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. Seas ton Warren and Carter are do lug all lu their power to Increase the faith of the country In tho Integrity of Secretary Hitchcock by fighting his effort to check the Western land grabbers.
