Secretary Bryan's addresu w ill be* entitled "A Tribute From the West to the South.” 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. • » • The woolen industry is in sack cloth and ashes. • * • Our farmers ars up in arms. • * * Importers are in a panic over the administrative features of the Under wood tariff bill. * * Government employees are all at sea. • * • Real estate owners, at least in New York, are deeply dejected over falling value* and ris "***. « • • • Employer* ev»r / where are com plaining of the arrogance of o^ga.i- ized workers, of advancing wages and shorter hours. 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?.
