An Abuse and Its: ’
Rem<dy. >: •’
From many causes the system
of justice peace courts in At
lanta 'hAs grown into an ahus&—
a prostitution of the jnachincry
of the law for the sake of the
fees Connected therewith.
That this ig true of the system,
notwithstanding..aonje of the jus
tices are all that could be asked
in thp tody M ehscacter and abil
ity, is attested by the present
ments of numerous grand jnrica
and the experience of practically
every lawyer of tho Atlanta bar.
The justice court system in a
city 'as large as Atlanta is a mis
erable, cruel failure—miserable
in that it is a travesty on any
thing' like justice, and cruel in
that it works' untold hardships
on the poor and ignorant, the
very classes that'the laws'are de
signed to guard and protect.
This, then, is the, abuse. The
remedy is the abolition of all

Election Amendment.
For the first time in the his
tory of the country a bill pro
viding for an amendment to-tfce
constitution to allow United
States senators to be elected by
direct vote of the people has
passed the senate.
This great reform demanded so
long,by the American people has
at last succeeded in forcing itsolf
thru the house it is designed to
reform, but it got thru weighted
down with an amendment which
puts in peril its final success.
The Amendment offered by Sen.
ator Bristow provides that the
Federal government shall retain
control of the time, place and
manner of holding the elections.
This gives congress the right
in such elections to upset the
suffrage laws which are .so-essen
tial to the political and racial
existence of the South, and for
this reason the amendment jeop
ardizes, the success of an other
wise greatly beneficial measure.
It is jeopardized in two par
ticulars: .It, is doubtful if the
Democratic house will consent to
the amendment, hut if it does,
and the measure is submitted to
vote of the legislatures of the
states, it is very doubtful indeed
whether three-fourths of the
states, as is required by the con
stitution, can be got to ratify it
with the Bristow amendment In
corporated in it.
How hard it will be for the
election amendment to secure the
approval of three-fourths of tho
states ,can be realized when it ‘ is

establishment in their place of a
municipal court of similar juris
diction, presided over by sala
ried judges And its processes exe
cuted by salaried bailiffs..
The Atlanta Bar association
has recognized tho seriousness of
the abuse and is preparing a bill,
to be introduced at the npproach-
ing session of the legislature, to
secure the remedy.
In order to make the remedy
effective, an amendment td the
constitution of Georgia is neces
sary, and the bill which is to be
presented merely provides for the
submission of Rtich an amend
ment'to the vote of the people at
the heat general election. It will
apply only fo the large cities of
the state, and only, to -such of
them as desire a change from the
justice court system.
In: no way will it interfere
with the justice courts in the ru
ral districts and smaller towns
and pities where such eonHs are
adequate to the situation and are
uniformly successful. .It- merely
giveq the legislature'the power to
permit the large cities, of the
state that wish to do so to estab
lish municipal eourts .in lieu of
justice courts.
So framed, the bill pnts the
decision as to the adoption of
the policy up to a vote of all
the people, and then afterward it

P0ST0FFICE DEPARTMENT HAS SURPLUS
For tho first time in thirty years receipts exceed expenditures.
FJrnm The Fourth Estate.
The postofflee department’ for the
flret time In nearly 30 years Is self-
supporting. Postmaater General Hitch
cock announces that the department Is
now able to meet Its entire expenses
without aid from the Federal treasury
and ha* accordingly returned to the
secretary of the, treasury 93.000.000
which wai set dside from the public
funds to defray the expenses of the
postal service In the current fiscal year.
Not only Is the service now self-sus
taining, JJut there Is at preann't, accord
ing to the postmaster general's an
nouncement, a postal surplus of more
than 91,000,000. The postmaster gen
eral expects that this surplus will be
greater for the entire year unless ex
traordinary expenses occur In the next
month.
The wiping out of the postal deficit
within two years Is regarded by Pres
ident Taft as one of the most satis
factory accomplishments of his admin
istration. When the Taft administra
tion entered upon He life It Inherited a
deficit of ftlrtre than 917.SOO.OOO, the
largest In the history of the .postal
service.
The postmaster general contends that
the big deficit has been wiped out not
by curtailing postal facilities, as some
of his critics havd contended, but by
introducing business methods In the
department and extending the service
along profitable lines.
Were it not for reforms In the finan
cial system of the-nogtofflee department
adopted under the present administra
tion, It would not be possible to make
the refund of 93.000,000 to the Federal
treasury, even tho the postal revenue*
for the current year had exceeded the
expenditures.
An accounting plan adopted about a
year ago Insures the prompt doposft in
the treasury of postal funds, not Im
mediately required for disbursement at
postoffices, thus making available for
use by the department several millions
of dollare that under the. old order of
things would be tied up In postoffices,
Under tho former system It required
a surplus of 910,000,000 to finance the
postal service. Under present condi
tions, Mr. Hitchcock, It Is said, returns
tho 99.000,000 with the feeling that the
postal revenues will be more than suf
ficient to defray the expenses of the
postal service In the present year.
The postmaster general Is hopeful that
the surplus will continue to grow In
the next year, and It will be possible
seriously to consider the proposition to
establish one .cent letter postage rates.
In the two years that the postofllco
department has wiped out a 917,900,000
deficit 3,089 new postoffices have been
established, delivery by letter carrier
has been provided In 143 additional
cities, 9,124 new rural routes have been
authorised, aggregating 51,220 miles In
length, and the force of postal,, em
ployees In the several branches of the
servlcs hag. been Increased by 9,274
men. •
in addition, the-salaries of the em
ployees in the two years have been In
creased 911,70*,0,71. , , .

oJteMilation nn^l silly im-
ugimng.
In the first year of President
Taft’s administration the $17,-
500,000 deficit inherited from
past administrations was re
duced to $6,000,000, and only a
fewBweeks ago Postmaster Gen
eral Hitchcock returned to the
treasury the $3,000,000 annually
appropriated by congress for the
operation of the postoffice de
partment, with the statement that
tho department was now sclf-
besidea.
Tho past deficit wiped out and
the present surplus on hand arc
due, it is estimated, two-thirds
to increased receipts and the rest
to economies in operatiou. The
fact that • so large a part of it
is due to increased receipts
augurs well for the establish
ment of the pinny postage at
no very distant date.
Penny postage is undoubtedly
highly desirable, but there is one
postal innovation, however, which
should precede it, and which
would do milch to hasten it, and
thnt is the establishment of a
parcels post.
In the parcels post depart
ment, should it bo established,
the receipts would increase so
fast in proportion to tbe i cost
of installation and subsequent
maintenance, that the postoffice
surplus would |ie swelled to a
huge extent, and the day of pen
ny postage would indeed be at
hand.

Hogs can be raised In Georgia at a
cost of three to four cents a pound by-
planting such' erupt as they can gather
for themselves, and with good care and
attention will bring more ready money
than anything else that can be pro
duced on the farm. The farmers of the
middle states find It more profitable to
false hogs than horses,- and the money
comes more quickly. a» horses and
mules have to be., three or four year*
old before they can be put on the mar
ket, while the hog crop can be mar
keted annually. This Is une reason that
hofses and mules are so high In price.

(By ROE FULKERSON
"And haven't ye ever tried ter fit
work?"
“Yep. I wunst tried ter git work fer
two of me pate, but day wouldn't taka It.
“Had no references, so you turned him down, eh?” said the Business
Doctor. “It may be that he deserved to be turned down, after air for I
know of no one thing on the top side of earth quite so easy to obtain as a
reference. Any man who has been able
to keep out of Jail and wear only
clothes with the stripes running ver
tically, and not horizontally can get a
handful of references, which are as
meaningless as the hieroglyphics on the
tomb of Rameses III.
"I was In a store a week ago, when
a man came In looking for a position.
He said he had been with a, rival firm
for eight year*, but had been dis
charged the day before without refer
ences, and all he wanted was a chance.
The man to whom he was applying
simply took up a desk phone and, call
ing up the rival house, asked If the
man had worked there for eight years.
When he received an affirmative reply,
he gave the applicant a position, say
ing as he did so that eight years' serv
ice was air the reference he wanted.
"This Is a kind-hearted world, and
every man hatee to discharge an em
ployee, and in 99 cases out of 100 h«
Is willing to ease up the Embarrassment of the discharged man by giving
him a recommendation. Said the manager of one big department store;
'Asking for reference Is merely a matter of form here. It costs time, bother,
stamps and paper to look up references, and I cafi tell a worker when I have
seen one behind a counter for half an hour.’
“A stenographer and bookkeeper came as applicant to a local coal
office armed with recommendations galore. They were all from a neighbor
ing town. She worked like a house afire for two months and then left with
out notice. It later developed that her. father had Just bought a coal busi
ness at home, and she had only com® to the office to learn the business,
and the references were all furnished by reputable business men who fully
understood what she was about.
“If the position Is one where funds are to be bandied, a bond In a good
bonding company Is worth more than a stack of recommendations as high
as Pike's peak, while If the position is one where hustling will tell the story
you will be better able to Judge for yourself than you will by any fairy story
written by a man who wants to help the applicant secure a Job.
“A servant from Boston took passage on a ship for Baltimore, and one
day on the deck was showing her reference—which she called heh ‘charac
ter’—to the captain of the boat. A sudden gust of wind took It overboard.
To silence the lamentations of the girl, the captain gave her this substituted
while aboard my ship. Captain Ezra Jones?
no doubt, as good as the one she lost, and so also Is a recommendation
from a man who never saw the applicant as good as one from a man for
whom he has worked, for years. Long service Is a good recommendation,
but written words are of no value.
"Never turn a man down for want of references or hire him because of
them."
Here's to Major Rosencranzl Long may he wave! He owns an apart'
ment house In Evansville, and presents the father and mother of every baby
born In one of his apartments with a month’s rent free. He says: “Houses
are built to live In, and there should be babies in every home. While It Is
the rule in large cities to bar children of tender years from apartment
houses, the plan does not appeal to me. It Is contrary to the best teaching.
It Is not biblical. I have never known a woman who has raised babies to
the school age who was not happier for the fact For the reason that It
isn't right, morally or physically, to put a bar on babies, they are welcome
In my house. I love ’em!”

On Tuesday of this week we passed
the forty-fifth mile stone In life’s Jour
ney. We believe we have lived longer
In these 45 years than did our late
friend Methuselah In his 90p and
more. In this comparatively brief
period we have seen the world progress
more than it did In all the centuries of
the middle ages. We remember when
there was no railroad In this section
and we have seen the Iron way of com
merce gradually crawl from Marietta
to Knoxville thru these mountains and
have seen the great marble Industry
develop from nothing until now Geor
gia marble Is shining In some of the
most Imposing structures tn the great
cities of the country. We have seer,
the coming of the telephone, the elec
trie light, the phonograph and the dis
franchisement law.
In theee 45 ycara wo have seen boy
hood vanlsH and youth fade and middle
age come stealing on so gradually that
before we knew It the gray hairs and
the ltnes-of care reminded us of the In
evitable flight of time.
We have seen our youthful compan
ions scatter and disappear In the great
world or sink Into the tomb. We have
seen smiling Infants grow Into maturity
and become fathers and mothers. How
well we remember our first little baby
girl with her blue eyes and golden curls.
It seems only yesterday when we
taught her to walk. This morning she
came home from college, ;tall and etate-
ly, filled with sense and literature and
music and wearing a long skirt.
Our eldest son weighs more than his
daddy and thinks he la a heap smarter.
Soon the folks will be calling me old
man So-and-8o.
Such Is life. But as we go down the
hill on the farther side It will be a
comfort -to us' to know that we have
had our share of the sunshine and
have met the shadows like a man and
that wo have never heard our offspring
crying for bread that we did not have
a biscuit for them. Let us hope that
the coming years will be without tur
moil and that the delusions of youth
will be replaced by the knowledge of
later lire In such fashion that the world
may not be worse for our having lived
In It.
