^ ’ — r — THE ATLANTA UEUm+lAJN AM) 1NEW». SAN FRANCISCO 12-YEAR FifiHT FOR WATER SUPPLY HEARS! PAPERS ELABORATE PLANS LAID TO MAKE XMAS FUND-GIVING ATTRACTIVE WASHINGTON, Dec. 8. — For twelve years, just so long as the city of San Francisco has sought to ac quire Hetch-Hetchy Valley as a site for a reservoir for its water supply, just so long has William Randolph Hearst fought with all the power of h $ great papers to get this pure wa ter supply for the hundreds of thou- garnih of inhabitants of that city, ana to his campaign more than to any other one thing is due the victory just won. \ In season and out of season the Hearst papers, from Boston to At lanta. from New York to San Fran cisco, have urged editorially that Con gress give the people of San Francis 'o the right to convert the mosquito- ridden, inaccessible vallej/ of Hetch- Hetchy into a reservoir for the im pounding of the pure mountain streams, to safeguard the health not 0I1 f the citizens of the city, but of the millions who pass through it an nually on their way to other destina tions. The closing weeks of the campaign were marked by two great achieve ments carried out under the direct personal orders and supervision of Mr. Hearst, which struck tremen dous blows in behalf of the project and which illustrate better than any thing ever done before in any coun try of the world just what is meant by newspaper enterprise. Special Edition of Paper Aids. These were the special Hetch- Hetchy edition of The San Francisco Examiner, published in Washington last Tuesday, and the preparation of a gr* at petition from the citizens of San FYanciseo and the residents ot the contiguous territory appealing to Congress to grant the plea. Few persons outside the newspaper profession realize just what it cost in money, energy and talent to prepare end publish the special Hetch-Hetchy edition of The Examiner, which pre sented to the members of the Senate In graphic form the facts in the argu ment of San Francisco and the falsi ties in the argument of the water power interests which oppose the grant. When Mr. Hearst issued orders for the preparation of the special edition, he indicated that no expense should be spared to make it the most impressive publication that possibly could be compiled. Mr Edward L. Hamilton, veteran of the San Francisco office, was rushed East with a special staff of aides, every one of whom was thor oughly conversant with the situation. Artists and men skilled In preparing "copy” and making up newspapers were hurried to Washington frorr. New 7 York. The entire Washingt )n bureau of the Hearst service, num bering about 25 men, were placed at Hamilton’s disposal. The work of preparing the edition, including writ ing the articles, gathering the inter views, making sketches and cuts and printing the edition was accomplished in about three days. On Tuesday morning, four days be fore the date set for a vote on the bill, every member Qf the Senate found on his desk in his office a copy of this special edition, on the first oage of ' iich appeared a sufficient reason for its being, and a reproduction of a notice issued by the company which now supplies San Francisco with wa- ter warning the people to conserve every drop, as "the w^ater consump tion now exceeds the dependable sup ply available for distribution.” Pleas by Noted Persons. Accompanying this warning, on the same page, were statements by Vice President Marshall. Secretary of State Bryan, Secretary' of the Inte rior Lane and Secretary of Agricul ture Houston, urging that San Fran- isco’s appeal be not heard in vain The remaining fifteen pages of the •special edition were filled with simi lar statements by noted engineers, State and city officials of California, members of Congress and other men and women high in public life, all to the same effect. Mr. Hearst’s San Francisco Ex- GASH GROCERY CO. 118-120 WHITEHALL ST. No. 10 Snowdrift aminer, which has been, of course, a devoted advocate of the Hetch-Hetchy reservoir site for many years, lent a great stimulus to the fight for the adoption of the Hetch-Hetchy bill in the preparation of the petition above referred to. In repeated editorials The Exam iner asked its readers to write per sonally to members of the Senate, urging upon them the imperative ne cessity of a water supply for San Francisco and its neighborhood, and requiring them to vote for the Hetch- Hetchy bill. As a result of this appeal, thou sands of letters were sent to Wash ington. among them letters from the most influential citizens and organi zations In the State. As a final argument to lay before the Senate The Examiner had print ed and circulated throughout San Francisco and all the territory tribu tary to the metropolis a petition to the Senate of the United States call ing for its favorable vote upon the bill giving San Francisco the only available water supply adequate to Its present and future needs. Signatures Pour in. The petition was first circulated on Saturday, November 22. Citizens everywhere seized the opportunity to sign it with enthusiasm. A minia ture petition was printed each day in The Examiner. Readers were asked to sign this and return by mail. Every mail following the first pub lication 6f this petition brought hun dreds of signatures. Wednesday. November 26. was the last day upon which the petition was at the disposal of citizens. Although the five days during which the peti tion was in circulation included two holidays. Sunday and Jupipero Serra. Day. a state holiday, more than 15,000 signatures were affixed. This petition, signed by the Gov ernor of the State and the Mayor of San Francisco, was brought to Wash ington in charge of Mayor Rolph, of San Francisco, and was laid before the Senate. The mass of signatures affixed to the petition indicates how earnestly the people of California desire this water supply for San Francisco, for which that city has been fighting for twelve years. Every class of citizen 'was repre sented among the names on the peti tion. Entire communities remote from San Francisco, which rely upon the metropolis for their welfare and de velopment, signed the petition en masse. Civic Organizations in Plea. Clubs, social and improvement or ganizations were represented on the petition in a body, through the names of their presidents and secretaries. The people of San Francisco and the communities tributary to it real ized in The Examiner petition an opportunity to make a direct and per sonal appeal to the Senate for the water supply of which San Francisco stands so greatly In need. A great number of names were signed to the petition in Oakland and the cities across the bay from San Francisco, thus refuting claims late ly made by Senator Works, in the name of the people of Oakland, that that city was not fully protected by Hetch-Hetchy bill. Signatures of a great many mem bers of the Sierra Club were found on the petition as a protest against the opposition of a section of the club to the reservoir site in the Hetch-Hetchy Valley. In addition to signing the petition, many members of the Sierra Club wrote letters to The Examiner vigorously denouncing the theory that the formation of a lake in the Valley would mar its beauty and make it less attractive to nature lovers.

It might be a pretty good thing to begin the week with a little reminder of the Empty Stocking Fund of The Georgian and Sunday American, and of what it means. For a whole week now you have heard every day about the ambitious plans arranged to make it attractive to give. You have heard of the tango party that will be held at the Wine- coff Hotel after the theater Monday night. You have heard of the all- star matinee Friday. You have heard of the dolls to be dressed. You have heard these things until you are about to fall into the danger of forgetting what it is all about. What do you think of a word just now of the spirit behind it all? Suppose we talk to-day of little Johnny Merritt, who never dreamed of a tango party, and whose theatri cal experience has been limited to a wistful inspection of the bright-col ored lithographs . that stand on the outside of all moving picture shows, and who thinks of Santa Claus only to feel a little dull ache in his heart, an ache that has a whole lot of envy in it because he hears the other boys and girls talk happily of the Christ mas that will be here soon. Dreads Day Others Welcome. Johnny can’t conceive of Christmas and happiness together. Christinas, he thinks, will be a day like last Sun day—a cold, wet, gray day. with no fire inside the house, and no sun out side, a day made miserable by a lingering hunger for goodies to eat, and by his child whimper for some thing that he wants, without know ing what it is. a ,, , A stocking with just the toe full of candy and a single orangewould sat isfy that hunger. A horn or a wood en gun, or—oh, no, it could never be —a cowboy suit, would quiet that pitiful whimper. And a whole pair of shoes and warm stockings probably would have the effect of brightening the whole winter for him. That’s a moral effect, you know, because contentment makes a good boy, where discontentment would make even a 6-year-old person surly and cross, and a fruitful field for the germ of bitterness. Johnny, ragged little fellow cant arouse much cheerfulness by his thoughts of Christmas But the Christmas Editor is here to tell you that is if you won’t tell Johnny—thai the little boy is in for a great sur-. prise. Atlanta People Responding.

And, as this story has told you once before, a number of arrangements have been made so that it will be attractive to give. There is the tango party, now, for instance. It will be a glorious affair. It will be epoch-m<iking, because, if all the plans work out, Atlanta will see something of an after-theater party that ought to become an institution. There is too little of bright, enjoy - able, novel evening’s entertainment in this great city, outside the show- houses. And the next attractive feature— the all-star matinee Friday. The money that you pay to hear and see Robert Edeson, and Wilton Lackaye, and Max Figman, and Rose Goghlan, and of the vaudeville star, Yvette, from the Forsyth, and others—oh, there will be others, without doubt— the money that you give over to come io this really great show will go to the Empty Stocking Fund and will be devoted to purchasing the dream that little Johnny is afraid won’t come true. Don’t Forget the Dolls. Surely' you can make your contri bution through this channel, and be glad of it, no matter if you be the crustiest man alive. Isn’t It being made attractive for you to give? And if you be a woman, with a woman’s heart for the dear, dainty task of sewing pretty things, it must be attractive, indeed, that you have an opportunity to dress the Christ mas dolls. There are still a number of these dolls at The Georgian and Sunday American office on Alabama street that you can dress, if you want to, for the poor children’s Christmas presents. A great opportunity to help thwart the Empty Stocking specter. But never mind the attractive part of this thing. There is your duty. Everybody has a duty at Christmas time, to do something, probably only a very small something, to make the world a little brighter, and happier, and more beautiful.

The story is that Carnegie had planned to save $25,000,000, but found that as s»ome of the trustees of his various funds differed with him on some of Ills ideas, he was forced to take $10,000,000 from his private for tune in order to have his own way about certain bequests. He has provided handsomely for Mrs. Carnegie and Miss^Carnegle. I I CISffiETS" FI* HERE FOR DIG Great Incohonee Carl Foster, of Bridgeport, Conn., and visiting chiefs of the Improved Order of Red Men now in conclave here were shown At lanta Monday morning pending the completion of preparations for ihe great celebration Monday night. This is the first time the chief of the national body has visited this city. He expressed himself as surprised and highly pleased with Atlanta. "I have heard a great deal of this city,” said Mr. Foster. "Wherever I travel and my duties for the Re i Men carry me to every part of the United States—I am told of the won ders that Atlanta has produced. It is all true.” Other Officials He On the tour with the great incoho nee were a number of officials of til 1 State organizations, including George A.

Daniel of Griffin, past great incohonee of the nation 1 body, when he appeared at headquar ters. The present incohonee in appear ance resembles more closely a Ger man student than the chief executive of an organization numbering 500,10(1 men. Mr. Foster is large of stature, with bushy head crowned by a cap, and he wears spectacles. His work as head of the Red Men has met with marked success. De spite the xactions of this great organ ization, however, he conducts also a large business in his Connecticut home.

Reports to me from all over the nation show this, and more—they show a most wonder ful future. . “Tiie order of the Red Men. you must know, is not an Indian institu tion. Its basis is patriotism. The organization is in no way iyteresti i in politics, and takes no active stand at any time in political affairs, except for file good of our country.” The motor oar tour of the city was scheduled to last from 10 until 2 o’clock, and at 6 o’clock Monday even ing k was planned to form a double line of Red Men. each with a red light fuse, from the n^w wigwam >n Central avenue to the Hotel Ansley, through which triumphal gauntlet the guest of honor and the high chieftains of the order will drive in motor cars to the wigwam.

The annual memorial day of the Elks was observed by Atlanta Lodge No. 7 at the Grand Theater Sunday afternoon with an impressive cere mony.

A vacant chair, covered with wreaths of white roses, sat on the stage in the midst of the officers of the lodge. While John Anderson reid “The Vacant Chair” the names of the departed brothers were flashed upon a screen. As the last name was flashed the audience rose and sang an ode to the tune of “Home, Sweet Home,” which ended with the words: “May charity, justice and brotherly love At last lead us all to the Grand Lodge Above!” Tears flowed down many a cheek that has been known only to smile for many a day.

ARE SAVED FROM INEVITA BLE DEATH BY “QUAKER." Two more remarkable cases were brought to the attention of the Health Teacher when here, which serve to prove that worms are the cause of over 80 per cent of all ailments of children, whlcn has been the conten tion since the Health Teacher has been here. Mrs. A. L. McClendon, living at 175 Kelly street, has three children, one six years old, one ten years old and one thirteen. All were in a weak, puny, run-down condition, restless at night, nervous and fretful, and were listless, not having ambition to even play. They would eat very little food, and were the source of much anxiety to their fond mother Mrs. McClendon procured a treatment of Quaker Ex tract from Coursey & Munn’s drug store, and. after giving it to her babes for about two weeks, says they are all as red-cheeked and rosy, and full of real life, as any children she ever saw'. They eat almost anything they can get and are gaining strength right j along. One of them, the oldest, ex pelled a large number of stomach worms soon after beginning the use of Quaker Extract. The other case is that of the dear little five-year-old daughter of Mr E. Robinson, living at 483 Bass street, who is a motorman In this city. His little one. who had been complaining with pains in the stomach, restlessness and languid feeling, ex pelled a great stomach worm, over 7 Inches in length. With this proof that their child was the victim of these parasites, the parents began to give the little girl worm syrups, candies, powders and various parasite expellers (so called), but there were no more worms of any kind passed. Still the child became worse right along. The father got a bottle of Quaker Extract from Coursey & Munn’s drug store, and after taking but four doses his baby passed over 24 large stomach worms, averaging about four inches in length, and all of which were alive. This had been the entire cause of her very alarming condition, and Quaker, by expelling the cause, had created a complete cure for all her symptoms. Now. if your children are pale, puny, restless at night and nervous during the day. picking at their nose, gritting their teeth, listless, and having pains in the slomaoh. with a poor appetite, don’t you think you owe it to them and yourself to2 get rid of all the trouble? And now that school days have begun, they will need even more energy, more, ambition and courage, which can only be displayed by a real live, healthy, normal child. Get some of the wonderful Quaker Extract, which will put the little ones of your family Tn a normal state of health, and rid their systems of all worms or germs that may be infesting them. The price is six for $5.00, three for $2.50 or $1.00 a bottle. Call to-day at Coursey & Munn's Drug Store. 29 Marietta street, for these wonderful Quawer Remedies.
