When Caruso Sings for San
-
Francisco Sunday Afternoon
———————————————————————————————————————— —————————
That was a most interesting and significant story published
in The Georgian Wednesday afternoon, telling of the forthcom
ing celebration of San Francisco's remarkable progress and de
.velopment since the great earthquake of 1906—and of how
Caruso, the world's most wonderful tenor, next Sunday after
noon in Atlanta will sing to three thousand listening citizens of
the Pacific coast metropolis, over long-distance telephone.
It will be a satisfaction to Atlanta to play a part in this
great celebration.
Ten years ago Ban Francisco was stricken by a disaster that,
in the matter of property loss, exceeded any disaster that ever
had afflicted a city since the world began.
Pessimists who overlooked the ruin wrought by fire follow
ing earthquake said it would take ten years to clean up the de
bris. They gave themselves over to despair.
But the pessimists and cowards were few; the optimists and
heroes many. These set their teeth and, with the light of deter
mination in their eyes, went about the building of a better, big
ger, grander city than the one destroyed.
Combining faith with work, the undaunted eitizens whisked
away the ruins, put their affairs in nider, and began to create in
stead of to repine. &
Ten years have justified the faith and immortalized the
work. The world holds no more inspiring exemplar of what
courage and energy can do than the SBan Francisco of today.
She has increased ber population. She has added to her fe
sources. She is doing more business than ever before. She has
better streets, finer buildings, public and private, higher ideals
and larger ambitions than ten years ago.
There is more money in the banks; a greater per capita
wealth, an increased value of real estate. The schools and
- churches have advanced materially, educationally, spiritually.
She has bettered her civic government, increased her self
respect, commanded a wider approval.
Her progress has not been hysterical, but steady, persistent,
businesslike. In the face of necessity, panic, war, she held the
noblest world's exposition ever thought out and put together by
the brain and hand of man. And she has derived from that Ex
fosmon benefits and exaltations in all her relations with her
ellows at home and her friends abroad.
8o it is no wonder that this is the day she is going to cele
brate. The day tells how courage has triumphed over adversity.
It speaks an inspiring message to other cities now in the throes
of demolition and despair. %at she has done they can do—with
the same determination and the same purpose.
And she is marching on! The sharp and searing lesson of the
past she has determined to apply to the future. Her people are
-eager for the fight for a still greater and more prosperous city;
for still better civic government and conditions; for still higher
ideals and more glorious achievements. Her determination is
stronger; her purpose higher.
There is still much to do, and she will do it!
Ten years after April 18, 1906, finds Ban Francisco with her
face toward the morning, her eye clear and bright, her heart
. Strong for action, her conscience aroused, and her soul set upon
the right!
“Athnu wafts her heartiest congratulations across the conti

Shame and Disloyalty of New
York Students
\
""We do not want to fight you,
But. by jingo if we do—
We've got the men
* We've got the ships,
And we've got the money, too."’
That's what they used to sing in the old days—how would
we phrase it if we tried to sing the old song now?
; We've got the money, too—all right—but we have neither
the ships—nor the men.
- We haven't the arms and accouterments—we haven't even
8 decent flying machine—we haven't the' right sort of wireless
appartus—we haven't enough clothes of the right sort or
enough decent rations packed in the right way to take even
=l.nl-civfliud care of our army in a little two weeks' run into
CO.
- Worse than that—worse than ovc;;y bit of it—and all of it
put together—we haven't even the spirit of the old days.
Four hundred students of the Jnivermy of Columbia met
last week in New York to tß.mtut against the idea of military
instruction in general and Plattsburg Summer Camp in par-
Two professors and an instructor joined the demonstration
and denounced the idea of preparedness of any kind.
The speakers announced to the tune of rousing cheers that
they were free men and owed neither allegiance nor respect to
any Government, anywhere at any time for any reason. o
Then they had a glorious time exercising their wit at the
expense of the Declaration of Independence—made fun of the
American flag, gave themselves a good many more than three
cheers, and went home feeling, no doubt. highly pleased with
themselves and their performances.
Happy days—that's what we send our boys to college for
—is it? .
‘“We do not want to fight you,
But, by jingo if we should—
We've got no men,
We've got no ships,
And we couldn’t, if we would."’
Is that the new version? §
Or would you make it—'‘we wouldn't if we could?"’
High days—high Vlliou—ugh ideals.
Me and my money-—you and your money—what an old.
fashioned thing loyalty is and what a fool a man is to care for
his own country.
And yet—there gre those among us stupid enough and re
actionary enough to feel that Lnn one of those boys of ours
down there in Mexico taking his orders like a man and obey
ing them like a soldier—facing hm:'gfir. disease and sudden
death--because he has taken an oath to do so—is worth more
“than any 200 or 2,000 or 200,000 such fellows as those who
gathered on the campus at Columbia the other night and shout.
od &dr disloyalty and their everlasting shame to the four winds

The mother who entrusts her boy to the world is like
the owner who sends a ship to sea. Mother and swner. full
of hope, send out the messenger that represents hope and
devotion.
Of the ships and the sons that g 0 out, some never come
back, and this powerful picture, suggested to the artist by a
famous song, is a picture of the mother, and of the boy that
never was “half the man that his mother thought he would
be.il
There are thousands of mothers waiting for “their
ship” to come in, waiting for the return and tie salvation
of the boy to whom they gave everything, just as there are
thousands of owners that wait in vain for the ship that went
to sea. .
Such men as the men in this picture, if they could see

® Death in Europe ¢
By Charlotte Teller.
T was a Frenchman, Rousseau,

“Everyone is afrald to dle;
that is the great law of con

It was a German, Schopenhau
er, who wrote;
“The greatept evil, the worst
thing that can be threatened, is
Death. The greatest fear in the
world is the Fear of Death.”
It was a Russian, Tolstol, who
preached lils gospel:
That to suffer death at the
hands of one's enemies is better
than. to cause their death, even In
self-defense.
It was the philosopher Guyau
who sl
That ail religion is only a

avold death that one accepts the
idea of eternal lite
It was a Greek, Socrates, who
sald.
“The life of a philosopher is
spent in nothing else than think

It was a Roman. Clcero, who
sald:
“If to believe in eternal life is
an ilusion, nevertheless | love the
Musion, and shall never give it

THE FEAR HAUNTS PARENTS.
Death has been King of Europe
for nearly two years!
Every molher whoe has sald
§vod -biye to her son In uniform
has thought of death and lived in
that thought—until she has had
word of his death itself. And
then she keeps on thinking.
Every father as he kissed his
children to go out to war has had
the thought of death .hidden be
hind his smile. Only his wife has
seen the shadow of the thought in
his eyes.

son or husband has been taken
prisoner, or that he is eoming

out again to the front,
Death may be a release for
those who are sick or desperate.
Many times it takes more cour

Death may be the symbol of a
great surrender—as when the

turns toward the lights of the harbor.
It is difficult to overestimate the good that can be done
through the influence of a powerful picture, or a song tha¢
touches the heart.
Many a man, still within the regions of hope, will owe
his salvation to the influence of the song that has spread
over this nation, with its powerful refrain:
“Have you kept your promisge to her that You made while on
her knee?
Can you truly say you're half the man to-day that she always
thought you'd be?
Is she proud to be your mother? Is it Joy or sorrow in her eyes
you see?
Are you all she planned and prayed for, all she raked and
scraped and slaved for?
Are you half the man your mother thought you'd be?”
draws toward its end and the
great total of the dead is added
up the whole world will have to
think about death.
Is it the Great Reality? Or is
it an llusion?
If we had eyes to see and were
above a great battle field when
the men feli, could we see their
souls rising up like a mist?
Is death only the dropping of a
heavier garment for a lighter
one? 2
But If that is so, if souls are
made of the deepest feeling and
purpose that is in man, would we
not see the conflict still going on
between the souls released from
the body?
If we had eyes to see these
souls, should we not also see the
storms of hate and vengeance
raging above those battle flelds?
Are wars only of ihe earth? Is
Death king only of the earth? So
soson as men dle, do they see the
truth? And what is the truth of
the Death which they see ruling
aill Eurgpe today?
Do they find it childish?
Do they feel it to be a war of
the spirits that inspire the peoe
ples, or only made by the crimes
and blunders of men?
Do they know when this war
shall come to an end?
Do they know when war (tself
shall come to an end, or do they
see war and death to be everlast«
Mg us long as man is born into
the flesh ?
When, then, shall death, whieh
the Bible calls the last and
sirongest of te enemies, be over

Old John Jones
By WILLIAM F. KIRK.
D JOHN JONES, aged six
-0 ty-four,
Kept tha books in Jenkins'
store,
And, when work was not the rule,
Had a class in Sunday school,
Yes, he did.
Old John Jones—l see him now
With his sorriwing, mirthless
brow-—
Used to tell us eager boys
To beware of earthly joys:
Pomp and vanity and such
Mustn't get us in their clutch.
“When you're men,” he used to
say,
“Walk the strait and narrow way,
Never flirt with pretty girls,
Never pat their golden curls.
Never drink and never smoke:
Never tell a naughty joke,
Never loaf around with drones.
Be like me!” said old John Jones.
One finé day an awful roar -
Echoed out of Jenkins' store.
Then we heard a grim report:
“Twenty thousand dollars short!"
And we learned the following day
Old John Jones had gone away;
And, so far as I can learn,
Old John Jones did not return,
Did he make the shortage rood
As a righteous deacon should?
Dld he send the firm a check
To avert their total wreck”
No. He Nurried on his way,
Golng farther North each day,
Going nearer to the Pole
Govd old soul! ®

Letters From the People
THE STATE ROAD.
Editor The Georgian:
You are to be commended on
your stand in behalf of the peo
ple's property—the State road—
and I am frank to say that, in my
opinion, this firm stand taken by
you and a few other influential
State papers is all that will save
our State road from the greedy
clutches of the Louisville and
Nashville Railway and its allies.
I am sorry to see, too, that some
of the strongest allies are some of
the newspapers of the State,
which are trying to “muddy the
Waters” to create a sentiment in
favor of selling this valuable
property. )
It is amusing to see some of the
figures these allies and “cow law
yers” are using to show why we
should sell the road. In al} their
“figures” they invariably use the
price we are now receiving as
rental for a basis. They do not
take into consideration the fact
that this price was placed upon
this property nearly 30 yvears ago,
and 1 understand that it was
practically named then by the les
sees. Why and how they figure
thiit this property will bring the
‘same under the new lease as the
old is something I can not under
‘stand, and yet they use the old
figures in all their calculations.
As a member of the House W.
and A. Railway Committee for the
past four years, I have given this
matter conglderable study, and,
from facts and figures gathered
by this committee through differ
ent sources, I think that the W.
and A. Commission created by the
last Legislature will be able to
