When Caruso Sings for San
-
Francisco Sunday Afternoon
m
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.
nbon 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 amd immortalized the
work. The world holds no more inspiring exemplar of what
courage and energy can do than the Ban 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 dctermination and the same purpose.
And she is marching on! The sharp and searing lesson of the
¢ she has determined to apply to the future. Her people are
for the fight for a still greater and more prosperous city;
for better civic government and conditions; for still higher
ideals ‘and more glorious achievements. Her determination is
ltrow;\{:r purpose higher.
ere 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
im:f action, her conscience aroused, and her soul set upon
muAthnu 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
& 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
half-civilized care of our army in a little two weeks’ run into
Worse than that—worse than every bit of it—and all of it
put together—we haven't even the 3;3: of the old days.
Four hundred students of the niversity 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 owed neither allegiance nor respect to
any Government, anywhere at n{ym.umc for any reason.
Motth&y lg: l:r::;mon: ;n ou:ching mr wit at the
expense e on 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.
4 g:ppy days—that's what we send our boys to college for
‘“We do not want to t you,
But, by jingo if we a%?nlfi
! :o:n ::: no men,
e've no ships,
And we couldn't, if we would."’
Is that the new version? p
Or wo:‘kl you make it—'‘we wo‘nldn‘t if we could?”’
~ Me and my money—you fl 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 cnou.h‘mnl that &1 one of those boys of ours
~ down there in taking orders like & man and obey.
- lug them like a soldier—facing hunger, disease and sudden
- death—Dbecause he has taken an oath to do so—is worth more
E 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
&M “t‘h.loyuty and their everlasting shame to the four winds

The mother who entrusts her boy to the world is like

of lm, send out the messenger that represents hope and
devotion.
Of the ships and the sons that go out, some never come

famous song, is a picture of the mother, and of the boy that

There are thousands of mothers waiting for “their

of the boy to whom they gave everything, just as there are

T was a Frenchman, Rousseau,
I who wrote:
“Everyone is afraid to die;
that is the great law of con

It was a German, Schopenhau

“The greatest evil, the worst
thing that can be threatened, is
Death. The gredtest fear in the
world is the Fear of Death.”
It was a Russian, Tolstol, who
preached his 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 sald:
That all religion is only a
thinking about death. 1t s to

idea of eternal life.
It was a Greek, SBocrates, who

THE FEAR MAUNTS PARENTS,
Death has boen King of Europe
for nearly two years'
Every mother whoe has said
§ood-bye to her son in uniform
Death in Europe
has th::utht 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.
Death makes that mether and
that wife almost glad to hear that
son or husband has been taken
prisoner, or that he is coming
home too badly wounded to go
out again to the front.
Death may be a release for
those who are sick or desperate.
Many times it takes more cour
age to live than to die.
Death may be the symbo! of a
great surrender—as when the
Oriental takes his own life tn or.
der 1o set the seal of his resolu
tion upon a cause which has boen
lost. Or when a man feels that
1f honor is lost o must he be lost, -
give us his life

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 promise to her that you made while on
her knee?
Can you truly say you're half the man to-day that she alwaye
thought you'd be?

" Is death only the drapping of a

But it that is so, if souls are
made of the deepest feeling and

not see the conflict still golng on

Used to tell us eager boys
To beware of earthly joys; -~
Pomp and vanity and such
Mustn't get us in their clutch,

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!™ sald old John Jones,
Oné fine 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, 2o far as | can learn,
Old John Jones did not return.
Did be make the shortage good
As & righteous deacon shéuld?
Did he send the firm a check
To avert their total wreek?
No. He hurried on his way,
Going farther North each day,
Goling nearer to the Pole--
Good old soul!l

L 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 alllies are some of
the newspapers of the State,
which are trying to “muddy the
waters” to create a sentiment in
favor of selling this wvaluable
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 all 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 years ago,
and 1 understand that it was
practically named then by the les
sees. Why and how they figure
that this property will bring the
same under the new lease as the
old Is something [ 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, 1 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
last Legisiature will be able to
