When Caruso Sings for San
Francisco Sunday Aiternoon
e —
That was a most interesting and gignificant 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 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 wronght 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 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 mo more inspiring exemplar of what |
courage and energy can do than the San Francisco of today. l
She has increased her popuiation. She has added to her re. '
sources. Bhe is doing more business than ever before. She has
better streets, finer buildings, public and private, higher ideals ]
and larger ambitions than ten years a4go.
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. 1
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. . |
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 ?n 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
wmmhor purpose higher. ‘
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
m:;‘ action, her canscience aroused. and her soul set upon |
“‘!Afiuh wafts her heartiest congratulations across the conti. l‘

“We do not want to fight you,
But. by j{n&i{ we do—
We've got 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
vophmltitmmwliutbooldwngnow?
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 wlflt of the old days.
Four hundred students of the niversity of Columbia met
last week in New York to &:oun against the idea of military

There are thousands of mothers waiting for “their

Itis difficult to overestimate the good that can be done
through the influence of a powerful picture, or a song tha¢

Many a man, still within the regions of hope, will owe
his salvation to the influence of the song that has spread

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 fifm stand’ taken by
You and a few other influentia!
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 Urying 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 aliles 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 | understand that it was
practically named then by the les
sees. Why and how they figure
that this property wiil bring the
same under the new lease as the
old ie something | can not under
stand, and yet they use the old
figures in all their calculations.
As & member of the House W,
and A Raillway Committee for the
past four years, | have given this
matier considerabls study, and,
from facts and figures gathered
by this commities through differ
ent sources, | think that the W,
and A Commission created by tie
last Lagisinture will be able to
