Strikes Ars Rarely Profitable. We are too sincerely the well wish ers of the motormen and coaductora of the street railway aystem not to coun- ael them against the serious Import of a strike. Such an event upsets a community and work* Injuatlce and Injury to many innocent people who are themselves friends and well wlahers to organised labor. The emergency should be very great aod the wrongs very pronounced and unbearable to drive any body of men to thla organised hostility with their employers, and tho result In most Instances Is to the detriment of the strikers. Of course the right of work ingmen Is unquestioned to do this, and there are times when It seems the only way. but the history of strikes contains little to encourage the striker. We trust that the employees of the street railway will not permit them- aelvea to be disturbed by tho rumor of tt.oeo.ooo of watered stock to be added to the corporation for which they In- hoc. In this matter the people are ex pected to pay dlvtdends on this amount and- It- Is not the cue of the employee to resent the addition. Lot us proceed peaceably to the ballot hoi aa the solvent of every, thing for which ire have reason to eomptaln. ft A Mall Agent Diuento. Editor Georgian: Yon make a number of good suggestions, on many questions, bid yonr suggestion as to how let- tar* should be addressed Is a very poor one. While, as you say. the state Is of most Importance to the route man, It can be seen just as quick at last end of the address as at first end. nnd quicker, because we are In the habit of • looking there for It. Your euggeatlon.wnnld tangle and confuse everybody. I think about aa much of It as I did of Roosevelt's way of spelling. MAIL AGENT. A mall agent la good authority on a question like this, but we are sure thla oa* has forgotten on how many letter* the name of the state Is printed at the Jumping el place on the envel ope. Sometimes, It not always. In abbreviation, mixing New York and New Jersey or Main* and Missouri by imperfect lettering, and In no instance as dear and distinct as It would be If placed definite and Drat at the top. W* apprehend that oar "Mall Agent" has simply grown accastomed to the eld way, has fallen Into the rut of It. ted la sot given In change.

It would be ungracious for Th*‘Georgian to Interfere 1* the contro versy pending between the Chamber of Commerce end our esteemed con temporary of The Journal, and we have no desire or intention to do so. As n member of the Chamber of Commerce, profoundly Impressed' with the usefulness nnd Importance of tbat great organisation, we have at Interest Its continued usefulness gad prosperity. As • cltlxen of At lanta. bound np In Its life and bapplnasa, wo are also concerned that no serious Injuries should be don* to either the usefulness or rspnte of tbat body whleb has been found in Uie pest to be the most effectives- glne of our municipal progress. Under tikes* circumstances, without making any personal allusions whatever to the dramatis personae of thla Interesting controveray. It la oar simple desire In Impersonal term* to defend the Chamber of Com merce agslost the charge which may cripple Its Influence and deetroy Its capacity to serve. Wo protest most earnestly that the public functions of tho Chamber of Commerce hare had no tendency which Justifies the charge that they are bootlicking the railroads or truckling to their policies. -On the contra ry, we think that a casual review of the public occasions of th* last few year* fully vindicate the impartiality of th* board In the hearing of pub lic questions, nnd the signal servlc* It has done In enlightening the com munity upon grent questions of more than ordinary Intsrest. Wo offer facts rather than oontentlqp. The following sr* the principal speakers at notable meetings of the Chamber of Commerce within the past four years: IKJ.

The list goes without eommsnt sgalnst ths charge of railroad leaning. Th* facts t|red no slaboratlon.’ SATURDAY EVENING. The Duka of Wslllngton, looking at the boys In fftelr sports on the playground at Eton, remarked: “It was there tfiat the battle of Waterloo was won." And It la true that the splendid empires which England has founded in every quarter of the globe have had their origin In the pbytlcal and moral stamina—In the courage, strength, endurance, pluck and self-reli ance—learned from tho boat races, the cricket matches and th* football contests of her noble schools. Why. then, should got a busy and aspiring race give due and prop er consideration to the vital theme of Physical Culture. Our ancient hooks have been full of praise of the midnight oil. Our orscles of education have urged unsparing study, and It Is only of recent years that the great and Indispensable science of bodlcultnre baa coma out of the mists of apathy Into the distinctness of a beneficent reality. The last few years of better living have wrought a revolution along this line. * i We are beginning to see that the body as well as the mind has ‘rights that must be respected. We are learning that It the mind, which rules the body, ever forget! latelf to far a* to trample on Iti slave, that the slave will rise and amlte the oppressor In bis pride. W* are learning everywhere, and In aplte of sporadic exceptions, which merely murk the rule, that a sound mind must have a sound body, and tbat although tho palo dyspeptic student may win the prises In college, It I* the strong, vital, sinewy man who grasps the enduring prises of life. We dn not forget the exceptions. Paul, ths great npoetle, waa in bodi ly presence weak. Milton was blind. Paschal was on Invalid. Johnson waa racked by dtssaae. Nelson was little and lame. Chtnnlng prat frail and delicate. Julius Caesar bad fits. Suwarrow stdod but live feet one. Pop* was a hunchback Invalid. Arlatotl* waa a feeble pigmy. And th* world has rarely presented such a spectacle as In the Netherlands, In 1193, among the 130,000 soldiers who were marshalled under the banners of alt Europe the two febieit In body were the hunchbacked dwarf who urged on tho fiery onset of France, and the asthmatic skeleton who cov- oifd the slow retreat of England. list these are exceptions—brilliant exceptions of abnormal and almost Incxplalnablc mentality— which only prove the general rulo. Against these phenomenal few are the whole great race of the world's ronquerore In overy Held of endeavor. That the ktng never die*, nnd that Brougham, of superhuman endurance, never sleeps, was an axiom In Eng land. There was Scott with his manly form. There was Franklin at the mte of 70 camplug as a warrior In the Canada*. There Is Napoleon sleeping four hours and in the saddle twenty. Burns was an athlete; Aeschylus a sturdy wurrior. and Chaucer os ready to light aa to ring. Palmerston, a physical marvel, at fourscore, handling the reins of Eng lish government with the firm hand of thirty. Gladstone at 90 aa much an athlete as • statesman. And Washington and John Adams and Andrew Jackson and the wholo host of the winner* and th* wearers of the world's crowns have had sound constitutions and well developed bodlet In which to frame their giant minds. It Is something more than a witticism to sty that the teat of great ness Is In tho stomach and not In th* brain. Many a man whose thoughts . ore dear and whose conclusion! accurate li halted In critical action by the qualms of a stomach that holds his courago In a alsva, while nmny a stout fellow with a moderate brain and a noble digestion baa gone for ward to victory In the sheer magnetism of confldsnco and courage and good red blood pulsing triumphant In good clear veins, from a soundly beating heart. Grover Cleveland looked onre at Hoke Smith's masslvo form and a •wavering question of n secretary of the Interior waa aettled by a superb physique. And never In his two administrations did tho only Democratic president of the quarter century appoint a weak and sickly man to ofllce. Whatever men may think of physical cxerctae and of the varying forms of physical development. It Is s fact no longer open lo discussion OgU any normal man can do twice as much work for twice aa long a time If he only kttnwa by Die laws of health and Ilfs how to take care of himself. It la nit well enough to know all about the planets and their estab lished orbits; but It is Infinitely of more concern to know the value of good sir and good blood and the best means to get the one Into your lungs and the other to pro|>er and healthful movement In yonr veins. The llle of today Is feverish, swift and restless. The mental wear nnd tear Is Immense. Never before were men devoured by eo Insatiable an ambit Un nr scourged by so merciless an activity. It Is the pace that kills. ■' ‘ We need all the force, all the animalism, all the reserved power that health can give to meet the Joint strain of necessity and opportunity. The age la so wise and prollgc In methods of physical culture that no one ran find now an excuse for being feeble Or III. I<et. then, the man who Is stripping for the race of life count no time or money lost that will make him strong—tbat will store within him tha health and stamina to stand the wear and tear, the worry and the fret of mental endeavorr No man—n»t a man In a thousand—can win without It—and If he wins nil nnd loses this, he has lost the capacity to enjoy hie triumph over time and circumstance.

Following fast upon the energetic canvass which resulted In th* es tablishment of • State Reformatory for the Young, the same forces ere now moving with teal and energy toward the establishment In Georgia of a Juvenile State. The .plan Is neither new nor undeveloped. This enterprise of noble pith end moment has been lueeeMfally Instituted and'executed In New York and other itates. .The mission of the Juvenile State Is to teach delinquent and mis directed children the principles of true self-government, to insure to them justice, preserve peace and foster industry and ter transmit through them to posterity true liberty Insteed of a heritage of crime. On another page today The Georgian prints the story of the Juvenile 8tate and comtnenda It to the careful consideration Of right-thinking peo- pie everywhere. The place to atop a deadly stream la at Its source, end the time to do away with crime Is lo the youth of the criminal. It Is both economy and morals lo do this thing at this time. __ • ‘ In the year of 1900 It coat this country six hundred million doUatg to arrest, try and punish a hundred thonsand criminals. This Is a per capita cost of 10,000 for that year. During the same year there were 16,000,000 children In our schools, which la to.sayl there wqre 1C* times our criminal population. The entire educational outlay for 1900 was 9100,000,000, a little more than one-fOurth of what our criminals coat ua. / But the most startling contrast appear* In the per capita coat'.— Each school child costs 911-00 a year! ' Each criminal coals 96.000 a year! 8ur*ly In view of those tremendous and startling figures It la- lima for this advtnclng and magnificent civilization to catch crime by the throat In tho beginning of Its career and to train our children right. Nothing better or more effective along this line baa been discovered than the Juvenile Elate. The work has been magnificent In other states and thane are strong men behind It here. Clifford Andereoo, James L. Anderson, W. W. Landrum, Frank Eastman, of the auditing committee, have given their strong’and cordial commendation to the work which has been outlined and faithfully pushed so far through the special Instrumen tality of Mr. Crawford Jackion and his assistants. And the same profit that came to us through the establishment of the Juveulle courts is expected to be doubled and quadrupled through the establishment of the Juvenile State. ( We direct with special earnastnea* the attention of thoughtful peo ple to the story of the Juvenile State as published In The Georgian today. Wa feel sure that Its simplicity. Its plan and Its effectiveness will com mend themselves to the Judgment and cooperation of the people. We nhall have more to say of this notable and fundamental enterprise at another time. “AFRICANIZING THE MAIL SERVICE.” The New Orleans TlmcsDemocrat, which la always loyal and nearly always sound, finds cause for serious difference with the poatofflee de partment of the government, on account of the tncreaalng tide of African clerks tbat it lp. pouring Into the mall service. The Tlmes-Deraocrat has been a thoughtful observer .of these condi tions for tome time and declares tbat the swarm of negroes whom the government Is providing for In the mall care not only make* a serious menace In the way of social equality, but has already deteriorated the handling of the malls.' The eomment of our contemporary la so Interest-' lug and so earnest In protest that our strongest Indorsement must rest In reproducing the editorial with hearty approval. The comment fol lows: Unless some means can be found for preventing the railway mall service from being loaded up with negroes, either every self-respecting white man will be driven froifi It or It will become n school of social equality which will undermine the very princi ples upon which Southern civilisation and white supremacy rests. It seema useless to look for any relief from the pot to (Bee depart ment or tho authorities at Washington. Complaints made to them by the white mall clerks In the West .have, been turned down bruskly; Indeed. It Is to be feared that certain necrophiles In power at the capital tea In the postal service an opportunity to - teach tb* South the lesson of negro equality; and they are ac cordingly sending out mixed crews of whites and negroes In the ' postal car* so as to compel the whites to accept and come down to the doctrine of race equality. ‘ It la Impossible to underktand the rules and regulations otherwlso. On runs wholly through Southern territory white and negro clerks are sent oat together. With a single bunk In the ear. the negro sleeps out hla time, then gets up for work, and the white man turns Into the same bunk previously occupied by the negro. They eat together, as well aa sleep together, and bait the time the white man Is under the control of (he negro. Whether or not thin arrangement was made by the negrophllei for tho purpose of driving the white men out of the service and thus making more places for the negroes It la Impossible to say with certainty, but there la every reason to believe that this was the object in view; and the methods adopted are accomplishing this. The resignations of white clerks are so many under this pressure that the negroes now eonntitute SO per cent of the mall clerks on many of tho Southern runs, and arc steadily Increasing their proportion of the total. They have seised on the chance thus offered them, and at Tuskegee, Now Orleans, Now Iberia and other places are postal Institutes whleh make a specialty of getting negroes through the civil service examination and landing them In pot tome* positions; and many of these Institutes are ao wonderfully and Incomprehensibly successful In landing Ignorant and Illiterate negroes In positions that It would be welt worth while to Inquire Into their methods. There are two points to be considered In thla matter—first the danger to Boulhcrn civilization and society from tolerating this Insidious social equality propagated through the poatofflee * department; second, the bad mall service which tho South Is get ting today because competent and exiiorienced white men are be ing forced out to make place for negroes, and In nmny cases In competent or untrustworthy negroes. Shall our postal service be thus sacrificed In order to cnablo a few radical nogrophlles to rarrv thnlr nolnl? Wn havn hnrnlflfnm hoan aNU »« An*J.s .it to carry their point? We have heretofore been able to defeat til their machinations, but they have found a new and ntrong ally In the poatofflee department, which, under tho plea that It cannot keep tho race* apart as they are kept apart In the army, Is Issuing and enforcing social equality orders. The senators snd songressmen who represent tho South at Washing ton will find here an abundant opportunity for.practlcal service In a really serious emergency. For the danger Is not more to the social conditions of the South, than to the postal seiTice whose excellence Is being Impaired by Africanlilng ths mill cars. , A FXJKA8SD 0U8TOMEB is the best advertisement k bank can have.

An Important witness, Mrs. Carrie Gentry, 1s III. of the big undertaking. The party left Colon on a special train; arriving at Qatun. about sight miles out from Colon, they saw the elt* for the Qatun dam: then proceeded on up the line, through the cut, stopping off at several places to see the machine shops, etc., and finally arrived In Pan ama late In the afternoon, where they at one* cams up to th* Tivoli Hotel for dinner. That evening at 9:10 o'clock there waa an Informal reception at the hotel—an Invitation affair—at which were present President Amador and Treasurer Arias, of th* republic of Pan. ama. the governor of the province of Panama, the alcalde of the city of Panama and other prominent men of the Isthmus. After an hour or so of mixing, the chairman of th* combined clubs Introduced President Amador, who made a short speech, followed by Treasurer Arias: then came tha call for a speech from Mr. John F. Stevens, th* chief engineer, followed by applause and cheering which continued at least five minutes before he could begin, and waa resumed as soon aa he bad finished, and lasted quite a while. A crisp, snappy speech waa delivered by Mr. Ellhu Thomson, of Boston, one of the founders of th* Thomson-Hous- ton Electric Company and now on th* staff of engineers of tha General Elec tric Company, Mr. Thomson said that he voiced the sentiment of the party when he said that they were most sur prised—amaaed—at tb* thlaga they had seen—evidences of tha progress that has been made here; and further, tbat speaking for himself. he had started here with hit mlpd rather Inclined to the sea-level canal proposition: that he was now absolutely converted to tha lock-canal—after an Inspection In per son Of the line of tha canal and th* conditions her*; that they were able to see for themsalved* the results of tha work of preparation which bad been ao effectively carried out "We are men of business.'* he said, “men who era accustomed to looking at things Ilk* this In a business-like way: we can't be easily decetved; and we are thoroughly cowl dent that noth. Ing cap stop the successful completion of this canal; It must succeed; It will succeed. Mr, Thomson was followed by ex- Governor David R. Pranda, of Saint Louis. Governor Francis made a floe tulk, covered Ms ground fully, though not at all at too much length; spoke of the esprit de corps which had been created by the personality af Mr. John F.
