Mr. Jackson said also that he cannot

and will be rushed to completion.

Increased rapidly during the past few

The special committee appointed for
the purposes above Indicated, begs to
report to the Central Juvenile Protect
ory Association and other friends of
the cause, thut It has carefully exam
ined the books of the committee, and
find them Intelligently and properly
Kept. The work outlined hn* been con
scientiously and faithfully pushed,
through the special Instrumentality of
Mr. Crawford Juckson, the chairman of
the committee, and hi* employed as
sistants, and the work lias been done
at u minimum cost; thut Is to say,
with coinmenduble economy. We llnd
that tho work hits been pressed In ev
ery quarter of the Mouth, and thut a
very considerable Interest in the move
ment Im* been aroused throughout ull
sections; that at a great many points
the movement looking to the estab
lishment of Juvenile courts hu* arous
ed special interest, and voluntary juve
nile courts have been established.
We believe that thq entire country Is
being educated in the direction of the
establishment of Juvenile court* and
protectories and thut the work of the
committee, through Its official chair
man. Is largely responsible for the
growing Interest in these movements.
We heartily Indorse the work of the

TO FORCE RECOGNITION
OF NEW RAILROAD.
Drops Dead Walking Street.
8 per ini to The Georgian.
Columbus, Ga., Dec. 8.—The fifth
of this city In the past few week*
occurred yesterday when Gus Golden,
an old negro man, dropped dead on
Mlxth street about noon.
McRae, Dec. 8.—Tho short line of
railroad that was built some time ago
from the Southern railway at McRae
to the Seaboard Air Line has been re
organised. and’ the new management
has put It into operation.
The difficulty rhat has been In the
way for some time la getting connection
with these two great Mouthcrn systems,
but that now Is assured. Two loaded
car* have been pushed over the road
and tendered to the Southern railway,
and unless they permit the connection
with their track, It Is stated litigation
will be instituted under the recent
Interstate commerce acta.
Who holds the most Important posi
tion In tho city government?
Who Is looked upon as the head, of
the city government? On wbotn lies
the most responsibility and 1 to whom
goes the most blame If anythin* is
amis* during lit* term of office? *
Everybody knows what the proper
answer Is. Tho mayor, of course. Hla
Is the position of nio*t honor, of most
Importance, and of most responsibil
ity. And this Is why the question Is
asked:
“Why should he not get the most
pay?’
As a matter of fact, there are ten
officials who receive us much pay for
their services, under the present salary
system, an the mayor. At the meeting
of council Thursday, called especially
to consider the propoaed raises in *al-
ary, one of the strongest arguments ad
vanced for this raise, wu* to make the
heads of departments of equal Im
portance get equal pay. but no move
nas mod** to have the head of the
whole administration get more than
the head «»f a single department.
Leas Than Fir# Chief.
The mayor gets $3,000. Tho chief
of the lire department for the last ten
has been getting $4,000, free
house rent, and other concession*. This
has been remarked not because this was
too much for the chief, but because It
is thought the former amount wus too
little for the mayor.
The city attorney gets $3,000, the
same as the mayor. The city comp
troller gets the same. The city clerk
gets tho same. The tax collector gets
the ‘name. The superintendent of wa
terworks gets tho same. Likewise, the
city engineer and the chief of police,
commlSHloner of public work* and the
recorder.
It la pointed out that “Cap" Joyner
resigned a position, with tho pay of
$4,000 a year, to accept the highest
position In the city government, that
of mayor, and that ho will get $1,000
less pay.
Mayor Woodward, having twice been
mayor, wa* asked for ft statement In
regard to the apparent inconsistency
In the pay of the chief executive of
the city government, as compared with
the head* of subordinate departments.
“Looks Inconsistent.”
*T can have no personal Interest In
this now/ said tho mayor, “as my ad
ministration closes In Just a few w'ceks,
and any change In the salary of the
mayor can’t possibly uffect me nny
more than it docs any other citizen of
Atlanta.
“It does seem Inconsistent to me,
though, to give all these men as much
us the mayor. Not that they don’t
deserve what they get, but If they do,
then the mayor deserve* more. Why,
Macon, not half the. size of Atlanta,
nor half *o rich, puya her mayor as
much as Atlanta.
"I say the mayor ought to be the
highest paid official of the city, and
any reasonable man will bear me out,
1 think. I am down on record a* hav
ing advocated this, so no surprise* are
due.
“The ma5*or of Atlanta ought to get
$5,000 a year, and he ought to be re-
