5 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.

Government employees are all at ... Rea! estate owners, at least in New York, are deeply dejected over falling values and rising taxes. ... Employers everywhere are com plaining of the arrogance of orga.i- ited workers, of advancing wages and shorter hours. * * * • 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. • • • Don't forget that if you consider yourself badly off, there are ethers. HEY hotter.! THE VIHD"S fi-CT YOUR ONE WlMft ~&WX *1 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! Town 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." JOKERS GIVE BABY WINE; LITTLE GIRL NEARLY DIES PERTH AMBOY.
