The Answer of the Governor-Elect.
We trust those who have worked themselves Into a fever of anxiety
ovor the position of Joseph M. Brown, Democratic nominee for governor,
toward the national ticket are satisfied now. '
Those who know him understood from his standing and Interviews
that he would undoubtedly Bupport the national Democratic ticket. Mr.
Brown may have made the error of not stating that fact definitely and
specifically at the outset to prevent even any grounds for questioning his
stand among those eager to confuse or embarrass him.
But he has his own way of doing things, and usually his positions are
carefully thought out before he takes them. Regardless of all other con
siderations, Mr. Brown could not have afforded to do otherwise than glvb
the national Democratic ticket hi* hearty and cordial support. As we
state, he may have erred In not stating so specifically earlier, tho his
friends knew there was no question as to his stand.
But he deara the atmosphere In his statement: "I am glad to encour
age othera to vote aa I shall vote—for the nominees of the national Dem
ocratic ticket—Bryan and Kern. . No Democrat In Georgia can afford to
vote otherwise."
The atmoaphere Is clearing all around. The apprehension In some
quarters that a large number of discontented voters would bolt the nomi
nee seems unfounded. Leader* who backed Governor Smith and believe
In him strongly have made It clear that they will vote for the nominee.
The Young Men’s Democratic League of Atlanta officially sets at rest
rumors that that organization will not give the Democratic nominee cor

Now, let everybody-stop quibbling and pointing an accusing finger.
A State-Wide Crusade.
A remarkable crusade has been under way this year In Georgia, thru
both the large dally and the weekly press. Cities, towns and villages
are working vigorously and persistently for clean and sanitary conditions.
Such crusades are not unusual In the larger c|tles, where careless
ness or neglect of rigid sanitary regulations may result In serious epl- x
demies and menace to the general prosperity and growth, but the small
towns have paid little attention to auch things In years past
But a broad and general awakening has come, and now the weekly
press Is really the most vigorous advocate of civic cleanliness. One can
hardly- pick up a weekly In Georgia without finding strong articles In
sisting that the authorities cut down weeds and clean up the trash and
refuse. The householders are called on to keep their premises clean and
sanitary.
This crusade Is resulting In two Important things, tt Is making the
small towns and cities more sightly and attractive, and, better still, Is
Increasing the general healthfulness. There are many beautiful and at
tractive towna In Georgia, but sometimes their beauty la marred by dirty,
unkempt streets, lota and yards. When you see a city clean, with or
derly and well-kept homes and premises, you tee a place worth watching.
In this general crusade Atlanta needa a great awakening. The city
Is growing and expanding by leaps and bounds. Necessarily In this rapid
expansion there has been neglect of adequate sanitary precautions. It is
a thing of such tremendous Importance that the city can not afford to
neglect It, whatever the cost As a general thing, homes in Atlanta, both
those of the wealthy and those In humbler walks, are well cared for. But
one neglected borne In a community may not only mar the beauty of the
entire vicinity, hut menace its health.
The obligation la almost as strong on the property owner and home-
owner as the municipality. It matters not how modern and careful a,city
government la In preserving sanitary conditions, a few careless people can
practically nullify all that good work.
Inasmuch as all of the candidates for mayor have pledged themselves
to making Atlanta clean and wholesome from a sanitary standpoint, there
seems to be no doubt that we shall go forward In that direction. But the
people must cooperate. Atlanta can not afford to lag behind In a matter
of such great Importance.

THE VALUE OF 8PECIAL
TRAINING IN RELIEF WORK
To the efficient practical and ready
help given Augusta by Mr. J. C. Lo
gan. Miss Lalng and Miss Thomson, of
Atlanta, who came to our city to ren
der first aid nfter the wreck of the
flood, too much appreciation and thanks
can not be offered. Their teal and In
terest, as well a* their well planned
and adequately executed effort*, have
been a world of assistance In the work
of relieving distress end suffering,
which seemed to stretch at first In
all directions, and paralyse effort with
the very urgency and multiplicity of
Its appeals.
It would be quite Impassible to tell
the half that this little trio of well-
equipped and noble workera, coming to
ua with the free gift of their time,
their hearts and their hralna. have
done for Auguata. What eacrlfices
they made, what hard work and hard
hours they endured and what unflag
ging devotion they put Into their vol
untary task will never be known, for
they themeelvea will not tell It.
It Is also very hard to fully realise
whnt the cnunael, advice and direction
of these charily workers, trained and
verted In methods proven to be moat
quickly effective and moat nearly Just
In dispensing relief, meant to ua at
the lime It was given. There were
plenty of willing workers In Augusta,
plenty of hearts wrung by the suffer
ing and plenty of good, unseldeh
men and women eager to help In ev
ery possible nay. but the calamity
was In Its nature, paralyzing and
a work ao stupendous was beyond our
preparation and equipment. Many val
uable workers were out of town and
found It Impossible to return. The
lack of telephone and street car eon-
vinlences made communication and
co-operation exceedingly difficult. It
was at this time that Mr. Rowland,
the president of the Augusta Asso
ciated Charities, received a telegram
from the Associated Charities of At
lanta offering to give assistance by
sending trained worker* to our relief
If U would be acceptable. Mr. Logan
was telegraphed for and came at once,
without remuneration and without even
having his expenses paid. He prompt
ly centered and organised the work,
co.operating with the workers In Au

Lalng followed In * few dn-vs and were
of inestimable help throughout—Au

those editors who find It more con

kick to make, hut rather considered It
a kind of compliment. But the woret
