CAPITAL MUST
L
Time Here for Employers to Take
Heed of Voters They
Are Making.
By B. C. FORBES.
"All progress Is forced by the mob."
• * •
That was the statement snarled at
me by a workman.
• • •
"The rich never budge until they
are forced to," he added. "Universi
ties don't advocate reforms until the
people have clamored for them and
are far on the road to getting them."
* * •
These blunt assertions are worth
thinking over by the capitalistic
classes m America, especially by
those who are striving might and
main to stem the tide of progress
toward applied democracy. The
"mob” sooner or later has its way.
The more it is crushed, the longer
it is unfairly treated, the more radi
cal its revenge—recall the French
Revolution, the overthrow of various
dynasties in modem times, the social
revolution now going on in Britain.
* * •
Reactionaries in this country should
not shut their eyes to the handwrit
ing on the wall. The farther the
scale of justice is depressed on one
side the greater its rebound.
* * *
Among those who specially need to
consider their ways and readjust their
attitude are:
Employers who pay starvation
wages.
Owners of sweatshops.
Manufacturer* who exploit child
labor.
Corporations who, through monop
oly, patents or other means, rob the
public.
Financiers who rake in millions
from railroad and other corporations
which they control.
Directors who use their office to
cheat other security holders through
speculation in the shares of their
companies.
Bankers who are foolishly trying
to stop the Federal Government
from controlling the nation’s cur-1

they please.
The “mob” are bent upon reforms
touching all these.
* * *
Many* responsible financier* are
beginning to see straight. Others
are still blind. Recent events have
opened a few eyes. The once-arro-
gant house of Morgan & Co. has been
brought to its knees over the New
Haven scandal. The once-overbear
ing Standard Oil gdng has been
brought to it* senses and is now
spending sleepless night* ofter its sins
—because found out. The latest
wreckers of railroads have had an
uncomfortable time. Politicians of
the “stand-pat” kind have been put
to rout. Corporation managers who
u*ed to trample upon their workmen
and upon the public have learned a
lesson, although many of them are
still obdurate.
« * •
The vote of John D. Rockefeller,
J. P. Morgan, George F. Baker, or
Jaeoff Schlff counts for no more than
the vote of the workman with whom
I talked. And there are more work
men than there are Rockefellers,
Morgans, Bakers and Schlffs
* * •
Give the “mob” a square deal.
Grant them reasonable concessions
VOLUNTARILY. Do not wait until
they FORCE fair play, for when they
do they are apt to take revenge for
what they were unjustly deprived of.
♦ • •
Not long ago an interview with a
milk-wagon driver was printed in this
column. In it he peladed for more
humane treatment. I have since been
in touch with the corporation em
ploying him, and hope to be able to
chronicle one gratifying case of con
cessions being granted voluntarily.
The trouble with many companies is
that they do not THINK enough
about the kind of voter# they are
making of their men.

Is it not time for pmployprs to

arc making of their men:

NEW YORK, Sept. 16.—Trading at
the opening of the cotton market to
day wan brTak ana first prices were at a
net advance of 7 to 14 points from Sat
urday’s closing quotations Those work
ing for an advance were encouraged oy
the continuous rains in Texas, which It
Is believed have oeaten out a lot of cot
ton and lowered the grade.
Liverpool shocked the leeilngs of the
bear contingent d> meeting the full ad
vance due before the local market
opened, with spots equally as blah.
This, coupled with the continuous rains
In Texas, promoted sufficient buying
power on the call, which was attributed
mainly to Wall street and covering by
shorts, to broaden the eany advance 5 to
12 joints rrom the opening Gator fu
tures were Irregular, and fell within 3 to
8 points of the previous close, but the
market showed rallying power on the
decline, and by noon prices nad recov
ered the early depression and showed
slgne of advancing still further, owing to
tho heavy buying oy strong Interests.
Offerings were rather scarce, except
scattered profit-taking

DRY GOODS PRICES FIRM;
QUICK SHIPMENTS WANTED
Marshall Field & Co. in their weekly
review of the dry goods trade say:
Demand for dry goods for immediate
distribution is strong. Shipments for
the week show a gain over those of the
same period a year ago, and saies by
our traveling representatives surpass
those of any corresponding w’eek for
a number of years.
A general advance .n the prices of
domestics has been announced and the
market continues firm, s with an upward
tendency, and there is good call for this
merchandise at the higher prices. There
also has been a strengthening of prices
on print cloths and on some lines of
ginghams.
Salesmen have gone out during the
week to book orders for spring busi
ness on ginghams, knit underwear,
rnuslin underwear, gloves, hosiery and
linens.
Hosiery can not. be imported in the
-ante quantities and qualities as were
possib’e two years ago on account of
the increased cost of materials and
labor In Europe.
The advance in the cost of material
and labor entering into kid gloves for
spring will offset any reduction that
has yet been contemplated in tariff
schedules. Still further increase is
probable in the cost of skins, as an im
portant portion of the medium qualities
of skins come from countries in Europe
where the flocks have been devastated
by the Bulgarian war,

Enthusiasm IsRunningHigh
In Pedalmobile Contest
(&((
“Gee, ain’t it a peach! Couldn’t I speed some if T had one of
them! How many are you going to give away, Mister?” These
are some of the remarks to be heard around The Georgian Office
where the big red “Georgian Flyer” is on exhibition—the one
just like The Hearst’s Sunday American and Atlanta Georgian
will give to each boy and girl who secures forty new subscrip
tions to the paper before October 1.
There are many earnest workers and the subscriptions are
coming fast. It would only be a wild guess now’ to say who will
win the first fifteen cars and receive the Charter Membership
Certificates to the Atlanta Pedal mobile Racing Club. These Cer
tificates will entitle the holder to compete in any or all races and
events to be held in the near future.
Pedalmobile Clubs are to be found in many of the large
cities, having been promoted by some of the largest and best
newspapers in the country. This sort of sport may be new in At
lanta, but in many particulars the Pedalmobile races are to the
children what the Auto races are to the grown-ups. In fact, they
are handled a good deal on the same order and are interesting
to the parents as well as the children.
These little machines are not to be confined to pleasure
alone, but can be put to good use in many different ways. In
some cities carrier boys wdio have won Pedalmobiles may be seen
distributing their papers in them. All these cars are well-made
and serviceable and will surely gladden the heart of any boy or
girl who is fortunate enough to w r irt one.
These cars are now on exhibition in the window of O. C.
Polk Dry Goods Store, 29 South Gordon Street; South Pryor Tee
Cream Parlor, 353 South Pryor Street, and Imperial Tire and
Tube Company, 349 Peachtree Street. While attending the Odd-
and-Ends Sale at Polk’s Dry Goods Company, be sure to notice
the “Georgian Flyer” in the window.
OUTSIDE WORKERS.
A number of hoys and gii’ls outside of the city of Atlanta
have sent in their application blanks and are now working earn
estly to obtain one of the handsome little ears. The Pedalmobile
man will he glad to send subscription blanks to more honest hust

Just fill out the application blank below and full particu
lars will be mailed you at once.
