The Lesson of the Postal Department.
tt a private coriioratlon owned and conducted our
mall service, which la also a public commodity, every
man, woman and child who writes letters In this country
would doubtless be putting on those letters at this day
a Scent postage stamp.
Every newspaper would probably be paying double
the price It Is paying now and our present 2-cent postage
atamp would furnish Just about halt the necessary
amount to carry a letter from Atlanta to Conyers.
But, run by the government for the people and upon
the money of the people, the postal department Is one
of the finest and most perfect enterprises In the world,
carrying letters, papers and packages with phenomenal
regularity and at the lowest possible cost to the Individ
nal. In Its execution, the postal department has not de
veloped Into a great political machine which Is to per
petuate the power of the administration already hold
ing the reins, but by the rules of the government, the
clerks and employees In the postal department are for
bidden to show a personal or partisan activity in the
government, and the mall service Is not only perfect In
Its system but absolutely free from the dangers which
are so fiercely predicted by Interested parties as sure to
follow upon the establishment of public ownership of
public utilities.
And the postal department of the government at the
low price of Its service pays back In ‘its revenues more
than enough to reimburse the government for the splen
did facilities which It offers the people.
Is there any reason under the sun why the same
perfection of system and the same economy of service
should not be developed In any other commodity for .the
use of the people? Is there any reason why the city
of Atlanta owning a gas plant upon which there would
be no watered stock, should not be able to furnish gas to
Its people at the same cost of production and without
the arbitrary Increases necessary to pay dividends and
stockholders?
Is there any reason why such an enterprise should
not be conducted under the same civil service rules aa
those which are provided In our national government and
which would protect this public Institution from the evils
of a political machine?
Is there any reason why such an enterprise should
not furnish gas to the people of Atlanta at a price as low
as cities smaller than Atlanta now furnish gas and
lights to their dtlxens?
Is there any reason why a municipality which already
owns It waterworks and Is every year bringing Its system
to greater perfection both of service and economy,
should not by the same methods and under the same
conditions, own Its gas plant and bring this enterprise
to the same perfection of system and economy?
There are simply thousands and perhaps millions of
dollars to be saved to the Individual taxpayers of Atlanta
and to the municipality by simply reaching out Into the
country about us and holding up before our civic eyes
the object lesson of this same thing which has been done
and Is being done by other cities to the happiness, to the
comfort and to the Immense saving of the people who
live In those cities,
This entire proposition Is one of such simplicity and
such clear common sense that It Is almost a reflection
upon a people so Intelligent as the dtlxens of Atlanta,
to waste argument and space to demonstrate the great
Interest they each have in taking hold of It. The whole
trend of the times Is toward this policy of public owner
ship and control of public utilities, and we simply urge
upon the Intelligent people of Atlanta to bring this mat-
ter home to their Individual minds and Intelligence and
to think for themselves.
It will not do to permit this great period of public
arousement and Individual Interest In public affairs to
pass without reaping aomo of the fruits of the progressive
spirit which Is a-stlr In this and all other communltlea
and atates. The time will come when Intereet In these
matters will wane, and when other queatlona will Be
skillfully obtruded by designing corporations to cloud
these great central Issues which so deeply concern the
people’s pockets and the people’s liberty.
We only urge upon every citizen and every taxpayer
an honest, fearless and common sense consideration of
the great question which they have a chance to settle
now by a peaceful ballot rather than later by a furious
protest and stern denunciation.
If these great corporations had been fair and Jnst
and reasonable In their demands upon the public pocket,
this proteat might not have arisen, but In view of Its
magnificent effect and Its magnificent possibilities, we
can only realize and believe that providence has made
these corporations arbitrary and exacting In order that
they might be made to give place to other and greater
Institutions In which every citizen la a partner and
whose Irregularities, It they exist, can be corrected by
every freeman's ballot expressed In Intelligence and In
liberty.
any commercial and Industrial organization In the stat
within a few hours, but such Is not and should not be
the idea. It should represent the grateful appreciation
and' the far-spread affection of all the people. We feel
that there are thousands of men and women and even
children in Georgia who would be distinctly disappointed
If they were not allowed td contribute something to this
fund.
Savannah will be In all her glory when the great
battleship comes. Her magnificent harbor will be cover
ed with a flotilla of pleasure craft and thronged with
patriotic visitors from all over the state. Her very
name—the name of Savannah—Is synonymous with roy
al hospitality and it may be depended upon that she
will spread herself on that gala occasion.
Atlanta will, of course, be there In full force and will
enjoy the festival to the fullest extent.
There are comparatively but a few weeks In which
to raise the necessary popular fund for the proposed pur
pose and It la time for the morement to take on zopie
definite form. The people will do their part freely and
willingly and none of the battleships that float the
will have a more magnificent service than that of the
Georgia.
Who Is the Spokesman ?
Who la the authorized spokesman for the Re
publican administration?
Upon this question depends. In a large measure, our
knowledge of what la to be the dominant Issue in the
next presidential campaign.
A few days ago Secretary Taft made a speech up In
Maine In which he declared that the policy of the Repub
lican party would be to make some, necessary revisions
of the tariff. He seemed glad of an opportunity to fore
stall any utterances the Democrats might make on the
subject of revision by giving the country to understand
that the protected Industries had been getting something
more than their share of late years and that this nursery
of the trusts would be disciplined.
But these utterances had hardly gone forth to the
country before Secretary Bonaparte came out In a care
fully prepared Interview In which be stated that no one
In'his senses expected the next congress to do anything
toward revising the tariff. He said that the Indorsement
of President Roosevelt was the real Issue In the cam
paign and that there was no possible room for any other.
Well, maybe so, and not so.
We all have our own Ideas as to how that may be,
but In the meantime we would like to know, and the
country at large would like to know, who Is the recog
nized spokesman of the administration. There has been
a general Impression for a long time that Secretary Taft
had the ear and the confidence of the president more
than any other man In the cabinet. In hia speeches
In Ohio he was generally regarded as expressing the
views of the president himself.
Secretary Bonaparte Is a very excellent and attrac
tive man and no donbt the president thinks a whole lot
of him, but the great question which Is now disturbing
the public mind Is whether, he has supplanted Secretary
Taft In the good graces of Mr. Roosevelt to the extent
that what he may say has more of the stamp of author
ity than what the stout gentleman from Ohio may de
clare.
There Is no reason on earth why there should not
be a revision of the tariff. The cry of "plutocracy" and
trusts,” which Mr. Bonaparte regards as the "gabble
of demagogues," has become trite. It Is true, but the
cry Is as vital and calls as loudly for a remedy as ever
before, and this question will not be settled until tt Is
settled right.
Mr. Bonaparte says the question Is whether wo will
give the president a congress which will support him In
what be wants to do or one which will oppose all his
good Intentions. The fact of (be matter Is that he has
stolen so much Democratic thunder that a Democratic
congress would probably be willing to do much more
along the same line than he Intends to do himself, and
It would have the merit of coming from the party which
has championed these reforms for a hundred years.
■ Who Is the "voice?”—Bonaparte or Taft?
A Gold Service for Our Battleship.
The project for raising a fund to provide a gold ser
vice for the battleship Georgia, which will be commission
ed In Georgia waters during next month or the month
After, will meet the prompt and hearty approval and sup
port of the people of this state.
Nothing short of the gold, mined from our own red
old hills, should be good enough and patriotic enough as
a donation to the ofBrers of this magnificent fighting
machine, which was named In honor of the Empire State
of the South by the late President McKinley, and the
further proposition to have It rest upon a marble table,
the material for which shall be quarried from the
bosom of the state, Is an excellent Idea also.
Georgia Is proud of this battleship, not only because
it Is one of the most perfect fighting machines ever con
structed and an honor to the American navy, but be
cause of the sentiment which attaches to It from the fact
that the name of Georgia was chosen for tt by the mar
tyred president, of his own accord, after one of his visits
to nor state and people.
It would be an easy matter, as pointed out by the
gentlemen quoted in yesterday's Georgian, to raise the
necessary sum from one or two men of'wealth or from
The Merit System in the Water Board.
Atlanta, Ga.. September 7, 1906.
To the Editor of The Georgian:
I notice in The Georgian of yesterday the ac
count of the recent meeting of the water board, and
the failure to elect a secretary to succeed Mr. W.
H Dlmmock, deceased.
Permit me to say, aa an humbts clUxen, and a
formet employee In the water office, that 1 believe,
if the water board la to got the best work, and the
moet efficient service for the public, that tho men
who compose the working force In thnt department
ought to be encouraged by pro.motlon to better po
sitions with better salaries, whore years of constant
labor and effort lit mon for a promotion.
If good results are obtained In other depart
ments by rewarding men for honest effort, why not
In the water department? Is It possible that of the
several men who have served tho city a doten years
In thnt department, not one Is qualified to suc
ceed to a position where experience should lit him
to servo the department and the public allko with
satisfaction?
Offer the boys something to work for, and look
forward to, by adopting a policy of promotion where
the service Justifies It, and bettor results will ob
tain.
Trusting that this suggestion will not be con
sidered out of place, as I rendered several years of
service to the city In that department. I beg to re
main yours very respectfully. A. ERNEST.
Care Gate City Coffin Company.
With the personal phase In this communication, The
Oeorgtan has nothing whatever to do. We have no can-
dtdate to offer for the position to be filled, and none
other than a general civic Interest In the matter.
But In the general principle which Is advocated here,
we have long been, and are now, profoundly Interested.
There Is no sounder principle In business, public or
private, than the promotion of worthy servants from the
lower to the higher ranks of any public enterprise.
Promotion upon merit furnishes the Inspiration to
faithful service and to higher endeavor. The hope of
reward Influences more people than the fear of punish
ment, and the best results In all business ranks have
been obtained by offering to each employee the hope and
prospect of a promotion to another and higher position
Just beyond him
This principle Is the basis of Inspiration In the army
and navy of the United States. It Is the principle which
the government has crystallised into a distinct policy
In the civil service rules. It Is the policy employed by
the largest and greatest business houses of the land. It
the policy which The Georgian has advocated with
unbroken earnestness In Its application to the educa
tional Interests of the state, and the earnest and consis
tent advocacy of t|)ls paper along this line has obrne Its
part ki the recent selections of* noble teachers to the ex
ecutive responsibilities of our great educational institu
tions, the one as chancellor of the University of Georgia,
and the other as the president of the Technological
school.
We are quite confident that the contention of Mr.
Ernest will meet the approval of thoughtful men and
good dtlsens everywhere, and that without regard to
persons or to Individual rewards, the public service of
the city as of the state, can best be furthered by put
ting a premium upon the faithful servants of our public
enterprises in Just promotions aa their merits and ser
vices may permit.
Growth and Progress of the New South
Oadff f/ifa hrnrt will nppunr from time to t/m«? Information Illustrating tlj*
remarkable derelopmeut of the South which deserres something more than pa*«*
lag attention.
Northern Colonies For the South.
We are told that the fascination of city life baa a great deal to do
with the tact that Immigrants will not come South to better their con
dition. They prefer to continue In poverty In the more congested centers
rather than make the bold plunge of moving down here and engaging In
agricultural pursuits.
This fact has generally been recognised, and no. systematic effort has
besn made to overcame the difficulty, but according to an article publish
ed In The Southern Investor, of New York, edited by David Robinson,
formerly of this state, there is one man In New York city who thinks he can
solve the problem.
Mr. J. B. Flnster has been making the whole matter a study and has a
plan which with a reasonable amount of capital can be made successful and
of great bens lit to the South.
He proposes to purchase SOO acres of good farm lands and sub-divide It
Into 6-acre plots, build a cottage on each and rent for a sum equal to what
they will pay to.- a fiat In one of the crowded tenement houses In the city.
He will bring the families from the large cities and place them on the
farm; let the head qf the family work on the farm and the children work
In the cotton mills.
Where the difficulty lies, says Mr. Flnster, Is In not trying to make the
environments aa near as possible to the city life. There are many hun
dreds of families In the large cities who would be glad to try agricultural
pursuits in a small way, but are afraid to make the venture. Perhaps
they have a few hundred dollars of hard-earned money saved up, and to
make the purchase of a farm to try their hand at farming is too much of
a risk for them, but if they knew they could rent such a place, and besides
have a small weekly Income from the earnings of their children In the mills
they would be glad of the opportunity. Mr. Flnster proposes to have an
expert agriculturist teach the head of the family how to cultivate for
profit. For Instance, he will have a tew of the forms - made Into chicken
ranches, which will have up-to-date houses and all modern Improvements
for the successful raising of chickens on a scale that will pay. Also the
squab, duck and other Industries of a similar nature. Some of the settlera
will be taught specialties In truck farming. In othar words. It will be on
the order of an agricultural school, and they will be made to realize that
their Interests art the paramount Issue. Besides It will be an object lesson
for the Southern farmer, who has for many years grown one crop, say cot
ton or tobacco, Instead of diversifying his crops, growing everything be
absolutely needs and becoming in the end self-sustaining and Independent.
The fourth Sunday In September will
be devoted by the Methodist ministers
of Atlanta to an appeal In behalf of the
Decatur Orphans' Home. The cause of
the home was set before them by Major
R. J. Guinn at a meeting Monday morn
ing at the Wesley Memorial church.
He told them of the need of the home
for a new building to accommodate the
glrla comfortably and asked that the
Atlanta churches arrange to give the
proceeds of the annual “work day,”
September 29, toward the erection of
this building.
* By every Methodist pastor devoting
his fourth Sunday sermon to the cause
It Is expected that the proceeds at this
work day, when the earnings of the day
will be given for the work by every one
so Inclined, which will be taken in the
collections on the following Sunday,
will he more than enough to complete
the fund for the erection of the At
lanta cottage.
Rev. H. L. Crumley, superintendent
of the school, stated that he had cared
for over 400 Atlanta children In the
Institution. He said that the girl's
dormitories were badly crowded and
that the new building was an absolute
necessity.
“Work day” Is observed by the Meth
odist, Baptist, Presbyterian, Hebrew
and other religious organizations an
nually, the proceeds going to some
charitable work.
NOOKS AND CORNERS OF AMERICAN HISTORY
THOMAS DONGAN
By REV. THOMAS B. GREGORY.
In the whole annati of our country
there are to be found but few finer
names than that of Thomas Dongan,
James Stuart's goveraor of the prov
ince of New York from 1682 to 1688.
Coming to the governorship of Amer
ica's greatest province In the prime
of Ilfs, Dongan applied hlmaelf heart,
mind and soul to the conscientious
performance of the high duties that
fell upon him.
A statesman by Instinct, Dongan saw
at a glance the supreme Importance,
from the political point of view, of the
valley of the Hudson.
If that valley should be dominated
by the French, tha wedge would be
driven In between New England and
Maryland and Virginia, and It would
be all over with English rule In
America.
To prevent this Dongan brought his
diplomacy to bear upon the Iroquois
Indians. He knew thnt If he could
make himself solid with that powerful
tribe he could checkmate the designs
of Louis XIV and preserve the integri
ty of the English possessions.
He succeeded, and when the great
Frontenac came out to drive In the
"wedge” he found In hla path tho ter
rible red men. who had been won over
by the tact of Dongan.
No lese a man than John Flake calls
tha friendship of the Iroquois with
the English the “pivotal fact" In Amer
ican history; and for such fact no small
thanks are due to Governor Dongan.
Dongan was also the Instrument
through which was effected the bring
ing together of the first representative
assembly In the province of New York.
This ever-memorable assembly, con
sisting of the governor, the counsellors
and eighteen representatives elected by
the people, met In the city of New
York on the 17th day of October, 1881.
Such was the practical beginning
of free representative government In
the province, that historic assembly
being the head waters of the splendid
liberty that Is today enjoyed by all
New Yorkers.
In an age of Intense sectarianism
and .bitter religious prejudices Dongan
managed to keep as sweet and amiable
as could be, and when he took oft the
robe of office no one could say that the
governor had treated him unkindly
or unfairly on account of a difference
of religious opinion.
It is a pleasant page of our country's
history that tells of the administration
of Governor Thomas Dongan; and with
the whole story of the man's life It
would well repay our people to be
come thoroughly and lovingly familiar.

What the walls and ceilings of a
room arc to the effectiveness of Its
furniture, the complexion of a woman
Is to the effect of her features.
A beautiful tone of walls often makes
an otherwise commonplace room seem
attractive.
The women of Holland possess this
beautiful tone of complexion almost
universally. Irrespective of class, con
dition or age. Such astonishing splen
dor of bloom 1 have never seen else
where. The tints range from pinks to
peonies, with all the delicate shadings
of colors between.
There Is a pretty habit here of set
ting boxes of flowers along all the
tipper balconies, so that one who walks
the streets lifts his eyes to behold
rows of blossoms as far as he cun
" e ?iut Just as wonderful a eight Is
spread for his level vision In the cheeks
of the girls and the women, young and
mtddle-aged, who promenade the side
walks, ride In the trams, or drive In
carriages.
Everywhere we look there Is a rose
growing on a woman's cheek. And not
only on the woman's cheek, but on the
cheeks of boys and young men. Nor
Is It the common bloom that eon be
slightingly termed "a red face” by any
pallid visitor, masking envy under the
name of "criticism.” .
It Is a color so exquisitely applied by
nature's brush aa to look at flrst glance
artificial. The nose, the brow, the cir
cle about the mouth, the pretty de
pression In front of the ear, are all
milk-white: only the cheek, the tip of
the ear, and sometimes the tip of the
chin, glow with color. Mothers of
rosy children are rosier than their
babes, and the grandmothers are only
shade less blooming.
I have seen three generations sitting
side by side, looking like a bud, a full
blown rose and a rose whose outer
leaves were Just touched with decay.
The only place passengers on the
tram cars aro allowed to stand In Hol
land Is on the outer platform. During
the busy hours of the trolley the plat
form of every car looks like a window
box with Its flower faces of young
omen and young men banked togeth-
But with complexion their beauty oft
en begins and ends. The features of
the women are rarely beautiful. The
lips arc Inclined to thickness, and lack
curves. I have not seen one Cupid’s
bow mouth on a Holland girl's face.
The nose lacks delicacy, and the eyes
lack depth. The whole face lacks emo
tion. The whole woman lacks temper
ament. , . .
But to return to that wonderful, dax-
xllng and permanent bloom. What can
be the cause of It? That Is the ques
tion I have been asking myself day
after day, In Rotterdam, In Dordrecht.
The Hague. In Bchevenlngue, In Am
sterdam.
It Is not because these people are
all blond, for they are not. Every
shade of color of hair and eyes Is found
among them. Golden, tttlan, auburn,
"strawberry" and “carrot" blondes are
here; and there are all shadea of brown
hair, down to the coal black.
There are blue, gray, brown and
black eyes. But with every combina
tion, eight women out of every ten
flaunt the glorious rose of Holland on
their cheeks. It Is most beautiful to
see.
And It. Is a severe blow to the food
faddists, of which 1 am one.
I have always contended that com
plexion, after early youth at least, was
greatly a matter of selection of food.
So I have watched the diet of these
people, In each city mentioned, at ho
tels, restaurants and seashore resorts.
Alas! and alas! for the theorlea I
brought across the seas! They all cat
fried things, heavy with grease. They
devour sweets. They consume starchy
atuffs enough to run a laundry. They
drink ten and coffee strong enough to
float a licet. And they Indulge In beer
nnd German wines.
I saw n walking rose, wearing _
gown, sit down to n breakfast of bo
logna sausages, cjieese and strong black
tea! I would have given her three
years to sink Into attenuation and pal
lor, or fat sallowness, had not her
mother sat beside her, who hail no
doubt breakfasted on a similar food
twenty years longer, and still rivaled
any New York debutante In complex
ion
The climate is said by many people
to be the cause of this color. It is
damp and cool. But I have been In
other places where there was dampness
nnd freshness of atmosphere and never
have seen such uniformity of lasting
radiance of complexion as here In Hol
land.
So we must look deeper than mere
climate for the explanation. We will
give that Its due and pass on.
Children are popular and plenty In
Holland.
Men consider a barren wife an evil
to be avoided. So strong are their
Ideas on this subject that morality Is
often put aside, while honor Is main
tained, In making a girl a wife after
she has proven her ability to be
mother. This, of course, Is among the
poorer—the peasant—classes.
The working people produce the most
children. Here, as with us, and every
where In the world, luxury and leisure
lessen the slxe of families. But there
seems to be no race suicide here, aa in
France and America—no effort to
thwart nature.
Then again the waists of the girls
and women have net been restrained.
The natural tendency of the Dutch fig
ure is not to curves, but the square
ness. It ran not be called pretty: bit
no Inducement has been offered to force
Its compliance with fashton’a laws.
Again, the Dutch woman Is, without
question, utterly devoid of that subtle
quality known aa temperament. She
ta not emotional. I have yet to see
one evidence of coquettishness. even,
on her part. She does not use her
complexion. She simply accepts It. She
does not appreciate It because every
body has It, perhaps.
Hut if she were less phlegmatic, she
would learn early how beautiful It Is.
and this knowledge would eventually
lead to Its loss. She would live, but
her bloom would die. As It Is, her
bloom llvss on. nnd she leads a gentle
and phlegmatic existence.
And there Is still another reason why
