MEN The Man Who Has no Trade Is the Worst Blot on Society. That a white man who has no tradu and no profession is commer cially or less value than a negro in the Southern states—that a white .man who has no t rade or profession is no good at all in the Southern states from an economic standpoint, is the hard conclusion which the secretary of the Atlanta Associated Charities, L. C. Logan, has been forced to reach after long obseA’u- iion. Mr. Logan says that alnus any negro can make a living with his mucles, but there is no demand for unskilled white labor in the South and that even when a white man •wants work of the roughest manual kind, he cannot get it. Factional Journalism. During recent years, dating back we may say,to the memorable guber natorial campaign of 1906, the spirit of partisanship in state politics has been permitted to get such a hold upon some of the newspapers of the state as to almost destroy their in fluence in politics, if indeed it has not seriously impaired there useful ness in the broad field of Journalism . The extent to which these partisan- papers indulge, whenever chance opportunity offers, the prejudices that have been engendered in bitter ness of political strife, is really de plorable. There are some newspapers in Geor gia that are so partisan as between Hoke Smith and Joe Brown and their xespectiv political followings that they can't even publish a straight news story with which either is re motely connected without putteng prejudical headlines over it.
