The richest result which Democracy plucks from tho elections of Tuesday Is the . fourth consecutive triumph of Tom Johnson as the mayor of Cleveland. The whole Democratic country will rejoice in the re-eleotloa of tho stalwart old reformer of Ohio, who defeated the full strength of the Re publican party, municipal, staid and national. In tho city of Cleveland. Tbe election of Tom Johnson for a fourth term puts him distinctly In the list of presidential possibilities, and he has much to commend him to the favor of the definite Democracy of the times in which we live. Tom Johnson, too, Is a man who "docs things," like Roosevelt . and Hearst. Tom Johnson, too, bas demonstrated "executive ability" of a very high order. And there would be no very greet difficulty In creating a very general enthusiasm among the rank and file of the Democratic party for the bravo and honest old Kentucky reformer who has revolutionised tbe richest and most aristocratic city of Ohio. In New York the Independence League has demonstrated a remark able strength for an organization so young in the political world. It will be remembered that Lewis 8. Chenier carried New York fpr the Demo cratic party under the auspices of Tammany Hall by over 90,000 ma jority. And yet Moxlmilllsn Ihmsen of the Independence I*eague reduces this majority to something less than 25,000 and thereby Illustrates the re markable sad significant strength of the new movement led by Mr, Hearst. If there Is anything slgnlflcant In the elections of Tuesday, it Is the fact that the reform element of modem politics Is stronger than party spirit everywhere. Ip aplte of the sneers and scoffs of men who started out with the reform movement and later out-Iierodod Herod In their vig orous denunciation of the corporations, but more recently have given nvi- dence of an all-too-lntlmate acquaintance with the rallied forces of (he trusts, the result of Tuesday Indicates that the heart of the people Is still set toward reform and (till determined upon regulation of the conditions which have distressed the country*. THE OVERWORKED AND TIRED TEACHERS. Once inure The Georgian without hesitation records Its regret that/ tho board of education has turned down the request of tho teachers to be excused from tho long and wearlcomo normal work which the authori ties deem necessary In our educational system. The Georgian with tho profoundest respect for tho good motives and for the good sense which the board has always shown and with the high est Individual respect for Its several members, most unhesitatingly ex presses Its dissent and disapproval of the rejection of this petition. There Is not In our civilization a harder Worked and more seriously taxed body of laborers In a great cause than the teachers of the country. It Is a work that Is taxing to the last degree upon the nerves and brain, and no lean an authority than Solomon In the wlseat chapter of bis book of proverbs has declared' that much study is a weariness to tbe flesh. It Is our honeet belief, tho board of education to the contrary, that these teachers would do better work and fresher work and more effective work among tho children of this city if thay themselves were allowed more time tn sweep the cobwebs of the dally troad mill out of tbolr brulnS anil to Invigorate their bodies ami their blood with more ozone of the air and with the refreshment of additional exercise and recuperation. No amount of study, no detailed knowledge of hooks, cgn compensate for the tired braih'and tbe l&ggard bodies that refuse to furnish the vigor nnd Inspiration which children especially need in the direction of their work. We have children of our own and we would rather see them taught by (eachera who have shown themselves In tho beginning iios- nested of a sufficient schotsrshlp to bo elected by tho board than to have them led along the way by a tired and bloodless company' of Intellectual tollers whose veins are languid with overwork and Whoso brains are clogged by tho long continued air of the achool rooms. We have no desire to bo dlsrespeoiful toward tbe board of education In this matter, but we firmly believe that we apeak the sentiment of more than two-thirds of the parents of this city and of. tho children themselves when we plead'for a furthor nnd a wiser .and more humane consideration of the request and needs of the teachera who do this noble work. There has Dover been any complaint of the capacity or fltneaa of the Atlanta teachera under tbe old system. The demands are not greater upon them now than, they have been la the past, and we should doploro must of an the lapse of life and vitality whlah makes education Inspiring to the young. No argument that has been put forth by tbe board of education In Justification of this added work satisfies either the parents, the ohtldren, tbe patrons or the teachers of our schools. ' We respectfully ask for a reconsideration of the rule. THE WORLD’S FIGHT AGAINST THE WORLD’S PLAQUE. The great steles of Trttas and New York arc loading in the mighty work of jiteventlon and remedy, for the tuberculosis plaguo. it Is worthy of note that these great commonwealths scent to he stirred from their centers to their circumferences by tho necessity for active ami vigorous battle against this plague of tbe contnry. And It Is encouraging to the last degree to uote the vigor, the intelligence and the generous expenditure of brains and money which are being lent In this great battle, from which wc will all In the course of time be batter equipped to flgbt the battle as It roaches within our own local environ- incut. Thle light is Indeed the world’e fight. Since President Loubet retired from the chief executive chair of France, bo bas largely been dovotlng bis life as president of an antt-tuboreulosls longue tb battle against tbs plague In France, an occupation fitting and worthy of an ex-president of a great country. A few days ago The Georgian illustrated the vigor of the effort being put forth by the scientific societies of Philadelphia In which a cart-end crusade was being carried on among tbe poorer daises by the soiontlflc students and philanthropists who spend their noon hour In flvo or ten minute talks to the working people upon the prevention and cure of tuberculosis. Nothing morn notable In this line hat been done than the recent meeting of t(ie American Antl-Tabercufosls League at Atlantic City, N. J. It set on foot the grantor agitation of pure food laws, government Inspection and the auxiliary efforts of woman's clubs. This league is largely the creation of an Atlanta physician, and while we ara violating a confidence to say It, The Georgian can not forbear to pay grateful tribute to tho ceaseless vigor and to the unparalleled generosity with which Dr. Georgo Brown has spent the bulk of his yearly profes sional earnings In tho horolc and. unselfish work of this organisation. The Atlantlo City convention enlisted some et the greatest physicians and experts of tbe country. The reaulti of the convention demonstrated conclusively that consumption must be fought primarily at the dairy farm and in tbe milk supplies. Nathan Straus, the great billionaire philan thropist of Now York, rnado a great demonstration of the value and ne- cesalty of pasteurising milk. Rut the most notable and most hopeful re sult of the convention was the statement seut out with confidence that consumption Is a preventable dlseeae and that the bulk of the suffering caused by this plague can be removed by sanitation and care In the milk supplies. And now comes another large and strategic movement set on foot among scientists and philanthropists in which cbtinent scientists and great women of this country are engaged In this battle against the disease of tbe century. Mrs. Marshall Field, of New York, has been ap pointed by tbe mayor of Chicago on the health and consulting board of that city, with an especial environment to the observation of and pre vention of tuberculosis. Many of the great and active women of Ameri ca have enlisted enthusiastically under tho banner. Mrs. J. R. Briggs, of Dallas, Texas, was elected president* of tbe Woman's Auxiliary League, and In her opening addreta showed that more than six hundred thousand cases of tuberculosis ara now existent In the United States, with 150,000 dying each year from that cause, or one death in every seven and one-half traeeable to consumption. Mrs. Avis Boyce, of Atlanta, a vies president of the Anti Tuberculosis League, showed In her address that more persona died from tuberculosis during tbe last ten years In tha United State* than were killed on both sides during the Civil war. And so tha great work goes on. Tbe Georgian never feels that its space is wasted when It calls attention to this mighty cause. No time and no space Is too greet to give to the awakening of tbe people and to their study In the methods of prevention and relief. It Is the plague of tbe century, it i« more Important t ban state fain, or horse shows, or the building of armories, or the securing of conventions, or the regulation of railroads, or any other question that Concerns this people. And from time to time we propose to consecrate these columns ns we have always dono to Inform the people of tho great danger with which the health of this generation is menaced from this direction and in appealing to energy nnd common sense to Join In this great battle for Its prevention and cure. Every humanitarian, every economist, every, head of a home, and every Intelligent man and woman, should, lend a hand In this mighty nnd majestic work.

"Yet.” continued Mr. Bidder, “si scrupulous are they In the subordlnu tlon of their own Immediate Interests to those of the varying constituencies which they represent that they submit without material protest to exactions and oppressions which uo other Inter est would tolerate. "The newspapers that reached the minimum In price had Increased their average else from u 7-10 pages In 1(90 to $ (-10 pages In 1905.

In some cities prac tically tho entire output of morning obtain from any other employer. A newspaper, to exist, must vun all the time. It can not wait to contest strikes or to resist demands." The Paper Combine. But the labor trust, bud as It Is, does not compare with tho paper combine. Mr. Bidder Insisted, In objectionable features. While the publishing and printing business as a whole turns over It, capital In nbout ten months, the Internationa) Paper Company. Mr. Rid. der said, requires three years to turn over Its capital of $60,000,000. Tho speaker continued: ••The company can not earn more money unless It can do more business, because It lias not the money with which to do so. It Is producing less newsprint paper today than it turned out Immediately after Its organization. “Tho available funds at Its com mand, which should have been used for new paper machines, have gone to ward the acquirement of ,’,597 square miles of timber limits registered In one of the four land offices In the province of Quebec, Canada.
