Two “Breathing Places” Won.
The Innovation for which The Georgian has ao earn
estly plead In the establishment of . park squares and
breathing'spaces in our crowded centers, seems to be
taking hopeful shape.
The board of education yesterday In a deliberate see-,
slon. formally decided to establish play grounds for the'
children of the city In two public school yardf. The As
sociated Charities through Secretary Logan, Messrs.
Krlcgshaber, J. K. Orr and Rev. C. H. Wllmer, have labor
ed diligently and most'effectively In this cause, and they
with The Georgian and the people of the city, are much
rejoiced that the board of education has decided to make
the experiment with these two school yards. What yards
will be used will be subsequently determined by the super
intendent, and the decision wilt doubtless be esgerly
watched.
It will now devolve upon all of those who are Inter
ested, to see that this experiment Is made so abundantly
successful during the present summer that the liberality
of the board wilt be repeated and amplified during the
next summer until every school yard will be a breathing
space during the next heated term.
This !| a movement along the definite lines 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
w ho And 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 relnsplratton to
their lungs and brains.
In behalf of the community we congratulate the
board upon Its liberal and progressive action, and pre
dict for the experiment a success which will be pleasing
to nil who have contributed to It.
The Increase in Manufactures.
The manufacturing Industries of the United Btatee
crow so rapidly that the Interval between one census
and another Is altogether too grqat. and when the
succeeding enumeration comes around we And 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 Agures
the Increase In manufactures during the Ave years
hlch have elapsed since the last census was taken,
and tho result Is little short of amaxlng. We And that
this Is Indeed a great country, and that our wealth is
Increasing more rapidly than during any period In our
history.
The Agures 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
nterprlses In this country Is $7,375,930,000 aa against
$.">.166,172,000 In 1900, or an Increase of more than Afty
per cent. This Is In face of the fact that the number
of Individual conoerns has Increased but little more
than Ave per cent. The number of salaried officials
and clerks has Increased 41 per cent while the amount
of salaries has Increased 51 per cent. The number of
w age-earners has Increased 18 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 $9,000,000,000 as against
$6,807,000,000 five years ago, or an Increase of more
than 31 per cent.
These figures are so vast that the average lay mind
cannot comprehend their full Import, but It must be re
alized that the growth Is tremendous.
The Agures prepared by Mr. North do not show the
particular Industries which hare thus grown so tre
mendously, but they do show the growth In the dif
ferent states, and In thla the Booth 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 ln the New Bngland states.
For example. In Idaho the amount of capital Invested
Increased $41.1 per cent; salaries of clerks and officials
Increased 147 per cent; expenses Increased 66$ per cent,
and tbs value of the products Increased 162.1 per cent
In the Indian Territory the Increase In the number
of establishments was 161.4 per cent, of capital 203.5 per
cent, and of products T79.6 per cent.
North Dakota Increased Its establishments 63$ per
cent.
In Oklahoma the number of establishments Increased
1091 per cent capital 335.3 per cent and the value of
ih<- products 198.7 per cent.
Delaware makes the smallest gain. The percentage
of increase In establishments In this state Is three-tenths
• >f l per cent, and the value of products but four-tenths
at 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 the Increased percentage In value of
products. Connecticut for Instance, Increases Its value of
products 17.1 per cent; Maine, $8.2 per cent; Massaehu-
pctts, 23.8; New Hampshire 15.5; Vermont, 33.6, and
It!. do Island, 23.1. Sags Brusn Nevada Increases her
r— ducts 145.5 per cent; New Jersey, 40.1 per cent
The completed Agures have not been tabulated for
New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin, which are
i mr of the largest manufacturing staves. The totals are
Included In the table of grand totals given above, and the
percentages of increase In these states are as satisfactory
■« In the others.
The great Increase In manufacturing In the Sooth Is
ent Arkansas Increases the value of Its products

than bolding her own with what were once the commep
dnl centers of the country and the Indications are for a
continuance of this prosperity.

Dean Snelling of Franklin College.
In commenting with cordial approval on yesterday
upon the election of David C. Harrow as chancellor of
the university. It was not tbe purpose or Intention of Tho
Oeorglan to omit or to subordinate Its equal approval of
tbe selection of Prof. Charles M. Snelling as dean of
Franklin college and Vice Chancellor of tho University.
The selection of Colonel Snelling as the yoke mate of
Chancellor Barrow Is as eminently appropriate ss It was
demonstrated upon the campns to bo eminently popular,
Colonel Snelling Is the complement of Chancellor Bar-
row. He has somo of the qualities which Professor Bar
row haa not, and the two together make an admirable
combination for most effective service to the university.
Colonel Snelling Is full of tho dash and charm of mam
ner that belongs to tho aggressive type of men. He
has the brilliancy and the forcefulneai of tho soldier,
and these things Joined to the sweetness and light of the
beloved new chancellor will All tbe cup of the university
to the brim of effective service.
Colonel Snelling has grown upon the conAdence and
regard of the atudent body, the alumni, the trustee! and
the faculty during every year of his connection with tbe
university. The manliness of bis temper, his scholarly
training, his high courtesy, his courage and hia Armness
Joined to his ample scholarship have won for him friends
In multiplying quantities during every year ln bis Aeld
of work.
And In the same breath In which we congratulate the
univerally upon Chancellor Barrow, we desire alio to con
gratulate It upon the elevation and continued services of
Dean 8nelltng.

Senator Platt’s “Rest.”
The announcement comes from Washington that Sen
ator Platt has decided to “rest again.”
Tbe senior senator from the great state of New York
has done but little else during the present session of
congress. He was In hls place during the Important de
bates on the most vital bills only long enough to protect,
as far aa he could, hla express company from tbe opera
tion of tho rato bill, and disgusted all hls colleagues by
hls sclOsh demands.
When the time came be was quietly Ignored.
Senator Morgan called attentloa recently In such vig
orous terms to the absence from the senate of both the
ambassadora from the state of New York that tbe aged
boss hurried to Washington and sat in hls seat long
enough to be seen, but the work was too onerous for him,
and he has decided to go off end "rest again” at hls
Country place.
But It seems that even though he refuses to tulAll hls
duties to hit constituents, he Is not to be allowed to rest,
for tbe notorious Mae Wood, who has already Agurcd
quite extensively In bis life drama, has recuperated from
a "rest” she has been taking and haa brought forward the
charge that she Is tbe legal wife of a the senator and that
he Is consequently s bigamist. In ’evidence of this fact
she produces a marriage certlAcate. duly signed by the
officiating clergyman and r. hired man employed by Mr.
Platt.
True, there seems to be eome difficulty In locating
tho clergyman and the witness. Mrs. Wood—or Platt, as
the case may be—Intimates that these two have been
spirited away by Senator Platt, but thla does not restrain
her from carrying on her case. She does not seem to be
quite certain what her purpose Is,'beyond the establish'
ment of her marrlago. which she kept secret thus far, It
Is allaged, at the request of Senator Platt, and the es
tablishment, Incidentally, of her claim to a large share
In the senator's fortune. She seems to be pretty well
provided with money as It Is, ao that “her castle's
strength may laugh a siege to scorn.”
Whatever may be the merits of the case, there ap
pears to be no probability that Mr. Platt will be able to
enjoy undisturbed repose at hls roqntry horns or any
where else. He will be badgered and harassed until this
cause celebre la settled.
Nemesis It working over time on Senator Platt. He
sees himself dethroned from the bad eminence he has
been able to attain through hls domination of New York
politics- He secs the sceptre wrested from him by an un-
lineal band, while 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 la
being discussed and enacted.
It seems to be a foregone conclusion that New York
In very desperation will soon demand the resignation of
her two senators, but In both Instances bow eloqusnt Is
the reiterated lesson that the way of the transgressor Is
very, very hard.
name of tho new president of the Technological school.
"Professor"' docs not roll trippingly upon the tongue, and
the spirit and the custom of this age clamors always for
an easy handle to every name that is of frequent use.
And at this time when the new president of tho Techno
logical school Is coming more and more Into the public
eye aod upon tbe public tongue It bad come to bo a prac
tical and linguistic necessity that we should have some
briefer and simpler title by wbtcb to address him than
"Professor” Matbeson.
Wherefore, wo thank Washington and Lee University
Now, If we might utilize this happy moment of sug
gestion, we would remark that Chancellor Barrow also
needs a shorter name and title than that which he hag.
that the degree of L.L.D. would fit him like a glove, and
that tbe people, young and old, who have to address tbe
distinguished head of tbe university would deem It a fa
vor to be authorized by some highly reputed college ot
this country to speak hereafter of "Dr.” Barrow.

A Populiat on the Situation.
To the Editor of The Georgian:
In no plare do,actions speak louder
than words oftener than In 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 men's Populism or
Democracy, who lets hls action or
works speak for him, than him who
yells at tha top of hie voice, "1 am a
Democrat or Populist” at every oppor
tunity. Now. Mr. Yancey Carter who
seemed to take a leading part In the
deliberations ot 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 luu suf
fered for the principles of Populism,
or any man's works or actions have
proclaimed him true to those ancient
democratic principles, that man la Tom
Watson, nnd Tom la still working,
without much "I am”, yelling, toward
the same goal. Mr. Yancey Carter
also said; “Thet a man who voted for
Clark Howell, lloke Smith or Dick
Ruraell te not a good Popullet.” Please
permit me to say without attributing
any great "I amtam" to myself, that
I have been unanimously elected
chairman of the executive committee
of the Populiat party of Johnson
county for the last twelve years, and
we have not lost a battle during the
time. We polled a big majority for
Judge Hlnee when he was elected gov
ernor of Georgia, and a big majority
for Tom Watson when he ran for
president of the United States, and
now atand ready to poll a big majority
for Hoke Smith whan 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 tb call the Popu-
11st party of Johnson county together
when so ordered to do so by the chair
man of the state executive committee
of the Popullet party. But we are not
willing to follow an executive com
mittee which In turn must have been
modeled after the Russ douma. We
have no fault of Judge Hlnee or Tom
Watson, and believe If true, unadul
terated patriotism entitles gentlemen
to be tenned much lauded leaders they
are entitled to be thus termed, all the
I-am-lsts to the contrary notw.|htand-

' 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 In the courts ot our state.
Since then the Fulton county grand
Jury came out In strong terms con
demning the present methods allow-.
Ing the solicitor generate, sheriffs and
county clerks to collect ail the moneys
paid In aa lines and appropriate same
to their own use. Instead ot turning
same Into the county treasury, as
should be done.
We are glad to note that our county
(Jackson) had a bill passed at the last
session of the legislature placing the
county solicitor and clerk of court on
a salary, and provided that all money
received as tines and costa be turned
Into tbe county treasury utter paying
a reasonable salary to the solicitor and
clerk. A neat sum haa gone to the
county's credit, besides removing frym
these officers all temptation to, run the
court as a money-making machine.
If the legislature at Its next session
does nothing more than place the so
licitor generals, clerks of the superior
courts and sheriffs on a salary, and
abolish the present fee system, they
will have done their state a great ser
vice. Under the preeent fee system it

New York, June 21.—Beverly Farms,
Mass., Is congratulating Itself on hav
ing for the summer Baron Von Stern
berg, the German ambassador, and hls
beautiful American wife. The Baron-
Von Sternberg la one of the fa
mous Langham 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 Langham met "Speckle.” as tha
president calls him, abroad. Two years
ago she accompanied him home to
America. In Washington he represents
hie royal master, "The Dictator of the
Unnverae," Wilhelm III.
The kaiser Is said to have been
greatly pleased at the match, for while
Allas Langham Is not an heiress In her
own right, she comes of a distinguish
ed and wealthy family and Is possessed
of a natural charm and tact that is
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 "Ambassador of Love.’’ Hls wife
has royally tried to sustain the right
to thla title. She haa 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 resident Is Am
herst, Maes. The Chinese minister, Sir
Chen Tung Liang Cheng, Is to spend
the summer there and with' him will
be Mies May Liang Cheng, who Is
the only daughter of the Chinese min
ister to this country.
Little Miss Liang, like the piquant
celestial that shs Is, takes a shy In-
tsrest In ths social functions of the
diplomatic circle of the capital city.
Rumor has parslstently repotted this
oriental debutante as engaged.
When confronted with this gossip the
other day .the little visitor laughed,
shook her head and pattered away to
the roomy conservatory In ths Chinese
legation.
Mrs. Alfred Gwynne Vanderbilt has
M-t another fashion In which the ultra-
fashionables at Newport doubtless will
follow.
While Mr. Vanderbilt has been mak
ing speed records between this city and
Newport for the last fortnight, hls wife
may be seen sailing her 80-foot Cn-
<prlce in Narragansett bay.
It Is hard to beat the Long Island
farmer. The admixture of Yankee and
Dutch mokes a combination which can
be depended upon to look out tor Itself.
Lucky Rhodes, ot Oakfleld, has been
annoyed by W. K- Vanderbilt's deer,
which evinced a great fondness for hls
wheat fields, and made up hls mind to
stop them.
He rigged up two poles and hung
on a cord several pans and cowbells.
To these he attached a ffsh line long
enough to reach across the field and
barnyard to the bed room where he
slept. He tied the line to hls right
wrist and at Intervals during the night
woke up and gave It .a tug. 'This, of
course, set the milk pans clattering, the
cow bells ringing and the deer scamp
ering for cover. Now It Is Mr, Vander
bilt's fields that ths deer visit.
A new use has been found for the
auto when Samuel Westervelt, secre
tary of the Tenafly, N. J., board of ed
ucatlon, and a long trusted superln
tsndent In Lord & Taylor's, disappear
ed.
Two searching parties In autos began
the hunt tor him, their only clew be
ing foot prints leading toward the pal
isades. Into which from time to time,
they fitted one of the man's shoes. In
the woods the trait was lost, but all
night they ran the motors through the
brush, searching with lanterns. Just
as they were about to give up, the body
was found face downward In eighteen
Inches ot water.
Julius Botkin, who keeps • restau
rant at 45 Franklin street, declares
that he Is done with wild cats. A
friend In New Meriden sent him one.
The wild cat escaped from its box dur
ing the noon hour, cleaned the res
taurant out of Its customers and chew
ed Mr. Boston's coat before a policeman
killed it.

“Plain Dick” Pulling Votes.
To the Editor of The Georgian:
The friends of "Plain Dick" Russell
are taking great prida and pleasure
in the aplendld campaign he Is mak
ing, and In the evidences hf 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 Atlaslon. He Is,
therefore, one of the moet prominent
Baptist ministers of the state. Writ
ing from Qrlffln to the Jackson Herald,
Mr. Bennett says:
"I am not In politics, but I am op
posed to detraction and misrepresen
tation. This leads ms to say a word
to Judge Russell's home county through
The Herald. What I am about to say
la dona without Judge Russell's knowl
edge or consent
"In all fairness to ths judge. It Is
dut hls boms people that they know
just what Impression he Is really mak
ing as Jackson county's candidate for
governor. Judgtog from tbs papers,
ona would think that ha la not In tba
race: that tha people are looking upon
hls raca with a mixture of 'pity aod
compassion.' Now, 1st me tell you
something. The people of Jackson
county may feat proud of him. I can't
speak of other sections; but I can
apeak ot what I have seen In Griffin.
Two months ago If he had a dozen
friends In the county I didn't know It.
Spalding county was seemingly almost
a unit for another candidate. He come
two days ago, however, made three
speeches In different parts of ths city,
and now you can count hls friends
and supporters by the hundreds.
"Hls main speech delivered at the
BIJou theater was pronounced by soma
of tha bralnaat men In the city decid
edly the fairest political speech ever
heard In Griffin. Ha Is openly de
clared tha Abraham Lincoln of Georgia

"Lika a conquering hero, he ha*
marched through thla part of Georgia

throughout all the ekes: strong men
have died for thp power of beauty In a
woman's fare and form.
Great poems have been written,
great pictures painted through ths
power of beauty In nature.
Great thoughts have been born, great
deeds Inspired, through tha power of
beauty In a noble life.
Callous hearts have been softened,
selfish lives have been awed through
the power of beauty In a great sacrl
flee.
Many burdens are being lightened,
many pathways made less rough, and
angel choirs ara heralding the day
when the troubled world will be at
peace, all united by the power of beau
ty In brotherly love.

To the Editor of The Georgian:
Permit a comparative stronger' to
your city to express hls appreciation of
your paper. Having been accustomed
to the reading of such papers aa Ths
Chicago Tribune and The Chicago
Dally News, the writer was lost when
he first took up hls residence In your
city, owing to the lack ot a really first
class newspaper, morning or evening.
Whtn The Georgian appeared tnla
want was removed and now It haa
claimed me for a regular reader by
sheer force of Its merit.
I teal sura 1. voice the ssntlment of
many In this city when I urge you to
seriously consider tbe Issuing of i
morning edition of your paper. Com
Ing here a stranger, I was completely
disgusted with the mud-sltnglng of a
dally paper, and I simply never read It
as a result. The writer meets many
who express the same sentiment. Why
don’t you occupy the field?

To the 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 tha congested city centers. Right
In the center of the business heart of
Atlanta. In tha very midst of the mag
nificent group of towering office pal
aces, there Is one place without a sin
gle expansive structure or Improve
ment. Surrounded as It Is. with all
tha grand commercial structures of
the vary heart of Atlanta, It would
seem, Indeed, that Providence had In
some mysterious way, kept In reserve
this very spot that tha people ot the
1 and untold generation yet un-
. night have just here a fountain
from which to quaff the life-giving
elixir of God'e precious nectar; abund
ance of oxone-laden air, distilled
through the 1 ceres of the tress, and
scented with the perfume of nature's
floral laboratory, and mellowed Into
one exquisite bland of refreshing ex-
hllarttlon with tbe added aroma of
freshly mown grass lawns and wall
kept shrubbery.
Tha 8pot.
I herewith suggest that at any coat
tha city condemn and purchase for a
central park square or plasa, the two
blocks hounded by Broad street on the
•set, Walton on tha south, Forsyth on
the west and Lucklt on the north.
Very truly yours.
