When over the fair name of friend or foe
The shadow of disgrace ahall fall Inatead
Of words of blame, of proof of eo and ao,
Let something good be said.

If aomathlng good be said.
No generoua heart may X* ,n, Y turn * ,,d !

But may awakan, atrong and glorified,

And to I charge ye, by the thorny crown,
And by the croae pn which the 8avlor

And by your own eoul'e hope for fair re*

Let aomathlng good bt aald.

More About the Trust
Problem. ;
Federal incorporation nml Fed
eral control for interstate corpo
rations are receiving nttention
now from many sources.
It is a plan that was proposed
n number of years nun, but until
now has for the most part been
classified aqioitft the idle, if not
dangerous, experiments of gov
ernment that, arc always being
suggested.
The recent trust decisions of
the supreme court have pretty
generally convinced the people
that the anti-trust laws now on
the statute books constitute no
solution of the trust problem.
A remedy must be looked for
elsewhere, and the Federal su
pervision proposal has therefore
>een renewed.
We have already noted the
statement of Judge E. H. Gary,
chief executive official of the
United State, Steel corporation wi(h the ; R0VwnmPn t slingshots
that his company would welcome; Tll „ •„ 4t:
before, is admirable, but its good
qualities must of course 'depend
on whether by its terms and its
execution it: is made a protection
for the people or a shield for
predatory combinations, .
A Groundless
Grouch.
James A. Patten, the market
plunger and frenzied financier
whose operations have incurred
the displeasure of Uncle Sam, re
cently sailed for Europe for a
little rest from the worries of
the market-place and the irrita
tions of Federal prosecution;
His worries' were still on' him
when he sailed, for he was pos
sessed of none of that fresh, an-,
ticipatory, going-away feeling
that the beginning of a voyage
inspires in ordinary mortals.
As he sat on the deck of the
steamer, the gloom sprites danced
about him and everything looked
blue in the direction of his own
native shore.
A reporter discovered him in
the midst of his subdued and ab
stracted condition and > requested
' few remarks on the state of
the Union.
The reporter expected the usual
brilliant observations to the ef
fect that “our marvelous nat
ural resources are as yet practi
cally untouched, and we will sur
prise not .only ourselves, hut all
the nations of the world, with
our growth in the next ten
years.”
Mr. Patten said nothing of the
kind, hut intimated that the state
of the Union was particularly
fierce, and went on to explain the
why of it more particularly, as
follows:
“It seems to, me that, the
United States government is
prosecuting any one who has any
thing over fifteen dr twenty
cents. About the only, person
Ivho'iSt safe theRo days is the limn
who is earning about $1’.”
The reporter pressed his in
quiries no further, for immediate
ly there flashed into his mind tho
diagnosis of the trouble—it was
a plain grouch that Mr. Pnttcu
was taking to Europe.
It is unprofitable to go into the
merits of the ease of Unole Sam
vs. Jimmie Patten, for who is yet
able to determine whether Jimmio
is the injured innocent and the
government tlicv/wslefnctnr or
whether the Federal laws have
been infracted and Jimmie the
malefactor.
However that may lie, it is cer
tain that Mr. Patten’s grouch is
grounded in error, for lie insists
that the government’s activity
against certain individuals end
organizations suspected of vio
lating the Sherman law against
the restraint of trade is solely
because these individuals and or
ganizations are wealthy,, that
wealth itaelf is something to lie
whacked; and whacked hard,
THE BUSINESS DOCTOR
tBy ROE FULKERSON
"First move you want to make I, to select some trademark and put It
Into the handa of a competent patent attorney and have It registered," said
the Business Doctor.
"This would he the first move before
putting any article of merchandise on
the market. This looks' to me like a
preparation that would prove popular,
and you are liable to be. very much flat
tered If, as we are told, Imitation Is the
sincerest form of flattery.
"Your name on It Is no protection to
you./ Many . a. man has taken up the
manufacture of some article of com
merce and branded It with his name,
only to find, .after his hard fight.for
popularity, that some business pirate Is
putting out the same thing under the
same name, and he Is helpless to stop It.
- Your nnmo Is Tcdd. and you can put
this preparation out as Todd’s Polish
nnd work for ton years creating a de
mand for It. and any other man by tha
name of Todd may come on the market
with Todd's Polish and reap the benefit
of your advertising, and you. have no
recourse at law. *
"Oheof the largest manufacturers of
; cocoa In the. world had this experience.
After It years of advertising, he found another company making nnd mar
keting cocoa under hla name, and It Is charged that It had hired a man of
exactly his name to act as president and-make their brand legal: but the
orlglnal'manufscturer had long ago adopted aa, a trademark a little Quaker
lady with a tea tray, on which eat a cup of cocoa, and all their nds now carry
the caution for consumers to look for this trademark and thus, avoid the
substitute. He would have been Infinitely better off today, however, If he
had' advertised hla product under the name ‘Quaker Lady’ than under his
own name.
“Today thecourte of Michigan are trying a big suit over a breakfast
food on the same proposition.
"The battle, very appropriately. Is located at Battle.Creek, and one man-
ufacturer of toasted corn flakes Is entering suit against another man of the
same name who has Just begun. to market toasted corn flakes In the same
town. The suit, however. Is based on the combination of all three words, as
t ie complainant fully understands that the defendant has a right'to use his
name on his goods.
“The assertion Is made that the use of the same name, the same word,
'toasted,' and the same town, Battle Creek, ■ constitutes an attempt to de
fraud the public and deprive the complainant of the' benefits of his adver
tising. : V
"While, without doubt, the efiuse Is’ Just, It Is an, open question whether
the law will support It, .
■'With a trademark, however, the law Is different, for numerous cases
are on record where the actual trademarked name was not Used, but simply
Iniltated,' and yet the courts have restrained the Imitator.
'"I-wanta’ biscuit Is perhaps the best Illustration. The.court held this to
be an Infringement on ’U-needa' and forbade Ita use. .
'•The total cost of a trademark Is alight—about 935—nnd It (rays the .big
gest dividends that I know of on the Investment.”

"The meek ahall Inherit the earth, but the hustler will have the estate

Cldorge Ade used to write advertisements, and In a speech before the
Cleveland Ad club he spoke of how hard It was to write an ad on a sub
ject of which you knew nothing. 1
"For Inslnnce,” he said, "1 ujed to write ads for a patent medicine
concern that was pushing a cure for tho tobacco habit. It was my task to
write about the cUrse of being addicted to the use of deadly nicotine, and
how easily the habit eould be overcome by using the remedy we were placing
on the market. • The stuff had a large sale, because when I was writing the
ads I was sitting smoking contentedly a cigarette or a pipe In a room thick
with tobacco smoke, and. of course, I knew what I was writing about and
could write forcibly on the subject.”
such supervision, even to the ex.
tent of the government’s fixing
the price of the corporation’s
products.
Commenting on Judge Gary’s
statement. The Outlook snys:
"It is clear from Mr. Gary’s
testimony that his experience as
the executive-head of one of the
greatest industrial organizations
in the world has convinced him
that a law merely punishing cor
porations and their managers for
practices tending to monopoly
is unjust alike to the public and
to the corporations—unjust to
the corporations because it does
S ot enable them to know what
ind of combination is legitimate,
and unjust to the public because
it does not, as a matter of fact,
irevent combinations that are il-
egitimate. After this it can no
longer be intelligently said that
there is anything chimerical or
impractical in the proposition
that the bureau of corporations
in the Federal government should
have its hands on the great indus
trial corporations and mnke regu
lations concerning the price, the
output and the quality of their
products. ’'
Frank B. Kellogg, the great
trust prosecutqr, insists that the
plan is a good one. He foresees
that by reason of the incorpo
ration feature of it the govern
ment could require such restric
tions and stipulations in the
charters of corporations as it sees
(It, to the extent even of having
the corporations reasonably com
pensate employees for injuries
received while in their employ
ment.
It is argued that such employ
ees’ compensation is a reform
that must come in this country
sooner or later, and that when it
does it should be under Federal
supervision.
The plan, as we have observed
I The government in this respect
.but reflects.tho sentiment of the
people—they have no objection
to wealth, for they are all trying
to get wealthy themselves, hut
they do object to wealth illegally
gained, to wealth piled up by
those who operated with ruthless
disregard of the rules of the
game and in whose conduct the
element of fair piny 1ms been
lacking. This is what displeases
the people, and rightly so.
If has been established in the
highest court in the land that
two of such combinations hnve
been lawbreakers of the worst
kind, and the present congres
sional investigations indicate
that there are still others.
The people gre not after
wealthy men because of their
wealth, but- are after such of
them as havo been guilty of
wrongdoing.
It is to he hoped-Mr. Patten’s
vacation will be of great benefit
to him and will bring him hack

in his 'own. country.

PROGRESS AND THE LAW OF INERTIA

to old ways and methods. Every In

every good thing has been condemned

and their business was simply to amuse

The word business was first used tn
the time of Chaucer to express con

word wns then spelled "busyness.”

given to men who devoted their lives
to conspicuous waste and conspicuous

CASABIANCA chaps who wait their turn outside. True virtue
always stands without, and vainly yearns and
toils, while wickedness in office shouts, and passes round the
spoils. One rule should govern our fair land—a rule that’s
bound to win; all office holders should be canned, to let some
new ones in. All people usefully employed at forge, in mill or
shop, should know that labor's null and void—man’s duty is
to yawp. The farmer should forsake his plow, the harness
man his straps; the blacksmith should get busy now, and look
around for snaps. Why should the carpenter perform, when
we have homes enough; why should producers round us swarm,
when statesmen are the stuff! Why should we put up ice or
hay, or deal in clothes or' meat, when politicians point the way
that leads to Easy-st.f” There came a burst of thunder sound;

In all the prominent cities there ore

Advertising Is stating who you are,
where you are. and what you have to
offer the world In the way of commod
ity or service. , -
And the only man who should not
advertise Is the one who has nothing to
offer, nnd he Is a dead one—whether he
knows It or not.
Yes, Terese, It Is a fact. If we look
back thru history we will find that
every good nnd beautiful thing has at
one time or another been under the
ben. and assailed asoan evil.
And the argument eeems to be this.
If you think a thing Is right, never mind
what the many say. stick to It.
Work for It, live for It, die for It—
this way Immortality lies!

New Use for Safety Pins,
From The Maysvllle New*.
Wo receive letters sometimes con
tainlng clippings pinned together. Such
letters are almost as dangerous as "an
Infernal machine." It )s cruel tn pin
things together and mall the same in
a letter. The postman and others who
have to handle that letter may receive
a prick resulting In blood poison. This
Is not a vain Imagination for the press
reports hundreds of cases where a pin
prick resulted fatally. If you must us

OBJECTS TO SALOONS WEST
OF MITCHELL-ST. VIADUCT
Editor The Georgian:
As my name has been published ns
one who asked the police committee of
council not to reissue licenses for the
three saloons west of the Mltchell-st.
viaduct. I ask permission to give our
reasons for our request.
The saloons, to whh-h the west aid
of Atlanta Is now objecting, arc right
at the entrance of the viaduct, which
Is the only possible means by which
we can reach the city. Two of the-
are negro saloons and one Is a whit
saloon. The two negro saloons are hl
the opposite corners of Elliott and
Mltchell-sts. and the white saloon
at 10S West Mitchell: These saloons
all sell a beer which intoxicates: It is
Impossible for us to go or come from
town without coming In contact with
the crowd of drinking negroes who
usually hang around these places. These
saloons may be no . worse than other
negro saloons, but ovbry one knows that
with such places on each corner and a
negro pool room with one and a negrn
restaurant back of the other, there Is at
times quite a crowd.'
This territory la not a negro settle
ment, for tho these saloons are on El
llott-st., the negro reatauraht keeper la
the only negrq who lives on that, street
from 'Mltcfielt to Walker s»5(h. nml
there are no negroes living for two
blocks on the north aide of Elllott-st.
Why should we be subjected to hav
ing to pass these low dives whenev
we go to town, after being compelled
to take the street rather than pass the
crowd on the sidewalk?
_There Is not a man on the commute
or a saloon keeper who would submit t
being bottled up as we of the west side
are by bottled up by these saloonli.
The objection made by Block’s candy
factory employees ought to have sat
isfied the committee. There were nt
least twenty ladles and about the same
number of men from that institution
objecting to the saloons because they
were compelled to elboW their way
thru the half-drunken negroes. They
did not object ’to saloons In general,
but they did object to having them
located where they Interfere with saf> -
ly. health and 'happiness. These av
the very terms by which we object and
we have determined qo longer to suffer
from this nuisance. Unless we get
relief at the hands of the city we will
carry our plea to the courts. We are a
unit as to our plans nnd have fully de.
termlned that we will no longer submit
to this Imposition. There Is mu an
other such condition In the whale city
and our lives are simply made miser
able by being exposed to constant
danger with no adequate protection.
Medlaon-eve. la the proper and lexi
cal limit for the beer lone for Mitchell-
at. I append a copy of the action of
the Temple Baptist church. I am net a
member of this body, but I Indorsi
every word of their action.

(Copy.)
To the Police Committee, City of At
lanta. Ga.:
The Temple Baptist church, thru Its
pastor, Dr. J. M. Brittain, earnestly pe
titions you to refuse the applications
for renewal of licenses for the three
saloons west of the Mltchell-st. viaduct.
These saloons are located on the north
west end southwest corners of Elliott
and Mltchell-sts. end at 106 West
Mitchell.
These ealooni have become a menace
to our health and Interfere with our
comfort and happiness.
The viaduct Is the only way In which
we can reach the dtv and It ts often
blocked by drinking negroes who hant
about these saloons.
The drink sold at these aatoom
causes drunkenness.
The saloon on the northwest corner
Is a negro saloon, operated by a white
man. Often It Is necessary to get off
the sidewalk to avoid the crowd. At
one time rerently the sidewalk was
filthy for several hours, owing to the
vomiting of a drunken negro. The
•tench and sight thereof was slckenlni
In the extreme.
The aatoon on the southwest corner
Is also a negro saloon, operated by ■
white man. From this saloon a negro
employee Is sent out at almost every
hour of the day and late Into the nlgm
with cans of beer which he delivers to
private houses. After the people drlns
up this beer thus delivered their bois
terous conduct Is both disturbing
ghnoylng.
The saloon at 109 West Mltchell-st
has been thrust upon us after Elllott-
st. was made the saloon limit and has
no right to exist.
We have no adequate police protec
tlon and our llvee are made mlseraoi
because of these saloons. We therefore
petition you to refuse to grant further
license for them. ....
Dorse bv order of the church, this lt-h
day of June. 1911.
