Ga.. nndar act of ctrarrtis of Vires A JJTf. One. Year $4.60 | Six Monthi 2.50 Three Months.... 1.25 By Carrier, per week 10c 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. Home, Recently.

I - - !■ 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 a j uiiiBifi im nuu uy a iuibi v-n, nuu isi the breadth and Intensity of his moral !

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.
