State Registration for Trained Nurses. The trained nurses of Atlanta and of the state are moving among their friends to secure the passage of an act by the next legislature for the state registration of those engaged In this profession. And It would seem upon the most ordinary reflection a very desirable thing to do. There is Just as much reason why the public should be protected against quack nurejs aa against quack doc tors. When a young woman has gone through several years of diligent study and preparation under a corpa of teachera in a hospital and baa come out after a thorough examination with the itamp of professional approval upon her capacity and character, aha Is then In a real sense of the word a trained nurae and tboae who employ her may do so with a distinct gusran tee of an Intelligent undemanding of the very dutlea which belong to her position. But If from some othar field there should come a young wo- man. however honest and sincere, who had probably spent two or three months in a hospital, who saw lit to subscribe herself a trained nurse, tba public would have no open method of discriminating between the two and might at any time be likely to adopt the untrained and Ineffective nurae tor one who wai thoroughly competent and equal to the work. Bdyond thla It puta a premium upon study and training on the pert of these responsible factors of our sick room llfo to bo protected by lew In the re sults of tbelr study and preparation, nnd will induce all of those who aspire to the position of a nursa to make such legal preparation and to stand such legal examinstlon as may be re quired. Ilotb for the purpose then of the en couragement end protection of the graduate nurse and to protect t the gen eral public against the spurious nurse where we now have no means of dis criminating, It Is deemed best for the legislature to pats a law requiring a state registration for nurae* who will have the right to sign "Registered Nurse" after thefr names. And this will make to the patient the aame difference as being treated by a legitimate M. D. and a mere man who carries his saddle bags or his medicine ease without a license. Carmack of Tennessee. There is no doubt that Kdward W. Carmack la the "favorite sou of Ten- Defeated. It la true, In the last sen atorial campaign, the brave and bril liant publlclit Is only retired for a time. HI* name baa magic to attract and hia tongue baa eloquence to charm the greatest audiences In hla state. He is bfmself a chivalrous and dashing gentleman, brave as a lion, handsome aa Alciblades and eloquent beyond the rim of mere oratory. TAnnesaee through all her views is Justly proud of him and the laurels in her public life arc waiting aU Impa tient for hla manly brow. AS TO GRADY HOSPITAL. Since open eharjfcfi have been made in couneii in reference to the conduct of our city hospital, Tlie Georgian feels war ranted in saying a word in this connection. There lias been n great deal of comment lately—and some of it true—that does not reflect credit on the way Grady Hospital is managed. Some serious irregularities have been charged, and we have investigated some of the complaints. The stalT of physicians. including such names as Calhoun, Klkin, ltaird and others, represents the highest type of South ern professional citizenship and is too valuable to be annoyed or ' driven from its connection with the hospital; as may happen if further criticism of the institution is indulged in. Furthermore, the board of trustees, with such men as Hirseh. Lowry, Lowndes, Maddox, English and others, is subjected to criticism that is be ing brought down upon it by causes not within its control. The seat of the whole trouble is pretty generally conceded to be mismanagement, superinduced by the fact that the city does not allow the hospital sufficient funds to employ adequate management. Xo personal reflection on Dr. Brewster is intended in this. Dr. Brewster himself probably realizes that he has more than he can do. and he should be willing to give way to a younger and more active management. Grady hospital is one of our most important city institutions, tbe last one that should suffer injustice, regardless of. the cost. Under no-circumstances should further criticism be permitted without investigation. Some of the complaints come from par ties whose profession could bias them—physicians and druggists. Let us have s committee from council that shall cOntaiu no physicians or druggists, but be made up of men who have no cause for bias in any way. Under the direction of this commit tee let us have the entire workings of Grady Hospital gone into, and Jet the committee he empowered to employ outside expert knowledge, if necessary, at the city’s expense, and report as to what is needed To place our grant institution of mercy above re proach. j Enough of this childish fear of treading on somebody's toes while the city suffers. If the boil is there, let’s pick it, and do it before summer is here. . great extent spinner and pro- nnd prices must no ducer. % Will the spinner assist the farmer in keeping prices at a point will net him a reasonable profit in the absence of speculation? TAXING EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTIONS. In a recant Uaue of The DeKalb New Era Mr. W. F. Pattlllo Contrib utes a strong and convincing plea against the taxation of Agues Scott and other college properties by the .action of the grand Jury of that county. Mr. Pattlllo is a member of tbe Methodist church and therefore has no denominational Interest In the Agnes Scott college beyond that of a clt- lien who realizes Its great vslne both present and future to his county and to tbe etata. The argument of Mr. Pattlllo Is strong and we regret that space does not permit ua fo reproduce it here In full. It Is a serious question which we never yet have settled to the satis faction of the majority A to whether these educational Institutions should be taxed. In our Judgment tbe burden of the argument Is against the proposition to make them pay at this time in material revenues to the state. We do not need to pause here to consider the enormous amount of good which these educational Institutions are doing. The structures that they are rearing for our homes and for the ctvle places of the state are of the enduring kind which work themselves Into the warp and woof of our civilization. No material estimate can be put upon the services of those great educational Institutions. The young men whom they build up go out Into the world as creative factor* developing properties. Improving cities and In time paying larger taxes Into the revenues of the cities or states In which they live. The homes whose happiness and Influence are heightened and deepened by the lessons of character aud intelligence planted—all these are things beyond the compilation of the flnandor and are not to be written In the sordid dollars of taxes or of mere material money*. Beyond Ibis there Is another consideration whfeb seems to be potent at this time against the present taxation of our educational institutions. We are yet In an Inchoate state In our Southern schools and colleges. When we compare our equipment and our receipts with the magnificent pile* of brick and mortar whlcb behind stately endowments are doing the educational work of the North, we can realize how far we are yet behind In the great procession of Intellectual training and development of our youtb. The time may come when with their debts paid aud with their equipments perfected these Institutions may begin to pay large revenues Into tho pocket* of any private Individuals who happen to own them, liven then it Is a doubtful quostlon whether tbe work they do and the mission they perform ought not to exempt them from tbe grasp of the tax gatherer. But U la certain now that they should be permitted and encouraged to prosper and to grow strong and to build up their building* snd facul ties and equipment and every facility of education before the state reaches out Its hand to demand Its financial tribute from their work. If the state was very needy and Its civic emergency very great there would be larger Justification for laying a tax upon to the Institutions which are building citizens and tax payers for the future. But In this tlmo of growth and progress and of necessity It would seem to he a wise, strong policy to collect the taxes somewhere else. BRYAN’S NOBLE SPIRIT. Mr. Bryan never shows to greater advantage than upon those occa sions which touch his magnanimity and his rare unselfish temper. Tbe real caliber of the man and tbe secret of his marvelous hold upon tbe people is that moral fibre within him which responds to great sugges tions and his great capacity to subordinate selfish ambition. A proposition of a daring and unusual nature was presented to Mr. Bryan In Chattanooga which Involved the apparent sacrifice of bis own ambition upon the altar of his party. A lesser man than the great Nebraskan with the spirit of the partisan in his veins and the thirst of the office seeker in his heart would have fiercely protested and perhaps Indignantly repelled the suggestion whlcb was presented to his mind. Instead of that the Great Democrat rose to the height of noble contemplation of thq line of conduct which bad been presented to his view. He was big enough and bravo enough to recognize tbe sincerity and honesty which moved the suggkstlon, and he right royal ly paid tribute to tbe courage, tbe Joy ally and the integrity of the man who made It. * More than that, he gave serious and thoughtful consideration and ex tended frank discussion to the startling proposition of present sacrifice for ultimate triumph, presented to his view, and declared that while he could not aubscribe under present lights to the proposition presented, be would, if the matter ever came to his mind with the conviction which had moved Its expression on the floor of the ban quet hall, put this heroic suggestion Into execution If It was the last act of his life. Very rarely has Sir. Bryan paid higher tribute in expression to any man than he paid to the author of the speech to which he replied. Nothing that Mr. Bryan could have done or'said could have stamped him more highly with the Impression of a noble nature and a generous soul. Men who bate heretofore known and admired the Great Nebraskan for his transcendent eloquence, for his high Integrity, for bis unbroken con sistency end for hie masterful life, learned at the Chattanooga banquet to see him In the new light of noble magnanimity and In the highest and most unselfish temper in the contemplation of any patriotic plan however prejudicial to his selfish Interests at the time. Men who had looked at Mr. Rryan heretofore through the shining eyes of admiration, saw him last night through misty tears of iioaltlve affection. And The Georgian, whose representative was there, brings back a higher and a broader conception nr the absolute sincerity and patriotism of the man whom the Democracy always deiighteth to honor. If Mr. Bryan can be elected president of the United States, there Is "no man in the great rank of our party who we would rather see wear the chief laurels of tbe state. But whether he can or not, if the party to which we both belong shall place the commission of, leadership in his hands this paper la one, which with no dogmatic adherence to previous expression of belief, with no obstinate clinging to the creeds which seem to point a batter ond a larger way, will, with utter loyalty, follow his symbol of leadership even as the Frenchmen In their battles followed th» white plume M Navarre. Army-Navy Orders —and— MOVEMENT OF VESSELS. WILL SPINNERS SUPPORT PRI0ES7 North Carolina. South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, Arkausas and Tex as have passed laws prohibiting speculation In futures, cotton, grain, pro visions and stock*. In Tennessee tbe law was defeated, and In Louisiana transactions In futures are not prohibited. It la contended by some that speculation depresses the prices of cot ton, hence the farmers through their sisoclstiont hare requested aud have been mainly Instrumental in doing away with speculation. Cotton has at times told below the coat of production while speculation was In full away. It b#| also sold at fancy prices under the same conditions. Tbe lowest priced crop was the first bumper crop produced by tbe South. It.was marketed at a time when the consumptive demand was not equal to the supply, 1 The speculative elements took advantage of this condition and the farmer was the loser, large quantities of that crop selling at 5c and below. Apparently It was tbe lack of consumptive demand that depressed prices that season. If tbe spinners opposed the decline historians failed to give < them credit. ’ For the past six or seven years, more especially the past three years, the demand for goods bas been so great that consumptive requirements are running an even race with production, and as a consequence the first bumper crop was a small affair when compared with the 1904-05 and tbe 1900-07 crop*, both as to size and price. Apparently tbe demand was equal to the supply and the speculative element took advantage of this condition and prices gradually sought a higher level, while the foreign spinners were bunting tbe world over with the hope that they could find some spot that would produce American cot ton so that they could act indep^dently of tbe American speculator. The English spinners would even Invade the cotton belt, buy land and bring over tbelr cheap labor to produce cheap cotton. And yet some con tend that the spinner Is opposed to speculation because It depresses the price of cotton. • Does the American spinner oppose speculation for the same reason as given by the English spinner? It has been elated tbe American mill* are under contract well Into nest year for good* on a basis of 14 to 20c for raw material, for which they are paying lie and less. Apparently they are willing to pay within 2c to 8c per pound of what It Is worth. Who derives the greatest benefit from low priced cotton, the spin ner or (peculator?
