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 SBan 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 San 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 citizens whisked
away the ruins, put their affairs in order, 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 San Francisco of today.
She has increased her population. She has added to her re
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
position benefits and exaltations in all her relations with her
‘fellows at home and her friends abroad.
So 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. What 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
:troxg:; her purpose higher.
re is still much to do, and she will do it!
Ten years after April 18, 1906, finds San 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!
“nflm.hnu 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?
i 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
a 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
h's.llx-iciviliud care of our army in a little two weeks' run into
0.
Worse than that—worse than every bit of it—and all of it
put together—we haven't even the spirit of the old days.
Four hundred students of the University of Columbia met
last week in New York to protest against the idea of military
instruction in general and the 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 ewed neither allegiance nor respect to
any Government, anywhere at any time for any reason.
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."’
% lls that the new version? '
Or would you make it—'‘we wouldn't if we could?"’
High days—high vhtom—-:lxh 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 are those among us stupid enough and re.
actionary eno htolulummtomofthou boys of ours
"bw-mm“'mmum; orders like a man and obey
them like a soldier—facing hunger, disease and sudden
! he has taken an oath to do so—is worth more
any 200 or 2,000 or 200,000 such fellows as those who
_ gathered on the campus at Columbia the other night and shout.

The mother who entrusts her boy to the world is like
the owner who sends a ship to sea. Mother and owner, full
of hope, send out the messenger that represents hope and
devotion.
Of the ships and the sons that go 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

There are thousands of mothers waiting for, “their
ship” to come in, waiting for the return and the 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.

the lamp burning at home, the mother waiting, and realize

It was a Russian, Tolstol, who

That to suffer death at the

than to cause their death, even in

l Old John Jones
By WILLIAM F. KIRK,
D JOHN JONES, aged six-
O ty-four,
Kept th> books in Jenkins'
store.
And, v hen work was not the ruie,
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 boye
To beware of earthly jJoys;
Pomyp and vanity and such
Musin't get us in their cltch.
“When you're men,” he used to
sy,
“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 fine day an awful roar
Echoed out of Jenking' store.
Then we heard a grim report:
“T'wenty thousand dollars short!”
And we learned the following day
Old John Jones had gone away;
And. =0 fnr as | can learn,
Old John Jones did not return,
Did he make the shortage good
Ax a righteous deacon should?
id be send the firm a check
To avert their total wreck?
No. He hurried on his Way,
Going farther North each day,
Going nearer 9 the Pole - -

Letters From the People
THE STATE ROAD.
Editor The Georgian: g
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
flgures these allies and “cow law
yers” are using to show why we
should sell the road. Th all their
“figures” they invariably use the
'flce 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 years ago,
and I understand that it was
practically named then by the less
sees. Why and how they figure
that this property will bring the
same under the new lease as the
old isx 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. Rallway Committee for the
past four years, I have given this
matter considerable study, and,
from facts and figures gathered
by this committes through differ
ent sources, | think that the W.
and A. Commission created by the
inst Legisiature will be able to

lease the road and the lands be

operation, for a cool million dol
lars per year. Not many peopia
know it, but the Jands belonging
to this road, but not used in its
operation, in the heart of Atlanta

leased for about as much as the
railroad, and without” decreasing
its value for railroad purposes.
The matter of a minimum price
Per year for a new lease on this
property was freely discussed by
the committee after gathering da
ta on the subject, and It was al
most unanimously , agreed that
around $700,060 per year should
be the minimum price for the
railroad property alone, So add
to this the rental valuye of the
other property in the heart of At
lanta and Chattarooga, and these
“allies” and “figuring” railroad
attorneys can begin to compre
hend the enormous value of this
road. Why, it has been esti
mated by cgnservative experts
that this property would pay a
dividend of 5 per cent on a val
uation of twenty millions of dol
lars, and 7 per cent on a fifteen
million valuation. So if they will
