A PLACE FOR RECREATION
Necessary to Health of People—
Dalten Must Look Well to Her
Interest in This Respect.
The following, which will be of
so much interest to Daltonians,
appeared in last Sunday’s Con
stitution. It is very applicable
tp us at tlii* tirpe when the ques
tion of parks is so prominent be
fore our people:
The satisfactory conclusion of
the Piedmont park negotiations,
4ue to the intelligent zeal of both
citizens and officials, demonstrates
how keenly the importance of
parks to city welfare is reqognized
fiy the public. For the presence
of ample pleasure grounds in con
venient touch for all classes of
citizenry is a factor of municipal
administration which is probably
second only to thorough sanita
tion—if it does not take an even
|tand with that prime hygienic
requisite.
While parks are maintained
equally for capitalists and laborer,
for the professions and the trades,
the cp^h-digger staff tfie banker,
there is qo doubt that they reach
their highest usefulness in miuis-
tepfng to the health pud happiness
of the predominant noddle class
pf u oity's population. The man
of wealth h«.s his horses and car
riages, his automobile and, what
is more vital yet, his leisure.
With the ooming of the sweltering
summer days he can take his wife
and children and defy the scorch
ing temperature of July and
August in the cool breezes of the
mountain and seashore resort. If
pircuojstances hold him in town,
be can close his plqce of business
eftply in tbe afternoon and, fising
bis own conveyance, either wheel
put to a restful suburban residence
or far out in the country to find
inviting shade and regenerative
oalm. There is no stoppage of
salary to worry the hours of
recreation, no possibility of loss
of employment because he obeyed
the simple mandates of nature in
recuperating his faded strength.
His happy condition and that of
the man wlfose living, q,nd that of
bis family* fiepends pn the caprice
pr favor of others, are in radical
contrast. Tbe latter, it is prob-
abl®, has exerted himself just as
actively during the long winter
months; his body and his brain
are very likely more wearied, since
has not the access to the en-
18 a perversion of the Creator’s
purpose and a cruelty to the help
less ones involved. Moreover,
the city which does not provide
for the recreation of its toiling
theusands is inviting a sickly
population, workers stripped of
enterprise and energy, listless and
incompetent to contribute to the
vital task of developing and
broadening the city’s boundaries
and its interests.
It is with a full knowledge of
these facts that, several years ago
the city council began systematic
ally to beautify Grant park; the
same salutary sentiment is the
motive power of the enthusiastic
movement to acquire Piedmont
park and make of.it a health
giving playground. In addition
to the valuable buildings which
cover a large portion of the tract,
are the spacious, heavily wooded
acres which reach out beyond the
plateau, offering their cool shades
to the rest-seeking man or woman.
Near its northeast extremity runs
a boulevard which is in an almost
direct line with Grant park, the
other tempting resort which has
already brought so much happi
ness and health to Atlanta’s busy
workers. In time this roadway
will be so improved as to make
communication between the two
parks easy without the round
about route through the city.
The parks, in conjunction, will
prove in fhe immediate and far
future one qf the city’s most
splendid hygienic assets,

HON. GORDON LEE'S SPEECH
Of
livening amusements of the more
fqrtuoate; lus wife and children,
§iruilarjy, are in ec^ual need of
Wholesome, outdoor recreation,
gut he has not the resources at
his command which are enjoyed
by his employer, The men of
this class and, in many instances,
the wives and little ones, too,
must fight out the summer in close
and stifling offices and factories
and stores, large and small. With
systems depleted by the indoor
toil of the previous season, they
fqrced tq rely for fresh air and
pqntaet with reviving nature on
fhe brief, irregular visits they can
make to nearby resorts without
ffiterfering with their daily em-
ployment,
And that such periodio changes,
such washing off of the grim# of
work and worry in the air and
sunshine and forest, which the in
finite Physician has provided for
that purpose, is absolutely neces
sary to health will not be denied.
It is true that perhaps tbe men
and women and children who cap
pqt make refreshing visits to the
seaside or mountains, might strug
gle on through the summer with
no rest, no access to wooded
parks, where the air is clean, the
water sparkling and the very soil
crinkling with new life. It is a
spectacle, though, which people
of humane minds do not care to
contemplate. It is a hum.drum
existence—the making of it into a
sheerly mechanical function,which
Acceptance at the Congressional
Convention.
We regret that lack of space
last week prevented our publish
ing the excellent speech delivered
by Hon. Gordon T ee before the
Democratic Pongressional (3on-
ventiqn in Ilqme qn tbe 17th
inst., in accepting the nomination
for Congress.
It was a plain, practical speech,
thoroughly characteristic of the
sterling farmer and business man
who has been chosen as the
standard-bearer of the Seventh
District Democracy, and who
will make an able and useful rep
resentative of the District’s varied
interests.
The speech in full is as follows:
Mr. Chairman and Gentlemen of
t|ie Conventions-^ -
The nomination which you
have tendered me today fills me
with deep and grateful satisfac
tion. To be endorsed by the
matchless men of the mountains
and valleys of this district is an
honor that cannot be prized toq
highly, anc| jt is one that stirs my
pride and deepest gratitude,
oannot today in fitting words ex
press to you, and those tyhosq
messengers you are, my thanks
for this manifestation of your
confidence.
The responsibility which I as
sume in accepting this nomination
is rendered all the more im
pressive when I remember the
distinguished Georgians, P. M. B.
Young, W. H. Felton, Judson C
Clements, R. W. Everett and
John W. Maddo^-—who have
heretofore represented this dis
trict.
To be called by an intelligent
constituency, however few in
number, to perform an important
service would be pleasing to any
appreciative citizen who had the
welfare of his country at heart.
When this call comes from
thousands and the service ex
pected involves great labor and
responsibility, the pleasure it
gives is deeply tinged with sober
thoughts of care and apprehension
If this district shall, in Novem
ber next, ratify your choice and
send me to the National House of
Representatives, I shall strive by
faithful attention to duty and by
whole-hearted service in your be
half to leave you no cause to
regret your choice. To serve you
faithfully and acceptably shall be
my sole aim and desire.
For the third time the democ
racy of this district have adopted
the primary plan of selecting their
candidate for Congress. Thie
method is so fair to all, so free
from the possibility of manipu
lation by any one, and has given
such general satisfaction when
ever and wherever tried, that the
rank and file of the party are
coming to regard it for what it
really is—an election, freed in
the largest measure from that
pest of politics—the purchasable
voter. But there is a possible
danger to which I invite for a
moment your attention.
The lrf,000 democrats who
participated in the congressional
primary should not forget that,
through over-confidence on their
part, they may be robbed of their
choice by a shrewd movement of
the enemy in November. I ap
peal to the patriotism of all who
voted in the primary, as well as
all who favor this method of se
lecting a party candidate to stand
loyally by the nomination made
on April 20th.
It is only by doing this and in
suring the eleotion of the candi
date nominated that the primary
plan can be firmly fixed in the
confidence of the people and
permanently engrafted upon our
political system. Other states
have resorted to radical alterations
in their organic laws in order to
rid their elections of voters whom
we dispose of by the simpler and
safer method of a party primary.
No court or congress can inter
pose obstacles to the successful
working qf tfiis pffin of ridding
ourselves of an objectionable class
of voters. Let us fiold to it and
validate its edicts by going to the
polls in November and electing
all the nominees, state, district
and oounty. .
Inasmuch* as your body has
acted in advance of the assembling
of the National Democratic Con
vention and the promulgatjop of
the platfoiqn upon which we are
to go before tfis pquntry -in the
fall campaign, I deem it proper
to postpone for the present any
discussion of the issues likely to
be passed upon by that con
vention.
As to matters of loqal concern
I shall, if elected, give my most
earnest and careful attention to
subjects of legislation in which
all the people are deeply inter
ested. One of tfiqse, and perhaps
the most important, for the reason
that it vitally affects a large ma
jority of the people of this dis
trict, is the further extension of
the free rural mail service. I am
in favor of the extension of this
system so as to reach every
farmer and business man in the
district., I want to see this sys
tem extended until every home is
put in close touch with the world
until every farmer can have his
mail delivered at his own door,
read his daily papers if he SQ de
sires, make Ifis home attractive
and interesting, and thereby aid
in making him contented and
happy on his farm, and lessen the
tendency of our young men and
women towards our towns and
cities. I confidently look forward
to the day when the mail carrier
will be a welcome daily ealler at
the gate of every home situated
upon a public highway.
Closely allied to the question
of rural free delivery of our mail
is that of good roads. I shall
few dollars that directly benefit
the farmers—the class which form
so large a part of the brain and
brawn of our land and make the
wealth of our country.
Our own water-waj’s—the Osta-
naula and Coosa rivers—shall be
a special object of concern to me.
The completion of the Panama
Canal will open up_ a vast trade
with the islands of the Pacific—
with Japan, China, and the mils
lions of people in the Orient. In
my opinion, the completion of
this canal will add new life to
business in the South, and vitalize
every South Atlantic and Gulf
port. The opening of this canal
will directly benefit every cotton
grqwer, every manufacturer, every
farmer and business man in this
district. The Coosa river, our
great free highway to the Gulf,
should be made navigable at the
earliest possible date. The cost
of a single great battleship would
make of this river a great, throb
bing artery of commerce, and
freight it with cargoes of grain,
coal, iron and products of the
farms, mines and factories of this
congressional district.
Whenever and wherever na
tional legislation touches the in
terests of this district, it will be
my pleasure as well as my duty
to see that these interests are not
neglected. Having spent my life
among the people of this district,
I can, without presumption, claim
a reasonable familiarity with their
needs and what is desired at the
hands of the Federal Government.
I feel that I have the requisite
energy, vigor, experience, as I
certainly have the earnest desire,
to render you effective service.
If elected to represent the people
of the Sevepth district in Con
gress, I shall endeavor to apply to
the duties of that high office the
same business energy and methods
that I have always employed in
my own affaire, and in the ad
ministration of minor public of
fices I have heretofore filled. I
promise you two years of the
most faithful service of my life,
and with your Help I pledge you
that the banner you have asked
me to carry to victory in Novem
ber shall not go down in defeat.
I shall at once resume the
active canvass of the district and
continue it until the November
election. Not so muoh because
of any lingering doubt of what
that verdict will be, as because of
my desire to meet personally and
become better acquainted with
those I am to serve,
I heartily thank each of you
foy your encouraging presence
here today, and ask that you carry
back to your neighbors and
friends my heartfelt gratitude for
this manifestation of their confi
dence and esteem.
