THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN.
SOME PERTINENT QUERIES
ASKED B Y JUDGE BA TEMAN
The following card, asking several
pertinent questions of candidates con
cerning city politics and affairs, ’
pen received by The Georgian:
gdltor of The Georgian:
The city executive committee has
called the primary for August 21 next,
and candidates have been making an
nouncement*. Their friends and the
friends of good government have
brought them out. Of course, they
are not self-constituted. Their valua
ble services ire sought by others. But
upon what principles are these candi
date* running? Upon what platform
b,ve their friends and these friends of
good government put them? Are we
rtlll to have the old song, "We are for
Atlanta,” and when they get In turn
their backs on Atlanta, by attempting
to sell our water works and getting
them In the bands of a private cor-
IKtraiion, and do other like damage?
Are not there many Issues upon
which these candidates should be made
to declare themselves for or against?
If not, with what intelligence can u
citizen cast his vote7
I. Are these candidates In favor of our
present uniform and ad volorem system
of taxation, and do they favor and ad
vocate a strict, Just and equal assess
ment of property for same? Are they
opposed to or are they in favor of any
Increase In the present rate of taxa
tion?
Is not the license tax for the priv
ilege of carrying on business In our
dty In many Instances unequal, un
just and oppressive? Will they favor
the regulation of such tax as shall be
just and fair to all business enter
prises?
3. Do they recognize that monopolies
oppress and hinder others In the pur
suit of business enterprises, and tha
they prevent competition and leave
the people at their mercy? Are they
in favor of apd will they contend for
equal Justice to all, and. special priv
ileges to none?
4. Do they favor municipal regula
tion by appropriate legislation of all
street railway and telephone systems,
and the electric and gas light plants
and all other public utilities, and ab
solute ownership when necessary for
the protection of the peoplo7
5. Do they recognize that ward pri
maries Is "home rule.” and will lessen
the expenses of holding elections? Are
they in favor of such primaries for al
dermen and councllmen, and through
out the city for mayor and officers of
the heads of departments: or do they
favor changing the election of the last
named from the people to the council,
and from the council to the people at
the will of the officeholder who is
scheming for reelectlon?
Do they recognize that there
ought to be a law enacted by which
■hall be created for the city a railway
and civil service commission to be se
lected by a majority vote of the peo
ple In the same manner as that of
mnyor and other heads of departments
with authority to regulate street rail
way and telephone systems and elec

lic utilities, and with authority to se

on this subject?

scheme w-as on foot and an effort was
made to dispose of our water works to
a private corporation at the expense of
the people, and to further fasten cor

that will accommodate the present and
future growth of our city, snd do they

12. Are they In favor of, or are they
against judicial and legislative officers
accepting free passes, franks, etc., from
corporations?
IS. And last, but not least:
Are they ln favor of reasonable sal
aries for the officers of the heads of
departments, that Is. such as will rea
sonably compensate them and subor
dinates for the services performed, and
such as are usually paid for such like
services by private Individuals, firms,
companies and private corporations; or
are they In favor or not of taxing the
people to pay such high salaries ns
they would not pay In their own pri
vate buslnes for such like service?
These are Issues, live Issues, that
the people are Interested In. Let the
candidates speak out, or let the people
get together ln convention and make a
platform upon which their candidates
shall stand.

Mr. Rockefeller became alarmed, and
mild he was here to rest and excused
himself, but the crank persisted.
•1 don’t want you to give me any-
thing.” said the Englishman. "I want
to give you something: I want to teach
you French. I can do It so that you
will be able to speak the language In

Mr. Rockefeller seemed to be very
much relieved, lie thanked the En
glishman smilingly and said:
"I'm very sorry, but I really haven't
time. Resides l manage to get along
very well with English. Everybody
seems to speak It. Good day.”
Then the crank Insisted that It was
Mr. Rockefeller s duty to become ac

As a matter of fact. Rockefeller has
been making use of an easy method
of learning conversational French.

of blood came out of his mouth. The
family, wild with terror, sent for a
doctor, and paid a half dollar to be

Mercifully the doctor did not say this

In winter It was no Joke get-
and no
ting through these places, before light
in the morning and after dark at
night. They would wrap up fn all
they owned, but they could not wrap
up against exhaustion; and many a
man gavo* nut In th*ne battle* with
the snowdrifts, and lay down and fill
asleep.
And If It was bad for the men, one
may Imagine how the women and chil
dren fared. Some would tide In the
cars, if the cars were running; but
when you are making only 5 cents an
hour, as was little Stanlslovas, you do
not like to spend that much to tide
2 miles. The children would come to
the yards with great shawls about
their ears, and ao tied up that you
could hardly And them—god still there
would be accidents. One bitter morn
ing In February, the little boy who
worked at the lard machine with
Stanlslovas came about an hour late,
and screaming with pain. They un
wrapped him. and a man began vig
orously rubbing his ears; and as they
were froxen stiff It took only two or
three rubs to break them short oft.
•A* a result of this, little Stanlslovas
conceived a terror of the cold that
was almost a mania.
Every morning wnen It came time
to start for the yards, he would begin
to cry and protest. Nobody knew
quite how to manage him. for threats
did no good—It seemed to be some
thing that he could not control, and
they feared sometimes that he would
go Into convulsions. In the end. It
had to be arranged that he always
went with Jurgls, nnd came home with
him again; and often, when the snow
was deep, the man would carry him
the whole way on his shoulders.
Sometimes Jurgls would be working
until late at night, and then It was
pltlfuJ. for there was no place for the
little fellow to wait, save ln the door-
ware or In a corner of the killing beds,
and he would all but fall asleep there,
and freeze to death.
There was no heat upon the killing
beds; the men might exactly as well
have worked out of doors all win
ter. For that matter, there was very
little heat anywhere In the building,
except In the cooking rooms and such
places—and tt waa the men who work
ed ln these places who ran the most
risk of all. because whenever they
had to pass to another room they had
to go through Ice cold corridors, and ,
sometimes with nothing on above the
On tho killing beds you were apt to be
covered with blood, and It would freeze
solid; If you landed against a pillar,
you would freose t£> that, and If you
put your hand upon tho blade of your
knife, you would run a chance of leav
ing your skin upon It.
The men would tie up their feet in
newspapers and old sacks, and theso
would bo soaked In blood and frozen,
und then soaked again, and no on until
by night time a man would bo walk
ing on great lumps tho size of the feet
of an elephant. Now nnd then, when
the bosseq were not looking, you would
see them plunging their feet nnd an
kles Into the steaming hot carcass of
tho steer or darting across the room to
the hot water Jets. The crudest thing
of all was that nearly all of them
those who used knives—were unable to
wear gloves, nnd their arms would be
white with front and their hnnds would
grow numb, and then or course there
would be accidents. Also the air would
be full of steam from the hot water
hot blood, so that you could
not seb five feet before you; and with
men rushing about at tho speed they
Imrt up on the killing beds, and all
with butcher knives, llko razors. In
their hands—well. It was to be counted
as a wonder that there were not more
men slaughtered'than cattle.
And yet all this Inconvenience they
might have put up with. If only It had
not been for o “ “
had been some
edt. Jurgls ha
ner amid the stench In which he had
worked, or else to rush, as did all his
companions, to any <me of the hun
dreds of liquor stores which stretched
out their arms to blm. To the west of
the yards ran Ashland avenue, and
here was an unbroken line of saloons—
"Whisky Row,” they called It; to tho
north was Forty-seventh street, where
there were half a dozen to the block,
and at the angle of the two waa
"Whisky Point, a space of fifteen or |
twenty acres, and containing one glue |
factory and about two hundred saloons.
One might walk among these and
take hla choice: "Hot pea soap and

time; and so he got the reputation of
being a surly fellow, and was not quite
welcome at the saloons, and had to
drift about from one to another. Then
at night he would go straight home,
helping Ona and Stanlslovas, or often
putting the former on a car. And
when ho got homo perhaps he would
have to trudge several blocks, and
come staggering buck through the
snowdrifts with a bug of coal upon hla
Bhotlldor. Home was not a very at
tractive place—at least not this win
ter. They bad only been able to buy
one stove, nnd this was a small one,
and proved not big enough to w*artn
even thn kitchen In the bitterest
weather. This made It hard for Teta
Klzbleta nil day. nnd for the children
when they could not get to school.
At night they would sit huddled
around tlilu stove, while they nte their
supper off their Laps; and then Jurgls
nnd Jonnu would smoke a pipe, after
which they would crawl Into their
hod* to get warm, after putting out the
lire to save the coni. Then they would
hava some frightful experiences with

their clothes on. Including their over-
ts, nnd nut over them all the bed

the children would sleep, ult crowded
Into one bad, nnd yet even so they
could not keep warm The outside
ones would be Mhlwrlng and sobbing,
crawling over thn others und trying fd
get down Into tbe t enter, uml causing
II light. This old house with the Irakv
wentherbonrd* was a very different
thing from their plastered cabins st
home, with great thick mud walls pos
tered Inside and outside with mud. and
the cold which came upon them was a
living thing, a demon - preset* In thn
room. They would waken In the mid
night hours, when everything was
black; perhiif* they would hear It
yelling outside, or perhaps there would
be deathlike silliness -and that would
would be worse yet.
They could feel the cold as It crept
In through the cracks, reaching out
for them with Its Icy, death-dealing
fingers; and they would crouch and
cower anil try to hide from It, all In
vain. It would come, and It would
come; n grisly thing, a spectre born
In tho black caverns of terror; a power
primeval, cosmic, shadowing the tor
tures of the lost souls flung out to
chaos and destruction. It whm cruel.
Iron-hard; and hour after hour they
would cringe in Its grasp, alone, alona.
There would be no one to hear them If
they cried out; there would be no help,
mercy. And so on until morning—
when they would go out to another
day <>f t..|l, ii llttla- weaker, m

not Intending to drink you would get

understood the convention and drank;
they believed that by it they were get

did not need to taka more than
lall. And then hi* wif* might set
out to look for him, and she, too,
would feel tha cold; and oerhaps aha

her—and so a w hole family would drift
