"You cannot tat your cake and have your cake.”

Two “Breathing Places” Won.
The Innovation for which The Georgian haa ao earn'
rstly plead In the eatabllahment of park,square* and
breathing apacea In our crowded centers, aeema to be
taking hopeful abape.
The board of education yeaterday In a deliberate aea-
alon, formally decided to establish play grounda for the
children of the city In two public achool yards. The As
sociated Charities through Secretary Logan, Messrs,
Krlegahaber, J. K. Orr and Rev. C. B. Wllmer, have labor
ed diligently and most effectively In thla cause, and they
with The Georgian and the people of the city, are much
rejoiced that the board of education haa decided to make
the experiment with these two school yards. What yards
will be used will be subsequently determined by tbe super
intendent, and the decision will doubtless be eagerly
watched.
It will now devolve upon all of those who are Intor
ested, to see that this experiment Is made so abundantly
auccessful during tbs present summer that the liberality
of the board will be repealed and amplified during the
next summer until every school yard will be a breathing
spaco during the next heated term.
This Is a movement along the definite tines of prog,
ress In this community. It Is a distinct expression of hu
manity and of civilisation that we are pausing In the
whirl of our strenuous life to provide places of breathing
fresh air and recreation for the tollers young and old
who find It a heavenly comfort now and then to get out of
hot and steaming buildings and to breathe the oxone of
this Incomparable air In refreshment and relnsplration to
their lungs and brains.
In behalf of the community we congratulate the
board upon Jts liberal and progressive action, and pre
dict for the experiment a sucoesa which will be pleasing
to all who have contributed to It.
The Increase in Manufactures.
The manufacturing Industries of tbe United States
grow so rapidly that the Interval between one census
and another Is altogether too great, and when the
succeeding enumeration comes around we find that we
have advanced even beyond all expectations.
S. D. N. North, the present director of the census,
without waiting for 1910, has been busy securing figures
on the Increase In manufactures during the five years
which have elapsed since the last census was taken,
and the result Is little abort of amaxlng. We find that
thla is Indeed a great country, and that our wealth Is
Increasing more rapidly than during any pedod In our
history. *
The figures referred to were given out at a dinner
which the director of the census recently attended, and
show that the capital now Invested In manufacturing
enterprises In this country Is $7,375,930,060 as against
35,100,172,000 In 1900, or an Increase of more than fifty
per cent. This Is In face of the 7act that the number
of Individual concerns has Increased but, little more
than five per cent. The number of salaried officials
and clerks has Increased 41 per cent white the amount
of salaries has Increased 01 per cent. The number of
wage-earners has Increased 10 per cent while the amount
of salaries has Increased twice that amount.
The value of the products of manufacturing enter
prises has Increased to almost 99,000,000,000 as against
30,807,000,000 five years ago, or an Increase of more
than >1 per cent.
These figures are ao vast that the average lay mind
cannot comprehend their full Import, (lut It must ba re
alize^ that the growth la tremendous.
The figures prepared by Mr. North do not show the
particular Industries which have thus grown ao tre
mendously, but they do show the growth In the dif
ferent states, and In this tbe South may take a special
pride. Down here, and In the newer states of the
union, the largest Increase Is shown, while the smallest
per cent Is In the New England statea.
For example, In Idaho the amount of capital Invested
Increased 341.1 per cent; salaries of clerks and officials
Increased 147 per cent; expenses Increased 668 per.cent,
and the value of the products Increased 182.1 per cent.
In the Indian Territory tbe Increase In the number
of establishments was 161.4 per cent, of capital 202.5 per
cent, and of products 179.6 per cent.
North Dakota Increased Its establishments 63.8 per
cent
In Oklahoma the number of establishments Increased
109.2 per cent, capital 335.3 per cent and the value of
the products 198.7 per cent.
Delaware makes the smallest gain. Thfe percentage
of Increase In establishments In this state Is three-tenths
of 1 per cent, and the value of products but four-tenths
of 1 per cent.
While the percentage of Increase In the number of
factories In the Eastern states Is not great, the Eastern
states hold up tbe Increased percentage In value of
products. Connecticut, for Instance, Increases Its value of
products 17.1 per cent; Maine, 28.2 tier cent; Massachu
setts, 22.8; New Hampshire 15.5; Vermont. 22.5, and
Rhode Island. 32.1. Sage Brain Nevada Increases her
products 145.5 per cent; New Jersey, 40.1 per cent.
Tbe completed figures have not been tabulated for
New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin, which are
four of tbe largest manufacturing states. The totals are
Included In the table of grand totals given above, and the
percentages of Increase In these states are as satisfactory
as in the others.

Dean Snellfng of Franklin College.
In commenting with cordial approval on yesterday
upon the election of David C. Barrow as chancellor of
the university, It was not the purpose or Intention of The
Georgian to omit or to subordinate Its equal approval of
the selection of Prof. Charles M. Snelling as dean of
Franklin college and Vice Chancellor of the University.
The selection of Colonel Snelling a* the yoke mate of
Chancellor Barrow la as eminently appropriate as It was
demonstrated upon the campus to be eminently popular.
Colonel Snelling Is tbe complement of Chancellor Bar.
row. He has some of tbe qualities which Professor Bari
row has not, and tbe two together make an admirable
combination for most effective service to tbe university.
Colonel Snelling Is full of the dash and charm of man-
nor that belongs to tho aggressive type of men. He
has the brilliancy and the forcefulness of the soldier,
and these things Joined to tbe sweetness and light of the
beloved new chancellor will fill .the cup of the university
to the brim of effective service.
Colonel Snelling baa grown upon tbe confidence and
regard of the student body, the alumni, the trustees and
tbe faculty during every year of his connection with the
university. The manliness of his tepnper, his scholarly
training, hla high courtesy, bis courage anil his firmness
Joined to his ample scholarship have won for him friends
In multiplying quantities daring every year In ble field
of work.
And In the same breath In which we congratulate the
university upon Chancellor Barrow, wo desire also to con-
gratulate It upon the elevation and continued services of
Dean Snelling.

haa been a strangely modest party.” - Ye gods and little

Senator Platt’s “Rest.”
The announcement cornea from Washington that Sen.
ator Platt has decided to “rest again."
The senior senator from the great state of New York
has done but little else during the present session of
congress. He was In his place during the Important de
bates on Abe most vital bills only long enough to protect,
as far as he couldt hla express company from the opera
tion of the rate bill, and disgusted all hla colleague* by
his selfish demands.
When tho time came he was quietly Ignored.
Senator Morgan called attention recently In such vlg-
orous terms to the absence from the senate of both the
ambassadors from tho state of Now York that the aged
base hurried to Washington and sat in his seat long
enough to be seen, but the work was too onerous for him,
and be has decided to go off and "rest again" at his
country place.
But It seems that even though he refuses to fulfill .hla
duties to hla constituents, he Is not to be allowed to rest,
for the notorious Mao Wood, who baa already figured
quite extensively In hla life drama, ha; recuperated from
“rest" she has been taking and baa brought forward the
charge that she la the legal wife of the senator and that
he Is consequently a bigamist. In evidence of this fact
she produces a marriage certificate, duly signed by the
officiating clergyman and a hired man employed by Mr.
Platt.
True, there seems to be some difficulty In locating
the clergyman and tbe witness. Kirs. Wood—or Platt, as
tho case may be—Intimates that these two have been
spirited away by Senator Platt, but this does not restrain
her from carrying on her case. She does not seem to be
quite certain what her purpose Is, beyond tbe establish
ment of her marriage, which she kept secret thus far, It
Is alleged, at the request of Senator Platt, and the es
tablishment, incidentally, of her claim to a large share
la the senator’a fortune. She seems to be pretty well
provided with money as It Is, so that "her coatle'a
strength may laugh a siege to scorn."
Whatever may be* the merits of the cate, there ap
pear! to be no probability that Mr. Platt will be able to
enjoy undisturbed repose at his country home or any
where else. He will be badgered and harassed until this
cause celebre la aettled.
Nemesis Is working over time on Senator Platt. He
sees himself dethroned from the bad eminence he has
been able to attain through his domination of New York
politics. He sees the sceptre wrested from him by an un.
lineal hand, whlto the whole country .becomes more and
more Indignant at the spectacle of a great state—an em
pire within Itself—absolutely unrepresented In the senate
while the most Important legislation of modern times Is
being discussed and enacted.
It seems to be a foregone conclusion that New York
In very desperation wilt soon demand the resignation of
her two senators, bnt In both Instances how eloquent Is
the reiterated lesson that the way of the transgressor Is
very, very hard.
GEORGIAN AT WE8T POINT—Mr. John H. Hea
ter. of Albany, Ga-, la expected In Atlanta thla
evening after a two years’ term at th* United
Statea Military Academy at Weat Point.
Cadet Hester was an appointee of Congress
man Griggs, and cornea home from the national
academy with the laurels of two brilliant and suc
cessful yjsars. The fact that he brink* borne the
hearty Indorsement and approval of hit Instruc
tors, who have written several letters to hla fam
ily and that his marks during this term have
been of the highest character and grade, is a
great happiness to hla family and friends, and
makes a fine and distinct promise for the young
soldier of the future.
Mr. Hester Is tbe second son of the Hon. John
T. Hester, of Albany, who Is one of the moat pop
ular and honored cltliens of southwest Georgia.
He I* the brother of Mrs. Dr. John Wilkins, of
thla city, and I* universally regarded by hla
friends and admirers aa one of the finest types
that Georgia haa sent to West Point In recent
years. In his manliness, courage, splendid tem
per and fine personal appearance, which la now
reinforced by the record of hts admirable schol
arship. he makes Indeed a pleasant figure of
promising forecast for the future.
Mr. Heater will be for several days the guest
of Dr. and Mrs. Wilkins In Atlanta before going
further to visit bis father In Albany.
name of the new president of the Technological school.
"Professor"' does not roll trippingly upon tho tongue, and *
tbe spirit and tbe custom of this ago clamors always for
an easy handle to'every name that Is of frequent use.
And at this time when the new president of the Techno
logical school Is coming more and more Into tbe public
eye and upon the public tongue It had come to be a prac
tical and linguistic necessity that we should have somo
briefer and simpler title by which to address him than
Professor ’ Matheson. j "Tbe man with the patch” Is not to be pltied-
• Wherefore, we thank Washington and Lee University | It's a strawberry patch.
for Its easy nd happy solution of the present difficulty
that surrounds us. The new LL.D. Is apt and timely.
"Dr." Matheson sounds well to us. It Is a title worthily
bestowed an done that will be worthily worn In Increas
ing honor and usefulness In the years to come.
Now, If we might utilise this happy moment of sug-
ould remark that Chancellor Barrow also
needs a shorter name and title than that which he has,
that the degree of L.L D. would fit him like a glove, and
that the people, young and old. who have to address the
distinguished head of the university would deem it a fa
vor to be authorized by some highly reputed college of
this country to speak hereafter of "Dr.” Barrow.

A Populist on the Situation.
To the Editor of The Georgian:
In no place do actions speak louder
than words oftenor tlmn tn politics. I
note the account of the meeting of
the Populist executive committee In
the Kimball House on last Thursday.
I had rather risk a man’s Populism or
Democracy, who let* his action or
works apeak for him, than him who
yells at the top of his voice, "I am r
Democrat or Populist" at every oppor
tunity. Now, Mr. Yancey Carter who
seemed to take a leading part In the
deliberations of. last Thursday. It
seems to me he was - lining
with the wrong gang, when he spoke
of Tom Watson, as "your much vaunted
leader.” Now, If any man haa suf
fered for the principles of Populism,
or hny man's works or actions have
S roclalmed him true to those ancient
emocratlc principles, that man Is Tom
Watson, and Tom Is still working,
without much "I am” yelling, toward
the same goal. Mr. Yancey Carter
also said: "That a man who voted for
Clark Howell, Hoke 8mlth or Dick
Russell Is not a good Populist." Please
permit me to My without attributing
any great "I amlsm" to myself, that
1 have been unanimously elected
chairman of the executive committee
of the Populist party of Johnson
county for the last twelve yMre, and
we have not lost a battle during the
time. We polled a big majority for
Judge Hines when he w*e elected gov
ernor of Georgia, and a big majority
for Tom Watson when he ran for
president of the United States, and
now stand ready to poll a big majority
for Hoks Smith when the time comes
And here we rest, willing for our prin
ciples and patriotism to be measured
by our actions and works, and not by
loud mouthed "I am" proclamations.
We now stand ready to call the Popu
list party of Johnson county together
when so ordered to do so by the chair
man of the state executive committee
of the Populist party. But we are not
willing to follow an executive com
mittee which In turn mult have been
modeled after the Ruse douma. We
have no fault of Judge Hines or Tom
Watson, and believe If true, unadul
terated patriotism entitles gentlemen
to be termed much lauded leaders they
are entitled to be thus termed, all the

THE FEE SYSTEM.
To the Editor of The Georgian:
About two years ago, while Hon.
John Temple Graves was editor of The
Atlanta News, we wrote an article for
that paper urging abolishment of the
fee system tn the courts of our state;
Since then the Fulton county grand
Jury came out In strong terms con
demning the present methods allow
ing the solicitor generals, sheriff* and
county clerks to collect all the moneys
paid In as lines and appropriate same
to their own use. Instead of turning
Mme Into the county treasury, as
should be done.
We are glad to not* that our county
(Jackson) had a but passed at the last
session of the legislature placing the
county solicitor and clerk of court on
a Mlary, and provided that all money
received as fines and cost* be turned
Into the county treasury after paying
a reasonable salary to the solicitor and
clerk. A neat sum has gone to the
county’s credit, besides removing from
these officers all temptation to run the
court as a money-making machine.
If the legislature at tu next session
does nothing more than place the so
licitor generals, clerks of the superior
courts and sheriffs on a Mlary. and
abolish the present fee system, they
will have done their state a great ser
vice. Under the present fee system It
Is tu the solicitor’s interest to have
blind tigers running all over hie cir

New York, June 21.—Beverly Farms,
Mass., Is congratulating Itself on hav
ing for the summer Baron Von Stern
berg, the German ambassador, and his
beautiful American wife. The Baron
ess Von Sternberg Is one of the fa
mous Langhem sisters, the trio of
which are named by a poetically In
clined .mother Violet, Lily and Ivy.
The Baroness answers to the name
of Lily.
Lily Langhem met "Speckle,” as the
president calls him, abroad. Two years
ago she accompanied him home to
America. In Washington he represents
his royal master, "The Dictator of the
Unnveree,” Wilhelm III.
The kaiser la said to have been
greatly pleased at the match, for while
Miss Langham Is not an heiress In her
own right, she comes of a distinguish
ed and wealthy family and la possessed
of a natural charm and tact that I*
said to have won the Instant admira
tion of the German ruler when she was
presented at the German court.
When the baron was sent to the
United States as ambassador It was
announced that the kaiser was sending
an "AmbaiMdor of Love.” HI* wife
ha* royally tried to sustain the right
to this title. She has made the Ger
man embassy functions In Washing
ton popular throughout, the diplomatic
corps.
Another New England summer re
sort which Is rejoicing because of a
diplomatic summer reeldent Is Am
herst, Mass. The Chinese minister. Sir
Chen Tung Liang Cheng, Is to spend
the summer there and with him will
be Miss May Liang Cheng, who Is
the only daughter of the Chinese min
ister to this country.
Little MIm Liang, like the piquant
celeatlal that she Is, takes a sby In
terest In th* social functions of the
diplomatic circle of the capital city.
Rumor has persistently reported this
oriental debutante aa engaged.
When confronted with thl* gossip the
other day the little visitor laughed,
shook her head and pattered away to
the roomy conservatory In tbe Chlneso
legation.
Mrs. Alfred ■Gwynne Vanderbilt has
set another fashion in which the ultra
fashionables at Newport doubtless w
follow.
While Kir. Vanderbilt has been malt
ing speed records between thlB city and
Newport for the Inst fortnight, his wife
may be -seen sailing her 80-foot Ca
price In Narragansett bay.
It is hard to beat the Long Island
farmer. The admixture of Yankee and
Dutch tnakee a combination which can
be depended upon to look out for Itself.
Lucky Rhodes, of Oakfield. has been
annoyed by W. K. Vanderbilt’s deer,
which evinced a great fondness for his
wheat fields, and made up his mind
stop them. -
He rigged up two poles and hung
on a cord several pans and cowbells.
To these he attached a fish line long
enough to reach across the field and
barnyard to the bed room where he
slept. He .tied the line to his right
wrist and at Interval* durlpg the night
woke up and gave it a tug. This, of
course, set the milk pans clattering, the
cow bells rlnglhg and the deer scamp
erlng for cover. Now it Is Mr. Vender
bill’s fields that the deer visit.
A new use haa been found for the

"Plain Dick” Pulling Votes.
To the Editor of The Georgian:
The friends of "Plain Dick” Russell
are taking great pride and pleasure
In the splendid campaign he le mak
ing, and In the evidence* of solid and
substantial Increase In strength and
popularity.
Rev. J. J. Bennett has Just been
elected to succeed Dr. Jameson as sec
retary of the Baptist Mission. He Is.
therefore, one of the most prominent
Baptist ministers of the state. Writ
ing from Griffin to th* Jackson Her.'ld,
Mr. Bennett Mye:
"I am not In politics, but I am op
posed to detraction and mlsrepresen-
tatlon. This leads me to My a word
to Judge Russell's home county through
The Herald. What 1 am about to My
la done without Judge RueseU’a knowl
edge or consent.
"In all fairness to the Judge, It Is
due his home people that they know
just what Impression he la really mak-
og aa Jackson county's candidate for
governor. Judging from the papers,
one would think that he Is not In the
race; that th* people are looking upon
his race with a mixture' of 'pity and
compassion.' Now, let me tell you
something. The people of Jackson
county may feel proud of him. I can't
apeak of other sections, but I can
speak of wbat I have seen In Griffin.
Two month* ago If he had a doxen
friends In the county I didn't know It.
Spalding county was seemingly almost
a unit for another candidate. Tie came
two days ago. however, mad* three
speeches In different-parte of the city,
and now you can count his friends
and supporters by the hundreds.
"Hie main speech delivered at the
Bijou thMter was pronounced by some
of the bralnest men. in the city decid
edly the fairest political speech ever
heard In Orlffln. He la openly de
clared the Abraham Lincoln of Georgia
politics.
"Like a conquering hero, he has
marched through this part of Georgia

“The Power of Beauty."
To tbe Editor of The Georgian:
That beauty ts a power none of us
can dispute. A wonderful, subtle,
many-sided power, striking a respon
sive chord within the soul of each In
dividual coming under Its Influence.
By the great law of attraction, "like
attracts like," ao this universal re
sponsiveness of all souls to beauty
must mean that somewhere within each
of u* there Is something beautiful.
Only a very little seeking reveals
thl* something In the perfect soul of
man, so sensitively attuned aa to be
touched by even the airy beauty of a
tinted bubble, tossed by a playful
wind. Only a little uncovering brings
out tbe manifestation of Its perfec
tions ao tha't he who runs may see and
feel.
The power of boauty has been felt
throughout all tbe ages; strong men
hare died for the power of beauty in
woman’s face and form.
Great poems have been written,
great picture* painted through the
power of bMuty In nature.
Groat thoughts have been born, great
deed* Inspired, through the power of
beauty In a noble life.
Callous hMris have been softened,
selfish lives have been awed through
the power of beauty In a great ucrl<
flee.
Many burdens are being lightened,
many pathways made less rough, and
anget choirs are heralding the day
when the troubled world will be at
peace, all united by the power of beau'
ty In brotherly love.

To flie Editor of The Georgian:
No movement looking'to civic Im
provement of greater value to Atlanta
could be started going than The Geor
gian's suggestion for the Immediate
establishment of park squares through
out the congested city center*. Right
In the center of the business, heart of
Atlanta, In the very midst of the mag'
nlflceht group of towering office pal
aces, there I* one place without a sin
gle expensive structure or improve
ment. Surrounded as It Is, with all
the grand commercial structures of
the very heart of Atlanta, It would
eeem. Indeed, that Providence had In
some mysterious way. kept In reserve
this very spot that the people of the
B resent and untold .generation yet un-
orn, might have just here a fountain
from which to quaff the life-giving
elixir of God's precious nectar; abund
ance of ozone-laden air, distilled
through the leeves of the trees, and
scented with the perTume of nature’s
floral laboratory, and mellowed Into
one exquisite blend of refreshing ex-
hllaritlon with th* added aroma of
freshly mown grass lawns and well
kept shrubbery.
Ths Spot.
I herewith suggest that at any coat
the city condemn and purchase for a
central park square or plsxs. the two
blocks bounded by Broad street on the
east. Walton on the sooth, Forsyth on
the west and Luckla on the north.
Very truly yours,
EDWARD H. WALKER.
