THE ATLANTA liEUKTJIAN AND NEWS, SATURDAY, MAY 10. 1013.
COLLEGE PARK
Everybody Is Dissatisfied Now,
P •' Then, There's a
Reason.
B B. C. FORBES.
Discontent, ferments, elate clashes
have invariably attended great for-
v ard movements. Reforms are n »t
born of complaeency, of meek reeig-
t nation, of sodden dourneet. They
are the fruit of well directed strife,
struggle and achievement, of confi
dence in the justice of a cause, of
irrepressible determination to assert
manhood, of fa'th in that eternal
justice which suffuses the scheme
of things.
* * * *
Only the dead are still, it has be\n
remarked. The American people, on
this reasoning, are very much alive,
for stillness was never more conaoic-
uous by its absence than it is to-day,
• * *
Let not emoloyees imagine, how-
•ver, that they alone are dissatis-
ied; that they alone are finding life
not carpeted with roses, that they
alone want changes.
* * *
Do you know any one class that is
not crying out?
• * *
Let us glanoe 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 insisting that intrenched
“bosses” be shorn of their privileges.
Moreover, the professional finds he no
longer occupies a pedestal. He is no
longer looked upon with reverence.
A man's eredit does not now rise one
hundred per oent if he be seen walk
ing down Fifth Avenue with Chaun-
cey M. Depew or his Senatorial sue-
ceseore. The politicians have lost
their halos and the veterans ragard
the times as out of ioint. Upstart leg
islators, too, find they nave a hard
"road to walk and are not exuberantly
happy.
...
Wh»t of th. wealth y ? For year*
they wor* looked up to. Honored and
hold in awe. The Government let
th*m aot a, fancy supnested, the
eourt, curbed not the«r business op-
, orations, tho tax gatherer did not
trouble them. All that has boon
changed. Tho Government hoe
prebed High Finance and Big Busi
ness, few multi-millionaires have es
caped beina draaoed before legal or
legislative tribunals, and now the
Federal tax collector is to visit them
slothed with -ower to filch a goodly
percentage of their inoomes. The
coat of livme. too, has fallen heavily
upon those dependent upon income
from permanent investments, for the
returns on securities purchased
years ago are not commensurate with
ourrent prioes of commodities. And
these are only a few of the troubles
that have befallen thg 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 ready to throw
up their hands in despair, so fast and
furiously are the'r woes multiplying.
More than one railroad manager is
ready to hand over the job of run
ning the railroads to the Government.
Our greatest manufacturing indus
try is steel. Here also lamentations
ere 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 Visions of a foreign invasion, of
an armada laden with steel rails,
v .d beams, shapes and machinery. Th*
T '» world, they wall, ia not going well
with them, especially as the publio
are inaiating upon the abolition of
seven-day working weeks, long dally
hours and liberal compensation in
oase of injury.

In short, every class is kicking vig
orously, each, as it thinks, with very
special reason. Nowhere is life flow
ing along like a song.
Employees, it will be seen, have not
a monopoly of affliction. Trouble ap
parently is widely distributed.

Out Of it all, unless reason be thrown
to the winds good will come. There 's
need for patience and forbearance, for
moderation and toleration, for com-
monsense and not anger, for states
manship and not demagoguery, for
faith in the supremacy of law rather
than in the efficacy of disorder.

His 18,535 Votes Easily Polled by
Any Determined Boy or
Girl in Race.
Frank Ison, of College Park, has
the best start In The Georgian and
American’s contest for the pony out
fits. He had 18,585 votes yesterday.
Probably he has many more to-day.
Fannie Cook. 488 Pulliam Street,
has 6,600, and Florence Greenoe, 387
Pulliam Street, has 6,045—there's a
i lose race in District No. 4.
In District No. 1 are George Rosser,
21 Eaat Sixteenth Street, with 5,245
votes, and Miss Margaret Lewis, 26
-Baltimore Block, with 4,500 votes—
another close race.
Then there is a considerable num
ber with 2,000 and 3.000 votes.
All this may seem discouraging to
the boy or girl who ha‘* simply the
original, which goes with the nomi
nation. It should not be, however.
Look at Frank Ison’s lead, for in
stance. He had 18,535 votes. Take
off 1,000 for the nomination. That
leaves 17,535. Five yearly subscrip
tions to The Georgian and American
would yield 17,500. The 35 more
which make up the total may repre
sent the coupons clipped from the
daily issues of the paper.
You can get five yearly subscrip
tions to The Georgian and American
in no time at all, can't you? Then
you will have done as well as* Frank
Ison. The only difference is that
he. very wisely, has made a flying
start.
We predicted yesterday that the
votes polled by the contestants will
leap up by thousands at a clip. Watch
and see if they cto not. The name?
of contestants, and their standing,
will be published frequently that they
may know hdw they and their rivals
are getting along.
Meanwhile, the ponies are await
ing their new little masters and mis-
iresses.
They are exercising and frisking
about al the stock yards. Moat of
them have been out in pastures all
winter and still have their winter
coats. The shaggy hair will disappear
these warm spring day» and soon they
will be sleek and shiny.
Everything points to an interest
ing and closely-contested race for
the pony outfits.
Here's hoping you win!

Friedmann ’* Patients
Bound by Common Tie.
”8ix of Dr. Friedmann’s tubercular
patients are convalescing in Bellevue
Hospital,’ said a physician just back
from a visit to New York. ‘The
fact that they have been treated with
the serum has naturally caused a
bond of sympathy among them, and
they are generally to be seen togeth
er, strolling in their bathrobes along
the sunny 'Walks in the hospital
quadrangle. Other inmates of the
institution who lack the distinction
of contact with the syringe of th£
Berlin physician are inclined to in
terpret their alliance as aloofness,
and the sextet have come to be dub
bed the ‘guinea pigs.’ ”
Wanted to Know
His Other Business.
A New Yorker who is stopping at
one of the Atlanta hotels, tells this
one:
A member of the Stock Exchange
well known for his scorn of conven
tion pulled the bell rope of a Long
Island Railroad train the other even
ing because, as he said, he was ‘tir
ed of being a perpendicular sardine’’
and he w r as determined either to have
a seat or get out. He was arrest
ed. When the case came up in
court the railroad’s lawyer said in
sinuatingly:
“Are you a drinking man, Mr.
Blank?”
“That’s my business,” said the bro
ker with dignity.
“Right,” said the lawyer* “Now
tell the court; Mr. Blank, if you have
any other business.”
Rear Seats Are
In Demand.
“One thing X can’t get used' to,”
said the ticket seller at a downtown
moving picture house, “is the de
mand for rear seats. All my life I
have been under the impression that
folks who went to the theater want
ed to get as near the stage as possi
ble, but in the moving picture busi
ness the reverse seems true. People
want to get far back so they can
get a better focus on the pictures.
In this house the back seats fill up
long before the front ones do. I
got a jolt the other day, however. A
fellow came to the window and said,
“ ’Can you give me a seat in the
first row? I'm hard of hearing.’
. “I told him we didn’t sell reserved
seats—that he would have to take
his chances with the rest. Anyhow,
I assured him, the pictures were be
ing run and it didn’t really make
any difference if he was bard of
hearing."
