Everybody Is Dissatisfied Now,
But Then, There’s a
Reason.
By B. C. FORBES
Discontent, ferments, class clashes
have invariably attended great for
ward movements. Reforms are
born of complacency, of meek resig
nation, of sodden dournees. They
are the fruit of well directed strifs,
struggle and achievement, of confi
dence in the justice of a cause, of
irrepressible determination to assert
manhood, of fa'th in thst eternal
justice which suffuses the scheme
of things.
• • •
Only the dead are still, it has been
remarked. The American people, an
this reasoning, are very much alive,
for stillness was never more oonsoio-
uous by its absence than it is to-day.
• * •
Let not employees imagine, h aw -
ever, that they alone are dissatis
fied; that they alone are finding life
not carpeted with roses, that they
alone want chants.
• • •
Do you know any one class that is
not crying out?
• • •
Let us glance around us.
• * •
Take politics first. The "Old Guard”
have been routed and the younger
race of politicians find the people
clamoring for a greater share of pow
er and ins'atmg that intrenched
"bosses" be shorn of their privileges.
Moreover, the professional finds hs no
longer occupies a pedestal. He is no
longer looked upon with reverence.
A man's credit does not now rise one
hundred per cent if he be seen walk
ing down Fifth Avenue with Chaun-
cey M. Depew or his Senatorial suc
cessors. The politicians have lost
their halos and the veterans regard
the times as out of joint. Upstart leg
islators, too, find they nave a hard
road to walk and are not exuberantly
happy. . . .
What of the wealthy? For yeara
they were looked up to, honored and
held in awe. The Government let
them act as fancy aur-erted, the
courts curbed not their bueineee op -
eratione, tne tax gatherer did not
trouble them. All that has been
changed. The Government hae
probed High Finanoe and Big lousi
ness, few multi- millionaires have es
caped beinn dragged before legal or
legislative tribunals, and now the
Federal tax collector it to visit them
clothed with -ower to filch a goodly
percentage of their incomes. The
cost of living too, has fallen heavily
upon those dependent upon income
from permanent investments, for the
returns on securities purchased
years ago are not commensurate with
current prices of commodities. And
these are only a few of the troubles
that have befallen the poor wealthy
class in these days of applied dem
ocracy.
• • •
Railroads, the greatest employers of
labor and the largest spenders in the
country, are almost reedy to throw
up thoir hands in despair, so fait and
furioualy are the'r woe* multiplying.
More than one railroad manager it
ready to hand over the iob of run
ning the railroads to the Government.
...
Our greatest manufacturing indut-
try is steel. Here also lamentations
are loud. Mr. Schwab now denies that
he said he would quit if the tariff
were cut. but that is exactly how ateel
men have been talking. They have
had v'siont of a foreign invasion, of
an armada ladon with steel rail*,
beams, ehapes and machinery. Tha
world, they wail, is not going well
with them, especially aa the public
are insisting upon the abolition of
seven-day working week*, long daily
hours and liberal compensation in
ease of injury.

Street Committee Joins in Fight
for $30,000 Appropriation
to Regrade Street.
Council’s Streets Committee has
joined in the flght for a $30,000 ap
propriation for the Whitehall Street
regrading. The County Commission
ers have agreed to do the work with
convicts and the property owners
have subscribed $17,000 toward it. II
Council’s Finance Committee can be
persuaded to give $30,000 the im
provement will be assured; and
leaders in the movement declare there I
is no doubt the Finance Committee
will respond.
The Streets Committee. Friday, by a
vote of eight to one, approved the
plan of regrading from a point be
tween Mitchell Street and Trinity
Avenue to Forsyth Street, presented
by Chief of Construction Clayton.
Several more conservative regrading
plans were submitted but only Coun
cilman Jesse M. Wood opposed the
original program. Councilman Wood
urged that final action be delayed
until all the property owners agreed
on the imorovement to be made.
A number of enthusiastic boosters
appeared before the committee, among
them being Robert R. Otis, George H.
Boynton, J. Carroll Payne, M. L.
Thrower. R. A. Broyles. V. H Kreig-
shaber, L. C. Green. Walker Dunson,
C. E. Caverly, Charles H. Black, J.
R. Smith and others. They declared
that the work must be begun by Oc
tober 1, as the convict? iiad been
promised and a temporary delay
might mean m postponement of many
years.
The principal opposition to the im
provement was expressed by Judge
John T. Pendleton, .iwner of the Cap
ital City Laundry building, and At
torneys E. C. Meyer and L. Z Ros
ser Judge Pendleton said the re
grading would greatly damage his
and adjoining property. Attorney
Meyer pointed out that with the im
provement all the intersecting streets
must be regraded. Attorney Rosser
said a number of persons would be
damaged unnecessarily.
Answers to these arguments were
that the increase in property values
would far offset kny damage?.

noon of the fatal day.
Monteen Stover said she did not
know' Mary Phagan, and probably had
never seen her. She commended
Frank as being popular with his em
ployees, and kind.
Another development within the
last 24 hours has been the elimina
tion of another clew. The "woman in
red.’’ a mysterious figure reported to
have been seen with Mary Phagan at
the pencil factory, has been located.
She is Mrs. Nancy Caldwell, of 10
Gray Street, an acquaintance of the
dead girl. Examination revealed the
fact, however, that she had not been
with Mary Phagan in a year. The
rumor of her association with the
Phagan girl on the afternoon of the
killing started in the mistaken state
ment of a girl ai Mapleton.
Developed also evidence from a
young woman whose name will not be
revealed that the girl probably came
to her death ift the basement of the
factory, and not in the upstairs lathe
room. The following affidavit, sub
scribed to by a young woman who
passed the factory about 4:3ft o'clock
Saturday afternoon, April 26, is in the
