l'HE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS: TUESDAY, JUNE 20, 1911.

Well! Well!! Well
And has it come to this? Are the NAPO
LEONS and the CAESARS of REPRESENTA
TIVE GOVERNMENT relapsing tranquilly into a
COMPROMISE?
Only a short time ago MAYOR WINN'S ef
forts to have the membership of BOARDS reduced
hardly raised a squabble. The measure was prompt
ly bcpommcled into a pulp by the same men whose
present ready enthusiasm in the diminishing idea
allows that they are holding on to the old SYSTEM
by their eye-teeth.
The resolution introduced and adopted for
CHARTER REVISION has only one meaning. It
conclusively demonstrates that COUNCIL has lost
faith in ATLANTA’S ALDERMANIO DESTINY.
Tho hopes of those who oppose COMMISSION
GOVERNMENT have touched ground soon they
will dash themselves in pieces.
Tho soreness of spirit, the anomalous and
amusing circumstances which beleaguer them hold
a deep and significant lesson.
Isn’t tho “spontaneous” glow of ardor that
now halos tho REDUCTION RESOLUTION a bit
harsh and premeditated?
Kindly and tenderly wo say:
Lei us contemplate the coming chic upheaval in the light
of the broad ATLANTA SPIRIT, and emerge from it, as
we haoc from all others, in safety and honor.
Let us put WARDS out of sight; let us cease to care a
pinch of snuff for the election of A; let us be philosophically
indifferent whether B comes out, or C RUNS, or *D an
nounces. Let us look beyond and above the thin smoke of
this petty conflict to the great future that spreads itself before
us; let us think on b °f securing a beneficent GOVERNMENT
under which to lice and laugh and loot. ‘Ghat’s the high
hope of all good men.
Our ideal of ATLANTA, as a beauti
ful nymph with a chaplet of rose-blossoms
wreathing her bright brow and a modest
chiffon tunic, must not be turned into a stout
wench with bare arms, her gown tucked up,
and slipshod. ‘
Be convinced that COMMISSION GOVERN
MENT is no toy of tho hobby-monger; it is no con 7
ceit of eccentricity; it is no wide-wandering dream
of tho callow political economist.
It is a large and liberal policy which THINKS
into tho meaning of public affairs, anij enters into
sympathy with all minds; it emancipates man from
political passion and puts into his will the fine in
stinct of wisdom, which makes him tolerant as well
as earnest; which connects his thoughts with jus
tice and progress; which expands his intellect only
to enrich his conscience; which DOUBLES HIS
POWER TO ACCOMPLISH BY GIVING IT
RIGHT DIRECTION, and purifies his nature from
VANITY and SELF-WILL, to bind him, in tho no
ble bonds of a COMMONSENSE, to the interests
and advancement of a COMMON HUMANITY.

Commercial League Organizes;
First Games Played July 1st
At a meeting of the managers of the
Commercial league Monday night that
circuit was fully organised for the
coming season.
Six teams obtained franchise In the
league. They are Rich Bros., Cham-
berlln-Johnson-DuBose Co., J. M. High
Co, DavIson-Paxon-Stokes' Co, Keely
Co. and Otis Elevator Co. '

ser, president; P. H. Duhme, vice pres

July 1 and from that date thru July 22

the season the double-headers will be

resented In the league. Shelley Ivey, of
the College Co-op, has already offered
a pennant to tho winning club.
