.
If he Is found guilty, she will go
abroad and make her home with her
daughter, the countess of Yarmouth.
Should Harry be declared Insane and
sent to Mattewean, sfie will stay here.
Her home will be In New York In any
event until the fats of her son is de
ckled. The announcement from Pitts
burg that all the Thaw real estate
in that city is to be sold Is confirma
tion of Mrs. Thaw’s determination to
leave Pittsburg.
Two Yule and Harvard gridiron he
roes today plunged Into Connecticut
politics. They were Everett Lake, the
former Harvard half back, and Frank
Butterworth, Yale's most famous full-
back, son of |l. p. 3utterworth, former
congressman of Ohio. Lake was named
candidate for lieutenant governor by
the Republican state machine and hls
formal nomination at the state conven
tion Is regurded as certain. Butter-
worth was announced as Republican
candidate for state senator from New
Haven.
The tiny mustache Is In again. The
smooth-faced man has had hls day and
the chap with the drooping mustache
must chop the droop off and curl up
the ends If he wants to be considered
smart. Robert Walton Goelet has a
model mustache for the fall and win
ter of 1906, as also have Dr. Leonard
Stuart nnd Alfred O. Vanderbilt, I.
Towsend Durden, Paul Andrews,
George W. Brooke, Jr„ Marlon Wright,
Larry Waterbury, Charles B. Hlllhouse,
Reggie C. Mocllchs, Elisha Dyer, Jr.,

Sidney Smith.
They may be said to be promoters
of the new movement, and leaders In
the new style.
Within a year New York may have

Such Is the plan officials of the

of having the first school of the kind In

"The Idea Is not as new as Cleve
