<Jn Tuesday,' February 15 next—Just one week off—Greater Atlanta will
be face to face with one or th* deolslve momenta which cities as well as In
dividuals must sooner or later meat
And for years to,come the future of this community will lie deter
mined by the result of this tesi.
Shall the *3,000,000 Issue of bonds be voted ?
Yes or no? , C
The Georgian Is for the bonds. In order to reach the goal at which
we have aimed, It Is absolutely essential. Atlanta can not hope to become
within th* next decade a city of 100,000 soula if »he fails to lay broadly and
deeply the foundations on which she expects to build. We can not fold our
hands In Idleness and expect to achieve thla result when cities like Memphis
and Nsw Orleans have served notice upon us that we must fight the most
vigorous sort of competition.
Wa have only to scan the horizon to aee that strenuous municipal cam
paigns arc everywhere In progress.
And unless wo are prepared to sacrifice what we have gained In the
way of civic prestige, we must incur the outlay which is needed for the
onset.
In all parts of the South sn era of unprecedented development has
begun.
And if Atlanta expects to maintain her reputation she ‘must be alert.
.Street! must be Improved. Water mains must be laid. New schbot
buildings must be erected.
Wager In Atlanta’s history has life and health been put In such Im
minent Jeopardy on account of Inadequate sanitation.
Never has prlvata property been so exposed to fire because of the
lack of necessary water supplies.
Never have the schools been so over-crowded.
Never have the hospitals bstn so overrun.
If It gets abr*ad that such conditions exist in Atlanta, then how In the
name of reason and common sente can we hope to attract capital and
Immigration?
To every thoughtful mind It must be perfectly patent that a crisis of
no ordinary magnitude Is at hand.
It will take every dollar of the Intense sum asked to meet the emer
gency which exists.
We need not fear that any favoritism will be shown to preferred Indi
vidual* or localities In the distribution of the fund.
Th* manner in which th* money Is to be expended has already been
fully set forth.
And the warrant for Hits bond Issue has been underwritten by the
sanest gnd safest business men In Atlanta.
We can not expect to escape an Increase In taxation by refusing to
vote for this budget.
For even If the bonds arc defeated It will be necessary to Increase the
tax levs- to meet actual needs—and nothing will be gained.
Consequently It Is up to the voter to determine Greater Atlanta’s fate
for the next decade at least, and to ssy whether the word of command
on Tuesday next shall be—
"Halt!" or ‘'Forward, march!"
FALLEN WOMANHOOD’S DOOR OF HOPE.
Some time last fall a movement In no sense hostile to the Florence <iit-
tenton Home, but designed to supplement the splendid work of this great
and noble scheme of philanlhropy, was launched without much ndo In tho
way of newspaper proclamation by a small band of sweot-spirlted Atlanta
women.
It was on enterprise to which The Georgian lent nearly support be
cause of the obvious and urgent need which called It forth.
In the flrat place It was impossible for the Florence Crlttenlon Home
without detriment to an Important sphere of charity to cover the entire field
of rescue work.
It was therefore measurably at least restricted to the Magdalene* who
were separated from the other frail unfortunates by the sacred badge of
motherhood.
To reach tho numberless outcasts who needed an asylum, but who could
not In the very nature of things be sheltered by an Institution which special
ised In the treatment of maternity caae*. It seemed that the clearest bugls
call was aounded for an udjunctlve effort of some kind to supplement the
work of the Florence Crlttenlon Home.
And so In duo time this beautiful project was Inaugurated.
Near Hapevtlle, Gu„ un eight-room structure, well built and well
equipped. In the midst of a grove of shade trees and surrounded by a tract
of *0 acres,.was secured for ona year, and tho people of Atlanta were asked
lo make donations. The appeal was promptly and liberally met. Appli
cants were waiting for the doors to open. And the enterprise was chi-lstene.l
under the name of the Sue Holloway Memorial Home.
But in less than three month* the original plan* have been completely
outgrown. '
Ho effective ha* beep the work—so Importunate the demands for ad
mission—so wide the field that th* governing board of the Institution has
decided to enlarge th* »eop* of th* enterprise at once and to call upon the
public, IrrApectlve of denominational creeds, to aid In thin most humane of
ministries. / .
Moreover. It’has been decided to change th* name of the Institution to
the John F. Barclay Memorial Home—in honor -of the prince of rescue
worker* wlio organised In an old passenger coach on the \V. * A. railroad
track* the mission which today bear* hi* name and who Ju*t one year ago
claimed III* deathless crown of reward.
Due to th* fact that he was muchmore widely known In rescue work
than Mies Holloway, who was herself for year* hi* fultliful ally. It wa*
thought best to make tht* change, but Mis* Holloway’s life-long devotion to
the cause of the unfortunate will be suitably memorialised In one of the
structure* hereafter to be erected.
Another Important etep wax taken by the management in calling Rev. E.
H. Peacock to the general agency of th* Inatltulion.
Mr. Peacock was for year* Identlfled most actively before the public
with the various philanthropic enterprise* of the Broughton Tabernacle;
and since the death of Mr. Barclay there I* perhaps no layman In Atlanta
who 1* more deeply Imbued with the latter’s spirit.
It Is likewise an Item of much Interest to know that Mr. Peacock’* head
quarters In Atlanta will be at Mr. Barclay's old office, and that where Mr.
Barclay once sat he can always be found during office hours.
The Jelin F. Barclay Memorial Home will be absolutely nonaectarlan—
an enterprise whleh all can unite In helping.
The Georgian Is gratified to note th* widening scope of this great phil
anthropic movement. *
Above th* warfare of creeds end th* jargon of theological controversies.
It lifts ua Into the blue commons of an unclouded moral amt spiritual other.
It contains the essence of undellltd religion.
And whatever may be our church relationships, if wo but own the fa
therhood of God and th* brotherhood of man wo can not refuse to help the
forsaken outcasts, who are seeking a door of hope by which to return to the
purer and better life and who are what they are. alas! because of man's
Inhumanity to—woman.
Daily. Medical Chat By H. C., M. D.
“THE PATHS.”
It ha» been facetiously remarked that
then? are three paths to death—the al
lopath, the homeopath and the osteo
path.
Which of these is the strait and
narrow path it is not our purpose here
to say, our intention being rather to
give readers a clear-cut idea of tbo
pretentions of and distinctions between
cults or "schools” of practice.
There Is no such thing as an "allo
path” In the practice of medicine. And
there la no such system of treatment
as allopathy. Halinnemann, the father
of homeopathy, coined the term allo
pathy and applied It to the methods of
practice pursued by all physicians
other than homeopathists. Allopathy
means a system of treatment which In
each case produces morbid effects dif
ferent from and opposed to the effects
produced by the disease. Naturally,
then, those doctors who do not agree
with Halinnemann and Ills followers
resent being called allopaths. These
gentlemen call themselves "regular”
physicians, leaving a tacit impression
that the cults who do not agree with
them are Irregular. Without presum
ing to say which school of practice is
right, It Is to be observed that the reg
ular school has a great many more fol
lowers than homeopath5*. eclecticism
and osteopathy combined.
Borne of the brightest men In the
medical profession are found among
egular. homeopathic and eclectic
schools.
Homeopathy is the system of treat
ment which produces symptoms like
those being produced by the disease
under treatment. This system*is baaed
upon the principle that nature combats
each and every disease, showing cer
tain symptoms during the process, and
that the physician should aid nature
rather than oppose her with his medi
cines. Vaccination against smallpox—
and Indeed every form of aerum ther
apy—Is virtually a homeopathic meas
ure, oltho physicians of every school
belfevo In and practice vaccination.
Eclecticism is a system of practice
which claims to compromise between
the other schools by adopting the best
procedures front each. But it would
seem that In actual practice eclectic
physicians are generally distinguished
by their tendency to prescribe rare
drugs of vegetable origin and to expect
from drugs In general effects unknown
to other physicians.
It may be Interesting to note the
comparative number of men at pres
ent studying the several schools of
medicine. In 1908 there were 121
regular colleges of medicine, en
rolling 21,237 students, while there
were only eighteen homeopathic
colleges enrolling 1,03* students.
The exact number of eclectic schools
could not be learned, but there were
less than BOO students studying eclec
ticism during 190*. "The homeopathic
students In 1908 were only one-half as
many as they were eleven years before.
In 1897, And fewer than they wore 30
years before,”
The current impression that homeo
pathic physicians arc those that pre
scribe minute quantities of medtclqes,
and that tho so-called allopaths arc
those who prescribe large quantities at
a time, is a‘totally wrong impression.
And If the truth must be known, the
schools of treatment Is more theoretical
than real, because the best doctors of
alt schools preach more or less upon
the methods of their brothers In actual
practice, and there can be no question
but that the competition in the theories
of treatment, luce competition In all
forms of endeavor, has been conducive
to the welfare hf humanity.

' The cotton manufacturing South of the past has been Identlfled with little

THE MODERN PACE
By HERBERT KAUFMAN.
Modern man must strike th* modern pace. Opportunity changes her
pass word every day, Th* world is whirling four times aa fast as it used
to do. A few misguidsd astronomers may dispute th* fact, but they arc
living among th* stars.
Th* man vVho doesn't keep in step with th* hour mutt drop out of lint.
He's a billiard ball with a flat spot. He won’t go on unlsts he’s thevtd
along. He's In the way of the man behind, and the man behind it wait
ing and straining and watching to Issp in and take hit plac*.
Wear out rather than rust out. Dare mors; speed up and keep up. Don't
be afraid of an error; we don't care for th* always rights, They’r* cow
ards who play safe by sticking to btattn tracks and time-worn ruts.
What has not been achieved or proven they neither attempt nor accept
because they ar* not certain in advanea of its succsss; but th* world is
playing a new gams; a gams in which th* leggerd can net last, a gams in
which the man is his own admittance pries. He can not enter on a bor.
rowed ticket—he can not pasa on tha strength of a mere nam*.
He must put his own judgment in th* seale* and weigh it against thst
of th* universe; while there's breath in hit body and hop* in his brssst
and nerve in hit meat, he must be ready and tagtr to pit hia ambitions
against all humanity.
Ha must be paddtd with self-assurance; whtnavtr you try to hold him
back he must become a human bow, bending to greater powsr to hurl his
shaft of determination twice as far.
Under the strain of pressure ha must be a human spring and rebound;
h* must make of opposition a whetstone, and with it to put a deeper edgs
upon his keenness. Th* eras of vested privilege, of inherited prestige, art
buried with the type of man who mads them. W« ar# making precedent
now, not following it.
Th* twentieth century finds th* world peopled with wonder workers,
whose exploits msk* the sseond-rste efforts of Aladin and th* slaves of the
lamp toy-plays.
Instead of a pair of sevtn league boots w* have tpaoa condensers thst
whirl us across a dozen states in a night.
We have stolen the highways of tha eagle, to make them paths fer
humans. We walk upon th* ocean bede, and ride upon and beneath the
teas. We chat across 4,000 miles of space, and in a month rear towering
palaees of steel and stone.
The precepts and examplsa of th* past, the systems and tha methods of
our fathers are as useless to us as their cannon. We have found a nt <
range; the man of today must reach far if hs would grasp.
Information soon becomes obsolst* in an age where improvement du-
msntlts more machinery than wear and taar; which sets up a creed on* week
and upsets it tha next) which creates a genius yesterday and changes hit
laurel wreath to a fool’s cap tomorrow.
Anything ia possible to tha man whs bsliavss that nothing is impossi.
ble—to th* soldisr of th* forsguard—to him v.ho aims high. A cowsrd esn’t
conquer anything, btcausa hs can't conquer himself. A doubter can’t halo
because he is an snemy to himsalf, a traitor to hia own cause.
Th* right man can navar ss* failure: because the golden sun of ambi
tion is always shining in hit face, blinding hla eyes to the impossibilities. Hs
doesn’t heed the warnings of discouragement, because higher and clearer
than tha noises of th* little people he hears tht call of success.
In an era that breeds an Edison, a Wright, a Marconi, and a Harriman,
no man it aacura who fssls the tense of security. The only cafe goal is tht
horizon, and to reach It one muat keep constantly going,
Wa ar* planning how to annex Mara and how to dig down to th* fur
naces of Vulcan; and who dares sneer, when on* remembers that ten years
ago Langley was thought a fool because he sought to fly upon an aeroplana,
A thousand laboratories are tearing from nature her manufacturing se
crets, reproducing her food and providing for a possibls future in which a
factory will be a wheat field and a ehemiat the father of a steer.
The world ha* forgotten how to rest. There is no such thing as perms-
nsnt victory in any field of sndcavor.
Man is asking why.
We ere accepting nothing on faith. A huge analysis is permeating civ
ilization, Wa are digging down to th* bedrock of every previously acknowl
edged tenet—digging until we strike truth.
The universe wants new ways of doing things, and th* new ways be
come old over night. The twentieth century wa* born without a memory.
It is so busy with today’s achievements and tomorrow’s prospect* that no
one has time to remember yesterday’s exploits. Past performances do not
count; w* strike our totals every 24 hours, and every man must make good
every day,
The spirit of competition ia flying full-winged everywhere. It take* a
stronger and a finer man, a brighter man and a bigger man to make good
in this year of our Lord nineteen hundred and ten than at any time in the
history of th* hoary old world.
The gates ar# down—the fences have fallen—th* miljions have ridden
over th# thousands—th* sons of service arc standing shoulder to shoulder
with the son* of privilege.
This is the hour of equal chances, when any man may hav* what ho
will if he possesses the strength—when th* best man wins, provided that ho
can prova that he Is th* beat man: Thos* whose forebears had but ths
right to use their hand* may now employ their brain*. New viewpoints—
bred of centuries of peasants' dreams and forbiddsn ambition—ar* domi
nant..
An eager Americanism is measuring off centuries in ten-year lengths—
crowding days of energy into hour apace*.
Th# universe no longer believes that brains grow in whiskers. Tht old
er mankind becomes, th* younger ar* its masters.
There ar* no handicap* except those which th* individual placet upon
himself. No reward I* too great for any dreamar, provided that he can
build his ladder a* long aa ho can etratch his vision; but nothing for noth
ing—no gain without th* game, no reward without tha work.
Th# narrow man can not aurvive—the weakling can not last—th* mod
ern pace is wearing down humans as carborundum wtara down steel. Un
lsts h# constantly renews his knowledge and renews his vitality—unless ho
kseps posted and keeps pacing—unless ho adds to his msntal kit the newer
tools of trade, the newer systems and newer economies—he can not hope tt
compete in the after-building.
Broader chests and broadsr foreheads are ready to raplac* him. Th*
young man ia standing at ths grate with hia challenge of ability.
Just as ths power rivatsr replaces untold hammers, just so ths virile,
full-nerved, terrific, high-tension, thinksr-and-doer is pounding down tho
unfit. ,
Tht law of gravity it in full fores—merit is rising to th* top and ineffi
ciency is sinking to th* bottom.
Sentiment and asntimantality hav* no more plac* in th* new commsr-
ciaf battleground than it had in th* day* of Sparta. Human nature hat not
changed—only tho weapons. Th* man who becomes a foolish miser, gloat
ing over his golden yesterdays, ia leat. He must keep absorbing ntw idea*
at constantly as naw air. Hs mutt strengthen his strongholds with evsry
defense—ho must build hia walla higher and thicken and constantly a new
type of man, with new weapons of attack, is marching onward in the dawn,
to offer contest—he asks no quarter and he grants none.
