GIVE THE PEOPLE THE PARK, GENTLEMEN OF COUNCIL Atlanta is either to be a city or a country town. And no one thing will better mark this difference than the wlso pro vision which is made for the fnture in public parks. New York, right In Its throbbing heart of commerce,- has Madison Square Garden of fifty acres, worth over one hundred thousand dollars a front foot, which Is given up to a breathing place and play-ground for the children, and the man would be deemed a traitor to civilisation and humanity who would suggest Its diversion to commercial purposes. Scarcely a half- mile away there Is Union Square, another park of. nearly similar alze, given up to the tame noble end, while all over that great city land of fabulous value is cheerfully conceded by the great metropolis to the health and pleasure of Its people. Atlanta must catch this spirit and put it Into execution. Tho mayor haa very wisely urged in his message that Marietta Street school, which it has been agreed to remove from lta present location, should be utilised for a public park for the people In that crowded section of the city. The little children and the tired mothers among the working people need It more than they need anything else that the beneficence of municipal government could put there. And The Georgian sincerely trusts that tho city council will consider this matter In the wise and progressive light of city men and not of country legislators, and tbat no argument for It shall be disregarded, and that no consideration less than the happiness of the people shall permit them to turn down this proposition. By all means, let the Marietta street section consecrate this space for breathing and health to the children and women and men who live there. AN APPEAL TO THE LEADERS OF REFORM. Seriously, and without any disrespect to any friend or contemporary, we fall to understand the attitude of certain public men and prominent newspapers toward Governor 8mlth, tho railroad commission and the present reform administration. A very distinguished gentleman who has our highest esteem is In sistent upon tho policy of summoning an extra session of tho legisla ture. His views, as his views always do, come strongly and effective ly, and will carry conviction to many minds. No one can question the honesty of his belief that an extra session is the duty and the policy of the present administration. For reasons which should be equally respected, Governor Smith has seen best up to the present time not to calf an extra session of the legis lature. it may be assumed that the governor has good and sufficient reasons for this policy. Certainly no man In Georgia has more at stake In the fulfillment of the promises of reform made In the last campaign than the governor wno led the fight. Certainly no man In Goorgla could be cred ited with a more sincere desire to utilise, If nacediary, every agency and opportunity to frame these campaign pledges Into statute law. And for these reasons no sane reformer can fall to respect the reasons, when the governor sees fit to give them, which have caused him to decline the extra seailon. Now this difference between these eminent gentlemen—the one tho responsible chief executive of the state and the other nn eminent pub licist, who was one of bis most loyal friends—should not antagonize these men and should by no means serve to bring about any break or wrangle In the solid and harmonious ranks of the reformers who have fought and won the moat majestic victory In the later history of this commonwealth. Nor do we think that It It either good policy or solid patriotism that this difference In the ranks of the reform movement should be aired In tho public printa and fulminated In public declarations on either side. The fact that this ha* been done and Is being done will necessarily do muoh to demoralize the ranks of the reform element, and to cheat them of that success upon whirl) tho relief of the people depends. Statesmen of Infinitely smaller magnitude than these should realize that open and public wrangle between leaders over these mere questions of polloy give Infinite comfort and*courage to those who are fighting them. They convey tho Impression to the outside public tbat reform Is In vital danger because of the division among Its friends. They encour age the Opposition to .fight with redoubled vigor to redeem lost ground and to return the people to the condition from which they were res cued by the last election. Indeed there are those, and they are many, who believe that this di vision between the leaders of the party has been cunningly developed and It now being carefully fostered by some of the arch enemies of re form who have fought It from the beginning with energy and conspicu ous ability. We appoal most earnestly to these distinguished men occupying these responsible and Important positions that they should discuss and decide these divisions among themselves, and that no controversy should bo allowed to convey to the public the damaging suggestion of differ ence and division among the ranks of the people's friends and cham pions. It Is a policy of utter and almost criminal folly to do this. And as one who ha* fought sincerely nnd earnestly for the reforms which are now In process of completion, we earnestly repent tho plea that our leaders shall be discreet In the utterances of tbelr division and that they shall remember so fully the high mission of reform that when they can not agree, they will bo wlso and great onough nnd tolerant enough to "agree to disagree” and to compromise some of their own opinions to the safety of the great common end that they have In view. This Is certainly no time for Intolerance and wrangle among the Isadora of reform. God knows the battle has been long enough and hard enough and the victory too dearly bought to be forfeited to pride of opinion and differences In mere method of accomplishing the great end of Reform. * At this period tolerance Is n virtue and wrangle Is a crime against the people. ' A MIGHTY MODERN MOVEMENT. One of the tremendous movements at modern times la the organisa tion of great and distinguished Americans who have banded themselves together under the title of the "Committee of One Hundred," appointed by Section I of the American Association for tho Advancement of Scl- *ence In tho Federal Regulation of Public Health. It la the most vital physical movement of the century, inspired by the enormous Increase of germ diseases from the development of our later day civilisation. The growth of population, tho multiplication of germs, the Infection of rivers, the awful strides of tuberculosis, have alarmed the world, and thoughtful men have cause In serious gravity to realise that the energy and wisdom of the race must unite to fight the conditions which are menacing and world-destroying in their Increase and magnitude. This “Committee of One Hundred” Includes most of the great names of the republic, from the president througb Lyman Abbott, Jane Addams, Daniel Oilman, Archbishop Ireland, President Eliot down through the .lilt of active and militant minds in the country, and the evidences are gratifying that Interest la becoming transcendent In tbe Issues which are Involved. The committee Is preparing to memorialise the next congress for attention to these great dangers In the order of their Imminence, and ts now canvassing tbe Judgments of Its members, as to which of the fol lowing questions presents the moat Imperative demand for attention, and commauds the widest popular approbation In Justifying a marked Increase In the Federal regulation of public health: (a) The facts that the Ohio river represents a thousand miles of typhoid fevqr, and the Hudson river a cloaca maxima from Albany to the sea; the prevalence of death among millions, arising from the pollu tion of drinking water and of Ice, and tbe rapid Increase of pollution of our rivers, the boundary lines between states, which only Federal regu lation can control; or, (b) Tbe facta, that out of 80,000,000 of our people, 8,000.000 must perish from tuberculosis, the white scourge, which with proper regula tion enforced by the Federal power can be exterminated as completely as the smee dreaded smallpox; and that the uniform enforcement of national health regulations In all states is absolutely imperative, be cause Infected persons travel from state to state spreading the dis ease; or, (c) Tbe facts, tbat the bubonic plague has gained such a foothold . In California that national aid was asked; that the plague lias behind it a history of devastation more terrible than human words can portray, and should It once gain a foothold In a crowded metropolis, and spo radic cases begin to develop, this disease will cost more, in life and effort than tbe adequate appropriations for a great national organization of health operating over tho period of a generation. Only by extend ing the national quarantine can other states bo protected against lax ity In the enforcement of health regulations by a single recalcitrant state; or, (4) Tho facts, that the milk supplies of cities are often drawn from adjoining states over which state control Is difficult to maintain: and that Infant mortality varies directly with the purity of the milk supply; or, (©) The facts, that the public have no means of obtaining reliable health Information, and the thousand questions which anxious fathers and mothers ask themselves go unanswered simply because there is no office at Washington equipped for the purpose. If strawberries wilt in New Jersey or lambs fall'sick In Arizona the Department of Agriculture give* elaborate Instructions aB to 'what should be done. But two mil lions of human beings die each year—a large fraction, and literally be cause they can not find out how to live. This Is a national movement that will doubtless become a world movement. It affects the health, the happiness, and the very life of every man, woman and child In the country, and It Is a matter of Indi vidual and universal rejoicing that the great men of the republic are awake and astir for resistance to the peril* that threaten every home In America. • No question more important than this has come before the people. No newspaper can do a better thing than to give It prominence and In dorsement. i And tho people should rally In the power and might of public opinion to press upon congress the great duty of liberal and fearless co-opera- tlon.

If the soft radiance of a star, whose tender shining In one accustomed place had brought us inspiration and comfort and help, should be suddenly removed beyond our ken of vision, we might feel something of the same amazed sorrowfulness with which those of us who knew and loved Miss Nannie Jones realise now that she has passed forever from our present life. For sixteen years, with but little In terruption, she has been In her place In Fraser Street school, with wisdom and patience and conscientious fidelity, helping the little ones to take their first step* In path of knowledge, and Im pressing upon their young minds the principles of truth and uprightness. She brought to her task, 1 not only a noble Christian character, high Ideals, refinement, taste ahd strength to ac complish, but a wise sympathy and a merry, genial humor that banished many a difficult situation for her little puplts. She had unusual executive ability, hidden to a large extent by her modesty, and so brightly and bravely did she fulfill her duties In her home, her schools, with her Sunday school class and among her friends, that not many knew of her capacity for gener ous self-sacrifice and devotion. Knowing how she will be missed In our school and In her home, where her life was rounded out Into still greater usefulness and blessing, we offer the following: Resolved, That since by the hand of death Miss Nannie Jones has been taken from our midst, we express our sincere and loving appreciation of her life and character, and of her valuable and faithful work in our schools. Resolved. That to the family circle, so deeply bereaved, we extend our earnest sympathy. Resolved. That a ropy of these reso lutions be sent to the family and to the dally papers. MOLLIE STEVENS.
