TOT ZJLSOE HOVXMZNT AGAINST TOT WHIT* PLAQUE.
la The Georgian of Thursday we printed an oatanxlva article from
Dr. Vlaanka. the bouse surgeon, describing the status, tha needs and the
possibilities of the Home for Incurables.
On the same page wa printed an editorial cordially Indorsing Urn
communication of Dr. Visanaka andeuloglslng tbe merits and motives of
this Institution.
The substance of thin editorial, It give* us pi assure to repeat with ad
ditional emphasla today.
There Is no Institution in Atlanta which touches more nearly tbe hu
man heart than this Homs for Incurables. Patient* who will not be re
ceived In any other hospital or house of charity will And a refuge and
a last chance for recovery her*. Tbe generosity of Mr. A. 0. Rhodes In
praaantlng the ground, and the heroic earnestness and consecrated effort
of the Atlanta ladles who have taken this great charity In charge, cannot
be too highly or too gratefully companded by an apprsctatlve people.
It le simply a matter of reason and of philanthropy that au Inatltik
tlon so nob!; - begun should be nobly sustained by a people among srbom
It lx placed. There Is not a benevolent cans* te which the city and tha
county can more properly and safely contribute than this. There Is no
Institution of charity which more richly deserves tbe liberal contribution
of cltlseoe of a kindly mind.
And we trust that In the effort now being made to enlarge the facul
ties of this noble Institution, that the hearts and the pockets of this peo
ple may be opened In large and ample measure to Ita necessities and to
Its opportunities.
Let It bs understood again that there is nothing In the great move
ment now forming to flgfat the White Plague that Interferes in the least
degree with tbe prosperity and growth of tbe Home for Incurables. In
ibe meeting held on Thursday afternoon Mr. J. K. Maddox as a practical
business man suggested Incidentally as on* of the many things which
might grow out of this movement the eetebnshment of another hospital
further removed from the residence portion of. the city and conducted as
a buslneea enterprise upon a paying basis which might Incidentally per
mit a large collateral charity among Its patients. Mr. Maddox’s' remarks
were sensible, practical and timely as his remarks always are. but they
were addressed to business men In an Incidental way and were not tbe
object of the meeting which was held on Thursday nor of the subsequent
meeting which will grow out of It composed of larger elements which will
be heard at an early day.
The movement which Is being started by these gentlemen Is on* of
much larger moment than the establishment of a hospital or sanitarium.
It looks to a campaign of education, to an enlarged application olthe best
sanitary measures for the destruction of tubercular aputum and the di
minishing of the spread of this fearful disease. It looks to a campaign
of education to teach coneumptlves tbe best and most approved remedy
of taking car* of themselves and of their families and neighbors In tha
growth and progress of this disease, and of pointing them to tha beat pox-
slble chances for remedy and recovery.
Sometime, somewhere, beyond all these things, we must come to
the question of a great sanitarium for consumptives. Other states have
nntltutlnns like this and Georgia Is deeply In need of ono and able to
sustain It. The Taxas legislature will be asked at Ha prasaat xuxxton
to vote $50,000 for a state sanitarium for consumptives, and with the
press and ths pulpit of the state almost unanimously In favor of tho
measure, It will doubtless have a triumphant passage through the present
session of tho legislature.
Georgia has spent more tbsn a half million dollars, nobly and gener
ously. for the care of Its feeble-minded and Insane, and lie annual expendi
ture la princely for that purpose.
Georgia has nearly three times as many consumptives as It has In-
sitne people.
Tbe state owes a consideration to the restoration of the body as
well as to the restoration of the mind. We do not know what proportion
of tho lunatics are restored to sanity at our state asylum, but we do know
that our medical fraternity haa officially declared that It per cent of con
sumptives can" be healed by the proper treatment taken at the proper
time.
And to among other things this movement which is astir seeks to build
up a public sentiment among women and men which will eventually be
strong enough to persuade the state legislature to appropriate a sufficient
sum for the establishment of a great state sanitarium somewhere In
Georgia for the treatment of It* afflicted eltlssne.
We trust with these large general purposes of tbe movament thor
oughly understood, that the full and earnest cooperation of the people
will be given to Its farther progress, that the right band of good men and
of 'good women will be stretched out to help tha movement that touche*
no personal or selfish Interest, but looks sincerely and straightforwardly
to tbe relief and rescue of so many thousand people valuable to Georgia
and the future.
IN A FAMILIAR PLACE.
It la with s sensation tt once curious and agreeable that we find
ourselves once more the editor of The "Atlanta Newa."
It Is Just about s year ago that the’edltor of Tho Georgian, who wa*
nt thnt time the editor of The Newt, walked out of the editorial sanctum
of The News, leaving a fond farewell to memories that were dear and en
during.
Thore did not exist tn our mind* t doubt of the ultimate return to our
own. •
Only to be frank, we did not think It would be quite so soon.
Wc have a clear conscience toward those three editorial years that
made the character of Tho Atlanta News. Faults we may have commit-
ted. errors we may have recorded, mistakes we doubtless made, for we
were falllblo and Intensely human. Hut If we know ourselves and know
the record, that wss a clean and honest page, for which we need feel no
shame In this later and larger day.
It never willingly lent Itself to the advocacy of an unworthy cause. It
spent Itself according to Its lights and power, la tbe championship of good
government, clean politics, and the betterment of homo and school and
society. It never vented a personal grudge or sired s private spite, or re
venged an Individual quarrel. It held highly and sacredly the respoasl-
blltty which belonged to power, and It held the editorial columns as a
definite power.
There are no unkindly recollections to be revived by thia reentry
upon a former title and responsibility. It Is our happy blessing to b* able
to obliterate utl bitterness from retrospection, and to see only the pleas
ant things which sra behind us. and the larger things which are before.
We shall never forget the dsy when our esteemed friend xnd hie amis-
ble honor. Judge Pendleton, was moved to see our offense In a humorous
editorial u|xvn "The Joy* of Neutrality." to which he had condemned ue,
ami laid a serious limitation upon the pen that futhored It.
lint all the things that are gloomy and dark and bitter have faded
out of the horiton behind us, and we take once more the old familiar seat
ns the editor of The News, which Is now happily wedded to The Georgian,
and trust that the good things of the old time may be Joined to the high
purposes of the newer day In a fulfillment of service to the people and the
times.

A Matter for Immediate Attention

one who travels this thorough lure, j
According to general reports, It Is n
mere shell of a wooden structure and |
Is In a condition of positive danger j
which may result any day lu a trage I
dy Involvin'- the loss of life.
The Southern railway, as we tin i
derstand It, Is under obligations to re- I
construct this bridge, under whtrh It j
was given permission to build Its j
tracks, with a stone nr concrete struc
ture which would be durable and safe,
ami this contract It should carry -out
at once. If It does not do so willingly,

must look for protection and relief.
When the newspapers have record-
